As soon as Yun Ge returned, seeing the look on Yun Ge’s face, she knew that Yun Ge knew.
They just hugged each other, quietly embracing.
After a long while, when Yun Ge’s emotions had slightly settled, she pulled Yun Ge towards the head of the bed.
She took out a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, handing Yun Ge a piece of rice paper and a brush. Then, they replaced spoken words with pen and paper, engaging in silent conversation.
It was very clear that Yun Ge was more anxious than Dong Huiying. As soon as she got the paper and brush, she hurriedly wrote down a line: "Has your body already started aging? Although you’ve applied sothing on your face, I can sll it, at least more than ten different herbs."
Dong Huiying nodded and wrote with the brush: "Aging... Did you find out anything on this return to the dicine Valley?"
Yun Ge was deeply troubled: "I found out a little. The situation is not optimistic. There are too few examples of Resurgence; although I’ve encountered it, I hadn’t paid attention to the subsequent situations. This ti I found soone, she was an Ancestors Resurgence, but..."
At this point, Yun Ge’s eyes reddened further.
In just a few years, that Ancestors Resurgence had died. When she rushed there, she arrived just in ti for the person’s funeral.
People said that Ancestors Resurgence died of old age. When she died, she looked like an eighty-year-old lady...
And the books in dicine Valley also recorded so content about Resurgence.
It seems that Ancestors Resurgence is not long-lived, so only endure a few months, so hold on for a few years, but without exception, they ultimately die of aging.
Although Yun Ge hadn’t spoken these things out loud, just by looking at her expression, Dong Huiying already guessed part of it.
She put down the pen and paper, remained silent for a while, then slowly walked to the washstand, picked up a cloth, and dabbed it with so water, then wiped off the ointnt from her face little by little.
The ointnt she applied on her face was like a costic thod, akin to a face-changing technique, allowing her to maintain a youthful appearance. But once the ointnt was wiped off, her true self was revealed.
She slowly turned to look at Yun Ge, who stared at her in a daze, unable to regain her senses for a long ti.
Dong Huiying chuckled softly, then picked up the ointnt again and reapplied it to her face.
After finishing all this, she returned to Yun Ge’s side.
She wrote with the brush: "Perhaps I should be grateful, at least my hair hasn’t gone white, at least it’s still black."
Then, she smiled at Yun Ge with a relaxed expression: "There are many things in this world that cannot be achieved no matter how hard you try. You pour in countless amounts of effort, only to end up with nothing. But no matter what, if we do our best, strive for ourselves, even if the final result is not good, at least we have tried our best. Right?"
So don’t be too pessimistic.
She herself was quite pessimistic too, but apart from those monts of lancholy, she was more willing to cherish every mont of the present, cherish this limited life, limited ti, and these "limited" days they could spend together.
In this matter, she had suffered many setbacks, racking her brains but unable to find a solution, yet she did not give up.
One should not give up until the very last mont.
It’s still too early to talk about giving up now.
Yun Ge took repeated deep breaths, trying to calm herself down, then squeezed out a sowhat forced smile at Dong Huiying.
"You are right."
This silent conversation ended.
But before it ended, Dong Huiying wrote down a line, then tucked the piece of paper into Yun Ge’s hand.
