Zixie Qing smiled and said, "Don't you know?"
Chu Yang took a deep breath and replied, "I'm not sure."
Zixie Qing said lightly, "Actually, you already know, but you need my confirmation." She looked up at Chu Yang and continued, "It's really unnecessary; once you know, it is confirmed."
Chu Yang tilted his head back, and the rain poured down on his face as he softly said, "I miss it so much."
Zixie Qing nodded lightly and didn't ask further. Instead, she changed the subject and asked, "Chu Yang, in your heart, who is more important, your beloved woman or your brothers?"
Chu Yang was taken aback and replied, "How should I evaluate that?"
Zixie Qing said calmly, "If there is a battle and your beloved woman and your brothers are both in a life-or-death situation, and you can only save one, who would you choose?"
Without hesitation, Chu Yang answered, "Whichever I see first, I'll save that one."
"And if you see them at the same time?" Zixie Qing pressed on.
"Whoever is closer to me, I'll save that one." Chu Yang found it amusing: "Is such a question really necessary?"
"What if you were given time to choose?" Zixie Qing asked. "What if you had to weigh it in your heart?"
Chu Yang frowned, "That's completely unreasonable! If I had time to weigh it, I would certainly have time to save them both; why would I need to weigh anything?!"
"What if it's just one choice?" Zixie Qing probed.
"Go to hell with choices!" Chu Yang said forcefully. "No choices! No weighing! What are you women thinking? Are you tired of considering these boring questions every day?"
"Some women ask men, 'If you could only save me or your mother, who would you save?' It's utterly ridiculous!" Chu Yang exclaimed angrily.
Zixie Qing said lightly, "Actually, women like to ask these kinds of questions to prove their status in a man's heart."
Chu Yang chuckled, "Forcing men to make choices? Get lost! The answer to that question should be: Be patient and wait until you have a son. When your son's wife asks him that question, then you'll hear the standard answer."
Zixie Qing laughed.
"Have you figured it out now?" Zixie Qing asked softly.
Chu Yang was taken aback and burst into laughter.
Some things, even when you are certain in your heart, still leave you half in doubt. At such times, you need someone else's affirmation. An affirmation from others can turn your half certainty into a complete one!
But even if someone else's affirmation is correct, you are still influenced by them. You did not overcome yourself alone; you were defeated by others!
So you just need to tell yourself: My affirmation is my decision!
And that is enough.
This is also an inner demon! Moreover, it is an inner demon that everyone has. Whether ordinary people or supreme masters, which is more important, a father or a mother? A wife or a child? Brothers or a wife?
There will always be no answer to these questions. Forcing a choice can really lead to a breakdown.
No one wants to make such a choice!
Zixie Qing pushed Chu Yang to a dead end with a choice that could not be both, and then at a critical moment, she shattered it! With a single sentence, she broke through Chu Yang's inner demon!
Chu Yang chuckled self-deprecatingly, "It turns out that I still have some indecisiveness in my character."
"Everyone hesitates!" Zixie Qing replied. "It just depends on how quickly they decide."
Chu Yang nodded slowly.
The two stood in the rain for a while and then slowly walked back.
Unlike before, now Chu Yang's heart was filled with warmth. That must be my brothers! Even though I have no evidence, no one else can give me this sense of familiarity and closeness like they do.
I am waiting for you!
I am looking forward to you!
Brothers, hurry up! Nine Heavens is ours!
Chu Yang's face flushed red with excitement.
As he entered the room, Ling Hanxue and the others were all taken aback. In their eyes, the seemingly powerful Chu Yang looked like a drenched chicken, while Zixie Qing was completely dry.
This was odd.
No matter how much Chu Yang sheltered Zixie Qing, he wouldn't end up soaked while she remained unaffected. If Chu Yang had used mystical energy, that would make sense, but the current situation clearly didn't indicate that!
