The world is so wild, I want to go to Kang Kang

"Aren't you afraid they'll laugh at you?"

She knew that young people at that time, especially young men and women studying abroad, were most disgusted with arranged marriages.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. This is the fact." Zhou Yuan's voice at this moment was very calm. There was no intention of showing off, nor was there any unwillingness against one's will.

He was just telling her about the past.

"It was me who went to your house to pick you up. No one forced me. It was me who got married with you. No one replaced me. It was also me who entered the bridal chamber with you, even though nothing happened."

"But in the eyes of the world, you and I are husband and wife."

"Before I left, I told you that if you don't want to wait, you can leave at any time. I support any decision you make."

"But today I understand how difficult it is for women in this era to say goodbye."

He paused guiltily, and then added, "It was my stupidity and ignorance that wasted your youth. You never complained, so how can I be carefree?"

He thought that since she hadn't asked for a divorce in two years, she might really be willing to wait for him to finish his studies and return home. Therefore, he had always strictly restrained himself according to the standards of a husband.

Now, knowing that she didn't mean it, he was even more grateful for his misunderstanding. He made a girl lose two years of freedom and love, and no matter how he made up for it, it would be difficult to make her feel the same.

"Brother Yuan, it would have been great if you had said this at the beginning." It can be said that the original body's current situation was due to his leaving without saying goodbye.

Knowing that he was unwilling, she willingly listened to him on the first day and helped him make the bed on the floor.

Later, he left the country after saying something he thought made sense, leaving her alone to face the long night.

She went out to get drunk and was targeted by people from the puppet government. She became addicted to drugs and has since become a walking corpse.

"I'm sorry." Thousands of words were condensed into these three words. As soon as he came back and saw that she was different from that year, he realized that he had made a huge mistake.

"Brother Yuan, you don't know, I also made a lot of mistakes," Shi Yue straightened his voice, "I am walking back step by step."

"Are you smoking opium?" Zhou Yuan was neither blind nor stupid. Her sudden thinness made her look very similar to the drug addicts that are common nowadays.

"Yeah, but I've quit."

"Before you come back."

If he felt guilty and distressed for her just now, now he was shocked and regretful.

He didn't know what kind of torture she had to endure to give up something that most men could never give up in their entire lives, nor did he know what kind of mood she was in when she tried it for the first time.

What was going on? Zhou Yuan fell into great self-doubt. He had clearly traveled across oceans with a passion for the country's rise and went to other countries just to acquire the knowledge and technology to build a strong country.

But in the end, he hurt an innocent woman the most. He didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of him.

"You are really great. Few people can do what you do." He admired her courage and perseverance from the bottom of his heart.

Shi Yue was very excited. He was the first one to brag about himself. "I think so, too. That thing has ruined China a lot. I have to give it up and see how powerful it is."

At the same time, she also broke with the puppet government. No matter what the other Eight Banners descendants did, she would not recognize such a traitorous, self-deceiving and ridiculous regime.

"You really are like what you bannermen say, a Manchurian lady, aren't you, a heroine."

Zhou Yuan was generous with his praise.

"Thank you so much, hahahaha, you're praising me so much that I feel embarrassed."

"You deserve it."

Shi Yue was still very happy. It was rare to have a man who was innocent with her and also understood her weirdness hahahaha.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep. We have finally landed. Get a good night's sleep. We will talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay, good night, Gege."

"Good night, Brother Yuan."

The next day, after breakfast, they were driven out by Mrs. Zhou, under the pretext of letting them develop their relationship.

"Do you like opera?"

The two stood outside the door, not knowing where to go.

Shi Yue suddenly had an idea. There was a ready-made place, but he didn't know whether he liked it or not.

Zhou Yuan had heard that the princess was a fan of opera, so since she was coming out, he would listen to what the princess liked.

"Of course I like it."

Shi Yue was overjoyed, "Then let's go to Tingchun Garden."

When she got outside the garden, she suddenly felt like she was stupid. There was a rumored mistress inside, so how could she dare to bring Zhou Yuan here?

Did she get hypnotized by last night's confession?

"Come in," Zhou Yuan followed others in familiarly, found a seat and sat down like others, and even moved a chair out for her.

Shi Yue sat down, and she just seemed to see Yu Sheng.

"Gege, why are you here again today? Didn't you say you wouldn't come for a long time?"

As expected, Yu Sheng also saw her, sneaked over, squatted beside her and talked to her.

"Um, I brought a friend here today."

"Hello, I'm Zhou Yuan, Gege's husband." He extended his hand and shook hands according to Western etiquette.

Yu Sheng then raised his head to look at the man. This was the princess's unfaithful husband. He looked well-dressed, but there was no telling what kind of monster he was inside.

"Hello." He nodded but did not shake hands.

Shi Yue hurriedly pulled down Zhou Yuan's hand that was hanging in the air, "Hahaha, we Chinese don't do this, hahaha."

Yu Sheng pretended not to hear anything and just said to her, "Ge Ge, what do you want to listen to today?"

"We left at the last minute and haven't thought about it yet, so we just want to listen. We'll listen to whatever you sing."

Shi Yue really had no idea, so he just listened to what the troupe planned.

"How about a piece of 'Wujia Po'?" Yu Sheng suggested, but his eyes were looking at Zhou Yuan.

"Sure, I'll listen to you, Princess." Zhou Yuan still looked like an easy-going gentleman who was okay with everything.

"Then let's do this." Shi Yue saw that he hadn't changed his costumes yet, "Who's going to sing today?"

"I sing, me and Brother Bao."

Shi Yue was surprised, "You haven't even dressed up yet."

"I didn't plan to sing. I'll pack up during the day. I'm leaving on the train tonight."

"But, if I can see the princess before I leave, I have to sing a song anyway."

Shi Yue knew he would leave, but he didn't expect him to leave so soon. "Why didn't he tell me?"

Yusheng touched the back of his head and said, "Well, I thought I would tell you after I've settled down, but I didn't expect you to come."

Shi Yue actually left something for him that day, which was a letter of introduction. Her third brother was now leading troops in Tianjin, and they needed such talents there.

"Okay, I'm here in time. I'll listen to your performance carefully and send you to the train station in person."

"No, Princess, I can do it by myself. If you send me off, I will have to wipe my tears."

Yu Sheng quickly refused.

Shi Yue didn't listen to him, "Oh, you don't understand me. It would be fine if you didn't know, but now that I know all this, how can I let you go alone?"

"Alright, that's it. Go put on your makeup and change your clothes. Gege, I want you to be in your best condition."

Yu Sheng had no choice but to go backstage.
