Chapter 643 Extra - Compromise and Surrender
"Next, a severe plague suddenly broke out in the forest, and the prince and princess joined forces to fight the plague."
"So they defeated the plague together, and the princess fell in love with the prince, right?" Fang Miao asked.
Chen Ci laughed: "Fang Miao is really smart, that's exactly it... After the plague, the two of them expressed their feelings for each other and fell in love with each other."
Fang Miao breathed a sigh of relief: "Then they lived happily ever after in the forest, a happy ending!"
Chen Ci smiled, but a hint of disappointment lingered in his eyes: "Yes, happy ending..."
After listening to the story, Fang Miao closed her eyes contentedly, and soon her even breathing could be heard.
Chen Ci tucked the blanket around him, then turned to face Fang Tong behind him. Seeing that she had just finished soaking her feet, he decided to reapply the plaster to her.
"Give me your foot, let me check the situation. I'll put on a plaster later, and it should be fine by tomorrow."
Fang Tong flinched slightly: "Dr. Chen, I can manage on my own."
Chen Ci looked at her and said, "I'm a doctor, I know which spot to apply it to for the fastest recovery."
Fang Tong paused for a moment before handing over her foot, saying, "Thank you."
Chen Ci carefully examined her feet before taking out ointment and plaster to apply them to her feet.
The man's fingers were long and slender, with slightly cool fingertips. He held her ankle very gently, and the cool ointment began to warm up as soon as it was applied, making her entire ankle and sole feel comfortable.
"Get a good night's sleep, you'll be free to do whatever you want tomorrow," Chen Ci instructed. "Try not to wear high heels these next couple of days."
Fang Tong agreed: "Okay. I will follow the doctor's orders."
The two exchanged a silent glance, and Fang Tong looked away first, pursed her lips, and asked again.
"What was the ending of that story?"
Chen Ci was about to get up and leave when she heard her question, so he looked down at her and asked, "What?"
"The ending of that story wasn't a happy ending, was it?"
Chen Cifu sat back down in his chair, smiling as he looked at her: "Why do you say that?"
“Fang Miao is still a child after all. He overlooked the premise of this story,” Fang Tong analyzed. “You said before that the prince was cursed to enter the forest, and he must break the curse if he wants to go home.”
Chen Ci nodded: "That's right."
“The way to break the curse is to make the princess fall in love with him.” Fang Tong shrugged slightly. “But what the princess wants is freedom. Isn’t that contradictory?”
Chen Ci looked into her eyes: "They've all met people they love, wouldn't it be better to live happily in the forest?"
Fang Tong shook his head: "No good."
"Why?" Chen Ci really wanted to hear her explanation.
"In this case, the princess doesn't gain her freedom, and the prince can't go home. What kind of happy ending is that?"
Fang Tong said with a smile, "This can be considered a compromise between the two of us."
Chen Ci was stunned for a moment.
is that so?
Although he had no choice but to return at the time, he would have stayed and lived with Shu Tong in the Wu Dynasty if his choice had not affected Ye Qingning and Lin Feiyan.
Isn't that a happy thing?
Is this kind of happiness achieved through compromise?
Chen Ci gave a wry smile: "Is that so?"
Fang Tong looked at the complex emotions on his handsome face and pursed her lips slightly: "Or, what is the ending of the story?"
This time, Chen Ci remained silent for a long time before saying, "The ending for adults."
Fang Tong thought for a moment and asked, "So the prince broke the curse and went home, while the princess gained her freedom by cherishing her love for the prince?"
