Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1072: Chapter 1073: It’s Not... It’s Real...

He waited for a long while, and seeing that no one responded from inside, he softly added, ”I’m leaving.”

He waited again for a long while, still receiving no response, Meng Zhuqing finally left.

Inside the room, Tobanya wasn’t asleep at all, nor was she lying on the bed, but sitting on the bed with her knees hugged to her chest.

The room was dark, but her eyes were red.

That night, she had confronted him impulsively because she was feeling too miserable, and she hadn’t intended to be with him. But now, this made her feel even worse than before.

She really regretted it.

She shouldn’t have confronted him...

...

In the following days, Tobanya still didn’t leave the door open for Meng Zhuqing at night, hence Meng Zhuqing still hadn’t seen Tobanya.

Seeing Meng Zhuqing becoming increasingly depressed, An Jing and Xiao Changyi discussed it, and eventually, An Jing went to see Tobanya.

Tobanya could get out of bed and move around now, no longer needing to lie in bed all day to recuperate.

An Jing first chatted casually with Tobanya, then mentioned Meng Zhuqing, ”He’s been feeling really awful lately.”

Tobanya instantly fell silent.

Seeing her like this, An Jing sighed and said, ”You’re also suffering, aren’t you?”

Though the sentence was phrased as a question, it was affirmative; Tobanya was truly suffering.

Tobanya continued to remain silent.

An Jing sighed again, ”Having you accept him and be together with him right now might be difficult. However, I still want to advise you not to take the matter of not being able to have children too seriously, as it’s not something you can decide.”

Pausing for a moment, An Jing added, ”The way things are now, neither you nor he are happy. You clearly love each other, so why torment yourselves like this? Wouldn’t it be better to just be happy?”

Tobanya remained silent still.

Tobanya was a person with very strong opinions, and An Jing knew that no matter how much she said, ultimately, it was up to Tobanya to come to terms with it herself. So, she didn’t say much more, but instead said, ”He really doesn’t mind whether you can have children or not. Just think about it yourself. Whether to continue tormenting yourselves, or choose to be happily together.”

After An Jing left, Tobanya watched the lotus flowers in the Lotus Pond and murmured softly, ”Be happy...”

...

That night, Tobanya once again left the door open for Meng Zhuqing.

Meng Zhuqing, like before, came to the door of Tobanya’s room and tried gently pushing it. He hadn’t expected it to open, but it did.

Surprised that it opened, Meng Zhuqing was first stunned and then overjoyed.

Then, suppressing the joy in his heart, he entered Tobanya’s room.

Through the moonlight, Meng Zhuqing saw right away that Tobanya was sitting on the bed with her knees hugged to her chest. He was taken aback again and then walked over to Tobanya.

Although Tobanya was sitting there hugging her knees, her eyes were closed.

As Meng Zhuqing walked up to the bed, about to speak, Tobanya spoke first, ”That night, it was just a dream.”

Meng Zhuqing immediately said, ”It wasn’t a dream, it was real.”

Tobanya insisted, ”It was a dream.”

”It wasn’t...” Meng Zhuqing didn’t want to argue with Tobanya about anything, but at this moment, Meng Zhuqing still very softly contradicted her again. That night, she only wanted it to be a dream, but it wasn’t a dream; she liked him, and he liked her.

How could it be just a dream?

If it were truly a dream, he would wish never to wake up.

Ignoring his contradiction, Tobanya slowly said, ”Having you in my dream... now that the dream is over, you should leave, right?”

As she spoke, Tobanya opened her eyes and looked at him.
