630 Problem Is The Solution (2/2)
Xiao Li pressed his lips together while nodding his head slowly, ”But isn't she already embarking on a journey of new love?” He took a pause before adding, ”Don't get so agitated.”
”How can I not?” Xiu was feeling exasperated. ”Even though Ying Jie is trying to step out of shadows of her old love, she still needs time to completely get over it.”
”I know she is strong. But do you plan on testing strength or are you trying to see how long would it take to break her apart?”
”I'd never want her to break. Never!” He closed his eyes to take a long breath before adding, ”And don't worry, Ying is not my best man. Although she whined a lot about it, I'd never ask her to play that role.”
Xiu suddenly didn't know what to say. If that was the case, why was she getting so worked up? Couldn't he say it earlier that Ying was not his best man? Why drag it for so long?!
Seeing her lips opening and closing, he shook his head before patting her head gently, ”I know you're heart is very pure. But you really need to stop bringing so much stress to yourself. The more you'll care about others, the more you'll find yourself drowning in an emotional whirlpool that'd be unhealthy and would eventually harm only you.”
Xiu was quiet in reply. He was about to leave when she spoke up again, ”Li bro, don't you regret it?” Xiao Li looked back at her with a raised brow as she continued, ”You've waited for years. And even though you finally got your love, is it worth it?”
”Are you expecting me to say that love is worth it all?” he retorted calmly.
”I honestly don't. I might look like a lovesick fool but trust me, I know that there is more to life than just love. And if a person makes love as the driving force, it consumes everything else in our life... Along with our life as well.” Xiu's eyes lost the usual playfulness as she met his gaze unfazed. ”So, for me, love is not really worth it.”
Xiao Li's pupils shook a little as he tried to see through her. He wished to see the person hidden behind this smiling facade and he wanted to shook that real persona to know why it seemed so lonely? And why did it seem so cold?
But he couldn't do it. He couldn't even bring himself to ask her. Somehow, he felt like he won't like the answer. So, he sighed out, ”Whether it's worth it or not, who cares? We have come too far now.”
Xiu's pupils dilated, ”Li bro, is it because you've come too far that you can't find a way back now?” He stayed quiet in reply. ”Now I'm wondering whether this love has become your obsession or stubbornness.” She looked at his expressions as she went on, ”So, Li bro, are you marrying because of this obsession or stubbornness?”
He smiled bitterly as he answered, ”There is an old saying... 'If you can't find the solution to the problem, make that problem your solution then.'” With that, he left her alone frowning by herself.
