His Secret

In the car, I was still ruminating on how Kana had completely lost her mind.

Curious, I asked him: “How did you know she couldn’t read minds anymore?”

Lu Xiao: “I guessed.”

“Also, before that, in order to find a way to deal with it, I went to find the person from the rumors about mind-reading. She told me not to worry and said that if that person didn’t truly love you, the mind-reading ability would definitely disappear.”

“When love turns sour, it loses the special privilege of mind-reading.”

I squeezed Lu Xiao’s fingers back. “That’s great.”

“Lu Xiao, you’re free.”

Lu Xiao looked down at me and said in a low voice: “Yeah, I’m free.”

“But if this freedom was truly bought with your life, do you think I could live with a clear conscience?”

“You wouldn’t.” I explained immediately, “I calculated it, and I ran many tests! I…”

He let go of my hand, pulled me close, and placed his hand behind my head.

A kiss fell softly.

His voice held a tremor of someone who had regained what they’d almost lost.

“Qi Mengmeng, I endured for so long.”

“It wasn’t so you could risk your life for me.”
