Chapter 1776: Chapter 1166: The Revelation of Life

Before dawn.

"Shh..." Seeing Chuxia enter, Zuo Hai, who was sitting by the bed, got up and gestured for her to be quiet, carefully rising and indicating to Chuxia to talk outside.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean anything else, just wanted her to rest more. When the anesthesia wears off, it’s so painful, she barely slept all night. She’s only been asleep for about an hour now."

"It’s okay, I just came to see how she’s doing, that’s all..." Chuxia smiled at Zuo Hai, "Big Brother Zuo didn’t sleep all night either?"

"I’m not tired." Zuo Hai shook his head, "I’ve been busy over there these days. The leaders know about my relationship with Meiru and granted me a day’s leave. I’m going on the night shift tomorrow."

In other words, he intends to stay here and care for Ye Meiru? Encountering such a devoted and persistent man seems to be Ye Meiru’s blessing.

Not knowing what to say to him, Chuxia simply took her leave: "Then I won’t disturb you. If you need anything, just ask for it outside, Big Brother Zuo."

"I will..." Slightly hesitating, Zuo Hai asked her to wait, "Please hold on."

Chuxia turned back to look at Zuo Hai quietly, without saying a word.

"She... is really different from before..." Zuo Hai blushed, "She said she wants to be with me for life. I can tell, she’s not joking. She truly must have me in her heart now."

"Congratulations, Big Brother Zuo’s wish came true." Chuxia smiled at him, "Rest assured, Big Brother Zuo, I won’t make things difficult for her. This time, her risking herself to bring the news means the past grudges are bygones.

As long as she doesn’t trouble me in the future, I naturally won’t trouble her either. Whether she’s truly settled or how she feels in her heart, I trust time will be the best proof.

It’s not that I don’t trust Big Brother Zuo, it’s just that many things aren’t as they seem to the eyes or as they sound to the ears. I want to rely on my heart to feel."

"Alright, hearing you say that puts me at ease." Zuo Hai looked at Chuxia appreciatively, "Considering she once did so much to hurt you, it’s really admirable how easily you let it go.

I also promise you that I will watch her closely. If she exhibits any harmful intent, I would rather face destruction with her than let her harm you.

Of course, that’s the worst-case scenario. I believe that’s essentially impossible. I trust my feelings, my judgment, and believe one day you will agree with me."

"I hope so too..." Chuxia waved to Zuo Hai, "Go back inside, Big Brother Zuo, I’ll bring you breakfast later."

"Thank you." Turning back, Zuo Hai returned inside to find Ye Meiru quietly watching him. He hurried forward, "Did I wake you up?" Frustrated, he patted his head, "It’s all my fault, too careless, should’ve been quieter, oh..."

"Don’t blame yourself, I just haven’t been able to sleep well. When Lin Chuxia came in, I heard it. Not knowing how to face her, I decided to follow your lead and pretended to be asleep."

"Still feeling uncomfortable?" Zuo Hai looked at her with concern, "You’ve been nonstop these days; your body can’t take it. You’ve got no idea how to take care of yourself!"

"I’m afraid of being too late."

"Too late for what?" Zuo Hai asked, puzzled, "What can’t be delayed?"

"Too late for others to forgive me..." With a long sigh, Ye Meiru seriously looked at Zuo Hai, "Perhaps fundamentally, I’m not someone completely bad.

In the past, I truly believed my actions were right, genuinely felt my happiness was stolen by Lin Chuxia, always wanting to target her, wishing she’d die right in front of me.

Even after enduring so much hardship and refinement at the base, I never thought I was wrong. I even thought that when given the chance, I’d definitely impose everything I suffered onto Lin Chuxia.

But, when I arrived here and saw how people lived their lives, watched how Zhou Mikang led by example..."

After a long pause, she said, "I don’t know since when, but I really stopped hating her, and finally started to patiently reflect on past things, willing to admit that some of my actions were indeed extreme.

Zhou Mikang and I are actually two completely mismatched individuals. Our personalities are very different. Even if he truly accepted me, we’d struggle to get along seamlessly.

When I couldn’t have him, I could humble myself, but if we were together, I certainly couldn’t manage. Now looking back, the things I’ve done really seem utterly meaningless.

For someone who doesn’t truly like me, I’ve done so many things to avenge others, but ultimately exacted revenge on myself. If I still don’t understand, my life would have been lived in vain.

I’m fortunate to have met you at the right time, and very grateful that you never gave up on me. After hearing what you said, it genuinely made me feel like the happiest person in the world.

But Zuo Hai, you must understand, regardless of when, if you marry me, you will become the object of ridicule and possibly cause your family to never accept you..."

Zuo Hai interrupted her: "I don’t care if my family accepts it or not. You’re the one I like, and I want to be by your side forever. As long as you don’t mind me, I’ll never leave you."

"Okay." Ye Meiru looked at him resolutely, "Once I’m better, let’s get married."

"I’ll listen to you."

"Hmph..." Ye Meiru frowned in dissatisfaction, "I’m a woman and I’ve proposed. You’re saying it so insincerely. How can you not express a stance on this matter?"

"Listening to you means supporting whatever you decide, showing that you’re the most important to me. What more stance do I need to express?"

"You’re quite eloquent." Ye Meiru smiled at him, "Are you sure you won’t regret it?"

"I’d only regret it if I missed this opportunity."

Ye Meiru looked at him somewhat perplexed: "Zuo Hai, I really don’t understand, what made you like me? I have a bad temper, bad character, looks are just okay, family background is alright but I’ve been expelled from home, what about me is worth your persistence?"

"That’s fate. From the first glance, I decided to pursue you, to marry you, to be with you for life. No matter how you are, my decision doesn’t change."

"No wonder people say you’re crazy." Ye Meiru shook her head, "Even I thought I was too trashy at that time, and you knew I was using you, still you cooperated so joyfully."

"Yes, even I don’t understand, but my heart led me to do it."

"Have you seen Ou Jie recently?"

"Yes." Zuo Hai nodded, "She’s Division Commander Zhou’s assistant. If you want not to see her, that’s difficult, but the past is the past. Her feelings for me were not that deep-rooted; letting go wasn’t hard."

"Apologize to her at a suitable time, explain properly, never mind..." Ye Meiru waved her hand, "I’ll wait until I have time to explain to her myself."

"She doesn’t mind anymore." Zuo Hai looked at her seriously, "After you got hurt, she came to see you, advised me to take good care of you. If not for her agreement, who else would dare give me a day off now?"

"Speaking of, heavens have not been harsh on me either. Although I’ve done too many wrongs in the past, when I wanted to make amends, everyone gave me a chance.

The most important..." Ye Meiru steadily looked at Zuo Hai, "The most important is that you’ve always been by my side. Zuo Hai, thank you, you’re my greatest benefactor in this lifetime."

"What to say now..." Zuo Hai looked uneasy, "How did I become a benefactor? You used to complain I was as annoying as a stubborn plaster."

"Before, it was because I was immature, but now I’ve figured out your goodness. Without your companionship, I wouldn’t have come to terms and wouldn’t have today, so you are my benefactor.

Zuo Hai, write a marriage application now. I don’t want to waste any more time. I’ve made up my mind, even if I only have a day left to live, I want to be with you and become your wife."

"We’re supposed to live until ninety together, that’s a promise that can’t change..." Zuo Jiang held her left hand that wasn’t hooked up to IVs, kissed it, "Marriage can’t be too sloppy; I’ll wait until we return to the rear, to give you a magnificent wedding, making you the happiest bride in the world!"

"Okay!" Ye Meiru nodded, "I’ll wait to be the most beautiful bride for you."

Outside the door, Chuxia quietly turned to leave. She hadn’t meant to eavesdrop; it’s just that after walking away for a few steps, she realized she’d forgotten to ask Zuo Hai what he liked to eat, so she turned back, unexpectedly overhearing their conversation.

Unconsciously, tears started to roll down her cheeks. She didn’t know why, but her heart just felt sour and sad, wanting to cry.

Once, she hated Ye Meiru to the bone, but now she realizes that forgiveness is the most beautiful thing.

If someone’s acting has reached such a level, even if she’s deceived again, she’d accept it. After all, one can’t refuse to eat for fear of choking, right?

...

Even living daily with longing, in the busyness, time flows like water, another month passed, countless battles big and small occurred, new members have adapted to such life, and when everyone sits together and chats, some even forget what their past life was like.

Only when writing letters or calling family, does one feel that the life they’re living now seems abnormal. (To be continued.
