The all-powerful wife of the wealthy family

Chapter 165 Always Go Forward, Don't Be Restless Forever

The operation lasted more than six hours, during which Leon's heart stopped beating several times, but luckily he managed to recover all of them in the end.

Alice helped Dennis out of the room, and she said to Nelson: "He is still alive, but nothing can be guaranteed now. Leon is injured too badly. We have tried our best. If he can persist for a few days and his body functions recover, Dennis performed another operation on him."

Weeping silently, Nelson said, "Thank you."

Dennis was relieved and passed out. Josh, who was standing aside, supported him.

Nelson wiped away tears and led them to his house, which was just behind the bookstore.

Wu Tong gave Dennis a blood transfusion.

Within days of arriving in Murcia, three of the six were injured and involved in a troublesome fight.

Zheng Jiaxuan has private activities, so he has not acted with everyone, and he comes and goes like a breeze in the tailor shop, and he doesn't communicate much with the people around him.

Thinking that Cui Nana was in the tailor shop by herself now, Wu Tong went back to her residence first, and when she returned, she found Bruna was feeding Cui Nana.

Cui Nana said to Wu Tong with a dark face: "I said I wouldn't eat it, but she didn't understand. I turned my head and refused to eat it, and she started talking non-stop. I was so annoyed."

After speaking, he chewed the bread in his mouth vigorously.

Wu Tong smiled and said "thank you" to Bruna.

In the end, Bruna fed everything on the plate into Cui Nana's stomach bit by bit.

Wu Tong told Bruna what happened in the bookstore.

"Green-haired male student?" Bruna asked, frowning.

Wu Tong nodded, it seems that this green-haired male student is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"His family is a gangster in this area. The police can't do anything about them. It seems that you have to find a new place to live. He will definitely settle accounts with you. The bookstore will also be closed. That kid always loves it. Bullying people, you guys are doing a disservice this time."

"Where's Dennis?" Cui Nana asked.

Wu Tong wrote lightly: "He is taking care of the patients over there."

Bruna said: "There are several houses in my friend's orchard that are vacant now. I will take you to move there later. We will go there tonight while it is dark. Maybe tomorrow will be too late."

Wu Tong didn't expect her to be so enthusiastic, maybe because they took action to save Nelson's family. Wu Tong could see that Bruna cared about Nelson very much.

"Cui Nana, we are moving to Bruna's friend's orchard, we are leaving tonight, what do you think?"

"Listen to you."

"Okay, so it's okay for you to be alone now?"

"kindness."

"Then I'll go to the bookstore and tell them."

Bruna stopped Wu Tong, "Wait a minute, you follow me to find my friend first, we have to get the key first."

Just when they were about to leave, Alice came back. Wu Tong decided to stay and take care of Cui Nana, so Alice followed Bruna to get the keys.

Bruna brought Alice a set of local women's clothes, and put on a delicate makeup for her, immediately becoming a Spanish woman.

"After a while, I told her that you are my niece from afar. She is a person who values ​​that orchard very much. Most people don't allow her to enter. I am her best friend. If it was my relative, she would not say anything. Just say that you live alone, don't talk about other things, it's winter now, and she has bad legs, so she usually won't go there."

Alice nodded and said, "Understood."

Bruna's friend is older than Bruna and looks like a teenager. Her legs and feet are really bad, and she walks very slowly on crutches. Alice acts like a well-behaved little girl the whole time. It couldn't be more charming. They got it quickly and smoothly The key to the orchard.

When Alice returned to the bookstore, Dennis had already woken up. She told everyone about Bruna's plan. Nelson insisted on staying with the eldest son here, but without Dennis, Leon would be in danger at any time.

A contradiction arose, Leon could not move and had to stay in the bookstore, and Dennis could not leave either.

Josh suggested: "Let's call the police."

Alice and Nelson said at the same time: "It doesn't work."

After everyone was silent for a long time, Alice suddenly asked, "Is there a playground or a square near here?"

Nelson replied: "There is a middle school on the previous street, and there is a football field."

Josh was surprised: "Do you want it?"

Alice said firmly: "I think it's feasible. We will move in the middle of the night and won't alarm the locals."

Dennis asked: "Is there a way?"

Josh: "ST-1"

Alice: "ST-1"

The ST-1 can be used as a helicopter, but it is a bit bigger, but if there is a playground, there will be a place to park it. The playground is only one street away from the bookstore, so that Leon will suffer the least impact.

The orchard is sparsely populated and very open, which is very suitable for ST-1 to land.

Alice said, "Dennis, let's take Leon on a stretcher and walk down the street, no problem."

Dennis replied: "If there is only this way now, this is the only way."

Wu Tong was waiting in the tailor shop for Zheng Jiaxuan, who came back late, and told what happened that day, and also explained that he was going to move in the evening. Zheng Jiaxuan frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with this change.

In the middle of the night, Nelson closed the bookstore and posted a closure notice.

Like silent nocturnal animals, a group of people made a big relocation.

When I arrived at the orchard, the morning light was slightly dew.

After checking each room, I found that there are four rooms available for people to live in. Both Cui Nana and Leon need Dennis to take care of them. The three of them live in the largest and cleanest room. Nelson and his youngest son Noah live in one room. Living in one room, Alice and Josh can only live in one room again.

Josh closed the door, looked at the opposite house through the window and asked Alice, "Dennis is also injured, should I go and take care of them?"

Alice leaned tiredly on the head of the bed, looked at the gauze on Josh's shoulder and said, "You're hurt too, just take a good rest."

Josh turned around and walked over, sat down on the empty half of the bed, "Where did the clothes come from?"

"Bruna gave it to me. I pretended to be Bruna's distant niece today."

"Alice, you're looking more and more like a Spanish girl." Josh rubbed his eyes, also looking tired.

"Should I keep dressing like this all the time while I'm in Spain? I think it's quite suitable for me. This makeup doesn't seem so difficult." Alice took out the mirror and took a look.

Josh said, "No."

"why?"

"Because I will be moved."

Alice looked away from the mirror and looked at Josh, just in time to meet Josh's burning eyes.

"Josh, I said..."

Josh cut off Alice's words, "I know, my memory isn't that bad."

Alice turned on the laptop, found some documents and read them. Josh took out the old bilingual dictionary. After reading only a few words, his eyelids became heavy, and soon his breathing became even, and he fell asleep. .

Alice looked at Josh's body recklessly, such a body exuding youthful vitality, full of seductive charm.

At such a close distance, you can really smell the hormones emanating from the young body.

She likes him, but she is destined not to have a lover, because her life may end at any time, at a time and place that no one can expect.

Her genes are in danger of mutation at any time, she cannot have her own children, she is a person with only today and no future, how can she pull another person she cares about into her turbulent life.

He is still so young, and still has so many possibilities, how can he delay on a woman who is ten years older than him.

No matter what she looked like, she was 34 years old, and she was a 34-year-old woman who had spent her life, a woman who couldn't sleep for a long time.

The sunrise is beautiful. When the city is about to wake up, the orchard is still peaceful, and the birds are singing happily on the fruitless branches.

This orchard is like a paradise isolated from the city.

The sun shines into the room, the makeup on Alice's face has not been removed in time, it is already a little faded, but it does not affect her beauty at all, she needs a little sleep, although she can't sleep well, but she has the ability to let herself Falling asleep quickly was a subject she had trained for many years, and it was no longer a problem.

She turned her back to Josh and lay down on her side. Josh heard the movement and changed her position in her sleep. Alice lay motionless. She held her breath unconsciously. When the person behind her lay down again, she It was only after he resumed his breathing that he completely relaxed and soon fell asleep.

Had a lot of dreams, like a real and illogical world.She wondered if the world in the dream might be a world parallel to our time, but they can't get through it, and we can't get through it.

Alice worried about the three people in Dennis' room, and got up after not sleeping for a long time.

She tiptoed out of bed, her clothes and attire were still the same as yesterday, she knocked lightly on the door of Dennis's room, and soon heard the sound of someone walking towards the door, Alice recognized that it was Trinana's footsteps , Cui Nana's hands are not particularly flexible, and it took a long time to open the door.

Alice asked softly, "How are you all doing?"

Cui Nana said: "The man was in a coma and didn't wake up. Dennis received two painkilling injections, and then lay on his side all night. He didn't know if he fell asleep or not."

Alice saw Dennis leaning on a chair in a strange posture, and there were traces of sweat on the thin white shirt.

Dennis suddenly said: "I slept for a while, but this waist really hurts, Nana, you don't need painkilling injections or painkillers, can you really bear it?"

Cui Nana said: "Maybe I am insensitive to pain."

"Bruna brought us food yesterday. I'll warm it up and bring it to you later." Alice said and walked out.

After a while, Alice brought over fried shrimp tails, potatoes and toast.

Cui Nana was injured on both hands, Dennis needed to support his body with his hands, and could not use his hands, so Alice had to feed them both while eating.

Alice smiled and said, "Fortunately, Josh still has one hand that can move freely, so I don't need to feed him."

Dennis chewed on a potato and said, "Maybe he really wants you to feed him."

Alice said helplessly, "I'm not a child, I like to be fed by others anyway."

Dennis saw that Josh was coming towards them, and asked Alice intentionally, "Then Josh will let you feed it too, do you want to feed it or not?"

"He can eat by himself, why should I feed him?"

Josh said suddenly behind Alice: "Because I can't eat myself now."

Alice was startled, and looked back to see Josh who had changed into clean clothes, except that he was only wearing a white vest and a pair of clean black trousers underneath.

At this time, everyone found that the arm that was normal yesterday was swollen, probably twisted during the fight. Before, they only noticed the other arm with obvious wounds and bleeding, and ignored this one.

Alice finished feeding the three "children" and took away their changed clothes. Fortunately, the careful Bruna brought them all the daily necessities.

The big sun in winter only gives people a warm feeling.

Laundry soap is not that easy to use, and its cleaning power is not comparable to that of laundry detergent, but Alice, who is sitting in the yard washing clothes, feels a real and strange sense of happiness.

Preparing breakfast, washing clothes, packing up everyone’s daily necessities, the long-lost life of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, abandoning all the life of fame and gain, it turned out to be so good.

Josh saw Alice busy, like the hostess of this small courtyard.

"Alice, you can only choose one, conquer or be conquered, which one do you choose?" Josh moved a small bench and sat next to Alice.

"I don't want to conquer anyone, but if there are only two options, I don't like to be conquered, so I choose to conquer."

Josh said: "Then I choose to be conquered."

Alice glanced at Josh helplessly, "No one likes to be conquered, and it is helpless to be conquered, such as Spain."

Josh said, "No, I'm not, I'm willing to be conquered."

Alice asked, "Do you know why so many countries want to conquer Spain?"

"Because it was accidentally built in a dangerous place, it is connected to the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Cantabrian Sea, and it is also connected to four continents."

Alice faced the sun, squinted her eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "Josh, I'm in a very dangerous place now, and I can't change this dangerous existence. So, I don't want to drag people into this place again." It's a dangerous place. Do you know what I mean? There is more freedom in living simply, and I don't have that freedom, so I don't have love. Josh, I can no longer choose my own destiny, but You're okay, you still have a lot of options, don't choose the hardest and most hopeless one, neither Jack nor Qiaolan want to see you make the wrong choice, and I don't want to be the one who makes you choose the wrong one."

"I only have one option here."

"Josh!"

"Alice, since I flew here with ST-1, I don't have many options left."

Qiao Lan, why did you agree to let your son come here? Don't you know that this is a road of no return?

In the final analysis, you are still a cruel person. Creating a perfect shuttle is your greatest wish, persistence and bottom line.

Thinking about it this way, it is reasonable for you to make such a decision.

Perhaps, it is not so easy for people to change their destiny, and perhaps this kind of attempt is a matter of overreaching.

We cannot change the inevitability, and it is difficult for us to control the contingency, but these contingencies can excite us, cause us pain, and make us unable to stop.

That's what keeps us—alive.

Josh glanced at the white shirt that Alice was rubbing, and said, "This laundry soap probably won't be able to wash off the blood on it."

"Yes, you will all wear it in the future."

At this moment, Josh remembered that Alice was having her period, "Is it okay to soak in so much cold water?"

"I'm Alice."

"You are a woman too."

"Alice, Josh, look this way." Cui Nana called them from behind.

When they turned their heads, there was a click, and Cui Nana permanently recorded this scene.

Cui Nana had a camera hanging around her neck, and the board on her left hand had been removed, but it was still tied with a thick bandage. Her movements were a little stiff when shooting, but the pictures she took were still perfect.

Josh in the camera has put on his coat and a gray turtleneck sweater underneath.

Alice changed back to her clothes. Her clothes are always so regular and restrained, with single color and old-fashioned style. She removed the Spanish girl's makeup, revealing her fair skin.

The distance between the two of them was one person, but there was an inexplicable intimacy. Cui Nana noticed this keenly. Sure enough, Dennis was right, there was already love between them, but Cui Nana felt that, maybe, The love was deeper than they thought.

Alice asked with concern: "Why did you take down the board so quickly, don't burn the root of the disease, it will be even worse for you in the future."

Cui Nana said lightly: "It's okay, I will be careful."

Alice thought that Dennis would dismantle it for her, so it shouldn't be a big problem, so she didn't say anything more.

Finally picking up the camera again, Cui Nana is in a very good mood, her eyes fall on every place, looking for every valuable and beautiful picture, her world is very simple, she only needs the picture she wants, she Her life and her soul are just pictures and pictures, open and frank, free and unconcerned, she goes where she wants to go, she does what she wants to do, and she grabs all the light for her soul Heying makes this soul full and powerful.

But she is soberly aware that for this clear and simple goal, she will pay blood and tears, and endure wounds and pains.

Her awareness made her never turn back, and her persistence made her become the Cui Nana she wanted to be, living up to herself and her family.

Nelson knew there was a small town behind the orchard, and he said he could go buy some meat and vegetables and cook a delicious lunch for everyone.

Before going out, Nelson repeatedly asked everyone to help take care of Noah, and went to see Leon many times.

After Nelson went out, Josh told Dennis: "Nelson was also a doctor before. When you went in to operate on Leon yesterday, I was still thinking about how to explain this situation to him. He told me first, if Leon Ang did not come back, he will not blame you, he is very grateful that you can help with this operation, because he knows that many doctors will not trouble themselves in this situation and perform manual surgery. He said he is very clear , Leon's injuries are severe, and he knows how low the probability of recovery is."

Dennis, who was joking about his waist with a playful smile before, suddenly fell silent when he heard this.

Alice dried her clothes on the hemp rope, walked into the largest room with a fresh soap smell, and heard them talking about Nelson, she said: "When Nelson was in the hospital, he often treated some emergencies privately. The hospital expelled him under pressure. Later, he took care of three patients outside, but none of them survived. Nelson was devastated. Leon and Noah’s mother suddenly disappeared one day, leaving nothing behind , No one knows where she went. Many people said that Nelson was useless, so she ran away with other men and lived a good life. At that time, Noah was still half a child, and she was not very good at talking. Nelson found that After Noah's intellectual development was hindered, he looked at his two poor sons and decided to cheer up. After that, he opened a small bookstore to make ends meet. Leon dropped out of school and worked on the pier. Later, he followed his dream and became a bullfighter. According to Bruna, Nelson has always been a very good-tempered and optimistic person. All the patients he treated said that he is the best doctor in Murcia. Bruna and Nelson grew up together and were going to marry Bruna in Nelson was forced by her father to marry a rich businessman. Later, this man became addicted to gambling. He owed a huge sum of money, so he was killed. The original house was taken away. Bruna saved a few dollars. Nianqian opened a pomegranate flower tailor shop, and life gradually improved."

The six of them were just passers-by in this simulated space, a tourist who left no trace in Murcia in [-]. They happened to know some stories, but they should be sane bystanders after all.

However, reality often changes rapidly, and they are involved in incidents without knowing it.

Nelson bought a lot of ingredients and brought back a little follower—Ainoa. She wore a turquoise hairpin on her head, wore a yellow skirt with a tight buttocks, and her clumsy heavy makeup showed her inappropriate maturity.

Obviously, she has been carefully groomed, and she is very satisfied with her current image, because she swings her waist and walks very confidently.

Seeing Ainoa twisted around, Josh felt helplessly dizzy.

Nelson pretended to be relaxed, and said with a smile, "Just wait, I'll let you eat your stomach at noon. Ainoa, you play with your brothers and sisters, watch Noah, I'll go in and see Leon first."

Leon woke up for a while when Nelson went out, and then fell asleep again, but the situation was optimistic. When Dennis saw Nelson again, he always had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Dennis felt that he had no way to comfort Nelson. Doctor's Nelson didn't need extra relief either.

And, the problem is, when it's just Dennis and Nelson, they don't speak the language and can't communicate.But just looking at each other, everything became clear and clear.

Alice asked Ainoa: "Did you meet Nelson on the road?"

Ainoa didn't look at Alice, and snorted perfunctorily: "Yes."

Alice motioned for Josh to ask, and Josh sighed quietly, then forced out a formulaic smile, and said, "Is Nelson's cooking delicious? Have you tried it?"

Ainoa immediately replied happily: "That's it, it's better than my mother's."

Seeing that no one spoke, Ainoa said positively again: "Brother Josh, why did you leave without saying anything? I have violin lessons tonight. Didn't you say you would help me translate? You can't go right?"

Josh looked at Alice and asked for Alice's opinion, Alice hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Josh said: "I promised you something, how can I return, what time is the evening, I will go there then."

When Ainoa smiled, her mouth was too wide, and her lipstick stained her white teeth.

"It's seven o'clock in the evening. I'll wait for you at home."

Josh asked, "Did you come here with Bruna?"

Ainoa curled her lips: "Where does my mother have time? Isn't it because I like you that she got you here and won't let you live in the tailor shop anymore. So what if Alice is your girlfriend, You are not married. Besides, my friend said, maybe you are just pretending to show me. My mother insists that you are real, so be real."

Ainoa quickly continued: "My mother has been tormenting me for a long time this morning, and she didn't tell me where you went, but I'm so smart, I can guess it as soon as I guess it."

Obviously, Bruna didn't bring Ainoa here. Ainoa's school is not a short distance from the orchard, and now it's only half an hour before her noon get out of class ends. Either she skipped class and left school early, or someone drove her came here.

"Ainoa, you're so smart, you just had class this afternoon?" Josh asked.

"Isn't that right, the last class today is math class, and the teacher insisted on finishing that problem before dismissing the get out of class, which made me anxious to death."

As a result, Ainoa not only did not leave early, but left school later than usual because of the teacher's procrastination.

"So your school is so close to this orchard." Josh sighed.

Ainoa didn't know that they knew a lot about Murcia's traffic, and only thought they were foreign tourists who knew nothing about Murcia. She simply didn't think that many of Josh's words were traps.

"It's so close, it's so far away. If my friend didn't drive me here, I wouldn't be able to get here by the time I have class in the afternoon."

"What kind of friend are you?"

Aiona's expression was a little unnatural, and she said perfunctorily, "Just an ordinary friend."

Alice felt deeply uneasy, and felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't guess anything at the moment.

Josh also felt that something was wrong, and felt a vague sense of danger.

At this time, Nelson invited everyone to have dinner. The sun was shining at noon, and everyone set up a big table in the middle of the yard.

On Josh's left is Alice, and on the right is Ainoa, one as a justifiable girlfriend and one as a new suitor, who keep holding food for him in both directions, and directly deliver it to his mouth when the bowl can't fit.

Ainoa took everything very seriously, and Alice just thought it was amused, and felt that her childish actions were very funny.

Next to him was also feeding, but it seemed extraordinarily loving and intimate. Cui Nana fed Dennis, and Dennis fed Cui Nana. You come and go, tacit understanding and beauty.

The most decent couple at the table, Wu Tong and Zheng Jiaxuan, seemed to be very well-behaved, eating their own food with their own concerns.

In fact, Wu Tong was alright, but Zheng Jiaxuan had a deep look along the way, with a kind of aloofness and desolation, which made the atmosphere between them a little dull.

Nelson only took two bites, and went back to the room to stay by Leon's side.

Noah was eating with a dull head. He ate very slowly and chewed every bite for a long time. Josh originally wanted to talk to Noah, but Nelson told him that Noah couldn't hear others talking when he was eating. He never talked, and when he was eating, just leave him alone and let him eat slowly. He had to eat for at least an hour for each meal.

Murcia has always bright sunshine, maybe the sea is not far away, and you can faintly smell the sea breeze.

In winter, there is still a warm wind blowing everything, which is really a happy thing.

Josh was sitting by the window watching "Don Quixote", with a bilingual dictionary next to him.

"Understand?" Alice asked Josh.

"I checked and watched. I have read the English and Chinese versions before, and I know what the story is, so it's okay."

"What are you talking about?"

"A man who was obsessed with chivalry novels, went out and became a knight-errant, he did as in the story, because of his ignorance, he made a lot of jokes and did a lot of meaningless absurd things, such as treating windmills as giants , regarded the convicts as persecuted knights, and even regarded the skin as the head of a giant. Finally, he woke up before he died. The knight team once created the golden century of Spain, so there were many knight novels at that time, and later knight culture So many robber knights appeared, Cervantes wrote "Don Quixote" after seeing a lot of ridiculous knight novels made up and instigated. He defeated the knight novel with a knight novel ... Belinsky said that Don Quixote was a 'perpetually moving image'."

"Who is Belinsky?"

"Also a writer."

"Sure enough, the interlacing is like a mountain. I basically haven't read novels."

"When I was young, my grandmother often told me stories. After I learned how to read, I read a lot of my grandmother's books, and found that all my grandmother told me were the stories in these books. I read the story of Don Quixote when I was five or six years old. I’ve heard it, but it was only viewed as a fairy tale at the time.”

"Do you miss your grandma?"

"kindness……"

"Let's go and see her later."

"is it okay?"

"try it."

"Will you accompany me then?"

"I still have to operate the ST series, so no problem."

Josh closed the book, sat next to Alice, and asked her, "Is there anyone you miss or want to meet?"

Alice was silent for a long time before saying, "No."

Josh knows so little about Alice, so she doesn't know why she doesn't have someone she misses and wants to see.

If it doesn't, that's a sad thing.

If there is, but she doesn't say it, then maybe she doesn't want to tell him.

Josh didn't know what the situation was, or there were other reasons, but he didn't want to know now.

Because no matter what the situation is, it is not beneficial to him at present.

"Leon is awake!" Josh heard disorderly footsteps from the opposite side, and Dennis and Nelson's voices. They needed someone to translate. Josh and Alice ran over and found Leon lying on the ground trembling violently.

Leon should have just woken up, but Dennis was already sweating profusely in just a few minutes, and the wound on his waist was oozing blood again.

Cui Nana leaned against the wall, staring at the wound.

She really wanted to rush over and yell, why would she try so hard to save someone who couldn't be saved anyway, but she knew Dennis too well, as long as there was still a breath, he would never give up.

Moreover, as long as she said that sentence just now, they were completely over.

Cui Nana picked up the camera hanging around her neck to appease her impulse that might explode at any time.

She just, loves him too much.

Faced with this situation, Nelson seemed calm, and Dennis saw in him the appearance of an experienced and highly skilled surgeon.

Dennis has some dependence on modern medical equipment, and the surgical equipment around him is limited. After discussion, it was finally decided that Nelson would perform the second operation on Leon. This was the first time Nelson picked up the scalpel again after many years. Still fluent and accurate, facing his beloved son, he can temporarily put aside his father's identity and concentrate on being a professional doctor.

Dennis didn't want to miss any of Nelson's small movements. This man who was still calm in the face of spurting blood, many small blood vessels and ruptured organs, was he really that naive man in the bookstore a few days ago? .

Dennis is also a good assistant. He can prepare everything before Nelson puts forward the demand, and hand over the equipment to Nelson at the most suitable time. Their tacit understanding seems to have been cooperated for decades.

This is not a sterile operating table, this is not an ideal operating table, but everyone is trying their best to save a person's life.

Josh: "Is he going to be okay?"

Alice: "All we can do is pray."

Josh: "I don't believe in prayer."

Alice: "Then what do you believe?"

Josh: "I trust Dennis."

Cui Nana glanced at them, and raised the corners of her mouth, as if she was smiling.

A few hours later, the operation was successfully completed. Dennis passed out again after the operation. Nelson re-treated Dennis' wound, and then gave him injections and medicines. Nelson regained the feeling and confidence of being a doctor.

Facing the sleeping Dennis, Nelson said to himself: "You will definitely become a very good doctor, you must be."

Hearing his words, Josh said, “He is already.”

Nelson didn't know their true origins, but thought Dennis was a medical student.If we go back to [-], Dennis can perform this surgery perfectly, but in [-], he was not used to it, so he didn't have the confidence.

Alice: "Did a knight novel beat the knight novel?"

Josh: "Huh?"

Alice: "Use a successful operation to defeat the previous failed operation, and use this success to regain the confidence lost in the last failure."

Josh smiled, "Use everything now to defeat the anxiety of the past."

Alice looked up at him, seeming to understand what he meant, but she was still uneasy, because it was easy for one person to gamble, and the success or failure was borne by oneself, but what about two people?
"Don't think too much, Alice. Always move forward, don't be restless forever." Josh said lightly.

Alice: "Josh, did you know that love can make people feel lonely?"

Josh asked back: "Don't you feel lonely if you don't love? At least you can be happy if you love."

Alice: "There is happiness in loneliness."

Josh: "Alice, do you think the joy of being alone is better than the joy of being in love?"

Alice didn't compare it with actual feelings, but the answer is obvious, isn't it.

Josh went on to say: "I know what you must have experienced, and I don't intend to know now. But, no matter what happened, will it affect you for the rest of your life? And, everything you worry about, I can guess , I didn't expect it, it's okay if it didn't happen, but if it happened, we can face it together. If you let me go here, can you guarantee that I can be safe in other places?"

Alice was silent.

Josh laughed and said, "It's not because you can't accept the relationship between siblings, is it? This reason is too nonsense."

Originally, Josh didn't want to pursue Alice so eagerly. He knew that now was not the best time, and they needed more understanding and communication with each other.

Moreover, he has no practical experience in love, and making a rash move will only increase the failure rate.

It's just that he can't seem to control the pace of his progress.
