"Zhong Mingwei, I really don't want to mention this matter, and I know you don't want to mention it either. But not mentioning it doesn't mean it hasn't happened," Meiya sighed softly after a while. Then he stretched out his hand to caress Zhong Mingwei's sharp-edged cheeks, and said in a deep voice. "Zhong Mingwei. I have to ask you a question."
Zhong Mingwei nodded: "You ask."
"If in the future..." Meiya looked at Zhong Mingwei without blinking, not letting go of any fleeting expression on his face, "No matter what natural disasters or man-made disasters, you still want to push me away and take care of everything yourself?"
Zhong Mingwei was taken aback, he really didn't expect Meiya to ask such a question, although he had considered this question. But this time he was facing Meiya. But he couldn't say a word, he just stared at Meiya in a daze for a while. He looks away. Adam's apple slipped slightly: "I..."
"Zhong Mingwei. I want to listen to the truth," Meiya suddenly cut off Zhong Mingwei's words. She held the man's face and met his eyes. Seriously said word by word, "I'm going to marry you soon, you have to let me know whether you are worthy of my marriage, and whether I will regret it after marrying you. So Zhong Mingwei, don't lie."
"Girl, since I met you, I know that I have countless guilts in my heart. You have done so much for me, you prepared three meals a day for me, and sewed clothes for me. You didn't have much money in your purse, but you still squeezed it out. I bought twelve books for the money. In such a cold day, in order to let me sleep well, you went to the mountain to fetch water early in the morning..." Zhong Mingwei paused for a moment, he was a little bit reluctant. Going down, people who have received the emperor's education since childhood know best that ruthless and desireless can be invincible, but every time he faces this girl, his heart is unbearably soft. After a pause, he continued, "Girl, if you don't You, I am determined not to be able to stand up again in my life, no matter how good Mr. Gu's medical skills are, I will never stand up again, and I will never live to this day, girl, you are my life-saving talisman."
Meiya didn't say a word the whole time, just listening to him so quietly, her heart was filled with sourness and sweetness, but she held back and just listened so quietly.
"You are really important to me. With you here, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and the willows are green. Without you, there is only a barrenness left in this world. Girl, after I met you, I realized that I am worthless. I have to rely on you for everything, and I want to cling to you all the time, girl, you have really done too much for me, and I am really... really useless, I can't repay you in case, so whenever I encounter twists and turns in my ideas Ups and downs, I always think about how not to drag you down." Having said this, Zhong Mingwei paused, and then continued, "So at that time, I thought so, and I did the same."
"I don't care what you thought in the past, I just ask you now, do you still think like this?" Meiya looked at him and asked softly.
"No," Zhong Mingwei shook his head, mocking himself and saying helplessly, "Girl, I have always been a selfish person. I thought I would change this after meeting you again, but gradually I found that , I have become more selfish. I know that I am sixteen years older than you, but I still want to grow old with you. I know that my legs and feet are not good, and I will drag you down for the rest of my life, but I still look forward to it all day long. I wanted to marry you and be your upright husband, and later... I knew I was barren, but I still didn't want to let you go, girl, why do you think I am such a selfish person?"
"Zhong Mingwei, I just like your selfishness," Meiya said softly, leaning forward and kissing Zhong Mingwei's lips, "If you are not selfish, I would not want to marry you?"
"How come you are such a stupid and good girl?" Zhong Mingwei's nose suddenly soured, and he stretched out his hand to wrap Meiya into his arms.
"I'm not stupid at all, Zhong Mingwei, I know what I want, I've always known it," Meiya leaned into the man's arms, squinted at the fiery red pomegranate tree outside the window, and said softly, "I want you, I want your whole heart, I want you to be by my side all the time, Zhong Mingwei, I don’t have much knowledge, and my memory is not good. You told me a word in the past, but I just can’t remember it, anyway. That is, I want us to sleep on the same bed every day when we are alive, and to lie in the same coffin after death, so that we will not be in vain in this world.”
"Birth and death share the same acupuncture point," Zhong Mingwei said softly while lowering his head to kiss Mei Ya's hair, "Girl, I promise you."
"Then I'm willing to marry you." Meiya raised her head and smiled at Zhong Mingwei with a big grin. "Not only in this life, but also in the next life and the next life."
