Dong Huiying tosses and turns in bed, finally coming to an understanding. Distinguishing between the trivial and the crucial is key and must be clarified. As for this debt, she can keep track of it for now and settle it later with Liang Zhichen. However, presently, she must address the problem at its root. For example—when she placed the curse on Zhi Chen, it was clearly targeting the Mind-Bewitching Gu, aimed at countering the side effects left by the superstitious mother-and-son Gu. According to her estimates, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should only take three days for Zhi Chen to recall all past events and revert to the him she was familiar with. But now there has been an unexpected occurrence, indicating that something went wrong. She must identify what went wrong, and then make corrections. With setbacks come courage, perseverance forbids surrender from just one or two failures. If she had already given up on the idea of finding these men initially, she wouldn’t have persisted until now. Like a carp leaping from the water, she jumped out of bed. Shu Yu had been keeping vigil by the bedside. When she was displeased, his mood was also somewhat gloomy, but seeing her renewed vigor, he discreetly breathed a sigh of relief, then a slight, gentle smile appeared on his lips. This man’s smiles were always refined; he’s never been the type of man to be wild and unrestrained. He was reserved, even when happy, only slightly so. Humans are really peculiar. If stuck in a rut, things become increasingly bothersome, depressive, and distressing. Yet once the perspective changes, suddenly it becomes clear that it’s not that significant, and one’s prior entanglements seem truly unfounded. After all, life is just . Unsatisfactory things happen frequently, and no matter what setbacks or challenges arise in life, the most important thing is to remain true to oneself, face everything with a smile, and possess a spirit as resolute as the mountains and rocks. This man possesses the entire Mist Capital. He is the Nameless City Lord, strong and domineering. He is like a beast skilled in plunder, wanting something, he acts without hesitation and directly seizes it. But now, he is facing a major difficulty. He had enraged that woman. He recalled her departing angrily, furrowing his brows tightly. His mind is like a clear mirror, but half dark and half light. At once, he felt smug, pleased that his former self held such importance in her heart. On the other hand, he envied that self, occupying too much of her emotions, resulting in him feeling that the woman has become like a hedgehog, which leaves him unsure where to start. He knows he was wrong and wants to apologize, but male pride and ego are at play. Worried, he thinks, what if he goes to apologize and she refuses to forgive him? He hesitated for a long time inside the Bell Tower. Finally, he made up his mind. He should go, and if she still harbors anger towards him, he would sincerely coax and appease her. If she refuses to forgive him, then once won’t suffice, perhaps twice. As long as there’s perseverance, even an iron bar can be ground into a needle. Moreover, she is inherently an emotional and soft-hearted woman. Thinking thus, he tidied his robe and leisurely stepped out of the Bell Tower. But recalling the ruthless elegance she displayed when striking, like a rose with thorns and stained with blood. Is she really soft-hearted? He couldn’t help but hesitate again. Shaking his head, he thought, he must not be defeated by such minor setbacks.
