Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

However, he still misjudged Qin Ruoke's current physical condition.

Qin Ruoke swayed and then fell to the ground again. This time, she fell to her left front, where there was no shelter from the rain from the edge of the pavilion.

In other words, she is now completely collapsed in the heavy rain.

Their faces were covered in dirt.

This terrified Yu Zhe so much that he turned pale. He hadn't expected that Qin Ruoke was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up at all!

He reached out to help.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ruoke reached out and pushed his hand back first.

"No...don't come any closer...it's raining heavily outside, you shouldn't...you shouldn't catch a cold..."

"you…"

The words she uttered in that state were truly heartbreaking.

Shaking her head slightly, Qin Ruoke actually forced herself to stand up slowly in the rain.

The involuntary sounds of pain coming from her throat showed how much she was struggling.

Nevertheless, the expression on his face became resolute, completely different from before.

Seeing this scene, Yu Zhe withdrew her hand and watched her finally stand still in the heavy rain.

Hmm… Su Yuzhe now needs to correct a statement he made. He once told Zixiao that Qin Ruoke seemed strong, but was actually more fragile than anyone else.

Now it seems that she possesses a different kind of strength.

Qin Ruoke's legs were slightly bent; this time, she wasn't unable to stand, but rather did it intentionally.

To this day, Qin Ruoke has never succumbed to fate.

Resist, and resist again, always resisting fate.

Today, she has no intention of giving in either.

but.

Today, she will put aside all her pride and apologize properly to Su Yuzhe, the person she has fallen in love with.

She couldn't abandon her father, so it was impossible for her to completely sever ties with what he had done.

My family has let Yu Zhe down so badly.

Then at least... put everything aside now, kneel down on the ground and apologize to Yu Zhe on behalf of your father and yourself.

Then, when Dad gets out of prison, I'll take him away from this city, away from Yu Zhe.

This was her final salvation.

Under Yu Zhe's astonished gaze, Qin Ruoke's knees gradually bent at an increasing angle. At this rate, her knees would touch the ground in a few seconds.

Yu Zhe suddenly realized that Qin Ruoke... Qin Ruoke, who harbored true pride, was now desperately trying to kneel down in front of him.

Don't kneel... just say it!

Speak up, say what you want to say!

In the very last moment, just as her knees were about to touch the ground.

Qin Ruoke's expression turned into a gentle smile.

That smile held a mixture of helplessness, relief, and a touch of reluctance.

It was as if the rain around us had stopped falling, and the whole world had turned the color of cherry blossoms.

With her finally speaking.

"Yu Zhe, I'm sorry, I am Qin Yang's daughter."

"I am not worthy to be by your side."

This was truly the final moment, when her knees were probably less than a centimeter off the ground.

Yu Zhe pulled her up in one go!

They pulled themselves out of the rain and came to this roof where not a drop of rain had fallen.

He held her protectively in his arms, and Yu Zhe's originally sharp and emotionless gaze was now filled with tenderness.

Qin Ruoke, nestled in Yu Zhe's arms, had eyes full of confusion.

Yu Zhe gently brushed away the hair that Qin Ruoke had stuck to her face because of the rain.

His voice was filled with satisfaction.

"You finally said it."

36. Under the bright moon, there are no more lost souls.

Qin Ruoke lay in Yu Zhe's arms, her eyes wide open.

"No... what are you saying? Did you really hear me?"

Puzzled, confused.

Although she felt dizzy and her vision was blurry, Qin Ruoke knew that she had definitely said the truth.

Did Yu Zhe mishear? Or did he forget who Qin Yang was?

Just as she was about to explain further...

Yu Zhe simply smiled and said, "I heard it, I heard it very carefully, I didn't miss a single word."

"You said you're Qin Yang's daughter, right?"

This fact, which had caused Qin Ruoke so much distress that she was almost dying, was recounted by Yu Zhe in a completely flat and uneventful manner.

For a moment, Qin Ruoke didn't know what to say.

He could only ask blankly, "I...I don't understand, don't you hate me?"

Even though the night was dark and the clouds were thick, there was still a faint light shining on Yu Zhe's face, reflecting his smile that couldn't be more gentle.

"I don't hate you. I've told you many times before not to take the blame for other people's mistakes. It's not only exhausting, but also unreasonable."

But what you're doing is also very unreasonable.

Qin Ruoke raised her hand with great difficulty and gently covered Yu Zhe's palm: "But... that's not just anyone... that's my father, and..."

She couldn't help but give a helpless smile: "Besides, it's not fair to yourself to say that."

That's right.

在秦

Ruoke felt that Yuzhe was too kind. He was the one who was hurt in the first place, but now he expressed an indifferent attitude so casually. Doesn't a person who is too gentle end up hurting himself?

Qin Ruoke couldn't bear to see him like this.

She had prepared herself for Yu Zhe to leave her in the rain and get soaked all night, hoping that this would calm him down.

Who knew things would develop like this?

"Whether it's fair or not, it doesn't matter." Yu Zhe hugged Qin Ruoke even tighter, afraid that she would catch a cold again and her cold would get worse.

"Oh right, I can tell you now. Actually... hehe, I've known for a long time that you're Qin Yang's daughter."

Yu Zhe's cheerful remark shocked Qin Ruoke so much that she almost fainted.

What? !

She was completely speechless: "You said you knew...when did you find out?"

"Probably...after the first time I met you?"

"..."

I felt even more dizzy, or rather, even though I didn't have a fever, I couldn't understand what Yu Zhe had just said at all.

After a moment of reaction, Qin Ruoke was surprised to realize something: "You know... then why did you promise me... promise to help me save my father?"

Yu Zhe's behavior is so confusing!

"Oh, this?" Yu Zhe smiled. "It's nothing. You looked so pitiful when you asked me for help, how could I not help you?"

However, Yu Zhe didn't continue. Besides that, he had other considerations for releasing Qin Yang.

What kind of reason is that?!

Upon hearing her words, Qin Ruoke's cheeks, which were already flushed from the fever, turned even redder.

Without saying anything, she shyly buried her face a little closer to Yu Zhe's chest.

Seeing her like this, Yu Zhe bluntly asked, "What, I know but I didn't tell you, are you angry?"

"Not angry..."

Rather, she was overjoyed to know that Yu Zhe didn't blame her and that she could continue to stay by his side.

She was so delirious with fever that she didn't even realize that the words she was thinking had actually come out of her mouth.

Yu Zhe heard it, of course.

"Want to stay by my side...?"

"Huh? I said it out loud?"

Qin Ruoke looked at Yu Zhe in surprise. If she had the strength to run, she would have run away in embarrassment.

She has never said anything like that in her life.

In fact, Yu Zhe could tell that although she had said everything, Qin Ruoke still felt ashamed about her father's situation.

So he leaned down and whispered in Qin Ruoke's ear, "I'll tell you another secret... about your father, actually..."

After saying that...

Qin Ruoke's weak expression suddenly radiated a kind of brilliance.

It was a sense of relief that came with overwhelming joy.

"Really?"

"That's right, why would I lie to you? Anyway, in a few days, when your dad comes out of prison, you'll know everything. Don't blame yourself anymore, okay? If you rush into the rain without saying a word again, I really won't take care of you anymore."
