She wanted to be a free person and not accept any constraints, even if it meant contributing to the country.
She has always been firm in her goal. Although it was not very clear before, now she knows exactly what she wants to do and how to go about her future. No one can shake her.
"I don't plan to work in the future, let alone do scientific research. Whether I go to graduate school or not doesn't matter much to me. I have things I want to do."
This kind of opportunity would be better given to those who really need it. Why should she take up a spot? She loves studying and reading, but she just regards it as a hobby. She uses it when it is useful so that she doesn't feel constrained.
"But……"
"No buts. Although it may be difficult, I believe I can do it. People say that when you are poor, you should take care of yourself, while when you are rich, you should help the world. I may not be able to do the latter, but I will definitely work harder than the former."
"I never think that I am better than others, but I am a little bit better than most ordinary people. Just with this little bit, I can help one or more people."
"You know, I haven't always had high expectations for life. Instead of sleeping with my money, I'd rather spend some of it to help those who are suffering from illness."
"Maybe, because I was once one of those people, I can empathize with them better."
Cen Zixiang moved his lips, but didn't express his worries. "Okay, then Fourth Brother, work hard to make money in the future so that you can get more dividends and help more people."
Chen Ye smiled, and his grown-up face had a hint of coldness. This smile blended with his somewhat sharp features: "Thank you, Fourth Brother."
Cen Zixiang smiled and shook his head. Who would have thought that Ye Zi, who had always been cold and almost like a person with emotional deficiency, would have such an idealistic wish and was willing to take action.
It was also last year that he found out that this was what his younger sister wanted to do in the future. He was greatly shocked at the time and was speechless for a long time after hearing it.
He felt that he was not as great as his younger sister in living his life again. He just wanted to make his life more comfortable, but he never thought about helping anyone. He felt that being able to live a clear life was good enough.
Until now, the words from that day still linger in his ears. Just a few simple words have been deafening to his ears.
"Fourth brother, I won't continue studying or working in the unit. I just want to be a free person and travel to every corner of the motherland."
“I will do my best to help those children who are struggling and have no money for medical treatment.”
"Fourth Brother, I may not be able to help many people because I don't have much money, but I feel that if I can help one person, it will free my soul a little."
"Fourth brother, I don't want another Chen Ye in the world, the one who has been locked up in a small room for more than ten years, and can only see the tiny sky outside through a tiny window."
"Fourth Brother, others may not understand, but you should be able to understand me. I feel that I have lived my life freely, but who could have known that my soul has been bound by chains. I want my soul to be completely liberated, to be free and at ease."
"Fourth brother, I often ask myself, what is the purpose of my rebirth? Is it just to make myself healthy and free? I always feel like there is something else I can do."
"Fourth brother, you will... support me, right?"
These words echoed in his ears from time to time throughout the year, like a tight spell, constantly entangling his thoughts.
Yes, others don’t know it, and I don’t know it either. Ye Zi has never gotten over it from the beginning to the end. Her free and easy attitude is just the side she wants others to see, but the shackles in her heart are her secret pain. Who can empathize with her?
Cen Zixiang felt his eyes getting hot, he took a deep breath and smiled: "Sister, go do what you want to do, and leave the money-making to me."
"I can't say I can earn you a fortune, but I will definitely help you help more people, so that those poor children can have a different world of their own."
Chen Ye had a beautiful smile on her face, which made Cen Zixiang feel sad. If, if someone could help Ye Zi in her previous life, would there not be the conflicted and pitiful Ye Zi today?
There are things he can't do, but his sister can do it. He also has a share in his sister's greatness. It's really exciting to think about it.
"Sister, don't worry, your investment in Fourth Brother will definitely be rewarded with a great return."
"Well, I believe in Fourth Brother."
"Well, have you told your third uncle about this?" Although my younger sister is very opinionated, this is a major matter in her life. Does my third uncle really not care at all?
Chen Ye smiled. "I did say that when I was a sophomore in college. My dad was very supportive of me. He said he couldn't support me financially, but he definitely supported me spiritually."
After she came to the capital, she had more opportunities to meet her adoptive father, and the relationship between the two of them was much more familiar than at the beginning. They could not rely on each other without any scruples, but they could talk to each other like close friends regardless of age.
"That's good. As long as Third Uncle doesn't object, you'll have fewer worries on your journey. Do you want me to talk to Grandpa and Grandma about these things when I get back?"
The old couple has been worrying about their personal problems in recent years. Cen Zixiang is already 28 years old this year, and he has never even had a girlfriend. People who don’t know him would think there is something wrong with him.
Their granddaughter is already 24 years old. It is more difficult for girls to find a partner when they are older. Although they think their granddaughter is good in every way, her age is a drawback. They are always worried that she will wait too long and not find a good partner.
"For now, I don't want to. I had a good talk with my grandparents a while ago. I told them that I might be single for the rest of my life and asked them not to worry about finding a partner for me. I'm afraid they haven't digested this news yet, so I'd better wait and see."
Her grandparents are old, and she is afraid that they will receive too much news all at once, which will make the old couple angry. She hasn't been to their house for a while. She is waiting for them to figure it out over time and then she will go over to avoid upsetting the two old people when they see her.
Cen Zixiang paused and asked, "Grandma and grandma agreed?"
"I think... they agreed, right?" She couldn't say for sure. Anyway, when she left that day, the old couple were still immersed in their own thoughts and didn't care whether she left or not. It wasn't like this before.
"Sister, you've screwed me over so badly. We used to be companions, but now you're free. I'm definitely going to be the focus of attention, and my grandparents won't let me go."
