Chapter 2148: Reaching an Understanding (Part 4)

"Why?" Nian Qianqian pressed on.

Zhang Changyang just shook his head, "No reason, don’t ask anymore."

"Zhang Changyang, say you love me, say you can’t bear to lose me, would that kill you?" Nian Qianqian shouted.

"I..."

"If you don’t like me, then don’t care whether I live or die." As Nian Qianqian spoke, she suddenly let go, and her body directly fell downward.

"Nian Qianqian." Zhang Changyang was so scared his face turned pale, he also let go of his hand and followed her down, immediately grabbing hold of her. Then suddenly with a flick, a silk ribbon flew up, wrapping around the handle of the treasure sword, stopping their descent, "Do you really want to die?"

"Do you think I’m joking?" Nian Qianqian was already in tears, "I have chased you from being a young woman to having a head full of white hair just because I believed you loved me. And what happened? What besides avoidance can you do? How much more time do we have to keep avoiding it? I’m tired, I’m really tired..."

"Qianqian..." Zhang Changyang’s eyes also reddened.

"Brother Changyang, I’m still calling you this at my age, in truth, it’s really cheesy, but this will be the last time I call you that." Nian Qianqian hopelessly closed her eyes, "In the next life, I hope we never meet again..." As she spoke, she suddenly raised her hand and pulled out the Bai Yu hairpin from her head, aiming it at the hand Zhang Changyang was holding her with, ready to stab.

"Don’t." Zhang Changyang suddenly shouted, "Qianqian, I love you, I’ve always loved you..."

Nian Qianqian’s hand stopped, she looked up at him in disbelief.

"These years, I’ve always felt deeply guilty. If it weren’t for me, you and he could’ve lived happily together, and then..." Zhang Changyang sniffled, "That’s why I ran away. I thought if I left, maybe you would meet a good man and live a happy life."

"There isn’t a good man." Nian Qianqian shook her head, "Ever since I met you, I haven’t been my own person anymore, my eyes and heart are full of you..."

"I know, but all these years, I’ve gotten used to your pursuit. When you’re not behind me, I feel especially uneasy..." Zhang Changyang suddenly laughed, "Now that I think about it, how silly!"

"Yeah, so silly."

"Qianqian, like you mentioned, we don’t have much time left, so, could you not die?"

"Then could you not run away?"

"Okay."

Reaching a mutual understanding, the two old folks finally embraced on the cliff, and then...

"We have to figure out a way to get up there." Nian Qianqian glanced up and down, frowning.

"If you hadn’t jumped down so fast just now, would we be in this situation?" Zhang Changyang also frowned.

"Are you blaming me?" Nian Qianqian glared, "If I hadn’t jumped, would you have admitted you love me? Would you have..."

"Alright, my fault." Zhang Changyang suddenly laughed, "Whatever you say goes. We can’t climb up, so we’ll either have to go down or find a place to settle first and wait for Xinxin to rescue us."

"Why Xinxin?" Nian Qianqian raised an eyebrow, "Why not your apprentice?"

"Because Xinxin’s special abilities are a bit more exceptional."

"Alright then." Nian Qianqian nodded, looked around, and then pointed to the side, "Over there, by that pine tree, it seems there’s a place we can settle..."
