Chapter 137 In my barren land, you are the last rose
After reacting, Gu Yanying was somewhat helpless, and she chuckled and refused: "Auntie, no need."
Jiang Yufeng was a little stubborn: "Why not? You are a man, are you really not going to get married and have children in this life?"
Gu Yanying looked at her, smiled and nodded: "It's good to be like you. I thought you would understand me."
"I understand, but I also feel bad!" Jiang Yufeng said helplessly, "I know that what I say now is not pleasant, and it may even make you feel annoyed... But Yanying, I don't want to see you live like this for the rest of your life."
"The reason why I never got married is because I have no interest in marriage. I only want to study medicine and practice medicine. But you are different. You have someone in your heart."
"Don't tell me you don't like her. If you didn't like her, you wouldn't behave like this. I'm not married, but I'm not blind."
"You don't care about yourself at all. You think of her more than yourself."
"But you are all alone, watching her being affectionate with someone else and having children. You can bear it for a while, but can you bear it for the rest of your life?"
While Jiang Yufeng was speaking, Gu Yanying put down her chopsticks and continued to smile faintly.
He didn't say a word in rebuttal after she finished speaking.
After a long while, he finally said, "I can."
Jiang Yufeng looked disapproving, but before she could say anything, Gu Yanying chuckled and said, "Five years."
"Five years from now, I will seriously consider the major events in my life."
But by then, if fate was predetermined, he would either no longer be alive or would have given up on it long ago, and there would be no need to consider it.
He had no intention of changing Jiang Yufeng's mind and understood her, but he would never enter into marriage.
He doesn't need marriage and doesn't want to waste an innocent girl. He doesn't deserve it.
Jiang Yufeng hadn't thought of that. When she heard him say that, she immediately smiled and nodded kindly, "Okay! You're only 23 or 24 years old. There's really no need to rush. As long as you don't live a lonely life, that's fine."
"I don't force you to get married and have children, I just hope you don't trap yourself for the rest of your life. It would be better if you could forget about the wrong person and find a suitable partner to live with."
Gu Yanying remained calm and nodded with a smile.
After dinner, Gu Yanying returned to the office and continued to practice calligraphy and meditate.
This time I didn't write with a brush, but with a hard pen.
(I am a desperate man, a word without echo.
Lose everything, and gain everything.
The last rope, my last wish, sings for you
In my barren land, you are the last rose.
——"The Last Rose" by Neruda)
His handwriting is elegant and graceful, with a hint of sharpness yet not overtly sharp.
After writing, he closed the notebook and put it deep in the drawer.
…
The illness came like a mountain falling on her. Su Lingyu took some medicine, hoping it would reduce her fever, but her temperature quickly rose to 39.5 degrees.
The fever made her eyes dry, her head dizzy, and her body weak.
It turns out that last night’s low-brow stew was just a prelude.
But she knew that Wang Yu had been told by Huo Yan to stay outside the courtyard gate. When Qin Zhen said she wanted to contact the Huo family, she held Qin Zhen back and said, "No need. Just take me to the courtyard gate."
"Let me go home with you."
Qin Zhen asked for leave to accompany Su Lingyu home. She saw that she had taken medicine and slept well in bed before leaving. Su Lingyu also asked her to go to Chenjia Lane to visit Chen Mancang's family.
Feeling sorry for Su Lingyu's sickly look, Chen Yuxiang started scolding Qin Zhen as soon as she left.
"How did that bastard Huo Yan take care of his wife? He was so energetic that he could go up the mountain to hunt tigers, but his wife had a fever of over 39 degrees! No, I'm going to call him and scold him!"
Huo Jianguo was helpless and took off his glasses and said, "He is on a mission now. Where can you contact him?"
Chen Yuxiang laughed and said, "Yes, I can't contact him. Can I scold you? Ha! If a son doesn't teach his parents well, it's the fault of the father. Is it okay for me to scold you?"
Huo Jianguo: “…”
How could the status of this family continue to decline?
Is there any justice in the world?
"Huo Jianguo, speak!"
Huo Jianguo said righteously: "Curse, curse, curse, just don't get yourself upset!"
Chen Yuxiang snorted, but she was not really angry.
Huo Jianguo put on his glasses and continued reading the newspaper, smiling to himself: This tactic of retreating to advance is a good one. I'll teach this to my son next time, so he won't be scolded as much as possible.
At this time, Su Lingyu, who was lying on the bed, lost her sleepiness because the system's excited voice shouted: [Host! Our merit points have been credited! ]
Su Lingyu's eyes lit up: [How many? ]
System answer: [Save Chen Lingling, reward 1 merit point. Save the villagers who died in the mudslide disaster, reward 98 merit points. Huh? Save the innocent people persecuted by the infinite organization, reward 10 merit points? ]
Su Lingyu was also puzzled: [Isn't it that I didn't have time to report it? Did Huo Yan find it himself? Could it be that he went into the mountains because of me and discovered the secret base in the mountains, so he gave me the reward points? ]
The system said: [Maybe.]
Su Lingyu: [No matter what, a reward is better than no reward. Xiao Tongzi, my merit points are enough, can I start my first cleansing of essence and marrow? ]
Su Lingyu's voice is full of expectations.
