Chapter 49: King Rui Confesses
This small vendor was indeed eloquent. Rong Zhuo now truly felt the simplicity and joy of the common people. He took the wrapped doll and gave it some silver. For the first time ever, he even smiled at the vendor to show his gratitude.
On the way back with the doll, he no longer felt the discomfort he had just felt. Now he truly felt like an ordinary person, without having to worry about other people's stares at him.
"Take a look." Rong Zhuo handed it over.
Chu Sishui opened it and took a look. "What a delicate doll. The girl dances ballet really well, and the boy's vibrating vibrates on the violin. My husband, you picked it really well."
Rong Zhuo, "How do you know these?"
Chu Sishui said, "I used to like Western things. My mother bought me a lot of books on this subject before she died. The books said that in the West, lovers usually have the woman dancing and the man playing the piano, just like these two dolls, which means a perfect match made in heaven."
Rong Zhuo looked at the dolls of Jiaou Tiancheng and felt that buying things and talking to people were not so bad.
He wrapped up the doll in his hand, saw someone selling cheese, remembered that she liked to eat it, and set out again.
"Boss, give me a portion of yogurt with some osmanthus honey."
The cheese shop owner was already fond of this young man, and he also saw that he was very kind to his wife, so he scooped a large bowl full, wrapped it with something and handed it to him, "Young man, this is your cheese."
Rong Zhuo saw his actions and thought, "The boss is kind-hearted. Business will be prosperous in the future."
The owner of the cheese shop smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words, sir."
Rong Zhuo turned around. In the past, he always wanted to disappear in the crowd as quickly as possible, and he pushed his wheelchair very fast. But today, he slowed down and felt the surge of people around him.
The princess was still waiting for him in the same open space. She was wearing the blue flowered dress he had picked out for her today. She sat elegantly on the stone bench, looking at the male doll. The scattered sunlight fell into her eyes, like a galaxy, bright as the scorching sun.
She tilted her head and saw that he had bought it, so she put away the doll and waved to him, "Come here, husband."
The voice was soft, but contained infinite encouragement.
She has accompanied him on this journey for too long, and now it is time for him to move on.
He pushed the wheelchair closer and closer, his heart pounding. Just as the saying goes, one is always nervous when seeing the woman he loves.
He was finally able to buy his wife's favorite things like a normal man, but he was afraid that she would have to wait for a long time and be unhappy.
He handed the thing over like he was offering a treasure, "Try it quickly, this cheese won't taste good if it's heated."
In fact, he also wanted to say that this was his first time buying something, and the first time he was so nervous, afraid that she would say it was not delicious.
After he was confined to a wheelchair, he never again experienced how ordinary people get along with their wives.
Now she gave him the opportunity and taught him how to do it.
He had a thousand things to say but didn't know how to express them, so he could only sincerely hand over the things he bought.
Chu Sishui took it and said, "What did you just say to the boss? He was so happy."
Rong Zhuo, "He scooped a big bowl for me, and I wished him good business."
Chu Sishui, "Really? You can wish others well now."
Rong Zhuo, "Didn't you say that I should talk more?"
Chu Sishui opened the lid and fed him a mouthful with a spoon, "You did a great job. Look, our cheese is much more than others."
Rong Zhuo asked nervously, "Then do you think I can give you a normal life like a normal man now?"
It turns out he has been struggling with this.
Chu Sishui said, "In my heart, you have always been a normal man, and we have always been a normal couple. It's just that you walk differently from others. Others' husbands walk beside them, but you walk in front of me. But it doesn't matter."
"The most important thing is that you have given a lot, far more than the average man. If I were to define you, you are an excellent man, a man who knows how to think for his wife, a good man."
Rong Zhuo swallowed the sweetness in his mouth, took the bowl and fed her, "Then are you willing to spend your whole life with this good man?"
Chu Sishui tilted her head, "Have I ever expressed my intention of not spending my whole life with you?"
Rong Zhuo shook his head, a surge of excitement and sweetness in his heart, "Since you agreed, you can't regret it. I think I still owe you a lot, and I can only slowly make it up to you in this life."
"I didn't know what it was like to like someone before, but now I think loving someone means always feeling indebted. If I could stand up again, I would like to marry you again, would you be willing?"
Chu Sishui blinked her wet eyelashes, "Can I understand that you are confessing your love to me?"
Rong Zhuo, "It's not just a confession, it's me telling you my wish. We are not like other ordinary couples who express their feelings before marriage and then get married after some things. There are too many factors for our marriage.
"You said before that you fell in love with me the first time you saw me. I don't know if it's true. If you were attracted by this skin, it is still incomplete after all."
"What if you change your mind in the future? So I often wonder if you will leave if I can't stand up. After all, this is such a faint hope. Even if you leave, I probably won't blame you. This is your freedom and what you should do."
"You have given me a lot. Since we got married, I have experienced so many emotions that I have never experienced before. If I really can't stand up, after you leave, I think I won't know how to live. So, I want to change, I want to be who I was before, I want you to see what I was like before, and I also want to stand up again for our future."
Chu Sishui took a breath and wiped her eyes. "I used to think you couldn't say sweet words, but that was a misunderstanding. But now you want me to cry on the street? That would be embarrassing. I think I should go back and tell you."
Rong Zhuo, "This is an open space, no one will pay attention to us, and why should we go back to tell such an important matter?"
Chu Sishui said, "Because I want to kiss you, are you sure you want to be here? I don't know what to say to you. I think it's better to take action than to be moved. Didn't you say you would work hard for our future? I am very touched, very happy, and I believe in you. Since you have made a promise, I will wait for you to stand up and marry me again. In fact, I didn't feel anything on the day of the wedding. I was always thinking about what kind of person you are. Now listen carefully, I agree to your request, and I will accompany you all the way."
Rong Zhuo calmed down his excitement and said, "I think you are right. We should go back now. I also want to kiss you."
Chu Sishui smiled. She thought, if flowers bloom at a certain time, then she must have waited for it.
