Chapter 472: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 472: Offering Oneself (1)
Mo Yan understood Li Xiu's words well. What she didn't say was her fear of unwittingly investing all her emotions, only to end up with nothing. If that happened, how would she face herself?
In her previous life, she dared not engage in love and had never experienced it firsthand, but she had witnessed others' love. Take her eldest brother, for example. He was such a mature and wise person, even saying that even if he encountered love, he wouldn't become someone unrecognizable like many others, falling into despair after losing it. However, when he met the girl he admired, he dove into it headfirst without looking back.
That relationship ultimately didn't end in marriage. From then on, her eldest brother rarely spoke of emotions. By the time she passed away, he was still single at the age of thirty-five. He couldn't forget that girl and wasn't willing to casually find someone else just to numb himself. Instead, he poured all his energy into work, expanding the company several times over in just a few years.
However, everyone in the family, including herself, knew that her eldest brother wasn't happy. They even hoped he would live recklessly like many young people, at least finding temporary happiness. However, her eldest brother remained as calm as a dried-up well, losing his vitality.
She understood her own temperament. Once she fell into the vortex of emotions, she might be even more unable to extricate herself than her eldest brother. Longing for something unattainable was very painful. Obtaining it and then losing it was even more despairing. Just thinking about it made her feel suffocated! She hesitated and didn't dare to accept that person's feelings, repeatedly warning herself not to fall into it. It was better not to start a relationship that would have no result.
However, in her fear of falling into a fruitless love, she had already unknowingly developed deep feelings for that person. The emotions she poured into it were even deeper than she had imagined. If it weren't for this unexpected turn of events, she didn't know when she would have faced her own feelings.
Seeing Mo Yan's changing expressions and the increasing heaviness between her eyebrows, Li Xiu, as someone who had been through it, quickly understood what she was concerned about. She couldn't help but sigh and say, "Yan, there's an old saying that goes, 'where there's a will, there's a way.' Whether it's emotions or something you want to achieve, you need to strive for it. Trying hard doesn't necessarily guarantee success, but not trying guarantees failure. How would you know what the outcome will be if you don't try? If you try your best and still fail, at least there will be no regrets. If you don't try, and let it slip away before your eyes, ask yourself, would you be content?"
Content?
Mo Yan stared at the northern sky in a daze, silently asking herself. Of course not! It's not easy for a person to encounter someone they like in their lifetime, and some people may never encounter such a person. She was fortunate to have met him, so how could she willingly let it go?
She couldn't bring herself to give up. If that was the case, why not, as Li Xiu said, actively strive for it? Even if the final result wasn't what she hoped for, at least there would be no regrets!
Thinking of this, Mo Yan's eyes suddenly brightened. She silently made a decision in her heart. If this time, he could return safely... No, she shook her head vigorously, dispelling the negative thoughts from her mind. Mao Mao had already delivered the Black Lingzhi, and Xiao Hua had also taken the Spirit Spring Water. He would definitely return safely, he must!
Li Xiu keenly felt her change and smiled with relief on her face. Matters of the heart required personal insight. Otherwise, no matter how much others said, it would be useless. Today, she comforted Mo Yan like this, not knowing whether it was good or bad. She didn't want Mo Yan to miss out on a good match like herself, leaving only regrets. Fortunately, Mo Yan had figured it out...
