You say your family cares for you and dotes on you. Can you bear to make them sad?
Lu Youyou was swept up by the atmosphere, unable to help but feel solemn as she absorbed Xu Lie's words.
Indeed, if she were truly seen as Xu Lie's accomplice, would she have to go to jail? Her parents and sister would surely be heartbroken—perhaps her mother and sister would even cry. How would her family face their relatives? Would the neighbors say hurtful things? Her parents' careers and her sister's studies would be greatly affected.
The more Lu Youyou followed Xu Lie's logic, the more frightened she became.
Had she really gone too far? Xu Lie's serious expression softened a bit, and his tone became gentler: "Don't let your own situation harm your family. They are the ones who care about you the most in this world."
Tears welled up; Xu Lie truly cared for Lu Youyou.
But what about Xu Lie? His identity as an Explosive Offender was about to be uncovered—would he have to endure a difficult escape?
Lu Youyou thought Xu Lie was right; she couldn't let her family down. Most families genuinely love their children.
Faced with such sound reasoning from Xu Lie, Lu Youyou found herself unable to argue back, lowering her head dejectedly. "I... I understand."
Xu Lie felt a bit relieved and reached out to pat Lu Youyou's shoulder. "That's good. Remember to think about how much your family loves you."
As he withdrew his arm and prepared to leave, suddenly, he paused mid-step. The hem of his shirt had been caught by Lu Youyou.
Xu Lie turned around without saying a word, his eyes questioning what she meant.
Looking at Xu Lie's retreating figure, Lu Youyou was suddenly overwhelmed by a strong sense of reluctance. She felt that if she let him go like this, she would regret it deeply.
She had to do something—she had to!
Before she could even think of what that something might be, Lu Youyou had already acted, grabbing hold of Xu Lie's shirt corner.
Her voice was much softer now as her eyes sparkled with hope. "Can... can you stay and eat something with me again?"
Eat again? Hadn't they just finished a big meal? Was she already hungry? How many stomachs did she have to be so bold?
Lu Youyou's eyes revealed a hint of pleading: Didn't you say that no one had accompanied you for a meal in a long time?
I thought to myself, this might be the last time. At least, at least let me share a meal with you, just this once. We promised that I would accompany you for meals from now on.
Though, though you never actually agreed.
Lu Youyou's gaze stirred something within Xu Lie, like a deer caught in a hunter's trap—agile yet sorrowful, with an underlying plea.
Are you a bottomless pit? That joke never quite made it to his lips.
He chuckled softly. Xu Lie estimated there was still enough time; the Special Investigation Team wouldn't arrive so soon. I knew you were just a little glutton, thinking about what to eat next after finishing this.
What do you want to eat? I'll go with you.
Lu Youyou seemed to forget all her previous worries and troubles, her charming face lighting up with a brilliant smile: Follow me! I know a great place.
