Chapter 280: Heart
Huo Biao's remorse and begging made Meng Lansheng completely silent.
"And what are you going to do after that?"
After a long time, Meng Lansheng continued to speak.
Huo Biao's heart was full of bitterness, and the bitter taste that surged to his mouth from the bottom of his heart made him frown uncomfortably, and there was no light in his eyes.
"Just now, I suddenly figured it out, in fact, loving someone is not necessarily to tell her, nor does it have to occupy her, before, I always wanted to get her, I wanted her to understand my mind, but, just now, I found out that those are no longer important, after I heard her nine deaths, I found that in fact, as long as I know that she is safe, healthy and happy, I am happy, then, who is she with, who is the person in my heart? I don't care, I'm relieved, I know that she lives well in this world and is her best friend, and that's enough. β
Meng Lansheng didn't expect to hear these words from Huo Biao's mouth, because with his previous impression of Huo Biao, his appearance as a demon king of the mixed world was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and now he said such a perfect word, which surprised him and made him sigh.
So he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, sighing.
"Alas! When I was young, although my life was very difficult, at that time, I was very simple and happy, working towards a goal every day, not like now, the more I get, the more trade-offs I make, but, General Huo, don't you really want to fight for it? Just give up without even playing? β
Huo Biao shook his head with difficulty.
"I already know her intentions, and her actions have already told me that instead of piercing this curtain without the eyesight, making everyone embarrassed to meet, and even being friends, it is better to take the opportunity to dispel this idea, fulfill her, and support all her decisions, as long as she can be happy, even if the person who gives her happiness is not me...... I just need to protect her as a friend. β
After Huo Biao said this, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and the corners of his eyes were moist.
After the bell girl was pulled back to her yard by Shen Xianhe, Shen Xianhe fixed her on a chair, blocked her way, and made a posture of interrogation.
"Bell, I think you have something to hide from me?"
The bell girl was surprised by Shen Xianhe's posture, and when she heard her questioning, she avoided her eyes with a very weak heart, and asked rhetorically with insufficient confidence.
"Nope...... I'm hiding everything from you...... Did you misunderstand something? β
"I haven't even asked anything, you just say I misunderstood, I misunderstood something, tell me quickly, what are you hiding from me?"
Shen Xianhe looked at the bell girl's eyes fluttering, but he didn't dare to look at her weak heart, so he knew that his guess was right.
"Miss, I really don't have ......."
The bell girl swore to deny it.
Shen Xianhe's eyes narrowed, and he decided not to waste time with her.
"Really? Are you really okay to hide from me? So what's going on with you and Meng Lansheng? Why are you two weird? β
Hearing Shen Xianhe mention Meng Lansheng, the bell girl who was still thinking about how to avoid Shen Xianhe's questioning suddenly quieted down, her face became extremely pale, her eyelids drooped down to cover the emotions in her eyes, and she didn't say a word.
Seeing this, Shen Xianhe put away his joking attitude, turned around and sat down on the chair next to the bell girl, and said tentatively.
"Did he do something? It's okay, I'll clean him up, I haven't seen him for so long, this Meng Lansheng made our bell girl angry as soon as he came, and I will never let him go. β
As he spoke, Shen Xianhe was about to get up to find Meng Lansheng, but was pulled by the bell in a hurry.
"Don't ...... Miss...... It has nothing to do with him, it's me...... It's my own problem...... β
Seeing that the bell girl wanted to speak and stopped, Shen Xianhe sat back on the chair, held her hand distressedly, and said incomprehensibly.
"What's wrong? Bell, don't you like Meng Lansheng the most? Aren't you going to marry him? Why is it twisted like this now? That's not your character, is that? Did something happen? Did Meng Lansheng say something to you? β
The bell girl shook her head anxiously and denied.
"No, it's not like this, Miss, it's me, it's really my reason, he's fine, it's me, it's me who is timid, it's me who doesn't dare to face him, because I'm not worthy of him now, I've grown up, I'm not the innocent bell I used to be, I already know that some things are not what I want."
Shen Xianhe knew in his heart that returning to Miao Jiang and experiencing this series of events would definitely make the bell girl suffer a blow, and it would also make her grow up, and her style of behavior would not be the same as before, and he also knew that it would make her not as heartless as before.
However, she didn't expect that she would make the bell girl so inferior, and even lose the self-confidence she should have before, which is not what she wants to see, although she knows that some things are inevitable, and she can't empathize with the bell girl's suffering, and she needs to bear it herself.
She had thought about many bad possibilities, but she didn't expect this to be the worst one.
She herself has experienced all the grief in the world, she doesn't want the people around her to go through it, those hardships and difficulties, she just bears it alone, she doesn't want the people around her to bear it like her.
She moved the bell girl hard, forced the bell girl to look at her, and spoke to the bell girl in a very positive tone.
"Bell, listen to me, there are some things, I know it hit you hard, but, that's not because of you, you are also a victim of it, you can't be so negative, what is worthy of it, what kind of nonsense is this, you are you, the best you, you have said before, only if you like someone, no matter who he is, as long as you like it, you will not give up, now, what is wrong with you? Meng Lansheng chased him from the capital to Miaojiang, don't you still understand his intentions? β
The bell girl looked at Shen Xianhe with teary eyes, her face full of sadness.
"Miss, you also said, that was the former me, not the current me, I don't have inferiority, it's just that after people grow up, they didn't understand things before, and now they understand, I know that he has me in his heart, and I also know what he chased Miao Jiang for, but I can't be so selfish, I have been writing with him for so long after leaving the capital, I know his ideals, I know his ambitions, I was really happy for him before, of course, I am still happy for him now, but, Miss, I can't be so selfish, I don't want him to give up his dream of struggling for a long time because of me, I, like you, like unrestrained life, although I like him and want to marry him, but I don't want to wronged myself for him, and I also wronged him, instead of forcibly being together, so that both of them are not happy, why not let go, so that it is good for everyone, at least after many years, what remains in each other's hearts is the most beautiful, not because of the sacrifice of one party to fulfill one party, and finally left full of regret. β
Shen Xianhe didn't expect the bell girl to say this, and also thought that she would be really convinced, she has always regarded the bell as a child, although this child has experienced some things and grown up, but what she didn't expect was that this child would be so mature overnight, accept a lot of helplessness in life, and accept that liking does not have to be forced together.
"But, Bell, these are your own thoughts, you haven't asked Meng Lansheng, how do you know what he thinks in his heart?"
"Miss, don't ask, I have always known his thoughts, and he has never hidden me, if before, I would definitely give up my ideas without hesitation to fulfill him, but, after going through so many things, I realized that I was too naΓ―ve at that time, I didn't know that people's hearts would change, I didn't distrust Meng Lansheng, I was just afraid that it would be too late to regret when I understood, so, I am very glad that I understand these now, and there is still a chance to prevent the foreseeable regret, Miss, yes, in fact, I want to thank you, It was you who made me understand that to love others, you must first love yourself, and only by loving yourself first will others love you. β
Shen Xianhe's eyes were full of distress, and he wiped away the tears that kept slipping from the corners of the bell girl's eyes.
"Silly girl, I don't know if my thoughts affect you right or wrong, but no matter what you decide, I support you and stand on your side, you don't want to give up your freedom to fulfill Meng Lansheng, and you don't want to use your feelings to force Meng Lansheng to give up his ideals for you, I think, it's useless to continue to persuade you, so, no matter what, only you are happy."
The bell girl's tears couldn't stop slipping, and she nodded again and again, as if telling herself that she didn't regret it.
After a long while, the bell girl's mood slowly stabilized, she leaned on Shen Xianhe's shoulder, her eyes were scattered, and she muttered.
"Miss, do you see General Huo's intentions?"
As soon as the bell girl finished speaking, Shen Xianhe didn't answer for a long time, and after a long time, just when the bell girl thought she wouldn't answer, she answered.
"yes, I know."
Hearing this, the bell girl got up from Shen Xianhe's shoulder with two swollen eyes like peaches and looked at her in surprise.
"You know?"
Shen Xianhe smiled lightly.
"You can see it, how can I not see it, I'm not so slow."
"And what do you think?"
The bell girl was not as sad as before, and was looking at her curiously with blinking eyes, Shen Xianhe touched her head helplessly and said.
"It's impossible between me and him."
