Chapter 553

Upon hearing this, Xu Hongdou hesitated, then finally nodded, biting her lip.

Chen Nanxing smiled: "I told you so—you'd eventually fall for Qin Feng. Too bad you never listened to me. If you'd just chased him earlier, none of this would've happened!"

"Not necessarily."

Xu Hongdou, eyes red, shook her head and retorted: "If I'd been with him back then, my heart would hurt even more now."

"You don't even have the right to hurt!"

Chen Nanxing glared at Qin Feng in exasperation: "Xu Hongdou, you didn't listen to a word I said last time…"

"What century are you living in, still dreaming up those ridiculous fantasies…"

"I told you, Hongdou—life only comes once. There's no next life. If you like someone, go after them. If you want something, go take it. You're already past thirty—acting so shy and hesitant, what's the point?"

"Do you still think you're some naive sixteen-year-old girl? No, Xu Hongdou—you're just a thirty-something spinster no one cares about!"

"If you don't seize your own heart's desire, if you don't grab this feeling, your future will be numb, aimless, just drifting along! Xu Hongdou, is this really what you want?"

"Do you really want to end up like me—past thirty, never had a real relationship, never truly felt the joy of being a woman, then suddenly get cancer and die?"

"Xu Hongdou, can you wake up? Can you avoid walking the same stupid path I did?!"

"Xu Hongdou, be bold! Be open! If you like him, go after him—no matter how many women are around him, go after him, okay?!"

"Xu Hongdou, we only have this one life. I'm already a regret—do you want me to die carrying your regret too?"

"I'm telling you, Xu Hongdou—if I hadn't gotten cancer, if I hadn't shaved my head, I'd already have stripped naked and gone straight to Qin Feng. Do you believe me?!"

Chen Nanxing spoke with fierce intensity,

leaving Xu Hongdou momentarily unable to accept it.

After softly comforting Chen Nanxing for a moment,

Xu Hongdou made up some excuse about needing fresh air and left.

After Xu Hongdou departed,

the young nurse hesitated for a moment,

then quietly said: "Sister Nannan, you were a bit harsh on Sister Hongdou just now… and what you said was a little too much…"

Hearing this, Chen Nanxing sighed helplessly and smiled: "What can I do? If I don't talk like this, Hongdou will never wake up."

"In the past, I was just like Hongdou—I dreamed of a perfect love, even scripted every detail, allowing not a single flaw."

"But since I entered the hospital and learned I had pancreatic cancer, I realized how pretentious and stupid I'd been—truly!"

"In pursuit of so-called elegance and perfection, I turned away all the boys who liked me, abandoned a stable life, and insisted on moving north to fight for fame and fortune!"

"But once I arrived in the Capital and truly began living, I realized I was nothing—worthless, even less than a fart in the eyes of the rich!"

"Those years I worked myself to the bone were exactly when I was most beautiful, most attractive—just like Xu Hongdou—we had looks and figures, yet insisted on carving out our own future in the Capital!"

.... 0

"Damn it, a single apartment in the Capital costs more than we could earn in ten lifetimes—what the hell do you think you can fight with?!"

"Sigh… too much to say, too much… it's all Hongdou's fault…"

"Actually, I've known for a long time—Qin Feng cares deeply for Hongdou, and Hongdou likes him too. But Hongdou still acts so timid, thinking cooking soup or making a meal will make him understand her heart…"

"But Sister Hongdou, Qin Feng met me and you with genuine feelings, spending tens or even hundreds of thousands directly—do you really think your few hundred yuan of soup can be an equal exchange?"

"Besides, Hongdou is really past her prime—if she could have even a story with Qin Feng, it'd give her some security, at least ensure she won't go hungry or cold… sigh…"

As Chen Nanxing spoke, she grew agitated again,

then looked at the young nurse and sighed deeply: "Sister, do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I understand."

The young nurse nodded seriously: "Actually, Sister Nannan, if Qin Feng didn't reject me, I'd already be clinging to him—he's good-looking, rich, and righteous. Being with him wouldn't be a bad deal…"

"See? Even you get it…"

Chen Nanxing turned to look out the window and sighed helplessly: "Xu Hongdou, Xu Hongdou… when will you finally wake up?!"

... Corpse.
