Xi Lanting always remembers that in the last year she was with him, she never smiled and was always unhappy; then she went to Kongque River, where she worked hard for other people and lived a wanton and happy life.
Everyone has something they want to do.
Yun Qiao had told him countless times: "I want to go back to Shangqingshan, and I want to leave you."
In the days that followed, Xi Lanting recalled every detail of her countless times.
What she said, what she did.
There were some things he couldn't accept or understand, but she thought.
After losing her, Xi Lanting had a long time to reflect that he should love her.
To love her is not to confine her, but to indulge her.
Indulge her in everything she wants.
Xi Lanting also understood a truth: she knew whether she was happy or not. What she wanted was her happiness.
"...Seventh Master, the chapter is broken." Xi Changan reminded him hesitantly.
Xi Lanting came to his senses and realized that he had crushed his private seal to pieces.
He let go.
The private seal turned into a pile of dust.
"Go and customize a private seal for me." Xi Lanting said to Xi Changan, "You sign the remaining words yourself and stamp it with your private seal."
Xi Changan is managing business outside, and his private seal is recognized by Xi Lanting and other managers.
"yes."
Xi Lanting: "Xi Rong."
Xi Rong ran in quickly.
"Let the kitchen prepare seven days' worth of ginseng chicken soup and all kinds of beef and mutton." Xi Lanting said, "Are the crabs fat now?"
"Pretty fat."
"Make some crab paste." He ordered.
Xi Rong wrote them down one by one.
Xi Lanting stood up and wiped off the powder from his broken private seal. He was going to the hospital to pick up Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao stood beside Zhou Mulian's bed, looking at him with Li Huzhu.
Li Huzhu told Zhou Mulian the situation.
Zhou Mulian was stunned.
He didn't want to hurt Li Huzhu, but he couldn't help it: "Is there something wrong with you?"
Li Huzhu: "But we can't give up any hope."
Is this hope?
This is nonsense, this is extremely ignorant!
"When you went to church when you were abroad, what did you believe in? Does God really exist? Do you believe in God? Is there something wrong with your brain?" Li Huzhu suddenly yelled at him.
Zhou Mulian: "..."
Li Huzhu compared Yun Qiao to God, which Zhou Mulian found intolerable.
However, she was right, believing in empty gods is a very stupid thing.
That's what you rely on when you're desperate.
Just like him right now.
Maybe, he really went to burn incense and worship Buddha, praying for some faint hope.
"I'm sorry." He apologized to Li Huzhu, "You are right, I was too stupid."
He turned his eyes to Yun Qiao.
The pride and indifference he had before turned into deep despair after he was injured.
Despair made his eyes dim.
When he looked at people, he no longer looked aloof and domineering, but he was neither humble nor arrogant. He was just extremely tired.
"Miss Yun, what should I do?" he asked.
He didn't want Li Huzhu to cry.
From the time they fell in love to the time they broke up, they had the best time for two years. Even if those days were over, Zhou Mulian didn't want her to stand in front of his hospital bed and cry bitterly.
She can cry, but she shouldn't cry for him.
He's not worth it.
"First of all, please call me aunt and trust me from the bottom of your heart." Yun Qiao said.
Zhou Mulian moved the corner of his lower lip with difficulty, much like a boy who was forced by his parents to go to the temple to pray for blessings. He prayed wherever he wanted, without any emotion: "Auntie."
Yun Qiao didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.
She thought that Zhou Mulian would definitely kick her out of the ward.
Zhou Mulian is calmer than Yun Qiao imagined. It should be said that he may have already thought about committing suicide.
