I returned home.
In the living room, there was someone sitting.
I turned on the light and saw Lu Yu sitting on the sofa.
"You finally came back," Lu Yu said, looking at me calmly.
"What... are you doing here?" I asked, surprised to see Lu Yu.
"I've been looking for you for a long time," he replied.
He stood up and walked over to me.
He knelt down in front of me and took my hand.
"Song Yao, I won't let you get hurt again."
I looked at Lu Yu's face, feeling his determination and possessiveness.
I knew I had never loved him.
But his obsession with me made me feel somewhat dependent.
"Song Yao, I love you," Lu Yu said softly, looking into my eyes.
"I can give you real love, real protection."
I gazed at him, feeling confused.
I didn't know if I could accept his feelings.
Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.
I stood up and looked through the peephole, seeing a familiar figure.
It was Ning Jing.
He looked a bit tired, but his gaze was exceptionally firm.
Why was he here?
I felt a bit anxious.
I opened the door and looked at Ning Jing.
"You... what are you doing here?" I asked, feeling flustered.
"I came to find you."
Ning Jing looked at me, his tone firm.
"Find me?"
I was taken aback.
Ning Jing stared at me, silent for a moment before speaking again.
"Song Yao, I don't want to avoid my feelings any longer."
I gazed blankly at Ning Jing, unsure of what to say.
Ning Jing... Is he confessing to me?
Ning Jing continued, "Song Yao, I know you are suffering just like I am."
"There are too many misunderstandings and barriers between us."
"But I want to tell you that in my heart, there has only ever been you."
As Ning Jing spoke, his voice trembled slightly.
A look of pain crossed his face.
"I have always been afraid to face my feelings because I feared losing again."
"But now I understand that if I don't fight for it, I will truly lose."
Ning Jing looked at me with burning eyes.
"Song Yao, let's stop tormenting each other, okay?"
"Let's give our marriage another chance, shall we?"
There was a hint of pleading in Ning Jing's tone.
I looked at him, my heart filled with mixed emotions.
I had never seen Ning Jing like this before.
He had always been indifferent and proud in front of me.
But now, he had set aside his dignity and was asking me to reconcile.
I knew he must have gone through intense struggles within himself.
Every word he said came from the heart.
He was right; there were indeed too many misunderstandings between us.
We had been tormenting and hurting each other.
Yet, we were also deeply in love.
If we could let go of the shadows of the past, if we could accept each other again...
Perhaps our future will be different. I am deeply conflicted inside. Ning Jing's confession has given me hope. But I cannot forgive him so easily. I need to confirm whether he truly has only me in his heart.
"Ning Jing, I... need to think," I said softly as I looked at him. Ning Jing nodded. "Okay, I'll wait for you." Then he left.
I closed the door and leaned against it, unable to calm my emotions. At that moment, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be another person in the living room. I turned my head and saw Lu Yu standing in the corner of the room. He was looking at me with a complex expression. There was an invisible sense of pressure on his face.
"Song Yao, have you made up your mind?" Lu Yu asked in a low tone as he gazed at me. I felt a bit scared. I knew that Lu Yu's obsession with me had reached an unbreakable point. If I chose Ning Jing, then what would happen to him... I couldn't bear to imagine.
I stood at the door, looking at the two people before me. I knew that my choice now would determine my future.
