After Ariel carried Hades away, Allen sat in a chair, waiting for Liao Qian to come out of surgery. An Ning glanced at Lei Ting, hoping that Lei Ting could persuade Allen.
Thunder: "Allen, what have you two brothers got your eye on Liao Qian? You have status and wealth, you don't need to do this for a charlatan..."
Allen: "What kind of talk is this? What do you mean by charlatan? Liao Qian is second only to God."
Thunder: "This is the second time I've heard that."
Allen: "You don't understand how to appreciate Liao Qian's uniqueness and his completely open attitude towards me. They are so attractive to me."
Thunder: "I can do all of those things too!"
Allen: "You're too roguish, you don't have a shred of Liao Qian's tenderness."
Thunder: "Fine, you still don't think much of me."
Anning pulled Leiting aside, but Leiting didn't say a single thing that hit the nail on the head.
An Ning: "Allen, I want to know why Liao Qian has become an irreplaceable presence in your heart."
Allen: "When I was at my most difficult and helpless, he encouraged me, supported me, and helped me. My brother betrayed me, and my lover deceived me, but Liao Qian never lied to me or betrayed me from beginning to end."
Anning: "Hmm, Liao Qian said you've had feelings for him for a long time, even when you were with Ariel, right?"
Allen: "Yes, it was only after the fact that I realized it. When he was with my brother, I had an extreme panic and wanted to take him away from me."
Thunder: "You two brothers are both like this. Why don't the four of you just live together? He loves her, she loves him, oh my, I can't even sort it out."
An Ning: "Lei Ting, don't talk like that."
Allen: "Some love can be kept in your heart, some love cannot, and some things are already set in stone and cannot be changed."
Anning: "You like Ariel's child too, right?"
Allen: "I love my nephew very much, and I plan to leave everything to him."
Thunder: "You can keep others in your heart, can your brother do that?"
Allen: "I don't want him to suffer."
Anning: "Allen, you two brothers are twins after all, so you must have a lot in common. The person you like, he likes, and the person he likes, you like too. Just like you said, many things are set in stone and cannot be changed."
Allen: "I just hope Liao Qian can be safe and healthy. I don't want to see him suffer anymore, even if he leaves me."
Thunder: "He won't leave you, he loves you very much. He told me he wanted to give you an explanation, so we're planning to get married by the Tam River!"
Allen: "We're getting married soon. Thunder, you'll be the best man, Anning will be the maid of honor, Hades will be the flower girl, and your brother and Ariel will sit in the audience and release balloons."
Anning: "Allen, where are your parents? You should invite them to your wedding too."
Allen: "They are ashamed of me."
Lei Ting: "No! You can't understand it like that. The love that elders have for younger generations is very complicated. For example, my dad often hits me, but I know it's for my own good. My mom is the same; she has hit me for my own good too. You can't understand your parents like that."
Allen: "It's different. My parents have higher hopes for me than for Guli. They've even said they want me to inherit the title. I don't want to. I want to live my own life. I don't want to be a knight. I don't want to."
Thunder: "Stubborn, a complete stubborn."
Lei Ting pulled An Ning away quickly. Allen was quite emotional; let him vent for a while! Lei Ting and An Ning shook their heads; they couldn't persuade him. Allen was much more stubborn than Gu Li. Half an hour into the surgery, the three of them couldn't help but worry more as they stood outside. Allen stood up and looked into the operating room.
Allen: "Why isn't the surgery over yet?"
Anning: "Don't worry... there will be good news, everything will be alright, it's just a minor surgery."
Allen: "But... my Liao Qian, you've endured so much pain, why didn't you tell me about your hemorrhoids..."
Allen covered his head in distress. Lei Ting glared at him, thinking that if they hadn't been so unrestrained, things wouldn't have come to this. An Ning gently shook Lei Ting, wanting him to comfort Allen a little more.
Thunder: "Allen, what does perfection mean to you?"
Allen: "My lover must be perfect, without any scars or psychological problems. Liao Qian fits all of these criteria perfectly."
Lei Ting: "That's not right! Liao Qian has calluses on his palms, so you can't feel it when he touches your skin!"
Allen: "How did you know...?"
Lei Ting: "He grew up in my house with me since he was little. Sometimes we practiced martial arts together, and over time our hands developed calluses! I have them too. What are you thinking? If I were interested in him, would it be your turn?"
Allen: "You don't know how to appreciate. Although your An Ning is also a perfect woman, there is only one man like Liao Qian in the world."
Thunder: "If you think he's so important, why are you in so much pain now!"
Allen: "If Liao Qian's body contains my brother's blood, I... I still feel a little uncomfortable..."
Lei Ting: "Is that so? Everyone has possessiveness to some extent, I can understand that. But! Gu Li giving blood to Liao Qian is still uncertain. Even if he loses, it's to save Liao Qian's life. Think about it! Your Liao Qian, the person you consider second only to God, is about to die, and your rival and brother happens to save your lover. Shouldn't you thank him for his selfless dedication? Also, there's an old saying in our country, 'A doctor shouldn't shy away from seeing another doctor.' Since ancient times, we've felt that men and women are different and have avoided suspicion in many things. But if it's a matter of life and death, like when my An Ning is about to give birth, and the doctor is a man, no matter how possessive I am, no matter how much I don't want that man to touch my An Ning, what can I do? Watch my beloved leave me, even if I have a better way to keep him and I don't use it? If that happens, I think my life will be nothing but regret..."
