1766 I Should Take Responsibility
He turned his gaze away and his voice got softer. “I wanted to find and talk to you when I woke up the next day after that incident, but then I learned that you had already returned to the Yan Kingdom with Beitang You.” He sounded a little helpless.

Hexin knew he wanted to talk about what happened between them two years ago, but when she heard him mention it out loud, her expression darkened and her fingers unconsciously clenched tight on her handkerchief.

She was silent for a while before saying, “What happened back then was just an accident, Big Bro Long Yin. It happened so long ago and you shouldn’t be bothered by it now. You should forget about it. If there is nothing else, I’ll head inside now.” With that, she stood up.

Long Yin frowned. Did she look like she had forgotten about it?

She was a young girl back then and must have been terribly frightened by what he did.

As the young woman was about to leave right in front of him once more, he got up before she could and grabbed her hand. He used slightly more force when she tried to struggle.

He met the girl’s alarmed and wary look, then gave a low sigh. “Hexin, I’m serious about wanting to have a talk with you. Please stop running away from me.”

“Let go!” Hexin suddenly growled.

The look on Long Yin’s face darkened as he narrowed his eyes at her. “I’ll let you go, but you have to promise me to let me finish what I have to say before leaving, alright?”

Hexin looked into his serious gaze and hesitated before finally nodding. “Alright.”

Long Yin finally released her hand. He gave his head a tilt to the side and said, “Sit down.”
Hexin sat down as told.

This time, Long Yin did not sit down but leaned against the pillar with his long slender legs slightly stretched out.

The corridor was not too wide. If Hexin wanted to leave, she would have to go past his legs before she could escape.

Hexin stared at his long, slender legs and knew what his stance meant.

She quietly said, “When did Big Bro Long Yin become so childish?”

They fell silent and the atmosphere turned awkward in an instant.

Hexin could no longer take it and she broke the silence.

“Are Aunt Weiwei and the others doing well?”

“Yes, Mother and the rest are doing well.”

Hexin nodded.

He was the one who wanted to talk, yet he was not saying a thing now.

Hexin hesitated before finally asking, “How is Big Sis Xue’er doing now? Is she already married to Big Bro Wanyan?”

The moment she mentioned this, she immediately noticed the unhappy feeling emanating from the man next to her.

She seemed to have asked a stupid question.

After Lu Xue’s illness was cured back then, she got together with Wanyan Zhi. They must already have gotten married after these two years.

Just when Hexin thought that Long Yin would not answer this question, she suddenly heard him say in a low voice, “Yes, their wedding was held just a few months ago. Lu Xue went to the frontier with Cousin Wanyan after the wedding.”

Hexin was surprised and could not help looking at him. However, Long Yin was standing where the lights were quite dim and she could not really see his expression.

“I’m sorry,” she apologized as she slightly regretted her question.

“It’s fine. You don’t need to apologize.” Long Yin’s tone sounded nonchalant.

Hexin still felt a little bad about it. She felt that her unintentional mention of this must have stabbed him right where it hurt.

The atmosphere between them froze once more. They could hear the cheering, bustling, and clinking of the cups from far away.

Compared to thar, the place they stood felt even colder and lonelier than before.

Hexin could not take it much longer. She wanted to get up and leave, but she had already promised to listen to what he had to say before leaving.

Long Yin still did not say anything after waiting for quite a while. Hexin was about to speak up when he finally spoke.

“Hexin, I should take responsibility for what happened that day.”

Hexin looked at him in astonishment.

Long Yin sighed. “If you hadn’t run off that day, this was what I would have said to you.”
