Chapter 1256: Chapter 1275: Courage

Huo Beijiang pursed his tender lips, generously admitting, "Yeah! I do like him, and there’s nothing I can do about it. He used to hardly ever show himself, and it wasn’t easy to get a glimpse of him. Now it’s much better, I can even sneak a peek."

He said this with a bashful smile, the young maiden’s love pure and intoxicating like a rich, sweet wine, a single glance could make one fall for it.

Nan Fei thought of Huo Beijiang and couldn’t help but smile as well.

"My uncle knows, but he doesn’t allow it," mentioned Fu Xinwu, stamping her foot in frustration and huffing, "He shamelessly clings to Auntie Nan Fei, yet he won’t let me pursue my happiness. Auntie Nan Fei, don’t you think Uncle is too domineering and unreasonable?"

In reality, Nan Fei could understand Huo Beijiang, but understanding was one thing, and feelings were another.

"I know the whole world is against it, no one will support me, and no one will bless me. They will only try to stop me, only criticize me, even the idea of it is impossible."

"Why?" Nan Fei wanted to tell her she was willing to support her.

"For Uncle, my liking Wei Qin is doomed to be fruitless. Uncle says his opposition isn’t because he looks down on people or because Wei Qin is dying, but because Wei Qin might seem gentle and easy to speak to, but in reality, he’s colder than anyone. My efforts will yield no results, nor will they be reciprocated."

Nan Fei was speechless; these were the kind of things only Bei Jiang could say.

Fu Xinwu rubbed her nose, which she pinched until it turned red, and said in a hoarse voice, "Wei Qin doesn’t have long to live, love stirs emotions, brings worries, and only hastens his death..."

Nan Fei was taken aback, finally understanding why Fu Xinwu, such a brave and generous girl, could keep silent, secretly watching from the sidelines without the courage to even tell Wei Qin.

It wasn’t from fear or lack of bravery but from fear of causing him distress.

Nan Fei tightly grasped Fu Xinwu’s hand.

Fu Xinwu’s mood had greatly lowered, her thick lashes damp with glistening tears, just hanging there, refracting the warm afternoon sunlight into a dazzling array of colors.

Nan Fei’s skin, fairer than snow, glowed enchantingly in the sunlight, and those eyes looking at Fu Xinwu were clear and bright, like a serene autumn pool, seemingly expressing a myriad of unsaid words.

"Auntie Nan Fei, you’re so beautiful, no wonder you’ve got Uncle head over heels," blurted out Fu Xinwu.

"Xin Wu is also very beautiful, and you’re bound to find happiness of your own." She genuinely liked Fu Xinwu. Though born into a prominent family, she was without the airs of a young mistress, neither arrogant nor capricious, playful but not overly indulgent.

What was even more remarkable was that she was the best medical student the school had ever had, and even before officially graduating, many hospitals had already expressed interest in her. Nan Fei didn’t know about this until a few days ago when she heard it from others while attending the last check-up.

"Hahaha..." Fu Xinwu laughed happily, a bit of a silly laugh, "We’re both very beautiful, and we’ll be the school’s number one and number two beauties." Having said that, she pointed at herself first, then at Nan Fei.

"I’ll let you have the first spot, I’ll be satisfied with the second. That way, I avoid being ’the bird that sticks its neck out,’" she laughed.

"Shh! Stop laughing." Nan Fei turned her head, hearing the chaotic footsteps and voices from the yard, along with intermittent shrieks.
