One morning, when Tong Shuya woke up, she found Shangguan Lie looking at her again, using that complicated look. [ ]
This time, Shangguan Lie no longer dodged his sight like before, nor did he speak as sarcastically as before.
He just raised his hand, gently stroked the scar on her forehead, and said in a hoarse voice-
"sorry."
Tong Shuya choked up her throat, "It's okay."
"I didn't mean to hurt you." He lowered his eyes.
"I know." Tong Shuya smiled slightly, but tears fell from the corners of her eyes uncontrollably.
Shangguan Lie reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and spoke bitterly, "If you are smart enough, you should come back and go back to China."
"I want to stay."
"Why?" Shangguan Lie's voice was dull.
She looked at him, her lips squirmed a few times, and finally spoke, "Because I love you."
Shangguan Lie seemed to be hit by lightning, and his whole body was shocked.
Tong Shuya smiled slightly, with tears in her eyes, and she repeated firmly, "I love you, so I want to stay and take care of you until you are fully recovered..."
"I said I don't need your sympathy." Shangguan Lie opened his eyes and interrupted her, his voice hoarse, his eyes full of pain and fatigue, as if he could not bear Tong Shuya's love.
Tong Shuya looked at him gently, her voice drying slightly, "I said too, I never felt that you needed any sympathy."
"Don't waste time... on a waste like me who can't stand up......" Shangguan Lie said, feeling full of embarrassment.
Tong Shuya's heart was harshly gripped, and the heartache spread like a wave and spread throughout her body.
She always knew that Shangguan Lie always stubbornly believed that he was just sympathizing with him.
The two finally talked about the issue of making them always face each other. Tong Shuya did not force him anymore, nor did she stimulate or coerce him with words. She just gently stroked his face and whispered, "I've never been."
Don't think it's a waste of time."
She paused before continuing to say, "And, you have never been a waste in my heart."
Shangguan Lie pursed his lips, remained silent, and did not speak anymore.
Looking at his hard face, a feeling of helplessness surged in Tong Shuya's heart.
She didn't know what she should say now to convince Shangguan Lie and convince him that she was not sympathizing with him, but really loved him.
Tong Shuya only knew one thing clearly. If she continued to express her feelings now, Shangguan Lie would not only not believe it, but would feel that she was sympathizing with her.
Tong Shuya doesn't want to make things worse.
She took a deep breath and said quietly, "I know you don't believe what I said. I don't want to explain too much. I only have one request now."
"What?" Shangguan Lie pursed his lips and looked at her sadly.
Tong Shuya held his face and kissed his tight lips, "Promise me, you will cooperate with the doctor's request to take revenge next."
Shangguan Lie didn't say anything, but just looked at Tong Shuya deeply.
The next second, he reached out and slowly pulled Tong Shuya into his arms, hugged her tightly, as if he was about to rub her into his body.
Tong Shuya leaned in his arms, silently silent, with only one thing in her mind, that is—
Shangguan Lie still did not say anything in person, and agreed to her request for rehabilitation.
