Chapter 192 The Greatest Honor of My Life
Jingye slowly stepped into her room, where she found it neat and orderly.
The room should be cleaned regularly, and every corner is wiped spotless, so he doesn't need to tidy up anymore.
The furniture was arranged exactly as it had been when he left, without any change.
A wave of familiarity washed over him, and a warm feeling welled up in Jingye's heart.
He found the sandalwood incense he hadn't taken with him in the same spot, lit it, and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his collar.
Returning to their resting place, their movements revealed a relaxation they hadn't felt in a long time.
After doing all this, Jingye's gaze inadvertently swept across the table, and her eyes froze instantly.
That is?
That was his farewell letter...
The letter had been opened; the seal was slightly ajar.
Clearly, Bai Li has already seen it.
But it remained untouched in its original place.
She did not take it with her.
In the still night, her fingertips traced the cracks in the torn letter, the subtle sensation seemingly spreading from her fingertips all the way to the depths of her heart.
The fact that she didn't want to take the letter suggests that the young lady is very unwilling to accept the fact that she is leaving.
As this thought flashed through Jingye's mind, she felt the guilt in her heart being magnified once again.
Miss must have been very sad when she saw this letter.
Time seemed to stand still. After a long while, Jingye slowly reached out, gently picked up the letter, and carefully put it away.
He should take this heavy "sin" upon himself and spend the rest of his life repaying it.
----------------------------------
The door to the room was open in the still night, not closed.
However, out of courtesy, Bai Li still raised her hand and gently knocked twice on the door before stepping into Jing Ye's room.
Inside, the lights cast a soft, warm glow, making the entire room cozy and inviting. Combined with the pleasant scent of sandalwood in the air, the space was filled with a tranquil atmosphere.
Jingye stood with her back to her by the window, her figure appearing exceptionally tall and slender.
Bai Li gazed at Jing Ye's retreating figure, a surge of indescribable emotion welling up within her. Only now did she truly feel its reality.
Quiet Night... has truly returned.
Hearing the door open, Jingye turned around, and the moment her eyes met Baili's, the tenderness in her eyes almost overflowed.
With no outsiders present, Jingye no longer restrained his emotions. Without hesitation, he walked towards Bai Li and hugged her tightly, filled with boundless guilt, tenderness, and longing...
I miss it so much...
I miss the unique scent of the young lady, and I miss this real, tangible warmth.
The intimate encounter he had with his wife in a hospital ward abroad still makes him blush and his heart race whenever he thinks about it.
Although he only tried it briefly due to his wound, it was enough to make him think about it and worry about it for a long time.
He indulged in meat for the first time, but was not satisfied.
Since then, during his long time recuperating in the sanatorium, he could only find solace in memories and endure the torment of longing with a tranquil and abstinent heart.
Every day was like a severe test of his willpower; the young lady really "tortured" him to the point of great pain.
Bai Li felt the restrained yet burning strength in Jing Ye's embrace, and couldn't help but gently pat Jing Ye's back, secretly wondering to herself:
It's just going home, why are you so excited?
I clearly visit him at the nursing home regularly; I didn't just leave him there and ignore him.
She wasn't some heartless woman who sent him to Ningguta and then went back to having fun after he left.
Depend on……
Bai Li suddenly realized something and her heart tightened.
If I were to say that, it would seem like I'm not entirely innocent.
During Jingye's hospitalization, she did not lose contact with those "women" and even attracted several more.
Thinking of those men whose favorability ratings had soared to over 70 and who inexplicably developed a one-sided affection for her, Bai Li felt a chill run down her spine.
Not only that, she also had an intimate relationship with Guan Cha.
What's worse, he even brought Guan Cha home...
Recalling the awkward scene from before, Bai Li's face flushed slightly. She stammered as she explained, "Um... Jingye, please don't take what happened just now to heart. I didn't expect you to come back early, so..."
Bai Li couldn't continue speaking.
She secretly despised herself; the words she uttered sounded utterly despicable coming from her own mouth!
Jingye gently shook her head, released her grip on Baili, and looked at Baili with no trace of blame in her blue eyes:
“Miss, there’s no need to explain. I understand. I will respect whatever decision you make. Don’t feel burdened by me. I will try to accept it.”
Bai Li was slightly taken aback; she understood the implied meaning in Jing Ye's words.
He was referring to Guan Cha...
It's not just about Guan Cha, but also about Ying Xiangyang, and others who may appear in the future.
Jingye is always so sensible, so sensible that it breaks your heart.
Bai Li firmly believes that this must be his truest thought, and has nothing to do with any so-called "entry".
Even without [the balance of love?], Jingye would still accept everything about her without reservation.
Actually, Xiao Hao's level-up tasks were never mandatory.
If she were truly devoted, she could have chosen not to complete those so-called system tasks.
Even if you don't do it, you won't be punished.
Ultimately, it was her boundless greed that drove her to continue down this tempting path.
Jingye undoubtedly became a "victim" of her "willfulness," and he had to passively endure the pain of sharing his beloved with others.
There are others besides the quiet night.
All of this was her fault, yet Jingye accepted it all without complaint.
Bai Li blinked, not wanting her tears to fall easily.
She gently cupped Jingye's face in her hands, her fingertips lightly caressing his cheek. Gazing into Jingye's eternally gentle blue eyes, she said with utmost sincerity, "Thank you, Jingye."
After a pause, Bai Li added, "...Also, I'm sorry."
Jingye's body stiffened slightly, and a barely perceptible look of surprise flashed across her face.
He gazed at Bai Li. Although Bai Li did not shed tears, the tears in her eyes tugged at his heartstrings. Following his heart, he gently kissed the corner of Bai Li's eye.
Bai Li subconsciously closed her eyes.
A gentle kiss in the quiet night, devoid of any lust, filled only with tenderness and comfort.
Immediately afterwards, Jingye's gentle voice rang in her ears: "Miss, don't be sad. Being by your side is the greatest honor of my life."
