Chapter 23: Loyalty is the Choice
The whole house has a set of four courtyards, layer by layer, orderly and orderly, exquisite and elegant without losing everyone's majestic momentum.
There is a pond in the courtyard, and the stream flows through the depths of the flowers and trees, meandering under the verandah, like a crescent moon surrounding half of the house, and through the sparkling lake, you can faintly see the koi hidden under the lotus leaves.
The old lady's house is located on the east side, adjacent to the flowers and trees, and the breeze blows faintly and smells the faint fragrance of flowers.
At this time, the servants were working in an orderly manner, and Jiang Mu walked in and took the lead in speaking, "Old lady, Miss Shen is here." ”
"Let her in!" The old lady said eagerly.
Shen Qingqiu walked in, "The sudden visit disturbed you, old lady." ”
"Look what you're talking about." The old lady took Shen Qingqiu's hand with joy, walked to the sofa and sat down, "You can come to see me, I don't know how happy I am in my heart." ”
She looked at Shen Qingqiu's fair little face, her complexion was much better, but she still lost some weight, "How is your body recovering?" ”
Shen Qingqiu replied obediently, "Thank you for the old lady's concern, it's already much better." How are you? I didn't know you were discharged......"
"It's out of the way, I'm in the old way." The old lady looked at the well-behaved and sensible Shen Qingqiu, and cherished this girl more and more in her heart, "I heard Tingshen say that he is also responsible for your hospitalization this time?" ”
Shen Qingqiu shook his head slightly, "It's my personal reason." ”
She knew in her heart that even if Fu Tingshen didn't appear, she would be seriously ill.
After all, how many people can withstand the double blow of body and mind?
Shen Qingqiu has always felt that the trauma suffered in her childhood has trained her impregnable heart, but when she is betrayed by the person she loves the most, she still can't bear the heart-rending pain.
The old lady saw the lonely look on Shen Qingqiu's face clearly, she held Shen Qingqiu's hand tightly, and said unhurriedly: "People are always greedy, with this they will think about that, and they will never be satisfied, so it is instinct to change their minds, but loyalty is the choice, even if you let go of your hands, it will still belong to you, and those who don't belong to you should let go early, and the choice always belongs to you." ”
Shen Qingqiu's eyelashes trembled slightly, carefully recalling the old lady's sentence 'Changing one's heart is instinct, loyalty is the choice'.
Love is never a bondage, let alone a shackle that binds the other person to be loyal to you forever.
"Love is like a beautiful landscape, two people travel hand in hand, but everyone has the option to get off halfway, you will eventually meet the person who can reach the same destination with you." The old lady stretched out her hand and stroked Shen Qingqiu's emaciated cheek with pity, "Good boy, people live for themselves, not for someone, and being trapped by love will only let down their free and wanton self." ”
Shen Qingqiu looked at the old lady with some consternation, and then smiled, "Thank you for the reminder." ”
"You came to talk and chat with me, I should thank you." The old lady laughed heartily.
Time passed little by little, and the old lady yawned irrepressibly.
Shen Qingqiu saw the situation, and a touch of apology appeared on his face, "Look at me, I forgot the time when I talked, you just got discharged from the hospital, you should have a good rest." ”
With that, she got up and prepared to leave.
Who knew that the old lady took her hand and refused to let her go if she said anything, "It's rare that you are willing to talk to me, since you have come, it is better to accompany me after dinner before leaving." ”
"Old lady, I ......"
Without waiting for Shen Qingqiu's refusal to speak, the old lady hurriedly interrupted, "I know that I am old, and you young people dislike me, and you know that you are so busy that you can't even squeeze out the effort to have a meal with me, an old woman." ”
After speaking, she glanced at Shen Qingqiu, lowered her eyes lonely, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Since you want to go, let's go, anyway, I'm used to being alone all these years." ”
