After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 442 - 338: Second Update

"I will never change my heart." He stated solemnly, "I was very clear that at that time I decided that I only wanted to be with you for the rest of my life. If I knew you understood my feelings, I might not have gone abroad; I would’ve wanted to stay with you, or try every way to make you go abroad with me, but... it’s all just ’if’ now."

Shi Wangyue sighed deeply, "Actually, I’m not sure myself. If I knew you already realized I love you, what would I do? But, one thing I can be sure of is no matter where I am, I really want to become a better person for you."

"Silly." Ning Youguang said, "Didn’t I tell you, as long as it’s you, no matter who you are, you’re the best in my heart at any time, in any way. You are you, no need to try hard, no need to be better, just be you, and you’re the best! Remember that, got it?"

"Got it, darling." Shi Wangyue replied loudly.

Then, his head rubbed against Ning Youguang’s body, "Can I always be a little kid who keeps asking from you?"

A person can only be a precious little one in someone else’s heart when they’re cherished.

"Let’s give it a try. We’ll know if we try." Ning Youguang said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I don’t know either."

"Then maybe I shouldn’t." Shi Wangyue hugged her tighter, "I dare not take risks."

"Then let’s keep living like this." Ning Youguang chuckled lightly.

Shi Wangyue, however, couldn’t stay as calm as her.

"I can’t control my heart." He said softly and deeply, "Every time your gaze falls on me, I wish I could be a little bit better, even better, since I was very young..."

"Probably back in elementary school." Shi Wangyue thoughtfully recalled, "I wanted to catch up with you, hoping you’d be proud of me someday."

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but laugh to himself, "But it seems impossible. You’ll always be my pride, not vice versa."

He ironically remarked about himself, "I’m probably just such a lacking person. Since I didn’t get much love growing up, I’ve become someone who constantly seeks it externally, yet I have a small heart and difficult personality. I’m willing to love only you, excluding everyone else, so I’ll burden you a bit. Let me cling to you shamelessly and ask you to show some mercy to my latter half of life."

His eyes were moist as he looked at Ning Youguang, like a little puppy afraid of being abandoned by its owner, "Haven’t you liked saying ’I love you’ to me since I was young? Don’t push me away now, okay?"

[Is it wrong for a middle-aged woman pretending to be a kindergarten kid saying ’I love you’?]

[I put so much effort into trying to nurture a crooked tree into a fine young person beneficial to society, not a green tea b***h!]

[What the hell did I do to deserve this?!]

Ning Youguang was speechless at the sky.

...

After ranting and venting internally.

Ning Youguang couldn’t help but feel a bit comforted in her heart—

The child wasn’t so open with her, she knew, yet was willing to watch quietly and embrace him.

Because she knew, deep down, he still had many hidden wounds he couldn’t tell her about, could only rely on himself to come to terms with them, to heal them on his own.

But undeniably, his willfulness and stubbornness today did indeed surprise her.

Hmph!

Don’t think she didn’t see the coldness and gloom in his eyes when he said he wanted to go outside to throw out the trash.

Yet, merely during the time to go downstairs to toss trash, buy a coffee, and some roses, he could sort out his emotions, make the decision to honestly confront the issues between them, proactively approach her to communicate...

This precisely shows that, in an intimate relationship, he has not only learned to take initiative, learned to admit vulnerability, but also learned to clearly and thoroughly express his feelings.

He might not even realize it himself, but he’s gradually chipping away at the small frozen world inside his heart, revealing a softer, warmer interior.

He is removing his mask in front of her.

He is bravely rebuilding his inner world.

She felt both a bit happy and a bit touched.

All the changes in her heart were visible on her face.

Shi Wangyue, watching the subtle curve of her lips rising, gently asked, "What are you thinking about? So happy."

Ning Youguang quietly smiled for a while before saying, "Mr. Shi, may I make a request?"

"Go ahead." Shi Wangyue sat up straight.

Ning Youguang’s eyes gently shimmered, "Mr. Shi, I feel that, although we are good now, the future is long, and neither of us should be too confident."

Shi Wangyue immediately frowned, "I definitely won’t allow any possibility of issues arising between us."

"It’s good that you think that way, but I feel that as normal humans, we’re actually not that special; our love isn’t that great, so..." Ning Youguang paused briefly and continued, "In the future, when you feel there’s an issue between us, there is indeed an issue, please bring it up so we can face it and solve it together, okay?"

Shi Wangyue shut his mouth, not wanting to consider any negativity in their relationship.

But Ning Youguang insisted that they should look at their relationship more objectively.

"Although you don’t like hearing this, I have to say, if there is indeed any discontent or issues in the future between us, please make sure to bring it up early like today, so we can resolve it together, okay? I don’t think this is a pessimistic view; in fact, it’s meant to help us go further."

"Okay." Shi Wangyue nodded seriously.

...

The two of them confessed openly and communicated smoothly.

Shi Wangyue realized something when leading Ning Youguang downstairs to return to the University of Science and Technology—

They hadn’t yet communicated clearly about the most crucial matter.

"Ding..."

The elevator doors opened, and he suddenly stopped. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Why did you stop moving?" Ning Youguang asked puzzled.

"You haven’t told me whether you want to move in with me." Shi Wangyue said sadly, "I can’t not support you in pursuing your dreams, nor can I bear to be apart from you."

"Tell me, what should I do?" He looked up pitifully at the snow-white ceiling, wailing, "Is there any deity who could grant me strength to become a paper person who can fit into Teacher Ning’s pocket and never make a sound?"

"..." Ning Youguang. 1314
