Stealing the moonlight into my arms

Chapter 173 I Don’t Have to Be Responsible for Him

I envy him...

Fu Runing heard that the man's tone was very calm. When he mentioned Xiaoting now, he was much more frank than before.

But this is not a good sign.

This proves that his consciousness of belonging to Xiao Jingting is becoming weaker.

Perhaps Xiaoting's goal is being achieved step by step.

Fu Runing was very conflicted. She suddenly said, "Xiao Jingting."

She called his name.

Xiao Jingting raised his eyes and looked at her.

"how?"

Fu Runing looked him in the eyes seriously and said, "Everyone has his or her own way of living. You don't need to envy anyone. You are you. You have your past and your future. No one can replace you."

Her voice was soft and gentle, but it seemed to have some kind of power, nourishing the barren land bit by bit.

There was a glimmer in Xiao Jingting's eyes, and he lowered his eyelids to hide those emotions.

He knew that Fu Runing was like this to everyone, even to him, her ex-husband, she would show such kindness, it was her nature.

Since she said she would get along well with him, she would not say bad things to him.

She is good in every way except that she doesn't love him.

But that wasn't her problem.

He is not worthy.

Fu Runing saw that he was lost in thought and didn't know what he was thinking about.

She raised her voice slightly and said in an exaggerated tone, "You have many excellent qualities, don't you know?"

"Before you came to my house, Zhou Yixing and I had poor grades, but it didn't affect our fun. But after you came, whenever we walked around this area, we'd always hear stories about your achievements. People said you were a top student, that you were gifted. We've lived in your shadow for so many dark days..."

"And when you were in school, those piles of love letters were stuffed into your desk. Are all the girls blind? You must be outstanding, so others like you. Besides, girls of sixteen or seventeen are the most sincere in their feelings. If they like someone, it's just love, without any other thoughts mixed in."

Fu Runing tapped his shoulder lightly and continued, "So Xiao Jingting, don't deny yourself. When I say you're not good at this or that, that's just my stance."

Xiao Jingting lowered his eyes and looked at the white finger that rested on his shoulder. He wanted to reach out and hold it.

But as soon as he raised his hand, Fu Runing withdrew it.

He looked at his empty palms and slowly lowered his hands.

Fu Runing felt that he had said everything he needed to say, and the rest was up to him to figure out on his own.

She turned to leave.

But the next moment, the man reached out and grabbed her wrist.

She heard the man's low voice ringing in the silent room -

"Will we have a future?"

These words are like drizzle falling into a mirror-like lake, creating ripples without wind.

Fu Runing looked down at him, taking in the complexity and cowardice beneath his forced calmness.

She calmly withdrew her hand.

"Aren't we doing well now?"

Fu Runing was also timid. After experiencing a failed marriage, her self-confidence and enthusiasm were hit.

Love is a complicated thing, and marriage is even more so.

Xiao Jingting listened to her words. This seemed to be the answer he expected, and he didn't feel lost.

He thought of something, and then spoke lightly -

"But you didn't reject him."

Xiao Jingting also wondered if 'he' had forced himself on Fu Runing, but judging by their interactions today, he felt that it was not the case.

Hearing this, Fu Runing looked at him leisurely, also feeling puzzled. If it were in the past, Xiao Jingting would have kept his mouth shut and not said a second word after hearing such words that hurt his self-esteem.

It seems like there was some progress today.

She smiled, and there was a sense of relaxed joy on her bright and beautiful face.

"I'm not responsible for him, so why should I refuse?"

After saying that, Fu Runing gave him a meaningful look and turned away.

She waved to him before closing the door.

Xiao Jingting listened to the sound of the door closing and chuckled to himself.

No need to be responsible.

The way she said this sounded like a scumbag girl from Aquaman.
