Facing my persuasion, my father-in-law couldn't help but shake his head, his face gloomy.
"Sigh, I know. It's been so many years. I'll endure it as much as I can. Of course, I can't just look for problems from her. I have my own reasons too … Xiao Zhuang, you'll laugh at me if I tell you …" Then, he revealed a trace of bitterness.
It turned out that after driving for so many years, the function of his kidneys had not been very good. This directly reflected the ability of a man. As the saying goes, a person ages with each passing year. When he was in his twenties or thirties, he could barely satisfy the needs of his mother-in-law. As he became middle-aged, he could be considered to have the will but not the ability. Sometimes, when his mother-in-law just entered the mood, he would throw away his gun.
It wasn't strange. On one hand, he had to take care of the family. On the other hand, he had to drag his tired body back home at night. A woman in her forties was like a hungry wolf. Sometimes, when his mother-in-law wasn't satisfied, she would humiliate him, saying that he was not as good as cucumbers and eggplants. This hurt his self-esteem. As time went by, the relationship between the two of them became like walking on thin ice. Of course, due to the appearance of a good son-in-law like me, those financial disputes were put to rest.
However, when it came to sex, my father-in-law wasn't confident. This was also the main reason why he didn't have a position in the family. However, he was just a passable man. He wasn't as useless as his cousin. In the past, he didn't have enough money, so he didn't seek treatment. Recently, he was thinking of consulting a specialist to at least understand the situation.
Thus, I brought my father-in-law to a prostate specialist for a diagnosis. As expected, it had something to do with him staying up late for a long time. His body was strained, and he couldn't get a good rest. As time went by, he was prone to male problems.
Moreover, his condition was quite serious. The doctor didn't dare to guarantee anything. He only prescribed some medicine to recuperate and advised him to take care of his body and mind. My father-in-law agreed readily. Actually, I also hoped that he could recover and regain his masculinity as soon as possible. Back then, my sister-in-law drugged me, and I couldn't get a reaction down there for a long time. That kind of deep sorrow made me want to kill myself. Therefore, I could understand my father-in-law's bitter tears …
After comforting my father-in-law, I sneaked out to see Liu Jie. No matter what, I should tell her. Although she didn't remember me, when she found out that I was going on a long trip, she was obviously stunned. She couldn't help but ask me, "Is it dangerous?"
I nodded and said, "I might not be able to come back." Liu Jie had a complicated expression. "Jerk, are you trying to make me agree to your confession? Is that why you're using this method?"
"It's not that. I'm just telling you the truth. But it's better if you can't come back. then, no one will be shameless enough to pester you." I shrugged.
"Hmph, it's not like I dislike you. Why do you have to say that?"
Liu Jie rolled her eyes. Then, I casually chatted with her for a while. Then, I prepared to leave the hospital. I wanted to seize the last bit of time to further refine my physique. This was because I was surprised to find that as I entered the fourth cycle, there was a power that was different from Qi-Jin in my meridians. If I wasn't wrong, it should be the inner strength recorded in the Yijin Jing. This was a kind of foundation to strengthen the body. If I could use it properly, it would definitely have an unexpected effect.
"Okay, I still have something to do. I'll leave first. I mainly wanted to say goodbye to you. Otherwise, you won't be used to not seeing me in the future. Looking at you, it seems like you can't bear to part with me."
I said with a cheeky smile. Just now in my sister-in-law's room, I had experienced the pain of parting, so I didn't want to dwell on it.
"Tsk, who would be reluctant to part with you!"
Although she said so, the moment I left the ward, I clearly saw the reluctance in Liu Jie's eyes, even if she was trying her best to suppress her emotions.
Although she had forgotten my existence, Liu Jie's arrogant personality didn't change. She waited until I was completely far away.
In the ward, Liu Jie's silent tears fell down. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Why didn't you ask him to stay?
If he really can't come back, won't you regret it?
Hehe, you're not the only one who wants him to stay. Even if you ask, you'll just be asking for trouble … "
If I could hear this, I would definitely jump with joy. Actually, Liu Jie didn't lose her memory. She just pretended it. She couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart. She didn't know how to face me when she woke up.
In the process of her coma, she had a very long dream. She sincerely hoped that she could return to the past. When she first met me, she might not have taken the initiative to confess. She would have cheated herself like that and fallen into a passive position.
So, Liu Jie simply made a bold decision, which was to pretend to have selective amnesia. Based on her understanding of me, she definitely wouldn't let go. That wasn't in line with my style of doing things. For a man, it was difficult to accept the feeling of losing something that you've gained. Just like Liu Yuhan's departure, it was a huge blow to me. Liu Jie chose to gamble on the fact that I would accompany and take care of her.
Indeed, she made the right gamble. The guilt and regret in my heart made me correct my attitude and sincerely care for her. From taking care of her daily life to playing games with her, it could be said that my entire being revolved around Liu Jie. She especially enjoyed the feeling of being doted on.
Love and being loved were two different experiences and states of mind. In the past, although she was my girlfriend, there were many things that I didn't do well enough. My focus was on my sister-in-law. To put it bluntly, I used Liu Jie as a shield. How could she not know that? Even if she was a little jealous, she still had to hide her emotions to prevent me from being unhappy.
As she pretended to have amnesia, some of the care and love that she couldn't get were obtained bit by bit. She enjoyed the feeling of being pursued. Although she was a little scheming, she didn't regret it.
However, the good times didn't last long. Before Liu Jie could be properly loved, I had to leave with her. She wanted to keep me, but she didn't have the courage. Once she was too emotional, it would be easy for her to expose herself. She was a smart girl. If even my sister-in-law couldn't keep me, how could she? So, after struggling with her thoughts, Liu Jie decided to keep her secret. At least, if this kind of life was as beautiful as it was when we first met, it would make people yearn for it …
