[A fan fiction based on The Legend of Qin
Serialized on Tieba]
Gao Jianli lowered his head and gazed at the lovely woman before him. Her thin face carried a faint sadness. "A Xue, you harbor too much resentment toward this world. It's no good for you or anyone else."
Xue Nu froze. It had been a long time since she had spoken with such bitterness and despair. She had not said anything like that since she and Gao Jianli had pledged themselves to each other. Now that the words were out, her heart trembled. Had that wound truly sunk to the bone? Had that pain really settled into every gesture?
"After all these years, you still can't forget?" Gao Jianli's voice softened, and his gaze warmed from its usual coolness. He reached out to take Xue Nu's hand, but the instant he grasped it, she instinctively pulled away.
Xue Nu looked dazed, unsure why she had pulled back. She furrowed her brow slightly and turned away. She could feel the man's breath behind her, tinged with helplessness.
"So I still can't heal your wounds..." Gao Jianli began, but Xue Nu cut him off.
"No! Don't say that." Xue Nu turned back and took Gao Jianli's hand. "The wound has always been there. No matter how hard you try, a scar will remain. But we've been through so much, and the love between us has long since grown deeper than that wound. You said you didn't mind my past."
Gao Jianli lowered his eyes and squeezed Xue Nu's hand in his. Her hand was so delicate and smooth, so easy to lose. At last, his tightly furrowed brow relaxed, and he nodded. "That's right. I don't mind."
I like it very much, please update?
