Chapter 70: Confession

唯有把自己越陷越深。

There''s no way back from this dead end, so I can only cherish every hair on my body and fight for survival.

死胡同中无退路，我唯有爱惜毛发拼命求生。

This is a road of no return, so why bother humiliating oneself and seeking misery?

这是一条无归路，何必自取其辱自寻苦楚？

As a rootless grass, why should I add new scars to my life?

我本是那无根的草，何必再添新伤痕？

A girl with a bitter fate has no choice but to endure the wind and rain.

苦命的姑娘无选择，任风吹来任雨淋。

Originally, I stole a lowly life; why should I expect a shelter from the wind and rain?

本是偷来贱命一条，何必奢求遮风避雨的棚？

In life, it''s essential to know oneself.

人活在世，贵在自知。

……

On the islet in the river a pair of turtledoves is cooing.

关关雎鸠在河之洲

A fair lady is a gentleman''s good mate.

窈窕淑女君子好逑

A ragged fringe is floating left and right.

参差荇菜 左右流之

A gentleman yearns for a fair lady day and night.

窈窕淑女寤寐求之

At first, she could not believe that he would fall for her. She still found it hard to believe even after he confessed his feelings. She desperately wanted to believe him, but after spending years seeing innumerable identical instances, she could not do so.

刚开始她不信他会喜欢上她，后来他告白时，她还是不信，哪怕心里真信，可是这么多年待

在那个地方，见了那么多类似的事，她还是不能信。

She was emotionally attached to him even though she had her doubts. Nevertheless, being around him always made her feel inferior.

她不信他，但是自己是有情的，对他有情，但是在他面前，她一直自惭形秽。

Love? Maybe now he really does adore me.

爱?也许他现在真的爱我?

What if he regrets it later?

可是他若以后后悔怎么办?
