Chapter 317 – Understanding And Reasonable (2/2)

“I remember.”

“It was during that time that I met a woman. I originally thought I would never see her again but never did I imagine…”

“You didn’t imagine meeting her in the Immortal World again, right?” Ai Er raised her head and gave a gentle look towards Lei Yu.

“I’m sorry; there are times where I can’t avoid the situation so I wanted to tell you everything upfront. Never would I have imagined that those in the past would become reality. She waited for me for a thousand years…”

Ai Er didn’t say anything and Lei Yu didn’t know what else he should say. The two them sat there silently, and the only sounds heard was the cries of the surrounding insects.

After a while, Ai Er was the first to say: “I think you cannot let her down. I have never experienced a thousand years of suffering but I do know how painful it is to be separated from the one you love. Back then when you went to the Kou country, I didn’t follow you so you should know how much I missed you. And when you went to the United States, I couldn’t deal with the pain of separation anymore, that’s why I packed my bags to go look for you. Then these series of event happened which made me think that I should just die because I didn’t want you to face all these dangers for the sake of me.”

“You’re not allowed to say those things! I had a tough time traversing from the Mortal World to here just so that you’d be safe. And now everything at this point was all worth it.” Even though Lei Yu had expended a lot for the sake of Ai Er, five years ago she had stood out and blocked a strike by the Void Immortal that was meant for him. No matter what grievances Lei Yu had in his heart, he was not going to allow anymore harm to happen to his woman!

“Brother Yu, agree to her since I believe she’s in a lot of pain as well. And you happened to have disappeared for five years now, so I believe she has been suffering quite a bit.” Ai Er’s small hand gently clutched onto Lei Yu’s arm.

“Thank you!”

“Why are you thanking me? The man I love has other women loving him as well, that means you are exceptional. But…”

“But what?” Lei Yu turned to look at Ai Er.

“What do you plan on doing with Ying Ying and Nami? They both love you a lot. I know that in the Kou country, you worked well together with Ying Ying as if your minds were in-sync, and there’s also that incident with Nami!” Ai Er pretended to unhappy and pouted, looking like she was half angry and half spoiled.

“This…” For a second, Lei Yu didn’t know how to respond since he didn’t know how to deal with those two. Although those two were important people to him during his long journey, Lei Yu wasn’t sure what positions they had in his heart.

Friends? That wasn’t realistic since just recalling that time when he was alone with Ying Ying made Lei Yu’s face turn red. She even threw away all her bad habits just to change for him.

As for Nami… she had intentions to harm him back then but it was all for the sake of her grandmother. For a person to have such filial piety, they would not have a malicious heart. She also promptly stopped her errors and even took the poison because of him. Lei Yu couldn’t forget all those things, especially the scene at the hospital where Nami had technically saved him albeit in an indirect way.

“If we have an opportunity to see them again, have them accompany you. I believe no matter what position you give them, they wouldn’t decline because when facing someone they truly love, there’s no reason they would reject them.”

Lei Yu felt a bit awkward but still nodded.
