Chapter 280 If You Love Him, You Should Let Him Be Happy!
The intent of autumn was like mists, so thick that it was indispensable.
“I love Ruan Yun!”
Cai Tan thought of many reasons, but the words he said were the simplest and most direct answer.
Sun Mo’s brows were furrowed so tightly that they could squeeze a crab to death. “Do you know what you are saying?”
“Yes!”
Cai Tan bitterly smiled. “I don’t want her to be harmed. I hope Teacher can grant me my wis.h.!.+”
“In that case, what about your injury?” Sun Mo counter-asked, “Since you have already guessed that she was the one who poisoned you, why didn’t you take precautions?”
Cai Tan fell silent.
“Because you love her?”
Sun Mo really wanted to say, ‘bro you are the number one simp in the simp world’. However, when he saw the conflicted look on Cai Tan’s face, he didn’t say it.
“Yes!”
Cai Tan had a self-mocking smile.
When Sun Mo told him that he was poisoned, Cai Tan didn’t believe it. However, as Sun Mo used the living blood technique to clear his toxins, it proved that Sun Mo was correct.
At that time, Cai Tan started to suspect Ruan Yun. It was because other than her, no one would have the chance to poison him despite having the motives to do so.
Cai Tan wanted to speak about this a couple of times before, but when he saw the concerned expression in Ruan Yun’s eyes when she looked at him, he gave it up. This was because he loved her. Between her and death, he would rather choose death.
“Since you have chosen Ruan Yun, why do you still want to come for treatment?”
Sun Mo didn’t let Cai Tan get up. “I’m unwilling to accept this!”
Cai Tan covered his mouth. “After I was poisoned, my combat strength declined sharply to the point where I was defeated by Zhang Yanzong and had to leave the Battle Hall. During this period, I’ve seen too many looks of contempt and people rejoicing in my misfortune. I have experienced the coldness and warmth of human emotions. Thus, I no longer wish to see those people looking down on me acting complacent, and I also don’t want those concerned about me to feel disappointed.”
Cai Tan’s recent matters were soon to become his heart demon.
“What are your future plans?”
Sun Mo’s voice was like ice. “Are you going to continue dragging things on?”
Cai Tan was silent because he didn’t know what to do.
“Why don’t you tell me the story between you and Ruan Yun?”
Sun Mo sighed and said mentally, ‘I’m a single dog, I truly have no way to understand the way the two of you view love!’
“We are childhood sweethearts!”
As Cai Tan sank into his memories, his eyes glowed brightly. His countenance and tone were so gentle that they were like warm spring water that could cleanse the hearts of people.
Even a deaf person would be able to hear the love Cai Tan had for Ruan Yun.
Cai Tan and Ruan Yun both had happy childhoods. In his memory, he wasn’t able to fit in with the other children when he was young and would always be bullied by them on the streets. At that time, Ruan Yun was the one who protected him. It was Ruan Yun who took a stick and scared off the children hitting Cai Tan, helping him.
“Ever since we were young, no matter what sort of good items she obtained, she would share them with me.”
Cai Tan smiled.
Sun Mo fell silent as he continued listening. After hearing the memories, he could only conclude that this was love.
“Teacher, I believe that Ruan Yun truly loves me which was what led her to do this. In the end, she will surely give up.”
Cai Tan kowtowed, sincerely begging Sun Mo to keep this a secret.
“What if she doesn’t give up?”
Sun Mo was very angry. “I trust her!”
Cai Tan’s tone could sever iron. After he chatted with Sun Mo, the knot in his heart also loosened. That was right, it didn’t matter what happened. It was enough as long as he loved Ruan Yun.
“If she hopes for me to be mediocre, I will accompany her and we will live an ordinary life for this lifetime!”
“Don’t you wish to become famous?”
Sun Mo asked. “I wish to!”
Cai Tan smiled. “However, my purpose of becoming famous is also for the sake of Ruan Yun. I hope that everyone will be envious of her when she marries me.”
What else could Sun Mo say?
“Teacher, please grant me my wis.h.!.+”
Cai Tan kowtowed.
“Do you know that your potential is extremely high? If you work hard in cultivating, there shouldn’t be any problems for you to step into the longevity or even the legendary realm.”
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight. That was no mistake. Cai Tan’s potential value was extremely high. A person like him was exceptionally rare.
“Without Ruan Yun, even if I lived to ten thousand years old, there would be no meaning in life.”
His reply had no hesitation at all.
“Scram!”
Sun Mo roared. He grabbed a teacup and smashed it before Cai Tan.
Bang!
The teacup shattered.
“I’m sorry, I’ve caused trouble for Teacher!”
Cai Tan respectfully kowtowed thrice. After that, he stood up and left the villa.
The autumn rain felt a little cold when it rained down on his face.
“In the future, it’s best that I don’t come here to trouble Teacher!”
Cai Tan’s expression was one of desolation. After he walked roughly tens of meters away, he suddenly heard a voice calling out.
“Remember to come back five days later for the treatment!”
Cai Tan lowered his head. All of a sudden, tears fell from his face. He had truly let the Teacher Sun down!
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Cai Tan +100. Friendly (345/1,000).
In the villa, Sun Mo opened the room to the door. At the corner of the bedroom, Ruan Yun was seated there. She was hugging her knees with her arms, burying her head within as she cried miserably.
“You should have heard Cai Tan’s words.”
Sun Mo was expressionless.
Ruan Yun sobbed, feeling that she had committed an unforgivable mistake.
“Since you love him, you should trust him. You feel that your talent cannot make it and you are unworthy of him. That is just the standard of you and the majority of people. From my point of view, you are worthy of him!”
Sun Mo poured a gla.s.s of water.
“In Cai Tan’s heart, the reason he loves you has never been because of talent. You have thought of your boyfriend as someone too shallow.”
Ruan Yun’s body shook. She suddenly felt a sense of being enlightened.
“No one can guarantee the future. What if you fell in love with a better man?”
Sun Mo’s lips twitched.
“It’s impossible!”
Ruan Yun shook her head.
“Don’t be so sure. I’ll ask you a question. Have you ever imagined Liu Mubai falling in love with you?”
Sun Mo’s question was very tricky.
Ruan Yun was stunned because she had indeed thought about this before. Liu Mubai was too outstanding. Basically, all the female students in the Central Province Academy had fantasized about him being their dream lover.
Sun Mo had spoken from the bottom of his heart. Hence, Priceless Advice was activated.
A golden light cascaded out. It felt as warm as the sun rays from spring.
Ruan Yun revealed a look of contemplation on her face.
“Don’t think too much. This love const.i.tutes the beautiful youth from the two of you. Just sincerely experience the sweetness of love for now.”
After Sun Mo spoke, he left the room. He had said all that needed to be said. As for what the result would be, it would depend on fate!
(Speaking of which, I’m a single dog giving relations.h.i.+p advice from my point of view. Isn’t this making things difficult for me?)
Sun Mo felt that this world was filled with evil.
A few minutes later, Sun Mo heard the sound of notification.
Ding! Favorable impression points from Ruan Yun +100. Friendly (200/1,000).
The autumn rain continued falling. It had been raining for three days.
Cai Tan walked out of his dorm and saw Ruan Yun taking an umbrella made of oil paper, waiting for him.
“Why are you here? You should rest; otherwise, your condition will worsen!”
Cai Tan hastened his steps and walked over. His tone was filled with a hint of reproach, but there was more concern to it.
“Let’s go. Cough!”
Ruan Yun hugged Cai Tan’s arm. During these few days, because of her feelings of guilt, self-blame, and unease, she fell sick. She only felt better today.
The two of them exited the school. They took a slow walk through the streets amidst the drizzling rain.
Cai Tan had wanted to ask where they were going, but after feeling Ruan Yun leaning her head on his shoulder, he smiled and hugged her.
As long as Ruan Yun was by his side, no matter where they went, it didn’t matter!
A moment later, the two of them entered a house.
“Take a seat first!”
Ruan Yun left. After that, the sounds of pots clanking together could be heard in the kitchen.
“You are making a meal?”
Cai Tan followed her inside.
“I thought I told you to take a seat first?”
Ruan Yun frowned.
“Let me help you!”
Cai Tan rolled up his sleeves.
“It’s fine!”
Ruan Yun pushed Cai Tan out of the kitchen. She was determined not to let him help.
Roughly about an hour later, four dishes and one soup was ready and placed on the desk. Cai Tan glanced at the dishes, his eyes were slightly wet. These were all his favorite foods. He couldn’t help but recall the first time Ruan Yun cooked them. It was also on a rainy day in autumn then.
Ruan Yun then poured two cups of yellow wine. She held the cups in her hands and solemnly glanced at Cai Tan. She was prepared to tell him the truth. “Cai Tan, I...”
“The food you cook tastes awful!”
Cai Tan tasted a mouthful and pulled one of the dishes in front of him. “In order to not let you suffer from the bad taste, I decide to eat it all for you.”
“Cai Tan...”
Ruan Yun furrowed her brows.
“It’s enough. Four dishes and one soup are enough!”
Cai Tan inclined his head and looked at Ruan Yun. When he saw that she still wanted to speak, he immediately rushed over and gave her a kiss on the lips. In his heart, Ruan Yun would always be that perfect elder sister who protected him. He didn’t want to hear her apology. Ruan Yun cried. She knew Cai Tan was doing this because he didn’t want to hear words of apology from her. Matters were already at this stage, yet he was still thinking about her.
After a long time, their lips parted.
“Elder Sis Yun, you still look so beautiful when you cry!”
Cai Tan looked at Ruan Yun. He couldn’t help himself and leaned in for another kiss.
“Annoying! I thought you agreed not to call me Elder Sis Yun any longer?”
Ruan Yun punched Cai Tan lightly. When they were ten years old, Cai Tan said he wanted to be a man that could support heaven and earth on his shoulder. He no longer needed Ruan Yun to protect him and would protect her instead. From that time onward, he changed his way of addressing her, he no longer referred to her as ‘Elder Sis Yun’.
“I was wrong. I have discovered that I still need you to care for me in this life. Hence, Elder Sis Yun, I will have to trouble you.”
Cai Tan grinned and hugged Ruan Yun. “Don’t leave me!”
“I won’t!”
Ruan Yun hugged Cai Tan. She had sorted her thoughts out. She would just enjoy the time she spent together with Cai Tan. If he wanted to leave her in the future, she would simply wish him well.
If she loved him, she should give him happiness!
“Teacher Sun, thank you for stopping me from making a serious mistake. Thank you for saving my love!”
Ruan Yun murmured.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Ruan Yun +100. Friendly (300/1,000).
Cai Tan also felt emotional. Now that he thought carefully about it, Ruan Yun had changed a lot this year. She had many more worries and must have been worrying about him abandoning her. It was laughable that he hadn’t discovered this. However, such a thing wouldn’t happen again. He would show more concern for her.
“Teacher Sun, thank you for letting the Elder Sis Yun I love to revert to her original self.”
Cai Tan stared outside the windows and smelled the fragrance from Ruan Yun’s hair. He knew that this period of gloominess was over.
