"You say your family cares for you and dotes on you. Can you bear to make them sad?"
Lu Youyou felt the weight of the atmosphere and couldn't help but grow serious, absorbing Xu Lie's words deeply.
Indeed, if she were truly seen as Xu Lie's accomplice, would she end up in prison? Her parents and sister would surely be heartbroken, perhaps even her mother and sister would cry. How would her family face their relatives? Would the neighbors say hurtful things? Her parents' careers and her sister's studies would be greatly affected.
The more she followed Xu Lie's logic, the more terrified Lu Youyou became.
"Do you understand?" Xu Lie's serious expression softened somewhat, his tone becoming gentler. "Don't let your own issues harm your family. They are the ones who care about you the most in this world."
Tears welled up; Xu Lie was truly thinking of Lu Youyou.
But what about Xu Lie? His identity as a bomber was about to be uncovered—would he have to endure a difficult escape next?
"I think Xu Lie is right. We can't drag our families down with us. I can't say for everyone, but most families care for their children."
Faced with such sound reasoning from Xu Lie, Lu Youyou had no way to refute him. She could only lower her head in dejection. "I... I understand."
Xu Lie felt a bit relieved but still reached out to pat Lu Youyou's shoulder. "Then remember to think about how much your family cares for you."
As Xu Lie withdrew his arm and prepared to leave, he suddenly paused. The hem of his shirt was caught by Lu Youyou.
Without speaking, he turned his head slightly, silently asking what she meant.
Lu Youyou gazed at Xu Lie's retreating figure, a surge of intense reluctance washing over her. She felt that if she let him leave like this, she would regret it deeply.
She had to do something—she needed to act. Before she could fully think it through or decide what to do, Lu Youyou had already reached out and grabbed the corner of Xu Lie's shirt.
Her voice was much softer now as her eyes sparkled with hope. "Can you... can you stay and eat something with me?"
Still eating? Hadn't they just finished a big meal? Was she hungry again? How many stomachs did she have to be this bold?
Lu Youyou's eyes revealed a hint of pleading: Didn't you say that no one had accompanied you for a meal in a long time?
I thought to myself, this might be the last time. At least, let me accompany you for just a little longer, to share a meal together.
Clearly, I had promised that I would eat with you from now on. Although you never agreed, still...
Lu Youyou's gaze stirred something deep within Xu Lie, like a deer caught in a hunter's trap—nimble yet sorrowful, with an underlying plea.
Are you really that much of a glutton? The joke lingered on the tip of his tongue but never escaped.
He chuckled softly, estimating that there was still enough time; the Special Investigation Team wouldn't arrive so quickly. I knew you were just a little food lover, thinking about what to eat next after finishing this.
What do you want to eat? I'll accompany you.
Lu Youyou seemed to have forgotten all her previous worries and troubles, her pretty face once again glowing with a radiant smile. "Follow me! I know a great place!"
