I shook my head vigorously, trying to dispel those beautiful fantasies, as fear and unease took hold of my heart.
"I... I can't," I managed to utter those few words with great difficulty.
I fled from the lakeside, not daring to look back at Gu Heng even once.
I was afraid of seeing the disappointment and sadness in his eyes.
In the days that followed, Ruan Lang came to accompany Xie Yu every day, while Gu Heng never appeared again.
I forced a smile, pretending that nothing had happened, but in the quiet of the night, I licked my wounds in solitude.
One afternoon, while Xie Yu was napping, I was taking a stroll in the garden when Ruan Lang blocked my path.
"Xie Wan," Ruan Lang's voice was low and serious, "I have something to ask you."
I looked at him in confusion, unsure of what he wanted to know.
"Did you... also reincarnate?" Ruan Lang's tone carried a hint of probing.
I was taken aback for a moment before shaking my head.
"No," I answered truthfully.
"Then did you come from another world?" Ruan Lang continued to press.
I shook my head again.
"Not at all," I said firmly. "I have simply... awakened."
A flicker of surprise crossed Ruan Lang's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Awakened?" He repeated the words as if contemplating something.
"Yes," I explained. "I suddenly remembered things from my past life and realized the mistakes I had made."
Ruan Lang fell silent for a moment, then took a deep breath.
"Xie Wan," he looked at me, his gaze filled with complex emotions, "I... I have been reborn."
I stared at him in shock, momentarily at a loss for words.
Ruan Lang continued, "In my past life, I was indulgent and complacent, which led to the downfall of my family, and Xie Yu passed away because of it."
His tone was heavy with sorrow and regret.
"Xie Yu's illness was caused by me." Ruan Lang closed his eyes in pain. "She worked tirelessly to raise money for me, ultimately exhausting herself to the point of illness."
I looked at him in disbelief, unable to reconcile the gentle and refined young master Ruan with the failures of his past life.
"I watched helplessly as she perished," Ruan Lang's voice trembled. "Afterward, I lived in sorrow, spending my remaining days in regret."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "Xie Wan, do you know? Gu Heng was not entirely unaware of your schemes back then."
My breath caught in my throat as I stared at Ruan Lang in shock.
"I told him the truth," Ruan Lang explained.
"Gu Heng and I are brothers," he said, looking at me with a gaze full of complex emotions. "I didn't want him to fall victim to your design."
"He knew the truth all along but chose to endure in silence," Ruan Lang's tone was layered with complexity. "Because he loved you more than anything else."
I looked at him in disbelief, feeling as if my entire worldview was crumbling.
"A Wan," Ruan Lang said meaningfully, "you are the key to fate. Every move you make will affect the destinies of everyone around you."
Ruan Lang's words detonated like a bomb in my heart, shattering me into pieces.
My understanding of the world was completely overturned, filled with chaos and disbelief.
Ruan Lang's confession gave me a new perspective on Gu Heng and the entire incident.
