Chapter 2211: That’s Why

“At that time, I thought that I could not let my son join the army in the future. It was enough for you to worry about your husband. I could not let you worry about your son. I also hoped that my son would learn medicine from you and be as powerful as you. When the injured soldier needed him, he would be able to save more people.”

He had poured his hopes onto his son.

If he were to leave, that child could become Jiang Yao’s sunshine for the rest of her life, warming her and accompanying her.

He also hoped that the child would become the reason for her to live well.

Lu Chenyang. He only thought about her, the one person he could not let go of.

Everything that he could arrange revolved around her.

Jiang Yao did not say anything. She quietly reached out and took Lu Xingzhi’s hand.

Perhaps it was because of the clouds, but the moonlight that fell through the window suddenly disappeared. The entire room suddenly became dark.

Jiang Yao suddenly spoke, “Actually, you don’t have to say those words anymore. One day, if you have to leave me, I won’t marry anyone else. I will raise our child and watch him grow into a man. I will look for you when my hair is white, and the heavens don’t allow me to live anymore.

“Once you are gone, I know there won’t be a second Lu Xingzhi for me in this world. No one else can replace you. No one will dote on me as you do. You are irreplaceable.

“If you’re not around, when the child grows up and has his own family and leaves me, I’ll be alone for the rest of my life. I’ll eat by myself, sleep by myself, watch TV by myself, and read by myself.

“It is pitiful to be alone. I can’t cook well and can’t change a light bulb. I might not be able to find someone to help fix it. I might be sick in the middle of the night, and I might be unable to find someone to pour me a glass of water. I might even have to talk to the air.

“If I’m too cold, no one will whisper in my ear that I’m not allowed to turn on the air conditioner. Even if I eat ten popsicles daily and drink a box of cold sodas, no one will care about me. Even if I can do whatever I want, I’ll be lonely.”

“Let’s not talk about that anymore.” Lu Xingzhi tightened his grip on Jiang

Yao’s palm. “That day will never come.”

Her words made his heart ache so much that he wanted to slap himself.

“That’s why you have to live.”

Those words were light, but that was what Jiang Yao wanted to say the most after saying so many things.

“No matter what, you have to live.”

“My life will only have meaning if I’m with you, and I won’t be so lonely.

He had not been by her side for a few short days, and she had missed him so much that she was going crazy. She did not dare imagine how she would endure that kind of extended absence.

That was not the first time Jiang Yao had said that, but it was the most heart-wrenching moment for Lu Xingzhi.

Lu Xingzhi turned on the light and wanted to hug her, but the first thing he saw was the tears rolling in her eyes.

She was a girl who loved to laugh. She was beautiful when she smiled. Why did she have to cry so much after marrying him?

“Don’t cry,” Lu Xingzhi coaxed her gently. “I won’t let you cry again. Well, except on the bed.” Very good.

That was good.

One sentence rendered the crying individual unable to cry..
