Ruan Tianling looked at her tenderly and guiltily and said, "In the end, it’s all my fault for not taking good care of you."
"Your logic is flawed—no one can control getting sick. Even if we avoid what you said, I would still get ill."
"At the very least, you wouldn’t always suffer, and you’d have more happiness."
Jian Yufei’s eyes turned red as she smiled and asked him, "Do you think I’m not happy?"
"Yes, you’ve gone through so much hardship being with . Now that we’re finally settled, you’re sick again. You’ve never truly been happy since the start," Ruan Tianling said sadly.
He really hated himself for not being better to her back then.
If only he’d loved her from the beginning, she wouldn’t have had to suffer.
"Yufei, I’m such a jerk, but you still chose to love . I feel you deserve better."
"Haha—," Jian Yufei couldn’t help but laugh, "Are you saying I shouldn’t have fallen for you, and should have found a better man?!"
Ruan Tianling nodded seriously, "Yes, you deserve the best man in the world."
Jian Yufei’s laughter stopped and she felt uneasy, "You really think that?"
He was generous enough to let her find another man!
Had he grown tired of her?
Ruan Tianling said in a low, regretful tone, "But currently, besides , I haven’t found anyone who’s the best man in the world."
"..."
"The best man appears once every hundred years, and I guess for this century, it’s ."
"..."
"And in the next hundred years, it will surely be my reincarnation."
Jian Yufei suddenly fell into his arms, unable to stop laughing.
"Ruan Tianling, your narcissism is getting more and more refined..."
"I’m not narcissistic, I’m stating facts," Ruan Tianling said earnestly, making Jian Yufei laugh even harder.
The previously heavy atmosphere beca light and cheerful thanks to Ruan Tianling.
Jian Yufei understood that he always beca narcissistic just to cheer her up.
She also realized that every ti the mood seed off, he would imdiately change the topic to make things light.
She was deeply moved by his thoughtfulness.
...
Jian Yufei had a nosebleed, and Ruan Tianling naturally wouldn’t let it slide.
He took her to the hospital for a check-up, and the conclusion was always the sa—the condition was worsening.
Isn’t that obvious?!
Her body was definitely deteriorating every day, it wasn’t going to miraculously improve!
But every ti Ruan Tianling heard it, he felt very upset.
Jian Yufei thought it was best not to go to the hospital; every visit just brought more distress.
On the way back, Ruan Tianling kept his lips tightly pressed, looking very troubled.
Jian Yufei decided to talk to lift his spirits: "Ruan Tianling, I have a riddle for you."
"What?" He asked, reluctantly trying to cooperate.
"How many steps are needed to put an elephant in the fridge?"
Ruan Tianling glanced at her, his look seed to say: Asking such a childish question—are you the silly one, or do you think I’m silly?
Jian Yufei knew it was childish too, but she just wanted to lighten the mood.
"Hurry up, tell how many steps, there’s a reward for the correct answer."
"What reward?" Ruan Tianling asked, interested.
"What reward do you want?"
"Knit a scarf."
Lately, Jian Yufei had so free ti and occasionally knitted scarves, but she only made them for the two kids, not Ruan Tianling.
For that reason, he had been sulking for several hours.
