Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 476 Deception

"I deceived you." Wu Xunsheng felt heavy-hearted when he said this.

"Ah?" Tie Hongyan felt very strange.

"I lied to you that day in the woods."

"Which ones are lies?"

"That day, I said I liked you, but..." Wu Xunsheng stopped talking halfway through the sentence. This time, without waiting for Tie Hongyan to say anything, he immediately said the second half of the sentence: "But in fact, I have never liked you." When Wu Xunsheng spoke, his eyes avoided Tie Hongyan.

Tie Hongyan stood there in a daze.

"I hugged you and said those words to you that day just to stop you from dying. If you die, I can't live either. After all, I did that just to keep myself alive. The rest of the words were all made up to deceive you, they were all fake!" Wu Xunsheng's eyes were a little wet when he said this. He continued, "I don't know if you have ever liked me, but I have never liked you. I have always been your sparring partner, since we were little, and it has never changed. We can have a lot of fun together, and we can have many good memories, but I have never had the kind of 'like' for you that I told you that day in the woods. I wanted to tell you a few days ago, but I couldn't say it. I thought, I will tell you when you are in a particularly good mood. This kind of words are only suitable for you when you are in a very good mood."

Tie Hongyan was in such a good mood after her martial arts were restored that day. In addition, they had agreed in the woods that day that what happened in the woods never happened. She also knew that they would never be together in the future. Therefore, although she felt as if she was stabbed by something when she heard his words, she was more puzzled. She asked: "Didn't we already agree that what happened in the woods that day should be treated as if it never happened? Why are you suddenly telling me this?"

"I really want to pretend that nothing happened, and I once thought that I could do it, but in fact I didn't. I looked for the reason why I couldn't do it, and I found out that it was because I lied to you that day, and I felt very guilty! If I want to truly pretend that nothing happened, I have to tell you the truth. Only when you eliminate the guilt can you truly let it go and truly pretend that nothing happened." Wu Xunsheng didn't look into Tie Hongyan's eyes from beginning to end.

"Later that day you specifically asked me if your words made me feel that you were not sincere enough, and you also said that you were sincere..." Tie Hongyan said, a little confused.

"I was deceiving you from beginning to end that day. I was worried that you would do something else if I didn't say that. But today, you were in a good mood, and I was sure you wouldn't do that again, so I told you the truth. I deceived you that day, so I want to say sorry to you!" Wu Xunsheng said immediately.

Tie Hongyan said calmly: "I should say thank you. No matter what your reason was for saying those things to me that day, you actually saved me. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be alive today to recover my martial arts skills."

"Do you really think so?" Wu Xunsheng finally looked into her eyes, but the moment their eyes met, he subconsciously avoided them.

"You told me this so that you could truly let go. Now that I know, you can truly let go, right?" Tie Hongyan said.
