Chapter 845: Chapter 847: Life So Complete

Even though it’s already the 21st century, Xiao Yifei still has very traditional views on dating and marriage. Xiao Yifei has grown up to be quite handsome, but he has only ever had two girlfriends, and they were both mutual attractions. However, despite this, they eventually broke up.

So Xiao Yifei doesn’t understand those men who change girlfriends every few days and never seem to have any downtime. He has always thought that feelings are especially precious, and emotions, too, are limited. A person only has so much to give in a lifetime, and once it’s used up, that’s it.

If you fall for different people every day, your passion and feelings will quickly be exhausted. After that, no matter how suitable a person you meet, you won’t have the extra energy to love them.

It’s not that Xiao Yifei thinks there is something wrong with other men’s views on relationships. After all, in the short decades of life, being happy is the most important thing.

Perhaps it’s because of studying Chinese Medicine, Xiao Yifei has a deep understanding of Chinese traditional culture. So, relatively speaking, he is a rather traditional person at heart. But it’s precisely because of this that people feel he has a scholarly air about him, giving off a gentle and refined aura.

After dinner that night, Shi Miaomiao left early. As a single girl, she was considerate enough to have this awareness. Then Xiao Yifei and Tang Rong walked home together. Actually, the way home wasn’t long, but they spent two whole hours walking.

Neither of them spoke first, fearing to ruin the beautiful atmosphere. Under the streetlights, their shadows lengthened, shrank, and lengthened again until finally, almost home, Xiao Yifei finally spoke.

He suddenly turned and stopped, facing Tang Rong, and began his heartfelt confession: "Rong’er, this afternoon’s confession was a bit rushed, let me do it again now. This is my first time confessing to a girl, I’m a bit nervous, please don’t laugh at me if I say something wrong."

"I don’t even know when I started liking you. I remember, at first, you were very fierce to me, forcing me to do chores every day, and hitting me whenever I disobeyed. But suddenly one day I realized that even when you scolded me, I felt particularly happy inside."

"In the days that followed, I found myself anticipating the sound of your voice in my ear. From then on, I knew I had fallen for you. The feeling of liking someone is incredibly wonderful. In that moment, I felt my life was complete again, and a part deep within me became particularly tender."

"That feeling is like what the little girl in ’Leon: The Professional’ says when she falls for Leon. It’s as if I feel warm inside my stomach. I used to think my stomach felt knotted, but now it doesn’t anymore."

"I never felt my life was so complete. I’ve always been a fairly easygoing person, not actively pursuing many things. But after falling for you, I felt I had to do something. I had to work hard to give you a peaceful and beautiful future, Rongrong. I’m not saying these words lightly. I’ve wanted to say them to you for a long time. So, will you give me this chance?" Xiao Yifei said earnestly, looking at Tang Rong.

Tang Rong listened, her eyes slightly reddening, and she nodded, saying to Xiao Yifei, "Fool, of course I will. I’ve liked you for a long time already. You didn’t see it, making me wait so long."

Xiao Yifei pulled Tang Rong into his embrace, wrapping her in his coat, and whispered in her ear, "I’ll give you all my love and care from now on."

The city night was cold, but in Xiao Yifei’s arms, Tang Rong felt so warm. It was as if the love missing from her life for over a decade was suddenly filled at this moment.

Tang Rong’s family appeared harmonious. Her father worked at a well-regarded local company and also ran a small business on the side. Her mother was a bank employee before retiring and now stayed at home. Tang Rong was relatively accomplished and quite beautiful.

To outsiders, they seemed like the model family, but as the saying goes, every family has its own struggles. Maintaining surface harmony, they weren’t at all close or loving with each other in private.

Her father started coming home less often when Tang Rong was about thirteen or fourteen years old, coming home twice a week at most. Initially, her mother would argue with him when Tang Rong wasn’t around, questioning if he had another woman outside. Her father always said, "That’s not true, I’ve just been busy lately, no time to come home."

They would argue in the living room until finally, her father, fed up with the questions, said, "I don’t have an affair. One morning, I just realized I didn’t love you anymore, and that scared me. How do you continue living together without love? How do you share a bed? I tried to find that feeling I once had for you, but I can’t find it anymore. I was scared, so I started avoiding it by not coming home."

Her father spoke those words in a pained voice, leaving her mother stunned. If her husband had an affair, it would have been easier to deal with. Not easy, but she knew what to do. She could confront the mistress or tell her relatives to scold her unfaithful husband.

But the reason why the man she had loved for nearly twenty years wasn’t coming home was simply because he didn’t love her anymore, and that left her panicked, unsure of what to do.

At that time, Tang Rong was somewhat aware of such matters, so she calmly walked into the living room and said to the two miserable people, "If you don’t love each other anymore, then just get a divorce. Don’t worry about me, I’m grown up."

Her composed statement surprised the two adults greatly, as those weren’t words expected of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, so calm and collected.

Tang Rong said this because many of her classmates’ parents were divorced. A little girl she was close to had her parents divorce when she was only seven, but it hadn’t affected her life at all. During the week, she stayed with her grandmother, and every weekend she took turns spending time with her parents in their new families.

Because the parents felt guilty, they gave her a lot of pocket money each month, and her grandmother doted on her dearly.

So, at the time, Tang Rong envied this little girl greatly. She had the freedom and money that Tang Rong didn’t have. From the first argument between her parents, she had been hoping they’d divorce. The girl’s lifestyle was highly appealing to her.

In the end, her parents did not divorce because their relationship breakdown was personal between them and had nothing to do with anyone else. They eventually made an agreement. Tang Rong’s father could come home only once a week but couldn’t have any relationships with other women. When hearing her mother’s demand, Tang Rong’s father said, "Having loved you, one woman in my life is enough. I have no desire to be involved with anyone else."
