Chapter 1026: Riding the Wind Asking the Moon, Desire, and Reason (111)

“As long as we don’t go beyond the bottom line, no matter how we expose ourselves in front of the Zuo family, at least this will be a past that can be forgotten easily. It won’t leave any traces on you that shouldn’t be there. This is the only thing I can do to protect you.”

Xu Chengfeng’s attitude was calm, but his calmness made Zuo Yue’s heart burn with rage. She stood up abruptly.

Xu Chengfeng reached out to help her up so that she wouldn’t get hurt from standing up too quickly. After all, she had been shot before.

However, Zuo Yue raised her hand and pushed his hand away.

“What is love? Uncle, tell me! Xu Chengfeng, tell me! You’re holding back every day and every step! You gave me hope while letting me see the despair of the future. Is this the protection you give me?”

Zuo Yue’s eyes were red. Didn’t you want me? You know what the answer is in your heart!”

“Zuo Yue, I don’t want to quarrel with you. From the beginning to the end, I never intended to escape this responsibility. If you want, I will always be by your side, but I will not go beyond my limits.”

“What is the bottom line? Get in bed?” Zuo Yue suddenly asked loudly.

Xu Chengfeng’s face darkened. He frowned slightly because of her undisguised and mocking smile. He looked at her with a warning gaze.”Can you be more rational?”

Zuo Yue smiled. Do you know what I will do once I come to my senses?”

Seeing Zuo Yue’s current emotions, Xu Chengfeng reached out and was about to pull her into his arms when Zuo Yue suddenly raised her hand and pushed him away. At the same time, she took a step back.

“You want to quarrel with me?” Xu Chengfeng frowned.”

“I don’t want to.” Zuo Yue shook her head.” The moment my mother appeared, I knew that the time I spent with you was like walking on thin ice. When you had no choice but to lie because of me, I suddenly felt that I was a sinner. In the past, perhaps I just thought that it was good to be with you. As long as we could fall in love, no matter what the outcome was, even if it was a grand start, even if the ending was not what I wanted, I was willing.”

“But I’ve been holding back all this time for the sake of leaving me a way out. Shouldn’t a relationship be unreserved? But you kept your reservations. I finally knew why I couldn’t find a sense of security every day. It was because you used your rationality to slap my face and used the future you were thinking about to stop me from getting close to you.”

Zuo Yue’s smile grew wider as she spoke, but her eyes were still red.”Are you coaxing me? What I want is love, not your perfunctory coaxing to calm me down! I don’t want to drag you down! You lied for me!”

“But what exactly have I been holding in my hands for so many days? It’s actually your reserved heart, your rationality hanging above your emotions.”

“Xu Chengfeng, you’ve asked me time and time again if I know what love is. Do I know what love is? Do you understand? Have you ever loved? Do you know how I feel right now?
