Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 488: The Final Confession

"No~

Song Yi, do you think, they might have already~"

The man didn’t answer the question directly, but instead took her hand, assuring her sincerely.

"Yuanyuan, I can’t interfere with other people’s issues.

But you are my life, you absolutely mustn’t be harmed."

"I know, don’t worry.

Even in front of others, I am still very strong," she said.

Her words slightly moved the man.

"So, have you let your guard down completely with me?"

"Otherwise, what? Song Yi, you must never let me down!"

Upon hearing this, the man nearly swore an oath to the sky.

...

While warmth pervaded this side, Jiang Yuan and He Lan on the opposite side were fraught with worry.

"Senior brother, this rain of bugs isn’t stopping, will it drown us?"

Her voice already carried a sobbing tone.

"Don’t be scared, you are behind me, back to back with me.

Keep an eye on the window over there, and if there’s any danger, just call me."

Jiang Yuan was holding an ignition gun, aimed towards the door.

This side, comparatively, was the weaker link.

"Senior brother, I’m a little scared...

"Don’t be scared, He Lan, you need to be strong.

Think about it, your mom is still waiting for you to come home."

Mentioning this made her hold back her tears no longer, and she started crying.

The overwhelming sadness, suppression, and fear of making noise were heart-wrenching.

The inside of the house was still safe for now, so Jiang Yuan quickly turned to her.

"Lanlan, I’m sorry, I haven’t taken good care of you.

I should have sent you away right away, it’s all my fault."

His self-blame was also genuine.

He Lan had stayed behind because of him.

But now, with each passing minute, their lives were at risk, how could he not feel devastated.

He Lan liked him, although he had always avoided the issue.

But he was aware of how much the girl had done for him.

"Senior brother, it’s not that, I chose to stay here to be with you.

Being with you, even if I die, it would be worth it," He Lan said, and reached out to hug him.

Jiang Yuan was somewhat rigid, but he did not pull away.

"I’m sorry, I’ve put you in danger."

In the past, Jiang Yuan would have never let her get close.

This time, he didn’t pull away.

"I won’t allow you to talk like this, it’s all my own doing.

Who made me fall for you first? Senior brother, do you know?

That year, you were a senior, and I was a freshman.

I had just arrived at the school and saw you on the sports field.

Why were you so handsome~

I decided then, this person has to be the father of my children."

Tears not yet dry, mixed with a smile, it was somewhat heartbreaking.

Yet each time she recounted that scene, He Lan’s eyes sparkled.

It seemed she really was in love.

"But, you didn’t like me. I asked for your contact details and you didn’t give them to me.

I was even mad at the time, thinking how could there be such a cold guy.

Rejecting someone as cute and pretty as me, what’s wrong with your eyesight?"

At this, Jiang Yuan also began to smile.

"Later on, I ran into you again, in my mom’s lab.

Only, you were Uncle Feng’s student at the time."

"Yes, at that time I had just been admitted for my postgraduate study, all my focus was on research, I simply had no time and energy to consider anything else."

He Lan seemed dissatisfied, nuzzling her face against his chest some more.

"It’s not just then, it’s been the same up until now. I like you, but you never give me a second glance.

"People say where there is true devotion, even metal and stone will crack, but I’ve tried so hard for so long, and you’ve been just like a piece of wood."

Completely unmoved, until I saw Sister Jhiang Yuan’s picture.

That’s when I knew, your heart had its moonlight."

As she spoke, tears silently began to fall from her eyes.

"Brother, please don’t leave me, okay?

Without you, I can’t survive."

Jiang Yuan was truly panicking now, he didn’t know how to handle this situation.

"Lanlan, since you know how I feel, why do you still ask me this?"

The gentlest people often say the most hurtful things.

"But, it’s different now.

Sister Jhiang Yuan has her own boyfriend, and Song Yi really loves her.

Yesterday, you saw it too, they came out of the same room.

Brother, look at me, the person you love has found her place.

Can you please let go of the past now?"

He Lan’s words were soaked in tears, while Jiang Yuan bowed his head, looking at her.

His eyes, too, were slightly moist.

His Yuanyuan, she belonged to someone else now.

Perhaps, she had never belonged to him to begin with.

In the end, we are all trapped by the youthful loves we cannot have, for a lifetime.

If I had been a bit braver, a bit sooner, could there have been a different outcome?

"Lanlan, I’m sorry, I can’t let her go."

"I know you can’t let her go, but now, we’re about to die soon.

Jhiang Yuan has Song Yi, can’t you give me a chance..."

"But..."

"I’m willing, brother, I am willing.

I know she’s the only one in your heart, but I don’t care.

As long as you are by my side, as long as you are willing to try to accept me, my life hasn’t been in vain."

As she spoke, she held him even tighter.

Jiang Yuan also felt overwhelmed. Whether it was academic research or experiments, those were no issue for him.

But this matter was truly difficult for him.

Looking at the girl holding on to him, his heart also pained.

Given the circumstances outside, there was absolutely no chance of survival.

It was just a matter of how long they could last, and thinking of this, he sighed heavily.

"Alright, Lanlan, if we get through this danger, I will marry you."

"What?"

This time it was He Lan’s turn to be surprised; they hadn’t even dated, and now they were talking about marriage.

But she was instantly overjoyed.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, I am. I might need some time to grow to love you, but I..."

"I’m willing, Brother, I’ve said it before, I am all in.

You don’t need to say anymore, I am truly happy."

With that, she buried her head in his chest.

Listening to his heartbeat, she felt an unparalleled sense of peace in that moment.

"Brother, do you know?

I’ve always hoped for this day, sometimes, I even dream about it.

I never thought it would happen under these circumstances.

But, I’m truly happy.

You are everything to me, a ray of light in my life.

I love you so much!"

Listening to He Lan’s sweet confession, Jiang Yuan was also moved.

This junior sister, always so vivacious.

He had known that, but he didn’t expect her to love him this deeply.

"Lanlan, if we don’t survive this, will you regret it?"

"Not at all."

"Then okay, wait for me, I’m going to say goodbye to Jhiang Yuan."

Upon hearing this, He Lan looked up at him.

"Brother, what do you mean?"
