"Deng Chen, are you tired?"
Ying Han had been holding his immobile left arm since he came in, and he was the one who took care of her even after walking such a long distance.
"Not tired."
"Fire, hold me up for a while, you take a break."
"No, I can do these too."
"Why are you trying to show off? It's just the two of us now. If you're tired, you can just tell me. I don't want you to be too tired."
"Hanhan, you don't need to waste your time on me. Pei You is a perfect match for you."
"He's not suitable. I know what I want. I want someone like you, calm, responsible, with a sense of justice, who knows how to take care of others, who feels sorry for others, and who wants to leave home. I want to stay with my parents. For this reason, Pei You is not suitable."
"I'm not as nice as you say. Sometimes when I get angry I can be scary, but you just haven't seen it."
"So when you lose your temper, will you just yell at anyone without caring about anything?"
“…”
Deng Chen was silent, and Ying Han knew that he wouldn't say, "Everyone loses their temper, not just you, I do too. When I lose my temper, I'm very unreasonable.
But there is a solution. If I lose my temper and become unreasonable, you don't have to reason with me or agree with me. You just need to coax me. I'm actually very easy to coax. Once I calm down, I'll be fine."
"Just coax him and he'll be fine?"
"Well, yes, Deng Chen, can't we really give it a try? Don't you have any hope in your heart that I will really be a good wife?"
"Hanhan, I'm not suitable for you."
"I don't want to hear that. What I want to hear is whether you like me at all."
"..." Deng Chen turned his head to look at Ying Han in the dim light, sighed slightly, turned back, looked into the distance quietly, and remained silent.
"If you don't like me, why don't you refuse when I hold your hand? If you don't like me, why do you touch my head? If you don't like me, why do you let me lean on your arms? If you don't like me, why don't you refuse when I cling to you unreasonably all day long...
Then tell me today whether you like me or not. I just want you to say one thing.
If we have been together for such a long time and you really don't feel anything at all, but instead think that I am causing you trouble.
Then I will never bother you again from now on."
Ying Han stared at him through the dim torchlight.
Deng Chen wanted to say that he didn't like it, but he couldn't say the words that went against his own feelings.
After several rounds of hesitation, I finally mustered up the courage and said in a soft and low voice, "I like it."
Ying Han had been waiting for these words for a long time. When he heard them spoken from his mouth, he felt indescribable sweetness in his heart. "If you like me, why do you keep rejecting me? Just because of that imperfect hand, your inferiority complex, your lack of courage, and your feeling that you can't give me happiness?
But you are wrong, I don’t care about these things, what I care about is your kindness to me and your constant thoughts about me, everything else is just a passing cloud.”
"Hanhan, you are wrong. In real life, those things you think are trivial are all important things that can destroy a marriage.
It’s the little things that are the root cause of an unhappy marriage.”
"Deng Chen, are you afraid? Afraid that we will become like that after marriage. Are you afraid that you will be unhappy, or that I will be unhappy."
"I'm afraid you'll regret it. My arm might never heal. If you really follow me, all those gossips will always surround you."
"I'm not afraid, I don't care about these things. I never regret the choices I make."
"Hanhan, you..."
"Enough, I don't want to hear your explanation. Deng Chen, you are the one who is afraid. You have been running away. You are not even as good as a woman like me." Ying Han felt uncomfortable after hearing such words from him too many times.
Interrupting him, Ying Han, regardless of the pitch-black twists and turns, simply shook off his hand and ran away.
He hadn't run far when he tripped over a rock below and fell to the ground.
Deng Chen couldn't see where she was, he only heard a muffled groan.
He nervously took two steps back, calling her name, "Ying Han."
"None of your business." Ying Han only felt a burning pain in her hand, probably because the skin was broken. After hearing Deng Chen's nervous voice, she stood up stubbornly. This time she didn't want to compromise and didn't want to hear any more rejection.
After enduring the pain, he got up and stumbled out.
Even if Deng Chen held a torch, he couldn't run as fast as her.
When I chased after him, he had disappeared.
Ying Han actually didn't run far. He hid aside and listened to Deng Chen calling him.
Suddenly, a feeling of sorrow and grievance welled up in her. Tears fell like cotton wool, continuously dripping down her lips, bitter as coptis chinensis.
She just got angry for no reason because she didn't want to listen to Deng Chen's so-called truths anymore.
She felt that when two people are together, it is not something that can be explained by theories.
Life is lived by oneself, and relationships also need to be managed by both parties.
As long as two people love each other and have each other in their hearts, nothing can hinder them.
He hid in the haystack and felt sad for a while. Then he wiped his tears and was about to get up and leave.
As a result, my feet became numb after squatting for too long. When I stood up, I lost my balance and fell backwards.
The grass was so tall that she had no idea there was a steep slope next to it.
With a sound of "Ah...", he fell down.
She didn't even have time to call out Deng Chen's name.
Deng Chen, who was not far away, vaguely heard some noise from this side, but when he ran over, he found nothing.
"Yinghan, where are you? Come out quickly and stop being so angry. The wind is blowing and we have to go back quickly."
"Girl, I was wrong, don't be angry."
Unfortunately, Ying Han couldn't hear what Deng Chen said.
...
"The wind is picking up. Have the people on the opposite mountain returned?"
"Director, he hasn't come back yet."
"The two young men who came to play haven't come back yet?"
"yes."
"The wind is blowing so hard, we definitely can't take the cable car."
"What should we do? There will be heavy rain and strong winds tomorrow."
The director frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Now we can only go around the foot of the mountain. If they are smart, they should go down the mountain. Let's go and meet them."
"This is the only way now. Let's hurry over. It's quite a distance from here to the foot of the mountain, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk on. It will be midnight before we get there."
"Hurry up and find a few people and follow me."
After discussing with the scenic spot staff, they rode their bicycles to the other side.
On the way, we happened to meet a few people driving a military vehicle. We kindly reminded them, "What are you doing? We just came over there. It looks like it's going to rain."
"Comrade, we need to go to the foot of the mountain ahead. The inspectors who came from City A today are stranded there. We need to go and pick them up. Thank you for your reminder."
