Even if they wanted to salvage this relationship, Lou Xiaoe might not be willing. She now seemed more inclined to exist outside of their world. In her heart, her parents believed she was pouring her entire soul into He Yuzhu’s life.
"Mom, I can’t give up. If I could have, I would have let go years ago."
Lou Xiaoe nestled against her mother, the two sitting in chairs by the dining table. She wanted to make her thoughts clear to her mother. Over the years, she had come to understand the predicament He Yuzhu faced. If one day he could no longer hold on, he might choose to leave, simply because he was unwilling to continue bearing the pressure from her parents. He Yuzhu had already done everything that could reasonably be expected of him, and Lou Xiaoe was well aware of that. Consequently, it was clear that He Yuzhu could not accept certain behaviors from her parents. Since he could not accept them, they had no choice but to stand their ground.
