Late at night, he walked to Ling Xue's door. Staring blankly at the room where the candlelight had long been extinguished, he turned around and sighed.
Although the moon was obscured by dark clouds, its brightness still shone through the cracks. This brilliance was neither urgent nor ostentatious, requiring careful observation to discover.
He recalled the day Yingying had said to him in his dream, "Go away. I want you to live well. I will live well. I never blame you. Don't let me down. Live well. Live well for me and serve my parents."
He always remembered Yingying's last request: live well and serve his parents. He always did so. He listened to Yingying the most.
He also tried hard to make himself happy. Only in this way could he not make Yingying in the sky sad for him.
He couldn't forget Yingying, let alone stop loving her. Even though Lingxue loved him deeply and was willing to sacrifice her life for him, he still couldn't bring himself to let go of Yingying and accept Lingxue instead.
In his opinion, rashly accepting Ling Xue would be a betrayal of Ying Ying; being with Ling Xue while he still hadn't let go of Ying Ying would also be a betrayal of Ling Xue. Moreover, he was a thorn in Ban Tian Yue's side, so being with him was simply too dangerous.
So, I kept avoiding it and was in a dilemma.
But my mother-in-law said that we can't live in the past, nor can we live in the future. Cherish the people around us and don't let ourselves regret it.
Where should he go?
He recalled a summer many years ago when he and his father sat in the yard, picking beans and chatting.
"Stinky tofu, people say 'you can't have your cake and eat it too.' If you had to choose, would you rather have the fish or the bear's paw?"
"Dad, can I choose both?"
"You deserve a beating! You're so greedy!"
"Then let's choose bear paws. Bear paws are more expensive..."
"Haha, you really are a money-grubber."
"Dad, what do you choose?"
"Me? I want both."
"Wow, Dad, you're so greedy! What if I can only choose one?"
"Of course, whichever you grab is yours. If you keep hesitating, you'll lose both!"
Yes, if he keeps hesitating, he will lose both the fish and the bear's paw. He understands the truth, but how can he let go of Yingying?
"careful!"
"It's great that the mayor is crying for me."
"City Lord, Ling Xue is happy with this."
"Even if I can only be Princess Yingying's shadow in this life, Ling Xue thinks it's worth it."
"Renhe, yesterday cannot be retained. Yingying is gone, but Lingxue is still here. To put it bluntly, we are still alive today, but who knows what tomorrow will bring? We can't live in the past, nor can we live in the future. All we can do is to make the most of what we have and grasp the happiness in our hands."
He came back to his senses from the past.
"Yes, I can't let Lingxue down again," he murmured, "but Yingying...will you blame me?"
He looked up and saw that the sky was already getting light.
"Cherish the people around you and don't let yourself regret it." His mother-in-law advised him.
He once again recalled the night when he told his elder brother, "Appreciate the one in front of you."
"Don't let Yingying feel sad for you in heaven," said the eldest brother.
"Brother, I understand, that's why I'm living a good life now. All the memories, every moment with Yingying, are the most precious treasures in my heart."
He touched his chest, which was warm. Isn't the most precious treasure in the heart always there?
Since I can't forget her, why do I have to force myself to forget her? Isn't it better to keep her in my heart?
Ling Xue is not Yingying's shadow, she is also someone worthy of his protection.
"Yingying, you will support me, right?"
He looked up and found that the morning star blinked, much like Yingying's playful eyes.
He smiled.
Amidst the lively sounds of firecrackers and gongs and drums, he once again donned the groom's red robe. A year had passed, and Sister Bing Xin was no longer with him. Now, the one helping him adjust his wedding robe was the imperial guard, Gongsun Heng.
Xiao Douya still clapped his hands excitedly: "Stinky tofu, you are the most handsome today!"
He smiled and patted the little bean sprout on the head: "When you, a stinky bean sprout, get married, she will definitely be more handsome than me, a stinky tofu!"
"City Lord, the auspicious time has arrived." Gongsun Heng said.
He nodded, took a deep breath, smiled, and walked with a firm step.
----He is ready.
"Huangfu Renhe, are you willing to marry Princess Lingxue? Whether rich or poor, healthy or sick, you will always be by her side, cherish her, love her, protect her, and never leave her for the rest of your life?"
"I do," he said firmly.
Amid the applause of the crowd, he once again remembered what Yingying had said -
"Go away. I never blame you. I will live a good life."
"Stinky Tofu, meeting you is the best thing that has ever happened to me."
He came to his senses and held Ling Xue's hand even tighter.
Yingying, I will never forget you. But I will live well.
I will be happy. We will all be happy.
When you fall in love with someone, you want him to be happy.
And those who love us also hope that we can be happy.
Therefore, true love should not be blocked by cowardice. Past loss does not mean that the right to love and be loved has been lost forever.
Treasure the happiness of the past in your heart. The happiness of the moment will also become wealth in the future.
Don't let the shadow cover your heart forever. Walk out of the cloud and head towards the wider sky.
We must always move forward, because the past is the past.
