"But you are my happiness. Without you, how could I be happy in this world alone? "
The girl's cheek was pressed against his neck as she murmured softly.
Asai did not say anything, but only smiled bitterly. He seemed to remember something and could not help but sigh.
If the reason why he had accompanied her for so many years was only because of her, then right now, his wish had been completely fulfilled. However, he knew that the reason he wanted to do that was not because of that.
Sometimes, when he couldn't sleep due to the pain, and paced back and forth in the small bedroom to relieve the pain, he would also think and regret that he shouldn't have been so selfish to let them pass by when Shen Canghao came to find her. But when he thought about it again, if they really met again, what would he have done and where would he be all these years?
He was no longer himself, he was like a tiny asteroid circling around her. He did not know that she was wholeheartedly focusing on circling around the others, that he was chasing after her, that she was infatuated with the other one, and that the three of them had lived a peaceful, three-legged life.
However, at this moment, Yaxi sighed. He would rather die than let her do something against his wishes. After that, he would never be able to turn back.
Go Back...
All of a sudden, Asmodeus' expression froze. It turned out that he had been harboring these kinds of thoughts in his mind all along. It was as if he still loved that person even after such a long time had passed.
"Ah Xi …" "Ah Xi?"
When she saw that he was silent, she couldn't help but call out to him in a low voice.
Asai slowly turned his face to look at her slightly lifted jaw. He felt a dull pain in his chest, almost unbearable. Still, he maintained his calm demeanor and looked at her steadily. "Yanyan, go find him. Warm …"
"Zeng Yaxi!"
After a long while, she finally stood up and pushed him away in a rage. However, after being pushed to the side by her, she was unable to sit up, gasping heavily. After several attempts, he finally gave up.
"Yan Yan Yan, I'm afraid I can't hide it from you anymore …" I can't take care of you and keep you warm anymore, go find him … "Four years ago, I should have told him that you were in your room. I stole these four years from the heavens. Now, it's time to return the favor …"
He panted heavily, his voice finally weakening in the end, as if he was tired, as if he were also tired. The moment he closed his eyes, the setting sun, like blood, abruptly returned to its luster at the end of the day, giving off a shocking brightness and a blood-red luster. Then, the sky sank into a boundless darkness, and the setting sun was swallowed up by the horizon, disappearing without a trace …
"Ah Xi …"
She staggered forward and sat down on her knees beside his bed. She held his hands, which were so cold.
At this moment, it was as if her heart had died along with her. At this moment, fear and despair were like a tide, slowly spreading from the bottom of her feet all the way up to her chest.
"Ah Xi …" "Ah Xi!"
As she called out his name, she felt as if the whole world, the world she had been relying on for so long, had completely collapsed.
She pushed her wheelchair across the soft ground. After the last rain of the winter, the weather was clear and it was rare to see the sun. She pushed Asai to walk in the hospital garden, but he didn't even have the strength to walk on his own.
He tried to sniff the scent of the spring flowers that had yet to come. He curled up in the thick blanket, drowsy from the sun's rays, gradually losing consciousness and waking up less and less. He still had a chance to see the spring, summer, and autumn of this year … Winter?
"Ah Xi …" "When you're well and warm, let's go on a trip together and take a walk, okay?"
"Alright."
"When you're better, we'll go home. We'll be together forever, okay?"
"Alright." Yaxi smiled. His voice was still weak, but there was a glimmer in his eyes. He would treat this as a dream, a dream that he would never wake up from.
When he fell asleep, she knelt beside his knees and gently held his bony fingers against his face. She gently caressed his face and repeatedly whispered, "Yaxi, live on, you have to live on …" What would I do if you were gone? "What should we do?"
This time, it seemed like he passed out for a longer period of time. When midnight arrived, and he was about to fall asleep with a smile on his face, Asai suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness. He stretched out his hand and groped around.
"Ah Xi, it's me. I'm here, by your side …" She was wide awake, and she clutched his hand in a panic as she replied.
"I dreamt that you left … "I, I'm scared …"
He mumbled to himself as he tried his best to keep a close eye on her, but he was powerless to do so. He gripped her fingers tightly and fell into a deep slumber …
