It was so hard to persuade someone to change his mind.
Lucas wasn't good at this, yet he didn't want to hurt her either. He gently patted her shoulder and whispered, "Don't come here lately, I have all kinds of suspicions now, it's not good for you if you come."
"I don't care! Lucas, do you think I look for you because of this?"
She was heartbroken.
She was unwilling!
Extremely unwilling!
However, he was so indifferent. What should she do?
"Lucas, give me a chance, okay? You can compare me and Yasmeen ..."
"No need to compare. Michele, you’re who you are, and the same thing goes for her. Everyone has his own good. I’ve no idea what I like about her, I just know that I'm used to having her around. She's been around me since I was four or five years old. To put it mildly, she pulled my trousers down that time in the gents. Michele, I'm a traditional man as you know."
His words stopped her tears from falling.
"Four or five years old? You’re just a child! Lucas, your reasoning is a bit far-fetched!"
"But I remember it. Whenever I think of my whole body being seen clearly by her, I can't look at other girls. Michele, you're a very nice girl, but we can only be brother and sister."
She looked at his serious look. As she was about to say that children's playfulness could not be taken seriously, she realized that he was serious at this moment.
So, had he begun to like Yasmeen at the age of four or five?
Just because she had pulled down his trousers and seen his naked body before?
Michele felt that her world fell apart.
What kind of poor reason was this?
But then she felt that this reason was so real and serious in his eyes.
Was it her fault that she wasn’t rude and didn't barge in to take a look at him while he was in the shower?
She gradually felt that she had lost in such a ridiculous way.
Her tears fell uncontrollably in a silent yet heartbreaking way.
"Michele, don't be like this."
"Lucas, what are you going to do? You know you'll be summoned for this matter. Are you really willing to do this for her?"
Her hands were tightly clasped together.
She knew about the punishment clearly. They would really have no chance to see each other again once the result was released.
They had been together for these ten years. What would happen to her if he left?
"Lucas, I don't want to let you go. You said you would stay in the army for the rest of your life, stay with me and help my father to stand guard in the military. How can you just leave like this?"
Lucas suddenly felt a bit sad.
He drew a few pieces of tissue paper, handed them to her, and whispered, "Michele, can you leave this matter alone?"
"No!"
How could she leave the matter alone?
If she didn't do so, he would really leave!
As Lucas couldn't convince her, he felt a headache.
He couldn't help but think of Yasmeen.
As both were confessing to him, Yasmeen was so domineering while Michele made him feel heartbroken and guilty.
Surely he was used to being bullied by Yasmeen and he liked her dominance.
As she noticed that he got distracted, she felt even more upset.
"My dad asked me to tell you to stay here for the next few days. Don't worry about anything else, I will stay here and take care of you."

Does the author have write the full names of the characters all the time...it's annoying...we are reading the book, we know their surnames already.......
What is it with Chinese authors. The characters are slow, he finally opened his mouth, it took him so long just to say two words...the house keeper would have put the person out before he even spoke....is this really how people are over there..the characters are always lost in thought, they might as well live in their heads.....
