Hua Wuxin just pretended that Tang Chen and Wang Yanzhou had never been here, and ignored Hong Yu beside him. He turned around and asked, "Senior, what do you think?"
Prajna said very pertinently: "Let me put it this way. Without having seen it with my own eyes or experienced it personally, I would only believe half of what the princess said."
In fact, Tang Chen's reasoning had already made Hua Wuxin want to live and die with Wang Ruo. According to her, Wang Ruo had an incurable disease, and there was nothing she could do except wait for death. However, he still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping to hear someone tell him that Wang Ruo was still fine. "Then, does the senior have a way to cure Wang Ruo's illness?"
Seeing the expectation in Hua Wuxin's eyes, Prajna could only close her eyes slightly and shook her head: "Forgive me, I can't do anything."
The last glimmer of light in Hua Wuxin's eyes slowly faded at this moment. If this was destined to happen, he would no longer embarrass Prajna: "...I understand. Thank you, Senior."
Prajna reminded her, "According to the current situation, if a person can live for more than a hundred years, she can only hold on for another month at most. I don't need to teach you what to prepare."
"I see."
Jiang Ling and Wang Ruo can be considered a pair of star-crossed lovers. They finally got the recognition of the Bugui Peak and got together, but who could have known that such an accident would happen suddenly? No one would have thought that Jiang Ling, who was supposed to die, would come back to life.
He had thought they would be together forever from now on, but he hadn't expected that after just a few days of tenderness, they would be torn apart again. Prajna was also human, and now that Jiang Ling was in this state, if he still took her away by force as he had originally imagined, wouldn't that be too heartless?
Therefore, Prajna also said truthfully: "I originally wanted to take you back to see her after the consultation. Given the current situation, I will come again in a month. Then, I hope you can abide by the agreement between us."
Hua Wuxin gently held Wang Ruo's hands, which were covered with yellow spots and bulging blue veins. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he said softly, "I'm still alive because I can't let her go. If she really passed away, I would be nothing more than a walking corpse. Don't worry, senior. This time, I won't deliberately avoid you."
Prajna patted Hua Wuxin's shoulder and sighed softly, "...She doesn't have much time left. I know you're feeling bad, but at least let her spend these last days happily. If you keep a sad face, she will treasure you dearly and will naturally be affected by your mood."
"I understand, thank you for the reminder, senior." While speaking, Hua Wuxin's eyes never left Wang Ruo's already aged face.
In fact, from a certain perspective, isn't everything right now? In the past, Jiang Ling always thought about how to make her already broken body support a few more years, so that she could stay by Wang Ruo's side and accompany her for a few more years, even if it meant wearing another person's face and bearing another person's name.
Wasn't it true that the promise of growing old together, which had been impossible to wait for, had finally come true in a sense? He had imagined countless times in his dreams what Wang Ruo and he would look like when they were old. Now it seemed that Wang Ruo and the person in his dreams were exactly the same.
Prajna was already a hundred years old. Although she had never experienced love affairs, she had seen them many times. "I will make a medicinal recipe for her later. Although it won't have any effect on the outcome, it will at least make her life more comfortable and less painful."
After saying that, Prajna looked at Hong Yu who was standing aside and seemed to want to talk to her alone and said, "Miss Hong Yu, if you have something to say to this old man, why not come along?"
After making room for Hua Wuxin and Wang Ruo, Hong Yu couldn't calm down for a long time because of Tang Chen's words: "Senior, since you know Shi Zairong, can you... Never mind, what Tang Chen said is just her speculation, it may not be true."
Prajna stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "It's best that Miss Hongyu thinks this way. Speculations based on hearsay shouldn't be taken seriously."
Hong Yu said that life is a matter of fate, and she could let it go. However, Tang Chen's comment that Shi Zairong was no longer the same Shi Zairong had troubled her. She insisted on a clear answer. Apart from anything else, she just wanted to know who the person she loved, the one she would spend her life with, was.
"When you leave later, could you please take a detour to the small town outside Zhiyoulin where South Vietnamese soldiers are stationed and take a letter to Shi Zairong for me? No one knows my identity; going to him now would only cause trouble for both of us."
Prajna said, "If it's just a letter, then it can be done. Go back and write the letter first, and then give it to me."
Hong Yu bowed slightly and said, "In that case, Hong Yu would like to thank you first."
"You're welcome, young lady."
The young couple who had left early were now walking quietly hand in hand on the path from the hot spring villa to the military camp. The atmosphere was a bit solemn, which made people feel inexplicably awkward.
Tang Chen had already secretly glanced at Wang Yanzhou several times, but she didn't know if he was playing dumb or really didn't notice, as he just kept pulling her forward. Plus, she wasn't one to enjoy being alone in the company of others, so this kind of atmosphere felt a bit like punishment to her.
After a long sigh, Tang Chen patted his stiff face. After finally making preparations, he looked at Wang Yanzhou with a heartless expression and asked, "Hey, you said you would take me to the military camp to help, but you didn't say a word all the way here. Tell me what I should do. Let me tell you, Qiu Liang is really afraid of children. Those two kids are making a fuss, and I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it and run away."
Wang Yanzhou looked ahead seriously and said, "...I'm thinking."
Tang Chen asked with a smile: "What are you thinking about? Thinking about life?"
Wang Yanzhou also smiled and replied, "Thinking about what you just said can be considered thinking about life."
Tang Chen knew that Wang Yanzhou had been silent all the way because he was definitely thinking about what had just happened. She had already thought about it when she asked Hong Yu to call Wang Yanzhou over. Based on her understanding of him, he would definitely say on the surface that he would never believe it, and then he would quietly think about it by himself.
Therefore, Tang Chen had already thought of words to comfort him, and was just waiting for him to give him a chance to speak: "Oh, those are just nonsense, don't mind it. Isn't it that Boss Hua has been making things difficult for the old man? I just said this casually."
