That middle-aged man had lied a lot. He had treated his life as a joke. Perhaps he had decided not to meet her again until his death.

However, if he had really made up his mind, why had he come to see her? It was because he could not let go.

“Do you love him?” Nun Jingxin asked.

“Yes, I love him a lot.” Ling Sheng nodded hurriedly, her eyes full of determination and sparkling stars.

“Are you determined to spend the rest of your life with him? Are you sure he'll protect you forever? Will you protect him forever?”

“Yes.”

“Did he explain why he didn't come over?”

“Yes.”

“Then why are you angry?”

“I'm just angry that he stood me up. Didn't we agree? Why didn't he come?” Ling Sheng let out an angry snort.

Nun Jingxin smiled bitterly as though she was reminiscing. She then said, “You're still young. When young people fall in love, they act like you. They often make a scene out of trivial matters. When you reach my age, you'll know that those things are really not worth mentioning.”

“Then, what is worth mentioning in your opinion, Nun?” Ling Sheng blinked her big eyes. After all, this beautiful lady was gentle, sensible, and magnanimous.

“In my opinion?” Nun Jingxin held a cup of tea and looked up slightly at the last leaf on the tree opposite her, which had been blown by the wind. “Compared to life and death or Yin and Yang, nothing is a big deal.”

The last leaf, which had tried its best to hold on until now, had been blown to the ground by the north wind.

Ling Sheng's heart ached as she covered it with her hand gently and comforted her silently. “But Nun, besides men, there's also friends.h.i.+p and kins.h.i.+p in the world.”

Humans did not just live for love. There was also equally important friends.h.i.+p and kins.h.i.+p in life. Why did she seem not to care about anything? Her heart was like dead ashes, and she looked like she would leave at any time.

Nun Jingxin's heart skipped a beat. It hurt a little. Was this kins.h.i.+p? She had initially thought that it existed, but in the end, everyone she loved and cared about had turned against her and tried to kill her.

There was certainly friends.h.i.+p. If her friends had not supported her, she might have left with him six years ago. No one knew what it felt like to have an empty heart. No one knew what it felt like to live every minute and second in pain.

Ling Sheng felt that even if she did not say anything, it would be good to stay quietly with her. She had a nice sandalwood smell about her that could calm one's heart.

“Are you hungry?” Nun Jingxin asked with a smile when she saw her drinking water.

“Is there anything to eat?” Ling Sheng walked around in a circle, digesting the food in her stomach. She looked at her with drooling eyes and nodded. “I am a little.”

“Hold on, I'll get you something to eat.” Nun Jingxin smiled at her. The young lady was really adorable and obedient.

Ling Sheng basked in the sun. When the wind died down, she started to fall asleep.

She drifted off until…

“Wen Ruoshui, it's really you!”

An angry voice echoed in the air, causing sparks to fly. It scared her so much that she opened her eyes immediately. The lazy girl, who was like a cat, instantly became aggressive and her eyes shone coldly.

Opposite her, a woman wearing a green military coat and a pair of good-looking military boots stopped Nun Jingxin and slapped her face without saying anything.
