"No, that's not it. I'm not doubting you, Senior Sister..."
Pei Yuhang denied it instinctively, then added softly, "You're overthinking it, Senior Sister."
Lu Ruoxi looked at Pei Yuhang, a bitter wind stirring in her Heart Lake.
"Junior Brother."
She let out a soft sigh, her slender fingers secretly clenching within her sleeve.
"I've really changed now... I made mistakes in the past. I'm not asking for your forgiveness, and I've never presumed to hope for it."
At this, Lu Ruoxi's eyes began to redden, but she stubbornly turned her head away, not wanting him to see her lose her composure.
A gust of wind blew past, disheveling the bangs on Lu Ruoxi's forehead.
She lifted a hand to tuck the strands behind her ear, a gesture that allowed her to conceal her momentary vulnerability.
"Senior Sister, please don't say any more. There's no need to bring up the past."
