He could even imagine, after Nianyang went through these events, so pitiful and helpless, it wasn’t him who saved her.

And she so eagerly hoped for his comfort, called him all night, where was he at that time?

For the sake of a so-called ridiculous plan, he was with another woman.

Even if he didn’t do anything to betray Nianyang, the fact remains, he failed to give Nianyang warmth in time.

Li Tingyan pressed his chest, where it hurt so much it’s almost numb, he truly didn’t dare to think how painful Nianyang’s heart would have felt at that time, how could he be so bad?

"Li Tingyan, you think she only did this?"

Shi Feng sneered, recalling those piercing words Nianyang had said to him before, tears welled up.

"I saved her, but she was so cruel to me, rejecting my request for her to take care of me, just because she said she and you loved each other deeply, promised each other they wouldn’t let any other person stand between them!"

Li Tingyan stared blankly at Shi Feng, Shi Feng choked and said,

"She said she was afraid if you found out later, you’d feel uncomfortable, even hiding it was not okay, because you both agreed to be honest with each other, she couldn’t bear for you to be even a little upset."

The sharp pain Li Tingyan barely calmed down returned anew, silence fell as he shed tears.

Yes, she remembered every promise between them.

She kept it in her heart, never defying it. Yet he would always find various reasons to hide their promises.

She couldn’t bear for him to be sad, yet he continually made her sad.

"Li Tingyan, do you know how lucky you are, what gives you the right? Clearly, it was me who saved Nianyang recklessly, why does she think of you in every regard, just because of you, she doesn’t give me any chance!"

Shi Feng cried like a child, sitting against the wall as if talking to himself,

"I like her, I really really like her, I’ve never seen such a decisive girl, I know, she appears tough but has an incredibly tender heart,

but her tender heart is only for you, for you, she rejects all ambiguity, doesn’t give me a chance, only because she loves you, but do you deserve it?

You aren’t even by her side, you did nothing, what gives you the right, just because you got an early start, leaving a mark in her heart, whatever anyone else does is in vain."

Upon hearing this, Li Tingyan couldn’t help but ask himself in his heart, yes, what gives him the right, along the way, she’s protected him more. How many times has he protected her? All her sadness, grievances, pain, were caused by him.

"She said I don’t understand love, that I’m only interested in her temporarily, I’m not convinced, I questioned back, and she said something none of this world can separate you, what you’ve been through, I simply don’t understand, the relationship between you two has long transcended life and death, embedded in your souls, you’ll never be apart."

Shi Feng spoke, letting out a cold laugh,

"Look, how naive she is, saying you can’t be separated, it’s all her wishful thinking, I’ve always said, you’re such an ambitious man, you won’t love someone with her kind of steadfast loyalty, am I right? Now she’s tasting the bitter fruit, I think she must really regret loving a man like you!"
