Chapter 651 The terminally ill rich girl (16)

Shi Yi woke up at 5:40 in the morning.

Wei Lan had fallen asleep beside her bed, and Zou Xiuyu stared at her bed with his eyes wide open, his eyes empty and confused.

Shi Yi quietly got out of bed and walked towards him.

"Shi Yi..."

"Shh."

Shi Yi covered his lips and looked at Wei Lan who was sleeping quietly.

Zou Xiuyu knew that she meant not to wake Wei Lan, so he nodded obediently and followed her out of the ward.

The sky was already half bright before six o'clock. On the distant horizon, white clouds had already risen into the sky. Behind it, it seemed that something was about to break through the white. It seemed to indicate that everything would be clearly revealed under this bright white light.

"Put on my shoes." Zou Xiuyu shook his shoes, which were still wet on his feet, frowned, took off his coat that he had dried with his body temperature, and took the initiative to put it under her feet.

"Zou Xiuyu, thank you." Shi Yi looked into his eyes and said the words "thank you" seriously.

Zou Xiuyu's ears turned red as he looked to the side. The cleaning lady in the hospital had already washed up and was ready to start work.

"I know the truth about everything." Shi Yi looked at the horizon in the distance. The sun was about to rise, and some things should be revealed clearly.

Zou Xiuyu panicked. He was afraid that she knew what he wanted to say, and he was also afraid that she knew what he had not done. Before he heard her say what she knew, he pretended to be calm and said, "What do you know?"

"Do you really want to hear it?" Shi Yi looked at him gently. He clearly saw that there was no blame in her eyes. He asked inexplicably, "Don't you hate me?"

"Hate?" Shi Yi looked up at the horizon and whispered, "How can I not hate you? I thought you would be the right person in my life, but you did all this to deceive me."

"I didn't mean it." Zou Xiuyu never felt that words were as pale as they are now. He hesitated and said, "I just... just..."

"It's just a moment of infatuation, right?" The smile on Shi Yi's cheek was like a faint cloud floating in the sky. "I have money, but I have a terminal illness, so I am the best target. As long as you give me a little care and love, I can pour all my accumulated love into you."

Zou Xiuyu wanted to interrupt her, but she stretched out her hand to stop him, looking into his eyes, and said word by word, "As you wish, I do love you."

Zou Xiuyu's heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp awl, and blood flowed out continuously. However, this blood could not kill him, but it was enough to make him hurt for a long time.

He stuttered. "I'm not... not..."

"You may have liked me for a moment, right?" Shi Yi retracted her smiling eyes, with a faint smile hanging on her lips, but it seemed so far away from her, "But all these likes can't compare to the love between you and Zhu Jin. How long have you been with Zhu Jin? Can you tell me sincerely?"

Zou Xiuyu's heart sank completely. At this moment, he knew that she already knew all his plans with Zhu Jin.

"You and Zhu Jin, how well matched. One is a painter, and the other is a lady from a wealthy family. But I have such a limited life, why did you come to provoke me? My heart hurts so much." Shi Yi covered her heart and slid to the corner of the wall weakly. The look in her eyes when she looked at Zou Xiuyu was so miserable, so helpless, so helpless, so hesitant and sad. Zou Xiuyu heard her voice clearly falling in his ears. She said, "Zou Xiuyu, I love you so much. I don't want to love you anymore."

"No." He spoke subconsciously, but the girl buried her head between her legs and cried.

"Shiyi, listen to my explanation. Please listen to my explanation." He didn't know what he should say at all. But he felt that the truth about her plot would hurt her more if it was spoken out.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the girl's sobbing became clearer and clearer. After a long time, it seemed like just a moment. The girl raised her head, with obvious red circles under her eyes, "Zou Xiuyu, please tell me a way to forget you, please."

"Shiyi, don't do this. Don't." How he wanted to reach out and hug her.

Hold her in his arms, comfort her word by word, carefully, smooth out every wrinkle between her eyebrows, and press down every wrinkle in her heart, but if he really did this, it would hurt her more deeply.

"Zou Xiuyu, please leave here. Take Zhu Jin away from here. Go live a new life, and don't let me see you again. I don't want to see you at all. Let's just pretend we have never met." The girl's expression was so serious that Zou Xiuyu's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

She did nothing wrong, it was him and Zhu Jin who were wrong. Why should she bear all this pain alone?

"Shi Yi..." He felt that he was not qualified to call her so intimately, and changed his words to "Miss Wan."

"Look, I'm just Miss Wan." The girl's self-deprecating smile sprinkled salt on the wound in his heart.

"Miss Wan, you are not wrong. I am wrong." Zou Xiuyu raised his hand to his nose. He was afraid that his nose would be sour and he would cry accidentally. "I was wrong to plot against you. You are a very good girl. Really, very, very good. Anyone would like you. No man can resist your charm."

Zou Xiuyu thought of the scene when they went to the provincial capital to see paintings together: she wore a white skirt, held a parasol, and walked freely on the street with him; she liked all the new things on the street, and when she saw something fun and delicious, she would take him with her; she could clearly tell the origin of each painting and the mentality of the writer when creating it; she knew all the artworks in the exhibition like the back of her hand...

She was sunny, lively, knowledgeable, and elegant, like the unattainable daffodil. And he, Zou Xiuyu, was just a waterweed growing on the mud at the bottom of the water. He had always been trying to get close to her.

The early morning sun broke through the clouds, and the dazzling golden light sprinkled on the girl who stood up. Zou Xiuyu closed his eyes for a moment, and the words in his ears became clearer, "Zou Xiuyu, promise me that you will forget me."

"No, I won't promise. I haven't been forgiven for the wrong things I did." Zou Xiuyu stretched out his hand eagerly to catch her, but he saw her walking farther and farther barefoot.

He wanted to catch up with her so much, but his legs were so soft that he couldn't even muster any strength.
