Yang Zhen was genuinely surprised by Feng Lingqiao's words. He hadn't expected such a broadmindedness from a delicate looking young woman who was neither beautiful nor had a captivating appearance or aura. He couldn't help but laughingly reply, "Miss, don't think like that... Chatting is indeed valuable, but freedom is even more so. If it involves life, both can be cast aside!"
Yang Zhen feigned serious consideration before he said solemnly, "In our village, there is a saying that I think is very good."
"What's the saying?" asked a bewildered Feng Lingqiao.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said significantly, "It is better to live a terrible life than to die a good death!"
"To live a terrible life than to die a good death?" Feng Lingqiao looked deeply into Yang Zhen's eyes before nodding and saying, "You are right, but we don't all have control over our lives. Sometimes, when we have to do something, we put life aside."
"Nonsense!"
