Su He went to the hospital to see Jiang Nan the next day.

Jiang Nan seemed completely unsurprised by her arrival, and even smiled at her when he saw her.

However, Su He didn't know how to start the conversation after she arrived. Should she directly reopen old wounds and then scare her? Or should she reason with her and persuade her to admit it herself?

Su He hesitated.

But before she could think it through, Jiang Nan spoke first, "Officer Su, actually I envy you."

Su He was surprised by her response and asked, "Oh? Why?"

Jiang Nan laughed, "Is that even a question? Actually, it's not just me; I think every girl in our alley envies you."

You have such a wonderful family, such a wonderful husband and in-laws, even your children are well-behaved and sensible, and you yourself are a government official. Every aspect of your life is enviable.

Su He paused for a moment after hearing this, then asked, "And you? What do you envy most about me?"

"Me?"

Jiang Nan thought for a moment, "Firstly, because I'm still young, my husband and in-laws are still a bit far away from me, so I envy you the most for having such a good family to you."

You, a girl from the countryside, have been able to go to school and find a job in the city. Your family must treat you very well.

And your grandmother always speaks well of you when she's out.

I've seen it many times; every time she talks about you, her eyes light up.

That's great!

I often think, if I had such wonderful family members, would I also have such a wonderful life like you?

After listening, Su He remained silent for a moment, then looked at her and said, "You are still young, and you will have a wonderful life in the future."

Jiang Nan laughed upon hearing this, "Really? I'm looking forward to it, but I guess it's going to be difficult. The doctor said that my internal organs have been damaged to varying degrees, and I may be weak like this for the rest of my life."

"I'm afraid I'll be spending the rest of my life in a medicine cabinet from now on."

Su He fell silent after hearing this.

Finally, he asked, "So, do you regret it?"

"Regret what?" Jiang Nan asked, seemingly unaware of the question.

Su He shook her head. "Never mind, if you don't know, then forget it."

After Su He finished speaking, she was about to turn and leave when Jiang Nan spoke up again.

She said, "I have no regrets!"

Seeing Su He turn around, Jiang Nan continued, "Although I don't know what you asked, Officer Su, I know I don't regret it."

I've also longed for an easy life, and I'll work hard for it. And throughout that process, I haven't regretted any of my decisions.

Su He glanced at her after hearing this, "So, you did it?"

Jiang Nan looked at her blankly, "What do you mean, did I do it?"

Su He stared at her for a moment, but couldn't discern anything from her expression; all she could see was fragility and bewilderment.

Then he shook his head. "No, I just wanted to tell you that there are no easy days in this world. As long as there are desires, there will never be an easy day."

"I know, but it's still better than before, isn't it?"

Su He didn't answer her, and knowing she wouldn't get any answers, she left.

She came out during her lunch break, so she has to rush back to the municipal bureau now.

However, on the way back, she was not in a good mood. She was thinking about Jiang Nan and her words.

My thoughts were complicated, a mix of disappointment and sympathy, but mostly a sense of bewilderment. It was as if a tangled thread was stuck in my heart, and I couldn't untangle it even after returning to the office.
