Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1782 - 1783: Cowardice

Yes, in this situation, what could Ling Zhenfei say? Should he say, come with me, I'll take care of you, abandon your family's interests?

Ling Zhenfei couldn't bring himself to say such words, and he believed that Watanabe Nagayumi wouldn't act in that manner either.

That's how things are in this world; what seems simple or necessary to you is only because you haven't considered it from that person's perspective.

Other people's affairs are always simple; when they don't happen to you, they're always trivial.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I understand you. How many people in the world truly find their happiness? Even in ancient Huaxia, it was the same. Girls didn't even know what their husbands looked like before they married, even before the wedding night.

But even so, there were many stories of loving couples that have been passed down. All I can do is wish you happiness."

"Thank you!" Watanabe Nagayumi said softly, lowering her head.

The two felt slightly awkward; the awkward atmosphere was merely a reflection of the mutual unease in their hearts.

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "I heard rumors that you are close to the Hoshino sisters and that Hoshino Junka wants to leave with you—is that true?"

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback; logically, this shouldn't have been spread.

"How do you know?"

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Your expression suggests it's true. Never mind how I found out; actually, I really admire her for bravely pursuing her own happiness, unlike me who is so cowardly in this matter."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You are acting for your family; there's nothing wrong with that. Perhaps, in the eyes of others, you are doing the right thing."

Watanabe Nagayumi laughed and said, "What does it matter what others think is right; only one's heart knows whether there's regret.

I remember you once asked me if I wanted to leave with you, but the words I said seem to be similar to today. I seem to have always been this person who can't take a leap."

Ling Zhenfei said, "How do you know that leaving with me would be good? I'm currently in a mess over these Wine God matters."

Watanabe Nagayumi looked at Ling Zhenfei as if to etch him into her memory forever.

"Do you know what you are to me? You're hope, a hope to live, I can't leave my family or you.

Whenever I feel sad, I always think of you and everything about you, and I always feel that living is really good, truly happy."

Ling Zhenfei was at a loss as to what to say to Watanabe Nagayumi.

In some ways, Watanabe Nagayumi appears very decisive, but in other areas, she exhibits great cowardice—a person unsuccessful in life.

One doesn't know how to let Watanabe Nagayumi live, as it was just now that she decisively stood with Ling Zhenfei against Watanabe Goryu.

That was a very brave display.

Yet, she can't betray her family and run away with Ling Zhenfei.

It's actually very simple: able to achieve small things, unable to accomplish bigger ones.

Ling Zhenfei said, "As long as you can be happy in the future, that's all that matters."

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "You know, you're the first person I loved—the only one; since I was young, I read many books, always thinking about what the person I love would be like.

But I never imagined that the person I love would be a Huaxia man, and such a special existence at that." Ling Zhenfei knew that in small matters, Watanabe Nagayumi was very proactive, like now, actively confessing her feelings for Ling Zhenfei—that showed great initiative.

Even in Huaxia, neither Guoguo nor any other woman had ever said such words to Ling Zhenfei, yet now Watanabe Nagayumi, who appears so timid, said them.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I also like you a lot, although my liking may seem cheap; you probably think I like whoever I see."

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Men are like that, liking whoever they see, but I don't blame you. You're the kind of man that no woman can own solely.

Even if they own you, it's only temporary, but there's no way to own you forever."

It seems Watanabe Nagayumi has thoroughly seen through Ling Zhenfei, even analyzing his personality.

The two talked, pouring out their hearts.

This feeling was very peculiar; two people who love each other understand, yet when speaking, they bless each other.

Few can understand this feeling, yet it has indeed happened.

In reality, when it occurs, it's only a girl and her male confidant; knowing the confidant's feelings, knowing their own feelings.

So both are aware of each other's feelings but know they can't be together, so they act unaware and exchange blessings.

Suddenly, footsteps sound from afar; both Ling Zhenfei and Watanabe Nagayumi are startled, knowing whoever was meant to come all came.

"Someone's coming," Ling Zhenfei said.

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Hide first; leave the rest to me."

Ling Zhenfei said, "In this room, there's hardly any place to hide."

In Watanabe Nagayumi's room, indeed, there wasn't anywhere to hide.

Watanabe Nagayumi glanced around and said, "How about this: hide in my bed, and I'll cover you with a blanket, surely no one will see."

Ling Zhenfei suddenly recalled hiding in Suzuki Keiko's bed earlier in the night.

But now it seems there's no other way, as the footsteps were getting closer.

Ling Zhenfei had to hide in Watanabe Nagayumi's bed.

Watanabe Nagayumi carefully covered him with a blanket, ensuring Ling Zhenfei was well hidden. Just then, there was knocking on her room door.

She went to open the door, intentionally messing up her hair a bit before.

Opening the door, a few people stood in the doorway, with Watanabe Nagayumi at the front.

He was Watanabe Nagayumi's father. It was appropriate for him to be the one knocking late at night.

Behind him were members of the Watanabe Family, not very important ones.

After Watanabe Nagayumi opened the door, everyone was shocked as they didn't expect her to open so calmly, dressed in sleepwear.

Watanabe Nagayumi was also somewhat taken aback.

"What is this, Nagayumi?"

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Father, isn't it obvious? This late, naturally, I'm sleeping."

"But Goryu said you were just now with the person we're hunting." Watanabe Nagayumi spoke directly.

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Yes, I was just with Ling Zhenfei; you know we're acquainted."

Watanabe Nagayumi was deeply shocked, asking, "Are you saying the person we've been pursuing is Ling Zhenfei?"

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Yes, it's Ling Zhenfei; haven't you known?"
