592: Chapter 589 Because I Love You_2 592: Chapter 589 Because I Love You_2 “You must be busy, now that you’re the savior of traditional Chinese medicine, a national hero and idol, and the acknowledged Divine Doctor.
Honestly, I’ve always known that our company couldn’t contain a dragon like you.
I’m really happy and proud of you for your achievements.
Go see Shanshan and the others; I’m still busy here, so I won’t keep you any longer,” Fang Min said.
She really didn’t know how to face Tangyu anymore, so she had no choice but to show him out.
Seeing Tangyu only made her feel more conflicted.
“No rush, I can go see them later.
Sister Min, I’ll keep you company for a while longer; work can wait,” Tangyu said.
Something stirred in Fang Min’s heart as she looked at Tangyu, not sure why he would say that.
What did he want to talk to her about?
She couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild.
“Alright then, go ahead,” Fang Min said.
“Sister Min, what kind of person do you think I am?” Tangyu asked.
What kind of person?
Fang Min was startled for a moment, then said, “You’re asking a really broad question that I can’t readily answer.
But if you insist on knowing my thoughts, I can only say you’re someone whom any woman would fall in love with.
You might not be a hundred percent ‘good man,’ but you have a charisma that a hundred percent ‘good men’ don’t possess.
Anyone who interacts with you is impressed by your charm.
You are like endless miracles, always surprising and astonishing people, even bringing them miracles.
You emanate such a sense of security that everyone by your side feels they’re in the safest place in the world, because you would do anything to protect the ones near you.
You are an enigma, always having something about you that is unreadable.
You’re also a nonconformist, often doing things others can’t comprehend.
Honestly, I can’t quite gauge you.
To me, your most lasting impression is kindness, willingness to help others, and a sense of justice.”
Tangyu pursed his lips and said, “Sister Min, your evaluation of me is so high; I never expected to score that well in your eyes.
I feel like it’s a bit too flattering, and I’m quite embarrassed.
I’ve always been rather self-loving but never thought I was that good.
Nor do I consider myself a good man, let alone a perfect one.
Giving myself fifty points would already be more than enough.
Really, I’m not lying.”
Fang Min frowned slightly and said, “Why would you say that about yourself?”
“Heh, because I know best what kind of person I am.
I have no grand dreams or ambitions, and certainly no lofty aspirations.
Just plain and ordinary.
To use a popular phrase from the internet, I’m just an insignificant loser.
Nor am I that kind-hearted, and I’m definitely not a bodhisattva, capable of saving all beings.
Honestly, I’m not that noble.
Although my medical skills are passable, I don’t actually enjoy treating people.
I don’t like money, fame, or profit.
If you ask about my only preference, probably it’s coveting the ancient emperors who had three palaces, six courtyards, and three thousand beauties in their harems.
Put simply, I’m lustful, debauched, and sentimental.
The only thing I can proudly claim is that I’m not fickle, and I would never be a Chen Shimei who gets tired of old loves for new.
If I must say, I guess I’m just a selfish person who’s never satisfied,” Tangyu said with a self-mocking laugh, candidly and straightforwardly.
For Tangyu, this was the first time he was so openly sharing his feelings with someone else, the things he had suppressed in his heart but never dared to speak out.
Today he finally had the chance to express them.
After revealing his thoughts, he felt much lighter inside; at least now he could face Sister Min with a clear conscience in the future.
No matter what choice Sister Min would make, Tangyu wouldn’t press her.
Love was never something to be forced.
After hearing Tangyu’s words, Fang Min was stunned, her eyes flickering with complicated emotions, unable to speak.
She hadn’t expected Tangyu to say such things to her, and it left her feeling even more disordered.
“What are you trying to say?
What do you mean by this?” Fang Min said.
Looking at Fang Min, Tangyu said, “Sister Min, remember when I volunteered to pretend to be your boyfriend?
Perhaps you thought I was being kind and wanted to help you.
But actually, I liked you back then.
If I hadn’t liked the person, I would never have pretended to be her boyfriend, and you know my character well enough to know I’m telling the truth.
Every time I went home with you, I wasn’t acting; I truly treated you as my girlfriend in my heart.”
“Snap!”
The pen fell from Fang Min’s hand, and her whole body shook as she looked at Tangyu with indescribable joy sparkling in her eyes.
Yet this joy made her shake her head.
What good is liking someone anyway?
Tangyu continued, “I like you, Sister Min, but I also like Shanshan, Xiaoqing, Qingyu, and even Momo, as well as Huangfu Qingyun.
Maybe, there will even be more in the future.”
Fang Min wanted to laugh and to cry; her heart was like a bottle of mixed flavors that had been knocked over, filled with an indescribable mix of emotions.
“What’s the point of saying all this, you already have a girlfriend.
Miss Lin is a good girl, and she’s a good match for you.
You love Miss Lin, and I’m sure you two will have a happy and satisfying family and lead a cheerful life together.
I wish you both well.
It’s just my misfortune, I guess this is what they call destined but not fated.
Whether you’re saying this to comfort me or not, hearing you say you like me makes me content; it’s enough,” said Fang Min, her eyes red, holding back tears from falling.
As a thirty-year-old woman, her youth was no longer present.
Her first love at thirty was so painful, so bitter, even more than a cup of unsweetened coffee.
She didn’t object, but there wasn’t anything more to hope for either; other than letting go, she could do nothing.
This love, her first love, was doomed to last forever.
No matter how much her heart hurt, she had to endure it.
Her nose felt sour, her eyes swollen; she wanted to cry but could not shed a single tear, as if her throat were blocked by them.
“Sister Min, I’ve also been questioning myself, whether love really is unique, exclusive, and not meant to be shared.
If you can’t be with the one you love, then what’s the point of love?
I admit that I’m selfish, that I’m fickle, but my love for all of you is true, and it is equal.
I know that society won’t accept this, but I’ve never been a man of convention, I’ve never been bound by the norms.
If you’re willing, Sister Min, I would like to be with you forever, living a life detached from the mundane world, nameless and unrecognized by society.
I can’t stay in Donglin City much longer; I’m here on a mission, and once it’s completed, I’ll leave Donglin City to seek a paradisiacal land.
If you’re willing, I’ll take you with me.
Of course, Sister Min, I won’t force you, I will respect you, and I will remember you forever,” said Tangyu.
Fang Min finally couldn’t hold back her sobs; teardrops fell, and she desperately shook her head, holding it in her hands: “I don’t know, I really don’t know, please stop talking.
You’ve done so much for me, but why?”
“Because I love you,” said Tangyu.
Fang Min trembled, stood up crying, walked up to Tangyu, and suddenly threw herself into his arms: “I love you too.”
Tangyu held Fang Min tightly, and in that moment, their hearts melded into one.
A pang of sadness also hit Tangyu’s nose.
If it hadn’t been for the incident at the masquerade bar last night, Tangyu wouldn’t have been so urgent to confess his feelings to Sister Min, and would have waited until the Yin Medical Sect’s issue was resolved.
But now, Tangyu realized he could wait no longer, otherwise Sister Min would undoubtedly suffer more, and he couldn’t bear to see her sad.
So today, he also revealed his feelings, which would allow Sister Min to seriously consider whether she could deal with a nameless relationship.
“Although I love you, I’m also very confused right now.
I can’t promise you anything, and I don’t know if I can do it.
Give me some time to think about it,” said Fang Min.
Tangyu, holding Fang Min tightly, replied, “Sister Min, I’ve told you, I won’t force you, and I dare not hope for anything.
I will simply wait for you in silence.”
Fang Min looked up at Tangyu, her eyes slowly closing.
Tangyu also closed his eyes, and his lips slowly approached Fang Min’s.
They touched, melting and sublimating the two of them, merging in an intimate unity like the harmonious blending of Yin and Yang.
