Chapter two hundred and ninety-eight: I will live a good life in my next life~
If we had met earlier, and I could have heard you say these heart-warming words to me in those darkest days, would the trajectory of my life have changed?
No one knows this outcome. In dark times, even a tiny bit of light can be enough to support oneself in the journey. Often, just a concerned greeting and a warm embrace can make those who have lost all hope come to life.
Stop in front of the abyss and rein in your horses.
Perhaps in a parallel universe, Lin Xiaoya was lucky enough to meet someone who brought her warmth and strength before her outlook on life was completely destroyed and reshaped?
She had hurt many people, including the girl who took revenge on her before, but she had never regretted it. It was not until this moment that she realized what this emotion called regret felt like.
Facing the girl whose tears suddenly burst out, Ning Yuan didn't do anything extra. He just stood there quietly waiting for her to finish crying, and handed over the unused pack of tissues.
"Thanks."
I don’t know which of Lin Xiaoya’s words of thanks this was. When her mood calmed down a bit, Ning Yuan asked aloud:
"Want to eat?"
"No appetite..."
"good."
He slowly put down his phone, and there was a moment of silence in the atmosphere. Then before he could break the silence, Lin Xiaoya spoke first:
"I'm really happy that you can listen to me talk about my past things...I've been holding these things in my heart for a long time, and I can't find anyone to talk to...Thank you."
"Just think of yourself as the TV station's belated confidant."
Lin Xiaoya looked at Ning Yuan and shook her head: "Not at all, their fake smiles look much more sincere than yours."
After saying this, the girl couldn't help but giggle. Although there were tears in the corners of her eyes, her smile was cleaner and clearer than any smile Ning Yuan had seen her before.
He looked helplessly at the smiling girl lying on the hospital bed, and thought to himself, I just want to comfort you, but this is how you evaluate me?
"Anyway, thanks to you today...you just said that you have a lot of things going on...do you want to try to talk about it too?"
Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and couldn't say anything for a long time. Lin Xiaoya chuckled upon seeing this and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your privacy...it was my lack of consideration."
"That's not what I meant." Ning Yuan shook his head and sighed: "It's just that there are some things that I don't even know how to say."
"Is it related to feelings?" Lin Xiaoya asked.
"Am I so obvious?"
"That's not true." Lin Xiaoya smiled: "Actually, it's because I pay close attention to you. Or, to be more precise, you and Gu Guanxue."
"Why Gu Guanxue and me?" Ning Yuan asked: "Obviously she and I have never been together, right?"
"I don't know about this, maybe it's just a feeling." Lin Xiaoya thought for a while and said, "A feeling that when I see you and her together, I feel like we are a couple..."
Master Ning: "..."
So there really is such a thing as a pure love radar?
"But we are indeed not together." Ning Yuan said: "I confessed to her, but she refused."
"I know that."
"Later I fell in love with Jiang Manyue." Ning Yuan didn't ask her why she knew this, and continued on his own: "Just when I thought I could let go of everything in the past, I confessed to Full Moon without any burden.
When we were together, Lu Jiujiu confessed to me again..."
"I said before that I couldn't handle a lot of things well. It's precisely because I can't handle the relationship between Man Yue and Jiu Jiu now."
"Even... there is also the relationship between Gu Guanxue and me."
Lin Xiaoya was silent for a while after listening, and then she spoke softly: "Although I am not qualified to preach to you about feelings, I only know one truth, and this is also a truth I have learned from my own experience."
"Don't lie to the one you love, because you will regret it in the end."
"And...don't let the people who love you take responsibility."
The girl said this to Ning Yuan in a soft tone but with an extremely solemn expression. Ning Yuan was a little dazed for a moment when he looked at Lin Xiaoya who was so serious. He had been hoping that an outsider could give him some kind of enlightenment and tell him
How should he choose between Bai Yueguang and his perfect girlfriend? Now that this revelation finally came, Lin Xiaoya's words touched a certain door in his heart. A door had already opened slightly, but he was forced to ignore it and not consider it.
's door.
It seems... He has indeed been making people who like him bear all kinds of unnecessary responsibilities and harms. Whether it is Full Moon or Jiujiu, they are still uneasy because of their hesitation. Gu Guanxue is even more so. Until now
He didn't even have the courage to face her determination to force herself. He didn't even dare to tell her how he felt when he heard those words.
Obviously he didn't want to cause further harm, but he just caused more harm to a few girls who liked him. This was not his original intention, nor was it the result he wanted to see.
"What if I say that I like both of them very much?" Ning Yuan spread his hands and said with a smile: "In this case, I seem to be unable to avoid deceiving the person I love."
"Whoever you like, agree to it. If you like them both, then agree to them all."
Master Ning looked at the girl on the hospital bed helplessly: "Lin Xiaoya, this is not a suggestion that a normal person should make."
"Yes, I am not a girl with normal views." Master Lin smiled slightly: "My concept of love is very distorted. Didn't you just listen to my self-report?"
"At least... this way you can give them a chance to choose to continue or quit." She said quietly, with a confused look on her face: "It's better than you tricking them into choosing one and then thinking about the other all the time...
In the end, it will cause another tragedy like mine."
"But in this case, there might not be any left in the end, right?"
"Who told you to like so many people?"
"..."
Lin Xiaoya's rhetorical question made Ning Yuan laugh. He nodded gently with a smile in his eyes:
"Yeah, who told me to like so many."
"You are right. This is my responsibility and should not be left to them. Even if I die alone in the end, I cannot leave the responsibility that should belong to me to the girl I love casually."
"That's right." Master Lin nodded with satisfaction: "A scumbag should behave like a scumbag. You can't be a scumbag and still want to avoid being beaten."
Master Ning: "..."
Lin Xiaoya is from the animation club...which means she knows what the hatchet means, right? What does this imply?
"You should just say that you don't want to be both pretentious and independent at the same time... Listening to what you said, I did seem to be a bit of a scumbag before..." Ning Yuan touched his chin and said: "Obviously there was a vague idea in my heart that I wanted it all, but because of fear and
I have been hesitating because I don’t want to be scolded..."
"Congratulations, Ning Yuan, you finally discovered your scumbag nature."
"Perhaps you are the only one in the world who would smile like that and watch me become a scumbag." Ning Yuan curled his lips: "Maybe this is the only benefit of having a friend with evil views?"
"Maybe?" Lin Xiaoya squinted and smiled. At this moment, she abandoned all the pretense of innocence and pretense before, and her face was truly filled with pure brilliance.
"Although this may lead to a path of no return, I still want to thank you."
"It's me who should thank you."
"Stop torturing yourself by doing those things in the future. Go see a psychiatrist when you have time." Ning Yuan stood up and said, "Maybe the psychological trauma will heal better and you can find a boyfriend before you are thirty."
"No need." Lin Xiaoya smiled and said: "I have already planned my future. I will graduate first, then work, save some money to buy a comic book store, where I can secretly sell some Neon Comic Exhibition books... and purchase goods overseas.
When you are there, you can also visit the Neon Comic Exhibition..."
Master Ning: "..."
"Wait a minute, shouldn't it normally be from a flower shop or a milk tea shop?"
"Why do you think flower shops and milk tea shops are normal?" Lin Xiaoya asked strangely: "I don't like flowers, and I don't like drinking milk tea..."
So you like to watch the Minotaur?
"Then if you purchase goods like this, you will be detained by the customs on the spot. How can there be such a sloppy comic book store proprietress like you?"
"If not, then there won't be." Lin Xiaoya narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a smile.
"I will live a good life in my next life."
Ning Yuan didn't say much after hearing this. Everyone has their own life choices, and he couldn't force Lin Xiaoya to change according to the normal appearance in the eyes of ordinary people.
As long as she feels happy, that's enough.
"I have to go, it's time to bear the infamy and contempt that belongs to me." Ning Yuan said with a relaxed smile: "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. If you want to be a scumbag, you must also increase your hatchet resistance in advance.
"
The long night is coming, I will fight from now on until I die, I will not struggle, hesitate, shrink, be not afraid of the sick, nor be afraid of my father-in-law. I am a strong shield against the hatchet, and a pioneer who refuses to turn my girlfriend into a black man.
, I dedicate my life and glory to the scumbag profession. It will be like this tonight and every night.
A new storm has emerged, how can we stand still!
Face the strong wind!
"I wish you good luck." Lin Xiaoya also laughed.
"Before I leave...is there anything else you need my help with?"
"Well...can you help me ask the doctor what medicine should be prescribed for my situation, and other medical instructions that need attention?" Lin Xiaoya thought for a while and suddenly said: "I want to make a video call with my family. After all,
If you want money, there must be a suitable reason."
"Okay, then I'll go ask for you."
"Hey...wait a minute." Lin Xiaoya suddenly said: "My mobile phone doesn't have much data, can you help me turn on the hotspot?"
Ning Yuan thought for a moment without doubting that he was there. After turning on the hotspot, he put his phone on the table next to the hospital bed. Then he nodded and said, "I'm leaving first. You have a good rest. I'll be back in a while."
"good."
Lin Xiaoya responded like this and watched Ning Yuan leave the ward. She looked at Ning Yuan's phone, as if she was thinking about something in her eyes, and then she smiled softly and unlocked her phone.
She swiped the screen and quickly found Gu Guanxue's number. She touched it lightly and dialed. The phone beeped twice and was quickly connected. A crisp female voice came from the other end.
"Hello?"
"Gu Guanxue. My name is Lin Xiaoya." The girl glanced at Ning Yuan's cell phone and said to her with a slightly panicked tone: "Ning Yuan is in the hospital now. Can you come over quickly?"
…
"Good doctor, thank you for your hard work..."
"You're welcome. Go and see your friend. Let her eat lightly these days and just rest."
After queuing up and asking for the doctor's orders, Master Ning took the opportunity to take a look at what procedures were required for Lin Xiaoya's discharge from the hospital. After everything was finalized, he took some orders and looked at them while walking back, preparing to get his mobile phone to help her get the medicine.
After all this is over, what he has to face next is the choice he must make... To be honest, this wave of awakening by Master Lin's inheritance was something he never expected. However, he did not resist this development. On the contrary, he was very
Thanks to Lin Xiaoya for letting him face the scumbag side of himself honestly.
If it hadn't been for her, he might have delayed two girls who liked him in the end, and he wouldn't have been able to reach the end with them.
Choosing to be a scumbag is actually quite good, at least as Lin Xiaoya said, you don't have to lie to others and yourself. It also allows the two girls to make their own choices, instead of having to passively bear the harm caused by his choices.
.
I want to be a scumbag, but I don’t want to be scolded and disliked... Such a beautiful thing can only be imagined in my dreams. If I am not prepared to lose completely, how can I be qualified to enjoy the glory of a winner?
World peace is just talk. If you want to obtain something that ordinary people cannot have, you must have the courage to break your body.
And the word "shattered to pieces" is really not an adjective. Emperor Jiang Tian might actually let himself die on the spot! Even Jiu Bao may not be able to save him!
But...what the heck!
After figuring this out, Ning Yuan felt refreshed. The entanglements and hesitations of the past few days were swept away, leaving only relief in his heart.
Yes, since I can't let go, then I have to do everything. Even if there is a high probability of failure, and there is even a possibility that the blood tank will be emptied directly by Hattohime Mangetsu, that is what he asked for.
Makoto Ito: That means I am the number one scumbag.
Kuriya Mai: Because I am Kuriya Mai.
Fujii Natsuki: Say, I will protect everything about Hina.
Asano Fengsheng: It is our duty to restore the glory of the scumbag!
Ning Yuan: It’s considered a success if you don’t get hit by the Full Moon Knife.
But even though he said that, it really takes a lot of perseverance and courage to do it... Master Ning thought melancholy. Before he could take another breath, someone hurried around the corner of the corridor not far away.
Busyly a figure appeared.
She saw Ning Yuan from a distance, as if she saw that he was safe and sound, her whole body relaxed suddenly, and then tears welled up in her eyes, and she walked over step by step and hugged her tightly.
Living in Ningyuan, it's like holding on to something extremely precious.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
Master Ning was so caught off guard by Gu Guanxue that he thought something had happened, so he didn't dare to say a word. He just let Xuebao hug him tightly, his body trembling slightly, shocked and scared.
Lin Xiaoya, who saw this scene from a distance, suddenly showed an expression of relief on her face. She looked at it reluctantly, as if to keep this scene in her heart. Then she turned around and walked towards the stairs.
