After exchanging a few more glances with Wen Xi, Si Xing seemed to have regained some of his rationality and calmness. He looked at her and asked in a deep and serious voice, “So, have you decided?”

Wen Xi knew that he was asking if she really wanted to break up with Chen Ze. She smiled at him and nodded, “I’ve thought it through. I still have to thank you, Teacher, for scolding me ‘before’. Now, I know what I’m doing, and I’m very clear-headed.”

The smile on Wen Xi’s face suddenly widened as she spoke. She looked into Si Xing’s eyes and continued in a gentle voice, “Actually, even if Teacher didn’t call me just now, I would have come today to talk about these things. My relationship with Chen Ze is a lost cause, and I didn’t want to tell Teacher about that before this because I didn’t want to taint Teacher’s ears. The reason why I told Teacher so much just now was also because I know that Teacher has always been very concerned about me.”

“I’ve decided to divorce Chen Ze and I’m sure this matter will be settled soon. When the time comes, the Wen and Chen families will be happy. After all, this break-up will result in a win-win situation for both families. Teacher won’t have to worry about me everyday anymore. This was the first thing I wanted to tell you!” Wen Xi was a little choked up as she spoke. She exhaled and continued, “As for the second thing, it’s about the Public Welfare Medical Support Project that Renxin and the Beijing government signed. I want to participate in it.”

As the head of Renxin Hospital, Si Xing was not a stupid person. After he understood the two things that Wen Xi mentioned, he had complicated feelings.

The Public Welfare Medical Support Project that Wen Xi mentioned was actually just a sugar-coated name for a difficult job at the northern border. Renxin Hospital would organize a group of doctors every year to provide support to those who went there for medical treatment, and their stay there would last for eight months. As long as they were doctors in Renxin Hospital, they had to go. Each person took turns every year, and no one could avoid it!

After chatting with Wen Xi for so long, Si Xing naturally understood what his student was thinking. She wanted to hide for a while and didn’t want to stay in A City any longer. However, she still wanted to continue working in Renxin.

As for who she wanted to hide from and why she didn’t want to stay in A City, he already knew in his heart. He knew that she was a very strong and tough girl. Moreover, he was well-aware that Wen Xi had always been a woman of her word. As long as she has made a decision, very few people could change it! If even he, her mentor, couldn’t change her mind, then even the Wen couple would probably have a hard time too.

Thinking of these worrying things, Si Xing sighed deeply. After looking at Wen Xi, he slowly said, “I know you have a donkey’s temper and I also know that you’re not someone who would mess around. Since you’ve already thought about it, then just do it. All the other mentors will support you! I’m sure your parents will understand if you talk with them properly. However, remember not to be impatient and keep your straightforwardness in check. Discuss it thoroughly, okay?”

To be able to get the understanding and support of her teacher, Wen Xi’s heart was very happy and comfortable. She knew that if she suddenly said that she wanted to leave Chen Ze now, she might face many people’s puzzlement and opposition. These problems were inevitable for her.

She could only do her best and use the gentlest method to gain support from the people closest to her. Si Xing was only the first person to do so. There were still her parents and some friends she had to talk with.

With the luck of being reincarnated, Wen Xi also understood a lot of things. There was no truly perfect person in this world. She could not make everyone like her, nor could she care about everyone’s feelings, so she could only care about the feelings of the most important people around her. She did not need to care so much about others.

When a person grows up in life, they will be smart enough to let go of some unimportant things, so that they can continue to move forward more easily and happily. This might be the so-called ‘moving on’ in life!
