Chapter 81 What If, What If

"......"

Silence fell on both ends of the phone call.

Cheng Jia remained silent, while Shi Qingci waited at the traffic light.

Cheng Jia thought for a long time, then swallowed the porridge in her mouth: "...If, I mean if, if I were with you now, in two or three years, I..."

"Hmm," Shi Qingci responded, indicating that he was listening.

Cheng Jia took a deep breath: "What would you do if I got cancer like my parents?"

“Impossible,” Shi Qingci said. “You are healthy, and I am healthy too.”

He has a medical check-up every year, and last time he had Lin Baiyue's help.

I obtained all of Cheng Jia's medical examination results.

Everything is normal.

Apart from a stomach ulcer, Cheng Jia is in good health.

Shi Qingci was confident that she could help Cheng Jia cure her stomach ailment.

The doctor also said that stomach ulcers are not a very serious disease, and there are many cases of successful treatment in clinical practice. Just pay more attention to your diet and you will be fine.

"......"

Clearly, the porcelain of the Qing dynasty did not accept this assumption.

I think they are both healthy.

Knowing about his illness, Cheng Jia could only ask again, "I mean, what would you do if I slowly walked towards death?"

Judging from the current situation, Shi Qingci is clingy and can't live without him.

What will happen to Qingci after he dies?

It must be very sad.

“I don’t know,” Shi Qingci frowned. “Why bring up this hypothetical scenario? Let me ask you, if I had cancer right now and wouldn’t live more than two months, what would you do?”

"!" A completely new perspective.

Cheng Jia had never considered this question.

After the initial shock, I began to think.

He slowly said, biting the spoon, "...I guess I'll stop caring about anything else, stay by your side every step of the way, and then it won't matter anymore."

If Shi Qingci died of cancer.

Cheng Jia doesn't know whether she will meet a new lover in the future or grow old alone.

But Shi Qingci must be the most unforgettable person in his life.

He will carry the memories of the two of them into a new life.

Or perhaps they become obsessed with the past until they die.

All of these can be attributed to—

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter if he's the only one left.

"You love me that much? If I got cancer, you would stay by my side every step of the way. I wish I could have cancer and experience it." Shi Qingci smiled.

Cheng Jia froze for two seconds before yelling into the phone, "Are you out of your mind?! How can you say something like that?"

"What's wrong? Weren't you joking about cancer?" Shi Qingci didn't understand why Cheng Jia was suddenly angry, but she quickly realized what was going on.

Cheng Jia's parents died of cancer.

Cancer is not a disease to be joked about.

Behind this are countless broken families.

Shi Qingci's smile faded, and she said seriously, "I think the same way as you. If you get sick, I will stay by your side every step of the way. Whether rich or poor, healthy or sick, nothing can separate us. It's a bit of a corny wedding vow, but I mean it."

"But, watching me leave little by little will make you very sad, is that okay?" Cheng Jia asked, her nose stinging with tears.

He's already reluctant to leave even before he's fallen ill and been hospitalized.

if you can.....

Cheng Jiaduo hopes that she is healthy.

Shi Qingci countered, "Would you stop spending time with me just because you're sad? Isn't it true that the saddest thing is not being able to be with the other person?"

Whether the one is sick or healthy.

They all want to be with each other.

This is the meaning of family or lovers.

No one should refrain from loving because they are afraid of pain.

"...If I get sick but don't want you to be sad, I'll hide it from you and not let you stay with me," Cheng Jia asked again.

The implication in those words is quite obvious.

He was no longer afraid that Shi Qingci would find out about his illness.

Because Shi Qingci's feedback to him has always been very firm.

They never thought about separating.

"......"

"......"

Shi Qingci took one minute.

He parked his car on the side of the road and took out Cheng Jia's medical examination report from his phone.

Read through the data, cell by cell, until the last page.

It is 100% certain that Cheng Jia is healthy and has no physical abnormalities.

He replied to Cheng Jia, "Then I will absolutely hate you, hate you so much that I'll kill myself and become a ghost, and I'll chase you down even in the underworld."

“You have deprived me of the right to be with my loved one in his final moments. This is a very deep hatred, greater than the hatred you showed me five years ago when you abandoned me.”

"You look down on me, do you think I'm afraid?"

"I could be so regretful that I'd commit suicide on the spot!"

If Cheng Jia conceals her illness.

One day, news of Shi Qingci's death was suddenly delivered.

Shi Qingci committed suicide on the spot without the slightest hesitation.

He would hate himself for not noticing anything amiss and for not being there for Cheng Jia on her final journey.

Irreversible regrets are more painful than separation.

It's ten thousand times more painful.

"......"

"Shi Qingci," Cheng Jia couldn't swallow the porridge in his mouth, his voice trembling with a hint of a sob. He swallowed hard several times before saying, "You, drive carefully, I'm hanging up."

He hung up the phone immediately after saying that.

But Cheng Jia decided to go to the hospital for a physical examination the day after tomorrow.

He will show the medical examination report to Shi Qingci when it comes out.

No matter how painful the days ahead may be.

Shi Qingci's words just now gave Cheng Jia unparalleled courage. Things had come to this point, and he had to face it, even if he couldn't.

He is not alone.

At least, there are still Qing dynasty porcelain pieces.

A bowl of porridge, half a bowl of tears.

Cheng Jia suppressed her sobs, her voice trembling. She sat alone in her bedroom, her fingers unable to hold the bowl of porridge. She put the bowl down, covered her face with her hands, her heart filled with resentment, fear, and helplessness.

I just hate that cancer exists in the world.

It destroyed his home.

And his entire life!

"......"

The call was disconnected.

Shi Qingci frowned as she looked at the call screen.

What exactly happened to Cheng Jia?

Ask some strange questions.

oh.

Is this a test before marriage?

Cheng Jia felt insecure and worried that if she lived with two men, she wouldn't have any security if she got sick in her old age, which is why she asked him that question.

This was the only answer that Shi Qingci could think of.

He fell into deep thought...

How can I give Cheng Jia a sense of security?

This reassured Cheng Jia that no matter how old they got, Cheng Jia would always be his only family member.

Unique and indispensable.

Shi Qing Porcelain needs to take action.

We must burn our bridges once and for all!
