Bei Lingfeng didn't respond, but simply stared fixedly into Hua Yunliang's eyes, unmoving!
And so, the air weirdly congealed into an awkward silence for tens of seconds, and neither of them spoke. It was then that Hua Yunliang realized he might have guessed wrong, and while he found it unbelievable, he could only turn his head to look elsewhere.
His tongue nearly reflexively swept across his upper palate, a sensation like electricity spreading to the depths of his heart, making him tremble.
"Yunliang..." It was at that moment Bei Lingfeng suddenly said, "The matters of the past are just that, past, and there's no need to bring them up again, for the current me no longer thinks about them! She has her own life, and I have my own path to walk. The effort that was once put in was never just by me alone. And as you know, I'm not one to fuss over the amount given or received in life. Life's trajectory is always forward, never backward!"
