Chapter 707: I Found a Place Where I Can Pick Stars
"Really, Chen Fan. You're running too fast. I'm finding it harder and harder to keep up with you from behind."
Su Ruochu sat on Chen Fan's lap, looking up at him, gently caressing his cheek with her hand, her eyes full of tenderness.
"You know, I even secretly wondered, what is it about me that's so great, why would you like me?"
"When you confessed to me at school before, sang to me, many people discussed it on the forum. They asked, 'What gives this girl the right?'"
"What gives her the right to be by Chen Fan's side, to be Chen Fan's girlfriend?"
"Some girls even openly confessed to you on the school forum."
"Some said their face was prettier than mine, some said their figure was better than mine, and others even said... their breasts were bigger than mine..."
At this point, Su Ruochu paused, a blush appearing on her small face.
"I told myself not to pay attention to this, but how could I not take it to heart? My boyfriend is too excellent, he attracts the attention of too many girls. There are many girls who are more excellent and prettier than me..."
"Later, I even registered an alt account to secretly debate with those girls on the forum..."
Seeing Chen Fan's strange expression, Su Ruochu pouted and said with grievance.
"I'm just a young girl, you know. When they want to discuss my boyfriend and try to snatch him away from me, I get angry too, I get jealous too. Why should I pretend I didn't see it?"
Chen Fan smiled and gave a thumbs up.
"My wife did the right thing, well done."
"Don't talk. I'm not finished yet."
Su Ruochu glared at Chen Fan, then continued her monologue.
"Later, I even overheard girls discussing in the dormitory building."
"They said we would break up sooner or later because there will always be women around rich men. And I had no advantages..."
"Of course I was very angry, but in my heart, I felt more nervous, insecure, and confused."
"Chen Fan, do you know how excellent you are?"
"You're running so fast, I gradually feel like I can't keep up with your pace."
"Before graduating from university, I secretly considered many things."
"I thought maybe I should just give up, marry you right after graduation, be a good wife, stay at home to support you and raise children."
"But then I worried that if I did that, I would become less and less attractive in your eyes."
"No, you wouldn't!" Chen Fan hurriedly shook his head.
But Su Ruochu said, "I would."
"No couple can maintain the same passion as when they were in love after getting married."
"Those relationships that remain unchanged only exist in movies and TV dramas. Reality is reality."
"I would worry, what if I lost my attraction to you? What if I became an old hag in the future and you didn't like me anymore?"
"So I thought maybe I should join the company to help you, but then I thought, forget it. I know nothing about business myself, entering the company would only put you in a difficult position. Not only would I not be able to help, but I would become your burden and pressure..."
"Later, I figured it out. No matter how hard I try to catch up with you, I will never be able to."
"Since that's the case, why should I be obsessed with staying by your side?"
"I don't want to become a useless vase in your eyes, and I don't want others to think that I'm always controlling you, watching you..."
"I decided to be myself, to pursue my own dreams. So I chose to apply for graduate school. I chose to make myself more and more excellent."
Su Ruochu reached out to caress Chen Fan's cheek, "In this life, I don't want to be your subordinate, I want to forever be the pure love in your heart."
Chen Fan looked at Su Ruochu, his eyes deep with emotion.
"In my eyes, you have always been the pure love of my youth, never changing."
Su Ruochu grinned, "So I decided to find my own life goal. I studied hard, worked hard, until I came here..."
Su Ruochu suddenly pointed, "Look, the starry sky, isn't it beautiful?"
"In the half month since I came here, I suddenly realized that I seem to have found the meaning of life."
"I found a place where I can pick stars."
Su Ruochu wrapped her arms around Chen Fan's neck: "Do you remember what you said when you were pursuing me?"
Chen Fan looked into Su Ruochu's eyes and said word by word.
"Even if you like the stars in the sky, I will climb up there, pick the stars, string them into a bracelet one by one, and give it to you."
Su Ruochu suddenly leaned in happily and kissed Chen Fan on the cheek.
"You still remember. This is your reward."
Chen Fan smiled: "I understand."
"Since my wife likes it, go ahead and do it. I will always be your solid support."
"Thank you, husband."
Chen Fan suddenly stood up, holding Su Ruochu.
"Alright. Chat's over, time to sleep."
Su Ruochu hugged Chen Fan's neck tightly, leaning her whole body against Chen Fan's embrace, smiling happily.
......
The next day, Chen Fan was woken up by the sound of children reading aloud.
Getting up and coming out of the door, Chen Fan first looked inside through the window.
In the classroom sat about 20 children. Su Ruochu, changing her gentle and soft demeanor, held a wooden stick in her hand, walking back and forth in the classroom like a stern little teacher.
Seeing this scene, Chen Fan smiled slightly.
Without disturbing her, he came to the playground alone.
Breathing in the fresh air, he saw the sun just slowly emerging from the top of the mountain in the distance.
The thick fog on the mountain gradually dispersed, and the beautiful scenery in the mountains was like a beautiful woman who had lifted her mysterious veil, finally fully exposed to Chen Fan's view.
So beautiful.
Chen Fan suddenly felt a bit intoxicated.
This kind of scenery can never be seen in the city.
Behind him was the naive reading sound of children in the classroom, in front of him was a fairy-tale-like scenery.
At this moment, Chen Fan suddenly understood.
To truly love someone is to let her live her life the way she likes.
Ruochu said she found a place to pick stars, so what he should do is to protect this dream of hers, to build a cloud ladder for her, to gradually touch the starry sky.
The reason Chen Fan wanted to take Su Ruochu back last night was twofold.
First, the conditions here were too harsh. He felt sorry for his wife.
Second, although Chen Fan didn't know much about Li Jiagou, he knew that the big earthquake 3 years later would happen in Sichuan.
And the places most severely affected by the earthquake were Wenchuan, Yingxiu, Beichuan...
Before coming, Chen Fan had checked the map. Li Jiagou was less than half an hour's drive from Beichuan.
This was what Chen Fan was most nervous about.
But now, Chen Fan understood.
His wife likes it here. So fully support her in doing what she likes.
As for feeling sorry for her working environment, this was nothing to Chen Fan anymore.
He had plenty of money. He would first find a way to build a house here in the next couple of days.
At least build a livable house for his wife first.
Then when he goes back, he'll find a way to rebuild the primary school here, improving the children's learning environment.
As for the future, if Su Ruochu still wants to continue this dream.
Then he'll go all out to invest money in building buildings, building earthquake-resistant school buildings.
Wherever his wife goes to teach, he'll build buildings there.
In one's lifetime, one should do something interesting.
Building school buildings not only supports his wife's favorite career but also accumulates good deeds. Chen Fan thought it was quite good.
As for the fact that building buildings in the future would cost a lot of money.
Chen Fan felt that money was the least of his concerns now.
