“Anyway, there will be lots of problems. You are the most important person to me. He is my friend. If you kill him, you will create an insurmountable gap between us. If you kill him, I will lose both a friend and Sister Lin at the same time. I will lose three people in my life in an instant,” Feng Tianlan said.
Feng Tianlan lowered her head and bit her lips. “If that is the case, I will be like how I was after I was reincarnated, isolating myself from the world and never daring to make another friend. I did that because I didn’t know if I would create trouble for my friends or even cause their death. I would then be left with nothing.”
“Lan’er.” Si Mobai wrapped his arms around her waist. His anger had subsided long ago, and only regret was left at that moment. “I am sorry,” he said.
He had lost his rationality. He had only been focused on killing Xi Jin and avenging her. However, he didn’t consider if doing that would be good or bad for her.
Feng Tianlan shook her head. “You didn’t let me down. You are great, really great. I can’t blame you for doing that. It’s just that the way we seek vengeance is not by killing our own people but by killing the enemy instead. Xi Jin is innocent too. He is also a victim. He is like a big brother to me, a family member. Even if those things happened, I will always keep the truth away from him. It will break him,” she said.
Even though she knew Brother Jin had feelings for her, even though she was trying to avoid him and stay away from him to prevent his feelings from developing to her, Brother Jin would always be her big brother. He didn’t betray her nor had he hurt her. He was a big brother who treated her well without hesitation.
He felt worse than anyone else after such an incident happened. He blamed himself more than anyone else. However, he was innocent. Therefore, she couldn’t watch him die no matter what.
Si Mobai hugged her tightly. He then lowered his head and gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead. “Alright, alright. I know. I won’t kill him. I really won’t.”
It was his fault for not considering Feng Tianlan’s feelings and making her sad.
“Mobai.” After hearing him admit his mistake, Feng Tianlan felt bad. She then wrapped her hands around his neck and buried her head under his chin as she cried softly, saying, “I am sorry for talking to you this way, but they are really important to me.”
“It’s my fault. I am at fault. Stop crying,” he replied. The warm tears that dropped on his neck extinguished his fiery anger completely. He felt remorseful and guilty. He really shouldn’t lose control over himself. He had almost made a huge mistake.
Feng Tianlan was crying softly. “It isn’t your fault. It’s mine. I shouldn’t talk like that. However, if I don’t do that, I couldn’t stop you. Mobai… Boohoo…”
“It’s my fault. It really is my fault. I am the one who lost control over myself. I am the one who lost my mind and didn’t think of Lan’er feelings. I am the one who thought that doing this was right and was good for you. I didn’t think about how much you would suffer instead. I was wrong. Don’t cry. It’s alright, stop crying.” Mobai was patting her back while apologizing repeatedly and gently comforting her.
He had been together with Lan’er for so long. However, he had never seen her cry like this before.
“Boohoo… Mobai, I feel so hurt,” she said.
After hearing her say that, Si Mobai felt even more remorseful. “It’s my fault. I will never bite you again. Bite me back if you feel hurt.”
Lan’er rarely forced a kiss on him so emphatically. Why did he have to bite her? Normally, he would feel sorry for her when she bumped into something. Why had he bitten her today as if he was possessed? How hurt would she feel?
Feng Tianlan shook her head. She then spoke while crying, saying, “No, my face hurts. My heart hurts. My knees hurt. My wrists hurt. My eyes hurt…”
