Chapter 469 Rejection

“Prediction?” Wu Xunsheng’s heartbeat quickened a bit, but his expression did not change. He said, “The world is unpredictable, so let’s not make predictions.”

“For some things, the parties involved already know the consequences before they happen, but due to the circumstances, it is not appropriate to explain it clearly.” Tie Hongyan said.

Wu Xunsheng thought: Did she see that I knew we couldn’t be together? But I didn’t reveal anything!

He asked tentatively, “Why do you say that?”

“I’m talking about myself.” Tie Hongyan said.

Wu Xunsheng first opened his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief, then he felt that the situation was strange and that Tie Hongyan was strange. But he understood that Tie Hongyan meant that they could not be together in the future, and he felt relieved, so he asked: “You said this, telling me the future you predicted, is it a rejection of me?”

“Actually, I know I don’t have the chance to refuse at all.” Tie Hongyan said.

Wu Xunsheng was a little nervous again, feeling that she seemed to know something about him, and said, “Is it… that what I just said made you feel…” Wu Xunsheng stopped here.

“You finally said half a sentence again. What’s the rest of the sentence? Tell me.” When Tie Hongyan said this, he thought to himself: You know, I always like to hear you hesitantly say only half a sentence, and then ask you the second half.

Wu Xunsheng said: “I mean… did what I said just now make you feel that I am not sincere enough?”

Tie Hongyan didn’t mean that at first, but when he asked, he said, “You were sincere when you said those words just now, right?”

“Yes! I really like you!” Wu Xunsheng blurted out. But after he said it, he was filled with guilt, not because he lied to her, but because he felt that he should not like her in any way. He realized that it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to control his thoughts and actions because of his feelings for her. He also realized that this was very scary and might lead to big mistakes in the future. Therefore, at a certain moment, he had an impulse to tell her that he had never liked her, although he understood that she meant that she had rejected him, and whether he told her that he had never liked her, she would not develop a relationship with him. On the surface, it seemed that saying that sentence was redundant, but he knew that only by saying that sentence could he truly control his thoughts and actions, throw away that sense of guilt, and truly have no connection with her in the spiritual world. However, he was afraid that Tie Hongyan, who had just spoken lightly about life and death, would be stimulated again and do something extreme, so he swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Tie Hongyan said: “In fact, when I said that I had no chance to refuse, it was not because I doubted your sincerity.”

“Then you mean…”

Tie Hongyan went on to say: “God will not give me the opportunity to refuse. Only when something is within my control can I choose whether to refuse. If I know before I make a choice that God will refuse for me in the near future, then the right to refuse will never belong to me.”

Wu Xunsheng wanted to ask why the heavens rejected her, but he was worried that if he asked, it would be detrimental to the outcome, so he just nodded and said, “I know.”
