Chapter 625: Chapter 634: So You Just Want to Be a Fool

People can never forever walk the ideal path they’ve set for themselves.

I wanted to become a millionaire, I wanted to pursue dreams, I wanted this and that.

Desiring too much, but what you can really get is actually very, very little; at such times, you can only make yourself want less in order to be happier.

In fact, happiness is quite simple: good food, a good song, or reading a book.

It’s always possible to calm yourself down.

"Brother Han Feng, I used to think that if I earned a lot of money, I would have endless lollipops and wouldn’t need to ask others for anything.

Now that I have money, I find myself wanting other things.

We want too much, but not everything can be obtained. Being able to have just one thing can make one very happy."

Bai Zhi’s gaze shone with stars; she was actually very content at that moment.

Grandpa was still here, auntie was living well. And now she had friends, which used to be unattainable for her.

She should be contented now, yet there were new challenges ahead.

She wanted to make herself stronger, to protect the Bai Family.

It was the ancestors of the Bai Family who gave her a new opportunity, as did the dragon veins. Therefore, she would give her all to protect it...

In the following days, as long as she got the prescription sorted out and handed it over to her cousin, she would follow the Ancestor back into the forest. She wanted to become stronger.

"But what I want most isn’t those things—I could be without money, I could be without a job, but I am unwilling to leave here.

Going to Imperial City would just mean living at someone else’s mercy, watching their faces. Here, even if it’s plain and simple, I am happy."

At the very least, I would be able to see you.

Han Feng’s gaze lingered on Bai Zhi’s face.

Xingxing, after being away for three years, you’ve already become so distant from me. If we were to part for a few more years... would we become even more distant?

"Why must we always live as others wish us to be? My mother only knows to hope that I go to Imperial City, but she doesn’t think about what I would go through."

That woman’s heart only held herself; she wouldn’t care when he was foolish, whether he was full or warm.

She wouldn’t even care if his clothes were warm enough. If it weren’t for Xingxing, those years would’ve been even harder for him.

"Brother Han Feng, but now you know what you want, right?

Let’s work hard first; in the end, we can always do what we want to do, right?"

Besides, since the decision to leave has been made, why bother with other thoughts? Rather than leaving sorrowfully, it’s better to accept it with openness.

"Xingxing, you’ve grown up."

What else could Han Feng say? He naturally knew every word Bai Zhi said was true, but none of it was what he truly wanted.

"Yes, I’ve grown up." Only, the price was somewhat high.

"Xingxing, I’m leaving. Will you forget me after I’m gone?"

Is this the time I’m truly going to lose you?

"How could that be? We will always be the best of friends. The time we spent striving together is a memory I will treasure for a lifetime."

It was the sole warmth in the dark days, the singular sweetness swathed in bitterness.

It surely wouldn’t be forgotten.

"Xingxing, I guess I won’t be able to roast sweet potatoes with you anymore. When I come back, perhaps you’ll have already grown up. By then I..."

Can I tell you that I like you?

"By that time, Brother Han Feng would have certainly achieved success in his career and have a happy family; perhaps you’ll even be a father by then."

Bai Zhi said this with a cheerful smile, leaving Han Feng unsure of what to say.

"That won’t happen. I won’t get married; someone like me, what right do I have to get married?"

Han Feng laughed, a bit awkwardly. Besides, he wouldn’t marry anyone else.

Actually, he was a bit selfish. He was seven years older than Xingxing; how could Xingxing possibly like him?

"Don’t think like that, Brother Han Feng. You will definitely meet the right person."

Han Feng didn’t speak because there were things he couldn’t say now, fearing that Xingxing wouldn’t like him if he did.

After all, the timing wasn’t right. He’d wait a bit longer, wait for Xingxing to grow up a bit more. Just a bit more...

"Brother Han Feng, what kind of job are you planning to do when you go back?"

Seeing Han Feng wasn’t talking, Bai Zhi simply spoke up, smiling at him cheerfully.

Han Feng was startled, not expecting Xingxing would ask this question. He smiled awkwardly.

"I don’t know, they say they want to arrange for me to study medicine. Xingxing, do you think someone like me, a fool, should study medicine?"

Study medicine...

Bai Zhi hadn’t expected this either. It wasn’t that she thought he couldn’t, just that it was a bit unexpected.

"Brother Han Feng, you’ve always worked hard, of course, you can do it."

"I hope so, but actually, I don’t like studying. I’ll have to take it step by step, only time will tell. At most three years, I’ll definitely come back, and no one will be able to stop me."

That’s what Han Feng told Bai Zhi, and it was also what he told himself.

In three years, he would definitely be able to make his own decisions, and no one would be able to stop him.

"Brother Han Feng, you’ll make it."

In her last life, when she met him again, he had already become a successful man.

"Xingxing, take good care of yourself. When I come back, as long as I’m here, no one will be able to hurt you."

At this moment, Han Feng, with narrowed eyes, was full of determination.

Bai Zhi’s lips curled into a broad smile...

She didn’t really know how to respond to that, because she didn’t want her future safety to be dependent on someone else.

Wasn’t her last life full of enough longing, to count on this life as well? It wasn’t necessary.

Isn’t it good to rely on oneself? If you earn money and want to eat something, then buy it.

If you want a home, then buy it.

If you want to do something, do it yourself.

Placing hopes on someone else was just too far away, too exhausting.

At night, walking under the moonlight, Han Feng and Bai Zhi returned together.

When they reached the doorstep, Han Feng looked at Bai Zhi and spoke with concern.

"Xingxing, has your injury gotten a lot better?"

Bai Zhi blinked in slight bewilderment, then smiled faintly.

"It’s been fine for a while now; it was just too much blood loss. My aunt has been nourishing me every day, I’ve even put on weight."

As Bai Zhi said this, she pinched her hand to show Han Feng.

"That’s good, Xingxing, I’m heading back now."

Han Feng nodded and turned to leave. Bai Zhi also turned away.

Her injury...

"Han Feng, you are indeed here."

Mrs. Han dashed over briskly, gripping Han Feng and looking at him with a mix of frustration and concern.

"Didn’t I tell you we’re treating everyone to dinner today? Where did you run off to? Can’t you show a bit of face for me? Do you think you’re still that foolish boy or do you actually want to remain a fool?"

As she spoke, she reached out and started tapping Han Feng’s head, just like she used to.

Bai Zhi frowned slightly; Mrs. Han was being a bit too harsh.

Just as she was about to speak up, Mrs. Han had already turned to Bai Zhi and began her tirade.

"Bai Zhi, I know you and my Ah Feng were good friends before, and it’s true that you both were kids then.

And Ah Feng was a childlike, but things are different now."
