When Xu Feiming saw Lu He crying, he took out a handkerchief and wiped Lu He's tears.
Lu He lowered her head, sniffed, and took a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Lu He had already let it go, but Xu Feiming's question made her sad again.
The thought of her budding love being cruelly cut short by her own actions must have been painful for her.
I thought it was an unspoken understanding, but he chose someone else.
“He might have some unspeakable difficulties. I heard that the girl was arranged by his superiors to be on a blind date. He might just be going through the motions. You can talk to him about it. Or you can wait until Fei Ming goes back to the army and explain it to Chu Lin.” Xu Fei Ming said to Lu He with concern.
"Brother Fei Ming, forget it. Chu Lin and I are on different paths, and being together would be too painful." Lu He had also figured it out and shouldn't ruin his future because of her selfishness.
The leader's daughter could at least provide him with a better life, and even if she didn't, she wouldn't be a burden to Chu Lin.
Lu He is different; she needs someone she loves by her side. Chu Lin is someone who doesn't know how to express love, which is completely different from Lu He's personality.
Lu He also understood clearly that these things cannot be forced.
"Would you be willing to just let it go like this?" Xu Feiming asked Lu He again.
“There’s nothing to be resentful about, Fei Ming. I’ve suffered since I was a child. From the time I was old enough to work, I had to do the work for the whole family by myself. I made clothes for them, cooked, washed clothes, and farmed the fields. I started taking on all the housework at a very young age, and I did it for more than ten years. Chu Lin has two elderly people in his family who need to be taken care of. If I choose to be with Chu Lin, one of us has to give up our jobs, but a salary of just over twenty yuan is not enough to support a family.”
As Lu He spoke, she lowered her head, feeling uncertain about her future with Chu Lin.
"It was my brother and sister-in-law who helped me escape this misery. I don't want to trouble them anymore, nor do I want to trouble Father Jiang. I want to become strong and take care of myself, instead of letting all my efforts go to waste because of one choice. I am a human being with thoughts and ideas, and I can't have outdated ideas."
Lu He didn't know what Chu Lin thought of her, but Chu Lin knew very well what she wanted.
Lu He didn't want to suffer anymore.
Xu Feiming looked up at Lu He with heartache, realizing that Lu He had great perseverance.
"To put it bluntly, it's because I don't love him enough and I'm not willing to give up anything for him!" Lu He said self-deprecatingly.
Xu Feiming deliberately pressed down hard on Lu He's arm.
"Ouch...it hurts!" Lu He snapped out of her thoughts with the pain.
Xu Feiming smiled and said, "It's not that you don't love him enough, it's that he didn't give you enough security. There are many choices in life. You can love one person forever, or you can love someone else forever. The premise of loving someone else is loving yourself. What's wrong with thinking about yourself?"
"Brother Fei Ming is right. I plan to work hard to become a doctor, and in the future, like Aunt Wen, I will become a chief surgeon, a renowned doctor, an excellent doctor who can perform all kinds of surgeries, and save more people."
Lu He firmly believed that he could accomplish it.
After Xu Feiming finished massaging Lu He, he released her, stood up and went to the kitchen, saying, "Our little sister Lu He is right. We should try to look forward. Keep going, I believe in you."
"Thank you, Brother Feiming," Lu He said happily to Xu Feiming.
"I'll make you something delicious today, candied sweet potatoes, I guarantee it'll be so sweet it'll warm your heart, so you won't be sad anymore. Starting tomorrow, you'll come with me to go hiking and exercise, so you won't think about anything else, okay?" Xu Feiming said to Lu He while busy in the kitchen.
"I don't want to go." After exercising for two hours, her hands were so sore. If she went hiking, she would be exhausted. "I only have an eight-day holiday. I need to rest properly. I have an exam at the beginning of next month."
When Xu Feiming heard Lu He's voice, he didn't seem upset, so he became worried.
“Okay, I’ll take you to see someone tomorrow. She’s also a doctor, so you’ll have something to talk about,” Xu Feiming said.
"What, could it be that she's Xu Feiming's crush?" Lu He asked, coming from the living room into the kitchen with a curious look on her face.
“She confessed her feelings to me before, but later she married a man who was better than me and is very happy. She had a child, and I came with her to visit her.” Xu Feiming responded to Lu He.
"Ah!" Lu He exclaimed with a gossipy look, "Won't her husband mind if you go to see her?"
“No, I introduced her to her husband. I went to see them and their child; they are all very good friends of mine.” Every word Xu Feiming said surprised Lu He.
Lu He raised an eyebrow and looked at Xu Feiming, saying, "Brother Feiming, there might be a reason why you're single."
"What reason could there be? I haven't met anyone I like. She likes me, but I rejected her and said I could find her someone better. Isn't that great?" Xu Feiming said dismissively.
Lu He smiled and joked, "If one day I tell you I like you, you won't introduce me to someone better, will you?"
"If you say you like me, I'll marry you right away," Xu Feiming jokingly said to Lu He.
After they finished speaking, the air fell silent as their eyes met.
Lu He's eyes drooped downwards; she shouldn't have joked about herself like that.
Xu Feiming knew Lu He was embarrassed, so he added, "The point is, I know you can't do it, and you're getting shy just joking!"
“Nobody outside would joke like that!” Lu He added.
"You started the joke, so I just went along with it. Besides, I'm not bad, am I?" Xu Feiming retorted to Lu He.
Lu He grinned and said, "He's a little worse than my brother!"
“Yes, that’s right. Don’t let your brother’s young age fool you; he’s a veteran revolutionary. He joined the revolution when he was just a teenager, and we all know about his heroic deeds.” Xu Feiming admired Lu Chen. “When I was in school, your brother was already on the battlefield. I can’t compare to him in that respect.”
"Hey Fei Ming, when you have time, why don't you spar with my brother a few times and see who's better?" Lu He asked suddenly.
Xu Feiming nodded and said, "Alright, let's exchange a few moves. Anyway, I can't beat your brother."
"Then when my brother comes back later, I'll tell him." Lu He happily walked out of the kitchen.
Watching Lu He turn and leave, walking happily, Xu Feiming looked at Lu He with a doting gaze.
Perhaps he himself didn't even realize it!
Xu Feiming prepared all the ingredients in the kitchen by himself, and when Lu He felt it was almost done, she came in to help start the fire.
Xu Feiming and Lu He started chatting about interesting things that happened at their respective jobs, and they were quite engrossed in the conversation.
When Shen Qiaoyue and Liu Xinlan returned from outside, they heard their lively conversation and smiled at each other.
Lu Chen felt an indescribable emotion upon hearing this voice.
