Gu Yingxue sat up, took Xie Zhiyi's hand, and said firmly, "Yiyi, I know what you mean, but I've thought it through, really. Before, I was thinking that after the war ended, when we went back and buried my sister, Brother Xiaojin would definitely take Yun-ge'er away. I've been thinking about how to persuade Brother Xiaojin to let Yun-ge'er come with me."
"But there's no reason I can convince Brother Xiaojin. I'm so panicked, so very panicked. I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'll never get over this. Actually, I'm selfish too. I just want to feel less guilty. If I can do something for my sister, I'll feel less guilty."
“Yiyi, I’ve found a new goal. I want to marry Brother Xiaojin, and I want to take care of Brother Yun rightfully. If Brother Xiaojin raises Brother Yun like his nephew, then I’ll be his aunt. If Brother Xiaojin raises Brother Yun like his own son, then I’ll be his mother.”
"Yiyi, don't try to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind, and now that I've made this decision, I feel much better and like I have something to look forward to."
“Yiyi, regardless of whether Brother Xiaojin has someone he likes or not, and regardless of whether he agrees to me marrying him, I will still do it. If he has someone he likes, I will not take his position as his legal wife. If he doesn’t have someone he likes, I don’t mind keeping that position if necessary. I just want to keep Brother Yun by my side.”
Xie Zhiyi slapped his forehead and said with a wry smile, "Xue'er, I won't try to persuade you anymore, because I don't know how to persuade you anymore."
Gu Yingxue smiled, the first smile she had shown since separating from Cheng Huaiyu, a genuine smile: "You don't need to persuade me, really. Okay, let's go to sleep. Don't worry, from now on, I will eat well, I will take good care of myself, make myself beautiful so that little Yun-ge'er won't dislike me, and make myself energetic so I have enough energy to take care of Yun-ge'er. I will start practicing martial arts tomorrow, I will practice hard to protect Yun-ge'er!"
Xie Zhiyi was so upset by Gu Yingxue's actions that she couldn't sleep. The person next to her was fast asleep, but she couldn't fall asleep.
The next morning, Xie Zhiyi woke up with dark circles under her eyes and saw Gu Yingxue had laid out a new blanket on the floor and was practicing yoga. She knew yoga; Aunt Lian had even taught her mother to do it.
"Good morning, Yiyi. Did you sleep well last night?" Gu Yingxue greeted Xie Zhiyi with a smile, facing the bed.
"Okay, that's good." Xie Zhiyi blinked and asked again, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet, come back when you're done practicing! A maid came to report that Uncle Jun said he's going to the camp and will wait for us!" Gu Yingxue said.
"Oh, then you keep practicing, I'm going to wash up!" Xie Zhiyi got up and went to get hot water to wash up.
She was wondering whether she should tell Xin Xin about this, since Xue'er seemed a bit off lately!
Is it really okay for someone who has been in a state of grief to suddenly become energetic and normal again?
Oh, and Xue'er said she wants to marry Cheng Huaijin in order to take care of Xiaoyu's child.
Xie Zhiyi felt more and more uneasy. This was strange. She was a young girl too. Why was she being made to face such a complicated problem?
In the end, Xie Zhiyi didn't tell Gu Xin. After all, things were tense on the front lines, and it was best not to disturb them at this time.
