The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1682 - 1769: Protective Like a Mother Hen

She seems like... a mother hen protecting her chicks? Does that mean she looks old?

But the main issue isn’t that.

Yun Ge’s eyes flickered. She asked somewhat sheepishly and uncertainly, "Am I really... protecting him? Do I really... care about him, value him?"

Dong Huiying was at a loss for words once again.

Today, she found herself speechless because of Yun Ge more times than in the entire past month.

"That’s a really good question, but you shouldn’t be asking me; you should ask yourself, ask your own heart. Don’t you like him?"

She had seen it coming; there was definitely something between Yun Ge and Fengsu. Firstly, Yun Ge never put up defenses around her, and secondly, because Yun Ge was a person with a stark distinction between good and evil, extremely simple and pure. When she truly cared about someone, it was something she couldn’t hide.

Yun Ge gently pursed her lips, her eyes tinged with a trace of confusion and perhaps a bit of pain.

Suddenly, she covered her face with a long sigh, "I know I’m attracted to him, and I know I care about him, but this..." She smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly again, "But this is still not enough..."

Dong Huiying was stunned, "I don’t understand what you mean, what’s not enough? What are you worried about?"

Yun Ge shook her head but didn’t answer. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Dong Huiying gazed at her for a while, then patted her shoulder and consoled her, "I can analyze it for you. I don’t know if I’m right, but just listen."

After saying this, Dong Huiying contemplated and chose her words carefully, then said, "You have feelings for Fengsu, and you know you like him, but the sentiment is too shallow, not deep enough, so you think it’s insufficient?"

Yun Ge’s lips moved. Seeing her reaction, Dong Huiying already knew she was right, she guessed it.

"But I must tell you, no one is inherently devoted to someone else. Emotions are cultivated gradually through daily interactions. Just like with Zhi Chen and the others. At first, they despised me; in their eyes, I was nearly unforgivable, of course, that’s also because I made many mistakes back then. However, once I changed my ways, they saw me differently, and I gradually earned their forgiveness. In this process, perhaps there was mutual admiration, or maybe, as they got to know me more deeply and I got to know them better, emotions started from there and gradually became profound."

"Yet, you can also imagine, if I refused to approach them initially, if they refused to let me in, we wouldn’t be in this state today. Because everything is always like this: if you don’t choose to start, there won’t be a future, there won’t be a progression. But once you take that step forward, you might discover a new world, a new horizon. You will never know what you’ll find ahead unless you take that step. And most importantly, you must learn to accept."

Dong Huiying’s words were more her own insights and reflections rather than comforting Yun Ge.

After hearing this, Yun Ge fell into deep contemplation.

After a long time... "Perhaps you’re right. But I’m still scared, still fearful."

Dong Huiying cast a puzzled look at her.

A trace of bitterness lingered on Yun Ge’s lips...
