Extraordinary Soldier King in the City

Chapter 1698: Chen Feng’s Guilt

"I..."

Chen Feng was momentarily unsure of how to respond.

Because he would definitely choose to leave.

And the truth is so hurtful.

Yet Chen Feng couldn’t bear to hurt Lin Mengyao.

Even if it was the Lin Mengyao in his dream, Chen Feng still couldn’t bear to hurt her.

If Lin Mengyao were to become heartbroken,

Chen Feng would undoubtedly be heartache!

"Okay, I understand what you mean!"

Lin Mengyao nodded with reddened eyes, her small face full of sadness and disappointment.

"Yaoyao, I’m sorry!"

Chen Feng’s face was full of regret.

"No, don’t apologize to me, you haven’t wronged me, because you were never meant to belong here, you have the right to pursue your own happiness!"

Lin Mengyao shook her head and said.

"Yaoyao!"

Chen Feng pulled Lin Mengyao into his embrace and gently said:

"I’m really sorry, I love you very much, but precisely because I love you, I must return to my world, because only there do we have our true love, and here is just a dream."

"I can’t let go of everything just for my own selfish desires and stay here, I can’t do it. In my world, there are still many people waiting for me to return, they’re all waiting for me to go back, I have to return!"

Lin Mengyao shook her head with reddened eyes, smiling as she said:

"It’s okay, Chen Feng, I can understand you, although I don’t know what your so-called world is, I can understand your feelings, everyone has things they must do."

"I don’t blame you, even if one day you leave, I will still never forget that once, there was someone who stepped forward and saved me when I was about to die in the mouth of a fierce beast, in that moment, he was my hero, he will always be a hero in my heart, I’ll never forget him!"

As she spoke,

Lin Mengyao’s tears fell like a broken string of pearls.

Although she said it like this,

only she knew how much she was reluctant to let Chen Feng go.

She so wished Chen Feng could stay, accompany her for a lifetime, hand in hand, experiencing beautiful moments together.

She so hoped that Chen Feng could always protect her, be her hero.

But.

Lin Mengyao knew it was impossible!

Because she understood, Chen Feng did not belong to her, Chen Feng’s love did not belong to her either.

But belonged to another version of herself in the world Chen Feng spoke of.

To be honest.

This feeling was very strange and awkward.

If Chen Feng loved someone else, that would be understandable.

Yet it was herself, another self in another world.

It felt like she stole her own lover.

Lin Mengyao felt extremely upset inside.

However, she couldn’t change it and could only accept reality helplessly.

"Yaoyao, really...I’m sorry!"

At this moment, Chen Feng didn’t know what to say.

He could only apologize.

If he had known that it would cause them both such pain,

he would never have walked out of the woods and met the Lin Mengyao in his dreams.

Meeting, recognizing, loving yet unable to guard each other for a lifetime.

There is no greater pain in the world.

"It’s okay, Chen Feng, I’m really okay, being able to meet you, I’m already extremely satisfied!"

Lin Mengyao shook her head with reddened eyes, smiling as she said.

"Yaoyao, you..."

Chen Feng’s face was full of regret.

"Chen Feng, don’t say sorry anymore, you haven’t wronged anyone, on the contrary, I should thank you, thank you for saving me, thank you for giving me hope to continue living, so you don’t need to apologize to me, if it weren’t for you, I might not even exist now!"

Lin Mengyao pressed her index finger against Chen Feng’s lips, crying as she said.

"That was what I should have done!"

Chen Feng said with reddened eyes.

"But I still want to thank you, remember, when you go back, you must love me well, love the me in that world!"

Lin Mengyao said with tears flowing, yet smiling.

"I definitely will, Yaoyao, I will never let you down in this life!"

Chen Feng promised.

"Mmm, I believe in you!"

Lin Mengyao nodded and then looked at Chen Feng, a little reluctant and heartbroken as she asked, "When do you plan to leave? Leave here, this world, and return to your world?"

"I... will wait until I have safely brought you back to Coastal, then I’ll think of a way to leave!"

Chen Feng took a deep breath and said.

"So, the time we spend on the island will be our last moments together?"

Lin Mengyao asked, full of reluctance.

"I guess... yes!"

Chen Feng nodded.

"Alright, I understand, I will cherish this time well!"

Lin Mengyao said with a slightly blushing face.

Then, she directly pushed away from Chen Feng’s embrace and quickly walked into the cave.

Watching Lin Mengyao’s sad silhouette.

Chen Feng did not chase after her.

Because he knew Lin Mengyao was crying and didn’t want him to see.

Which suited Lin Mengyao’s proud personality.

In response,

Chen Feng shook his head helplessly.

When it came to dealing with emotions,

it was never his strong suit.

Yet now he had gotten himself into this situation.

He loved Lin Mengyao.

But now there were two Lin Mengyaos in front of him, for him to choose from.

One was the real Lin Mengyao.

The other was the Lin Mengyao in his dream.

Two people, who could be said to be the same person but indeed were two different people.

This was truly a difficult choice.

Taking a deep breath.

Chen Feng could only bury his emotions deep in his heart.

He had to take it one step at a time.

At the very least, he had to first bring Lin Mengyao back to Coastal before thinking about a way to leave.

With these thoughts,

Chen Feng shook his head, stayed outside the cave for a while, and then returned inside.

At this moment,

Lin Mengyao was already asleep.

But her small face was still filled with sadness.

Seeing this,

Chen Feng sighed and chose not to disturb Lin Mengyao, quietly laying down on the carpet and closed his eyes to sleep...

Half-asleep and half-awake,

it was unclear what time it was.

Chen Feng, who was sleeping, felt something warm and soft slip into his blanket and snuggle into his embrace.

Not thinking much of it, Chen Feng tightened his arms and continued sleeping.

He slept until the next morning...

"Ah!!!"

Along with a scream,

everyone in the cave suddenly opened their eyes.

And the owner of the scream was Lin Mengyao.

Because when she opened her eyes, she found she was not in the same blanket with Tang Yuxin and Sun Xiaoli, but in Chen Feng’s.

Most importantly, she was actually in Chen Feng’s embrace!
