158: Chapter 137: Moving into Her Dreams, She Thanks Him _2 158: Chapter 137: Moving into Her Dreams, She Thanks Him _2 Nanxi pursed her lips and said, âActually, itâs quite normal that you are curious about my relationship with Mr.
Lu.
After all, nobody would be kind to someone else without any reasonâ¦â
Nanxiâs gaze flickered.
Feeling an urge to confide in a near-stranger she had met only a day before, she thought it was not good at all!
Therefore, she stopped talking, only uttering one sentence.
âMr.
Lu is, indeed, a very good and charming man.
As for whether I like him or not, I think no woman would dislike him!
However, I have my own boundaries to uphold, and wouldnât easily step across them.
So if thereâs a word to describe my feelings for him, it would be gratitude, not fondness!â
Lun Ying pursed her lips, stealing a glance at her.
The girlâs delicate face was veiled with an indescribable sense of melancholy, her eyes slightly downcast and her long lashes tremblingâ¦
Indeed, she was a girl who could easily stir oneâs heart!
âSo what do you think love is, Miss Gu?â
âLove?â Nanxi frowned.
She wanted to say that she has been in love with a wonderful boy for six years.
However, during those six years, she seems never to have told him she loved him!
Even when he proposed, she denied him out of fear and uncertainty of the future!
Qiaoqiao once said, if you truly love someone, you would commit wholeheartedly to them, give them everything without any reservationsâ¦
Qiaoqiao also said, every bit of reserve could be a waiting for rebirth?
Nanxi believes, maybe she canât fully commit to Li Weihuan, maybe she does hold something back from him, but has she ever thought of waiting for a new life?!
Truly, never!
Nanxi cast a glance at Lun Ying, then started, âMy mother used to be a local talent.
Young, beautiful, elegant, well-educated.
Yet she did something crazy: She eloped with my father and began a life in a completely strange city, depending on each other for survival!â
Lun Yingâs eyes flickered but remained silent, allowing her to continue speaking.
Nanxi continued, âI thought it was quite incredible, so I once asked my mother if she regretted it.
She said she did regret it.
Not because she risked everything for love, but because she regretted not waiting a bit longer, fighting and striving a bit harder for her loveâ¦
Instead, she chose the stupidest methodâhurting her familyâto achieve her own happiness!â
The truth is, even after my mother confided in me, I still canât fully understand her mentality or her conception of love.
If I must offer an explanation, I think love should be a long-lasting companionshipâ¦
Sharing joys and sorrows so as not to feel lonely, providing strength to each other so as not to feel helpless, assisting each other, tangled till old ageâ¦â
âWhat you said is quite insightful.
Iâm two years older than you and less cultured so my understanding of love is probably a bit different from yours!â
Nanxi looked at her, âHow is it different?â
Lun Ying pursed her lips and said, âI think love is about needing and being needed!â
âNeeding?
Being needed?â Nanxi was a little surprised!
Lun Ying nodded, looking at her, âMiss Gu, when you were a young girl, did you ever fantasize about what your ideal boyfriend would be like?â
Every girl daydreams.
Of course, she did too!
Lun Ying said, âThatâs right!
You expect your future boyfriend to be a certain way, and these expectations reflect what you are lacking in life:
For instance, if you hope he is gentle and considerate, it means you lack care; if you hope he is successful, it means you suffered in your childhood and have a deep impression of poverty;
If you hope he is loyal, it indicates that you have witnessed failed romance and marriages, and subconsciously hope for a relatively perfect oneâ¦â
Lun Ying smiled, âIn other words, whatever you lack now and whoever in the future can satisfy all your needs will give rise to obsession and develop into love!â
Nanxi looked at Lun Ying with newfound admiration.
She didnât expect her to have such a clear and thorough understanding of love.
But upon further thought, Lun Ying was, after all, two years older than Nanxi and had undoubtedly more life experience!
Her opinions were bound to be more pragmatic!
It was the first time Nanxi saw Lun Yingâs smile and she thought Lun Ying was quite pretty!
Nanxi was a little nosy and asked Lun Ying, âDo you have a boyfriend?â
Lun Yingâs expression didnât change, she gave a calm response, âLove is a luxury to me, one I cannot afford!â
Nanxi was startled, seeming to realize it might be someoneâs private matter, so she didnât ask any more!
Gui Xi came in for a round of checks and arranged for someone to give Nanxi a full body examination, confirming that there wasnât much problem with her!
Nanxi also felt that her body was recovering quite well, only feeling a bit dizzy and weak, but it didnât affect her overall wellbeing!
However, as soon as she mentioned discharge, Gui Xi immediately rejected it.
Gui Xi said, âNanxi, as you know, I canât and dare not make the decision about your discharge and hospitalization.
Honestly, your physique is different from others.
For the sake of your health, it doesnât matter if you stay a day or two longer.
After all, someone is footing your hospital bills!â
Upon hearing it, Nanxi felt like fainting.
She thought to herself, this hospital isnât owned by Lu Yinchu, why do you have to listen to him so much?!
Nanxi didnât want to argue with Gui Xi.
After thanking him, she closed her eyes to rest.
Gui Xi tactfully led everyone out of the room, and it quickly grew quiet!

3000+ update today.
Also, to clarify about Authorâs Notes at the end of Xiaowuâs chapters, there is free word count that some people donât understand.
Itâs like this: because Xiaowu asks for votes in the Authorâs Notes on the original posting website, friends from the bookstore canât see it, so to work around that, itâs written at the end of the chapter to get bookstore friends to support Xiaowu too!
Why is it free when itâs written at the end?
It means that Xiaowuâs word count is already full before itâs posted.
Once the publish button is clicked, the cost of that chapter is set.
If I add more to it afterward, even if I added from the original 3000 to 30,000 words, it would still only charge for the 3000 words, not a penny more from everyone!
Lastly, today itâs still 9000 words across three updates, considering Xiaowuâs efforts, please give me some monthly votes, recommendation votes, leave some comments, etc!
Thanks a lot!
