As soon as Lu Cheng left, Meng Yun seemed to have lost all his strength, slumped on the sofa, and buried his face deep in the palm of his hand.

What he just said was a half-truth, and it wasn't a joke as he said. A lot of it is true.

Why didn't you hold back?

He asked himself.

Maybe it was because his mood fluctuated too much when he saw her this time, or maybe it was because he had been silent for too long and wanted to find someone to talk to, he almost had to tell him about the matter between him and Su Ran.

Fortunately, he still retained the last bit of sanity and didn't make the situation out of control.

He didn't dare to tell Lu Cheng, not because he didn't trust him. After all, they had known each other for so many years, and he knew very well what kind of person Lu Cheng was.

Lu Cheng is very smart, but he has a good family, he has been smooth sailing since he was a child, and he grew up in a loving environment, he has not encountered any setbacks, and his social experience is still shallow. And his personality is upright and impulsive, and he is easy to be used by others.

If he had known about those things, he might have done something irreparable on impulse and would have led to some serious consequences.

So in the end, he fooled it out on the grounds that he was joking.

The matter between him and Su Ran is actually not as complicated as Lu Cheng's brain, but it is not that simple.

His family had brought great harm to Su Ran, so much so that until now, neither he nor Su Ran could forget those sad things.

Even if you forgive and let go, it doesn't mean that the hurt doesn't exist.

The scars left behind still lay among them, reminding them from moment to moment, and becoming a lingering shadow between them.

He still can't forget that three years ago, her sad and desperate eyes, that look was deeply in his mind, a nightmare he couldn't escape.

And at that time, he couldn't do anything, and even, when she was at her worst, he couldn't be by her side.

He was so remorseful that he chose to leave and give each other three years.

He had to wait, until he was able enough, until she opened up again. He could afford to wait.

After being together for so long, he believed that she loved him as much as he loved her, and waiting was something they had to give.

That's what he had in mind.

However, waiting without hope has proven to be the hardest thing to endure.

In the first year of his absence, his self-confidence began to waver. He couldn't help but wonder: what if she fell in love with someone else? What if she still can't let it go?

What if she doesn't want to accept him anymore?

Hesitant, anxious, and overwhelmed, he finally made up his mind after countless struggles.

In any case, he had to fight for another chance to be by her side.

If she had someone else in her heart at that time, then he would silently guard her and watch her be happy. If she still loves him, he is willing to spend his life in exchange for a chance to stay together.
