"Yes." Liang Qing nodded firmly.

Indeed, what Li Yang said gave her a better understanding of her past with Qin Zhouyu, and deeply touched her heart.

However, this does not mean that she agrees with the view implied in Li Yang's words that she can influence the fate of Li Yang and Qin Zhouyu's relationship.

She suddenly found it somewhat amusing. "Do you really think he'll be with you just because I ask?"

Li Yang immediately replied, "I never thought that if you gave him to me, he would be with me."

"I just want a possibility, a possibility that he will fall in love with me."

"And only you can provide this possibility."

"As long as you tell him that there is no possibility between you two anymore, and even hope that he is with someone else, he will definitely listen to you and forget about you."

Listening to Li Yang's naive words, Liang felt somewhat helpless. "You've got it wrong from the beginning. I have no power to decide his feelings, you understand? His feelings can only depend on himself."

Li Yang immediately retorted, "But you can decide his actions, and I can see that he's willing to do anything for you."

"His sudden decision to go to England was for you, wasn't it?" Li Yang continued with certainty, "He left because you chose Yan Su. Based on my understanding of him, I think he did this so as not to affect you two."

As Liang listened to her words, his expression became dazed for a moment.

Just a moment ago she thought Li Yang was just talking nonsense out of naivety, but now she couldn't think that way anymore.

Because what she said was indeed the reason Qin Zhouyu had told her before that he was leaving.

But how could she possibly control Qin Zhouyu's actions?

She tried to persuade him to stay, but he refused.

She told him to stop bothering her, but he didn't listen.

Liang Qing was still in a daze when Li Yang spoke again, "Judging from your reaction, I think I was right, wasn't I?"

"Since I'm right, please don't think I'm joking with you anymore."

Her words concealed displeasure, clearly indicating that she had also realized that Liang Qing hadn't taken her words to heart at all, treating them as mere jokes.

Liang understood, but made no attempt to explain.

She had composed herself, adopted a distant demeanor, and said firmly, "Whether what you say is true or false, I will not agree to a competition where this purpose is used as a wager."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door. This time, Li Yang didn't stop her directly, but shouted behind her, "Liang Qing!"

"Are you really, as you say, unwilling to treat people as gamblers...?"

Li Yang took a deep breath and continued shouting, "It's still because you still love Zhou Yu!"

Her resolute tone made Liang Qing stop in his tracks and stand still.

Liang Qing's heart pounded, and a feeling of panic washed over her.

Does she love him?

He was indeed special to her.

But is this love?

Even without regaining her memories, does she, in her current state, still love him?

For a moment, she was in a state of utter confusion and could barely maintain her feigned composure.

The sound of Li Yang's footsteps behind her grew closer and closer; she couldn't let Li Yang know her true thoughts.

After all, she is still Yan Su's girlfriend on the surface. If Li Yang finds out something is wrong, there's no guarantee she won't investigate their relationship for Qin Zhouyu's sake.

If Li Yang finds out anything, it will create another problem.

With only a week left until her appointment with Yan Su, she couldn't afford to cause any trouble at this crucial moment.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Liang Qingwei said, turning slightly to Li Yang who was walking forward. "But I'm telling you, don't bother me with this anymore."

“Now I can tell you clearly that even if Zhou Yu is willing to do anything for me as you say, I will never make him do anything he doesn’t want to do.”

"He will soon be going to England, and soon he will begin a new chapter in his life."

Soon, he will be free.

The things about her mother and her father are almost buried deep and will never affect her again.

Liang Qing raised her eyes, her tone becoming serious, "If you really like him as much as you say, you should let him do what he wants to do."

Her coldness did not scare Li Yang away; she was clearly not buying Liang Qing's act, nor would she back down.

She persisted, "Do you think going to England is something he wants to do?"

Liang Qing turned her head to face the door so that Li Yang wouldn't see her face.

She gazed at the rows of streetlights outside the door, biting her trembling lower lip hard to stop it from shaking. "I choose to respect him."

After saying that, she didn't give Li Yang a chance to speak, quickened her pace, stepped out the door, and disappeared from Li Yang's sight.

The moment Liang Qing stepped out of the door, she thought she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but she never expected to run into Qin Zhouyu and Huo Shi in front of the wall to the left of the door.

Huo Shi was clearly taken aback by her sudden appearance, her expression shifting from panic to embarrassment.

He covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly, then gave a stiff smile. "What a coincidence, to meet you here."

Compared to his initial panic followed by feigned composure, Qin Zhouyu's composure was almost bizarre.

From the moment Liang Qing appeared in their sight until now, he hasn't moved an inch, and there's not even the embarrassment of being caught eavesdropping on someone.

Liang Qing was stunned when she saw them.

When did they get here? How much of what she and Li Yang said just now did they hear?

She glanced at the riding gear they were carrying and asked, "When did you arrive?"

Just as Huo Shi was about to explain, Li Yang, who had been left in the room, also came out. She was also taken aback when she saw them.

Upon seeing Li Yang, Qin Zhouyu, who had remained silent throughout, finally made a move.

He took the clothes from Liang Qing's hands and stuffed them, along with the ones he was holding, into Huo Shi's hands.

Huo Shi and he exchanged a glance, and Huo Shi nodded to him.

He then grabbed Liang Qing's hand and, without saying a word, led her away from there.

Huo Shi, who had stayed behind, originally intended to leave on her own, but seeing Li Yang still standing by the door staring blankly in the direction they had left, she politely said, "It's windy tonight, I'll take you home."

Li Yang snapped out of her daze and instantly reverted to her usual taciturn demeanor. "Thank you for your trouble."

Her rapid change of expression surprised even Huo Shi. If he hadn't overheard her conversation with Liang Qing, he would never have imagined that those words came from the mouth of this seemingly quiet and introverted girl.

What was the purpose of her disguise?

Was she feigning ignorance out of wishful thinking that he hadn't heard her?

Or was the woman who was inside with Liang Qing just now her disguise?

Despite having a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Huo Shi maintained a friendly demeanor on the surface, smiling and saying, "You're too kind."
