Chapter 354: A Far-fetched Explanation 12

After that, I cried until I was exhausted, leaning weakly in Shangguan Yun's embrace.

I realized I was good-for-nothing; Shangguan Yun, obviously he had done something wrong to me, yet I kept making excuses to believe him, but I simply couldn't find any excuse to believe him.

Leaning in Shangguan Yun's embrace, I silently sobbed, my cries growing fainter and fainter...

"Xuanxuan, don't be like this, please don't be like this, okay? You're making me feel terrible; I... I really didn't do anything to let you down. Although I know my reasons are far-fetched, you... you should know I'm the kind of person who dares to act and own up to it. Xuanxuan... I, we will be fine, we will return to how we were before; actually, there's really nothing between us. Believe me, believe me, okay? I still love you as before, deeply love you; you, in my heart, have become deeply rooted and cannot be uprooted, you know that? I won't leave you; perhaps this is heaven testing our feelings at the start. Believe me, believe me, okay?" Shangguan Yun said with a choking voice, speaking very deeply and sincerely.

But I said nothing, merely leaning weakly in his embrace, quietly listening to his heartfelt words, yet I didn't know whether I should believe him—could this really be heaven testing our feelings?

"I'm exhausted, exhausted; let me rest a moment, let me sleep." I said softly, closing my eyes.

I realized I had no strength left in my body, not even the strength to speak; I was utterly exhausted...

"Lie in my arms and sleep well; when you wake up, everything will be fine." Shangguan Yun gently kissed away the tears on my face, speaking deeply and sincerely. I didn't open my eyes; my head throbbed painfully, as if it were about to split open.

"Let me sleep; I'm utterly exhausted, mentally and physically drained." I said weakly, lying in Shangguan Yun's arms.

Even though I felt exhausted, utterly exhausted, I still couldn't sleep while lying in Shangguan Yun's embrace—not a wink.

So I opened my eyes again; as soon as I did, Shangguan Yun's deep gaze was fixed on me, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

"I can't sleep; I want to go home." I said softly.
