Chapter 810 - 850: Reasons for the Decision
The people in the mountain village followed the routine of rising at dawn and resting at dusk. Although now there was electricity and television signals, and almost every home had a television, these people lived off the land, and this lifestyle had become a habit that hadn’t changed due to modernization. By just after eight o’clock, the entire mountain village had settled into a quiet calm.
Li Yifei had just helped Su Mengxin bathe Xu Yingying. Now, the two of them sat by Xu Yingying’s bed, talking.
"How’s the family?"
Su Mengxin gave a bitter smile and said, "What do you think happened when you took Yingying and left?"
Li Yifei laughed at himself and said, "It must be a complete mess, and everyone is probably blaming me."
"You already know, huh? You left just like that, out of sight out of mind, but the family is very worried."
Li Yifei shook his head, sighed, and said, "I really can’t stay at home. Being there only adds to your psychological pressure, so I decided to leave."
Su Mengxin held Li Yifei’s hand and softly said, "I understand, we all do. You care for everyone, but you feel you owe Yingying, and if you neglect everyone else, you feel guilty about them. Leaving seemed like your best choice."
After a pause, Su Mengxin continued, "But it’s been so long. Haven’t you figured it out yet? Don’t you want to go back?"
Li Yifei hesitated for a moment and said, "For now, I don’t want to go back. The saintess is still treating Yingying. I hope I can bring a healthy Yingying back, and then we can return to our original life."
