After he finished speaking, Tan Siwei said somewhat shyly, "I'm so unambitious. I've embarrassed myself in front of you."
Ning Shu smiled and said, "If a person has no ambition, even if he reincarnates ten thousand times, he will only live the same life as he did in his first life. He will be like a walking corpse. Shaoqing's wish is more meaningful than most of us. How can I not laugh at it? "
Tan Siwei had been ridiculed and ridiculed by countless people since he was young. Some said that he was the son of the Prime Minister and was admired by tens of thousands of people, but he didn't know how lucky he was and that his brain was damaged. There were also some who said that he had deviated from the norm, that he was strange, and that he was really a weirdo … Even his parents would invite doctors and teachers to his house every few days to try and cure his whimsical dream. In his impression, Ning Shu was the first person to tell him that his wish wasn't laughable, and that it was worthy of respect.
The warmth in his heart grew stronger, and he was also touched. It was as if he had searched for a long time in a vast sea of people and finally found someone who understood him. Tan Siwei's eyes flickered, and he continued to pour out his heart.
"Since I was twelve years old, I began to try and leave my home, but I failed time and time again. In the end, I became the laughingstock of the entire capital. When I was sixteen, I made a promise with my father. If I could follow his wishes and become an official within eight years and sit in his position, I could resign and leave the capital to do as I pleased.
That was the only choice I could make at the time, so I agreed. At the time, I thought that as long as I worked hard, I could do it. But later, I realized that I had overestimated myself. Not to mention eight years, I'm afraid that I won't be able to fulfill my promise with him in my entire life. Because I'm not cut out to be an official.
Many people outside say that I'm experienced in doing things, that I'm considerate in all aspects, and that I'm very much like my father. But what they don't know is that it was actually my elder brother who secretly reminded me of these things. Compared to me, he's actually the one who can satisfy my father's expectations. From the beginning to the end, I've always been that ridiculous Tang Tang who wanted to fly into the sky with a big kite on my back. "
Ning Shu shook her head disapprovingly when she saw his face filled with loneliness and self-mockery. "Shaoqing is too modest. I already know that yesterday at Funing Palace, there were nearly a hundred officials present, but not a single one of them dared to step forward and accept this case. Only Shaoqing was willing to take on this responsibility and even spoke up for me in front of Assistant Minister Wang. This kind of bravery is something that many Marquises cannot compare to."
Tan Siwei smiled and said, "You don't have to comfort me. Even if I know it's a joke, I will still work hard. "
He paused and instinctively took a few steps towards Ning Shu. "If I, if I'm really lucky enough to fulfill my promise with my father and leave the capital, are you willing to …" A short sentence was spoken in a disjointed and uneasy manner. He raised his eyes and looked nervously and expectantly at Ning Shu. Finally, he asked, "Are you willing to travel with me …"
Two bookshelves away, they could hear the sound of the other officials quickly flipping through the files. Tan Siwei's trembling voice was not loud, but he had already mustered the greatest courage in his heart.
Looking at his puppy-like eyes, Ning Shu froze. Her heart rolled back and forth for a long time. She put down the half-flipped file in her hands and walked in front of Tan Siwei. She solemnly bowed to him and decided to be honest with him.
"I'm sorry. I lied to you about one thing and caused you to misunderstand. Actually, the person who was chatting with you in the prison wasn't me. "
Tan Siwei's eyes widened and he revealed a startled expression.
Then, his eyes flashed and he finally understood Ning Shu's completely different attitude from before. He said softly, "So, I misunderstood. Shu 'er doesn't have me in her heart?"
Ning Shu's silent response was the best answer. Tan Siwei's heart sank. He then said in a panic, "I'm really, really muddle-headed. Not only am I blind and heartless, I also thought too highly of myself and came to propose marriage. No wonder you previously … Ah, it's my fault! I'm really sorry to have troubled you. But don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone else about this. Otherwise, I'll go to hell and have my tongue pulled out after I die. "
