Tang Zhenhua was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
Ying Luohongâs eyes turned red again. âIf I knowingly let you jump when itâs dangerous, the crack between us wonât heal; itâll only get worse. Would I still love you then? When you were about to jump without hesitation, I had already forgiven you. The crack in my heart, overwhelmed by love, has healed uncontrollably. I wonât ask anymore. Whatever happened back then, all these years, you havenât left me for a moment, not even stepping out of Shrek City. Iâve figured it out. I donât want to live a painful and lonely life anymore. I want to be back with you and never be apart again.â
Tang Zhenhuaâs eyes also welled up with tears. It was only at this moment that he could be completely sure â his beloved had returned. Truly returned.
He tightly embraced Ying Luohong again. âHonghong, I⦠â
Ying Luohong also wrapped her arms around his waist. She whispered, âBut I have a request. No matter what happens in the future, youâre not allowed to have any thoughts about her. Can you promise me?â
âOf course, of course. I didnât have any thoughts about her to begin with. Moreover, I canât possibly see her again. I donât even know where she went. After that incident, I cut off all contact with her. Frankly, I hold a grudge against her. However, over the years, that resentment has faded. Even if I were to meet her again, Iâd treat her as a stranger. Is that okay?â
âYouâve passed.â Ying Luohong sighed lightly.
âWhatâs wrong?â Tang Zhenhua asked with confusion.
Ying Luohong looked at him with a complicated expression and said, âActually, we had some contact over these years.â
Tang Zhenhua was taken aback. âYouâre still in contact with her? Donât you hate her?â
Ying Luohong gritted her teeth. âHow could I not hate her? She was my best friend, yet she tried to take away my man. I almost hated her to death. But, as you said, many years have passed, and the hatred has faded. We only communicated a few times. She told me a lot. She said she wanted to be with you, not just because she truly loves you, but also to repay a debt. You saved her parentsâ lives. She said she had nothing else to give you, so she gave herself to you, vowing to be with only you for a lifetime.â
Tang Zhenhuaâs expression suddenly became awkward. He smiled wryly, saying, âShe wanted to give, but she never asked me if I wanted it! She⦠well, letâs not talk about it.â
Ying Luohong hummed, âIâm more certain of my guess now. With our great relationship back then, if she didnât use some means, she wouldnât have had a chance, right? Her personality is a bit stubborn. Since you agreed to my request just now, thereâs something I have to tell you. Originally, I never planned to tell you in this lifetime.â
âWhat is it?â Tang Zhenhua was stunned.
Looking at him, Ying Luohong bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, âYou have a son.â
Tang Zhenhua was stunned, and then he felt his whole bodyâs pores tighten. Goosebumps covered every corner of his body, and hot blood rushed to his head as if his entire head was about to explode.
âI⦠I have a son? Iâ¦â
He was speechless. He was so excited that he was trembling. He looked at Ying Luohong, his eyes wide with disbelief.
âHonghong, where is our son? Let me think. That was nineteen years ago. If you had just had him at that time, our son would be about eighteen now?â
Suddenly, he realized something and couldnât believe it. âCould our son be in the Star Wars Experimental Class?â
Tang Zhenhua, being exceptionally intelligent, and once known as a genius of his generation, instantly understood from a temporal perspective. Ying Luohong gave him a disdainful look. âYouâre not completely stupid. Heâs your student.â
âWho? Who did you say it was? My student? Xuanyu? So Xuanyu is my son? Iâ¦â Tang Zhenhua almost jumped up in place.
âAre you shameless? Why donât you take a look at yourself in front of the Sea Godâs Lake? With your looks, how could you give birth to such a handsome son like Xuanyu? And, donât you know that Xuanyu is actually a year younger than his classmates in the same grade?â
Suddenly, Tang Zhenhuaâs facial muscles twitched with embarrassment. âItâs not Xuanyu? Then, is it that stinky kid Qian Lei? That kid doesnât look so goodâ¦â
Ying Luohong raised her eyebrows in anger. âWhatâs wrong with my disciple? Even if he doesnât look as good, someone still likes him. Now heâs with Lan Mengqin. That girl is so beautiful, but she was still won over by my disciple. Itâs not him. I wonât give you a chance to doubt him. I canât give birth to such an ugly child.â
Tang Zhenhuaâs expression froze and he thought to himself, âYou wonât let me say heâs ugly, but didnât you just say it yourself?â But at this moment, how could he dare to offend Ying Luohong! He quickly asked, âThen, who is it? Honghong, please tell me.â
Ying Luohong snorted, âYou should figure it out for yourself. Canât you see who looks like you? Do I have to tell you?â
