Chapter 127 Xiaobing, you can be capricious, I will bear the consequences
"Did you manage to achieve it back then?"
"No." Ren Ye shrugged. "I couldn’t do it myself, so I pinned my hopes on you."
"I’ll try."
"You should say, ’I’ll just be casual about it.’ You don’t need to live for anyone else. You only experience life once. Why spend most of your time and energy on others?" Ren Ye genuinely felt for her. "You don’t owe Fu Ya anything. When Fu Ya took you home years ago, you brought her much joy and warmth. You took meticulous care of her when she was ill, so you’ve already repaid her kindness. You don’t need to feel regret for her passing either. Countless parents in this world pass away without their children by their side, and you don’t see those children retracing their parents’ past paths, trying to live out some unfulfilled part of their parents’ lives for them."
"Xiaobing, Fu Ya died, Qin Jinhai died, your child died... The connections you had with these people were only meant for a certain stretch of your life’s journey. Time is like that; it slowly takes away the things you cherish, until you have nothing left. The people who tugged at your heartstrings the most are all gone. You should live the way you want to. We, the people still here, are your gifts, not your burdens. Understand?"
Ren Ye had wanted to tell her this for a long time, but he didn’t seek her out.
He waited for her to appear before him on her own.
He had always watched Fu Ya, and therefore, he had also kept Fu Bing in his sights, knowing her journey hadn’t been easy.
This hardship wouldn’t resonate with the general public.
In their eyes, Fu Bing already possessed so much; any further complaints would seem like affectation.
Who would choose to be an orphan, not knowing where they came from?
Who would want to be forced to bear the burden of making a living while still in high school?
