Chapter 62: Her Identity 身世

"Clarify later? Why didn''t you clarify things from the very beginning? No, you''re familiar with the customs of your hometown. Why not prevent such issues proactively?

"Yes, I thought I had chances in it. As you said, Auntie, I''ve always felt a gap between us. Please believe me, I truly like her as who she is, and my love is solely for her alone, and not because of her background. Because my love for her is so strong, I inevitably become insecure when faced with something I can''t hold onto. I''m afraid of losing her, scared that my future won''t include her, frightened of losing the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
