The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 149: An Attempt to Engage in Social Activities

After Nangong Yi's wedding, Lin Ruoxue decided to try to step out of her own world and devote herself to the social activities of the imperial city. She hoped that in this way, she could temporarily forget the pain in her heart and find a new direction in life.

Lin Ruoxue put on a gorgeous dress and exquisite jewelry. She looked impeccable on the outside, but she was in a mess on the inside. She followed Liu Mei to a grand banquet, where celebrities gathered and laughter was heard one after another.

"Ruoxue, look, there are a lot of interesting people and things here." Liu Mei tried to make Lin Ruoxue relax and took her around to introduce them.

Lin Ruoxue forced a smile and responded, "Mei'er, I'll try my best." She tried to blend herself into the lively atmosphere, but her heart could not calm down. Her eyes unconsciously searched for Nangong Yi's figure in the crowd, even though she knew it was futile.

Liu Mei saw through her thoughts and said softly, "Ruoxue, don't think about him anymore. He is not here."

Lin Ruoxue nodded slightly, but the longing in her heart was hard to suppress.

The banquet reached its climax, the crowd in the dance floor danced gracefully, the music was melodious. Lin Ruoxue sat in the corner, looking at everything in front of her, but she felt unprecedented loneliness in her heart. She remembered those nights when she danced with Nangong Yi, those warm and romantic times.

"Ruoxue, why don't you go over and dance?" Liu Mei noticed Lin Ruoxue's abnormality and asked with concern.

Lin Ruoxue shook her head, her voice trembling a little, "Mei'er, I...I don't feel well."

A trace of worry flashed across Liu Mei's eyes, and she said, "Ruoxue, are you thinking about him again? Don't think about it, let's go outside and get some fresh air."

Lin Ruoxue nodded slightly and followed Liu Mei to the garden.

As time went by, Lin Ruoxue participated in more and more social activities, trying to fill the emptiness in her heart in this way. However, every attempt made her feel more tired and painful. She found that she could not forget Nangong Yi and the good times they had.

"Ruoxue, are you really okay?" Liu Mei asked worriedly after a party, looking at Lin Ruoxue's haggard face.

There was a trace of confusion in Lin Ruoxue's eyes, and her voice was choked with sobs, "Mei'er, I don't know, I really don't know. I thought participating in these activities would make me forget him, but I can't do it."

Liu Mei held her hand distressedly and said, "Ruoxue, don't push yourself too hard. It takes time to forget someone."

After a late night party, Lin Ruoxue returned to her room alone. She took off her gorgeous dress and heavy jewelry, and her heart was filled with fatigue. She sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, and her eyes no longer had the brilliance of the past.

"Can I really forget him?" Lin Ruoxue's voice was filled with a hint of despair.

She fell into deep thought. Everything around her seemed to be quiet, except for her thoughts. Her heart was filled with confusion and fear about the future. It was a kind of uneasiness that followed her like a shadow, tightly wrapped around her. She wondered where the future would lead to. This shadow was like a heavy dark cloud, shrouding her heart and lingering. She didn't know if she could get out of this shadow, and if she could find her own happiness as she had once dreamed.

"Can I really do it?" She kept asking herself in her heart, "I used to think that Brother Yi and I would go through life together, but now we have ended up in this situation. Where should I go in the future?" Her eyes revealed deep helplessness, as if she was a lone boat lost in the vast ocean, unable to find the direction.

But she also knew that she couldn't go on like this. She couldn't stay immersed in pain and memories forever, and couldn't let her life be dominated by this failed relationship. "I must bravely face my heart and find a new direction for my life," she said to herself firmly.

"I can't be so weak anymore." She bit her lip and tried to be strong. "I used to be so brave and full of hope. Now, I can't be defeated by this little setback. I want to find my confident self again and pursue my own happiness." A force surged in her heart, which was the desire for the future and the confidence in herself.

"Maybe there will be many difficulties and challenges on the road ahead, but I cannot be afraid. I will take every step bravely to explore the unknown world. I believe that as long as I persevere, I will be able to find my own happiness." There was a gleam in her eyes, which was the expectation and hope for the future.
