end
The day Ai Ye left was the hottest day since the beginning of summer this year, but the ward was terribly cold.
From the first day I met her, I knew she wouldn't live long, but she had persisted for thirteen years. Why couldn't she hold on for a few more years? Hold on until Ai Dong got married and had children, hold on until my grandparents passed away, hold on until the company went public... hold on until she fell in love with me...
She said: "Dongdong, you must study hard in the future, and then help your sister run the company and take good care of your grandparents."
She said: "Li Wei, you must live a good life with Ji Yusheng and be happy!"
She said: "Leng Zimo, thank you for coming back to see me off for the last time."
She said, "Grandpa, grandma, Ye Zi won't be able to take care of you anymore."
But when it came to me, she said, "Shen Anzhi, I'm sorry."
I don't know what she meant by "I'm sorry" and I don't want to know. I just want her to live well. I shook the doctor's shoulders and said over and over again: "Doctor, no matter how much money it costs, you must let her live! I have money, I have a lot of money, as long as she can live!"
I have lived for more than thirty years, and I always thought that everything was under my control. I could face everything with a smile, but I couldn't face this woman leaving me.
But she still...
Li Wei huddled in the corner of the ward and cried like a child. She didn't dare to go forward or touch the already cold person.
When the doctor came in to push her away, Li Wei rushed to the bed like crazy and didn't let anyone touch the bed. She said, "She's still alive. She just fell asleep. She's still alive! She's still alive!"
Ai Ye used to often say something. She said that people always like to deceive themselves.
Isn't this what we are like now? We know that she has left, but we are unwilling to believe it and unwilling to admit it.
The man named Leng Zimo stood expressionlessly beside the bed, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end. But I know that his sadness is no less than ours.
This man who has made Ai Ye worried for thirteen years is the happiest person to me.
But after Ai Ye's funeral, this man said to me: "Shen Anzhi, do you know how jealous I am of you? From the moment I knew you existed, I started to be jealous of you. I was almost going crazy!"
"Really?" I'm the one who's going crazy!
I love Ai Ye! But I know she has Leng Zimo in her heart, and this love has never been spoken out. This man must not know how many times I have asked people to check his information in the past ten years, and I can even recite everything about him! I envy him but I can't hate him, just because he is the one she loves.
"You don't even know that she loves you? You don't even know that she loves you!" Leng Zimo suddenly laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. "Shen Anzhi, I really don't know whether I should sympathize with you or laugh at you!"
He told me everything he said to Ai Ye that day, including the part where she said she liked me.
Leng Zimo is such a cruel man. He told me all this after Ai Ye died. He wanted me to have a terrible life in the future!
Even so... I am still happy. That silly woman finally lost to my suit pants! I, Shen Anzhi, have always won against women! I am such an excellent person. It's your loss that you can't go on with me!
But Ai Ye... I would rather you never let me know that you love me, but I want you to live well!
Five months later, Li Wei and Ji Yusheng got married. They didn't hold a wedding, but just invited a few people to have a meal together. Those people were once friends of Ai Ye. They would always casually mention her past, and then there would be a period of silence.
Ai Ye, they are all thinking of you, do you know?
Ai Ye, I miss you, do you know?
