Xu Xiang’s Decision

Hearing Huan Yun's question, Xu Xiang nodded and said, "Mhm. I have to do it. This is the only way to save Yucheng."

As soon as these words came out, Huan Yun fell into silence. After a few seconds, she asked again: "What about Xiao Shao? Won't you consider his feelings? Have you ever thought about what would happen to him if you failed and died?"

Hearing her question, Xu Xiang sighed again and said, "I felt sorry for him, but I can't reciprocate his feelings. It's best to draw a clear line between the two of us so that he can move on. Short-term pain is always better than long-term pain."

Seeing how determined she was, Huan Yun sighed helplessly and said, "Since you have made up your mind, then I will support you."

Xu Xiang looked at her with a smile and said, "Thank you, Huan Yun. I'm sorry, I may not be able to fulfill my promise to you."
