An Luo Wei (Wei Wei) knelt on the floor of the storage room. Cold.
But she didn't feel cold.
She only felt... pain.
Su Jin's diary... each word, each word... was proof of her (stupid) innocence and his silent endurance.
He hesitated! He chose to save Nhuan Ngoc, abandoning that stupid Wei Wei!
Everything... was true.
He didn't betray her. He just... hesitated. One second of hesitation... to save someone else.
And she... because of that one second... hated him for thirty thousand years.
"Ah..."
A sob broke out.
What had she done?
She had called him a "liar".
She had run away from him.
She used coldness to punish him.
She... even refused to acknowledge their happy memories.
Bei Shen Jing...
While he was suffering the injustice of "betrayal", he still patiently looked for her, protected her, "raised" her, even accepted his "apology" for "tricking" her into marrying her.
How much pain... did he have to endure?
No.
She had to see him. Immediately.
Wei Wei hurriedly stood up, staggering out of the room. She no longer cared about "Phantom", no longer cared about Tinh Nguyet.
She only wanted to see him!
She rushed out to the 108th Floor office. It was empty.
"Lu Bei Shen!" She called out in panic.
Assistant Zhang, who had been standing outside anxiously, rushed in. "Young... Young Madam? You... what's wrong with you?"
He was stunned to see her face covered in tears, but they were not tears of hatred, but of extreme regret.
"Where is he?" Wei Wei grabbed Assistant Zhang's hand and pleaded. "Where is Lu Beichen? Did he go to a meeting?"
"No... no." Assistant Zhang stammered. "President Lu... he's on the rooftop. He said... he needs some air..."
He's waiting.
Waiting... for her verdict.
Wei Wei let go of Assistant Zhang and rushed towards the private elevator, pressing the Rooftop button.
The elevator seemed to fly up. Her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
Clang.
The elevator door opened.
Wind.
The wind was very strong.
And... he stood there.
Lu Beichen, or Beichen Jing, stood at the edge of the rooftop, his back facing her, looking down at the vast S city.
His back was tall, but lonely.
The loneliness of thirty thousand years.
He knew she had arrived. He heard the sound of the elevator.
But he did not turn around.
He... was afraid.
The Emperor was afraid.
He was afraid that she had read the truth, but... still chose not to forgive.
"Bac Than Canh..."
Her voice trembled, broken, calling his real name.
Luc Bac Than's entire body stiffened.
He slowly... slowly turned around.
His eyes looked at her, containing too many emotions that she could not read: pain, hope, fear, and a love... thickening.
"Vi Vi..."
He saw her. Saw her face covered in tears.
But those were not tears of hatred.
Vi Vi could not say another word.
She just... ran.
She ran, using all her strength, rushing across the windy rooftop.
She ran straight...
And crashed into his chest.
BAM!
Luc Bac Than was stunned for a second...
Before...
His arms tightened, hugging her tightly, as if he wanted to carve her into his bones. He hugged her so tightly that she could barely breathe.
"You..." His voice trembled, burying his face in her hair. "You... trust me?"
"I'm sorry!" Vi Vi screamed, her tears bursting in his chest. "I'm sorry... I didn't know! I'm so stupid! I..."
"I hated you... I'm sorry, Canh... I'm sorry..."
"It's not too late."
Di Quan... was crying. His body trembled.
"As long as you come back... Thirty thousand years... it's not too late."
He hugged her tightly. The grievances, the waiting, the loneliness of thirty thousand years... all disappeared in this embrace.
They stood there, in the windy sky, hugging each other as if tomorrow was the end of the world.
After a long while, he let her go a little, just enough to look at her face. He raised his trembling hand, wiping away the tears of regret on her cheeks.
"Vi Vi... my Flower God."
"Canh..." She hiccupped, "Your Emperor."
And he... kissed her.
Not a confused kiss of release.
Not a kiss of possession.
This was a kiss of "returning".
Salty with tears, but... sweet with forgiveness.
The broken mirror... finally healed.
