The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1729 - 1816: Like Taking Her Life

So regarding this point, deep down she has always felt a deep-seated guilt.

Shu Yu smiled softly; she usually maintained a clear and cold demeanor, but with this smile, although her eyes remained serene, her voice grew increasingly gentle, filled with a warmth that seemed capable of melting someone. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Do you know what your greatest flaw is?"

Dong Huiying looked at her puzzled, shaking her head.

Shu Yu answered her own question, "Your greatest flaw is that you think too much. You tend to dwell on things that seem trivial to us. And every time you get caught up in these things, I always get the feeling... as if you don’t quite fit in this world."

"You are trying very hard to integrate here, you have tried to accept us, to accept this world. But for you, it might still be too strenuous."

Dong Huiying was speechless, presumably never expecting Shu Yu to say something like this. But it seemed Shu Yu was right?

Shu Yu let out a long sigh, "Like you, I feel grateful for our meeting, grateful for our current companionship, but I think the reasons for our gratitude and joy might not be the same."

"Because what I am grateful for is this country, this system, the polygamy that you once resisted and rejected. Otherwise... if, hypothetically, in a different setting, it was you and us six brothers, but if it were under the circumstances of Dajin, without legal constraints, would you still choose us? Perhaps you would. But if it were under Dajin’s system, you would only choose one of us six."

"For instance, Yixuan, Shujun, or our eldest brother... but no matter who you choose, if you choose one, the remaining five are bound to be hurt. And I... I’m the one who acted the latest and felt the slowest, in this regard, I’m quite disadvantaged. And if faced with such a situation, I suppose... I wouldn’t have any chance to win your heart."

Shu Yu pulled a handful of grass from the ground, mimicking Dong Huiying’s stance, gazing at the starry night sky.

Sometimes, even with someone close enough to touch, he still feels very distant.

This feeling is inexplicable and vague, but he knows very well that the sense of distance often incites fear.

Because that feeling is quite unpleasant to him.

Sometimes he wishes to hold onto her tightly, but this so-called ’holding on’ is not simply holding her hand... how can he manage to not only have her by his side physically, but have her heart settled for him as well?

How can he...

Suddenly, Dong Huiying felt a bit panicked; in that moment, she didn’t know why, but out of the blue, her mind flashed back to that rainy night. She thought of the mysterious old nun she encountered.

The nun had once told her fortune, saying she faced three calamities in her life.

Heaven, earth, and human calamities.

The heavenly calamity was the air disaster during her traversal, the earthly calamity was the recent resurgence, but what is this third human calamity?

It comes because of a person, but who exactly is this person?

In her heart, she felt panic, felt fear. Don’t be fooled by how carefree she seemed when she chose to leave due to the resurgence phenomenon, because now, if someone were to take her away from these six brothers, it would be akin to taking her life.
