Chapter 35: [Heart to Heart]

  "Carry me on your back if you don't mind, but are you sure you want me to do that? Aren't you afraid of those people at school..."

  "Whoever dares to speak nonsense, I'll cut off his tongue, I don't care. Today you can't get rid of me." As soon as the words fell, I ordered him, "Help me bring over my uniform."

  He remained unmoved, but his eyes seemed a little more somber as he looked at me.

  I was furious, "What are you still standing there for? Go!"

  He was completely furious at my loud shout, but still didn't listen to me, and instead sat down beside me in a different posture.

  "Darling, I told you before, we will live a happy life forever, but without freedom, where is the happiness..."

  "Since I promised to bring you happiness, even if all the conditions set by your father have to be borne by me alone, I am a man. If everything is led by the nose, then it's better for you to choose one of those younger disciples from the sect." After finishing speaking, he pursed his lips and sat aside, his handsome face filled with extreme tolerance and gloominess.

  I looked at him and suddenly felt like I was really going to die.

  "If everything is led by the nose, then you might as well go and choose one of those little junior brothers from the gang", but how could he say such a thing, am I not worried about him too! How could he say something that hurts me like this?!

  Suddenly, tears flowed uncontrollably, and it felt terrible inside.

  "Sorry, I take back what I just said." He turned me over, his eyes filled with emotion. "You know that I care about you and I'm really afraid of losing you one day. Don't cry, get up and put on your clothes, I'll carry you there." After saying this, he got up to help me fetch my uniform.

  I sat on the bed, looking at his back, and the discomfort in my heart settled instantly.

  I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I promised you before that I would behave and study hard without interfering with your affairs.
