"Shao Xi, I am serious. Before I met you, I thought that my life would be like this. I would always be just a puppet in the hands of others and never be able to control my own destiny. But after I met you, everything you did... It made me understand that no matter what kind of adversity we are in, we should never give up hope in our hearts. Watching you help the children in Dongshi Lane, watching you restore the freedom of the girls in Mingfengfang, especially what you did for me. Everything I do makes me feel that you are the hope in my life. It is your light that shines into my life and changes my destiny. It gives me the opportunity to become a brand new me."
Shao Xi felt like he was sitting on an electric chair by Mei Ruoyan's praise that touched his soul. His whole body was numb, from his spine to his Tianling Cap, and he wanted to escape from the room immediately.
Everyone likes to be praised, but with this kind of praise that is almost lifted to the sky, I always feel like I will fall to my death.
It would be easier for Shao Xi to accept a simple thank you, but comparing himself to the light in other people's lives made him feel unworthy. For Shao Xi, this kind of unabashed praise from the heart would be more enjoyable than beating him and scolding him.
Shao Xi is not afraid of others scolding him, nor is he afraid of others hating him. What he fears most is that others will regard him as a benefactor and be grateful to him every day, so he does not like others to kneel to him.
Maybe some of the things he did brought benefits to others, but for Shao Xi, it was just doing what he liked without harming his own interests. He considers himself not a kind person, nor is he a wise man who cares about the world. He just likes to see people around him live happily, because then he himself will be happy.
"No, no, no! I am neither a light nor a god. You should treat me as a human being!"
Mei Ruoyan was amused by Shao Xi's bewildered look. She didn't expect that a usually high-spirited person would become so embarrassed because of her words, but it refreshed her understanding of Shao Xi.
"Okay! You're a good guy."
When Shao Xi heard this, he immediately felt unhappy and said to himself: "Are you praising me or scolding me? Why do you say that I am like a licking dog?"
"Ruoyan, I am not a person of noble character. Everything I do has my purpose. It's just that I hope that when I do these things, I can take care of the people around me, whether it is my relatives or not. , or friends."
Mei Ruoyan looked at Shao Xi steadily and said softly: "Of course I know that everything you do has its own purpose, but this is what makes you special. Everything you do will always While achieving your own goals, take care of those around you who need help. Just like when you open a school, you may have your own ultimate goal, but your motivation for doing this is to help Mr. Hao and those children , so your purpose is not important, what is important is why you are doing it.”
Shao Xi had to admit that Mei Ruoyan was right. Indeed, many things he did had a purpose. But many times when he did something, although he would consider what purpose it could achieve for himself, it was not for the purpose. Do it for this purpose.
To put it more bluntly, every time Shao Xi helps others, he always cleverly finds ways to benefit himself from helping others. He not only helps others, but also benefits himself. It benefits both others and oneself! This has always been Shao Xi's principle of life.
Mei Ruoyan could see through this layer. Apart from being a little surprised, Shao Xi was also a little moved inside. Although I never expect others to understand me, it always feels good to have someone who understands me.
"Okay, okay, stop praising me! If you keep praising me like this, I won't know who I am anymore. After all the fuss today, I'm not in the mood to listen to music anymore, so I'll go back first. Tomorrow I will ask Shopkeeper Cao from Taihe Commercial Bank to come over and complete the handover of the music studio with Mama Yang. You will be present when the time comes, and I will not come. I will come over another day to listen to you playing the music for me."
After saying that, Shao Xi stood up and was about to leave. Just when he turned to leave, Mei Ruoyan reached out and pulled Shao Xi, signaling him to wait a moment.
Shao Xi didn't know what happened to Mei Ruoyan, so he turned around and watched Mei Ruoyan open the cabinet behind her and take out something from it.
Mei Ruoyan walked up to Shao Xi, handed the thing in her hand to him, and said with a slightly red face: "I have kept the poem you wrote last time, and I have embroidered it into a brocade handkerchief. It can be regarded as a collaboration between you and me. OK. Today you gave me my freedom, and also gave me the rainbow and the divine glass, so let me keep this square brocade handkerchief with you as a thought!"
Shao Xi took the brocade handkerchief and saw that the poem he had written on it had been embroidered by Mei Ruoyan with silk thread according to the original handwriting, completely retaining his own style without any deviation.
A circle of newly blooming plum blossoms is embroidered around the brocade handkerchief, which looks vivid and lifelike. Considering that Mei Ruoyan's surname is Mei, the meaning of this circle of plum blossoms is naturally self-explanatory. If you look closely, you will see that there is a beautiful small character embroidered on the corner of the brocade handkerchief, which is exactly the last character in Mei Ruoyan's name - "嫣".
The woman gave the brocade handkerchief she embroidered to the man, which had a profound meaning, not to mention embroidering her name on it, which showed her love. Although Mei Ruoyan did not say it, Shao Xi But I understand in my heart, but it's hard to refuse.
It's not that he doesn't have any admiration for Mei Ruoyan in his heart, it's just that he had accepted Ye Ziyuan as his wife before. Now that his affairs have not been completed and his great revenge has not been avenged, he would feel unworthy of Ye Zi if he found a new love at this time. Yuan also feels that she has been treated badly by Mei Ruoyan.
Since ancient times, there has been only one first wife, and anyone who marries again is young. Now that she has accepted Ye Ziyuan as her first wife, if she accepts Mei Ruoyan, how should she deal with herself in the future? Didn't she feel wronged?
But it seems inappropriate not to accept the brocade handkerchief in front of me. After all, the poem on it was inscribed by myself, and now it has become a collaboration between the two of them. Placing it in either of their hands seems to be a sign of love.
Shao Xi thought about it and decided to accept it. No matter what, this was Mei Ruoyan's intention. If she returned it like this, wouldn't it hurt the other person's heart?
"Ruoyan, I accept this veil, but you should know that I have many unfinished things, and I have no time to think about anything else until these things are completed."
Mei Ruoyan smiled and said: "Although you have never mentioned it to me, I know that you must have a lot of things that need to be completed. I have no intention of disturbing your life. I just ask that you know my thoughts. As you said He said, even if the sky is full of dark clouds, there will always be clouds and mist, and when the sun shines, it will not be too late for you and me to talk about this again, and I will always wait for you."
Having said that, Mei Ruoyan has confessed her heart to Shao Xi and stated that she has no intention of making things difficult for him. She is only willing to travel with Shao Xi in the world after everything is settled.
Faced with Mei Ruoyan's frank confession, Shao Xi was deeply moved. A woman wants nothing for herself, no status, no reward, she is willing to wait for herself forever, she just wants to be able to walk hand in hand with her in the years to come. Is such a request too much? Do you have the heart to refuse?
Shao Xi folded the brocade handkerchief in his hand and put it into his pocket. He raised his head and said to Mei Ruoyan: "I know your intentions. Since you are willing to wait for me, I will definitely take you with me after I finish all the unfinished business." Leave Daliang, indulge in the mountains and rivers from now on, travel around the world, live a happy life, stay away from the grudges and disputes in the court. If you are willing, I will live up to you!"
Mei Ruoyan walked up to Shao Xi, raised her hand to pull his wrinkled collar, and gently rested her head on his shoulder.
He murmured in his mouth: "You don't have to worry too much. Complete what you should complete with peace of mind. I will always be here waiting for you. If there really is the day you said, even if it is the end of the world, thousands of miles away , I am willing to go with you, and when your hair and my temples are both white, we will find a place that no one can find and spend our lives together."
Shao Xi raised his hand to hug her, but finally put his hand down. Now I can't make any promises to her, and I still don't know what the final results of the things I have to face will be? If he gives her too much hope now, Shao Xi is afraid that one day he will not be able to let her down.
The Feng family must avenge themselves, and the life experience of this body must also be found out. Now in Shao Xi's heart, he no longer puts himself out of the matter like he did ten years ago. Now that the two people have become one, then You must shoulder what two people have to shoulder together, whether it is your own or Feng Yuyan's.
Shao Xi is not sure how things will develop in the future, let alone what the final outcome will be, so at this time he cannot make any promises to anyone, he cannot guarantee anything to anyone, he can only do this Go all the way to accomplish things that he is not sure about.
In fact, if he really chooses to be content now, it is not impossible to choose to lie down, but is this really all he wants? I left a lot of regrets back then. Will I still have so many regrets after coming to this world?
Lao Hu has sacrificed so much for himself, should I fulfill Lao Hu's wish? Feng Yuyan's body has been taken over by herself, so should she do something for him? It would have been fine if he had been a rich young man after time travel, but now that he had been burdened with this, he no longer wanted to escape like before and chose to live in peace.
These are the debts that he has already carried. Before paying off these debts, Shao Xi does not want to owe new debts, so he does not dare to promise anything to Mei Ruoyan and can only let her wait. But what will be the outcome of waiting in the end? I don’t know either.
"Thank you for waiting for me. Although I can't promise you anything, at least I can promise you that I will always keep you in my heart, no matter how long it takes or how far I go."
Mei Ruoyan grabbed Shao Xi's hand and gently replied, "That's enough."
Shao Xi took a step back, moved his shoulder away from Mei Ruoyan's head, nodded slightly to her, turned and left Mingfengfang.
