Chapter 164 – From south to north, love remains
He Ju returned to the car, and Si Hua didn't press him about what they had discussed; she simply drove away.
Yet it was He Ju who, gazing at the snow-covered mountain and the Lungta fluttering in the wind, felt a fleeting nostalgia for the past.
A human life spans but a few decades.
The first decade is spent in ignorance, the second in awkwardness, and only in the third does one start to mature. By the time one reaches thirty, the term "steadfast" can be shouldered. The rest of life is a hustle for family and work, with few years truly lived for oneself. But He Ju had indeed lived for Su Ran for over a decade.
He had loved her deeply, so despite telling himself countless times not to be soft-hearted, to cut off the Su family's escape routes, in the end, he couldn't do it.
He still provided a way out for the Su family, and now he had relented to let them come and go as they pleased.
Because Su Ran had once been pure and kind. As a child, He Ju was a late bloomer and often bullied, but it was Su Ran who stood up for him. He still remembered that summer day filled with cicada songs, her crying as she hugged him: "Don't hit brother He Ju! I'll tell the teacher and have you all punished!"
As a result, Su Ran ended up bruised and swollen as well.
After that, she spent a long time lying in bed, refusing to go to school. He Ju would listen attentively in class and then rush to Su Ran after dinner to recount the lessons to her.@@novelbin@@
