Chapter 119: Sharing Secrets_1
"So, it appears you know everything. Why did Liu Yan tell you, even after I asked her not to?"
Xu Nanzhi complained.
"Don’t blame her. I noticed something was off with you yesterday and forced her to tell me. Why did you try to hide it from me? Do you truly think I’m useless?" Su Chengyu said.
Xu Nanzhi gently shook her head and said softly, "I always believed that you have a bright future ahead, that someday you’ll surpass Hong Zhen Ting, surpass many more individuals and explore wider worlds. I was born boring, my days are numbered, so why bother to add these troubles to you?"
"Aunt Xu, perhaps you were disappointed in the world, thought of life as uninteresting before, but I will show you hope, the beauty and joy this world have to offer."
Su Chengyu, once again, held Xu Nanzhi in his arms. Xu Nanzhi’s body gradually softened from its initial stiffness. She rested her head on Su Chengyu’s shoulder and murmured, "I won’t see that day. To leave with some pleasant memories in the last days of my life is enough for me. I dare not ask for more."
Su Chengyu could feel that Xu Nanzhi was very depressed and pessimistic.
The troubling experiences she had in her past and her current sickness would have driven anyone else insane.
"You said yourself that you believe my future will be bright and thrilling. I need you there with me to witness all of it. I will cure your illness."
Su Chengyu and Xu Nanzhi locked their eyes. His eyes were sparkling with determination, and in the depths of Xu Nanzhi’s eyes, Su Chengyu saw a sense of hopeless despair.
Xu Nanzhi gently stroked Su Chengyu’s striking face.
