Chapter 510: Life and Death Just a Thin Line Away02_1

This thought made Dongfang Jin’s mood sink even deeper.

He looked off into the distance.

He suddenly asked again, “Do you have anything else to say to me?”

Baili Xia turned her head to look at him, confusion in her eyes.

After a moment, she laughed and said, “I don’t want to say anything more, it’s meaningless.”

“Why?” Dongfang Jin pulled his gaze back from afar and stared at her.

What did ‘meaningless’ mean, had she already given up?

The word ‘give up’ made him anxious.

He…he could actually try to listen to her rationally.

If she was willing to speak, perhaps he…

he might be willing to listen.

Baili Xia could clearly see his compromise and his attempt to trust himself.

But now, it wasn’t about believing or not believing, but the fact that he was indeed poisoned.

A poison like this cannot be cured by just reflecting on the past.

So why bother intensify his suffering before removing the poison?

“Are you giving up like this?” The calmer she was, the more agitated Dongfang Jin was.

What did her giving up imply, was she no longer considering coming back to him?

His heart skipped a beat!

Why did he still hope that she would come back to him?

What on earth was he thinking?

Recently, these absurd thoughts might drive him insane!

“Jin, you’re overburdened with too many worries right now, even if I tell you some things, it would be of no use.”

Baili Xia recognized his dilemma, but she didn’t know what words could comfort him.

“How do you know it’s useless?” Dongfang Jin grew even more frustrated, “You won’t speak, so you’re giving up?”

“If I told you that I was the one who saved you back then, and Lu Xuening was the one who pushed you away, would you believe me?”

She smiled, “Even if you told me you believed me, you would still have doubts.”

She picked up a rock from the ground, playfully tossed it in her hand a couple of times, and then casually threw it into the distance.

The smile on her lips contained a bit of helplessness, yet also some tenderness.

“Perhaps, you’ve begun to question some things, but there are fragments in your brain that you can’t shake off.”

“It’s not about belief or disbelief because you can’t decide whether to believe or not.”

“You want to believe, but there are always doubts.

You doubt, yet you want to believe.”

“Baili Xia, you think you are so grown up, speaking to someone almost ten years older than you, don’t you feel guilty when you say these things?”

Her words made him more irritated, and what was most frustrating was that he couldn’t refute them.

Baili Xia just laughed and said nothing.

In terms of age, she was indeed much younger than him, but that didn’t mean she had no right to preach to him.

Because she discovered that some people, regardless of their age, can be as childish as children sometimes.

Really, they can be as childish as children…

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.

Since you no longer hate me, how about we start over?”

“What did you say?” Dongfang Jin’s hand clenched tightly, his heart pounded heavily.

Start over, she said she wanted to start over with him, was…

was she sincere?

Baili Xia blinked, seeing the excitement in his eyes, she suddenly realized.

“I…I didn’t mean that.”

She felt a bit embarrassed.

She realized she had misspoken.

“What I mean is, we could become friends again.”
