Gu Qingcheng curled the corners of her lips, revealing a helpless expression.

She looked at the somewhat annoyed Xiao Hongmei and said softly, "Hongmei, I like you, and I also want to go to Goose Country with you."

"But I still have responsibilities as a son and a brother."

"Blood ties are unbreakable! Just because I express my stance and resolve doesn't mean I can completely sever ties."

"Humans are really complex creatures. I can make promises now, but one day, when my parents get sick, my siblings go to school, get married... I simply can't stay out of it."

"My parents gave birth to me and raised me. My siblings and I are from the same mother and grew up together. They are all my relatives that I cannot abandon."

Having said that, Gu Qingcheng looked at Xiao Hongmei deeply, "Hongmei, I don't want to lie to you."

"I don't want you and I to become a pair of resentful lovers in the future because of these things!"

Gu Qingcheng's words were very straightforward.

Also very open-hearted——

Now, she can agree to all of Xiao Hongmei's requests in order to get a recommendation to go to Goose Country.

But what about the future?

They will eventually return to their country, and when they come back, they will have to face their relatives on both sides.

Gu Qingcheng is the eldest son of the Gu family and the most promising person in the entire family and even the entire village.

Not to mention relatives, even the villagers in the village would subconsciously ask Gu Qingcheng for help if they encountered any trouble.

As for Xiao Hongmei, her request to Gu Qingcheng is to cut off everything with him.

Regardless of what's going on in my hometown, I focus on managing my own little family.

However, such a requirement is simply impossible to achieve in reality.

Gu Qingcheng is not Sun Wukong, he didn’t pop out from a crack in the rock.

He has parents, relatives, neighbors from his hometown, and even some classmates and friends.

If he really did what Xiao Hongmei said, Gu Qingcheng would probably become an arrogant and ungrateful person.

Gu Qingcheng will eventually be caught between his wife and his parents and family.

The help his wife and even his wife's family once gave him will also become shackles that bind him.

At that time, love turns into hate, and kindness turns into enmity.

As for Gu Qingcheng, who was originally a golden phoenix with both talent and beauty, his mind became distorted and he became lost among the crowd.

Huoshui scratched his nose and said, "Hmm, this is the plot of the original novel."

Her Majesty the Queen once again speculated the original owner's ending based on the simple story outline and the characters' personalities.

Gu Qingcheng said a lot, but Xiao Hongmei didn't know which of her words touched her. A trance flashed in her eyes.

"Xiao Hongmei, I'm sorry. I can't fulfill my promise and can't go to school with you!"

"You have your persistence, I have my responsibilities, we are destined not to be together."

"Here, I wish you academic success and a bright future in advance."

Perhaps it was because this era was not too far away from the Republic of China that she had just experienced.

When Gu Qingcheng spoke, there was still a bit of Republican-style romance in her voice.

Her righteous appearance and her sincere attitude touched Xiao Hongmei deeply.

Xiao Hongmei inexplicably had a feeling that Gu Qingcheng had not done anything wrong to her, it was just reality that forced him to make a choice.

On one side is his lover, and on the other side is his family. He doesn't want to let anyone down.

But, is there any way to have the best of both worlds?

He could only end it early before love was worn away by reality.

Perhaps, if they break up at this time, they will be sad.

But they can all remember each other's best side.

And if they hesitate and hesitate, the two of them will really become disgusted with each other, or even become enemies... When Xiao Hongmei thought of this possibility, her heart seemed to be pinched tightly.

No!

She doesn't want it!

Let’s just do as Gu Qingcheng said. Since we can’t have the best of both worlds, let’s just break up happily.

It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one, and leave each other with a good memory!

"Gu Qingcheng!"

Gently calling her lover's name and looking at "his" handsome and upright face, Xiao Hongmei felt her heart was deeply hurt.

There was a moment when she wanted to give up her persistence——

Isn't it just serving the parents-in-law, uncle, sister-in-law and a bunch of other in-laws?

Hasn't this been the way women in China have lived since ancient times?

But soon, many bad memories from childhood came back to my mind.

No!

no!

It's so scary.

She didn't want to carry so much.

Her adoptive mother was tortured all her life by her evil mother-in-law and her elder and younger sisters-in-law.

As for my adoptive mother, she was a child bride and had no choice but to endure this.

She, Xiao Hongmei, is different!

She was found by her biological parents. She was not Hongya from the countryside, and she would never repeat the same path as her adoptive mother.

She just wanted to find a husband who would not be bullied by her in-laws, even if the husband was not as handsome or outstanding as Gu Qingcheng.

But as long as there are no messy troubles, Xiao Hongmei can accept it.

Xiao Hongmei raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said to Gu Qingcheng, "Okay! Classmate Gu Qingcheng, I understand what you mean."

"I understand your choice and am willing to fight you."

"I wish you all your dreams come true and a bright future!"

There was no deception or betrayal. The two had to break up because of their different ideas.

So, there is no hatred, only blessings.

"Hongmei, I wish you happiness!"

"Qingcheng, I wish you happiness!"

The two looked at each other deeply and then said goodbye.
