Upon hearing a sound, Qiu Mingyan lifted his gaze. To be honest, at this moment, Qiu Mingyan really wanted to throw out a harsh line, "You’re awake? If you wake up, I’m leaving!"
But he couldn’t, nor did he dare to.
Having lived in Chen Family Village for so many years, he was no stranger to the disregard for human life here. In the city, if anyone dared to press him like this, he’d sneer and walk off after tossing such a line.
But here, the events of last night indeed frightened him.
He was still scared, and didn’t know if being ruthless again would really drive Mai Manxiang to death, or if she’d try to commit suicide a second time. So, he held it in and slowly said, "You’re awake? Ah Xiang, I want to talk to you, can we?"
But Mai Manxiang wasn’t foolish; one phrase about talking, along with Qiu Mingyan’s eyes still serious as they were a few years ago.
Made her realize something, tears streaming down: "No! I don’t want to talk about anything! Brother Mingyan! If you don’t want me to bite my tongue and die right now, then don’t talk to me about anything! I don’t want to hear it!"
In an instant, having just saved Mai Manxiang from a wrist slashing suicide attempt, and then hearing this declaration of biting her tongue... things were indeed heading in the direction he most didn’t want.
Qiu Mingyan really was pale-faced to the point of being speechless.
After pausing for a moment, he nodded and could only temporarily step out, letting others first come in to stabilize Mai Manxiang’s emotions.
However, all of this seemed futile, because as if sensing Qiu Mingyan’s feelings, his mere turn triggered Mai Manxiang’s already desperate emotions to rise even more painfully.
Thus, hardly a minute had passed inside when he heard Mai Manxiang’s extremely sorrowful cries: "Why save me? He won’t marry me, even when I’m on the brink of suicide, he still wants to talk and then leave me. He has already flown away with Feng Chengyue, their expression so sincere, there’s no room for me. Kneeling and begging him is useless, I’ve truly got nothing left, why not just let me die? Why save me?"
In an instant, everyone inside seemed to be at a loss for words.
Qiu Mingyan stood outside the door, listening to those words, reflecting on his own situation, and feeling utterly miserable.
No solution seemed available; Mai Manxiang’s emotions turn deadly when he’s not around, so ultimately, Qiu Mingyan decided to stay, to wait for Mai Manxiang’s emotions to stabilize.
Gathering his belongings, intending to leave today, all tickets were refunded.
While refunding the tickets, it was the same woman who sold the minibus tickets last time.
She was familiar with Qiu Mingyan and couldn’t help but say: "Doctor Qiu, last time you refunded one, this time five, refunding is fine, but why can’t you seem to leave? Has something happened in your family?"
The woman didn’t know who he was sending away last time, so naturally she assumed it to be a situation.
Qiu Mingyan was slightly stunned upon hearing this, his smile was as bitter as bitter herbs.
In the end, he could only smile and say, "Indeed there’s a bit of a situation, but it’s not major, I might buy tickets from you again after a while. Sorry for the trouble."
Qiu Mingyan’s politeness, and his genuine courtesy after receiving higher education, always made people feel comfortable.
Sighing, the woman said, "Actually, I’ve heard a bit about your village’s affairs, the arranged marriage, right? Alas, if you ask me, in this age, it’s only this backward village that still uses arranged marriage as a commitment. People in the county now understand it has no legal standing at all. Such outdated and backward marital forms should’ve been eliminated long ago; even if helping you with education back then doesn’t justify such demands. Too ignorant—isn’t raising livestock for one’s own family—is it necessary to bind so tightly?"
Upon finishing her indignant speech, she suddenly hesitated, feeling embarrassed at seeing Qiu Mingyan’s expression: "Ah, pfft, pfft, pfft, I made a wrong analogy, you’re the great talent here, not livestock."
The woman apologized repeatedly, and naturally Qiu Mingyan also awkwardly smiled, saying: "It’s alright, I understand what you mean, I won’t blame you."
"That’s good, that’s good. Still, you’re so reasonable. Alright, I’ll leave it at that. Your train ticket, I’ll also refund at the station for you, and return the money to you another day. You don’t need to worry about it."
