Chapter 134 Leaving is the final act of dignity.
"He... must have taken very good care of you."
Shi Yanzhou's gaze gently swept across Lin Wei's face.
Like a gentle breeze, it dared not linger.
I was afraid that if I stayed even a second longer, things would get out of control.
He paused, then forced out words of comfort from his throat.
He feared that his restrained love would burden Lin Wei's heart.
"Weiwei, seeing you happy is the most important thing to me."
You always deserve the best.
"If you ever want to eat medicinal cuisine again, just let me know."
My cooking skills... are still better than takeout.
"Brother Yanzhou..."
Lin Wei stood opposite Shi Yanzhou, looking at the man in front of her who was forcing himself to remain calm.
It felt like someone was hammering my heart, again and again.
A dull, aching pain.
Shi Yanzhou smiled and patted Lin Wei's head, comforting her like an older brother.
He knew he couldn't stay any longer.
Loving her was the longest, most enduring thing he had ever done.
She was his entire youth.
Now, she has someone more powerful than him by her side.
A man who can take better care of her than him.
He should quit now.
Shi Yanzhou slowly stood up, struggling to support his trembling arms.
His voice lowered and became slightly hoarse.
"Weiwei, I...I'm going back now. The hospital...just sent some news."
There's an unexpected situation that requires my return.
"Remember to drink the soup."
Lin Wei stared blankly in the direction Shi Yanzhou had left.
The gently closing door seemed to separate a long stretch of time.
The office still smelled faintly of disinfectant on him.
But Shi Yanzhou, which always existed in a gentle manner.
He left with unseen scars all over his body.
Lin Wei felt as if a piece of her heart had suddenly gone empty.
A sense of loss and bitterness slowly spread through my chest.
It weighed heavily on my heart.
From childhood to adulthood, Shi Yanzhou has been like a silent and reliable older brother.
It has always been a part of her life.
He remembered her preferences, always gentle, always considerate.
He never made her feel embarrassed in the slightest.
She had grown accustomed to this warmth and protection.
We got so used to it that we almost took it for granted.
If they remain friends forever...
However, life has no "what ifs".
She ultimately hurt him.
A deep sense of guilt welled up in Lin Wei's heart.
She would rather Shi Yanzhou blame her, complain about her, or even leave in anger.
Instead of swallowing all the pain and disappointment like this,
Shi Yanzhou always gave her the best.
But she became the one who brought him pain.
Lin Wei's heart suddenly ached as if it were being clenched.
My throat felt tight, and my eyes felt slightly hot.
She slowly lowered her head, her gaze falling on the bowl of warm medicinal food on the coffee table.
The rising steam blurred her vision.
A few hot tears slid down her cheeks.
Some cracks, once formed, can never be repaired...
Shi Yanzhou returned to the hospital.
I've read through Doctors Without Borders' application form countless times.
It was placed on the dean's desk.
Dean Chen Qiming put down his pen.
He frowned when he saw the heading of the application.
"Yanzhou..."
"Don't you know what the situation is like in Africa right now?"
War, plague, lack of medical care and medicine, and unimaginably harsh environment.
Are you sure you want to do this?
"Have you discussed such a big matter with your family?"
Does your father know?
The surface of Shiyanzhou remained as calm as still water.
Her voice was gentle and warm, like jade.
"Uncle Chen, this is my decision, and I can take responsibility for my actions."
Chen Qiming sighed, his words carrying a heavy weight.
"Your father and I have been comrades-in-arms for many years, and you are his only son!"
He's building such a big company, and he's counting on you to inherit it.
Chen Qiming softened his tone.
"Have you been working too hard lately?"
I'll grant you a month of annual leave so you can travel and relax.
"How about we relax a bit? There's no need to go to such a dangerous place."
Shi Yanzhou's heart had long since died.
He feared that if he stayed in Jiangcheng, his already out-of-control heart would...
I can't help but want to get close to her and disturb her peaceful and happy life.
It will cause her trouble.
She hates me.
Leaving is the only way to preserve one's last shred of dignity and self-respect.
To go to a completely unfamiliar place where you constantly have to face life and death.
Physical fatigue and mental stress
It can temporarily numb the excruciating pain in the heart that has nowhere else to go.
He raised his eyes and shook his head calmly.
"Uncle Chen, thank you for your kindness, but I have already made up my mind."
It wasn't an impulsive decision.
"They need a doctor there. And I need a change of scenery."
Please approve.

Time flows
Jiangcheng is beginning to enter late autumn.
This riverside city is shrouded in a hazy filter.
Along the roadside, the ginkgo leaves have turned from green to yellow, adorning the branches.
The autumn wind blew, and the leaves rustled.
Occasionally, a few leaves break free from the branches.
It twirled and danced in the air.
Lin Wei and Gu Jingcheng's wedding preparations have also entered the planning stage.
After discussing it, the two families decided to hold the wedding in a month.
It was held at the Gu family's old house.
At noon,
Lin Wei and Gu Jingcheng came out of a high-end custom wedding dress shop.
After trying on the wedding dress, I headed towards the dessert shop.
Tonight is Lin Yaocheng's birthday.
Lin Wei ordered a peach-shaped cake for her father.
Although it's his 50th birthday, Lin Yaocheng said he didn't want a big celebration.
Just a simple meal for the family is fine.
Lin Wei knew what her father was worried about.
I'm worried that my uncle's family will bring my grandmother to try and morally blackmail me again.
The Lin Group had finally gotten back on track.
We're too busy getting away from those vampires.
These days, my father has come to accept it.
The fact that he was a child who was not favored by his mother.
Gu Jingcheng carefully protected Lin Wei's shoulder.
He shielded her from the occasional passerby.
Lin Wei's face still had a faint blush from trying on the wedding dress.
Her eyes sparkled with happiness.
Gu Jingcheng looked down at her, his gaze so tender it could drown a person.
She'll probably be very happy in this life...
Gu's Group.
Lin Yan placed the freshly brewed coffee on Gu Xuan's desk.
A rich aroma filled the air.
She looked at Gu Xuan, who was looking down at the documents.
After hesitating for a moment, she softened her voice and spoke in a sweet, coquettish tone.
"Brother Gu Xuan... tonight,"
Could you spare some time to come home and have dinner with me?
Gu Xuan frowned.
"No, I already have a drinking party planned with Liu Zhiheng and the others."
Let's get down to business.
His mind was now completely occupied with how to get rid of that spoiled brat.
To secure more "projects" and solidify one's position within the company.
Lin Yan's voice carried a hint of grievance.
"But... today is Uncle's fiftieth birthday."
Although... although my sister didn't invite me.
But my uncle and aunt have treated me so well since I was little, they've treated me like their own daughter.
I absolutely have to go back for my birthday, both emotionally and practically.
“I feel a little insecure going back alone.”
Brother Gu Xuan, will you come with me?
With you here, you can at least give me some support..."
Gu Xuan suddenly stopped, wondering if he could go to Lin Wei's house and see her in a legitimate way.
"Fine, why didn't you say so sooner about something this big?"
"You're my woman, isn't it only natural for me to stand up for you?"
Lin Yan nestled into his arms, her face beaming with smiles.
Lin Wei's family will be celebrating Lin Yaocheng's birthday at the Lin family villa tonight.
That was her best stage to show off.
She imagined herself holding Gu Xuan's arm.
When she appeared at the family dinner as "the future Mrs. Gu",
What expression will Lin Wei have on her face?
An unconscious smile crept onto his face, and a surge of triumphant joy welled up inside him.
Sister, oh sister, that was a man you could never reach before.
Now he's at my feet too,
What do you have to compare with me?!
