The reason I stopped you from being transferred back from the military hospital wasn't because I didn't want to marry you, but because I genuinely felt it wasn't necessary.
Sheng Yi was naturally happy to hear her say that she didn't want to marry him.
In his view, as long as it's not that he doesn't want to, then it's that he's willing.
As a result, after a brief moment of excitement, they were then told about the unavoidable realities they faced.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, Zhu Qinghao stopped him.
"Sheng Yi, do you remember what I said? I believe everything will be alright, and I also believe that the current situation won't last long."
In that case, our family definitely won't be staying here for long; we'll most likely be going back to Kyoto. But if you really are transferred here, how will you get back to Kyoto then?
"Besides, you have a bright future ahead of you in the military hospital, so why do you want to come and stay in such a small place with us?"
Furthermore, even if we were to get married, why should it be you accommodating me, instead of me accommodating you?
Sheng Yi's mouth moved, as if he wanted to say that she definitely couldn't leave her family behind and couldn't abandon them here while he went back to the army with her.
Zhu Qinghao also understood his thoughts and smiled as she spoke:
"So you see, I'm selfish too, right? I don't want to leave my family, and I can't leave them here with peace of mind, so I don't want to get married so early and go to the army with you."
That's my current thought, at least, but I can't say for sure whether it will change in the future.
So I hope you'll think more about yourself. We don't need to rush into marriage; that way we can both continue on our own paths. What do you think?
Sheng Yi certainly didn't think so; his idea of 'marrying Zhu Qinghao' was one that was very much for his own good.
"Okay, okay, I don't think there's any necessary connection between the two."
After Sheng Yi finished speaking, he organized his thoughts and continued:
"How do you know that my desire to get married isn't for my own benefit? Even if I apply to be transferred back from the military to marry you, it must still be for my own benefit."
The only difference is that our priorities are different. What I care about is being with you all the time, not achieving great success at work.
"You think wanting to stay with your family is a selfish idea, so why don't you think that wanting to be with you is also a selfish idea?"
Zhu Qinghao felt completely confused. Upon closer inspection, she couldn't even tell which of the two women was being unreasonable.
But she knew in her heart that if Sheng Yi was transferred here for the sake of marriage, it would definitely be a sacrifice on his part.
On the contrary, if she were willing to sacrifice, or rather, not to put her family first, she could have gone to the army with Sheng Yi.
Once the issue was clarified, she spoke again:
"If I said I would suppress my worries about my family and go to the army with you, would you agree?"
Upon hearing this question, Sheng Yi shook his head without even thinking.
"No, because I know you won't be happy like this. You're in an unfamiliar environment, and you have to worry about the situation at home all the time. I don't want you to be like this."
Upon hearing this answer, Zhu Qinghao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"See, I told you so. You were clearly thinking of me, not yourself."
Sheng Yi was slightly taken aback. Is that so?
Something feels off.
Even Sheng Yi, who is usually quick-witted, felt confused at this moment, and his brows furrowed deeply.
He could tell that Zhu Qinghao didn't want him to transfer over for the sake of marriage, but he also didn't want to go against her wishes.
If he were to forcibly transfer himself, it might have the opposite effect.
