The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1532 - 1618: From Now On, Smile Like This

She saw a hideous smile on her face, a look that was both bitter and insincere.

Haoming pressed his lips together, "Why are you unhappy?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Though she smiled, it looked like she was crying.

He couldn’t understand this emotion.

"Being by your side isn’t boring. I want to accompany you, protect you—that’s what I want to do."

She always had a crowd around her, and he got too little time with her. Any moment he could spend with her was incredibly precious, and he cherished it.

He had nothing else he wanted to do, because staying by her side, being able to see her anytime and anywhere, was what he wanted most.

He hesitated for a moment, then took out a small booklet from his pocket and turned to a page: "Smile like this in the future."

This is what a happy smile is.

Dong Huiying looked at the sketchbook he cherished and always kept with him, her eyes tinged with red, yet she suddenly laughed and said, "This life is enough!"

Perhaps he wasn’t the one who understood her best nor the one adept at vying for affection, but he was always silently protecting, silently accompanying her—this was his longest-lasting confession.

"I’m sorry..."

She suddenly apologized to him, gently taking his hand.

Though they say both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh, this flesh has differences in thickness.

Love has depths and shallows; the deeper it is, the more it matters, the shallower it is, the less it matters.

I’m sorry, for ignoring you for a long time.

I’m sorry, that I think of others more often than I think of you.

I’m sorry, that even though it was unintentional, I’ve occasionally treated you coldly for so long.

I’m sorry...

She laughed softly, yet hoarsely, touched perhaps only for an instant, but the direct effect of this emotion was a dependent hug.

She buried her face in his chest, gently rubbing.

Then she gathered her spirit.

"Let’s go, I must pry their mouths open today!"

Having successfully adjusted her mood, facing the door of the west wing, Dong Huiying’s eyes held irony, a touch of malice, but mostly determination.

Far off in another place, two people stood together, one in white and one in red.

In red clothing, Shujun’s eyes were empty: "...Second brother, who do you think she loves the most?"

Shu Yu glanced at him, "At least at this moment, it’s not you, and it’s not me."

Shujun smiled faintly, "Have we changed?"

Shu Yu looked a bit dazed too, "I’m not good at these kinds of questions. But if it were older brother and Little Liu, how would they handle it?"

"She relies on older brother the most and cares for Little Liu the most. I think it’s not that we’ve changed, but... she used to hide her worries. When we asked her to change into someone who immediately reveals any worries instead of bearing all burdens alone, she followed what we said. She changed herself while we were accustomed to her former self, always thinking she still was the same, assuming she was okay even if she were alone."

Shujun covered his face in despair, "I think I’ll never be able to forgive myself."

Since morning, he had been thinking for a long time.

He really was too ’at ease’ with her.

If, if during these days in Nanling, he hadn’t been by her side, if anything had really happened to her... he felt very afraid.

"Before I knew it, I became complacent. I still love her very much; I don’t know how to handle this situation. Right now, I’m even quite lost; I could dissolve Huizi Store and not feel regret at all."
