Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets-Chapter 1191: One Letter a Day (Eighteenth Update)
"Everyone says he’s smart and outstanding, but in my opinion, he’s just a big fool, a big idiot, a big dolt." Yuan Yu said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, he’s a big fool, a big idiot, a big dolt."
Xu Qinglang echoed Yuan Yu’s words.
Yuan Yu puffed up her cheeks and glared at Xu Qinglang. She could criticize Tang Jun herself, but when Xu Qinglang did, it didn’t sit well with her. She said, "Have you ever seen a college entrance exam top scorer who’s a fool?"
Xu Qinglang: "..."
How could someone who topped the college entrance exam and earned the title of top scorer possibly be a fool?
If that’s considered foolish, then what about everyone who can’t compare to the top scorer?
Xu Qinglang’s mouth twitched, and he said, "Yuan Yu, I’m just trying to support you."
"Thank you for driving me back. I’ll treat you to a meal another day." Yuan Yu said as she opened the car door and got out. She wanted to return to the company and get a good night’s sleep, and everything would be fine after that.
"Yuan Yu."
Xu Qinglang quickly followed her out, blocking her path. The sky had completely darkened, and they were now at the hospital entrance, with many people coming and going, including doctors, nurses, and patients.
"Yuan Yu, I like you. If you’re willing, I’m willing to be with you for a lifetime. I promise, I won’t bully you or make you sad." Xu Qinglang, tall and imposing, stood in front of Yuan Yu.
His presence always gave Yuan Yu a warm feeling, like a big brother next door.
She could vaguely sense Xu Qinglang’s feelings, so in her interactions with him, Yuan Yu tried to make her own intentions clear.
"Xu Qinglang, thank you for liking me, but I can only appreciate it." Yuan Yu directly rejected Xu Qinglang.
For Xu Qinglang, if she didn’t like him, she had to reject him decisively.
"It seems I still haven’t done well enough; I need to keep trying." Xu Qinglang’s heart sank, but he maintained a faint smile. Even knowing the outcome, he still wanted to try.
"Xu Qinglang, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Why insist on me? You can look around, and maybe you’ll find more options." Yuan Yu earnestly advised.
Xu Qinglang looked at her deeply and said, "I also want to ask you, why must it be Tang Jun?"
Yuan Yu closed her mouth. If she wasn’t certain that Tang Jun had feelings for her, she wouldn’t be able to hold on. But even if she told Xu Qinglang this, he wouldn’t believe it.
"Xu Qinglang, I don’t want to waste your time." Yuan Yu said seriously, fixing her gaze on Xu Qinglang as if trying to tell him through her eyes that even if he waited, there would be no chance.
"Yuan Yu, I can’t persuade you, and you don’t need to persuade me either. But rest assured, I won’t force you." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Xu Qinglang smiled gently and said, "Go on inside, or your colleagues will come over."
"Okay, take care on your way home, and call me when you arrive safely." Yuan Yu instructed before walking into the hospital.
"Alright, goodbye."
Xu Qinglang watched Yuan Yu’s departing figure until she entered the company, then finally got into his car and left.

Changshui Village.
Tang Yue and Tang Jun decided to leave, so they informed Grandpa Miao.
"It’s time to go back. Staying here is of no use." Grandpa Miao sighed and said, "With the blood clot in your brain, we are powerless for now, but I believe one day it will dissipate."
"Yes, Tang Jun, don’t lose heart. Remember, a positive and optimistic attitude is very important for your recovery."
Grandpa Xu encouraged Tang Jun with a hopeful look.
Recently, Grandpa Xu had been living in the village, his mood improving, and even his health had gotten much better.
"Grandpa Miao, Grandpa Xu, don’t worry. I won’t let this eye issue keep me sad and depressed." Tang Jun replied. Even without sight, he wanted to prove he wasn’t useless.
"Yes, that’s the spirit." Grandpa Miao agreed.
"Sister Tang, are you leaving?" Yiyi, the little girl, looked reluctantly at Tang Yue. Her timid words, her red eyes, evoked a deep sense of pity.
"Little girl."
Tang Yue reached out and pulled the little girl next to her. She scooted over, making room on the bench for them both, and because they were both small, it worked well. She said, "Little girl, don’t worry. We’ll definitely come back when we have time. When the house is built and the books arrive, you’ll be able to sit in the classroom and study."
"Study hard, and when you get into a school in Jing City, come find Sister Tang, okay?" Tang Yue smiled at her. The little girl’s youthful features were yet to blossom, but she was bound to grow into a beauty.
"Sure, I’ll come find Sister Tang." The girl said expectantly, "Sister Tang, do you think I can get into a university in Jing City?"
The girl was a bit worried. She was already twelve years old, and just beginning school now. Could she still make it to college?
"Of course you can."
Tang Yue assured her, "As long as you work hard, you can definitely get in. If you don’t understand something, just ask Teacher Gu. He’s very skilled."
"Okay." The girl nodded confidently, saying, "Teacher Gu tells really great stories."
"Teacher Gu isn’t just good at storytelling." Tang Yue thought about how Gu Hang, back in high school, was always at the top of the class. Over the years, even though he’s been teaching in remote areas, he’s never stopped learning. He’s earned his college diploma and published several papers for his graduate studies.
In reality, Gu Hang is no less accomplished than many graduate students.
The children taught by Gu Hang are sure to gain twice the knowledge with half the effort.
The next morning, Tang Yue and Tang Jun prepared to leave, accompanied by Ding Ling and two other protectors. With such a group, their safety was assured, and they wouldn’t have to walk far. The road construction had begun, so halfway through, they could even hitch a ride on an engineering truck.
"Tang Yue."
Gu Hang knew Tang Yue was leaving today and had prepared letters for her early. There were three in total, representing letters he had written daily from the first day they arrived until that morning.
"Are you planning to write a letter every day?" Tang Yue joked as she took the letters, saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure they reach Sun Rou safe and sound."
"Thank you." Gu Hang’s face showed a faint blush, but his eyes were bright.
"I should be the one thanking you, for the children’s sake. Thank you for being willing to stay here." Tang Yue expressed her gratitude, genuinely admiring Gu Hang. If he wanted to teach in a big city, with his skills, not only could he teach middle school, but also high school without any problem.
