Chapter 359 A sudden confession
Chapter 359 A sudden confession
Tears glistened in Shen Li's eyes, and guilt surged in her heart like a tide. Her lips trembled slightly, and she spoke to Luo Lingchen with a choked voice, "I'm sorry! It's me who brought you here, and made you leave your once happy life..."
Luo Lingchen's eyes were filled with tenderness and tolerance, and he softly comforted her, "It's okay. I don't deny that for a long time, I was completely repulsed by this strange world.
Here, power struggles and bloody slaughter are everywhere. It's completely different from the peaceful and tranquil life I once lived in. He paused, a bitter smile playing on his face. He continued, "I just didn't expect that after all these twists and turns, I would end up so caught up in it, becoming a part of this complex situation."
He slowly raised his eyes, gazing deeply at Shen Li. There seemed to be stars twinkling in his eyes, as if hiding endless attachment. He said softly: "Shen Li, do you know? In my original world, I had a happy and complete family. My parents loved me, my sister was well-behaved and cute, my studies were smooth sailing, and my career was thriving. At that time, I often felt that I might be the happiest person in the world, possessing everything ordinary and precious."
When Shen Li heard this, her body trembled slightly, as if she was touched by the emotions in Luo Lingchen's words. Tears kept rolling in her eyes, almost bursting out.
Shen Shaodong watched from the side, feeling sorry for his daughter as her mood was being tossed around by this kid's words. He suddenly felt unhappy and frowned as he said, "What do you mean by this now? Now that you've all been resurrected in this other world, are you going to let my daughter pay with her life for what happened back then?"
Luo Lingchen was left in a state of confusion by this sudden questioning. He quickly waved his hands and explained, "Uncle, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that at all! I, I just..."
He paused slightly, as if mustering up great courage, a blush on his face, and said, "I just found that I like A-Li a little! Maybe you find it hard to believe, but this is my true words. I swear, I really like her.
I feel that in this alien world, only A-Li can bring me warmth. After that brief encounter, she made me decide to seize power and take control of my own destiny!
Shen Li seemed to be dazed by this sudden confession. Her head was foggy and she opened her mouth, unable to speak for a while. After a long time, she stammered, "This, this is too sudden. Besides, we haven't met many times in total. How could it be..."
Luo Lingchen looked at Shen Li's innocent and cute appearance, his heart filled with pity. He couldn't help but take a few steps closer and stood in front of Shen Li. With a hint of pity in his eyes, he said, "I know you are still young, and I don't think about it now. I just want to say that I fell in love with you at first sight. When you consider getting married in the future, can you consider me as an option? Can you consider me?"
Shen Li's eyes widened, obviously shocked by the straightforward words. Not to mention that she didn't understand the thoughts behind Luo Lingchen's words, even Shen Shaodong was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment, and just looked at Luo Lingchen in surprise.
After a moment, Shen Shaodong came back to his senses, cleared his throat, and regained a bit of seriousness. He looked at Luo Lingchen and asked, "You have to give a reason. How can anyone be convinced if you say these words so abruptly?"
Luo Lingchen seemed a little embarrassed, lowering his head slightly, his face flushing even more, and his voice unconsciously becoming softer as he whispered, "A few years ago, when Shen Li was eight years old, I fell into an extremely dark time, filled with despair, and felt that life was hopeless.
And it was at that time that Shen Li saved me. Since then, her figure has been imprinted in my heart and I have never forgotten her.
Later, when I learned that she had traveled through time like me, I felt even more that this was God's arrangement and a unique fate between us."
As if afraid of being rejected by the father and daughter, he looked straight at Shen Shaodong with earnestness and expectation in his eyes. His voice trembled slightly as he cried out with a hint of pleading, "Uncle, I really like A-Li. Please promise me, okay? I swear to you here, no matter what, I will never be like the other people in this world, indulging in a life of three wives and four concubines."
After saying this, his eyes turned gentle as water, filled with deep affection and attachment. He looked at Shen Li, who was still a little dazed at the moment, with lingering affection, grabbed her hands, and said in a firm and affectionate tone: "In my heart, in this life, having Ah Li is enough. I will do my best to love her, protect her, and not let her suffer the slightest harm."
