Wen Ruoshui smiled at him. “You’re awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Tears gathered in Yan Yuanfei’s eyes. He stared at her for a long time before holding her hand. His voice was hoa.r.s.e. “It’s fine. It’s been hard on you.”
When Wen Ruoshui heard his words, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She looked at him accusingly and bit her lip without saying a word.
Yan Yuanfei’s heart ached. He stood up and hugged her gently, wiping her tears. “I’m sorry. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
He knew he wouldn’t be able to hide it from her for long. She was smart enough to pick up on the flaws quickly. He just hadn’t expected the day to come so quickly.
!!
Never mind. Man proposes, G.o.d disposes. If she knew, she knew. He wasn’t afraid of her finding out. He was afraid that if she found out, she’d be sad and on edge.
It was one thing for him to bear such a life alone, but how could he drag her into it?
Wen Ruoshui wrapped her arms tightly around his waist. She felt as if her heart was being squeezed by a pair of invisible hands. The feeling of suffocation came in waves. Only by holding him close and feeling his heartbeat and his warmth could she feel alive.
“Cry!” Yan Yuanfei felt uncomfortable watching her. His big hand gently stroked her back and he said in a low voice, “Don’t hold it in. If you feel uncomfortable, cry. If you want to scold me, scold me.”
She should cry out. Holding it in like this would only make her feel worse and hurt her body more.
Wen Ruoshui finally sobbed softly. Her cries became louder and louder until she finally burst into tears. She cried until she was out of breath, and her tears and snot rubbed against him.
“Be good.” Yan Yuanfei hugged her and frowned slightly. His eyes were filled with heartache, and broken tears flickered.
Oh, her. How could she be such a good girl? How could she not blame him or resent him at all? She should have given him a piece of her mind and asked him what he wanted to keep from her?
Wen Ruoshui didn’t know how long she had been crying, but she finally felt a little better. She looked at him with red eyes.
Yan Yuanfei’s heart ached so much that he felt suffocated. He was about to speak.
“Don’t even think about it. Even if you’re sick in bed and paralyzed and about to die, I won’t break up with you or leave you,” Wen Ruoshui snarled at him. “Don’t talk to me about those grand principles. I don’t understand anything, and I don’t want to hear anything. If you want to tell me these things, I beg you to shut up!”
Yan Yuanfei listened to her say a long string of words in one breath without panting. He smiled dotingly. “It seems that I was overthinking. You’re not angry with me.”
How could this silly girl be so silly and so single-minded? Didn’t she have any complaints about him?
“I heard that rumor before I started dating you. I was always prepared for it.” Wen Ruoshui sniffed. She wasn’t angry, but she was annoyed by his smile. “Is it so funny to see me cry?”
Yan Yuanfei stopped smiling and wiped her tears gently with his large hand. He said in a low voice, “It’s not to the point where I’m sick in bed and need you to stay by my side to take care of me. Even if I’m paralyzed one day and die, I won’t abandon you unless you give up on me first.”
He wouldn’t let himself get that far too. He would lie sick in bed and live without any dignity. He would watch every day as the people he loved suffered because of him.
He would leave with dignity before then.
“If you dare to go back on your word,” Wen Ruoshui warned him, “I won’t let you off even if I die and become a ghost.”
