Chapter 587: Can’t Surrender, Can’t Accept Fate
The sinister plan proposed by Chao Jian was recognized by all the "famous and upright" people present. They all said that it was fortunate that Chao Jian was a teammate instead of an opponent, otherwise the elves would have suffered a lot.
Audience: "..."
Peanuts for me! Peanuts for me!!
-
The righteous conversation came to an end, and on the other side of the deepening moonlight, Ruan Wei quietly stood by Fu He's bed.
This is the highlight.
When he saw Fu He's hair trembling slightly due to heavy breathing for the seventh time, Ruan Wei said without any ripples in his heart, "Fairy, if you wake up, please get up."
The person on the bed seemed to be suddenly frozen, holding her heavy breath tightly, and her back looked very stiff and awkward.
After a brief silence, Fu He slowly sat up. She turned her head, and her beautiful eyes were filled with a pool of deep and shallow water. She looked weak, aggrieved, and pitiful.
When Ruan Wei looked at Fu He, she was in a trance for a moment.
Chi Jin still looks a lot like Fu He, especially when she looks at people with tears in her eyes. It really looks like everyone in the world feels sorry for them.
ah.
I miss him so much.
Am I the one struggling the most right now? How is that possible? How can Chi Jin not feel miserable when she is next to the person she hates the most?
Ruan Wei lowered her eyes.
Fu He saw that Ruan Wei didn't say anything, and she didn't know what to say.
When she just woke up, Fu He already knew that she was no longer in the Demon Realm. Every inch of her skin seemed to be saying how comfortable and relaxed she was. The air around her was filled with the long-lost smell of her hometown, and her body was filled with rich spiritual energy. This was the scene she most wanted to dream of when she woke up in the middle of the night.
But no one told Fu He that this scene would be exchanged for Chi Jin.
Seeing that Ruan Wei was just staring at him in a trance, this kind of gaze made him inexplicably numb, but also vaguely familiar. It was a pair of eyes that recalled his lover through the skin.
Yu Qunqing would also look at himself in this way. What he was recalling was Fu He of the past; then what about the girl in front of him, who else could she recall?
Fu He couldn't help but clench the corner of her clothes. She opened her lips and asked, "...Is there anything you need me to do?"
"Yes, I need it."
Ruan Wei came back to her senses. She nodded casually and briefly explained the current situation: "Chi Jin has been captured. I'm sorry, although it's cruel, but I have to say that I currently plan to send you back in exchange for Chi Jin. Don't be surprised. After all, this is the backup plan I had in mind when I kidnapped you. The exchange date is set for tomorrow. I hope you can cooperate."
Ruan Wei stood up and bowed as he had done when they first met, then stood up again and repeated with a normal expression, "I'm sorry."
"But to me, Chi Jin is more important."
For a wanderer who has not returned home for a long time, these words are really inappropriate, but for a mother, these words can become a life-saving straw.
Rational yet cruel, this is Ruan Wei's basic character.
“…”
Fu He was stunned.
Ruan Wei cherishes Chi Jin so much, she should be very happy, but the corner of her clothes was crumpled into a ball in her hands, and she couldn't say the word "good" happily. She could only take a few deep breaths, and even her voice became dry.
"It doesn't matter."
Fu He murmured softly, "...I told you long ago, you don't have to save me."
Why bother?
Bring her home, bring her to the light, and then send her back to darkness.
Fu He was willing to stay with Yu Qunqing painfully even though she could no longer remember the happy days in Tongzhou, but her body and skin had already felt the familiar spiritual energy, and now those beautiful and free memories were rushing back with the waves of memory.
How is it possible that someone cannot distinguish between pain and happiness?
It's just self-deception, it's just numbness and powerlessness.
It seems like people have been stuck in the mud for too long. When they are dragged ashore, they are too hypocritical to bear any hardship. They leave the turbid sky and see the vast blue sky, but now they are being pushed back into the mud.
For Chi Jin, Fu He was of course willing. She also knew very well that she would once again fall into the suffocating quagmire, and the pain that her body was already familiar with but her soul was crying for help would come over her.
“Yes.”
Ruan Wei interrupted Fu He directly: "I saw that you were unhappy there, and we are compatriots. My upbringing told me that I should save you, so I did, and naturally I have no regrets. After hearing about it, the teachers also praised me for doing the right thing, and I don't think Chi Jin and I did anything wrong in saving you."
Fu He leaned forward, unable to control his trembling voice: "No, I'm too..."
How can we blame these two children? It is obvious that she is too incompetent and useless to the point where she needs to wait for others to save her.
"Stop."
Ruan Wei said: "Please don't deny this decision, which everyone will praise as the correct one."
There was a slight pause.
She suddenly smiled again, as if that was how beauty should be, with a spring breeze caressing her face and lips. "I'm proud that this is right."
Fu He was speechless.
The girl's voice was calm, as if devoid of any emotion. A ripple of emotion only appeared when she mentioned that name. "I don't think saving you was wrong. If anything, I was wrong for not caring about him. It was because of this oversight that I was punished and lost the person most important to me. It was very painful, so I decided to give up on saving you."
"These are all my selfish motives."
Fu He looked at her and said seriously, "No, I also want Jin'er to be safe..."
"Can't."
"You can't think like that. The sacrificed party must never think like that."
Ruan Wei interrupted again. She looked at Fu He seriously and said word by word, "One person's safety cannot be exchanged for another person's."
Just like Li Jichuan back then and the Penglai Immortal Sect in a certain possible future, the sacrificed party must never take it for granted, neither the mother nor the child.
"You can't give in. You can't accept your fate."
"Fairy Chi, you must know one thing: I don't have the power to decide whether you stay or go, and no one in this world has that right." Ruan Wei's voice gradually became louder and her tone became much heavier: "So-"
"I'm making a mistake by using you to exchange for Chi Jin now! It was me who decided to push you back into the abyss. It was me who changed your fate. You can blame me and hate me openly, do you understand?"
Fu He widened his eyes in surprise and looked at Ruan Wei in disbelief.
This is the first time I’ve met someone like Ruan Wei.
It was like a stubborn rock that refused to yield. The stone man would only charge forward, not giving himself a moment to rest, stubbornly carrying the fate of everyone on his back. Even though the burden was already heavy, he still insisted on moving forward, step by step.
Fu He slowly began to understand why Chi Jin had cast such an extremely passionate gaze on Ruan Wei countless times.
It's hard not to let go.
Such a dazzling person is standing within reach.
After a while.
Fu He suddenly said, "Ruan Wei...can I call you that?"
Ruan Wei paused and said, "Okay."
"Okay," Fu He said stubbornly after pondering for a moment, "I won't hate you, much less blame you. This... all of this is just between Yu Qunqing and me. I didn't discover his true identity back then. You don't have to be like this—ahem, what are you doing?!"
As he spoke, Ruan Wei flicked his finger and flicked something into Fu He's mouth with lightning speed.
Fu He choked and subconsciously wanted to vomit, but the thing melted in her mouth without even a trace of taste, making it impossible to tell what it was.
Fu He was extremely shocked: "What is that... What did you give me to eat?!"
Ruan Weiping's face was calm.
You talk a lot, but it’s okay, just eat it.
