Chapter 386 Lu Mingbei Extra 2

Lu Yuanqing felt angry when he saw Lu Mingbei with his head down and not saying a word.

However, even though he was so angry with her, he was secretly relieved.

Luckily, we had almost finished eating, otherwise we wouldn't have had any appetite later.

"Is he so unforgettable? Is he still stuck in the past?" Lu Yuanqing asked.

Lu Mingbei sensed that Lu Yuanqing was more serious than ever before this time.

She had a boyfriend a long time ago.

They went to the same high school and made a promise to take the college entrance exam together.

They both had feelings for each other and thought they would officially be together once they went to university.

Lu Yuanqing knew this because her high school homeroom teacher had called her to the school.

After learning everything, Lu Yuanqing saw that neither of them had suffered from getting close to each other's grades, so he did not interfere.

His laissez-faire attitude at the time infuriated Lu Mingbei's homeroom teacher.

But as it turns out, non-intervention is the best approach.

However, the two did not end up together.

They had agreed to officially be together once they got to university, but he never had the chance to attend the same university as her.

Lu Mingbei has remained single to this day.

Lu Yuanqing knew about her situation and didn't urge her.

After all, the sadness of having loved someone but not having a happy ending takes time to heal.

But Lu Yuanqing hadn't considered that this timeframe might be a bit too long.

He didn't want to rush her, but he also didn't want her to remain immersed in past pain.

“Third Uncle, I know what you mean, but I’m living my life seriously, very seriously.” Lu Mingbei emphasized with slight excitement, “I’m happy every day, and I don’t have any worries at all.”

"real!"

Lu Yuanqing pursed his lips, "Do you still have nightmares at night?"

Lu Mingbei paused, instinctively wanting to say no.

"Don't lie to me!" Lu Yuanqing's light words immediately dispelled her lie.

"There's more!!"

Lu Yuanqing: "Several times!"

"Four or five times!"

Lu Yuanqing's face immediately darkened.

I often have nightmares and wake up four or five times a night.

"Is it really that hard to forget?"

Lu Mingbei lowered her head even further, her entire being revealing that she did not want to answer the question.

"The reporters are useless now, they're gone. The parents still hate you, and have even moved out of Kyoto, unwilling to return to this painful place."

"Uncle Three!"

Lu Mingbei looked up at Lu Yuanqing in disbelief.

Lu Yuanqing's words were harsh, but they were also the truth, a truth that Lu Mingbei would never want to admit.

Lu Yuanqing looked at her calmly, his eyes devoid of any emotion, and his tone was calm yet somewhat cold. "Third Uncle admits that I was a little selfish in this matter. You are my niece, and you have been with me since you were so young. After Second Brother and the others passed away, the people I was most worried about were you and Xiao Zhong."

At the age of two, it was such a difficult time.

After he came into this world, among the children in his family, he was the first to worry about Lu Mingbei and Lu Mingzhong.

He was worried that he wouldn't be able to support them, worried that the two siblings, who were so young and couldn't even walk steadily at two years old, would die from his care.

At the time, he was more worried about the psychological trauma of raising the animal to death.

But deep down he was very afraid that Lu Mingbei and Lu Mingzhong, the siblings, wouldn't survive.

How could he possibly watch a girl he'd watched grow up be forever stuck in the past?

"The other person is dead, that's a fact, and once dead, they can't come back to life."

The cruel truth, however, is one that causes Lu Mingbei to nearly collapse every time it is mentioned.

"It's because of me that he's unhappy..."

"How is it because of you?" Lu Yuanqing retorted, "He asked you out, not the other way around. He was in a car accident, but that was because he went out on his own initiative. What does it have to do with you?"

Why are you trying to shift the blame onto yourself?

Lu Mingbei shook his head, "But I still have responsibilities."

What responsibility do you bear?

Lu Mingbei's mouth was half open, unable to speak.

Lu Yuanqing scoffed, "See, you can't explain it either, because this matter has nothing to do with you at all. Every day, people die tragically in car accidents around the world. Are you responsible for all of them?"

“The Yang family blamed you for the death of their outstanding son. I can understand them. After all, it is hard for parents to bury their children. But you can’t take it out on you just because of what they said.”

"No one would want to be in such a situation."

Such a fine, outstanding young man, dying in the prime of his life—it's heartbreaking to hear.

But he died when Lu Mingbei loved him the most, making Lu Mingbei unable to forget him and even blame himself.

If I don't ask her out, will she not do it?

Lu Yuanqing understood that Lu Mingbei was too sad, so she wanted to find some responsibility to bear, and it was this responsibility that would allow her to remember the other person forever.

Doesn't Lu Mingbei know that she bears no responsibility for this?

She knows!

Just as Lu Yuanqing said, natural disasters are something no one can predict.

But she just doesn't want to forget him; if it's her responsibility, then she can't forget him.

This truth is what angered Lu Yuanqing.

Lu Mingbei chuckled softly. Lu Yuanqing always understood her so well, knowing that it was her own unwillingness to let go, not that she couldn't let go.

She can let go if she wants to.

Twelve years have passed, that's a long time. It's still easy to forget some things.

But how could she forget?

He was so good to her, and she used to like him so much.

"Third Uncle, please just leave it at that!" Lu Mingbei smiled bitterly.

Lu Yuanqing was so angry that he felt dizzy.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're going to spend your whole life thinking about him? Don't you even think about your own life? There are so many wonderful people and interesting lives in this world. Are you really going to give up your life for someone who's dead?"

When Lu Yuanqing got angry, Lu Mingbei immediately shrank back and his voice became less assertive. "Third Uncle, don't be angry. I won't say anything more."

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

Not saying anything, but continuing to maintain the status quo?

"I really don't understand you."

He couldn't understand all those people who were willing to die for love.

Uh!

He should be thankful that Lu Mingbei at least appeared to be in no condition and wasn't on the verge of death.

For what?!

He, a person who has been single for life and for two lifetimes, really can't understand it.

How wonderful it is to be alive! Every day brings a different experience. Being able to live, to live healthily and happily, is the life that Lu Yuanqing is most satisfied with.

They're always saying they don't want to live anymore, but when their lives are actually in danger, they realize how precious it is to be alive.

……

Lu Mingbei left somewhat dejectedly.

It wasn't because Lu Yuanqing brought up her buried painful past, but because she made Lu Yuanqing unhappy.

She thought that if others found out, she would definitely be condemned.

But now that no one knows, she feels very guilty.

Lu Yuanqing is different; in the hearts of all members of the Lu family, he is different.

They all hoped that he could live a carefree and happy life, free from worries about anything.

But her situation worried Lu Yuanqing.

Lu Mingbei didn't want to.

Lu Yuanqing was unhappy; it was as if she had made a huge mistake.

As Lu Mingbei walked, he fell into deep thought.

She didn't know what to do.

She didn't want Lu Yuanqing to worry, and even wanted to let go as Lu Yuanqing hoped, but she also didn't want to forget the past.

Forgetting the past is the same as forgetting him.

Forgetting him means that there is one less person in the world who remembers him.

He is still a younger brother, and Yang's parents will eventually forget their grief.

After the Yang family resumed their lives without him, who would still remember him so fondly?

Then he can be considered truly gone from this world!

Lu Mingbei refused!

The affections of youth are always so profound and unforgettable.

If possible, Lu Mingbei wanted to remember him forever.

The kind of willingness.

I walked while thinking.

When he bumped into someone again, Lu Mingbei's mood worsened.

When Lu Mingbei saw that he had bumped into that boy again, he was speechless.

What a coincidence!
