Chapter 69: Confession

t, though he is actually near.

他虽然尽在我的咫尺实则却有天涯般遥远。

It''s not that I''m overly protective of myself, But some pain for others is just superficial. But on us, it''s a bone-piercing pain."

非是我过分爱惜自己的羽毛，而是同样的痛在别人身上是皮毛之痛，但是若落在我们身上，就是骨血之痛呀！”

In his eyes, she was just a speck of dust.

她在他面前，不过是一粒微尘。

“我们这样的人是不能犯这样的错误的，我们承担不起，你明白吗？”

Her heart, however, was tumultuous like a stormy sea. Although she could see through everything and act decisively, she was, after all, just a young girl.

心里却如翻江倒海般难受，她虽然看得通透，也做得干净利落，可是她倒底还只是一个小姑娘，而那公子无论人品相貌和所思所想，他一切的一切都是自己魂牵梦绕的人儿，自己再如何聪慧，终究也只是一个寻常女儿身，如何能不动心？只可惜她有心无力空折磨。

I''ve also peered over the wall like a red apricot, but I''m afraid all it''s doing is making the snow even colder and experiencing the piercing cold.

我也曾学红杏出墙窥望，又怕是雪上加霜透骨凉。
