Chapter 9: Determination 2

After Yi Tian left, Aunt Zhang and Dad also supported each other and left. Before leaving, Dad looked at me, his eyes full of disappointment.
It was like a knife, cutting me into pieces.
I was about to leave, but I stood at the door of the police station, looking around, not knowing which direction to go, and not knowing who to talk to about the depression in my heart.
I squatted beside a stone pillar by the roadside and trembled as I called Lin Chujian. When I heard his voice, tears welled up in my eyes. I said, "Lin Chujian, I'm in so much pain. Can you come and save me? Just this once, just once."
I knew I was overstepping my authority again, towards someone who was already engaged.
But I really don’t know who else can save me at this moment, except him.
When Lin Chujian found me, I was sitting on the steps outside the police station counting pedestrians. When I counted to the 781st, I saw him coming against the light.
I looked up at him, not knowing what to say.
We were very close to each other. I was looking at his face, his eyes, and for some reason I remembered the tense look on our faces when we first met . I remembered how we were blushing and questioning each other's opinions on the stage, almost wanting to fight, and then we smiled at each other off the stage, it was a time when heroes appreciated each other.
The beautiful past is always no match for the cruel present. There are too many things standing between us.
He reached out his hand and pulled me up, and the touch of his fingertips made my heart palpitate a little.
I dusted myself off, trying not to cry, and said, "Thank you for coming."
He must think I'm a weirdo. I was the one crying on the phone just now, and now I'm the one forcing myself to smile and pretend that I don't need him.
Maybe he has already gotten used to it. After all, when we were in love, I was also such a capricious and petty person.
“Cry if you want to!” Lin Chujian came forward and hugged me with some sadness, “Li Ge, you make me very sad.”
"You know everything, right?" I gently pushed him away. After the call, my mind became much clearer. This person is not mine anymore. He is Xu Yaxin's fiancé.
There shouldn't have been so much involvement between us. I went too far.
"Many friends know that Li Qiuyang has been arrested. I know you must be sad, Li Ge, cry!" He looked at me tenderly and affectionately .
"Really? Bad news travels far and wide, right? Is everyone laughing at me?" I sneered, and as I laughed, tears started to flow.
"Everyone knows, everyone is laughing at me?" I suddenly thought of Yi Tian. Everyone knows, and she is such a face-conscious person, could it be... She just got discharged from the hospital.
"No, I want to go and accompany Yi Tian!"
"Li Ge, calm down!" Lin Chujian hugged me and held me captive. "Li Ge, you have shouldered too much. We all know that Yi Tian is not as fragile as you think."
"But...she..."
"She's fine. She called me before you called me. She asked me to come and accompany you." He took my hand and asked, "Li Ge, would you like to hear a story from me?"
I nodded.
Lin Chujian dragged me through the busy streets and finally stopped at an ice cream shop. On a cold winter day, two idiots sat in the air-conditioned shop eating ice cream, his was strawberry flavor and mine was chocolate flavor.
Actually, these two flavors are my favorites, and I can't eat two, so I can only have one each, so I can eat both without wasting them. I seem to have never asked Lin Chujian if he likes this flavor or if he wants to try other flavors.
His story begins many years ago, and can be started with "A long, long time ago".
The story begins in a very melodramatic way. A married man met an unmarried woman when his wife was pregnant, and then cheated on her. Of course, the woman didn't know the man had a family. She naively thought she had met a good man, a man who was gentle and considerate to her, but who often worked overtime and went on business trips. She thought that all these separations were for their future, and even if she was lonely, she could get through it sweetly.
The man promised her a future and many wonderful things.
She naively thought that as long as she married a man, she would be the happiest woman in the world. She urged him once, twice, three times...but he always refused to talk about marrying her. Later, when he was forced into a corner, he admitted that he had a family and children.
The woman finally understood why the man was so busy and always on business trips. She also finally understood that the milky scent on him was not because his colleagues at the company changed their perfume or his secretary became a mother, but because he became a father.
The woman cried, made a fuss, and even thought about committing suicide, but just when she decided to leave the man, she found out that she was pregnant.
There are many things in this story that the woman doesn't know. For example, as early as the first year she was with the man, the man's wife discovered her existence. Because it was a family marriage, under the oppression of her parents, the wife could not cry or make a fuss, and could only behave herself and be a virtuous wife who pretended to know nothing. But which woman can tolerate her man having a mistress outside?
This story seems familiar.
I looked at Lin Chujian and asked, "What happened next?"
later?
When he said these two words, I clearly saw his disdain and sneer. The following story also made me understand that this sneer was directed at the man he had called dad for more than 20 years.
In fact, not long after my wife gave birth to the child, she died due to postpartum depression and difficult labor.
After knowing all this, the woman thought about walking away, but every time she touched her growing belly, she couldn't make up her mind. She didn't want her child to be born without a father. But she didn't think that some fathers are better off without one.
Later, the man married the woman and brought the woman and the child back home. The woman was naive again, she thought this was happiness, but she didn't know that her identity as a mistress would never be recognized.
She was bullied by her husband's family, and after her parents-in-law passed away, her husband treated her badly. In that luxurious home, she could not feel any happiness, and the only warmth was from her son.
More than ten years later, the son grew up and met a very lovely girl. He loved her very much and wanted to treat her well all his life and never let her feel sad.
The father was furious when he knew about this. He had two sons, one of whom was out of his control, and he would not allow the younger son to be out of his control as well. He pervertedly used women to control his son, forcing him to give up the lovely girl and be with a girl who he did not love but had a family business.
The son wanted to object and wanted to have his own world like his brother, but every time he saw his mother in tears, he softened.
Although the boy and his brother did not get along, he also learned one thing from his brother: only if you are strong enough can you provide a support for the people you love and make them happy and worry-free.
For his mother, he obeyed his father, fell in love with the girl assigned by his father, got engaged, and then secretly accumulated resources and became stronger. He thought that he would soon have enough power to get his mother away from that home, and let the girl he loved return to him and live happily forever.
But he found out that he was wrong. He accepted all of his father's arrangements in order to accumulate resources and become stronger, but in the process, he broke the girl's heart.
Every time he saw a girl sad, he felt miserable. But all the sadness was caused by himself.
He regretted it. He didn't want to become strong in this way. He wanted to ask the girl, "Is it too late to get her back now?"
Can you make it?
A soft question gave me infinite shock.
His tender eyes looked at me, melting the ice in my heart that had been there for a long time. His gentleness finally made me feel warm.
He told me a story, and I never imagined that he had such deep wounds and pain behind him.
He loves me, there is no doubt about that.
I finally understood why he was always so distant towards me in the past.
But...between us...
"Xu Yaxin is pregnant. There is no way we can avoid it." I really want to accept him, but we know how much pain a mistress can bring to a family. I don't want to be the mistress who destroys other people's families.
"Li Ge, that's all fake. Nothing happened between Xu Yaxin and I except that we used each other." He grabbed my hand and asked, "So, are you willing to accept me again?"
I nodded.
After discussion, we decided to drive to Xu Yaxin to talk it out.
Along the way, we held each other's hands, and it felt as sweet as when we first fell in love.
The happiest thing in the world is that the person you love also loves you deeply.
If it hadn’t been for that accident, Lin Chujian and I’s lives might have been different.
But the accident still happened.
At a turn, a car lost control and sped towards us. Lin Chujian tried hard to steer the wheel, wanting to take me away, but the car on the opposite side was going too fast and there was no way to avoid it.
When I woke up, I was in the hospital. My head was wrapped in thick gauze, and my whole body felt like it was falling apart. I was grimacing in pain. I turned around and saw Yi Tian, ​​her eyes were swollen from crying. When she saw that I was awake, she rushed out of the ward and shouted, "Doctor! Doctor! Li Ge is awake! Awake!"
Looking at her, I felt very uncomfortable. I wanted to say something to her, but my throat felt like it was on fire and it hurt so much that I couldn't speak.
I tried to find other people, but besides Yi Tian, ​​there was only my mother. She rushed to me, sobbing, and I felt her body rising and falling. I felt so uncomfortable that I didn't even have the strength to raise my hand to comfort her.
I thought I must have been unconscious for a long time, and she must have taken the earliest flight back home as soon as she heard the news. It's impossible not to be moved, but I was still thinking about another thing.
Lin first met.
Thinking of him, I felt a little breathless. I was already in so much pain sitting in the passenger seat, so what about him who was driving the car?
"Li Ge, are you okay, Li Ge... Doctor! Doctor!" Mom and Yi Tian shouted loudly and forgot to press the emergency bell.
After the doctor came, he examined me and finally concluded that I had passed the critical period and left.
After the bustle, only loneliness remained. Friends and relatives came to visit other people's bedsides one after another, but it was so desolate around me that it seemed as if dead leaves were falling.
After her mother went out to get some water, Yi Tian was the only one left in the ward.
She said, "Your father actually came here once, but..."
There are some things that I understand without having to say them. It was just that Li Qiuyang or Aunt Zhang had something to do, so he came over symbolically, maybe gave some money, and then left in a hurry.
I can think of it, absolutely. I can even imagine the guilty expression on his face when he left, the anger on my mother's face, and the contempt on Yi Tian's face.
In my father's heart, I can never compare to Li Qiuyang and his mother.
My throat was so sore that it was about to explode, but I still held on to Yi Tian and kept asking, "Where's Lin Chujian? Where's Lin Chujian?"
Yi Tian suddenly fell silent. Looking at her expression, I seemed to understand something. My heart fell from a height and almost broke into pieces.
I grabbed Yi Tian and asked, "Tell me, what happened? Is his injury less serious than mine? Has he come to see me? Help me up, I'll go tell him that I can still marry him alive and well."
As I was talking, tears started to flow.
My mother just came in to get some water. My crying scared her so much that she almost spilled the hot water in her hand. She put down the thermos and asked worriedly, "What happened? What happened?"
"Mom, tell me what happened to Lin Chujian? Tell me!" I grabbed my mother's arm and asked as if I was grabbing a life-saving straw.
She sighed: "The doctor said that after the accident, Lin Chujian tried his best to protect you. He was seriously injured and is still in the intensive care unit and has not woken up."
Seriously injured! Intensive care unit!
Every word was not a good omen. I struggled to sit up, only to feel dizzy and fall back down.
"Li Ge, don't make Auntie worry!" Yi Tian rarely gets angry with me, but this time she was really angry. "Even if I want to go see him, you have to be able to leave, right? How can Auntie and I feel at ease if you're like this?"
"But I..."
Her tone softened: "The doctor said your injury is not serious and you will be able to get out of bed in two days. I will help you look after Lin Chujian for the next two days. I will report everything to you no matter what happens to him, but you have to promise not to move around, understand?"
I nodded and agreed.
But I still didn't have the patience to wait for two days. After the first day of anxiety, I struggled to get up from the bed on the second day while Yi Tian went out to buy food and my mother answered the phone. With the help of the family of the next bed, I left my ward.
When she left, the family member asked behind her: "Little girl, aren't you going to the toilet? The toilet is behind the door. Where are you going?"
I held onto the wall, ignored the voices behind me, and walked towards the intensive care unit step by step with difficulty.
Outside the glass window, Lin Chujian was lying quietly inside. He was wrapped tightly like a mummy, and I didn't know how many injuries he had suffered. If it weren't for the mist on the oxygen mask that showed he was still breathing, I really thought he would die in his sleep.
I don’t remember everything that happened during the car accident so clearly. The out-of-control car was speeding towards us. Lin Chujian tried desperately to steer the wheel, but was still knocked out and hit the railing on the side.
At the moment the car had the accident, he quickly unbuckled his seat belt and protected me. Before I fainted, I clearly felt his tears falling on my cheeks.
If it wasn't for protecting me, maybe he would just be like me, with minor injuries, and would be back to full health after staying in the hospital for ten days or half a month.
Seeing Lin Chujian like this, I felt very uncomfortable. I wanted to move to change my posture, but my body started to hurt again. If I was in this state, how painful would Lin Chujian be?
I thought to myself, Lin Chujian, if you wake up, I will agree to all your requests, even if it means making the whole world my enemy.
I don’t know if he can hear me.
Lin Chujian, please wake up, did you hear me?
"Why are you here?" Xu Yaxin's sharp voice appeared.
I turned around and saw her helping a middle-aged woman into the door. As she walked, she said, "Auntie, this is Li Ge who caused Chu Jian's brother to have a car accident. If it weren't for her, Chu Jian's brother wouldn't have driven out and wouldn't have gotten into an accident. Our previous quarrel was also caused by her."
Xu Yaxin is also smart. She didn't accuse me of being a mistress at this time. We all know that the elder next to her has been living with this stigma.
I guess Xu Yaxin has told Mother Lin a lot about my evil . When she looked at me, her eyes were full of disgust and hatred, without any concealment.
"Are you Li Ge?" Mother Lin asked angrily, "Get out, get out right now, I don't need you to look after my son!"
At this moment, I didn't need any self-esteem. I grabbed Mother Lin's hand and begged, tears streaming down my face: "Auntie, I just want to see him, just a look. I just want to see him wake up. As long as he wakes up, I will leave immediately. I will never be a bother to you again."
"Get out! Get out now!" She threw her hands, and I fell heavily to the ground because of my unstable center of gravity. I tried to crawl forward twice, stretched out my arms to pull her sleeves, and begged, "Auntie, I beg you, please let me stay with him, okay? Really, as long as he wakes up, I will leave immediately and won't entangle with him anymore, please."
"It's useless to say anything! You are full of energy and can get out of bed, but my son has not woken up yet because of you. The doctor said it is unknown whether he can wake up. How dare you stand here? Get out! If you don't leave, I will call for help." She shook off my arm again, and I fell to the ground again.
I didn't blame her. I had no right to blame a mother who loved her son so much, and I couldn't blame her.
I didn’t have the strength to stand up again, and I lay there for a while. Yi Tian rushed over , glared at Mother Lin, and helped me up.
She and I are different. She won't tolerate anyone bullying me, not even Lin Chujian's mother. But she knew how I felt, so she just helped me up and asked tentatively, "I bought your favorite porridge. Auntie is back too. Let's go back first, okay?"
"Yitian, can you please ask Lin's mother for help? I just want to accompany Lin Chujian and watch him wake up." I grabbed Yi Tian's sleeve and begged, "Yitian, help me."
"Li Ge, don't get excited. Let's go back first. When you are well and can move freely, we will come to accompany him, okay? If Lin Chujian wakes up and sees you like this, he will be sad, right?" Yi Tian helped me walk out step by step. I turned around and took one last look at Lin Chujian, and tears flowed out again.
None of us noticed that Xu Yaxin, who had arrived at the door of the intensive care unit with Xu's mother, had disappeared.
In the stairwell at the corner, I saw Xu Yaxin.
The scene in front of us shocked both Yi Tian and I. She looked at me in amazement, her mouth wide open enough for an egg to fit in.
Xu Yaxin and Lin Chuyu were kissing? They were kissing passionately, there was no forced relationship.
I was stunned for a long time before I realized that this was not right. Very wrong. With the two of them like this, what about Lin Chujian?
Thinking of Lin Chujian, I became furious and asked sternly, "Are you two going to give me an explanation?"
These two people, one is Lin Chujian’s fiancée, and the other is his biological brother.
One is the third party in my relationship, and the other is someone who once confessed his love to me. They seem to have nothing to do with each other, but now they are together in the hospital.
How deep must the love be to make these two people do this.
"Li Ge, I have something to do, please wait for me." Yi Tian whispered to me and hurried away.
Xu Yaxin looked at me angrily, the blush on her face had not faded, and her lips were still swollen, with traces of the kiss. But Lin Chuyu was very calm, he walked up to me step by step, helped me sit down on the steps, and asked with concern: "You have been standing for so long, are you tired?"
Is this the same person who just kissed Xu Yaxin? How could he be so gentle to me after doing that?
I suddenly thought of the question Zhou Yao had asked me when we broke up. How much do I know about the Lin brothers and Xu Yaxin? All my self-righteous understanding had been shattered by their deep kiss.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" I looked at Lin Chuyu and decided to take the initiative.
"Li Ge, you are a very smart girl. You have already felt that something is wrong, but you have never found out the reason. Are you afraid of hurting yourself or Lin Chujian?" He still smiled, "You are just like what I told you when you were still working for me. You are too emotional and can't be completely cruel. I am different from you. For myself, I can give up everything, including you who I like." Lin Chuyu did not answer my question directly, but went into another topic. His eyes were deep, like a bottomless pool, mysterious and unpredictable.
Only then did I realize that I was incredibly immature in front of the shrewd Lin Chuyu.
"Lin Chuyu! Didn't you say that you and Li Ge were just playing around? Didn't you say that I was the only person you liked? What do you mean by what you said now? I've done so much for you, and now you say that you like Li Ge! I need you to give me an explanation!" Xu Yaxin grabbed Lin Chuyu and shook him like crazy, "Who do you like? Tell me!"
Facing such accusations, Lin Chuyu simply took her hand away from him and said lightly: "Of course it's Li Ge. How could I possibly like you? Don't you know how hideous you look now? From the beginning to the end, you were just a pawn I used to hurt Lin Chujian."
"Chess piece? Chess piece? I'm just one of your chess pieces?" Xu Ya's heart swayed twice as if all her body was drained out, and finally hit the wall by the window, tears rolling down her cheeks, extremely sad, "If that's the case, why don't you use me longer? Why are you telling me all this at this time."
"Because you have lost your usefulness!" Lin Chuyu said calmly without any emotion.
I have seen many expressions of Xu Yaxin, proud, flamboyant, arrogant... but I have never seen such sadness on her face. I have only seen such an expression on Lu Yan's face.
It turns out that the person she loved deeply was Lin Chuyu all along?
Since it’s Lin Chuyu, why does she want to be with Lin Chujian?
I feel like my brain is not enough. Yes, I once suspected that there was something wrong between Xu Yaxin and Lin Chuyu, but I never thought of this possibility.
Looking at the smile on Lin Chuyu's face, I suddenly felt a little sympathy for Xu Yaxin.
"Chess piece, the chess piece that brings pain to Lin Chujian?" The story that Lin Chujian once told me came to my mind and gradually made my mind clear.
"See, I told you you're a smart guy." Lin Chuyu's smile made me feel sick, but he didn't care. "Yes, I took advantage of Xu Yaxin. I took advantage of her love for me to get close to Lin Chujian, and then bullied you and destroyed the relationship between you and Lin Chujian. He's such a soft-hearted person. If you're upset, he must be even more upset. Xu Yaxin is a very talented girl, and she did a great job that satisfied me." Lin Chuyu was a little disappointed. "But she's too ambitious. She always fantasizes that I will marry her. How is that possible? How could I marry such a dangerous woman by my side? I just want to make everyone Lin Chujian cares about suffer! And she is an obedient and useful chess piece. As long as I summon her, she will be unreasonably obedient."
"So, you have never thought of keeping me by your side... My love for you for more than ten years is so insignificant in your eyes? Lin Chuyu, you are cruel, you are so cruel! I will make you regret it! I will!" Xu Yaxin screamed and left. At the corner, where her figure disappeared, I saw Mother Lin and Yi Tian who winked at me.
It turned out that she was going to bring Lin's mother over to witness all this, so that I could stay by Lin Chujian's side and wait for her.
I looked at Yi Tian with gratitude and greeted her bright smile.
"Let's go. I'll take you back to the ward." Lin Chuyu also noticed the presence of Lin's mother. He helped me up without a care in the world and walked towards the ward step by step, leaving Yi Tian shouting on the side.
They all knew about my injuries, so there was no way they could fight for it and they could only shout and scream.
In the ward, there was a bouquet of white roses on my bedside table.
After lying on the bed, I asked my mother and Yi Tian to go out first. I wanted to talk to Lin Chuyu alone. I had too many questions in my mind.
Mom and Yi Tian exchanged worried glances and stepped out.
The door was closed and the curtain drawn.
Lin Chuyu sat beside my bed and looked at me, asking out of the blue, "Do you know the language of white roses?"
I shook my head.
"Innocent and pure, just like you in my heart." Lin Chuyu looked at me with unprecedented affection, "Li Ge, I really liked you. I even thought, if you hadn't rejected me, would I not have gone further and further away, and finally couldn't turn back?"
"You still have something to say to me, right?" I sighed softly. I had thought about the same question before, but I knew better that it was impossible.
The only one I love is Lin Chujian.
"What do you want to know?" he asked.
I looked at Lin Chuyu's unfamiliar face and asked, "You took off all your disguises today. Do you want to tell me everything?"
He nodded: "Li Ge, I actually always thought you would be the one who understands me the best. Our experiences are so similar. Our fathers cheated on us, and our originally happy families were destroyed by mistresses. We are in the same boat, aren't we?"
"I'm different from you. I won't take advantage of or hurt others just because I'm miserable." I replied disdainfully, "I want to know, apart from what happened with Xu Yaxin, how many other things have you done to make me and Lin Chujian sad?"
"How many other bad things have you done?" He pondered, "Maybe taking advantage of Zhou Yao counts as one of them?"
"Zhou Yao?" I widened my eyes again.
He said, "When you and Zhou Yao entered the company, I knew that Zhou Yao was not a good girl, so I took advantage of her and planned step by step to push her to the opposite side of you. Do you know? When I saw Lin Chujian getting drunk because of your pain, I was so happy. Later, Zhou Yao asked me to help find someone to teach Li Qiuyang a lesson, and I agreed without hesitation. At that time, Lin Chujian had already helped Li Qiuyang wipe his ass several times, so of course I didn't mind asking him to wipe it again! In fact, what Zhou Yao said at that time was just to let me find someone to beat Li Qiuyang up. I was the one who ordered Yi Tian to be bullied."
"You always say you like me, but have you ever thought that it might be me who got into trouble that night?" The truth was laid out so starkly in front of me, and I still couldn't believe that a person could be so bad.
But this bad guy was sitting in front of me with a smile on his face.
"I've thought about it, but it doesn't matter. Because no matter whether it's you or Yi Tian, ​​as long as you can make Lin Chujian uncomfortable, it's enough."
I don't deny that he liked me, but in the end, between love and hate, he chose hate.
"You did all this just because his mother was a mistress? Did she destroy your family?"
"Mistress? Li Ge, do you know? Because of his mother's existence, my mother died, why shouldn't I hate them, how could I not hate them!" He looked down at me again, his eyes full of sadness, "During the whole process, there was only one accident, that is, I really fell in love with you."
"But in order to hurt Lin Chujian, you even hurt me, the one you liked. Lin Chuyu, don't you think your love is too cheap?"
"Maybe. But it doesn't matter anymore. Lin Chujian is lying half dead now, and you are living in agony. My goal has been achieved." He looked at me with an extremely perverted affection. "Li Ge, if possible, I still hope you can come to my side."
"Get out!" I threw the flowers in my hand at him.
He caught the flower I threw and put it back on the bedside table, then stood up and walked out the door. After a few steps, he stopped and said to me: "Li Ge, you have to believe me, I really like you. Even to this day, I still hope that we can be together. I hope you can give me a chance."
"Get out!" I can't say anything else to someone like him.
This was the last time I saw Lin Chuyu. The story about him happened on the third day after he left the hospital.
After leaving the hospital , Xu Yaxin chose revenge after being sad. Just as she said when she left, she must make Lin Chuyu regret it.
Xu Yaxin exposed some of the dirty deals that Lin Chuyu did during his work and the bribes he accepted, which also included some dirty deeds involving Zhou Yao and the man who supported him.
For a while, there were many different opinions in the media, and Lin Chuyu was also taken away by the police, and it was said that he would be sentenced to several years in prison.
For a proud person, going to jail is more torment than killing him.
People always have to pay the price for their wrong things, Zhou Yao and Lin Chuyu too.
What about Lin Chujian? What did he do wrong to deserve such treatment? And to us?
Mother Lin, who heard the conversation between Lin Chuyu and Xu Yaxin that day , collapsed after returning home. The doctor said it was a stroke. I went down to see her with the help of Yi Tian. She held my hand and said vaguely: "Li Ge, help me take good care of Chu Jian."
Next to the bed stood Mr. Lin with a serious expression. The last time I saw him, he was still energetic, but this time he looked much more decadent. The way he was trying hard not to fall down even made me forget all the wrong things he had done.
"Okay, the doctor tells you not to talk , so let her go and accompany Chu Jian. You should have a good rest." said Lin's father.
"well……"
Perhaps only at times like this will we realize how precious the people around us are!
Every day I sat by Lin Chujian's bed waiting for him to wake up. He had been transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward. He breathed like a normal person every day, but he never opened his eyes.
I started talking to him, telling him everything that had happened around me during this period.
I told him that Li Qiuyang's case was about to go to trial, and Yi Tian was busy like a top every day, running around non-stop. The man who supported Zhou Yao was implicated in Lin Chuyu's case and was also imprisoned. The lawyer he hired quit because he couldn't get the lawyer's fee. Yi Tian said that the lawyer we found said that Li Qiuyang would most likely be sentenced less severely.
I told him, you know what? Zhou Yao finally woke up, but she couldn't walk anymore, and she seemed to have lost her soul, without emotions. She sat in a wheelchair in silence every day, pushed around by Lu Yan. Last time, I saw Lu Yan pushing her for a follow-up checkup at the hospital entrance. You tell me, when would we have thought that a playboy like Lu Yan would become such a devoted person today, and never leave Zhou Yao. Oh, by the way, he asked me to say hello, saying that he wanted to go out for a drink with you when he had time. I said no, I would never let you drink again. He also laughed at me for being a housekeeper before I got married, and I said I wanted to be your housekeeper for life, as long as you gave me a chance.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but I seemed to see Zhou Yao smile at me. You say, how nice it would be if we could go back to the time when we first met?
After thinking about it, I decided not to go back to the time when we first met. At that time, we often quarreled and I was mad at you every day. It’s better to be in love with you. You are mad at me every day. Do you know? Every time I see you busying around for me, I feel so warm.
There were also some things I didn't tell Lin Chujian. Mother Lin had been lying in bed because of a stroke. Father Lin suddenly looked much older because of Lin Chuyu's arrest and Lin Chujian's coma. I saw him wiping tears and confessing his guilt several times in front of Mother Lin's bed.
When the nurse came to check on me, she saw me and encouraged me, saying, "He will definitely wake up."
I smiled at her: "Thank you."
“Li Ge! Li Ge!” Yi Tian rushed into the ward shouting my name. Seeing the nurse, she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and whispered to me, “Qiu Yang’s case has been sentenced! Three years. If he behaves well in prison, he may be released early. I’m so happy, so happy!”
Yi Tian hugged me and jumped up happily.
Because there were changes in Lin Chujian’s heart rate monitor in the morning, I couldn’t go to court to wait for the results. This good news makes me happy.
I also hugged her and told her, "After he gets out, you two must get along well with each other. You are not allowed to quarrel again, and you are not allowed to break up again!"
"Actually...actually, when he was taken in after the interrogation today...he was shouting in the court." Yi Tian lowered her head, as shy as a young wife, "He said...he said that I should wait for him, and he would marry me when he came out."
"Then wouldn't that mean you'll become my sister-in-law? Then we'll really be a family." I teased her.
Yi Tian's happiness infected me and also dispelled some of the haze in my heart. I picked up the thermos and said, "I'm going to take food to Lin's mother first, please help me take care of Lin Chujian!"
"Okay, go ahead!"
Before I turned around, Lin Chujian's heart rate monitor started beating violently, and then it turned into a straight line...
The thermos in my hand fell to the ground, and the warm soup spilled all over me, but I didn't feel anything.
"Doctor! Nurse! Doctor--" Yi Tian screamed.
Groups of people poured into the ward. The pacemakers kept beating, increasing their power again and again. Finally... I only heard one sentence: "Record the time."
I felt like I was hit by someone, fell down, and lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I found a lot of people standing in the ward, my parents, Aunt Zhang, Yi Tian. They surrounded me and looked at me with sadness in their eyes.
"I... I'll go see Lin Chujian." I was so panicked that I stumbled out of bed and ran out without even having time to put on my shoes. But as soon as I took a step, my mother hugged me tightly.
I said, "Mom, I know you miss me, but I have to go see Lin Chujian first. He will be sad if he wakes up and can't see me."
"Mom, please let me go. I want to go see Lin Chujian. Haven't you always liked him as your future son-in-law? Please let me go. I will bring him to you and let him marry me."
"Mom..." I beg you, let me go see him.
"Li Ge, don't go. Lin Chu saw him... and he's dead."
"You're lying. He hasn't even married me yet, how could he die? Mom, today is not April Fools' Day, don't lie to me! Besides, who would lie to someone about something like this?"
"Li Ge..."
I sat stiffly in my mother's arms, with Yi Tian's sobbing in my ears.
I yelled at her: "Don't cry! Even if I die, Lin Chujian can't die!"
This is the first time I yelled at Yi Tian.
She cried and threw herself on me, saying to me over and over again: "Li Ge, don't go. Lin Chujian is really dead. The rescue was ineffective before you fell into a coma."
My world collapsed at this moment. I felt like I was packed up and thrown into an ice cave, freezing from head to toe.
I think my temperature now is no different from that of a corpse!
There is a fine line between happiness and pain.
Every couple has experienced quarrels, separations and reunions. Regardless of whether they end up together or not, at least they are still alive. There is still room for regret, and there is still sweetness when looking back. Even if it is a tragic divorce like my parents, they can still smile at each other when they see each other again.
Lin Chujian, I don’t want to be with you anymore.
Lin Chujian, I don’t want happiness anymore.
I just want you to be alive and live happily, even if the person next to you is not me.
I no longer have extravagant demands, no longer desire, no longer...can't let go.
As long as you are still here, I can let go easier than anyone else.
Those words that have never been said will never have the chance to be spoken again.
