Chapter 23 Loyalty is the Choice
The whole house has four courtyards, progressing layer by layer, square and orderly, exquisite and elegant charm without losing everyone's majestic momentum.
There is a pond in the courtyard. The stream flows through the depths of flowers and trees, winding through the corridor, like a crescent moon surrounding half a house. Through the sparkling lake, the active koi carp hiding under lotus leaves can be seen faintly. .
The old lady's house is located on the east side, adjacent to flowers and trees. The breeze blows by and smells the refreshing fragrance of flowers.
At this time, the servants were working in an orderly manner. Jiang Mu walked in and spoke first, "Old lady, Miss Chen is here."
"Let her come in!" the old lady said anxiously.
Shen Qingqiu stepped in and said, "Suddenly, the visit disturbed you, the old lady."
"Look at what you said." The old lady took Shen Qingqiu's hand with joy and walked to the sofa to sit down. "You can come to see me, I don't know how happy I am."
She looked at Shen Qingqiu's fair little face, her complexion improved a lot, but she still lost a little. "How is your body recovering?"
Shen Qingqiu replied obediently, "Thank you, the old lady, for worrying, it's much better. How are you? I don't know you've been discharged from the hospital..."
"It's okay, I'm an old problem." The old lady looked at the well-behaved and sensible Shen Qingqiu, and felt more and more pity for the girl in her heart. "I heard from Tingshen that he is responsible for your hospitalization this time?"
Shen Qingqiu shook her head slightly, "It's my personal reason."
She knew in her heart that even if Fu Tingshen did not appear, she would have become seriously ill.
After all, how many people can withstand the double blows in their bodies and minds?
Shen Qingqiu always felt that the trauma she suffered in her childhood had trained her heart like a solid wall, but when she was betrayed by her favorite person, she still couldn't bear the heart-wrenching pain.
The old lady could see the lonely expression on Shen Qingqiu's face clearly. She held Shen Qingqiu's hand tightly and said slowly: "People are always greedy. If they have this, they will think about that, forever. I don’t know how to satisfy myself, so changing my mind is instinct, but loyalty is the choice. Even if you let go of your hands, it will still belong to you. If you don’t belong to you, you should let go early. The right to choose always belongs to you."
Shen Qingqiu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he carefully recalled the old lady's sentence, "Changing your mind is instinct, and loyalty is choice."
Love is never a bondage, nor is it a shackle that binds the other person to be loyal to you forever.
"Love is like a beautiful scenery. Two people travel together, but everyone has the choice to get off the bus halfway. You will eventually meet the person who can arrive at the same destination as you." The old lady stretched out her hand and cherished her. He stroked Shen Qingqiu's thin cheeks, "Good child, people live for themselves, not for someone. Being trapped by love will only let down their free and unrestrained self."
Shen Qingqiu looked at the old lady in a little shocked moment, then smiled, "Thank you for your tips."
"You come and talk with me. I must thank you." The old lady laughed happily.
Time passed little by little, and the old lady yawned uncontrollably.
Seeing the situation, Shen Qingqiu felt a hint of apology on his face, "Look at me, I forgot the time when I speak. You have just been discharged from the hospital and should have a good rest."
As she said that, she got up and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, the old lady held her hand and refused to let her go no matter what she said. "It's rare that you are willing to talk to me. Since you have come, why not leave after dinner with me."
"Old lady, I..."
Before Shen Qingqiu could say anything, the old lady interrupted quickly, "I know I am old, you young people dislike me, you all day long know how busy they are, and they even eat with me, the old woman.
I can't even squeeze out the effort of a meal."
After saying that, she glanced at Shen Qingqiu, lowered her eyes lonely and breathed a sigh of relief, "Since you want to leave, just leave. Anyway, I've gotten used to being alone in the past few years."
