Chapter 171: Lin Xian'er's Choice
Chapter 171: Lin Xian'er's Choice
As everyone prepared to leave, no one paid attention to the woman lying in the mud.
Even Baitian Yu had lost interest in Lin Xian'er at this point.
However, even as the matter came to a close, Lin Xian'er was not ready to give up. Her eyes, fixed on A Fei, were filled with unwillingness and despair.
She picked herself up, straightened her hair, and her voice softened as she said, "Little Fei."
A Fei stopped in his tracks.
Everyone halted in their departure.
Lin Xian'er caught a glimpse of Sun Xiaohong's mocking gaze as she clung to Li Xinhua's arm. She also saw Ding Baiyun's disdainful glance as she held You Longsheng's hand.
Lin Xian'er noticed the indifferent expression on Guo Sungyang's face, the repulsed look in Baitian Yu's eyes, the detached demeanor of the Tianji Elder, and the curious gaze of Ding Chengfeng. And of course, there was also...
You Longsheng, his eyes encouraging!
But at this moment, she had no time to worry about anything else. She knew that if she didn't hold on to A Fei now, she would truly lose everything.
"Little Fei..."
Lin Xian'er's voice was filled with regret and softness. "I'm sorry, I was wrong..."
"I only realized now that you are the only person in this world who has truly treated me well." Lin Xian'er continued, "Everyone else has been using me... I used them, and they used me... Only you, only you have always been sincere towards me."
"I regret it, I truly regret it, and I know I was wrong..."
Lin Xian'er looked at the expressionless A Fei, and her heart sank. It was at this moment that she realized that she might actually love him a little.
"Little Fei, don't worry. From now on, I will never make you sad again. I'll stay by your side every day, and we can start anew. I'll do anything you ask of me."
Lin Xian'er moved closer to A Fei and reached out to grab his hand. "If I have wronged you in the past, I will make it up to you in the future. I'll make you feel that no matter how well you treat me, it's all worth it."
No one spoke. Everyone was watching A Fei and Lin Xian'er, knowing that this was a personal matter between the two and that they had no right to interfere.
However, Li Xinhua, who should have been the most worried, showed no signs of concern. Instead, he even smiled.
And then, he saw A Fei shake off Lin Xian'er's hand.
Almost everyone witnessed the fear that flashed in Lin Xian'er's eyes.
"You... You don't want me anymore?" Lin Xian'er stuttered, "What I told you was all true. Although I've been with other men before... it was all fake..."
Lin Xian'er finally saw the look on A Fei's face—he was looking at her as if she were a stranger.
Lin Xian'er took a step back, unable to hide her shock. "You... You don't want to hear the truth? You'd rather I lie to you?"
But as Lin Xian'er's expression changed, A Fei suddenly laughed.
And as he laughed, Lin Xian'er's body trembled. A chill rose from the soles of her feet, and she felt as if she had fallen into the abyss.
"I'm only curious about one thing."
"What are you curious about?"
"I'm just curious as to how I could have ever fallen in love with a woman like you!"
Lin Xian'er was struck as if by lightning.
A Fei turned and walked away, as if he no longer wanted to spare her another glance.
Lin Xian'er's pupils dilated, and as she watched A Fei turn and walk away, her emotions finally burst forth.
She threw herself at A Fei's feet, clutching his clothes and sobbing uncontrollably. "How can you leave me like this... I have no one left but you..."
A Fei paused, but he didn't turn back. Slowly, he took off his clothes, leaving his upper body bare, and continued walking forward.
Lin Xian'er's cries turned to wails, knowing that she had lost A Fei forever.
No one paid attention to Lin Xian'er as they prepared to leave.
Only one person suddenly knelt in front of Lin Xian'er, who was still clutching A Fei's clothes and weeping bitterly.
Everyone's gaze finally turned to this person, and Lin Xian'er, filled with a glimmer of hope, looked up.
"You..."
She saw You Longsheng.
"You truly have broken my heart," You Longsheng said with a smile. "You once said that you were sincere only to me."
Ding Baiyun stood behind You Longsheng, smirking. She didn't seem to care either, as the current Lin Xian'er was no longer a threat to her.
Li Xinhua was speechless. He glanced at You Longsheng and then at Lin Xian'er, who was still lying in the mud, and felt a twinge of sympathy.
A Fei halted in his tracks, and everyone stopped their departure. Lin Xian'er caught the mocking gaze of Sun Xiaohong as she clung to Li Xinhua's arm, and the disdainful glance of Ding Baiyun, who stood hand-in-hand with You Longsheng.
She noticed the indifference of Guo Sungyang, the repulsed look in Baitian Yu's eyes, the detachment of the Tianji Elder, and the curious gaze of Ding Chengfeng. And, of course, there was also...
You Longsheng, his eyes encouraging!
But at this moment, she had no time to worry about anything else. She knew that if she didn't hold on to A Fei now, she would truly lose everything.
"Little Fei..." Lin Xian'er's voice was filled with regret and softness. "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I only realized now that you are the only person in this world who has truly treated me well. Everyone else has been using me... I used them, and they used me... Only you, only you have always been sincere towards me."
"I regret it, I truly do, and I know I was wrong..." Lin Xian'er continued, her eyes pleading.
But A Fei remained expressionless, and as this realization sunk in, Lin Xian'er's heart sank with it. It was in this moment that she understood that she might actually love him a little.
"Little Fei, don't worry. From now on, I will never make you sad again. I'll stay by your side every day, and we can start anew. I'll do anything you ask of me." Lin Xian'er moved closer to A Fei and reached out to grab his hand. "If I have wronged you in the past, I will make it up to you in the future. I'll make you feel that no matter how well you treat me, it's all worth it."
No one spoke. Everyone watched the interaction between A Fei and Lin Xian'er, knowing that this was a personal matter and that they had no right to interfere.
Surprisingly, Li Xinhua, who should have been the most worried, showed no signs of concern. Instead, he wore a smile on his face.
And then, he witnessed A Fei shake off Lin Xian'er's hand.
Almost everyone saw the fear that flashed in Lin Xian'er's eyes. "You... You don't want me anymore?" she stuttered. "What I told you was true. Although I've been with other men before... it was all fake..."
Lin Xian'er finally saw the look on A Fei's face—one of a stranger looking back at her. She took a step back, unable to hide her shock. "You... You don't want to hear the truth? You'd rather I lie to you?"
But as Lin Xian'er's expression changed, A Fei suddenly laughed. And as he did, Lin Xian'er's body trembled. A chill rose from the soles of her feet, and she felt as if she had fallen into an abyss.
"I'm only curious about one thing," A Fei said.
"What are you curious about?" Lin Xian'er asked, her voice shaking.
"I'm just curious as to how I could have ever fallen in love with a woman like you!" A Fei's words struck Lin Xian'er like lightning.
He turned and walked away, no longer wanting to spare her a glance.
Lin Xian'er's pupils dilated as she watched him turn his back on her, and her emotions finally burst forth. She threw herself at A Fei's feet, clutching his clothes and sobbing uncontrollably. "How can you leave me like this... I have no one left but you..."
A Fei paused, but he didn't turn back. Slowly, he took off his clothes, baring his upper body, and continued walking forward.
Lin Xian'er's cries turned to wails, knowing that she had lost A Fei forever.
No one paid attention to Lin Xian'er as they prepared to depart. But then, something unexpected happened.
You Longsheng knelt in front of Lin Xian'er, who was still clutching A Fei's clothes and weeping bitterly. All eyes turned to him, and Lin Xian'er, filled with a glimmer of hope, looked up.
"You..." She saw You Longsheng and remembered her words to him.
"You truly have broken my heart," You Longsheng said with a smile. "You once said that you were sincere only to me."
Ding Baiyun stood behind You Longsheng, smirking. Lin Xian'er was no longer a threat to her, so she didn't seem to care either.
Li Xinhua was speechless. He glanced at You Longsheng and then at Lin Xian'er, who was still in the mud, and felt a twinge of sympathy.
"You..." Lin Xian'er began, her voice hoarse from crying. "You said you'd help me..."
You Longsheng's smile faded, and his expression turned serious. "I will help you, but first, you have to answer a question for me."
"Ask." Lin Xian'er's voice was barely audible.
"Do you really love A Fei?" You Longsheng asked softly.
Lin Xian'er's eyes widened, and she nodded vigorously. "I do, I really do!"
You Longsheng nodded, his expression softening. "Then listen carefully. If you truly love him, then don't give up. Change yourself, become a better person, and pursue him with all your heart. Prove to him that you're sincere and that you're willing to do whatever it takes to make it up to him."
"But..." Lin Xian'er started, her voice full of doubt.
You Longsheng continued, "Don't worry about A Fei's reaction now. He's hurt and angry, so it's natural for him to push you away. But if you truly love him, you have to be persistent. Show him that you're willing to put in the effort to win him back."
"As the saying goes, 'It's easier for a woman to chase a man.' I believe in you, Lin Xian'er. If you truly love him, go for it!" You Longsheng encouraged her with a smile.
Lin Xian'er was stunned, and so was everyone else.
A Fei, unable to maintain his composure any longer, finally spoke up. "You just want to see me in a difficult situation!" he accused You Longsheng.
A Fei had no intention of killing Lin Xian'er, so if she truly changed and started pursuing him with all her heart...
How would he respond?
You Longsheng found the whole situation amusing. He couldn't wait to see how A Fei would handle Lin Xian'er's potential pursuit.
The next ten years would be interesting, with Li Xinhua juggling between Lin Shi'er and Sun Xiaohong, and A Fei dealing with Lin Xian'er's advances.
You Longsheng's smile was encouraging and supportive as he concluded, "The choice is now yours, Lin Xian'er. You can either give up and surrender to your fate or start pursuing A Fei with a renewed determination. It's up to you to decide your future."
You Longsheng stood up, taking Ding Baiyun's hand in his, and addressed the group with a proud smile. "Well, what do you think? Don't you think I make sense?"
Everyone exchanged glances, unsure how to respond. A Fei, however, felt the intense gaze of Lin Xian'er on him, and it made him want to smoke in frustration.
"You Longsheng! I'm going to kill you!" A Fei exclaimed.
