Gu Shiting didn’t answer Mrs. Gu, but stood up and left the table.
Mrs. Gu watched his back, knowing what he was thinking, feeling both helpless and powerless.
Sheng Tang said to Mrs. Gu, "I’ll go check on him."
With that, she chased after him.
Gu Shiting went to the study.
When Sheng Tang entered, she saw him sitting behind the desk, lying down on the desk, looking both cute and aggrieved.
She walked to his side and gently stroked his hair.
He didn’t lift his head but knew it was her. Her breath, the softness of her palm, he recognized it all.
His voice was very low: "Do you think I’m useless and cowardly?"
Sheng Tang extended her hand and gave him a hefty smack on the head.
Gu Shiting had no choice but to sit up straight.
Sheng Tang’s face held a cold sharpness: "Who said you are useless? You’re the smartest person I’ve ever known. You learn things at just a glance.
I’m telling you, Gu Shiting, I have a particularly strong mory, but I don’t grasp everything thoroughly after learning it once. Your ability isn’t just good mory, but a powerful skill.
Ninety-nine percent of people can’t do what you do. You’re a paragon of excellence, better than the vast majority. If anyone dares to say you’re useless, you should smack them hard!
Then, Sheng Tang smacked his head hard again, "Even you yourself aren’t allowed to say such things!"
Gu Shiting, initially feeling gloomy, finally revealed a faint smile.
Having been smacked twice, he actually felt better.
Sheng Tang’s words smoothed out the creases in his heart. All his difficulties seed insignificant now.
Seeing him a bit happier, Sheng Tang added, "If you don’t want to take the dicine, then don’t."
Gu Shiting hesitated a little.
Sheng Tang said seriously, "Modern life is so stressful, who doesn’t carry a bit of illness? Yours isn’t a terminal illness, it’s not life-threatening, you just need to be mindful.
It’s inconvenient to have this illness, but it’s really no big deal. There are many inconveniences in this world. For example, I want to fly everywhere in a private jet every day, but I can’t. Isn’t that the sickness of being poor?"
Gu Shiting laughed out loud.
It seed he had never considered it this way.
In his world, Sheng Tang had opened a new path.
She wasn’t teaching him to run away.
Quite the contrary, she was teaching him to be positive. To accept his shortcomings actively, and to use the energy spent worrying about these shortcomings on his strengths.
So what if he’s afraid of the dark? He can sleep in the light without affecting his rest.
So what if he can’t go out at night? He has other unparalleled attributes.
Gu Shiting reached out and hugged Sheng Tang’s waist, pulling her close.
He looked up at her and asked, "Tangtang, why are you so good to ?"
Sheng Tang had gone through a lot.
She had seen many people corner themselves and ruin what had been a good hand of cards; she had also seen people with very ordinary circumstances live happily and achieve great success.
One must not be obstinate.
Everyone’s life has many things they strive for but cannot get. Struggling for what cannot be achieved may lead to losing what was already owned.
Just like Gu Shiting, who has a good body now, only afraid of the dark.
If he uses dication, and the side effects beco significant, he ceases to fear the dark but loses his health, wouldn’t that be a greater loss?
"Because you’re very obedient," Sheng Tang said, smiling as her fingers gently ran through his slightly cool hair. "If you ever stop listening to , I won’t be good to you anymore."
Gu Shiting: "..."
Deep down, does Tangtang still see him as a child?
