The River Gods Bridegroom

I am such an unfortunate fool.

I never in a million years expected that such a small misunderstanding would cause my relationship with Xie Yu to fall apart.

I cast a pleading look at Rong Si: 「Big brother, can I secretly tell Xie Yu that I went to get reinforcements?」

Rong Si: 「Sure, you can.」

I was overjoyed.

Rong Si: 「As long as you aren’t afraid that when the heavenly tribulation lightning strikes, it will strike your little lover down along with you.

「With your current state, you won’t be able to withstand that kind of heavenly lightning at all.」

Xie Yu’s voice grew faint: 「You should leave.」

For the first time, I felt as if tiny insects were crawling over my heart, gnawing at my flesh and blood, sucking away my soul.

I said blankly: 「But I came back…

「I still came back to find you…」

Before walking away, Xie Yu paused for a long moment.

In the end, still with his back to me, he said: 「But I’m not a dog that comes when called and leaves when waved away.」

「Ze Quan, what I care about is that when I needed you most, your choice wasn’t me.

「Go, Ze Quan.」
