Chapter 971 - 963: Realization
It was as if something inside his body had been ignited, a curiosity towards danger. If he were just an ordinary doctor, he would never have chosen to enter the prison, living this kind of life now.
"You’ve changed," Liu Rui said to Xiao Yifei when it was just the two of them.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yifei was somewhat unresponsive.
"Haven’t you noticed that you’re increasingly enjoying this kind of life now?" Liu Rui asked.
Xiao Yifei didn’t speak, he began to recall all the things that had happened in recent days. When he first chose to enter the prison, there was indeed a bit of impulsiveness involved. After just entering, he had some regrets—the days in prison were tough, not to mention the uncertainty of when he could leave—with the constant danger of losing his life.
But ever since he met up with Liu Rui, he stopped worrying about these problems. And Liu Rui was right; he seemed to be increasingly enjoying this kind of life, genuinely liking those few people, enjoying their banter, and even liked wandering around every day, learning about the prison’s situation.
For the things about to happen, he had a faint sense of anticipation, not knowing what would occur, but every time he thought about it, he felt a bit excited.
"I’ve changed a bit, I can feel it myself. I do indeed like this kind of life." Xiao Yifei admitted.
"You always were meant for this kind of life." Liu Rui said casually.
Perhaps, Xiao Yifei thought, everyone has fantasized about what kind of life they would lead in the future. He suddenly realized that the reason he hadn’t pursued anything in life before was because those weren’t the kind of lives he truly wanted. Although being a doctor was a profession he liked, he preferred to treat people in places like the battlefield.
