Chapter 68: Confession

Her lady seemed to enjoy a life of luxury, but only Glass knew how cautious and guarded she had to be and how much she suffered.

姑娘看着风光无限，过着锦衣玉食的生活，可是只有她知道姑娘过得有多小心谨慎，有多苦。

"No, he''s a decent man. He should not become involved with someone like me since he is a true gentleman who is as pure as the sun on fresh snow." Her lady took the tea, sat down, and started talking.

“不，他很好。他是真正的谦谦君子，如阳春白雪，不因该和我这种扯上任何关系。”姑娘接过茶水，坐到了椅子上道。

Like you, like me, I''ve also climbed high mountains to chase my dreams, only to find the road ahead shrouded in fog.

像你，像我，我也曾翻越高山把梦儿追，却见前路雾茫茫。

I''ve tried to learn from the apricot tree that blooms beyond the wall, but all I saw were bare branches in the cold winter.

我也曾学红杏出墙窥望，却只见寒冬枯树枝。

I''ve played the zither, singing songs of the phoenix seeking its mate, but all I found were layers of mi
