Rural Little Miracle Doctor: Starting in the Provincial Capital

Chapter 54 Wanjing's Wish to Follow You

First, when etiquette is established, the mind and spirit are at peace.

The warmth of the engagement ceremony still lingered gently in the Su family courtyard.

Su Wan sat quietly on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), leaning slightly forward, her fingertips gently stroking the wooden hairpin in her hair.

The wood grain was warm and smooth, and the touch was familiar; it was a keepsake that Chen Shanhe had personally placed in her hair.

Her lips were always slightly upturned, adorned with a gentle and reassuring smile, and her eyes were full of sweetness.

The unease, anxiety, and fear that used to haunt me day and night, and the deepest fear of being abandoned.

At that moment, with a solemn engagement and a firm promise, everything vanished without a trace.

She looked down at her hands, then gently touched her chest, feeling completely at peace and secure.

From now on, she will no longer be that ordinary girl who waited silently with a heavy heart.

She was Chen Shanhe's fiancée, a marriage formally arranged and witnessed by the entire village.

It has a formal status, a promise, witnesses from all the villagers in the courtyard, and the personal consent of the two elders of the Su family.

He had his sense of responsibility, his vows, and the warm hand that held her tightly.

She was no longer the woman who secretly wiped away tears, fearing he would never return, fearing he would change his heart and betray her.

She slowly raised her head, her eyes clear as water, her face no longer clouded with worry or trouble.

The fragility, timidity, and hesitation of the past have quietly faded away.

Instead, a firm and resolute strength arose from the bottom of his heart, calm and decisive.

She stood up gently, raised her hand to pat the dust off the hem of her clothes, and straightened her back perfectly.

His eyes held an unprecedented boldness and strength.

My mind was perfectly clear, with only one thought, simple and unwavering.

Wherever he goes, I will go.

He went to the provincial capital to make his fortune, and I stayed by his side.

With him around, even if the sky falls, someone will hold it up for her; no matter how strong the wind and rain, someone will shield her.

From this day forward, my heart will find its anchor, my emotions its trust, and I will stay by your side for life, never to be separated.

Poems as proof:

A single ceremony can determine a lifetime commitment.

Peace of mind and peace of mind.

So much thought in the past...

Today, all return to dust.

II. Packing her bags with a warm smile

Su Wanjing composed herself and stopped being lost in thought and feeling sad.

He straightened up, turned around, and quickly got to work.

She walked quickly to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), gently opened the old wooden box, and took out the clothes inside one by one.

The clean cloth clothes, the close-fitting shirts, and the trousers for going out were all carefully smoothed out and folded neatly.

As she tidied up, she muttered to herself, a gentle smile always on her face.

"When traveling, bring a few extra clothes so you can change easily and stay clean and presentable."

"The weather is getting cooler, and it's windy in the mornings and evenings, so I need to put on that thick cotton jacket too, so I don't get cold."

"Bring a couple more pairs of socks, so your feet will be comfortable when walking long distances."

Every word was filled with heartfelt concern and unconcealed affection.

After tidying up her clothes, she turned around and picked up Chen Shanhe's medical books one by one.

Those old medical books, with their worn edges and full of annotations, were the foundation of his livelihood.

She gently brushed away the dust from the covers, stacked the books neatly, and carefully wrapped them in a clean coarse cloth.

He then picked up the silver needle box, polished it until it shone with a cloth, cleaning even the corners, and carefully placed it on top of the bundle.

She bustled about, her steps light, her eyes bright, and her face radiant.

She looked nothing like the gloomy, tearful woman she had been a few days ago.

Chen Shanhe stood quietly at the door, his heart warmed and softened, filled with emotion.

He stepped forward and said softly, "Wanjing, you rest. I can do these chores myself."

Wanjing suddenly looked up at him, smiled, and her eyes sparkled with a captivating light.

"Shanhe, I am your lawfully wedded fiancée. Taking care of you is simply what I should do."

"You'll be busy practicing medicine and traveling around. Leave these things at home to me; you can rest assured."

Her smile was gentle yet firm, a smile that warmed Chen Shanhe's heart and brought a surge of warmth to his eyes.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

Poems as proof:

Lightly packing his bags, a warm smile graced his face.

Every stitch reveals true sincerity.

My past sorrows have gone with the wind.

On this day, all that remains is the desire to stay together.

Third, he resolutely spoke up and offered to go with them.

Everything in the room was tidied up, the bundles were neatly arranged beside the kang (a heated brick bed), and the surroundings instantly became quiet.

Su Wanjing straightened up, gently patted the dust off her hands, slowly raised her head, and her gaze steadily fell on Chen Shanhe.

Her eyes were clear and bright, without the slightest hesitation; her tone was calm, yet carried an unwavering strength.

"Shanhe, I've made up my mind."

Chen Shanhe's heart stirred slightly. He looked at her quietly and replied gently, "Wanjing, you speak, I'm listening."

Wan Jing took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly, her voice resolute, each word clear and forceful.

"I won't stay in town to wait for you."

"I want to go to the provincial capital with you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shanhe was immediately taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, which then turned into deep emotion.

He originally planned to go to the provincial capital to settle down first, and then come back to pick her up. Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to suggest that they go together.

Seeing that he remained silent, Wanjing continued to speak, her tone becoming increasingly firm, her eyes filled with unwavering courage.

No matter what lies ahead, whether it be windy, bumpy, bitter, or tiring, I will stay by your side.

"Never abandoning each other, sharing joys and sorrows."

"Wherever you are, that's where my home is."

"You venture out into the world, I'll stay by your side; you practice medicine and help people, I'll accompany you."

The fear of unfamiliar provincial capitals, the worry about complex human nature, and the apprehension about the unknown future.

At this moment, everything was completely dispelled by the love and determination in her heart.

She is no longer the girl who was afraid of parting, afraid of being alone, and afraid of being abandoned.

She was his fiancée, the one he was to spend his life with.

As long as I can be by his side, as long as I can walk alongside him.

Even if it means hardship and exhaustion, simple meals, and braving wind and rain, she is willing to do it all without complaint or regret.

With him by my side, I feel at ease everywhere, I feel at home everywhere, and the world is full of light.

Poems as proof:

With a single word, I've decided to accompany you on your journey.

Unafraid of wind and frost, undaunted by journey.

But I wish to stay with you forever.

Where in the world is there no light?

IV. Mountains and rivers moved by deep affection

Chen Shanhe stood still, listening quietly to Wan Jing's resounding words, his gaze fixed on her face.

The girl before me was still frail, but the determination in her eyes was more resolute than any man in the world.

She showed no fear, no hesitation; her eyes held only complete trust in him and an unyielding, burning affection.

He could clearly see the Wanjing who used to be afraid of parting, afraid of letting others down, who would secretly shed tears at night, and who was full of anxiety.

After an engagement and a promise, they have quietly grown up.

She grew into a woman willing to leave her homeland and accompany him to explore the world and share the hardships.

Upon thinking of this, Chen Shanhe felt a sudden surge of warmth in his heart, and a warm current rushed to his eyes, causing his eyes to become slightly moist.

A mix of emotion and heartache welled up inside me, filling my chest with a heavy weight.

He could no longer restrain himself, took a step forward, and without hesitation stretched out his arms to firmly embrace Su Wanjing.

This hug was extremely firm and forceful, as if he wanted to knead her whole being into the deepest, softest part of his heart.

It was as if all the heartache and all the cherishing were melted into this hug.

"Wanjing..."

He spoke, his voice trembling slightly, choked with barely concealed sobs, full of tenderness and cherishment.

"With your words, my life, Chen Shanhe, has been worthwhile, truly worthwhile."

"Rest assured, from now on, I, Chen Shanhe, will do everything in my power, even risk my life, to protect your life and ensure your safety."

I will give you a lifetime of happiness, make you laugh and never let you cry; keep you warm and never let you feel cold.

"I will absolutely not let you suffer the slightest injustice, and I will absolutely not let your journey here today be in vain, a wasted effort!"

Su Wanjing leaned against his warm and strong embrace, her heart burning as she listened, tears silently streaming down her cheeks.

Those weren't tears of grievance, nor tears of unease, but tears overflowing with happiness and a sense of peace.

She gently raised her hand, wrapped it around his waist, buried her face deep in his chest, and listened to his steady and powerful heartbeat.

Two hearts beat in unison, sharing the same rhythm, and from that moment on, they will weather storms together, depend on each other for life and death, and never abandon one another.

Poems as proof:

A loving embrace is as warm as spring.

A promise is a promise.

Though we are separated by vast distances, we share a common journey.

Together we stand, united in purpose, weathering the storms of life.
