"Suicide?" Ruan Wushuang asked in surprise.
"Yes. I'm the second oldest in my family. I'm not as responsible as my older brother, nor as mischievous as my younger brother. Just like I told you before, my life is boring and unremarkable."
"The only thing that gave me a sense of purpose was my studies, but at that time no one knew if we could come back."
“If I could only spend my whole life in a cornfield like that, picking corn that stretches as far as the eye can see, I think death might be a relief,” Huo Minxue said slowly.
Ruan Wushuang was dumbfounded. Although Huo Minxue had told her before that their family had been sent to the countryside, she knew nothing about these things.
"Life is not just about the body, but also about the soul. When your body is suffering, your soul will actively seek a way out."
"For me, the exit of the soul is the demise of the body. You are braver than me; the exit your soul chooses is to overthrow everything, which is something I cannot match."
"Many people only see the superficial appearance and cannot see the soul beneath the body. But I am different. I love your body and I love your soul just as much."
"Wushuang, there is no perfect person in this world. Those who are pure in both body and soul are only protagonists in novels."
"We are just ordinary people. Ordinary people live one life. There are not so many rules. Just follow your heart."
"I want to marry you based on my true feelings. It has nothing to do with what kind of person you are or what you have been through." Huo Minxue's voice was like a mountain spring, calm and gentle.
Ruan Wushuang felt that the knot in her heart that had troubled her for many years seemed to be slowly untied at this moment.
"You... really think I'm brave?" Ruan Wushuang murmured.
"Of course! There has always been a proper order between parents and children. The father comes first, then the son. If the father is not called a father, then the son does not need to follow any ethical or moral principles."
Ruan Wushuang's eyes were extremely sore, and she felt as if some tears were about to fall.
She tried to widen her eyes, and her voice was strained.
"Huo Minxue, you said these words, so you must remember them. If you ever forget them, I will take you to hell with me!"
Huo Minxue smiled faintly and gently reached out to wipe away the tears from Ruan Wushuang's eyes.
"If that day ever comes, I will be at your disposal."
"Did your little sister... say when my body will recover?" Ruan Wushuang's voice choked with emotion.
"It seems not, but he left three days' worth of medicine in the kitchen. I guess it will be available in three days." Huo Minxue was a little surprised that Ruan Wushuang's topic suddenly jumped to his younger sister, but he still answered truthfully.
“Then three days later, have your parents come to my shop… to propose marriage.” Ruan Wushuang lowered her voice as she spoke.
"Okay!" But Huo Minxue still heard it.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep now, don't bother me." Ruan Wushuang lay back down.
"Okay." Huo Minxue nodded gently.
He didn't correct Ruan Wushuang at all; he wasn't the one arguing from beginning to end.
