He asked nervously. It could be seen that this person was quite kind-hearted.
Liu Shimei di not like to hear others call her dog a fool. Xu Xian’s conservative way of saying things took care of her emotions, so she was not upset. She said frankly, “Yes, after a bout of illness, he couldn’t be cured. His brain was burnt out. Therefore, he behaves like a child all day long.”
“I can tell.” Xu Xian nodded and smiled “Looking at his behavior, he appears quite… Childish? But it’s not the kind of dementia.”
Liu Shimei’s eyes lit up when he heard his words. “Brother Xu! But based on your words, I must be friends with you!”
If a person’s mind was dirty, the world he saw would be disgusting.
If a person’s heart was pure, everything he saw would be beautiful!
The fact that Xu Xian could understand Huangfu Lingyao’s stupidity in this way proved that his heart was relatively clean and worthy of being friends!
However, Xu Xian was a little embarrassed to hear these words from a girl. “I’m stupid and my family is poor. Don’t you dislike me?”
“Although birth determines fate. But wasn’t there a saying that heroes didn’t care about their origins?” Liu Shimei smiled. “Because you were born poor, your life is more difficult. This is something you can’t choose. However, you can choose how to walk your own path, how to work hard, and how to change your current situation! You can choose to be mediocre, or you can choose to work hard. Who knows, you might become a hero in the future?”
A hero, in a narrow sense, was to become a big shot. In a broad sense, it was to stand out!
Her words were very inspiring. Xu Xian was originally a 17-year-old youth, and there was still the hot-bloodedness of a youth in his bones. Hearing her say this, he immediately felt a surge of emotion. “Miss Zhi Liu is right, but I…. I want to do something, but I never succeeded.”
Liu Shimei saw his lack of confidence and smiled, “You don’t have to be discouraged. You’re only 17!”
Xu Xian looked at her and said, “But you’re only 16 years old, and you’re even a girl.”
Liu Shimei smiled but did not say anything.
It was true that she was 16 years old. This body was well-read and talented because of her good background. However, she herself did not have any literary talent. Her medical skills and insight were all brought over by her 30 years of life in her previous life.
This was cheating, and she could not be sure.
“I don’t know what I can do in the future. I have been working in the Zheng Medical Hall for two years, but I haven’t learned much.”
Liu Shimei glanced at him and asked, “Don’t think about what you can do in the future. Tell me what you want to do.”
Although it was a little fake to say ‘What dreams do you have’, it was undeniable that dreams determined a person’s direction!
Interest is the best teacher. On the path that you like, even if it’s full of bumps and bruises, this person will still be happy.
It was not that he could not choose a smooth and broad road, but walking on that road, he might feel empty, lonely, and meaningless. He might even doubt the meaning of life.
Therefore, compared to ‘what you can do’, ‘what you want to do’ was more important!
Xu Xian listened to her question and thought about it seriously for a while before saying, “In the past, I only wanted to make a living for my family. Although it’s still very difficult now, I think it’s not bad to learn medicine.” “You want to learn medicine?” Liu Shimei raised her eyebrows.
Xu Xian nodded. “I don’t know if it’s too late to start at this age, but I’m actually more envious of those who work as medicine boys in the Zheng Medical Hall.” After saying that, Liu Shimei almost figured it out.
Xu Xian was actually quite simple-minded, and his character was relatively simple.
She thought for a moment and said, “It’s not like practicing martial arts requires you to start as a kid. As long as you want to learn medicine, it’s not too late to start at any time. It’s not wrong to start by recognizing medicine first. However, you are too busy, so you can’t rush it. Don’t think about achieving something in a short period of time..”
