Can't Let Go

“Nancy...” Laura, sitting beside her, reached out her hand and touched hers, saying, “What’s the matter? Is everything okay?”

Nancy Xi took a glance at those who cast a concerned look at her. And she turned furious when she noticed the sinner was having his dinner leisurely by the table.

“Well, I’m fine, I just bit my tongue...” She gave an awkward smile and tapped Laura’s hand to show that she’s okay.

Then she slowly sat down.

Apparently, she moved the chair a little bit backward.

“Aunt, you’re really good at cooking! You eat more, you’re too thin.” Laura took some food to her and beamed.

On seeing her lovely smiley face, Nancy Xi ‘s rage faded away.

But she was still bearing extremely hatred toward the man sitting right in front of her.

“Okay. You, you also have more.” After Nancy was given a fried chicken leg, she started to chew some with her head lowered.

Nancy’s parents were really fond of Laura that they chatted with her all the time during the meal.

Besides, her mother really felt sorry for her because of her past.

40 minutes later.

The dinner was over.

“It’s still early for you to go to bed. You two sweethearts have a rest and I’ll prepare some dessert for you.” Nancy’s mother smiled and headed to the kitchen.

“Aunt, well, I’m full.” Laura hurried to say with her eyebrows slightly twisted.

For her belly was stuffed with food that there was no room for extra sweets or drinks.

Nancy Xi took her hand and traipsed to the garden with Laura, “That’s okay. You can bring what you can’t have home. My mother seldom makes desserts, which will be incredibly delicious if prepared by her.

Laura held Nancy’s arm and giggled, “Wow, Nancy, that’s awesome! I’ve never tasted my mother’s food.”

“Just come to my home when you wanna have a bite of home－made dishes. See, my mother is really fond of you!” Nancy Xi was glad that her mom liked Laura, which meant that this was a true friend of hers.

Laura’s face flushed.

Nancy Xi led her and they both sat on the hammock.

Both of them looked up at the night sky.

The full moon was stunning beautiful tonight, which was like beaming silently to them from above.

“Nancy, do you think there’s really a goddess of the moon?”

Nancy stared at the moon, pondered for a while and replied, “I guess there is.”

“But why she didn’t allow Hou Yi to become a celestial being? Is she happy to be immortal when her lover is not around?” She looked to Nancy and asked. (Hou Yi： a celestial archer in ancient Chinese legend.)

Nancy Xi was suddenly stuck.

Then she moved her lips and slowly replied, “If it was me, I would wanna be a celestial being.”

“Ah?” Laura was greatly surprised, “Why? Don’t you wanna have a man who you love? Why you have to be all alone?”

Nancy Xi chuckled and pitched her soft cheek, “Little fool, you can’t have the best of the both worlds, okay? I don’t have more desire in this life, so I only wish I could get away like the goddess of the moon.”

It was her dream to leave this place and this devious man.
