It wasn't that Song Yuan didn't feel bad.
In the past, when they were together and she didn't know his identity, she still felt sorry for him when she heard that he was an orphan. Later, when she found out about his true identity, those soft feelings were all taken back by her due to the great disparity between their statuses. Thinking about it carefully, wasn't she in the wrong for their relationship to have come to this point?
Their statuses were there, and it was basically impossible for them to have a happy ending back then. But if she had worked harder, maybe — maybe when she came back, he wouldn't have any regrets.
"Why are you telling me these things?" Song Yuan was upset, but she couldn't help feeling puzzled. "You didn't tell me in the past."
Yung Heng placed the wine glass on the table in front of him. He put his hands behind his head and leaned casually. He glanced at her and smiled. That smile was bright, just like back then. "I read in a book that women are different from men. Sympathy will stimulate their feelings. I was thinking that if I told you these things, maybe you would pity me a little."
Song Yuan was speechless again.
However, she also understood him. If he really had such thoughts, then he wouldn't be himself. If she really showed pity for him, he might even be very angry.
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth." Yung Heng chuckled softly. "My thoughts are a little worse. I just hope that this matter can be a little more fair. I won't fall in love with anyone else, and I won't be with anyone else forever. Then I hope that you can do the same. Even if we don't live in the same time and space, you should never fall in love with anyone else. We're both lonely. "
This was the truest thought in his heart.
In this lifetime, he would never accept her falling in love with someone else, marrying someone else, and having children with someone else.
Before he left, he had told her the most secret and unbearable things in his heart. Was he the best person in her heart? After she found out that he had lied to her, she still liked him, but she wasn't as calm as before. Didn't that also prove that he was the person she liked the most in all these years? Now that he had changed even this shortcoming, would there be anyone else like him in the future?
Song Yuan: "… I don't think my parents will agree either."
Yung Heng was amused by her words. He looked at her seriously and said, "Listen carefully. You've come back to the modern world from the ancient times. You have to live happily and freely here. No matter what you do or say, you have to be happy. Otherwise … how would it be worth it?"
Song Yuan understood what he meant. Her eyes quickly reddened, but she still nodded gently. "Okay."
Finally, Yung Heng hugged her gently and whispered in her ear, "Be happy."
"Yes."

The days on the island passed quickly. Rong Ting was very happy every day. Song Yuan even took him to dive and see some sea creatures. Of course, he also got tanned quite a bit. The main reason was that he was too straight and didn't want to apply sunscreen. Every time, Song Yuan had to persuade him until his mouth was dry before he reluctantly agreed. For the past few days, almost every meal was seafood. Rong Ting was almost tired of eating it. When they returned, Song Yuan also took him to buy a lot of local specialties.
Song Yuan hoped that Rong Ting could properly say goodbye to the people who cared about him and appeared in his life.
As the day of their return approached, Song Yuan's initial panic and reluctance to part was now calmly accepting.
Perhaps she wouldn't be used to the days when Gugu wasn't around, but she thought that she would definitely be happy again. Not only did she agree to Gugu, but she also agreed to Yung Heng.
From ancient times to modern times, and then to the separation of mother and son, if she didn't lead a good life in the future and lived unhappily, wouldn't it be too bad?
When Chen Linjing and Song Haiping found out that Rong Ting was leaving, both of them cried. Song Haiping hugged Rong Ting with a sad expression. "Look at you. How many years have passed since ancient times to modern times? Why don't you stay in modern times and go to the backward feudal era? Aren't you a smart child? Why did you drop the ball at this juncture?"
Rong Ting didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "But if a dynasty doesn't have a leader, the people will have a hard time."
"If you don't do it, someone else will. When the boat reaches the bridge, it will cross the bridge!"
"If even I don't do it, who will?" Rong Ting turned around and comforted Song Haiping. "Grandfather, I'm the crown prince. I should take on the responsibilities of a crown prince."
Song Haiping was also a man. Even now, he sometimes liked to read novels about conquering the sea of stars. He also understood Rong Ting's ideals and ambitions. At this moment, he just felt a little sad.
"A crown prince should take on the responsibilities of a crown prince. A man should also take on the responsibilities of a man." Rong Ting said this out of the blue.
Song Haiping: "…"
Why did he feel that this brat was insinuating that he was talking about him?
Later, Song Yuan even brought Rong Ting to the study center. She had already told Teacher Helen that Rong Ting was going to study abroad. Teacher Helen had applied to the study center and said that she wanted to hold a farewell party for Rong Ting.
When Rong Ting found out, he especially asked, "There won't be a segment where everyone will surround me and sing a birthday song, right?"
He recalled the day when a friend celebrated his birthday. The entire house sang a birthday song … It really made him feel suffocated.
"You wish. It's not a birthday. Who would sing a birthday song? It's just a gathering of friends. I've already told your Teacher Helen that I'll buy some pizza and desserts. Gugu, I know that to you, those friends aren't your friends. But I feel that since you studied together, you should properly say goodbye to them. Who knows, you might miss them in the future. "
Rong Ting coolly expressed that he wouldn't. "I won't miss them."
Song Yuan couldn't help but laugh. "Then let's make another bet. I bet that you will miss them."
Rong Ting's interest was piqued. "What's the wager?"
"The wager is that if I win, you'll still be Mom's child in your next life, okay?" Song Yuan looked at him and pointed to her stomach. "Okay?"
When Rong Ting heard this, he suddenly felt sad. He lowered his head and grunted gloomily. "No matter if I win or lose, I'll still be your child in my next life. When that time comes, I won't leave you, and you won't leave me."
When the mother and son talked about this topic, they were happy again.
Song Yuan felt that there was nothing impossible about going through the present and then the past and the present!
"Then will you recognize me?" Rong Ting asked again.
Song Yuan thought for a moment. "Mothers will recognize their own children immediately. I should be able to."
After making a promise about their next lives, Song Yuan wasn't sad anymore. Rong Ting wasn't sad either. The mother and son happily went to the learning center.
Teacher Helen prepared a small gift for Rong Ting. It was the English version of the Little Prince. Rong Ting liked it very much. He whispered to Teacher Helen, "Teacher Helen, I think you'll definitely be happy in the future."
He was still thinking about Teacher Helen's ex-fiancé's change of heart.
During this period of time, seeing that she was happy again, he was relieved.
Teacher Helen was stunned for a moment and nodded vigorously. "Yes, I think so too. When I get married in the future, if you're free, can you be my little flower boy?"
Rong Ting lowered his head. "I don't think I have time."
He had too many things to do, and he had to leave soon.
Teacher Helen smiled and squatted down to hug him. "It's okay. I've received your blessings. Thank you. "
Song Yuan had been worried that her son would be alone for the rest of his life. What she didn't expect was that a few little girls in the class liked him very much!
The little girl who often sat behind Rong Ting was so sad that her eyes turned red when she heard that Rong Ting was going abroad and might never come back.
Rong Ting felt his scalp go numb when he saw her. He remembered the fear of being dragged to talk to this little chatterbox.
"Lance …"
Rong Ting saw that the little girl was about to cry. He was a little flustered and a little scared. He took a step back and didn't know where to put his hands. "You don't have to call me that. I don't like this name very much."
"Lance, I like you so much!"
Without warning, the little girl suddenly went forward and hugged Rong Ting. She was quite strong, and Rong Ting was stunned.
It was bad enough that he was hugged by his mother, grandfather, and Teacher Helen! How could he hug a girl of the same age!
Rong Ting wanted to push her away after he came to his senses. After a while, the little girl took the initiative to let go of Rong Ting. She smiled, and her eyes were bright and clear. "Lance, I like you so, so, so much! When I grow up, I'll go and find you. But you have to be as handsome as you are now. If you become ugly, I won't like you anymore. "
Rong Ting's mouth twitched. He thought to himself, "Your love is quite superficial. I don't care if you don't like me."
He didn't feel burdened and even said coldly, "Then don't come and find me in the future."
"I must!" The little girl became stubborn. "I must!"
"I don't know you even if you find me."
"It's enough that I know you."
Rong Ting was speechless. "I don't want to talk to you anymore."
Rong Ting was also very happy today. He probably knew that he would never see this group of friends again, so this time, he was unprecedentedly invested in it. He ate pizza with them and played Lego with them … It was like he had graduated here. Teacher Helen pasted his picture on the background wall and gave him a color pen. She asked him to write what he wanted to write on the background board. Maybe it would be a special memory when he came back to China a few years later.
Rong Ting held the pen and stood on a small stool. He looked at the background board and thought for a while. Finally, he wrote an English sentence on the board.
mommy，i love you."
