Chapter 512: The Son has to Pay the Father’s Debt?! (2/2)
“This is the place where he confessed to me. At that time, I was number one on the Blossom Ranking. Your father used a sloppy excuse to invite me here, and then confessed to me hastily…”
Lost in memories, Luo Xi’s lips curved up into a sweet smile as if the scene she was describing had happened just yesterday.
“So I made a bet with him that as long as he could get first place in the competition between faculties, I would give him a chance. Later, this became a place that witnessed us becoming an item… That was the happiest time in my life. Longfei always found ways to make me happy and I often danced for him here…”
“Unfortunately, those good times didn’t last long. When we entered our fourth year, differences arose between us. I wanted to remain in Starnet and have a stable life, but he wanted to travel the world and enjoy the scenery of this continent.”
“In the end, he left, and I stayed. A cold war became a real separation. I don’t remember how I lived through that time, but since then, looking forward to his news every day had become a habit that I spent the most time on.”
“I have always naively thought that he’d come back as long as he has experienced enough of the outside world, so I have been waiting and never gone out to find him. But who could have thought that fate played such a joke? The wait lasted for several decades.”
Luo Xi laughed bitterly.
“Moreover, it ended not with his return, but the news of his death…”
Grief overtook her as she looked at Bai Xiaofei seriously with tears in her eyes.
“Say, am I very ridiculous, very pitiful?”
In the face of her sudden question, Bai Xiaofei was stunned before he fell into contemplation.
He didn’t have a rich romantic experience. At this point, his love life had been quite smooth and all the people he had met were bent on being nice to him. Therefore, he could only give an answer from objective analysis.
“I don’t have much experience, but I don’t think you are ridiculous or pitiful at all. From my personal point of view, I admire you very much!” This reply came from the bottom of his heart without any falsehood. As far as the stories he had heard were concerned, there weren’t many people willing to stick to their hearts like Luo Xi.
“You mean it?” asked Luo Xi as Bai Xiaofei’s words surprised her.
“Absolutely, and I think it’s my dad who owes you,” Bai Xiaofei confirmed and followed with something that touched the softest spot in her heart.
After waiting for so many years, wasn’t this what she waited for? Although it didn’t come from Bai Longfei, it seemed to Luo Xi that Bai Xiaofei represented his father when saying this.
“In this case, are you willing to repay this debt in his stead?”
Upon Luo Xi’s words, Bai Xiaofei was dumbstruck.
