Chapter 76 Confrontation
The Luo Xiao in her memory had been her sunshine, warming her days and guiding her path.
而她记忆中的那个罗肖是她的小太阳，温暖了她的每一天的生活，照亮了她前行的路。
Luo Xiao lay on the sofa, unable to speak, but his eyes remained fixed on Bai Ling.
罗肖躺在沙发上，一句话也说不出来，眼睛却死死地盯着白灵。
Remorse and helplessness were etched on his face. Slowly, he said, "Bai Ling, I'm sorry. Don't worry. I'll never force you to do anything you don't like again."
他的脸上似乎有些懊恼和无奈。他缓缓地说：“白灵，对不起，你放心，我以后绝不会强迫你做任何你不喜欢做的事。”
"Luo Xiao, we've experienced misunderstandings, conflicts, and unpleasant moments together. Most importantly, we still don't fully understand each other. So, before making any decisions, we should take a step back and think things through carefully. Don't you agree?"
“罗肖，我们之间有过误会，有过矛盾，有过不愉快，更重要的是我们两人都不是特别了解对方，所以我们双方在做什么事情之前都需要冷静，好好地想一想清楚，你说呢？”
"Bai Ling, please promise me you'll stay here tonight. The place you stayed before has always been empty. You can return to your old place just for tonight. Don't worry. I'll never force you to do anything again."
“白灵，答应我，今晚就住在这里好吗？你的房间一直都在，你今晚可以回到你原先的住处。你放心，我绝不会再强迫你做任何事。”
"My room is still here? You've been paying the rent and keeping it vacant all this time?"
“我的房间还在？你一直帮我交了房租，一直空着没住人？”
"Yes."
“嗯。”
"Luo Xiao, why? Why did you do this? You knew I wouldn't come back to live here anymore."
“罗肖，为什么？你为什么要做这些？你知道我不会再回来住在你的对面的。”
"I'm not sure why, but I just couldn't give up the room you once stayed or let someone else live there. So, I would occasionally visit to clean and maintain it. It's late now. Here's the key to unlocking the door. Get some rest."
“我也不知道为什么，只是我不想退房，也不想我对面的房间住了别人，所以我时常会去那坐坐，顺便打扫一下房间。今天已经很晚了，这是钥匙你拿去开门，你早点睡吧。”
Bai Ling accepted the key from Luo Xiao with mixed emotions.
白灵心情复杂地接过罗肖手中的钥匙。
The two of them had initially connected over a key, which held a unique significance in their relationship.
他们俩曾经因为钥匙而结缘，钥匙在他们俩人之间是有着与众不同的意义的。
With the key in hand, Bai Ling approached the door.
白灵拿着钥匙向门口走去。
"Promise me you'll stay there tonight," Luo Xiao begged in a low, somewhat hoarse voice.
“答应我，你今晚会住那。”罗肖的用他那很低，甚至有些嘶哑的声音着恳求道。
Unable to refuse, Bai Ling knew that his love for her had remained constant regardless of whether he was gentle or wild, rational or irrational.
白灵不忍拒绝，这个男人无论是温柔的时候，还是疯狂的时候，无论是理智的时候，还是不理智的时候，唯独对她的爱从来没有变过。
"Okay," she agreed.
“好。”她回答道。
That single word instantly brought relief to Luo Xiao's heart.
这一个字，瞬间安抚了罗肖的心。
"Great, I'll call you for breakfast tomorrow morning."
“好，明早我会叫你吃早餐。”
Years ago, their lives had been like this: she lived across from him, and whenever he had time, he would cook and then knock on her door to invite her for a meal.
若干年前，他们也是这样，她就住在他的对面，他只要有时间就会做饭，然后做好了饭菜就会去敲她的门叫她吃饭。
She first fell in love with Luo Xiao's food and then with him later.
她是先爱上了罗肖食物，而后才爱上他这个人的。
The saying "To capture someone's heart, first capture his stomach" rang true for her!
想抓住一个人的心，就要先抓住一个人的胃这句话说的就是她呀！
