Chapter 591: Tears of the Merfolk Beneath Jingluo Lake (Part 16)
Lian Xichen...
Han Jing observed that Lian Xichen’s expression seemed to waver slightly, and continued: "Big Brother, if you just bless her with a heart wishing for her happiness, sincerely hoping for her to awaken, and give her a warm kiss, maybe you will touch her? Why did she choose to sleep all those years ago? It was because she was so lonely! If she had friends by her side back then, or someone to tell her how to get through the painful days, would she have chosen to sleep?"
Lian Xichen remained silent...
Han Jing shrugged: "If she still doesn’t wake up after that, then we’ve done our best, and all we can do is find a way to leave here, letting her continue to wait for her destined one. But we’ve shattered her dreamscape, and it may be very hard for her to meet her destined one in the future, perhaps she will sleep at the bottom of the lake for eternity. Although we came here with a purpose, only by helping an innocent, pitiable girl to be reborn can we have peace of mind when negotiating with her. Otherwise, how are we any different from bandits and robbers?"
Han Jing wasn’t someone who liked to meddle in others’ business, nor was she overflowing with compassion, but when encountering someone she could help, a simple gesture wasn’t much trouble. Reflecting back, if it hadn’t been for Su Yaogeng’s moment of kindness, taking away the innocent little Han Jing, how could there have been today’s Han Jing?
Over these years, Han Jing had truly grown and matured a lot. Her heart, once cold and hard, had gradually softened after meeting so many people who truly cared about her, who were concerned about her. She learned to treat different people and matters with an appropriate mindset and approach rather than clinging stubbornly and coldly.
Lian Xichen was touched by Han Jing’s sincere gaze, and his heart was moved slightly; indeed, he had been too narrow-minded.
Over these years of battles, his heart had been honed to coldness and hardness. He had experienced betrayal and loyalty, believing that the only way to keep himself calm was to let himself gradually become cold and hard, thus neglecting the inherent sensitivity in everyone. If he changed himself completely and rejected all warmth, wouldn’t he become just like those he once loathed so intensely?
This journey, Han Jing had truly impacted him significantly.
Upon their first meeting, his aversion to her stemmed from her overly expressive face, leaving him without the slightest favorable impression. But her words made him first realize how childish and ridiculous his one-sided judgment based on appearance was. Even after acknowledging her, in his eyes, she was merely a stronger and somewhat more special woman than ordinary ones. Yet, he didn’t expect that she brought him not only shocking prowess but also emotional discernment and balance that was just right.
It made him genuinely feel a trace of admiration and recognition.
Indeed, only such a unique woman is worthy of First Senior Brother! No wonder he can care about her so much.
She is worthy.
Lian Xichen nodded towards Han Jing: "I’ll try."
Han Jing clenched her fist and gave him a playful smile: "Go on then!"
Lian Xichen couldn’t help but twitch his lips, drawing a helpless smile.
Then he walked to the pool, paused for a moment, and stepped into the water. Bending over to face the perfect, dreamlike woman lying quietly in the pool, he suddenly remembered her clear, lively eyes, as pure and endearing as Xiao Xue’s.
