Chapter 212.1: Who Exactly Hurt You, Hurt Her (2/2)
Sometimes, even if you didn’t want it to, life would still continue. Tomorrow, the sun would still rise the way it did every day.
“Aiy, child.” Feng Wu sighed and didn’t continue to try to persuade her. She simply stood next to her and silently watched the rain that had already grown heavy. Rain fell and flowed down the eaves, making pattering sounds and blurring the scene ahead. In the rainy night, even the brightest lights in the city turned dim and hazy.
“Big Sis Feng Wu!” Tang Doudou felt very apologetic when she saw Feng Wu standing next to her, but she didn’t know what to say.
She bit her lips. She wasn’t the type to be immersed in her sorrow and worries even if she hadn’t finished thinking through things. Moreover, how could she not be moved when she saw Feng Wu silently keeping her company like this?
“Little Xueyi.” Seeing that Tang Doudou had taken the initiative to speak, Feng Wu once again crouched down and looked into Tang Doudou’s eyes earnestly as she said, “I know what you’re thinking right now, and I also understand how you feel. After you lost your memories, you became different from how you were before. However, I like you as you are now, because you now know what it means to smile, to suffer. You seem much more human.”
“You want to leave all of these conflicts and entangling worries to go live a nice and simple life, right?”
She had been alive for almost a hundred years; how could she not be able to tell what was currently troubling Tang Doudou?
“I…”
“But there are simply too many things that are binding you down like countless thorny vines. It hurts to struggle, but also hurts when you don’t struggle.”
Feng Wu’s words were exactly right. Tang Doudou’s mood had just improved but now she felt distressed again. It didn’t just hurt. After hurting, she still couldn’t struggle free. It was pain layered on pain.
“However, isn’t life simply like this? Any place where there are people, there is a Jianghu. If the Jianghu was metaphorically compared to those thorny vines, even if you struggle free from these vines, you would still enter another patch of vines.”
“Rather than trying to struggle painfully, why not make yourself become strong and sharp!? Cut through the entangling vines! Then, even if you enter another patch of vines, you’ll have nothing to fear!”
That’s right!
Why did she have to struggle? Why didn’t it occur to her to just cut through it!?
Fleeing from things would only make things more complicated. Matters would only be resolved if she faced them. As long as it was a problem, there would be a way to resolve it!
These words immediately made Tang Doudou feel enlightened. She looked towards Feng Wu gratefully. “Thank you, Big Sister Feng Wu. I understand now!”
Only then did Feng Wu give a gratified smile and offer Tang Doudou her hand. “Let’s go, come to Big Sister’s place and tell me what happened.”
“En!” Tang Doudou replied happily as she placed her hand in Feng Wu’s palm. However, she almost instinctively retracted her hand when she felt that chilling cold. She knitted her brows. “You…”
“Whose life is easy ah!” Feng Wu sighed as she pulled Tang Doudou up from the ground.
Tang Doudou suddenly recalled that Su Yi and Feng Wu looked completely different from their ages. Could it be that their current states had something to do with why their hands were so cold?
