They were at a tense impasse for a moment. Xu Su's willpower had never been her strong suit, and she couldn't resist reaching out to tug on his arm. "Are you mad?" she whispered.
Zhou Mochen stood perfectly still, the rims of his eyes red from suppressed emotion. "Susu, how could you promise your next life to someone else?"
'She claims to love me, yet she's pledging her next life to another man right in front of my face.'
"Can you please be reasonable?" Xu Su pulled him down to sit and explained earnestly, "Think about it. The fact that Xi Zirong and I were lovers in one of the worlds is a confirmed reality. Since it's already a fact, how can you call it a promise?"
Afraid he'd get bogged down in the details, Xu Su explained with immense patience, "The world where I was with Xi Zirong was the original starting point. Then you, for whatever reason, were reborn and prevented me from falling in love with him, stealing me away for yourself."
