<h4>Chapter 1452: Chapter 1452 the truth of five years ago</h4>


    After ye Ling said that, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.


    She bit the corner of her lips and didn’t dare to look at Jiang Qiran’s expression at this moment.


    What would qiran think of her?


    Five years ago, she was the one who left so decisively and mercilessly. But five yearster, if she were Jiang Qiran, she probably wouldn’t believe her own words either.


    If she really liked someone, why would she want to hurt them so deeply?


    ..


    Ye Ling’s heart ached. She lowered her head slightly, and a hint of pain shed across her beautiful eyes.


    On the other side, when Jiang Qiran heard ye Ling mention this topic, his brows instantly furrowed.


    He reached out and pulled ye Ling, who had her eyes lowered.


    “Ling, what happened five years ago is in the past. I don’t want to pursue it anymore. Let’s just live well now, okay?”


    Hearing Jiang Qiran’s gentle words, Ye Ling raised her eyes in a daze.


    Jiang Qiran’s furrowed brows had already rxed, as if it was extremely calm.


    However, did Jiang Qiran really not care about what happened five years ago at all?


    The answer was that it was impossible.


    If he really didn’t care, then Jiang Qiran probably wouldn’t have the expression of gnashing his teeth when he bumped into her in that restaurant. Instead, he should have really, indifferently passed by.


    ..


    Ye Ling’s long hair fell over her shoulders. She subconsciously hugged Jiang Qiran’s skinny waist. A heavy and painful emotion slowly brewed in the bottom of her heart.


    “Qiran... can you let me finish?”


    Jiang Qiran’s expression froze. The fist hidden under the nket slowly tightened.


    “Okay.”


    Jiang Qiran tried his best to sound calmer.


    But Ye Ling was right. How could he not care? !


    That matter was destined to be a knot in Ye Ling’s heart and his heart forever.


    Butpared to caring about the pain of the past, the world was peaceful. Keeping this girl by his side was Jiang Qiran’s most urgent wish.


    So, for the sake of the present and the future, he would rather throw the past to the back of his mind!


    He had long lost to a girl called ye Ling, so why not lose even morepletely?


    ..


    Ye Lingy in Jiang Qiran’s embrace. She only felt that Jiang Qiran’s body was slightly stiff, but she did not know that Jiang Qiran’s emotions were boiling like water at this moment.


    “Qiran, when I first met you, I fell in love with you. At that time, I was infatuated with your handsome appearance. Later on... When we got along day and night, I was infatuated with the gentleness you showed me under your cold appearance.”


    As Ye Ling spoke, her starry eyes could not help but blink, and a hint of confusion shed across her expression.


    She was truly at an age where she did not know how to worry about time. She was very lucky to have met Jiang Qiran at that time.


    This was the greatest reward that God had given her.


    Even if it ended in such an unbearable manner.


    She was just like Cindere in a fairy tale. After some time, she lost her crystal shoes, and she also lost the prince who liked her.


    Fortunately, they still had a chance to start everything over again.


    ..


    Ye Ling recalled the days when Jiang Qiran had pushed her to brush up on the questions. She recalled the days when they had taught together in plum blossom vige, and her eyes were filled with sweetness


    “At that time, I always thought that you were the best person. In fact, I still feel the same way, but –”


    Jiang Qiran listened quietly and did not interrupt ye Ling’s words. He only heard ye Ling’s turn, and the dark jade-like color in his eyes changed even more deeply.


    Ye Ling took a deep breath and waspletely unaware of Jiang Qiran’s change.


    “But, Qiran, you should be able to tell... actually, i... I have a little inferiorityplex.”


    Jiang Qiran’s expression turned cold as if he didn’t expect ye Ling to say this. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to console ye Ling.


    “Ling...”


    Without waiting for him to say anything else, ye ling stretched out her slender fingers and pressed them against Jiang Qiran’s lips.


    “Qiran, can you listen to Me First?”


    “It’s really hard for me to muster up the courage to dissect my own heart with others.”


    The girl’s fingers were slender, and the gentle touch on her lips subtly soothed Jiang Qiran’s emotions.


    Jiang Qiran shut his mouth and didn’t say a word.


    Ye Ling sorted out her emotions,ughed at herself, and continued.


    “I grew up in a small deste vige. I was an orphan who had no parents and was abandoned by others. You might not be able to imagine how many people had looked down on me since I was young, so while I was stubborn, I also felt inferior to my bones


    “Knowing you and Miao Miao was like a gift from heaven. Can you imagine that? I really don’t want to lose you and Miao Miao.”


    Jiang Qiran’s cheeks slowly tightened. He pursed his thin lips and did not say a word.


    Ye Ling, on the other hand, seemed to be especially afraid of the cold. She hugged Jiang Qiran’s waist even harder.


    “Can you understand that feeling? It’s like a person who is especially afraid of thirst falling into the desert. He thought he was going to die, but in the end, he was lucky enough to meet an oasis.”


    “I was very afraid that all of this was a mirage, but in the end, I was the one who destroyed all of it.”


    Jiang Qiran remained silent, but his heart felt as if it had been stabbed.


    He and Jiang Miaomiao treated ye ling well, so how could it be a Mirage? !


    ..


    Ye Ling raised her eyes bitterly, and when she saw Jiang Qiran’s cold and restrained expression, she finally could not hold back her tears.


    “But I didn’t want to! Qiran, I really didn’t want to!”


    “I didn’t want to say those words to anger you, and I didn’t want such a tragic ident to happen to you. Qiran, I don’t expect you to forgive me. It’s just that I really didn’t do it on purpose.”


    “Now that I’m trying to justify these things, it seems like I’m being very pretentious, right?”


    Ye Ling wiped the tears off her face. She looked at Jiang Qiran in confusion and sadness. The Tears on her face were overflowing.


    Jiang Qiran quietly looked at the embarrassed tears on Ye Ling’s face. Finally, he reached out his hand and wiped away the tears on Ye Ling’s face bit by bit.


    In the dark night, his voice was faint and contained a hint of forbearance.


    “Ling, actually, at that time, I was waiting for your call.”


    “But in the end, I waited for such a result.”


    Ye Ling’s face froze. It was as if blood was flowing out of her heart. The pain made it difficult for her to breathe.


    “I’ve always wanted you to tell me that you had your difficulties and had been waiting for me. At that time, I naively thought that you would definitelye and visit me before I was discharged from the hospital.”


    Jiang Qiran described it simply. He reached out to wipe the tears that kept flowing down ye Ling’s face. The smile on his face was also bleak.


    “Now, I’ve finally waited for this result. It’s just that I was five years toote.”


    “My father once told me that if you weren’t willing to visit me, no matter why, you weren’t worthy of my love.”


    When Ye Ling heard this, it was as if someone had used a sharp weapon to stab her heart again.


    All her guilt became insignificant. If she could make up for Jiang Qiran’s pain, she wished that she hadn’t done so many wrong things.


    However, a mistake was a mistake.


    The past could not be pursued.


    Ye Ling sobbed.


    “Then why don’t you ask me what the reason is?”
