12. The Road to Getting Back Ones Lover Is Long~

Lu Ting was startled. He then laughed. I will never leave you again.

There was no need to be afraid anymore. He didnt have to hesitate or have any misgivings.

I will never let go of you again.

No matter how this ends.

Lu Ting stretched out both arms and wrapped Xie He inside of them. He pressed the other tightly against his chest. They laid there skin-to-skin, feeling each others heart beats.

Lu Ting cast his eyes down. His gaze was full of love and tenderness.

Since a long, long time ago, Ive wanted to tell you those words. I wanted to tell you that I would never leave you. But I couldnt back then.This time, I will uphold my promise.

I will spend my life with you until the very last moment.

Xie Hes lips curled up. If this idiot were to show him a hesitant, indecisive, or worried look again, he wouldnt have given him another chance. LuckilyLu Ting hadnt disappointed him this time.

Lu Ting held the person he loved, content. He was reluctant to leave the bed. After a long stretch of time pa.s.sed, he suddenly realized that they had already missed their flight.

Lets go back. Ill have Henry buy new tickets. Lu Ting asked again. He hadnt forgotten that he wanted to go back to their country. They couldnt stay here!

This time, Xie He didnt object. He nodded.

Lu Ting made the call right away, ecstatic.

Three hours later, the two of them were on their return flight.

It was completely different from when they had flown here. On the return flight, Lu Ting would occasionally flash a baffling smile. It was obvious that he was in an extremely good mood. He held Xie Hes hand the whole way back. He didnt seem to feel like this was too lovey-dovey or embarra.s.sing.

Xie He obviously wasnt the type to be affected by this. Although he felt like Lu Ting was being a bit

cough

too much, he still let the other do as he pleased.

Who let this vinegar jar hold himself back for so long?

Lu Ting had no intention of going back to his house upon arriving home. He shamelessly followed Xie He back to his place and acted like he was seriously about to settle down here. He toured Xie Hes home with a lot of interest and directly threw his luggage into Xie Hes room.

Xie He pressed down on his forehead. Suddenly, he felt like he was being too indulgent of Lu Ting. This fellow was quite skilled at sucking up to himk2026;.

Xie He raised a brow and suddenly said, What did you do to Yu Shu? Why didnt he come that day?

Lu Tings expression stiffened. He lowered his head and said, I tied him up. But dont worry, I had someone free him after I left.

Xie He sneered. Hes my boyfriend.

Lu Ting was jealous again. However, he couldnt refute those words. He could only blink at Xie He sweetly and ask, When will you break up?

Xie He gave him a cold smile. Did I say that Id break up with him?

Lu Ting said in a serious and upright tone, You already have me. Its irresponsible to lead someone else on. Teacher Yu is a pure original inhabitant. You wouldnt really play with his feelings, right?

Xie He: .

This fellow understood him quite a bit.

Lu Ting walked over and wrapped his arms around Xie Hes waist, kissing the other softly. He smiled. I always knew what kind of person you were. Youre only cruel towards your enemies. Youve never hurt anyone innocent.

Thats why, even if you had a dark or coldhearted side, Iwas still deeply attracted to you back then. It was because you werent weak but you werent foolishly nice either. You could fight vigorously but you never lost your conscience. You had your own bottom line and principles that you stuck by.

You never gave up even in the face of adversity. But you would never cast away your humanity because of a setback.Even though many people say that youre no good, in my eyes, youve always been the best.

Thats why I had wanted to help you and protect you.I didnt want to see you suffer so much.

Xie He snorted. Scram.

Lu Ting immediately left. It had been so difficult to get his lover back. He would definitely do as Xie He wished. He would never anger him again!

Xie He watched Lu Ting leave and sighed softly. There was a nostalgic look in his eyes.

The first time he had seen Lu Ting had been twenty years ago. Back then, Xie He had still been a child.He had only been able to use that kind of method to protect himself because no one had loved or protected him.

Despite being the eldest son of the Xie Family, he had never been liked by his parents. There were very few people who had favorable opinions of him.Even though there were sometimes people who would approach him or curry favour with him, the majority of those people had other intentions. He used to wish for his parents love but that was something he would never attain. He used to wish to be treated with sincerity by others, but that too was something that could only be left up to fate and not sought. Even if someone truly liked him, their love would be superficial. That wasnt what he wanted.

He had learned how to read other peoples hearts since he had been young. Since childhood, he had been able to tell whether someone had good or bad intentions towards him.But the more he saw, the more disappointed he had become with the world.

Xie He still remembered the first time he had met Lu Ting. That man wasnt good at telling lies. He had used Xie Hes cla.s.smate as an excuse to approach him.

Xie He had been able to tell that the older man had an ulterior motive for approaching him. However, he had pretended not to notice. He had wanted to find out just why the other had been approaching him.He had watched him, ridiculing the other inwardly.

Later on, things had indeed developed as he had expected. The frequency of his encounters with Lu Ting had increased. Lu Ting had appeared more and more. It could even be said that Lu Tings intentions had been obvious to everyone. It was probably just Lu Tingwho thought that he was acting natural?

Xie He had acted like head accepted Lu Tings intimacy but his heart hadnt been moved in the slightest. In Xie Hes mind, there was no such thing as love without a reason. There was always a reason someone would love someone else.So, what was Lu Tings reason? What did he want from Xie He?

This was what Xie He had wanted to know.

Thus, he allowed Lu Ting to get closer to him. He slowly began to sound Lu Ting out.But he hadnt expected for things to have unfolded the way they had.

Lu Ting had never asked for anything. With Lu Tings status and position, he obviously didnt covet the Xie Familys riches. He was like a person who had randomly fallen out of the sky. As if the sole reason he had come was Xie He.

The most important thing was, Xie He had never seen malice in his eyes.

It was very hard to deceive others with ones eyes.

Just as Xie He had acted in the other worlds, if someone wanted to trick another, they first had to trick themself. Getting into characterthis meant that they had to completely imagine that they were in their role.When someone was deep enough into their character, it would be very difficult to tell reality from fiction.

If Lu Ting was acting, then his acting ability would have had to be extraordinary. Furthermore, it was easy to act for a moment, but extremely difficult to act for a lifetime. If they could maintain an act for their entire life, then at that point, it could be considered real from a certain perspective.

Lu Ting had spent seven years with Xie He. Xie He had watched Lu Ting for seven years.

Time would uncover any lies. Seven yearswas enough for Xie He to see through this utterly sincere and evidently clumsy man.

Xie He came to this conclusion: perhaps Lu Ting had approached him with an ulterior motive in the beginning, but the love Lu Ting had for him was no lie.

This was why Lu Ting had managed to increase Xie Hes Favourability Value back then.

It wasnt because Lu Ting had managed to trick Xie He, but because he had moved Xie Hes heart.

In this world, who could truthfully say that they didnt want to be loved? Even if they could say this, it would probably be because they were compelled by their circ.u.mstances.

For Xie He, these seven years of companions.h.i.+p and care, this quiet loveit was special.

Maybe his parents didnt love him. Maybe his friends didnt really like him. Maybe there had been people who loved him that had left. He had seen the ugly side of this world butat least there was someone who had loved him silently from start to finish. Even if this person had never said it out loud, he had never asked for anything in return. He was stupidand touching.

Later on, Xie He met host after host. Every single one of them would tell him that they loved him. Every single one of them knew how to trick people into falling in love better than Lu Ting had. But Xie He would frequently recall that man who had left without saying goodbye.He would recall that mans eyes.

Lu Tings eyes were different from everyone elses.

He had never met someone who loved him more than Lu Ting had.

Lu Ting was the only personwho was willing to give up everything to come back to him.

Xie He went to his study. He pulled out the little erotic novel from his drawer and slowly flipped it open. A smile appeared on his lips as he read it.

According to his character settings, he was a sinister, overbearing, coldhearted, and selfish President. If it werent for Lu Tingthen perhaps he really would have turned into such a person.

It had been Lu Ting who had added a softer side to his heart.

But you left me after making me fall in love with you. Something like thatof course you have to pay the price for it. Otherwise, how would you understand how upset and frustrated I had been back then?

After all, according to my character settings, Im really quite selfish. I hold onto my grudges. Mn, that hasnt changed.

The next morning, Xie He said to Lu Ting after dressing, Im going to see Yu Shu today.

Lu Ting immediately looked at him apprehensively. Oh.

Xie He said, Come with me.

Lu Ting could only go with Xie He. He recalled the impolite things he had done to Yu Shu and felt ashamed. After all, he was only an original inhabitant that didnt know about any of this. Furthermore, what Lu Ting was more afraid of was angering Xie He. His expression was tense the whole journey.

Lu TingWhat should I do? Was I too impulsive back then? I should have been a bit gentler.

666Hehe, I remember having reminded you, ah. But you still did it anyway. Ahhow shocked, scared and furious Teacher Yu must have been then. He probably hates you to death.

Lu TingDo you think an apology will help?

666I dont know. How about you give it a try?

Yu Shu was waiting at a restaurant. That day, after Lu Ting had tied him up, he hadnt seen Xie He again. He was really worried. When he heard that Xie He had come back, he finally relaxed.

Shortly after he arrived, Xie He also arrived. However, what Yu Shu hadnt expected was that Lu Ting had also come!

When Yu Shu recalled how fiendish Lu Ting had looked back then, his face paled and he took a step back.

Lu TingI dont think an apology will help.

666Ai, restrain your grief and accept your fate.

Eve: Xie Hes introspection makes me soft. T^T He can indeed be a p.r.i.c.k, but hes a p.r.i.c.k with a soft side. Especially when it comes to Lu Ting and 444.

sere: i feel like hes nice to 444 cuz 444 reminds him of the clumsy Lu Ting.
