Chen Lin was heartbroken. She cared so much about Huo Tian’s evaluation. These words were stabbing her where it hurt the most. She simply could not breathe.
However, Huo Tian’s words were so straightforward and sharp. They also made sense. Every word he said was what she cared about the most.
Chen Lin could not help but lower her head and reflect. Was this right?
It seemed like the real her was respected, but the pestering her was completely different.
Chen Lin was extremely sad. Everyone knew the principles, but many things were not something she could control.
After crying for a long time, Chen Lin said with tears in her eyes, “I know that I shouldn’t be doing this. I know that I have to love myself first. I know that this will make you despise me, but I can’t help myself anymore. I just want to keep you!”
She sniffled and continued to cry. “Do you know how happy I was these past few days? The person I’ve always looked up to, the person I couldn’t get in my dreams. He was by my side. He cooked for me every day and smiled at me. He tolerated all my emotions and treated me meticulously. What do you think I would think?”
Huo Tian quickly waved his hand and interrupted her. “I hope you don’t misunderstand. I didn’t do this for any reason. I just want you to recover as soon as possible. I don’t want to see your body hurt. I don’t want you to…”
“So you still haven’t developed any feelings for me at all?! That’s enough, Huo Tian. Do you think I’m a kitten or a puppy? Do you think taking care of me can reduce your apology or make you help my sister-in-law bear some guilt?!” Chen Lin suddenly became hysterical.
“Have you ever thought about it? I’m a living person. I like you! You came to take care of me. Have you ever cared about my emotions? Have you ever cared about how my feelings would develop? I’m not a tool for you to eliminate your guilt! You made my emotions rise and fall, made me love you but not be able to have you. Isn’t it irresponsible to pull back when I’ve completely fallen for you?” Chen Lin was getting more and more agitated.
Huo Tian was momentarily speechless.
Chen Lin wiped her tears and continued, “I’m sorry. I’m not a saint. I really became rational and restrained when I said I could control my feelings. The person I love is in front of me every day, fulfilling all my requests and fantasies. I’m made of flesh and blood. Is it wrong for me to want to keep all of this? Do you know? When I think of how such a good day is counting down every day, it’s very possible that I won’t have such a blissful time in my life again, my heart feels like it’s being cut by a knife!”
“Do you understand this kind of torture? Of course you don’t! Because you only want to fulfill your duty. After you take care of me, you can be liberated. In the future, when I tell you those three words, you can reject me boldly and confidently. Then, you can wait for others to say that you were already good enough to me. Or when you chase Bai Ran, there will be one huge obstacle between the two of you. That’s all!” Chen Lin’s words hit Huo Tian’s heart like a string of firecrackers.
Huo Tian looked at her furious expression and suddenly felt that he had indeed done something wrong.
He was only following his plan. He wanted Chen Lin to try to accept it in a gentle way so that he would not reject her directly and do something stupid.
However, Chen Lin did not know anything about this plan.
From Chen Lin’s point of view, she did not even know that behind this warm care was a conversation that was pouring cold water on her head.
She only felt that with the person she liked by her side every day, their relationship was getting better and better. She desperately wanted to keep this warmth. What was wrong with her?
Chen Lin took a deep breath and continued to say with a sad expression, “I’m sorry. I know my actions are very extreme, but do you know how much I want to keep you? How many girls can resist such temptation? You made me fall for you. I know I’m crazy, but please forgive me because I really can’t find a better way.”
Huo Tian instantly felt extremely pained. He felt sorry for his recklessness and self-righteousness.
He hugged his head tightly and frowned, as if he was unwilling to hear another word.
After venting her grievance, Chen Lin felt happy, but it was Huo Tian’s turn to be in pain again.
Perhaps everything had been wrong since he took care of Chen Lin in the hospital?
