Chapter 75: A Brief Meeting (1)
In less than half a month, the plague in Weicheng was under control. No one was infected anymore, and those who were already infected were recovering. The aura of death that had been lingering in the Weicheng area had completely dissipated. No one knew why this happened. To outsiders, it might be because of Zhou Yan, but who knew that it was the result of the hard work of the three most skilled doctors of the time. Of course, all this was made possible thanks to Yin Yin's dedication and hard work...
"Thank you so much, really-"
Yin Yin expressed her gratitude to Wang Ye, Gui Sha and Xue Han with joy and eyes full of joy. Although she knew that it was not enough to express it in words, she was still very grateful.
"My Lady, there is no need to thank me. You should know that helping others is what we, as doctors, should do. Why should we thank you?"
Wang Ye downplayed his own great achievements.
"It's all thanks to you that the people were saved. Of course, I can't express my gratitude with just a few words of thanks. I know I'm not qualified, but I still want to thank you. At least I can rest assured and leave with peace of mind."
"Princess?"
Yin Yin's sudden words surprised Wang Ye and others. It's not really surprising, after all, Wang Ye knew about it.
"By the way, Guisha, I'm really sorry, it seems I can't do as you wish."
Originally she had decided that as long as the crisis in Weicheng was resolved she would let Guisha fulfill his promise, but things were unpredictable. In order to save the people of Weicheng, Yinyin promised Zhou Yan. Now the situation in Weicheng can be said to have stabilized, and Zhou Yan has asked her to accompany him when he leaves.
"Princess, what on earth is this?"
When the other three were unable to speak, Xiuying spoke on their behalf, because she also realized that Yinyin's words implied farewell.
"Nothing, it's just that Weicheng is now confirmed to be safe, and it's time for me to leave."
"Leaving? Where to?"
"I don't know. I'll just go wherever I want. It doesn't matter anyway."
Yin Yin's words and tone shook everyone present. That tone of powerlessness and enlightenment sounded as if she had begun to give up on her life, as if after completing something meaningful, she no longer had any feelings about the future.
"Could it be that the prince said something to you?"
Xiuying could only guess that it was Zhou Yan who could shake Yinyin in this way. She certainly had no idea what had happened in detail, and among the people present, only Wang Ye knew the truth.
Previously, the focus was only on the plague. However, what cannot be avoided cannot be avoided. The time that is supposed to come will always come, just like now. Wang Ye knew that Zhou Yan had been waiting for this opportunity. It should be said that Zhou Yan seized the best opportunity during this period.
"It has nothing to do with him. It's my own choice."
Yin Yin walked through the crowd and went to the side. Everyone's eyes followed her, but they couldn't see her expression.
Xue Han knew the meaning of Xiuying's words, and the same went for Guisha, not to mention Wang Ye. When Yinyin came to see the three of them today, they all felt it. Xiuying's words were just for accompaniment, and they didn't know the details.
"This should be the last time I see you, so I think it is necessary to come and say goodbye to you in person."
Having said that, Yin Yin turned around again and faced everyone, with the same smile on her face as before, and everyone present seemed to notice the bitterness in this smile.
"I say again, thank you so much, thank you for letting me have no regrets. Even if we can't meet again in the future, I will never forget you. You are the treasure of this era. As long as you are here, I believe that no matter what difficulties I encounter in the future, I will be able to overcome them. Use your hands to save more people. There are still many people suffering from illness who need you. As long as you are willing, you can save more lives. This is also my wish. Of course, I will not force you for this, but I just hope that you can save those who need help. This time, I saw lives that struggled to survive even in the face of hardships such as the plague. Seeing this, I also deeply realized that sometimes a person's life does not only belong to himself. I am deeply moved by their spirit, so in the future, no matter what difficulties I encounter or what kind of pain I face, I will survive. This is what they taught me and what you brought to me."
In one breath , the words she spoke were more mature than before, as if she had experienced a lot in life in these short ten days, and understood the preciousness and difficulty of life. For those who want to live but cannot, and for those who hope they can live, the future is always full of hope. From this incident, she understood this. Even if the future is accompanied by infinite pain, she will try her best to live, for herself, for the people around her, and more importantly, to find the person in her heart.
"…Princess."
Xiuying felt the unwavering determination from Yinyin's words, so she knew that no matter what she said, Yinyin's determination would not change. But why did Xiuying feel uneasy? And she was restless, always feeling that something was missing.
