Chapter 1109: Chapter 1109: No Regrets in This Life, No Remorse in This Love (Part 1)

The crowd couldn’t quite understand why Han Jing, given her nature, would want to help Ning Xu.

Normally, if someone provoked the people around her, she’d definitely get riled up, just like last night when she first met Xiaoqi, she almost got physical. So, given Han Jing’s character, she should only want to make Ning Xu’s death even more miserable, yet she is helping him, which nobody can comprehend.

But Han Jing had already spoken, and now Ning Xu couldn’t escape, so they complied.

Soon, Han Jing and the others took Ning Xu and Shui Jingmo to a different place, where Han Jing and the others hid, leaving space for Shui Jingmo and Ning Xu alone.

Of course, to prevent Ning Xu from playing any tricks, Han Jing instructed Ning Shiqi and Xiaoqi to team up and do something to Ning Xu. She wanted to help him once, true, but the most important person was still Brother Qiao; she couldn’t let her momentary kindness allow Ning Xu to escape and fail to save Brother Qiao. She would never forgive herself for that.

When Shui Jingmo awoke to find Ning Xu before him, he was still struggling to grasp the situation.

"I..." How did I end up here? Shui Jingmo wanted to ask, but facing Ning Xu, he found himself unable to speak.

He was indeed no match for Ning Xu, if Ning Xu truly wanted to take him away from the Island Master Mansion, there should be countless ways to do so.

After so many years apart, he thought... he had long left, long moved on.

He truly didn’t expect to see him again.

"A Jing, we finally meet again." Ning Xu stood still, quietly watching Shui Jingmo, the tears of blood on his face had been wiped away, but his excessively pale skin still made him appear unwell, almost the same color as his white hair.

He had arrived at Shuiqi Island long ago, but for the past ten years, he had been hiding everywhere, never truly standing before him; he had always just been secretly watching him, thinking of him, yearning for him.

In the illusory dream he created, they faced each other countless times, yet what he saw was never truly him, just a soulless shell.

So this was their first true, face-to-face, real meeting in the ten years since they parted.

"Xiao Xu, your hair,..." How has it turned white? Why haven’t you... taken better care of yourself? Your face is so pale, are you sick?

So many words, words of concern, lingered on the edge of his lips, but he could never speak them again as before. Since he made that choice, everything was beyond return.

What purpose would his concern serve when expressed?

No matter the reason, he betrayed his feelings, and that was the truth.

He had no defense.

Ning Xu curved his lips: "Am I ugly now?"

He felt that at this moment, he should want to cry; they were about to part, from now on, thoroughly, endlessly, part forever.

Never to meet again, never to think again, never to yearn again.

Loved so much, loved so passionately, loved so foolishly, it was all about to end.

He was going to die, to turn to dust, never to rise again for eternity.

Because only then could he forget him completely, with no reincarnation, no rebirth, everything would end in the most resolute way.
