Chapter 9 The Last Days
Su Qingxin has become very adept at her job in the flower shop, and Xu Yingying gave her a benefit, asking her to bring some flowers back every day.
Su Qingxin would choose five flowers every day. Carnations were given to Shu Fan, forget-me-nots were given to Zhu Panpan, red hyacinths representing gratitude were given to Zhang Yishi, pink roses representing first love were given to Wei Ran, and red roses were left for Chi Yuecheng.
Except for Wei Ran's which was sent secretly, Su Qingxin sent the others' gifts openly.
Su Qingxin works in a flower shop and Chi Yuecheng works in Huamei. They have very little time to meet, but Chi Yuecheng receives roses from Su Qingxin every day, and he is very satisfied.
After finally waiting for both of them to have a day off, Chi Yuecheng invited Su Qingxin to his house.
He wanted to give her a surprise, a surprise proposal.
When Su Qingxin arrived at Chi Yuecheng's house, she found that the door was not closed. She pushed the door open and found that it was pitch black inside and she couldn't see anything. Would Chi Yuecheng want to give her a candlelight dinner again?
Su Qingxin guessed the answer and didn't expect anything, so she said, "Chi Yuecheng, if you don't say anything, I will turn on the light."
No one answered.
Su Qingxin turned on the light depressedly, and found that not only was there no candlelight dinner in the living room, but there was no one in sight.
"Chi Yuecheng, where are you?" Su Qingxin looked around but there was no one.
She opened the bedroom door and was startled before she even called out her name.
The bedroom floor was covered with rose petals. Chi Yuecheng was lying on the white sheets with a bunch of bright red roses in the middle.
He patted the empty space next to the rose and said, "Lie down."
Su Qingxin didn't understand what this surprise was, so she had to obediently take off her shoes, step on the petals, and lie down on the side of the bed.
Chi Yuecheng cast a passionate gaze over and said, "Dear Qingxin, will you marry me?"
Su Qingxin was a little confused. Was this a proposal?
Seeing Su Qingxin's confused look, Chi Yuecheng pointed at the ring hidden in the rose and said, "Didn't you see such a big diamond ring?"
Su Qingxin took a closer look and found that there was indeed a diamond ring.
Chi Yuecheng took off the diamond ring, threw the rose bouquet aside, turned over and gently pressed Su Qingxin, put the diamond ring on her ring finger, then kissed her fingertips affectionately and said, "Qingxin, shall we get married?"
Su Qingxin didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and asked in disbelief: "You... are proposing?"
"Yes, promise me." Chi Yuecheng was very close to Su Qingxin, and his deep voice with his breath sprinkled on Su Qingxin's face.
"Promise me." Seeing that Su Qingxin didn't speak for a long time, Chi Yuecheng urged her with his breath, acting like a rogue like a child.
Su Qingxin turned her head slightly and said, "Acheng... I... this is a bit too sudden, can you let me think about it?"
Chi Yuecheng straightened Su Qingxin's head and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll give you some time to think about it, one minute, okay?"
"Acheng, this is a lifelong event." Su Qingxin looked at him helplessly and said, "Give me three days to think about it, just three days." Then, she looked at him sincerely.
Although Chi Yuecheng was reluctant, he still agreed and said, "Okay, give me an answer in three days. You must wear the ring and you are not allowed to take it off!"
Su Qingxin couldn't resist Chi Yuecheng's tyranny, so she had to say, "Okay, I won't take it."
"That's good enough." Chi Yuecheng said with satisfaction, moving his lips closer to Su Qingxin's.
Su Qingxin supported Chi Yuecheng's shoulders and dodged: "Not now, wait until I give you an answer."
"I just want a kiss." Chi Yuecheng pretended to be dissatisfied.
"Not even halfway." Su Qingxin said seriously.
"Okay then." Chi Yuecheng looked unhappy and stood up obediently.
Su Qingxin stood up and walked outside, asking, "I'm hungry, is there any food in the refrigerator?"
"Yes." Chi Yuecheng said in a long voice, and immediately got up and said, "I'll make it for you." As he said that, he pushed Su Qingxin aside, took out the vegetables from the refrigerator and started cooking. Su Qingxin let him go and sat alone at the dining table waiting.
Looking at the diamond ring on her ring finger, Su Qingxin slowly fell into deep thought.
Should I really accept Chi Yuecheng's proposal? But I haven't told him about my illness yet.
How should I tell him?
Su Qingxin originally didn't want to tell anyone, but as time went by, even if she didn't tell others, others would eventually find out, and she couldn't hide it for long.
Also, if she really agreed to Chi Yuecheng, what about Wei Ran...
She still couldn't completely forget Wei Ran in her heart. Was it unfair to Chi Yuecheng if she agreed to his proposal?
Why are there so many things bothering her? Su Qingxin held her head, her eyes and head hurt.
If only there weren’t so many things going on, if only Chi Yuecheng wasn’t her boyfriend, if only she hadn’t reunited with Wei Ran!
After being proposed to by Chi Yuecheng, Su Qingxin was restless and didn't know what to do, so she called Xu Yingying to ask for leave.
Xu Yingying said on the other end of the phone: "Is that so? Then I'll close for a few days. It just so happens that a friend of mine is sick and hasn't been in a good mood in recent days. She's in the hospital, so I want to go over and keep her company."
"Well, don't be in a bad mood when you are sick. Go and keep her company." Su Qingxin said.
Xu Yingying sighed and said, "Alas, there is nothing I can do. Fate plays tricks on me. A young girl broke her leg in a car accident. It was already very painful. In order to prevent her boyfriend from wasting his life because of her, she broke up with him. Now she is alone in the hospital crying and fainted several times."
"Is...is that so?" Su Qingxin asked.
"Yeah, I won't talk to you for now. I have to get in the car." Xu Yingying got busy.
"Wait a minute, Sister Yingying, which hospital are you in? I'll come see you when I'm free." Su Qingxin hurriedly called out to Xu Yingying.
"First Hospital, you can come anytime." After saying that, Xu Yingying got on the bus and hung up the phone.
Su Qingxin held the phone in her hand against her chest, thinking about Xu Yingying's words. Her friend reluctantly broke up with her boyfriend in order to prevent him from wasting his life... Then what about her? If she became blind, she would definitely become a burden, implicating Chi Yuecheng and Zhang Yishi, right?
But Chi Yuecheng has a house, a car, savings, and he's not bad looking. Why should he be implicated by her when he has such good conditions? And Zhang Yishi, Su Qingxin has implicated him for five years, she can't implicate him again.
On the third day, Su Qingxin went to the hospital to visit Xu Yingying's friend.
The girl lay on the hospital bed with a pale face, almost losing hope for life.
Su Qingxin asked her: "Maybe your boyfriend is willing to take care of you for the rest of your life?"
The girl looked at the ceiling, smiled haggardly, and said, "It's not about whether he is willing or not, but whether I am willing or not. You know what? I really can't imagine that I have to spend the rest of my life sitting in a wheelchair with him. He is a healthy person, and I am a disabled person. I don't want to drag him down and make his second half of his life difficult. It is because I love him and want to give him a good future that I proposed to break up. If this can be considered as my selfishness, then let me be selfish."
Su Qingxin was somewhat moved.
She left the ward, walked through the long corridor and came to the end of the corridor. A gust of wind blew in from the window, causing her cheek to hurt a little.
It really is winter now. The branches have become dry and the birds have nowhere to rely on.
Su Qingxin carefully stroked the ring on her finger until it became blurred in her sight.
"I'm sorry, Acheng." She kissed the ring.
Then she took out her cell phone and called Chi Yuecheng.
The phone was answered after only one beep. Chi Yuecheng couldn't hide his joy and asked, "Su Qingxin, are you willing to marry me? "
Su Qingxin's heart tightened. She smiled and opened her lips slightly. The cold wind entered her throat, making her voice hoarse. She said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to."
As soon as these words came out, Su Qingxin felt only the cold wind whistling in her ears.
Chi Yuecheng became anxious on the other end of the phone and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any reason? Qingxin."
"There's no reason." Su Qingxin said calmly, "I just don't want to marry you."
"Su Qingxin, what do you mean? After considering it for so many days, you just want to tell me coldly that you don't want to marry me? If you don't give me a reason, I will never let you go!"
Su Qingxin could feel Chi Yuecheng's anger. There was a sound of objects falling to the ground. Chi Yuecheng must have overturned the desk.
Su Qingxin smiled bitterly, but her voice remained calm as she said, "What reason can there be? Chi Yuecheng, do you think I have ever loved you after being with you for more than a year?"
Chi Yuecheng was silent. Did she love him? She never loved him!
"Su Qingxin..." The voice on the other end gnashed its teeth and asked, "Have you really never loved me? When you were with me, didn't you feel even a little tenderness and happiness?"
More than a little tenderness and happiness, more than a little.
Even though Su Qingxin did not have such deep feelings for Chi Yuecheng, she was gentle and happy, and she also liked him.
But the past was really a cage, she couldn't escape, she was stuck in the middle and almost suffocated! Just when she was about to suffocate, fate had to give her a fatal blow.
Chi Yuecheng, I don't want to drag you down. If I wasn't afraid of dragging you down, I would definitely return your feelings well, without any ambiguity.
"I have been happy, but..." The tears on Su Qingxin's eyelashes were blown away by the wind. She said, "That doesn't mean I love you..."
Tears evaporate in the wind and feelings collapse in an instant.
"Su Qingxin!" Chi Yuecheng's angry roar came from the other end of the phone.
Su Qingxin hung up the phone and walked out of the hospital. At the door of the ward, Xu Yingying couldn't help but sigh as she heard this scene.
Su Qingxin knew that Chi Yuecheng would definitely run to her place to find her the next second, so she went to Zhang Yishi's place, but the second place Chi Yuecheng would look for would definitely be Zhang Yishi's place.
Hearing the violent knocks on the door outside, Zhang Yishi looked at Su Qingxin, who was curled up on the sofa in a daze, shook his head, walked to the door, and asked in a pretended furious tone: "Fuck you, who is it!"
"Zhang Yishi, is Su Qingxin here with you?" Chi Yuecheng asked outside the door.
"Your woman is missing, what do you have to do with me? I'm busy! Don't ruin my business! Get out of here!" Zhang Yishi responded rudely.
Zhang Yishi didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he asked, "Then do you know where she is now? Or what happened to her?"
"I don't know, I don't know! That girl hasn't contacted me for several days."
"Really..." Chi Yuecheng felt a little lonely. His hand slid weakly from the door, not knowing where to look.
Seeing that there was no movement outside, Zhang Yishi walked towards the inner room, shouting in a pinched voice: "Baby, you must be waiting anxiously, brother is coming." Then he closed the door of the inner room with force.
Chi Yuecheng heard the noise inside and thought that Su Qingxin was really not here.
Her phone was not working, and there was no one at home. He just wanted a reason that could convince himself. Was it so difficult? Why did Su Qingxin reject him vaguely? Even he could tell that Su Qingxin was not sincere, so could she not feel it herself?
Chi Yuecheng felt as if he had lost the most important thing and felt lost.
It turns out that Su Qingxin is so important in his heart!
Even he doesn't know.
Zhang Yishi looked through the peephole and saw Chi Yuecheng leaving in a daze. He immediately turned around and scolded Su Qingxin: "What are you doing? Isn't everything fine? What did you do to him?"
"Nothing, he just proposed to me and I rejected him, saying I didn't love him." Su Qingxin hugged the pillow with a blank expression.
"Why?" Zhang Yishi sat down and asked her.
"If I don't love you, I don't love you. There's no reason why." Su Qingxin said absentmindedly.
Zhang Yishi knew Su Qingxin, she wouldn't say such a thing for no reason. Zhang Yishi slowed down his tone and said, "Girl, don't hide it from me. Tell me what happened. Don't bear it alone."
Su Qingxin buried her head and refused to speak.
It was like this again, refusing to say anything. Zhang Yishi couldn't stand her in this state, so he held her head and forced her to look into his eyes when she spoke.
But Su Qingxin immediately pushed Zhang Yishi away, hid herself deeper, and complained: "What are you doing!"
Her voice was tearful and there were tear marks on her face. Zhang Yishi saw it clearly.
"What happened?" Zhang Yishi couldn't sit still, stood up anxiously, and said, "You're crying again, right? Didn't I tell you not to cry when you encounter problems, but to talk about them and solve them together?"
"But it can't be solved!" Su Qingxin raised her head and frowned, "Can the dead come back to life? Can the water that has been poured out be taken back? Can you pretend that the things you have done never happened? Can a sick person think that this illness is just a nightmare? No!"
Zhang Yishi pursed his lips, put his hands on his waist, and said, "Yes, what happened can't be treated as if it didn't happen. But you obviously have something to worry about, and you obviously have difficulties, why don't you speak up? Su Qingxin, do you think your friends are nothing? You hide it from everyone, making us guess, worry about you, and feel sad for you. Do you think your behavior is mature? Is it appropriate?"
"But even if I say it out loud, it won't change anything..." Su Qingxin sobbed, and her vision became blurry.
"Girl." Zhang Yishi squatted in front of Su Qingxin and comforted her, "I have watched you grow up, and I know that it is not a big deal to hit you like this. Just tell me, I won't tell anyone else, okay?"
Su Qingxin shook her head, her eyes stinging from the tears.
"Girl, what's wrong?" Seeing that something was wrong, Zhang Yishi lowered his head and looked at Su Qingxin.
Su Qingxin covered her eyes and said uncomfortably: "My eyes hurt..."
"Then don't cry. I won't ask anymore and I won't force you." Zhang Yishi said while supporting Su Qingxin.
Su Qingxin leaned on the sofa and said, "Get me a hot towel."
Zhang Yishi went to get a basin of boiling water, soaked the towel in the water, and handed it to Su Qingxin.
Su Qingxin folded a towel and placed it on her eyes as a hot compress. This would relieve the pain a little.
Su Qingxin calmed down. With a hot towel on her eyes, she couldn't see anything. She spoke slowly, her emotions were much more stable, and said: "Zhang Yishi, I know you are worried about me, but please believe me, I can handle these things by myself, I will give everyone an explanation, and I will not drag anyone down."
"I can ignore you." Zhang Yishi was afraid that Su Qingxin's mood would be affected again, so he said, "You have to promise me that if there is really no other way, remember to come back to me."
Su Qingxin took off the towel and sighed heavily. She stood up and walked out the door weakly, answering mechanically, "I know, I'll go back first."
Zhang Yishi stood in the middle of the room, his hands in his trouser pockets. He tilted his head and watched Su Qingxin leave, with an indescribable doubt between his brows.
After Su Qingxin left Zhang Yishi, she did not go home directly, but went to Feng Ruixing's roller skating rink.
Feng Ruixing said that the roller skating rink was opened by him and three of his friends. There are also chess, tea, card rooms and dining areas in the rink, which is very suitable for young people to play and they can make a lot of money every month.
Seeing Su Qingxin appear at the roller skating rink, the sharp-eyed Lu Xi immediately came up to her and asked in surprise: "Sister Qingxin, why are you here?"
This is the first time Su Qingxin has come here after reconciling with Feng Ruixing.
"Where is my brother?" Su Qingxin asked with a smile.
"I'm playing with some friends in there." Lucy brought Su Qingxin in.
Su Qingxin asked as they walked: "You didn't go to class? Oh, it's time to end get out of class now."
She asked and answered herself so many questions that she almost forgot what time it was.
Lu Xi took Su Qingxin to the lounge, poured her a cup of tea, and said, "I don't have classes this afternoon, so I came here to help. Sister Qingxin, wait a minute, I'll go call Ah Xing out."
"No need to shout." Su Qingxin stopped Lu Xi, looked around, and said, "I just came to see how you are. It seems that you are running this place pretty well."
"Axing and his friends are popular, I'm just helping them." Lucy felt a little embarrassed and a little reserved.
Su Qingxin smiled and pulled her over, asked her to sit next to her, and said: "But if you are not here, Feng Ruixing will definitely lose a lot of motivation. Xixi, although I really don't know what's so good about Feng Ruixing, but he does have his own advantages that make you like him. In the future, you two must be considerate and understanding of each other, and don't break up easily because of trivial matters, understand?" As she spoke, Su Qingxin suddenly felt a little sad.
Why did she say this like a traveler?
Fortunately, Lu Xi was young and didn't see what was on her mind, so she quickly responded, "Don't worry, Sister Qingxin. Since I'm determined to be with Ah Xing, I won't let go easily. I won't get angry like other girls. We will understand each other."
"That's good." Su Qingxin didn't even drink the tea, nor did she stay for long. She chatted with Lucy for a few words and then got up to leave.
Lucy couldn't keep her, so she let her go.
After Su Qingxin walked a distance away, she heard Feng Ruixing calling her name from behind. She stopped and turned her head, and saw Feng Ruixing running towards her breathlessly: "Sister Su!"
Feng Ruixing stopped in front of Su Qingxin and panted heavily, "Xixi said you came and left, so I hurried out to chase you. Fortunately, I caught up with you. Sister, you came here with great difficulty, so just eat before leaving. I still have a lot to say to you."
"I don't have anything to say to you. Feng Ruixing, I'm not your biological sister after all, and there's no way I can maintain this kind of relationship with you until the end." Su Qingxin frowned slightly and said softly.
"Why is there no way? So what if she is not my biological sister? I will call you sister anyway. You are my sister and you can't escape." Feng Ruixing acted like a child.
Su Qingxin sneered and rolled her eyes at him.
"Okay, come back with me quickly. I asked Xixi to cook." Feng Ruixing pulled Su Qingxin's arm and shook her.
Su Qingxin felt a little dizzy and said hurriedly, "I really won't go. I still have a lot of things to do, and I haven't delivered all the flowers today."
"Forget it, I'll send it tomorrow." Feng Ruixing muttered.
"Nonsense!" Su Qingxin glared at him.
As soon as Su Qingxin got angry, he didn't dare to say anything else, so he had to give up and said, "Then I'll invite you next time, don't be angry."
"I understand. I'm not angry. Let's go back." Su Qingxin saw that Feng Ruixing was a little depressed, so she patted his arm to comfort him.
Feng Ruixing walked back with a reluctant look on his face.
Su Qingxin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw his back disappear around the corner.
What to eat? What flowers to send? She just wants to be alone now.
Sometimes, when you get past a dead end, you realize that some things are not that difficult to solve. But she really can't marry Chi Yuecheng. Chi Yuecheng is a good man and deserves a complete marriage and a healthy wife.
Su Qingxin didn't dare turn on her cell phone, for fear that as soon as she turned it on, it would be bombarded with calls from Chi Yuecheng.
After returning to the flower shop to work, Su Qingxin finally begged to stay in the flower shop for a few days. In this way, Chi Yuecheng would not be able to find her, and Chi Yuecheng didn't know the address of her flower shop anyway. She also asked Zhu Panpan to return Chi Yuecheng's engagement ring. After Chi Yuecheng got the ring, he threw it out of the window on the 16th floor of the beautiful house, and then ran downstairs to look for it. Su Qingxin didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this.
She still sends flowers here every day, and still delivers her own flowers to Shu Fan and others every day, but she can no longer send them to Chi Yuecheng.
While delivering flowers to others, Su Qingxin came to where Wei Ran lived. She placed pink roses at his door, prayed as usual, and then turned and left.
But just as she turned around, she saw Wei Ran standing very close to her, staring at her, with a cold light in his eyes.
"It's you." He said as if he had already guessed who sent the flowers.
"I'm delivering it for someone else." Su Qingxin lied without blushing and walked straight past him.
Wei Ran grabbed her arm and dragged her to the door. He picked up the rose on the ground and sniffed it, then asked, "So, Miss Su, who are you sending this for? Who is so kind to send me roses?"
"It is our duty to keep client confidentiality." Su Qingxin broke free from Wei Ran's hand, glared at him and was about to leave.
"Su Qingxin." Wei Ran stopped her and asked, "Did you reject Chi Yuecheng's proposal?"
Su Qingxin stood there in a daze. Wei Ran looked at her thin back, unable to see her expression.
"Did this news spread so quickly?" There was no emotion in Su Qingxin's voice.
Wei Ran said: "It's not that the news spread quickly, it's that Chi Yuecheng couldn't find you and came to my place to look for you."
Su Qingxin didn't turn around and asked softly, "What did you say?"
"I said I didn't know where you were. I didn't lie to him, I really didn't know."
Su Qingxin didn't know that Chi Yuecheng couldn't find her, and he actually looked for everyone who knew her. Why did she meet only fools? Su Qingxin didn't even know whether God pitied her, spoiled her, or hated her, giving her two people who were devoted to her, but not giving her any chance to stay with one of them for a long time.
"Then don't tell him you've seen me." Su Qingxin said, turning around.
Wei Ran could still see her panic and helplessness from her evasive eyes. He was about to ask her what happened recently, but he saw her running towards the elevator absent-mindedly.
Su Qingxin kept pressing the down button, but the elevator didn't come up. She turned and walked towards the stairs. Wei Ran was wondering about Su Qingxin's abnormal behavior, but suddenly he heard a muffled sound.
"Be careful?" Wei Ran was startled and quickly ran towards the stairs.
Su Qingxin fell at the bottom of the stairs and did not respond to him.
"Qingxin!" Wei Ran ran down in panic, helped Su Qingxin up, and found a bright red mark on her forehead.
Su Qingxin was still somewhat conscious. She was breathing slightly and her brows were furrowed.
"Qingxin, bear with it, I'll take you to the hospital!" Wei Ran picked up Su Qingxin by the waist and ran down the stairs.
Wei Ran was too anxious to hear Su Qingxin's quiet request.
She didn't want to go to the hospital. If she went to the hospital, the thing she had concealed for so long would no longer be revealed.
She didn't want Wei Ran to know and didn't want him to worry.
But Wei Ran still sent her to the hospital and forced her to take an X-ray. Only after he made sure that the wound was fine and that no bones were broken did he feel relieved.
While the nurse was bandaging Su Qingxin's wound, Wei Ran heard that Su Qingxin was ill in the doctor's office.
"It's not a big deal to fall down, but I don't know how you guys take care of patients. If you can't see clearly, ask someone to accompany you when you walk up the stairs. You didn't hurt anyone, but if you did, it would be a lot more trouble." The doctor complained while quickly recording Su Qingxin's condition in the medical record.
Wei Ran didn't quite understand what he said, so he asked, "Doctor, what eyes can't see clearly? Whose eyes can't see clearly?"
The doctor looked up and said in confusion: "Patient. Your family doesn't know? Aren't you her boyfriend?"
Wei Ran was a little surprised. His lips moved a few times and he asked in disbelief, "Are you talking about Qingxin? Are you saying that she can't see clearly?"
The doctor was even more confused and said, "Yes, the cornea has been inflamed for a long time, and now the vision has dropped sharply. He has to come to me every month to get medicine. Don't you know?"
Wei Ran was shocked. He didn't know. He didn't know!
He understood that Su Qingxin had deliberately concealed the truth from them, including rejecting Chi Yuecheng's proposal, which was definitely because she was afraid of dragging him down.
But why did she get this disease? She has to bear it alone.
"Doctor Wang, he doesn't know." Su Qingxin's weak voice suddenly sounded at the door.
Wei Ran's body trembled and he didn't dare to look back at her.
When Dr. Wang saw Su Qingxin coming over, he hurriedly said, "You came at the right time. Here is your medical record. I have given you some more medicine. Go to the pharmacy to get it."
"Thank you, Doctor Wang." Su Qingxin took the medical record, pulled Wei Ran, who was stunned, and said softly, "Let's go out."
Wei Ran was pulled by her and looked down at her profile. She had a faint smile on her lips, as if this illness had never happened to her. At this moment, because the illness was made public, she felt more calm?
"Actually, I was diagnosed with corneal inflammation when I was in Beijing." Su Qingxin glanced at Wei Ran. Since he already knew it, she would not hide it from him anymore.
Wei Ran didn't know what to say. Words of comfort were of no use.
After a while, Wei Ran suddenly asked, "Can I receive the cornea of a living person? Will that restore my sight?"
Su Qingxin was stunned and suddenly let go of Wei Ran's hand.
Wei Ran looked at her, his eyes full of sincerity.
Su Qingxin didn't know if she had misinterpreted Wei Ran's words. She smiled lightly and said, "If possible, I wouldn't agree."
Wei Ran knew that he was a little impulsive, and he couldn't cover up the topic, so he took the prescription from Su Qingxin's hand and said, "I'll get the medicine for you." Then, he walked stiffly towards the pharmacy.
Su Qingxin was waiting for him at the hospital entrance. When Wei Ran was getting the medicine, he kept asking the doctor what taboos he should have when taking the medicine.
When they reached the hospital entrance, Wei Ran also memorized the instructions, dosage, and precautions on the medicine box. He handed the medicine to Su Qingxin and reminded her, "Be sure to protect your eyes. I don't believe that if you protect your eyes well, you will really go blind."
Su Qingxin glanced at the medicine in the bag, lowered her head slightly, sighed softly, and asked: "Wei Ran, what should I do if I really can't see?"
The 23-year-old man stood in front of her, holding back his tears. He said in a hoarse voice: "Su Qingxin, I don't want you to lose sight of me, so there can't be this 'if' in your life or in my life, remember!"
"Yes, yes, I'll remember it." Su Qingxin leaned on Wei Ran.
She actually remembered clearly many of the things he said to her and had never forgotten them.
But this time, if she really couldn't remember it, she would just think of it as her being sorry to Wei Ran.
"Don't cry." Wei Ran reached out to wipe away the tears that Su Qingxin herself didn't even realize were falling, and said gently, "The doctor said you can't cry."
"I won't cry." Su Qingxin raised her face and faced Wei Ran with a smile.
If Su Qingxin must feel Wei Ran's tenderness in this way before she goes blind, then please God give her a little more time.
Wei Ran sent Su Qingxin home and promised her not to tell anyone about this.
Su Qingxin controls her emotions every day, thinking that as long as she pays a little attention, nothing unexpected will happen.
But sometimes, if you pay attention, accidents can happen.
That day, Su Qingxin went out to deliver flowers as usual, riding the battery bike. When crossing the sidewalk, she rubbed her itchy eyes and accidentally bumped into a six-year-old child.
The child and Su Qingxin both fell to the ground, and the child burst into tears.
When the child's mother saw this, she immediately grabbed Su Qingxin and started scolding her, demanding compensation, not even caring about her own child.
Su Qingxin looked at the crying child sitting on the ground and said hurriedly, "I won't leave. Can you take a look at the child's injuries first?"
The woman held Su Qingxin with one hand and supported the child with the other, and asked, "Baby, does it hurt? Tell mommy where you're hurt."
The child sniffed , two lines of sparkling tears hung on his face, and he pulled his mother's clothes in fear.
Upon seeing this, the woman immediately shouted, "Look! My child is so scared that he can't even speak. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"
Su Qingxin's collar was tightly held by the woman's hand. She said helplessly, "Of course I will compensate the child if he is injured. The most important thing now is to take the child to the hospital for a check-up to see if he is injured. Whatever compensation you need, I will not give you less than a penny."
"Go to the hospital? You're going to the hospital to delay time, right?" The woman was obviously trying to blackmail him and didn't give Su Qingxin any chance to breathe.
"Of course we're going to the hospital to check on your child's injuries. Why are you stalling?" A clear female voice came, and the woman's hand was forcibly pulled away. Qin Ruxi appeared beside her, pointing at the woman's nose and said, "Auntie, your son was hit, aren't you worried? People have said they will compensate and won't leave, and you're still dithering here. If you want to blackmail them for money, just say so."
"Auntie?" The woman, who was only thirty years old, pointed at her own face, then at Tan Ruxi, and asked angrily, "Who are you? Stop interfering!"
"I just saw with my own eyes that you were crossing the road with your child without holding the child's hand and were playing with your phone. If you don't believe me, I have the video. It took you three seconds to react after your child was hit, which is enough to show that you, as a parent, are also responsible for this accident! Besides, when the accident happened just now, the light was yellow, and the yellow light means that you should wait. If you lack traffic knowledge, I can teach you for free." Qin Ruxi was eloquent and every word was compelling.
"You..." The woman couldn't argue with Qin Ruxi, so she hugged her child tightly and said, "But she hit my child, that's the fact!"
"I won't say anything. Take the child to the hospital for a checkup. If there is any problem, I will give you a penny less in compensation." Qin Ruxi spread her hands and asked with the help of the onlookers, "Everyone, do you think I am right? The girl didn't care about the woman's failure to obey traffic rules, and she took responsibility and was willing to pay corresponding compensation for the consequences. But the woman was obviously not happy about it and just wanted to blackmail me."
The crowd echoed Tan Ruxi's words. Tan Ruxi smiled confidently and looked down at the woman.
The woman had no choice but to take a step back: "Okay, let's go to the hospital! If my son is hurt, I want you to double the compensation!" She pointed at Su Qingxin and said viciously.
Tan Ruxi whispered to Su Qingxin: "It's okay, I'll go with you."
In the hospital, the doctor examined the child many times and found nothing serious.
"Doctor, check again. Maybe there's something you haven't found yet."
"There is nothing that has not been checked. The child was wearing thick clothes and didn't get hurt anywhere after the fall. The electric bike probably braked in time and only scratched the child's clothes."
"Doctor, please check again..." the woman requested.
Qin Ruxi, who was standing aside, spat and said, "I've never seen a mother like this. She hopes something bad will happen to her son."
Su Qingxin remained silent.
In the end, no matter how many times the woman asked, she got the same answer: her son was fine. Su Qingxin paid for the checkup and gave the woman another 500 yuan. The woman grabbed the money and left with the child, cursing.
"You are lucky that the child was not hurt." Qin Ruxi glanced at Su Qingxin.
Su Qingxin said: "Thank you."
"No need to thank me, I just happened to pass by." Qin Ruxi said indifferently.
"Yeah." Su Qingxin responded perfunctorily and prepared to leave the hospital.
"Wait a moment." Qin Ruxi suddenly grabbed Su Qingxin's hand and said, "Qingxin, since we are at the hospital, please stay with me. I also need to go for a check-up to see if I am really pregnant." As she spoke, she patted her belly gently, feeling a little aggrieved.
"Pregnant?" Su Qingxin asked in surprise.
Tan Ruxi didn't understand why Su Qingxin was so surprised, and said, "Yes, I'm pregnant."
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Su Qingxin asked curiously.
Mentioning this topic, Qin Ruxi smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "It's Wei Ran. I didn't have my period this month, and I was afraid that I was pregnant, so I wanted to come for a check-up."
Wei Ran?
She was talking about Wei Ran.
"What's wrong with you, Su Qingxin?" Seeing that Su Qingxin didn't look well, Qin Ruxi came up and asked with concern.
"No, nothing." Su Qingxin avoided her concern and smiled a little stiffly, "Congratulations!"
Qin Ruxi smiled with a little shyness: "I... I haven't told Wei Ran yet. Qingxin, you have to keep it a secret for me, and tell him after I confirm it."
Su Qingxin felt empty inside, and her center of gravity was a little unstable. The hand held by Qin Ruxi began to lose strength. There was a buzzing in her ears, and she couldn't hear Qin Ruxi's voice clearly. She just felt like she had fallen into a huge empty space.
"Su Qingxin, are you okay?" Qin Ruxi supported Su Qingxin.
Su Qingxin pushed Qin Ruxi away, waved her hands quickly, and said in a lost voice: "It's okay, I'm sorry, I have something else to do today, so I can't accompany you."
"It's okay, I..." Before Qin Ruxi could finish her words, she saw Su Qingxin running away absent-mindedly.
She looked like a drunk traveler who couldn't find her way home.
Watching Su Qingxin stumbling out of the hospital, Qin Ruxi gently stroked her belly and smiled with her head down.
Su Qingxin didn't drive the electric car. She didn't dare to drive out in her current condition.
Her breathing was a little rapid, and her heart seemed to have been taken out and hung in the wind, being tormented by the cold wind, and the pain penetrated deep into her bones.
Why was she so sad? Why did she feel so dark and she couldn't see anything?
She accidentally bumped into a pedestrian, who looked at her like she was crazy. Su Qingxin was just like when she ran away from Feng's house and couldn't find her way. She squatted on the street, covered her face and cried loudly.
No one came forward to ask.
At that time, Zhang Yishi saved her.
Who will save her at this time?
The sadness had accumulated for so long, and it suddenly collapsed at this moment.
She hadn't seen Wei Ran for five years, but she had always lived with the hope that they would meet again. Now that she could meet Wei Ran, she suddenly felt that there was no point in it anymore.
It turns out that the person you like will eventually not belong to you, which is much sadder than knowing that you will eventually not belong to him.
The cold wind blows and snowflakes fall. Winter is so nice.
