Chapter 1270 She squatted in front of him and advised him to take care of himself

Li Jinxing was unusually calm today. He Tian was afraid that he could not keep an eye on him, so he quickly called Zhou Yi over.

The three of them finally got together. He Tian ordered takeout at the hotel and had it delivered. The five-star dishes felt no different from those that cost two or three hundred yuan after they were delivered. He Tian brought the dishes to the table and took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet.

Li Jinxing drank one cup after another as if he was risking his life.

He Tian tried to persuade him, but to no avail.

Li Jinxing tilted his head back and drank a glass of vodka directly into his stomach. Just looking at it made his stomach hurt.

Li Jinxing remained calm, but his eyes were slightly hazy, as if a layer of mist covered his dark pupils, and his fierce aura was weakened a little.

"Boss, you'd better not drink so much and take care of your health..." He Tian reached out to cover the wine glass.

Li Jinxing took his hand away: "It's okay, I'm happy today, and I finally got to drink with you guys..."

Li Jinxing said he was happy, but his face was gloomy and even the corners of his mouth did not move. There was really no sign of happiness on his face.

Zhou Yi shook his head at He Tian, meaning that he should wait for Li Jinxing to drink. If he got drunk, the worst that could happen was that he would take a nap. When he was sober, he might start to have all sorts of random thoughts. If he thought of something wrong, it would be all over.

Li Jinxing usually just lies down and falls asleep when he's drunk, but today, he kept muttering Gu Wanqiu's name, a rare example of him acting drunkenly.

"I'm going to the bathroom." He staggered to his feet, refused He Tian's support, went into the bathroom alone and closed the door.

He Tian looked at the closed door. After waiting for a while, Li Jinxing still didn't come out. He asked, "Is nothing going to happen?"

Zhou Yi: "It shouldn't be." Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise from inside, like the sound of something being smashed.

He Tian and Zhou Yi quickly got up and rushed to open the door, only to see Li Jinxing leaning against the sink. The mirror was half broken, and cracked fragments were falling off the wall in scattered pieces.

His right hand, which was supporting the sink, was bleeding. From the loud noise, one could imagine how powerful the punch was.

The faucet was on, and Li Jinxing turned his head to look at the two people standing at the door.

"What are you doing here?"

"Boss...your hand..."

"I'm fine. I'm not hurt. I just saw a mosquito flying by in the mirror... and I used a little too much pressure..."

Is this called "a little"?

Zhou Yi said, "Let's deal with it."

"I'm fine." Li Jinxing put his bloody right hand directly into the faucet to rinse it, then walked around the two of them and returned to the restaurant to continue drinking.

The pain made his cloudy brain clearer and no longer had hallucinations. He seemed to have seen Gu Wanqiu's shadow in the mirror just now.

He Tian and Zhou Yi could only watch him drink, worried about his stomach, so they contacted a doctor in advance.

At the end of the drink, Li Jinxing lit up another cigarette, and the room was filled with an unpleasant smell of cigarettes and alcohol.

Li Jinxing hadn't been so indulgent for a long time, so much so that He Tian almost forgot how crazy he was for love before.

What he wanted was to numb himself and forget Gu Wanqiu, but on Gu Wanqiu's birthday, his mind was full of her image and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what he did.

He vaguely looked at Gu Wanqiu, who was wearing a white dress and a white camellia on her head. She squatted in front of him and gently persuaded him with a serious tone that she had never used before.

"Li Jinxing, don't drink... Drinking too much is bad for your health... Jin, did you hear me... Don't get sick, it's so uncomfortable... I'm leaving soon... You have to take care of yourself..."

Li Jinxing smashed the wine bottle with one hand, and the auditory hallucinations finally disappeared.

Li Jinxing lowered his head, his mouth open as he gasped, beads of sweat glistened on his forehead, and there was confusion in his eyes.

Seeing the illusion suddenly disappear, he couldn't help but shout again: "Gu Wanqiu, where have you been..."

The burning sensation in his stomach and the pain in his heart were unbearable, and his face felt cold and he didn't know what it was. It was not until he tasted something in his mouth and detected a faint salty taste that he realized it was tears.

"Gone? Where did you go?" He took a breath and said in a muffled voice, "I had forgotten that I drove you away. I drove you away, and you must be very happy in your heart. You must be thinking that you have finally gotten rid of me, and I will never bother you again... Today is your birthday, maybe the happiest day of your life... Did you make a wish that you never want to see me again, or forget me? I will forget you too... Life is so long, and I don't have to be with you. Who can say what will happen in the future? Maybe I will find another woman and fall in love with someone else again..."

That would be great if that were the case.

If one year doesn't work, then two years. If five years don't work, then ten years. One day he will remove Gu Wanqiu from his world. Even if he meets her in the future, he will not take her seriously.

The most familiar stranger is probably the highest state when you want to forget someone.

After Li Jinxing lay down completely, He Tian and Zhou Yi took him back to the room together.

Li Jinxing kept calling Gu Wanqiu's name in his sleep.

"Don't think about it, she's gone..." He Tian couldn't help but say.

Li Jinxing's current condition seems quite bad, but Gu Wanqiu's condition is many times worse than hers.

He Tian thought of that woman and was actually a little worried. He signaled Zhou Yi to go out with his eyes.

"I decided to go to Rongcheng to see Gu Wanqiu."

Zhou Yi frowned: "What are you looking at her doing?"

"Just to see how she's doing. I'll go alone, and you stay here to take care of the boss. If he asks about me, just make up an excuse, like a temporary business trip."

"good."

He Tian also drank a lot of wine, so he called a driver and didn't take the plane. He went directly to the high-speed rail station. The journey was more than ten hours, but the high-speed rail reduced the time by half.

When we arrived in Chengdu, it was already dawn. Today is October 1st, a new month.

When He Tian arrived at the place, he saw the camellia flowers in bloom in the yard at a glance. He had chosen this place, which was quiet and remote, suitable for recuperation.

There was indeed a selfish motive in choosing this place. It would be very difficult for Gu Wanqiu to leave since she was unfamiliar with the place. However, since she gave her money, she should understand what he meant and would not leave easily.

He could see every record of that bank card under his account. Not long after sending Gu Wanqiu here, the largest transaction was 120,000 yuan, and later there was a record of purchasing a car for 250,000 yuan.

It was clear without checking that Gu Wanqiu had hired someone to look after her. As for the initial transfer of 120,000 yuan, it was her salary. He investigated it in detail.

Seeing that it was a man, she was surprised. Gu Wanqiu actually found a man to take care of her? The man was quite young, and his identity and background were not simple.

However, the other party's identity does not conflict with the Li family. It's just that Gu Wanqiu directly transferred the money to him. Isn't he afraid of being cheated?

After that, there were some small transfers. From the simple transfer records and consumption records, He Tian roughly knew how Gu Wanqiu was doing. It seemed that life was not as difficult as he had imagined. Not long after that, Gu Wanqiu hired another female nurse.

She was a patient and two people were assigned to take care of her. He Tian couldn't help but think that she lived a comfortable life and had a handsome man to accompany her before she died.

She must have had a good birthday yesterday, at least she wasn't lonely.

With all sorts of thoughts in mind, He Tian went in and called out, "Is anyone there?"

It was quiet inside, and it didn't look like there was anyone there. It was already so late and the door was still closed. He Tian looked at his watch.

At this time, the door opened from the inside and a woman walked out.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

He Tian: "I'm looking for Gu Wanqiu, I'm her..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that the woman's eyes were very red and swollen, as if she had been crying for a long time.

When he mentioned Gu Wanqiu, he could clearly see that the woman's eyes became moist again, her face stiffened, she pursed her lips, and her breathing trembled.

He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Is Gu Wanqiu at home?"

The woman shook her head: "Miss Gu passed away yesterday..."

"Dead? How could she..." So soon? Didn't the doctor say she had a year to live? This only made up four months. How could she die so early?

He Tian thought she could last at least half a year.

He actually knew that Gu Wanqiu was in poor health. That day, when she was kneeling in the rose bushes in the rain looking for the ring, she kept coughing up blood.

Her five internal organs were infected. If she had been well cared for, she might have lived longer. Unfortunately, she suffered too much while being imprisoned in Qiule Manor, and her strong life was worn out.

If she had not been poisoned, given her physical condition at the time, she would not have lived a long life.

He Tian frowned. The fragrance of camellia wafted through the yard. He suddenly felt a little depressed. Finally, he sighed.

"Sir, are you Miss Gu's?"

He Tian replied, "I'll just consider myself her friend. Wasn't it her birthday yesterday?"

"Yes...you're late. If you came at eight or nine in the morning, maybe you could see her one last time."

"Can you tell me what happened to her?"

The woman was wary, but she didn't have much suspicion of He Tian.

"Come in, I'll pour you a cup of tea."

"No need for tea, I'll just drink hot water."

"Have you eaten?" asked the nurse.

"have eaten."

He had a box lunch on the high-speed train. It didn't taste very good, but it was just okay. He wasn't hungry now.

After the nurse brought him hot water, she sat beside him. She knew what to say and what not to say, so she did not tell anyone about "Li Jinxing". She only told him about Gu Wanqiu's symptoms. When she came here, Gu Wanqiu could no longer see, and his other senses also lost their function.

In other words, after Gu Wanqiu came here for a week or two, she could no longer see.

He thought about how Li Jinxing had been putting on shows on various occasions for so many days in order to maintain his so-called decency. Even if it was reported and broadcast on every TV station, Gu Wanqiu wouldn't be able to see it. So, was his efforts for more than a month in vain?

He Tian thought that Gu Wanqiu would die, but he didn't expect her to leave so soon.

It would be fine if Li Jinxing just ignored Gu Wanqiu and treated it as a rumor. But what if one day he suddenly became neurotic and wanted to investigate Gu Wanqiu? What would he do if he found out?

He Tian thought a lot and even wanted to find someone to play the role of Gu Wanqiu, and then arrange an accident when the time came.

"Sir..." The nurse saw that he was holding hot water in his hand with his head down, and had been maintaining this posture for a long time. He seemed to be thinking about something.

He Tian came back to his senses and put down the cup: "Thank you for telling me this. What about Gu Wanqiu's body after her death?"

"She was sent to the crematorium last night. There is another person taking care of Miss Gu."

"I know, his name is Chen Yan, right..."

Knowing even this, it seems that he is really Miss Gu's friend. The nurse nodded: "Miss Gu said before her death that she hoped her ashes would be buried in Haicheng. She wanted to go home. Mr. Shen should have taken her to Haicheng by now..."

He Tian fell silent again. He was just an irrelevant bystander, but when he heard this, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

Gu Wanqiu lay in bed in agony, her body twitching in pain, large mouthfuls of blood oozing from her nose and mouth. She grabbed the bed sheets with both hands, her nails turning white, and the blood vessels in her body protruding and black, as if they were about to burst.

He had such a big reaction after hearing all this, so what would Li Jinxing think after hearing it?

Even if Li Jinxing didn't know that Gu Wanqiu died to save him, he would still be devastated, right?

Even if he hated her, when he knew that this person suddenly left, there would probably be an empty place in his heart, a hollow pain.

He Tian stood up and said, "Thank you for telling me this. Since she has passed away, I will leave first..."

The nurse originally wanted to ask his name, but seeing that the other party was extraordinary, he was afraid that he would never have the chance to see him again in the future. Moreover, all the people in the "main storyline" were dead, and there was no need to contact them, as irrelevant supporting characters.

The nurse did not try to keep him and watched the man walk out.

…

On the other side, Shen Yan had already taken the urn to Haicheng.

Haicheng is much more prosperous than Chengdu. He stood outside the station in a daze, looking at everything around him.

This is Gu Wanqiu’s hometown, where she grew up.

He touched the urn and said seriously, "I brought you back..."

Gu Wanqiu had already started making arrangements for her afterlife before she died. Initially, she just asked Chen Yan to collect her body. As for the ashes, it was up to him whether to throw them away or bury them.

Chen Yan must want to find a good cemetery. Speaking of cemeteries, Gu Wanqiu seemed to remember something and a smile appeared on his face.

"The cemetery needs a tombstone, and we also need to choose a photo. I used to be so pretty, but now I look so ugly. It would be nice to have a photo from the past..." That was the real her, she had never had plastic surgery. Unfortunately, Chen Yan didn't know and couldn't find it. Only Li Jinxing had those photos, and he couldn't ask Li Jinxing for them.

As his health deteriorated and he got closer to death, Gu Wanqiu became more concerned about the arrangements after his death.

After thinking about it for many days, she finally decided to let Chen Yan take her ashes and bury them in the soil of Haicheng, so that they can become one with the land.
