Chapter 1046: Chapter 1070: It’s Just Too Sad
Shi Nuan thought, in this life, she truly lived too sorrowfully. Abandoned by her parents at the orphanage from a young age, she was finally chosen by the Shi Family, adopted, and enjoyed a few happy days before being returned to her original form.
The birth of Shi Yue prevented her from becoming a pretty girl.
Because of Shi Yue’s words, the family could only have one Little Princess.
So she couldn’t wear dresses or keep long hair. Clearly a girl, she had to live like a rough man.
Who made her adopted? She could have a family, have food to eat, be raised by the Shi Family, and be educated; it was already a great favor. She couldn’t have any complaints, and grievances had to be swallowed.
Later on, she was further controlled by her second uncle, with restrictions on this and that; everything she wore or used needed his approval.
She was like a robot, being led to where she is today.
Now, she was being forced by Chu Zhan to face her shadows.
Her whole life, it seemed she never lived freely for herself. What sin did she commit?
Chu Zhan was also moved to redness in his eyes by Shi Nuan’s tears. He grasped her shoulders with both hands, solemnly saying, "I’m not forcing you, I’m helping you, Nuannuan. Calm down, listen to your heart. Do you want to leave? Are you someone who gives up easily?"
Shi Nuan looked at him through her tear-filled eyes, her lips trembling.
Chu Zhan continued, "The Shi Nuan I know is like a little sun, stubborn yet strong. She has a delicate heart, knows what she wants, and won’t give up because of a fear of water. This is just a momentary impulse. If she can’t pass this level, she will regret it in the future, she will regret it!"
Shi Nuan’s tense, excited nerves slowly calmed down, looking at the man close by, his face as wet as hers. Only his eyes, slightly red in the whites, looked at her full of enthusiasm.
Shi Nuan’s heart suddenly melted a small piece, she sobbed softly, "I’m not as strong as you think..."
"No, you are." Chu Zhan held her shoulders tighter, as if trying to convey his strength to her, "Nuannuan, calm down, listen to me. I’m helping you, we’ll face this together, overcome it together. You are a Doctor, you should understand, this is like treating a patient. If a patient loses hope for himself, not even an Immortal can save him, so you need to have confidence in yourself, tell yourself you can overcome it, okay?"
Chu Zhan supported Shi Nuan sitting by the shore, letting her stretch her legs down, guiding softly, "Nuannuan, just imagine yourself soaking in a hot spring. The water is not scary, not at all. Let’s slowly get in touch, feel it, don’t resist it, okay?"
Shi Nuan pressed her lips together, listening to Chu Zhan’s words, hesitated repeatedly, and tentatively extended her foot down. But as soon as she touched the water, the coldness of the liquid against her skin felt like an electric shock, trembling as she withdrew it.
"You can’t retreat!" Chu Zhan immediately jumped down, grabbed Shi Nuan’s ankle, with the two in a high and low position, he looked up at her, "Nuannuan, have you eaten fish? The taste of fish is very delicious, isn’t it? That’s because water nourishes them. Without water, fish would die; without water, humans can’t survive either. So why are you afraid of the natural element that sustains your life?"
