Chapter 616: Responsibility

“Lu Si, if I can’t protect my brothers even if I start over again, what’s the point of living another life?” Mei Shu’s shattered eyes were full of sorrow.
Lu Si looked at her with heartache, quickly hugged her, and comforted, “Don’t say that. The meaning of anyone’s life should be for themselves. Let’s not be so pessimistic for now. Things haven’t developed to that point yet. There’s still room for maneuver.”
Tears streamed down Mei Shu’s fragile face as she rested in his embrace.
After she cried enough, her heart slowly grew stronger.
She calmed down and wiped her tears silently by the bedside. “You’re right. It’s not time to be pessimistic yet. At least I should increase security and not let anyone sneak into the house again, at least to temporarily keep Xiao He safe.”
Lu Si silently held her hand back, silently giving her strength and supporting her to continue thinking.
Mei Shu continued, “I also need to train Yanyan and Xiao Feng’s physical fitness as much as possible, so they won’t be helpless in danger.”
“And…” Mei Shu became more and more excited as she spoke, listing out many preemptive measures.
Lu Si listened quietly to each one, and when she finally stopped, he asked the question she feared the most, “Don’t you want to tell Xiao Feng and them the truth?”
Mei Shu fell into silence, and the dead silence spread like a virus in the room. “Ah Si, let’s not tell Xiao Feng about this for now. I’m afraid they won’t be able to accept it, and…”
“And even if you tell them the truth and warn them to be careful, once they encounter danger related to you, they will still rush to save you regardless, which might just confirm the futures you see, just like what happened to Feng Wei, right?”
Lu Si saw through her deepest fear.
Mei Shu nodded, “1 have a feeling that all of this is because of me. Perhaps the key problem still lies with me. If so, there’s no need to make Xiao Feng and them worry. I’ll do everything I can to protect them, and that’s enough.”
But Lu Si didn’t think so. He grabbed her wrist, his eyes gloomy, his voice strained, “Your so-called doing everything you can is to sacrifice yourself at a critical moment to give them a chance to live healthy lives, right? If so, why don’t you look at my future? Maybe you’ll find that I died early trying to save you!”
“All Si, what are you talking about?” Mei Shu exclaimed in shock, her face drained of color. “You and I didn’t know each other in my previous life. You didn’t have to be implicated by me.”
“But now you and I are tied together.” He gently lifted her chin, their breaths mingling, inseparable. “Remember what I said, if you intend to give up your life, then I won’t live alone.”
“All Si, you really don’t have to do this. We’ve only known each other for a few months.” Mei Shu suddenly couldn’t imagine such a day would come, and she dared not even look at the screen next to him now.
But Lu Si was resolute with every word, “1 don’t care what you think, but for me, anyone I recognize, no matter how short our time together, cannot be an excuse for me to shirk responsibility. Since I chose you, I won’t regret it, no matter how much I lose for you, even my life.”
Mei Shu was shocked and speechless.
She always knew that Lu Si liked her very much, but she didn’t realize that this love had unknowingly expanded to such an extent.
Lu Si’s feelings were sincere and passionate, and she felt a sense of responsibility towards him in a daze.
If she had known it would come to this, she would rather not have started this relationship with him.
But to this day, she would not shirk her responsibility.
After the candid conversation with Lu Si, Mei Shu spent a peaceful period in the hospital, and most of her injuries had healed.
She applied to a university in Lincity and planned to continue balancing her life between the company and school.
Everything proceeded smoothly and orderly until one day Lu Si found her and told her that the man who had returned with Su Ling from the island had been found.
The Wenda’s Journey was the name given by Lu Si’s mother and her lover for their honeymoon.
Since Su Huai and her husband got married, they deliberately set aside a month each year for their wedding anniversary for the honeymoon trip. However, this time was a bit different. Su Ling brought a man to go with them on this trip.
“In fact, Su Ling and 1 were indeed in a romantic relationship at the time.” The man sat across from them, his expression somewhat solemn.
“We chose to travel with her sister and brother-in-law because the island they were going to was not usually open to the public. They only invited limited guests at specific times, and coincidentally, we had the same plan at that time, so we decided to travel together..”
