"Stop crying. You were scared. I don't blame you."
Zhou Yifu looked at Mu Ying distressedly and said, "She has also forgotten what you look like, but that doesn't stop her from caring about you."
Mu Ying lowered her head and wiped her tears, "Yes, we met. The new student knows me, but she doesn't know me. I'm very angry."
Zhou Yifu stretched out his sweaty hands and moved forward inch by inch, tentatively trying to hold her hand to comfort her.
Mu Ying raised her head and looked at him and whispered, "Am I so heartless? She obviously had no choice but to leave for us, but I don't want to forgive her or live with her."
Zhou Yifu hurriedly took back his hand and said, "You are angry at the moment. You won't think so when you calm down later. Blood is thicker than water. It is common for relatives to be angry for a while. It will be better after that."
Mu Ying's eyes were filled with mist and regret. "You're right, blood is thicker than water. What are you going to do after we go back? Are you going back to Lanjing?"
Her topic jumped so much that Zhou Yifu didn't have time to think carefully, "Yeah, I've been away from home for too long, and I don't know what's going on at home. I'm very concerned about it."
"It's my fault." Mu Ying said, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have run away, taken such a big risk, and almost lost your life."
Zhou Yifu smiled and waved his hand, "It's my own willfulness and it has nothing to do with you. Don't take responsibility for yourself."
"What are you going to do in the future?" Mu Ying said kindly, "You are not a Jianghu person. You can't keep wandering in the Jianghu, write thousands of books, and read thousands of miles. You have already done it."
"I want to use what I have learned to serve the country. If Master Gu's vision comes true, I want the people of Zhao to live and work in peace and contentment."
Zhou Yifu's eyes were bright and full of energy, "Xiaoying, I'm not afraid of your jokes. The ancients said that if you are poor, you can be alone, but if you are rich, you can help the world. A real man must be famous for a hundred generations, so that he will not leave this world in vain."
Mu Ying smiled and said, "I support you if you have good ambitions."
Zhou Yifu looked at her and blushed nervously, "Xiaoying, will you marry me? My parents will be very kind to you and we will do things together."
Mu Ying lowered her head and eyes, listening quietly, but did not object immediately.
Zhou Yifu saw hope and became happy: "Although my family is not rich, we still have enough food and clothing. I am talented, knowledgeable, hard-working, and I can make you live a good life."
"I believe everything you said is true and you can do it too."
Mu Ying said warmly, "But after I go back, I will not go to Lanjing again, nor will I go to the prosperous place again. What should you do?"
Zhou Yifu was stunned.
Mu Ying's not going to Lanjing means that he must be separated from his parents and family.
Not going to a prosperous place means that all his ambitions cannot be extended.
"You may not know that the Mu family and the Gu family no longer exist." Mu Ying looked at him tenderly. "If you choose me, you have to give up your future and your ideals. This is unfair to you. I don't want this."
“That’s not the case”
Zhou Yifu became excited, and strange, sad, and heaven-falling emotions violently washed through his chest.
He grabbed Mu Ying's hand tightly and said hurriedly, "I can go to the end of the world for you, or I can give up everything to accompany you to the end. I am true."
"It's different. You go to the end of the world because you know you will go back. Giving up means you will never go back. Brother Tuesday, you are not suitable for the lonely mountain life."
