He was already the person that she would never forget. No matter where he was, no matter how much time passed, he would still suddenly intrude into her dreams and suddenly rouse that most fragile of her heartstrings …
"Yan Yan …" "Yan Yan Yan?"
He walked around the table and saw that most of the quilt she was wearing had fallen off. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, a gentle smile playing at the corners of his lips. He was already such a big person, yet he still couldn't take good care of himself.
A breeze blew in from the window and lifted the curtain. He walked over and closed the window gently, letting in the sunlight that shone on the bed. Perhaps it would be dazzling, he thought, pulling the curtain shut again, walking around the chair at the head of the bed, taking light steps to her side.
He pulled up the blanket and covered her with it, but his thin and tall figure blocked the light from the window. He didn't see the tears on her face.
He sat down and held her slightly cold fingers to warm his palm. As he looked at her, he felt as if his heart was filled to the brim.
"Yan Yan …"
The voice he used to call her name sounded like he was sighing. In her dreams, she suddenly frowned and tightened her grip on his fingers. With her lips moving slightly, she whispered, "Ah Hao, is that you?"
As soon as Ashes heard her name, his back suddenly stiffened. The smile on his face gradually faded, disappearing without a trace. He just sat there dumbly, the smile on his face frozen in amusement. Ah Hao, Ah Hao …
Only at this moment would it be her truest reaction.
"Ah Hao …" "I miss you so much …"
With a smile, she turned over and placed her face in his palm. Yaxi paused for a moment, wanting to take her hand away from her, but she refused. She held her hand tighter. "Don't leave me …" "Don't ever leave me again."
The indistinct mumbles were like muffled thunder, instantly dispersing him from his body.
"I won't leave, I won't leave …"
He murmured numbly, feeling the warmth in his palms. She was crying.
He was unwilling to part with her. If at this moment she regarded him as the person in her dreams who could be happy and content, then he was willing.
"Really?" She pressed her face deeper into her palm and rubbed his hand with her nose, "You lied to me again … You always lie to me, this world... "Only Asai would not lie to me, only he …"
Ashes did not know how long she had been sitting there, nor did she know how long she had been sitting there. The sun had set and the dusk had passed. The faint blue of the twilight had faded. Her eyes were cold.
He didn't even have the strength to stand up and pull back his hand to avoid this awkward and embarrassing situation.
A smile, a smile …
You are so pitiful and yet so cruel.
If I came too late, even if I had to cut open my heart for you to see, you would only cry for me and feel heartache. However, if I could make you happy, then the person you would be satisfied with, be it an injury or a heartache, would forever be the one you remembered. Only he, for the rest of your life, would be the one.
Yaxi's eyes slowly fell on the indiscernible rise and fall of his belly. He suddenly laughed, tears falling from his eyes as he laughed.
This child, incongruous child, if not born perhaps no father's child, how to do?
If it was only because of your guilt towards me that I had him, I would rather not have him, I would have been awake three months ago!
Yaxi stood up as if she lost her soul. It was unknown when she let go of his hand. He stood up, and his chest began to feel stuffy again. He supported himself against the wall, allowing himself to stand quietly for a while before he slowly moved his legs and walked out …
As soon as he opened the door, he heard loud noises coming from the corridor, as well as the wails of a woman. For some reason, Assi felt that the sound was somewhat familiar, so he followed his gaze over …
"Ah Xi, Ah Xi …" "Mom is here, Mommy is here to see you …"
Assi was stunned. Two people appeared at the corner of the corridor, their mouths shouting his name as they stumbled into the room. Who else could it be other than his parents?
"Mom, dad, what's wrong, why are you two here?"
Just as he was about to avoid them, the two of them caught sight of him, and his wails grew louder. He hurriedly and carefully closed the door behind him, and went out into the corridor. He braced himself to greet them in a low voice.
"You child, why didn't you tell your mother that you were sick? Do you want to make mommy worry to death! "
Mrs. Zeng cried until her eyes were red and swollen. She tugged at his hands and sized them up, "Why are you so thin? Do you know how much Mom's heart hurts! "
"Mom, it's okay, it's just a minor illness. We can leave the hospital soon." Ashes gently embraced the old Mrs. Zeng, but her gaze was focused on her father, whose eyes were red and swollen. "Dad, don't worry. I'm fine …"
"Are you still trying to hide this from me? Mother knows all about Assi, you fool, it's all because of that woman. If it wasn't for her, how could your father have done that to you, causing you to lose your job and go to hard labor, causing you to suffer from lung disease? "It's all her …"
Lady Zeng hugged the scrawny Asai and cried out …
Behind them, the door quietly opened. Huan Yan was standing there in her hospital gown, but she clenched her teeth and didn't say a word.
Ceng Zimo glanced at his son before letting out a deep sigh. He hugged Cen Peiyi who was crying bitterly, "Peiyi, quickly let Assi go back to his room. With so many people watching, don't cry anymore …"
"Dad, you, how did you know?" At last, a hint of despair appeared in Yaxi's eyes. He didn't dare to look into his father's eyes. The disappointment and pain in his eyes almost suffocated him …
"If a doctor here didn't recognize you as a good friend of Dad, would you still be hiding this from us?"
Ceng Zimo clenched his teeth and stomped his feet. He couldn't hold back his tears …
"Xu Huayan! You still have the face to appear! "
Cen Peiyi, who was wiping her tears, lifted her head only to see Xu Huan Yan standing behind Asai. In an instant, she pushed him away with a ferocious look on her face as she dashed in the direction of the joy.
