Chapter 939: Chapter 559: Departure
"One, two, one! One, two, one! One, two, three, four! ..."
"One, two, one! One, two, one! One, two, three, four! ..."
"..."
At the West Playground, the cadets of Team Five were having their routine morning class. Hang Menglin and Feng Tianzhi stood at the edge of the field, occasionally shouting along.
Feng Tianzhi glanced at Hang Menglin, "You’re really leaving, huh? Are you reluctant?"
Hang Menglin’s eyes showed reluctance, "From resistance to acceptance, from opposition to compliance, step by step to where we are today. To say there are no feelings would be a lie..."
Feng Tianzhi interrupted her, "Including Luo Ye?"
"Including Luo Ye!" Hang Menglin nodded affirmatively, "And definitely including her. It’s she who has changed me the most. Honestly, by now, I really admire her and hope her future is a bit smoother!"
"You’re worried for her? You’ve really changed a lot," Feng Tianzhi remarked seriously.
"Not exactly worried, but given her abilities, there will be no shortage of people setting obstacles for her." Hang Menglin extended her hand, "When Captain Feng first arrived, I also set quite a few obstacles. Today, I sincerely apologize!"
"Why so polite all of a sudden?" Feng Tianzhi looked at her amusedly, "Coach Hang, honestly, you’re more likable now and finally showing a bit of femininity."
Hang Menglin rolled her eyes at him, "Get lost! Just when I complimented you, you show your true colors. I understand now, there’s no treating you nicely."
"Has the family hurdle been overcome?" Feng Tianzhi changed the topic.
"After I was seriously injured, the Hang Family never bothered me again. Now, no one has the right to interfere with my decisions!" Hang Menglin’s expression showed a trace of sadness, "To outsiders, being born in such a big family seems very happy.
But only those of us who are inside know that family love and care is just a luxury for us!"
"The old you seemed to care only about family honor," Feng Tianzhi glanced at her, "Looks like love really does change people."
"What’s this got to do with love? It’s simply because I’ve aged, and my focus has shifted. When you reach my age, you’ll understand my feelings." Hang Menglin paused, then added, "Of course, maybe men and women think differently."
"Most people live their entire lives without understanding it," Feng Tianzhi thought aloud, "Let’s have a farewell dinner for you tonight at the school cafeteria, okay?"
Hang Menglin waved her hand, "My reputation isn’t that great, so maybe we should skip it."
"Maybe in the past, your reputation wasn’t great, but it’s different now," Feng Tianzhi decided, "It’s settled."
"You madman!" Hang Menglin laughed and teased, not refuting any further.
"Hiss..." Feng Tianzhi gasped, "Coach Hang, you’ve changed so much, having such a feminine expression on your face? The power of love is indeed immeasurable."
Hang Menglin glared at him, "I already said it’s not about love, and don’t blame me if I don’t give you face in front of the cadets!"
"Stop denying it. Even a fool could see what’s going on with you now." Feng Tianzhi said, shifting his gaze to Luo Ye, sighing lightly, "When can I have a response from that girl and be content?"
Hang Menglin followed his gaze thoughtfully, "I don’t want to discourage you, but the fact is that the possibility is nearly zero. Ye Xuan’s excellence is there, Luo Ye’s personality is there, with these two premises, stop dreaming.
Feng Tianzhi, you advised me once that it’s too painful to love someone unrequitedly. Since you know this, why stick to a path bound for darkness?
The key is, you and I are different. I’m a thirty-year-old woman, who, in the eyes of elders, lacks remaining value. If I focus on the political path, they might happily stop interfering with me.
But what about you? As the eldest grandson of the Feng family, how long will the elders give you? If they force you to marry, what will you do?
Can you truly ignore the elders’ health and press forward on your own terms? Yes, people call you a madman, but I think your so-called madness is better described as true temperament.
However, your true temperament often makes it hard to distinguish right from wrong, which is why your reputation suffers, yet no one considers that if you truly disregarded everything, how would you achieve what you have today?
I advise you, if you don’t want a miserable future for everyone, let go of those improper thoughts and perhaps one day you’ll meet the girl who truly moves you and who you can be with." With a light sigh, Hang Menglin continued, "Do you think I’m happy because the other side reciprocated? Ha... As if!"
Feng Tianzhi was speechless, "Got it, you’re just thrilled to be close to him soon? You’re too easily satisfied, aren’t you?"
Hang Menglin’s eyes sparkled, "When I filed the transfer report, I already decided never to marry. Just watching over him from afar, helping him at critical times will be enough. Feng Tianzhi, as I said, you are different from me, think it through."
Feng Tianzhi felt speechless, "You advise me so clearly, yet you’re clueless about yourself. You’re only thirty, why have you decided never to marry? Han Xue is even older than you and can actively pursue her happiness; why can’t you? Aren’t you Hang Menglin, who never bows to anyone?"
Hang Menglin smiled bitterly, "I’m different from her. She’s a scholar, Yu Wenze is older. I’m a martial artist and several years older than Qi Bin. It’s not comparable."
"Forget it, neither of us should advise the other," Feng Tianzhi shook his head, "Just take care of yourselves."
"Anyway, I should thank you." Hang Menglin looked at him gratefully, "For you to tell me so much shows you truly consider me a friend."
Feng Tianzhi shook his head with a wry smile, "You say, we didn’t get along well before, but now that you’re leaving, we’re friends? This is, sigh!"
As Hang Menglin and Feng Tianzhi talked, the morning class ended. After the formation settled, Xing Nong whispered to Luo Ye’s ear, "Luoluo, do you think Captain Feng and Coach Hang might end up together?"
"What nonsense are you thinking?" Luo Ye rolled her eyes at her, "Which eye did you see that with? Stand properly."
Xing Nong pouted, "They were chatting away while we ran circles. When did they ever get so close before? Something’s definitely up, absolutely something’s up."
"I think you’re the one who’s off." Luo Ye nudged her, "Stand straight! Quickly!"
