No one is omnipotent, and no one has ever experienced grief, powerlessness, and despair in his life.
A real man sheds blood but not tears. This is a weakness that cannot be tolerated on the battlefield for the sake of duty and survival. Except for such life-threatening moments, men and women are the same in Shen Xihe's eyes. They can cry, escape, and vent.
Even the strongest people can be vulnerable sometimes, but some people are very patient and some people are very cold-hearted. Shen Xihe herself belongs to the latter. She is not easily frustrated, but that does not mean she cannot understand the vicissitudes of life.
Xiao Huayong couldn't help but lower his head and laugh.
"What makes you laugh?" Was what she said funny
"I used to think you were out of touch with the world, didn't know the sorrows of the world, and didn't understand the ways of the world." Xiao Huayong smiled and shook his head, "After spending time with you day and night, I realized that you were just... "
After frowning for a moment, Xiao Huayong said, "I just don't care."
She knows everything, knows everything, and understands everything.
As a strong person, she knows that most people in this world are weak, so she never looks down on anyone; having been rich and powerful since childhood, she also knows that most people in this world are poor and common, so she never spoils herself.
She allows others to have defects that she herself does not have and understands why others have them.
Her rationality comes from her broad mind, except for the love between men and women, which she understands, otherwise she would not be able to tell who has feelings for her and who is sincere to her. She just ignored it since she was a child, or maybe she saw the world too clearly, so she no longer needs it.
"You're right. I never really care about love. I'm used to not caring about some things, so I don't care about them." Shen Xihe nodded calmly, then raised his eyes slightly and looked at him, "But I will care about you."
I don't care about love between men and women, but I care about you.
These words were like thousands of fireworks, blooming all at once in Xiao Huayong's head, making his mind full of blooming flowers, the sky clear and the earth bright, and the beauty was overwhelming.
His heart was beating wildly, and he subconsciously put his hand on his chest.
His somewhat stunned reaction made Shen Xihe unable to help but chuckle.
She stood up, looked at Shen Yueshan who was sleeping soundly, and walked out silently.
Xiao Huayong hurriedly stood up and chased after her, until he saw Shen Xihe walking side by side with her. There were villagers coming and going, and he greeted them with a smile. He couldn't help but stretch out his little finger, hooking it twice before hooking it around Shen Xihe's hanging hand, and then holding it tightly.
Shen Xihe did not struggle. As a proper couple, they would not take the initiative in intimate actions like riding together and holding hands, but she would not reject them either.
Xiao Huayong's lips were stretched into a grin, his teeth showing all the way, he held Shen Xihe's hand and was unwilling to let go, he followed her wherever she went.
Shen Yueshan woke up slowly after sunset. When he woke up, his daughter and son-in-law were sitting in his house, chatting by the fire pit. There were roasted meat and soup being cooked on the shelf. His eyes fell on Xiao Huayong's hand which was tightly holding his daughter's hand.
"Crack!" He coughed lightly, indicating that he was awake.
Xiao Huayong was thick-skinned and seemed unaware that Shen Xihe had broken away from him and went forward to serve Shen Yueshan.
