Chapter 60

Wu Tong continued to cry. Xiao Yuncheng wiped away his tears with amusement and said softly, "Sir, are you so moved by your marriage?"

Wu Tong burst into laughter, nodded vigorously, and reached out to hug Xiao Yuncheng. Xiao Yuncheng hugged the person in his arms tightly, rubbed his neck, and said, "Baby, can you put the ring on me?"

Wu Tong took the other ring from his hand. He looked at it carefully, took Xiao Yuncheng's hand and put the ring on him. Wu Tong seemed to have discovered some secret. He put the two rings together and unexpectedly found that they attracted each other. Xiao Yuncheng corrected him, put his fingers into Wu Tong's hand, and interlocked their fingers. With a small "click", the two rings came together.

Wu Tong looked at the ring in the light of the fireworks. He found that the cloud pattern seemed to be seamlessly connected with the texture of the branches, giving a feeling of "clouds surrounding the phoenix tree". Xiao Yuncheng lowered his eyes to look at Wu Tong. In the light of the fireworks, Wu Tong's eyes were bright, and his pupils reflected the shape of the fireworks, blooming in his eyes.

"Do you like it?" Xiao Yuncheng asked.

"I like it, I really like it." Wu Tong raised his hand a little higher so that both of them could see the ring fitting together. Wu Tong smiled brightly and asked Xiao Yuncheng, "Did you design this?"

Xiao Yuncheng nodded. Wu Tong did not hide her admiration after learning about it: "It's so beautiful. I have never seen such a special ring."

Because it’s a ring, it has to be very special, Xiao Yuncheng thought.

He had been planning and designing this pair of rings two months ago. He drew them himself while Wu Tong was asleep. Perhaps it was really because he loved Wu Tong so much that his painting skills improved a lot. He even liked painting and designing jewelry for a while. Whenever he didn't know how to draw, he would go to Wu Tong, after all, he had a little painter at home.

Wu Tong suddenly realized: "So you stayed up late to draw this."

Xiao Yuncheng couldn't deny it. He hugged Wu Tong's waist tightly and felt his heart was filled.

"Brother, it's really a beautiful ring." It can be seen that Wu Tong really likes it. Xiao Yuncheng is also very happy. He said, "As long as you like it."

Xiao Yuncheng paused for a moment, then suddenly added, "Who said just now that they didn't want to stop here? They still want to go."

Wu Tong accepted the fact that he was bringing up the past. He held Xiao Yuncheng's face and said seriously, "I'm not leaving. You are my home."

Wu Tong only appeared in Xiao Yuncheng's life for a moment, but he became everything to Xiao Yuncheng.

"Baby." Xiao Yuncheng called Wu Tong in a sticky voice. Wu Tong hummed, and Xiao Yuncheng continued, "Do you want me to make you a necklace?"

"Why do you suddenly want to make a necklace for me?" Wu Tong didn't open his eyes, but he could still reply to Xiao Yuncheng's words. Xiao Yuncheng reached behind Wu Tong and played with his hair. He said, "That's right, I think you'll look good in a necklace."

Wu Tong nodded slightly and said, "Okay then, design me something nicer."

"That's for sure." Xiao Yuncheng kissed Wu Tong. Wu Tong put her hand on his chin and whispered, "Go to sleep."

As a painter, Wu Tong has an account on social media. It was a suggestion from a little girl when he was attending a fashion show: "Tongtong, why not try to create an account?"

Then Wu Tong registered an account, which he usually used to post his own drawings and some daily life stories. Surprisingly, his looks were very popular among young girls, and he gained a lot of fans.

But Wu Tong is not focused on these things after all, and he has released very few works. Since he opened his account, he has only released four works, nothing else.

One day, while Wu Tong was browsing, he found a post from someone asking if love was really that magical, that it could pull a wounded person out of darkness. The comments section was abuzz with opinions, and Wu Tong looked at Xiao Yuncheng beside him and smiled.

Of course, love is the best medicine for all scars.

Then Wu Tong released a new work for the first time, which was the two hearts he painted at different times, with the caption: love.

The dirty and broken heart is mended, the warmth of love is infused, filling all the cracks.

Xiao Yuncheng was not joking when he said he wanted to make a necklace for Wu Tong. He looked carefully at the draft of his design and felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't find what was wrong. After all, he didn't really know how to do it. His ability was there, and Xiao Yuncheng was powerless.

He put the draft book away and put it back on the desk, then went to the living room to find Wu Tong to "recharge", but he was nowhere to be seen. Wu Tong's coat was missing, so he must have gone out. Xiao Yuncheng took out his mobile phone to send him a message. A minute later, Wu Tong replied: I'm in the hospital.

"What's going on?"

Xiao Yuncheng hurried over from home, not even wearing a coat, only a thin turtleneck sweater. It was even snowing outside, but Xiao Yuncheng didn't feel the cold. He looked at the doctor beside him. The doctor felt his gaze and said, "You are Wu Tong's family member, right? Wu Tong's stomach cancer is worsening now, and we recommend that you be hospitalized."

Beep, beep—

Wu Tong lay quietly on the hospital bed, looking up at Xiao Yuncheng. Xiao Yuncheng had been holding his hand tightly and had never let go. Wu Tong looked at Xiao Yuncheng and felt like crying, but he couldn't. He could only move his fingers and gently stroke the back of Xiao Yuncheng's hand: "It's okay."

It's bound to come.

The doctor said that Wu Tong should have died long ago, but it was a miracle that his body could hold on until now, which was already at its limit. His stomach was almost ulcerated, which meant that Wu Tong was about to live to the end of his life.

Even though Xiao Yuncheng had known this day would come, he couldn't help crying. He hugged Wu Tong and cried heartbrokenly. Wu Tong lowered her eyes and patted his back again and again without saying anything. It would be useless to say anything now, but Wu Tong would always emphasize the same sentence: "Xiao Yuncheng, I love you."

Xiao Yuncheng cried for a few days, but he knew that crying was useless. In addition, he felt that it was better to spend more time with Wu Tong than to waste these days, so he began to adjust his mentality.

One day, Wu Tong was sitting at the head of the bed playing games, wondering what to do next, when he heard Shi Qian's voice. Wu Tong looked up and saw that Shi Qian was already in tears.

There's really going to be a flood here, Wu Tong thought helplessly.

But he still coaxed Shi Qian patiently. Shi Qian took the tissue handed to him by Lin Chen and wiped his face carelessly, choking and saying: "Tongtong, you...you must be happy in the rest of your time. If you want anything, you can tell us. If you want someone to accompany you, you can also tell me. I will definitely come."

"Okay, it's okay, don't cry." Wu Tong coaxed gently, and took out a few more tissues for him. Looking at the flat tissue box on the table, he complained: "These past few days, I've averaged one pack of tissues a day. I'm going to have a flood here."

Shi Qian was wiping his tears and laughed out loud when he heard this. Later, Shi Qian and Lin Chen stayed with Wu Tong until very late. Wu Tong was tired and fell asleep. Xiao Yuncheng returned to the ward after dealing with the matters at the police station. The three of them left the room and closed the door.

Lin Chen spoke first: "What did the doctor say?"

"One month." Xiao Yuncheng leaned against the wall with his head tilted back, feeling a little tired.

Shi Qian was silent for a while, then asked him, "So what are you going to do next?"

Xiao Yuncheng stared at the white stripes on the ceiling and said, "Tongtong said he wants to go home for two weeks and then come back to be hospitalized."

After saying that, he smiled bitterly and said, "I begged him for this. He didn't even plan to be hospitalized."

But not being hospitalized was simply unrealistic and would even accelerate the passing of life. Xiao Yuncheng still couldn't accept it and asked Wu Tong to be hospitalized. Wu Tong was silent for a long time before he said, "Xiao Yuncheng, I want to stay with you for a few more days."

Shi Qian couldn't help crying when he heard this, and he rushed into Lin Chen's arms. Lin Chen felt very sad, but now Xiao Yuncheng and Wu Tong had let it go. Xiao Yuncheng smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's take him to do something he wants to do in the end, isn't it?"

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with it.

Wu Tong was sleeping on the way home that day. Xiao Yuncheng would check on Wu Tong from time to time. He found that Wu Tong was losing weight very quickly. He had obviously worked hard to feed him to gain weight before, but now he had lost weight again. He was so skinny that he was just skin and bones. Xiao Yuncheng felt distressed when he saw him.

When Wu Tong returned home, he said he was too tired and wanted to sleep. Xiao Yuncheng coaxed him to take a shower first, and then he added another mattress to the bed while Wu Tong was taking a shower. After tidying up, Xiao Yuncheng sat on the edge of the bed, holding a small rectangular box in his hand, with his head down and in a daze.

Wu Tong wiped her hair and walked to his side. She noticed what he had in his hand and asked, "Brother, what is this?"

Xiao Yuncheng came back to his senses and looked up at Wu Tong. Although Wu Tong had lost weight very quickly, her appearance had not been ruined. Her face was still very beautiful, but not as soft as before. Xiao Yuncheng pulled Wu Tong into his arms, wrapped his whole body around Wu Tong, and protected him in his territory. Wu Tong laughed: "I didn't blow dry my hair."

"It's okay, I'll help you blow it." Xiao Yuncheng took the towel from his hand and put it on his shoulder. He put the box in front of Wu Tong and said with a smile: "Guess what it is?"

Wu Tong thought for a moment and guessed something, but Xiao Yuncheng denied his answer. Xiao Yuncheng raised his chin towards the box and said, "Open it and take a look."

Wu Tong took the box and opened it carefully. There was a necklace inside.

"Did you really do it?" Wu Tong took out the necklace in surprise, but found that there was a ring in the center of the necklace, but nothing was there. He turned to Xiao Yuncheng and asked, "Did it fall off?"

"No." Xiao Yuncheng took his hand with the ring and put his ring on the necklace. They actually blended together perfectly.
