Chapter 355: The Final Farewell (7)

Shi Che's hand lifted slowly, slowly reaching out and ever so gently touching Ling Chuxia's cheek. His hand caressed her face without daring to use any strength, fearful that the slightest pressure would wake her.

What did he really want?

Over the years, he seemed to never have asked himself that question.

But the answer was crystal clear to him, unchanged from the past to the present.

He wanted Ling Chuxia, a living, breathing Ling Chuxia full of life. He loved her, he wanted to bring her happiness. He wanted her to live each day with joy, to cry when she felt like crying, to act up when she felt like acting up, to be capricious when she felt like it.

Yet, in the three years they were married, not for a single day had he allowed her to cry if she wanted to, to act up if she wanted to, to be capricious if she wanted to.
