Chapter 12 - Imminent death warning: within the next five minutes, hold hands with Ji Qingqing. (1)

Old Master Lu had invited a few doctors here in preparation of his grandson coming home. A lot of medical equipment had also been brought over from the hospital and placed in Lu Lixing's room to constantly monitor his physical condition.

There wasn't anything good to say. In the eyes of the others, Lu Lixing had returned home to wait for his death.

Facing death, one should be like a leaf that fell to its roots. Most people didn't want to die in a hospital, so the doctors would go along with their patients' wishes and allow them to return home.

Lu Lixing had an accurate understanding of his body's current condition. But, if he said that he had fully recovered, it would sound unimaginably outrageous. He couldn't speak frankly. He could only euphemistically say to Old Master Lu, "Grandfather, don't worry. I feel much better."

However, after he said these words, the faces in the room sank. Even Ji Qingqing was looking at him with a sympathetic gaze.

They thought; sure enough, he was having the last burst of energy and lucidity before his death.

Old Master Lu closed his eyes. He deeply sighed. "Make arrangements for his funeral."

Once the word "funeral" came out Old Master Lu's tired mouth, it seemed as if this tough old man had aged several years in the span of a second.

It was so cruel of fate to have a white-hair person send off a black-hair person to the afterlife, especially for Old Master Lu, who had already lost his son and was now going to lose his grandson too.

"Funeral?" Aunty Pei asked in a trembling voice. She stared at Old Master Lu for a long time. She suddenly collapsed back down on the couch. "Elder Lu, Young Master, he..."

"Death is inevitable for everyone. Back when Lixing's father died, I couldn't immediately accept it either." Old Master Lu tiredly waved his hand. "I've already assigned this task to Qin Shao. It's inevitable that some things will be missed when a man handles this type of matter. You should check that everything is done properly."

Aunty Pei shakely stood up. She tried her best to push down the sorrow in her heart. "I understand."

Old Master Lu moved his gaze to Ji Qingqing. There was still a glimmer of hope in his heart. Great Master Wu had said that if Lixing married Ji Qingqing, he would be saved. Right now, modern medicine couldn't save Lixing, so he placed all of his hopes on Ji Qingqing.

"Qingqing, you know about Lixing's condition. I know that I'm imposing on you by asking you this, but I hope that you can keep him company during the next few days."

Elder Lu's words were earnest. He didn't even notice how pleading his voice sounded.
