Professor Sun desperately wanted to unravel this mystery, but Qiu Hongyao wouldn't even glance at him, her face etched with cold indifference.
"..."
Feeling a surge of guilt, Professor Sun guessed that he had probably been too harsh earlier, and that the other party had lost all hope in him.
In his helplessness, he could only look to Xu Fan for help with pleading eyes.
Since Xu Fan knew about his past with Qiu Hongyao, he must also know the real reason why Qiu Hongyao left all those years ago.
"Xu, Xu Fan, please, tell me, will you?"
Professor Sun looked at Xu Fan with eyes full of expectation, begging.
At this moment, he had come to a stark realization, that the one who had been in the wrong all these years had always been himself, not Qiu Hongyao.
He wanted to make amends, and even harbored some greed, wishing to reconcile with Qiu Hongyao, just as Xu Fan had said. Qiu Hongyao was a good woman, and meeting her was the luckiest thing in his life.
