Chapter 333
333 A beautiful future, a warm present (2)
“Did I mention your sad past?” Chi zuxu was a little apologetic.
“No, I didn’t!” The old man shook his head and laughed. it’s been many years since a young man has listened to me. I haven’t seen my wife for many years too. I really miss her. I thought this earthquake would bring me to her side, Yingluo.
When the old man talked about his wife, his eyes couldn’t help but tear up. He couldn’t stop saying, ” my wife is the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen in my life, Yingluo.
Chi zuxu chuckled when he heard that.
He felt that he had probably seen the most beautiful girl in his life.
His chest could not help but feel a little bitter at the thought of Chi Yi.
I wonder what that little girl is doing now, Yingluo.
“My legs were amputated in the second year of my marriage to my wife. Back then, I was really disheartened. I quarreled with my wife every day, quarreling and arguing about getting a divorce and asking her to leave. She allowed me to be so unreasonable every day, and she still worked hard by my side without complaint, bringing me tea and water, cleaning my sh * t and peeing, without a single complaint! Then, she encouraged me to wear artificial limbs and learn how to walk. Yingluo, you don’t know how uncomfortable it was to put those artificial limbs on this leg. If it wasn’t for her encouraging me, I might still be lying in that one-meter wide bed!”
Chi zuxu was surprised to find that he and this disabled old man had similar experiences when they were young. Hearing the old man talk about his past reminded him of himself and Chi Yi, and he sighed inwardly.
old grandpa, I won’t hide it from you. I’m going through a similar tragedy as you did when you were young. I’m also seriously ill and might be paralyzed for life. Coincidentally, I also have a girl I really, really like, Yingluo.
Chi zuxu’s heart ached at the mention of Chi Yi. I hid my illness from her and tried every possible way to push her away. Now that she’s leaving for America, I’m afraid that I can’t bear to let her go, so I fled here, my dear.
The elderly man shook his head with a sigh at Chi zuxu’s words and only asked, ” “You like her?”
“Of course.”
“You really like it?” The old man asked again.
“I really like it.” Chi zuxu nodded.
“You don’t like it!” The old man denied his words. if you really like her as much as you say you do, how could you bear to let her leave you? If you really like someone, you shouldn’t be thinking about how to push her away when you’re in trouble. Instead, you should be thinking about how the two of you can get through this together!”
“She shouldn’t have experienced that! She’s only 18 years old, and she still has a lot of youth waiting for her. How can I be selfish and tie her to a disabled person?”
“You’re the one who’s truly selfish to have such thoughts and say such things! You’ve never put yourself in her shoes and thought about anything for her! What you’re thinking now is just your own opinionated self! Are you so sure that she’ll be happier after leaving than being with you? Are you so sure that she’ll be able to find a man more suitable than you? What if she really found a man who didn’t know how to cherish him for the rest of her life? Perhaps the man was an alcoholic, or a gambler who played with his life, or even domestic violence. He would punch and kick your lover all day long. When that happened, would you still think that pushing her away was the right decision? Young man, let me tell you, whether she stays or leaves, it’s not up to you to decide. That’s her decision. You should tell her the truth and let her decide for herself! Otherwise, she’ll be your lifelong regret, Yingluo!”
