From Here On, Your Life Will Surge and Swell, While I Turn Away in Peace

Hu Xinxin switched to battle mode and spat out half a sentence at Xu Qingying. Then she felt it was a bit inappropriate to criticize Xu Qingying in front of the child, but she didn't stop there. Instead, she decisively switched to telepathic shouting.

One insult after another was hurled at him.

Everyone around guessed what Hu Xinxin was doing; she must be verbally abusing someone.

Xu Qingying hadn't expected Hu Xinxin to be so fierce. She didn't repeat herself when she cursed, and she didn't use words like "bitch" or "slut" at all. But the feeling that Hu Xinxin was cursing her was even more painful than being called those names.

Xue Tianfei was quite satisfied with Hu Xinxin's quick response, so while watching Hu Xinxin scold, she observed her surroundings. Sensing that the atmosphere was gradually turning sour, and seeing that Hu Xinxin's expression had improved slightly, she reached out and gently tugged at Hu Xinxin's skirt.

The message tells Hu Xinxin she can stop now.

Hu Xinxin sensed Xue Tianfei's movement, stopped, frowned and looked at Xue Tianfei, who should have been on her side and joined her in cursing Xue Tianfei Xu Qingying, but instead stopped her. Her eyes were full of doubt.

What, I'm helping you swear, and you're interrupting me?!

Xue Tianfei transmitted her voice, "You're right to curse! But you can stop for a bit now that you've had your fun. Qing'an said he'll talk to her properly, so let Qing'an handle it."

Hu Xinxin glanced at Lu Qing'an, and then noticed that Lu Qing'an was also looking at her. He gently shook his head at her.

She gritted her teeth and finally sat down. She actually wanted to curse a little longer, but when she stopped, her gaze continued to look at Xu Qingying, her eyes narrowed into slits, still full of hostility.

It's as if they're saying, "For their sake, we'll let you off this time!"

But if you keep acting up, I'll keep cursing you to death!

Lu Qing'an stood up and said, "Let's go outside and talk."

He really needs to have a serious talk with his ex-wife.

When divorcing, in front of thousands of people, there are some things that cannot be said. Now that it's all over, let's have a proper talk and end it in a dignified way.

Everyone has their own choices. Since things have come to this point, for the sake of the child and their relationships with others, there's no need for things to get too tense.

Lu Qing'an walked outside.

Xu Qingying took a deep breath, composed herself, and quickly caught up.

She still clung to her last glimmer of hope.

They didn't give up even after being verbally abused.

"Ugh! I'm still getting more and more upset! Aren't you afraid she'll use some tricks to seduce Brother Qing'an back?!" Seeing Xu Qingying's hopeful expression return, Hu Xinxin felt upset again and looked at Xue Tianfei, asking her a question via telepathy.

Xue Tianfei was also gambling.

She's betting she didn't choose the wrong man.

I'm betting that the changes I've made over the years will make me even better than Xu Qingying.

But one thing she was very clear about was that she could feel Lu Qing'an had fallen in love with her, because the way Lu Qing'an looked at her now was exactly the same as the way she looked at him.

Xue Tianfei's answer remained the same.

I believe him.

Lu Qing'an flew away from the Lu Household and went to a mountain peak that the two of them used to frequent.

He sat down and looked at the sunset in the distance.

Now, the sun is setting behind the mountains and sea, ending its day's journey.

It also foreshadows the end of something.

Xu Qingying held her breath and cautiously approached. When she saw Lu Qing'an sitting in the same spot as before, her heart leaped with joy.

Is it possible to go back to the past?!

However, just as she was about to return to her old seat, Lu Qing'an's voice rang out.

"Let's keep some distance. If you have something to say, just say it."

Upon hearing this, the little joy that had just been born in Xu Qingying's heart vanished instantly, and her heart sank into the sea as if the sun had sunk with her.

She gripped the hem of her skirt and sat down two seats away from Lu Qing'an.

Lu Qing'an did not look at Xu Qingying, his gaze remaining fixed on the distant sunset.

He liked to look at the moon, but not so much at the sunset, because he always felt that the sunset represented an end, while the time after dusk and when night fell was the beginning of everything.

After finishing all his tasks in his past life, he returned home under the moonlight, where his grandmother was always waiting for him.

"Qing'an, can we go back to the past?"

Xu Qingying's eyes welled up with tears. After composing herself for a long time, she finally spoke the words she had kept inside for some time. Her voice trembled slightly and she even choked up a little.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'an felt almost exactly what he was thinking. He took a deep breath and then sighed.

He had already thought about how to answer.

He turned his head to look at Xu Qingying, deciding to leave a gentle mark on his past, and called out the name he used to call Xu Qingying.

"Qingying, it's all too late for everything between us."

A crack appeared in Xu Qingying's heart; she feared most that Lu Qing'an would treat her gently at this moment.

If Lu Qing'an were to hurl insults at her with all his might, she might still have hope.

But now his gentleness makes her feel suffocated.

A silent pain overwhelmed her entire mind.

"Qing'an! I, I was really wrong! I, I will change! I will love you with all my heart from now on! As long as we work together, we can definitely mend our relationship!!" Crystal tears slid down Xu Qingying's face like a broken string of pearls.

"Once something is broken, it's broken. I'd rather remember its beauty than try to mend it and spend my life looking at its broken parts. To be honest, Qingying, I don't care anymore." Lu Qing'an's tone was calm, and her emotions showed no ripples.

Some relationships don't end with arguments, but with silence; not with hatred, but with the cessation of all ripples in their relationship.

He never hated Xu Qingying, because he knew Xu Qingying wasn't a bad woman. She had her own pursuits and her own ideas. His unhappiness at the time was simply due to resentment.

Unwilling to accept that all that love had been poured into it, only to end up disappointed.

His love for Xu Qingying, his pain of resentment, his hope for his dreams—all these intense emotions have burned out, leaving only a last trace of cold ashes.

"I have exhausted every last bit of emotion for you and everything related to you. Your feelings, your awakening, your future—they mean nothing to me now."

Lu Qing'an used all her tenderness to utter her last, heartless words.

From then on, Xu Qingying's life was full of ups and downs, and he would calmly turn away.

Xu Qingying listened to Lu Qing'an's words, each one felt like a hammer blow to her heart.

She fell silent, speechless, utterly speechless.

Only endless tears were pouring down.

She knew that he no longer had any feelings for her.

The man who loved her more than he loved himself will never come back.

She buried her face in her hands and wept bitterly, only to find that she couldn't cry out loud.

Looking at Xu Qingying, Lu Qing'an had nothing more to say. He had released his last bit of tenderness, so he stood up, turned around, and flew away, leaving only a single sentence that lingered in the wind.

I wish you can find your own happiness too.

Xu Qingying quickly looked up in the direction Lu Qing'an had left, her eyes blurred with tears as she watched his receding figure.

She raised her hand to touch it; it was late autumn in October, and only the temperature of the wind remained.
