Chapter Eight, Goddess Themis.

It seems as if the whole world has become desolate in an instant.

The shop assistant looked extremely helpless. Although Pei Zhiwei felt sorry, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. After laughing, he felt a little emotional. Last year, he heard that a college classmate started collecting red envelopes. Because they used to have a good relationship, he specifically asked him about it. The classmate complained, "You have a father who takes care of you and works in a hospital with good benefits. You don't know what it's like to be in need. Did I study hard for eight years just to collect red envelopes? Doing some business would earn more and be easier." Later, Pei Zhiwei heard from elsewhere that this classmate had just been married for less than two years, and his wife loved to compare herself with others. She went to Hong Kong twice a year to shop for jewelry and brand-name bags. It was difficult to support his extravagant wife on his salary, so he started having those ideas.

Péi Zhīwèi's friend's house interior decoration is really too extravagant, Fuling was not very comfortable to begin with, and then being scared by Péi Zhīwèi like this, she couldn't fall asleep until two or three in the morning, tossing and turning. Péi Zhīwèi tried very hard to fall asleep, but in the end couldn't bear it, so he had to hold her and say, "Is it necessary for you to be so nervous just to get married?"

I, she patted her mouth and breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't drool." Pei Zhimei laughed and lowered her head to admire her high-difficulty moves that clung to him at night. Fu Ling quickly put down her leg and looked up at the ceiling, saying, "It's not related to me, you must have put it there while I was asleep."

Looking back now, was it just because of this that he felt that soul-crushing feeling when he first met Fu Ling?

However, he did not appear in her dreams that night. When she woke up, she found herself turned over, with one leg still hanging on Pei Zhiwei's waist. She was so scared that she raised her head abruptly, only to see Pei Zhiwei frowning heavily and staring at her with a very gloomy expression.

A few days ago, I just watched Leonardo's "Blood Diamond". It was so tragic. Without consumption, there would be no mining. If I buy one less, maybe one less person would die.

Fu Ling nodded.

Péi Zhīwèi shrugged his shoulders: "Director Xie advised me to get married early, as he plans to retire next year. You know, in our organization, if you're not married, the leaders always feel like you haven't settled down and they worry."

This situation is really not very pleasing, but Fuling is not extremely sad either. Before going to bed, he added that he would never marry a woman who has no interest at all, and then hesitated as if it was a bit embarrassing to say what he liked at this moment.

What does this have to do with you?

Pei Zhimei knew that Fuling was joking, so she also smiled and said, "Okay, just boiling two heads of Chinese cabbage for you every day is enough."

With a "puff" sound, Fuling burst out laughing: "You just destroyed all the romantic atmosphere that the night view had created with that sentence. You sound like a veteran in love affairs from a novel or TV drama, hahaha."

In the evening, when she went up to the observation deck, Fuling finally understood what made this Western-style house so valuable. Looking down at Victoria Harbour from a high point was a completely different feeling from taking the Star Ferry to tour the harbour. When the lights came on in the evening, it was as if the entire Victoria Harbour and the entire sleepless city were sparkling at her feet.

This woman is not moved at all!

Wow! Fu Ling turned over with great strength and completed a sit-up in a posture better than ever before. Then, she passionately kissed Pei Zhiwei on the cheek and said, "Pei Zhiwei, I love you!"

Fuling paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I read them out of boredom during my college years."

What don't you understand?

What do you have to apologize to me for?

Pei Zhimei hummed twice, enjoying the unprecedented sweet words from Fuling.

Péi Zhīwèi shrugged: "I read books, I am cultured."

Okay, Dr. Pei is cultured. Why does the goddess of justice cover her eyes? Since she stands here, if she closes her eyes, wouldn't she be unable to see the truth of the matter? Then how can she make a judgment?

While saying this, Pei Zhiwei thought of Director Xie's advice to him to get married and settle down. Suddenly, he felt that getting married didn't seem like such a bad thing after all.

Péi Zhīwèi was taken aback, and the shop assistant's expression showed a hint of embarrassment. He quickly explained, "All the diamond jewelry sold in our store comes with Kimberley Process certificates and is obtained through legitimate channels. Please rest assured."

As Fu Ling was about to change her expression, Pei Zhiwei quickly changed the topic and asked, "Have any TV drama protagonists confessed their love here?" After saying that, he asked and answered himself, "But it would be too strange to confess love in a place like this."

Fuling is so angry that her teeth itch. She has been watching Hong Kong dramas for many years and only knows that this is a goddess of justice. She has never understood why she is blindfolded. Unexpectedly, Pei Zhiwei can explain it so well. She pouted and asked incredulously, "How do you know about this?"

On the last day of the trip, the itinerary was still shopping. Pei Zhiwei heard that jewelry in Hong Kong was inexpensive, so she decided to buy the wedding ring here. After visiting several jewelry stores on Nathan Road and not finding a suitable one, she went to Tiffany and tried several diamond rings, which made Fuling look worried. Pei Zhiwei knew that Fuling was afraid of spending money and said with a smile, "I can still afford the wedding ring."

That record has been listened to so many times that it often encounters various infuriating incidents in the hospital. Unable to sleep at night, he uses that record to hypnotize himself.

How can Fu Lingxin not think about it? Marriage is a lifelong commitment! Although she feels that the possibility of finding an ideal partner is very slim, Pei Zhiwei's conditions are indeed good, but that doesn't mean she should just...! The key is that Pei Zhiwei's attitude is too careless!

The next afternoon, Mr. Luo sent someone to pick them up. Not long after they went up the mountain, there was no sound, the green shade was lush, and suddenly the hustle and bustle of the city from a few days ago disappeared in an instant, replaced by the fresh air in the mountains.

"No," explained Fuling hurriedly, "we are choosing something else, without diamonds."

Occasionally seen while reading, because I feel that... Courts and hospitals are somewhat similar, so I remembered it.

Fu Ling chuckled and said, "That diamond ring is indeed very beautiful. I want to take a closer look!"

Fuling nodded vigorously.

Pei Zhimei's face sank: "I'm not going."

Why?

Where are we going tomorrow?

Tomorrow we will go to a less crowded place on Tai Ping Mountain. Pei Zhiwei showed a casual attitude and said, "I have a friend who lives there. I just called him and he invited us to visit."

Fuling buried his head and whispered to Pei Zhimei: "The final subtitles in the movie say that 15% still comes from illegal mining, and even if you buy it, you can't eat it, and not buying it won't make you lose weight."

You have been performing too well these days, which makes me feel a little guilty.

Pei Zhimei unconsciously asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Pei Zhimei had an idea as soon as she thought about it. At night, after Fuleng finished taking a shower, she lay on the bed waiting for her hair to air dry naturally. Pei Zhimei didn't know why Fuleng had this habit, so she helped her wrap her head with a towel. Fuleng hummed a tune and enjoyed Pei Zhimei's service with pride.

Can we not buy a diamond ring?

That sentence probably hit Fu Ling's funny bone. She laughed from beginning to end, laughing so much that even her voice changed. In the end, she collapsed on the stone table, gasping for breath, without any movement for a long time.

Why?

Fu Ling leaned against the railing, gazing foolishly at the flickering lights below her feet. Pei Zhiwei sat across from her, separated by a small stone table with a vase of flowers that conveniently concealed Fu Ling's expression.

Why don't you marry that gynecologist?

He made an effort to adjust the atmosphere and asked, "What movies have been filmed at the place we are heading to now?"

The dimple's shallow smile, can you know its mystery? Loneliness deeply locks the hidden swaying, soul dissipates, body drifting, troubled, how to cross the blue bridge together. The dimple lightly shines, reflecting the charm of flowers and moon...

Her eyes were filled with stars as if she was desperately trying to show her admiration: "Today, I finally discovered that you also have merits!"

Is there?

Tai Mingming also mentioned that he should try to take care of Fu Ling's emotions as much as possible, especially recently, there should be no emotional fluctuations in their relationship.

Pei Zhimei really doesn't like playing this kind of question and answer game with women. He sighed helplessly and said, "Why don't you take this as a manifestation of your personal charm?"

The court can only make judgments based on evidence and legal provisions. It is necessary to improve the laws and regulations, rather than relying on the constant vigilance of the goddess of justice to see everything with wide-open eyes. Similarly, doctors should not make moral judgments about patients or determine whether they deserve treatment based on their conduct, wealth, social status, and so on. Pei Zhiwei stood with his hands in his pockets, seeing Fu Ling's face full of reverence. Seeing Fu Ling's face full of reverence.

With a sneer from Fu Ling, Yuan Feng told a joke about Pei Zhiwei's narcissism. It is said that when Pei Zhiwei went to buy watermelons in the summer, he never let the vendor pick one for him. He always had to weigh the watermelon himself, pretending to diagnose it like a patient in a hospital. He claimed that "doctors who can't pick watermelons are not good doctors." The strange thing is that he has never bought an unripe one.

Fuling hesitated for a moment, as if unable to believe it, and asked in disbelief, "Just because of... this reason, you decided to get married?"

In those imagined futures, Hong Kong is a distant city. Now, when she finds herself in this city, she realizes that any space can be crossed.

"Doesn't your godmother also worry about you?" Pei Zhiwei said casually, "And your two classmates, you're afraid they'll worry too, so you keep everything to yourself and don't dare to speak up. Actually, it doesn't matter if you say it out loud. Anyway, we've already made everything clear, so it doesn't matter what we say."

Pei held her hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, you can say whatever you remember, I won't mind."

After leaving the store, we walked half a mile when Fu Ling suddenly asked, "What did I say about blood diamonds in the other store just now? Would the salesperson want to beat me up?"

Pei Zhimei's response was: "Why don't we get married?"

After saying this sentence, she fell silent and walked along the road for a long time without speaking again. It was Pei Zhiwei who asked first: "Did you watch it with him?"

After a long while, Fuling finally came to his senses and chuckled, "I just thought of something... something that might have been a bit unfair to you."

Fuling exclaimed, "How would you know if you don't watch TV dramas?"

Pei Zhimei couldn't help but laugh, but then felt embarrassed. He was quite curious about what kind of person Fu Ling's ex-boyfriend was, and couldn't help but persuade himself in his heart to remember the good times, but it was only because they were already memories.

That was the person she thought would be the most important in her future life, but at that time, they didn't think there was anything special. The heavens did not suddenly strike her, on the contrary, they gave her enough time to buffer. However, when that day truly arrived, she still wasn't mentally prepared. The sun rose and set, the city was still congested with traffic, and the whole world seemed unchanged, except that she had lost him.

It's just a pity that the decision to get married seems more like a shock than a comfort to the woman in front of me.

Can you find a suitable candidate for marriage in your current state? Even if you manage to find one, either you will be unwilling, or the other person will be reluctant, or both of you will be unwilling to compromise and settle. Sooner or later, problems will arise, why bother causing trouble for society? Your parents and your godmother will be even more worried and feel guilty for pushing you into a dangerous situation.

I have already broken up with her.

Well, well, your supervisor must have been urging you to get married more than once or twice. I remember you used to not take marriage seriously at all, and even feared that I wanted to tie you down. So why the sudden change now?

Fuleng climbed up very obsequiously and said, "Don't stop me, this is the only chance in my life to visit the legendary mountaintop mansion!"

Pei Zhiwei and I getting married doesn't seem to be a bad thing. Fuling feels that she should also have some feelings for Pei Zhiwei, otherwise why would she have never rejected him? The first time can still be attributed to being drunk, but afterwards, there is no reason to refuse him. Moreover, after that conversation, the two of them got along much better. Besides, Pei Zhiwei is a doctor and takes good care of his health, so he shouldn't be as short-lived as Ye Yang.

She can't believe, is Pei's attitude towards marriage so casual?

Pei Zhimei smiled and glanced sideways at the bustling city lights beneath her feet. Then she heard Fu Ling laugh and say, "Besides, if you're too good to me, I won't be used to it in the future."

Okay, let's do it!

Madness, is this how the term is used? Pei Zhiwei's face froze - it's evident that both novels and TV dramas are deceiving people.

Péi Zhīwèi has no understanding of this old Cantonese song, except for this one, which he can almost sing along to. He came to Hong Kong for surgery, where he met a businessman surnamed Luo whose son had passed away, leaving behind a grandson with severe pulmonary valve stenosis. Mr. Luo personally came to pick him up for the surgery and happened to hear this song, which deeply moved him. When asked about the song, Mr. Luo was also taken aback: "It's an old song from decades ago, popular when my wife and I were in love."

Fuling furrowed her brows slightly: "I want to go to the Peak of Tai Ping and overlook Victoria Harbour, but I heard that there are a lot of people and I have to take a cable car to get there. I'm a little afraid of heights, so I'm thinking about resting well and going later."

The shop assistant at Fuling Wangwang hesitated to speak, Pei Zhiwei had to ask the assistant to bring out a relatively cheaper option. Fuling still shook her head. Pei Zhiwei asked, "What style do you really like?"

No, I just don't want to buy one with diamonds.

"That, that..." Fu Ling still looked blankly, "What does this have to do with marriage?"

Fuling pouted and said, "You haven't watched that movie. Go back and watch it again for me! It's very tragic in the movie. In the end, Leonardo dies. The black man takes a 100-carat diamond to London, hoping to use it to save his family. Before the transaction, he sees many diamond jewelry in the window of a jewelry store on the street. Think about it, so many people died for these diamonds, but the first group of miners who extracted them will never have the chance to wear these jewelry in their lifetime!"

Uh... Fuling couldn't think of it for a while. After checking the strategy, she smiled awkwardly and said, "You're right. Look at this cylindrical structure here. This is a classic place for brushing past each other! In the drama "The First Court", Tao Dayu and his ex-girlfriend broke up here. And in "The Wandering Physician", Leung Wing Kei made a cameo and had a car accident on that road over there. Hmm, it doesn't seem like a good place."

Fuling suddenly opened his eyes and said fiercely, "People like you shouldn't eat. Just drink two bottles of glucose every day to sustain life!"
