Chapter 404 - Unfair to One of Them (1/2)
Jing Yi hurriedly averted his gaze but he didn't need to say it anyway. It was way too obvious that he really hadn't thought of Qiu Ling.
”How … How come? You were so much in love with him before …” Leng Jin Yu froze. There was only one possible explanation for this. ”You saw part of your past life and got so involved in it that you forgot about him. And you probably … fell in love?”
”I …” Jing Yi turned back to the window and looked at that corridor leading across the lake again. ”It's true. I saw him.”
Even now that Yu Jin had reminded him of Qiu Ling he still felt that it was natural. Tian was his fiance, he was the person he had sworn to stay true to for his whole life, no, for all his lives. Who else should he think of?
Seeing Jing Yi's tangled expression Leng Jin Yu really didn't know what to do. How come just remembering parts of his past life had led to such a situation? ”That was your past life. Qiu Ling is your fiance now and he's still waiting for you out there.” Leng Jin Yu stepped forward and leaned against the wall next to Jing Yi. ”Don't you miss him?”
Jing Yi looked away. Regarding Qiu Ling … He felt a pang in his heart thinking of him. He had also promised to stay with him but … How could he do so? There was still Tian waiting for him somewhere.
”You don't love him anymore?”
”I … I shouldn't have fallen in love with him in the first place. It's my fault.” Yes, how could he have fallen in love so casually? And even promise to marry that person? What would Tian say if he knew?
”But you did and your past life is long over anyway. Why shouldn't you be happy with Qiu Ling now?”
”Senior Martial Brother Yu.” Jing Yi smiled at him. ”You of all people should understand, shouldn't you? Don't you also want to find that person from your past life? How is that different?”
Leng Jin Yu rubbed his brow. Why did it seem as if the things he had said before would now come back to bite him? ”Junior Martial Brother Zhong, what are you talking about? I never was in a relationship my whole life. This person from my past life … maybe it was predestined to meet again. But you already have Senior Martial Brother Qiu. Do you want to throw those feelings away?”
”You think it was predestined for you to be with that person again. But who says that it wasn't predestined for me to meet Tian again? Didn't I find that Fractured Crystal Leaf here even though it is so rare? And I acquired so many memories that had to do with Tian. This has to mean something!
”Yes, sure, to Qiu Ling this isn't fair but … What am I supposed to do? Can I really just ignore the promise I made to Tian? Can I just pretend that this past life of mine didn't happen? Then that wouldn't be fair to him! Whatever I do I would disappoint one of them.
