Compromise (2)

When he finished, Shen Wenna felt a heaviness in her chest. Suddenly, she felt a pang of sadness, yet she did not say anything.

Xi Mushan looked down at the two fallen leaves by her feet with a bleak and lonely expression. The air around him felt so sorrowful that she could feel it. She lifted a hand to fix the windbreaker as she contemplated for a moment, then slowly said, "I'm not forcing you to leave either. Some things take time to straighten out, but even if we try hard, some things cannot go back to how it was."

"Then, we'll start now. What's so bad about that? If you're still willing, I don't mind courting you again, just like how I did back then. Push away all the unhappiness. The children are all grown up now, so we can start a new life too."

When he heard Shen Wenna, a flicker of hope appeared in Shen Wenna's eyes as he fixed her eyes on her.
