290 A lone tear of regret.

Just as Qi Shuai had known Yi Lan the best, Yi Lan has also known him in the ways no one has ever. Maybe even better than her own brother.

When a person knows you in this deep way, they are capable enough to bring you the pains that no one else could. But Yi Lan has never thought that she would ever be that type of person for Qi Shuai. She has never thought that one day she would be the one who would bring back the pain that she has once helped the man hard to forget.

That has never been in her plans! Even not in her last dreams!

She regretted the moment it came to her lips. But it has already been too late to take her words back as the man sharply bit back at her.
