Chapter 801: Please Listen To My Repentance (1/2)

Tears began to well up in Xu Xiaoyan's eyes before flowing uncontrollably down her cheeks.

”I always denounce you for being too proud, for being high and mighty, but I'm just as arrogant. You're right, I feel very inferior next to you. We come from such vastly different backgrounds, and you're so exceptional that it's easy for you to attract other women. I was afraid that you'd slowly love me less and less. On that day, when you made that confession to me during the Sea G.o.d Fate Match-making Convention, I felt like I was being spoken to like an accessory, and I hated that feeling. You ignored me for half a year, but did you know that I regretted what I did as soon as I left the match-making convention? I didn't regret rejecting you, but I shouldn't have embarra.s.sed you in front of all of those people. However, I regret everything now, even my rejection. I shouldn't have rejected you because of my insecurities. I'm sorry, Zhengyu, I was too petty, and I'm sorry for hurting you, so can you please wake up? I'll never be so willful and self-centered ever again,” Xu Xiaoyan sobbed as she gently stroked Yue Zhengyu's forehead.

”That won't do; I like it when you're willful and self-centered. I like you just the way you are.” A gentle voice sounded, and Yue Zhengyu slowly opened his eyes.

Xu Xiaoyan was given a fright and immediately tried to withdraw her hand, but Yue Zhengyu grabbed onto her wrist.

”Don't go; don't leave me. I've had enough of being separated from you during the past six months.”

A faint blush appeared on Xu Xiaoyan's face as she asked, ”Wh, when did you wake up?”

Yue Zhengyu smiled in response. ”Right when you began talking.”

”You...” Xu Xiaoyan's blush deepened even further, and she really wanted to run away, but Yue Zhengyu refused to let her go.

”Can you listen to me repent now?” Yue Zhengyu asked in a gentle voice.

Xu Xiaoyan faltered slightly before raising her head to look at him.

Yue Zhengyu looked straight into her eyes, and said, ”I'm sorry, Xiaoyan; it's all my fault. You're right; I'm too arrogant and conceited. I've been this way ever since I was a child, and in all honesty, this is a problem among all of my family members. My pride blinded me from your feelings, and I was too insensitive during the Sea G.o.d Fate Match-making Convention. All I was thinking at the time was that I wanted you to officially become my girlfriend in front of all of those people, but in doing so, I neglected to consider your feelings. However, I have to tell you that I don't love you out of pity, and nor have I ever looked down on your background and upbringing. I'm sorry; this is a genuine apology from me. I promise you that I'll do my best to change for you. I'm going to respect you more, and I'm going to love you and cherish you. Can you please forgive me?”

Xu Xiaoyan stared blankly at him for a long while before finally murmuring, ”Idiot.”

Yue Zhengyu sat up on the bed. After waking up, he was still feeling a little feeble, but aside from that, he was basically fully recovered.

”You're right, I'm an idiot. Even earlier today, I was still angry at you, I was still unable to control my laughable pride. When I saw you trapped inside that Evil Soul Master's soul skill and on the brink of death, I felt like I was the dumbest person in the world. If you died back then, I would've followed you to the other side. Trust me, I would've fought that Evil Soul Master with everything I had, and he would've killed me as well.”

Xu Xiaoyan lowered her head. ”How could I not trust you? You already used Sacrifice for my sake and burned through your life force.”

Yue Zhengyu was slightly taken aback to hear this. ”You found out about that?”

Xu Xiaoyan nodded. ”You never told me you had such an ability.”

Yue Zhengyu smiled in response. ”Where do you think the pride of my clan comes from? It's not from our regal bloodline; instead, it's from our sacrificial spirit. For the sake of my friends, I can lay down my life at a moment's notice. This is why members of our Holy Angel clan will never tell their friends that we have such an ability. We'll only use the ability when our friends are in grave danger, and we'll protect them even it means burning away all of our life force.”

Xu Xiaoyan abruptly raised her head and dove into Yue Zhengyu's arms as she sobbed, ”10 years! That's 10 years of your lifespan, gone in an instant! You...”

Yue Zhengyu held her in his arms and smiled as he said, ”10 years of my lifespan is nothing compared to you. If you can return to my side, I'll be happy for the rest of my life, even if it ends up being 10 years shorter. My days without you are filled with darkness; you're not going to leave me again, are you?”

Xu Xiaoyan murmured, ”I was yours from the moment you used your Sacrifice for me. No matter how you treat me in the future, no matter whether you remain proud, no matter how inferior I feel, I won't leave you ever again. You saved my life, and I'm going to spend the rest of it with you.”

The best thing about youth was the brilliant recovery speed that came with it, and after a good night's rest, everyone was already completely reinvigorated, with the exception of Yue Zhengyu, who was still a little pale.
