Chapter 252 Oath
She had been a little harsh on her youngest son earlier because she was afraid that Xin Xin would blame herself too much. Now, seeing his miserable state, she felt a little sorry for him.
She stepped forward and kicked the fourth brother's butt. "What? I was scolding you just now for your sister's benefit, not because I really meant it. Don't play the victim here!"
Upon hearing this, the fourth brother's eyes immediately cleared. He stood up abruptly and went to Jiang Ruzhen's side, carefully massaging her shoulders to relax her.
"Hehe, I knew my mom was the best to me. A beating is a sign of affection, and when my mom scolds me, it's because she's giving me face, proving that I'm the most important person in her heart."
If I weren't your most beloved son, Mom definitely wouldn't even glance at me, and I understand that. "???"
Jiang Ruzhen chuckled twice as she looked at her youngest son, who was grinning from ear to ear. Her son's carefree and easygoing nature meant he never took anything to heart.
She didn't even say anything, and he calmed himself down on his own.
That works too, it saves her the trouble of explaining.
After waiting for about half an hour, the test results finally came back.
The doctor came out and explained with a smile, "Don't worry, the patient is just suffering from chronic fatigue and emotional distress."
It's good that he spat out that mouthful of blood; it released all the pent-up anger in his chest, and there's nothing seriously wrong with him.
"His body is too fatigued and malnourished. Let him stay in the hospital for observation overnight. If there's nothing else wrong tomorrow, he can be discharged."
"That's great, thank you, doctor!" Jiang Ruzhen was completely relieved upon hearing this.
Shen Shuxin listened to the doctor's words in silence for a long time, her eyes fixed on the person on the hospital bed.
After some effort, they finally got Xie Hui into a regular ward.
As he gradually regained consciousness, the moment he opened his eyes, his gaze was fixed entirely on Shen Shuxin.
What a look that was! It was filled with longing, deep affection, reluctance, and helplessness...
Even a grown man like Shen Zhuohang almost shed tears while watching it.
Shen Shuxin's gaze was also fixed on Xie Hui. Although she didn't move closer, her eyes betrayed all her worry, fear, and sadness.
It felt like we were back on the day Xie Hui was about to have his leg amputated.
I felt a mix of emotions and was terrified.
"Don't be afraid, Xin Xin, it's not your fault. I've been too busy in the space city lately and often forget to eat, which is why I've ruined my health."
Don't worry, I'm really fine. Look, I can get up and jump around right now...
As Xie Hui was speaking, he tried to get up, but Shen Shuxin quickly stepped forward and pressed him down, her voice trembling with tears.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to kill a person? Who gave you permission to work so hard? Who gave you permission to skip meals? Who gave you permission to ruin your health?"
Who gave you permission to faint? You're mine, your whole being is mine. From now on, eat and sleep on time. If you continue to neglect your health like this, I'm really breaking up with you...
"Huh? What did you say?" Xie Hui was so overwhelmed by the huge surprise that he started to hallucinate.
"You've forgiven me, Xin Xin? Am I dreaming?"
"Yes, you're dreaming. How could I forgive you so easily? I'm just giving you another chance to pursue me again."
"I never said I would definitely accept your advances in the future..." Shen Shuxin muttered resentfully.
"Xin Xin, you're so good to me." Xie Hui didn't care that there were other people present. He reached out and hugged Shen Shuxin tightly, choking with emotion.
Shen Shuxin cried along with him, and the two quickly hugged each other and cried their eyes out.
The scene gave Shen Zhuohang goosebumps. He rubbed his arms and muttered something.
"My goodness, are all people in love this dramatic and idiotic? Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd just gone through a life-or-death situation!"
I think I'd better not get married in the future, lest I lower my IQ.
Jiang Ruzhen gave him a cool glance and said, "I think so too. You're stupid enough as you are now. If you fall in love, your IQ will probably drop to negative numbers."
You're better off living your life alone; stop making fun of the next generation of our country.
"Mom, are you making fun of me again? Who just said I was her most beloved darling?" Shen Zhuohang pouted as he looked at Jiang Ruzhen, his face full of grievance.
Jiang Ruzhen patted his head perfunctorily, "You're Mommy's precious baby, don't feel wronged!"
The fourth brother then proudly shook his head, and secretly glanced at Shen Shuxin, his eyes filled with arrogance.
Seeing his younger brother's smug expression amused Shen Shuxin, who was filled with bitterness, and also made Xie Hui feel embarrassed.
The two immediately let go of each other's hands. Xie Hui was still a little afraid of Jiang Ruzhen's gaze, and he didn't know if his future mother-in-law would have any objections to his reckless behavior just now.
Will it make things difficult for him and prevent him from marrying Xin Xin in the future?
If Jiang Ruzhen knew what he was thinking, she would definitely spit on him to his face.
Pooh!
Who wants to get involved in your young people's love affairs?
She has a ton of tricky things to deal with herself, okay?
"Alright, you two shouldn't act like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. You finally get to meet, and you're wasting it on useless things. You might as well have a proper conversation."
Shen Shuxin lowered her head shyly and hummed in agreement, while Xie Hui also nodded gratefully to Jiang Ruzhen.
Jiang Ruzhen turned to leave, but stopped and, after thinking for a moment, gave the two of them a word of advice.
“I once read about the wedding process of foreign believers in a book. When they hold their wedding in the church, they make vows to God.”
From the day they fell in love, they began to possess and support each other. For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, they loved and cherished each other until death do them part.
If you two love each other, I hope you will refer to this vow and compare it to yourselves.
It's said that falling in love is easy, but staying together is hard. I hope that before starting a relationship, you'll ask yourselves if you can keep that vow before considering whether you want to continue.
After Jiang Ruzhen finished speaking, she left with Shen Zhuohang, leaving Xie Hui and Shen Shuxin looking at each other in bewilderment.
Their hearts were simultaneously shaken by what Jiang Ruzhen had just said.
They own and support each other.
For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, let us love one another and cherish him, until death do us part.
That's a truly soul-stirring statement.
They made one of their mistakes, which almost caused them to miss out on a lifetime together.
As they carefully considered Jiang Ruzhen's words, the determination in their eyes gradually became clear.
"I can do it, Xin Xin." Xie Hui nodded firmly, holding Shen Shuxin's hand, without the slightest hesitation this time.
Shen Shuxin's expression was also somewhat solemn and respectful. "I can do it too, Xie Hui."
Their hands clasped together, their eyes locked in a resolute gaze.
