"I don't know! At first, I was willing to do anything, even if the time I could have it was extremely short..."
Miyano looked up at the ceiling, her fingers tucked into her hair, then quietly let go.
"Uncle Lin told me today that sincerity is the only sure-fire way to win. I suddenly felt relieved and realized that I couldn't deceive or hurt her, not even in the slightest."
Miyano touched the spot on his chest, where it felt like a heart was about to grow!
Feng Guang listened quietly to his story. At one point, he really wanted to do anything to bring the fairy to his side for his son, and stay with Gong Ye whether he lived or died.
Forty years ago, he would have done the same.
But he had spent half his life on the battlefield, long past the age of youthful arrogance and disregard for the lives of others. He had protected this land for too many years and witnessed too many partings and deaths.
He thought that if he could, he would gladly give his life for his son, but he couldn't bring himself to drag an eighteen-year-old girl down with him.
At this moment, Feng Guang seemed to have aged ten years. His usually straight back slumped down, and a feeling of "powerlessness" filled his heart.
Miyano continued her gentle narration, “As I climbed to the fourth floor, I kept thinking that I didn’t have much time left to control myself, maybe three years, or maybe five.”
Is it possible to exchange everything for her to spend my final moments with me, without deceiving me into marriage or tainting her?
After I die, the fairy will marry, have children, and begin her true life.
The medals I left behind are enough for the nation to protect her for the rest of her life!
Seeing Feng Guang open his mouth as if to speak, Gong Ye smiled and shook his head, "But these are all just my assumptions."
Having met you and Mother, I know that those who survive alone suffer the most.
So Dad! You've arranged for me to join this translation team. After the trade fair, I'll apply to go to Japan.
Coming back alive, this trip with foreign dignitaries is the beginning for me and Xianxian. If…
His voice lowered unconsciously, "If we don't come back..."
He's not coming back! Let's just consider it another time he's left without saying goodbye!
Since that place had the ability to transform him into this inhuman and ghostly state, there's no reason why it couldn't prolong his life, is there?
"Dad! If you don't want to bury your child and lose your grandson in your old age, please take good care of Xiaobai!"
Having completely severed any possibility of a relationship between her nephew and the fairy at the old man's place, Gong Ye left the fourth floor, drove home, and went to learn from Aunt Zhao how to make clear stewed pheasant.
If we don't get to eat this by tomorrow, the little fairy's mouth will be dripping with oil!
As Miyano started the car, his knuckles tapped rhythmically on the steering wheel. He raised his eyes and gazed intently at the second floor, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
It was as if I could see someone sleeping soundly inside through a dark window.
The conversation just now was three parts truth and seven parts falsehood. He had been playing dumb for too long, and the old man's mind was still stuck on the idea that he was about to die.
If he couldn't even control his own life and death, why would he approach the fairy and hurt her again?
How is doing that any different from her scumbag parents who use national hatred as a pretext, speak of helplessness, and actually commit acts of harm?
I played the victim in front of the old man, revealing that the follow-up treatment for his body is still a top secret, and also because it's true that he's going to Japan soon.
Before leaving, he was determined to pave the way for the fairy. He didn't want insignificant care, but rather to protect her as if she were his own precious jewel.
For the time being while he's away from the country, the old man has no other skills, so it's just right for him to temporarily fill this role, which also prevents his nephew from taking advantage of the situation!
Miyano smiled as he drove away from the lakeside hotel.
...
In the deluxe guest room on the second floor, Ruan Xianxian was the first to finish washing up, and she curled up in bed with her little head nodding.
Mu Xia was taking a shower, while Chen Zhaodi sat on the edge of the bed watching the black and white television with a look of interest.
A well-known movie was playing inside, and the crackling white noise of the TV surrounded her ears. Ruan Xianxian was just about to fall asleep when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Ruan Xianxian suddenly woke up with a start, her head throbbing and her eyes snapping open.
The door was opened by Mu Xia, who came out of the bathroom. Standing outside was an imposing old man who was deliberately concealing his aura.
Who are you looking for? Is there something you need?
Feng Guang put one hand behind his back, nodded and said, "Call Ruan Xianxian." He tried hard to put on a kind expression, but the more he tried, the more futile it was.
When Ruan Xianxian, with her hair half-dry and a tuft of hair sticking up on her head, shuffled over in her slippers, she saw Feng Guang with a stern, old face.
"It's you, sir! We parted on the train, and you look even more energetic than before."
"What do you mean 'old man'? Do I look that old? I'm probably about the same age as your dad, right? Call me 'uncle'!"
Ruan Xianxian: ...
With a strange look, Feng Guang scrutinized the person from head to toe, then covered his mouth with one hand and coughed lightly, while waving the document he was holding in the other hand and gesturing towards the room.
"Ahem! I don't think Director Jia will be back for a while. I'm afraid you'll get impatient, so I'm giving you the information on these foreign guests and manufacturers first."
"The sooner we understand and prepare, the easier it will be to go in and talk, right?"
Mu Xia had already changed her clothes in the bathroom. Ruan Xianxian silently stepped aside to let this towering figure from Heilongjiang Province enter.
With a keen intuition like that of a small animal, Ruan Xianxian had a premonition that the old man's eyes held a guilty conscience, and he was clearly up to no good.
He entered the room, casually placed the documents he had brought on the table, beckoned Ruan Xianxian over, and pointed to the first page of the documents, featuring a tall, Chinese man named Oliver.
"Little girl, don't be fooled by his refined appearance and gentlemanly demeanor on the paper. He's all show and no substance and often gets beaten up by his uncle who comes with him."
Ruan Xianxian nodded perfunctorily: "That's pretty useless."
The old man's eyes lit up, and his words were pointed: "This kind of child will cause trouble from a young age, and will be even more troublesome when he grows up."
Whoever marries a husband whose mind is only on the family business and who doesn't care about his wife will have to swallow all their bitterness. Don't you think so?
Ruan Xianxian's slightly sluggish mind finally came to its senses; the old man was making veiled insults!
Sang is an unlucky fellow named Oliver, and the one being scolded, if nothing unexpected happens, is the grandson of the man in front of him, Feng Bai.
Ruan Xianxian clicked her tongue inwardly. Even tigers don't eat their cubs; it's rare to see a grandfather badmouthing his own grandson.
Is Feng Guang afraid that he will get entangled with Feng Bai?
Are they willing to ruin their own reputation to nip this promising young woman in the bud?
Is the next scene going to be the classic money-throwing spectacle?
The line, "We're truly in love, so we need to pay more," was practically on the tip of his tongue...
Feng Guang's tone suddenly changed as he flipped open the first page of the document and showed the second page: "Look, niece, her uncle is different."
He's devoted and loyal, and won't neglect his wife and children for business. Let me tell you, when choosing a partner, be discerning and don't be fooled by a pretty boy's looks!
Ruan Xianxian finally understood. With a blank expression, she looked at Feng Guang and said, "So, nephew and uncle are truly in love, and you're telling me to back off on my own?"
