He revealed his cards directly, and Qi Yalan was dumbfounded.
She stared at him blankly, unable to believe it, her voice trembling, "What did you say?"
Fu Yunzheng turned his eyes away, not daring to look at her. He took a deep breath and continued, "I said, let's join hands. Xiaolan, I'm already like this, and I don't want to delay you. You don't have to sacrifice so much for me."
Qi Yalan stared at him for a long time without saying a word. It was so long that Fu Yunzheng finally couldn't hold it in any longer and turned around to see her red eyes.
There was shock and anger in her eyes. When her eyes met his, she laughed angrily: "Fu Yunzheng, I guess this is how you see me in your heart."
This was said in a rather mocking tone. Fu Yunzheng said anxiously, "Xiaolan, that's not what I meant."
"What do you mean?"
"Who do you think I am? I retreat when faced with problems and run away when I see you in trouble. Fu Yunzheng, if you really loved me, you wouldn't insult me like this. You...why do you have the right?"
At the end of her speech, she felt extremely aggrieved and couldn't help but shed tears.
Seeing her cry, Fu Yunzheng felt extremely distressed. He was at a loss, not knowing how to comfort her. He could only repeat weakly and faintly, "I didn't, Xiaolan. I just, I just didn't want to delay you. I didn't mean to do that. Don't think like that."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe her tears, but when he saw those horrible and hideous scars, he paused. Her face was full of pain and inferiority. He wanted to comfort her, but he felt unworthy.
Yi Yalan did not miss the expression on his face, nor the stiffness in that moment.
She also felt very uncomfortable, both heartbroken and distressed. He couldn't bear to see her sad, so how could she bear to see him suffer?
But she also knew his pride and helplessness. What he needed least at this moment was worthless pity and sympathy.
So, Fu Yalan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a resolute and almost overbearing tone: "Fu Yunzheng, I tell you, I saved your life, you are not allowed to say that! Since I don't have a way to save your life, maybe I have a way to cure you. Don't even think about giving up on me, and don't even think about giving up on yourself, do you hear me?"
She had a serious expression, a rare sternness in front of him. Fu Yunzheng looked at her and couldn't help but smile, a bitter smile.
This was the girl he had set his eyes on: smart, fearless, resilient and courageous. However, with him in this state now, was there really any way he could recover?
He was a little skeptical. Qi Yalan was thinking that if the spiritual spring water had helped Fu Yunzheng recover, perhaps drinking it regularly could actually help. So, she quickly found a cup and poured him a cup of the spiritual spring water from the thermos she had brought with her. She urged him repeatedly, "Drink more water, Fu Yunzheng. From now on, you must make sure not to waste a single drop of the water I bring you. Drink it all. Do you understand?"
She knew that no matter how softly she spoke to take care of Fu Yunzheng, it would seem like sympathy and pity to him. Since his pride couldn't bear it, she would just try a different and more domineering approach to treat him.
Sure enough, this trick is still effective. Fu Yunzheng nodded and silently took the water and drank it.
Xiao Yalan thought he had listened to her, and she felt relieved. However, Fu Yunzheng thought she was trying to coax him, so he couldn't help but say again, "Xiaolan, please think about it. I really can't delay you."
Yi Yalan was furious and really wanted to scold him, but seeing how fragile and helpless he looked at this moment, she felt extremely distressed.
After all, she couldn't bear to say harsh words to him, and at the same time she was very touched that even in such a state, he still remembered to think about her in every way.
