She never expected that Lu Yi would kneel directly in front of her, so decisively, without any hesitation.
"Lu Yi, what are you doing? Get up quickly, you haven't committed any terrible crime, why are you suddenly kneeling before me?" Shen Heyu was genuinely startled and tried to help Lu Yi up, but he simply refused to rise.
Kneeling before Shen Heyu, he looked up at her, "Heyu, I stake my life on it, there won't be a next time for such an incident, can you forgive me, please? I'm kneeling before you; if you don't forgive me, I won't get up today."
Hearing his words, Shen Heyu slowly withdrew her hands, her intention to help him up abandoned, and frowned as she gazed at Lu Yi kneeling before her.
He was kneeling to ask for her forgiveness—it felt more like he was forcing her to forgive him.
