Nothing was more important than his sister, so why couldn't he understand that back then? Why did he drive her to such a dead end?

Leaving here is the right thing to do.

Don't disturb her peaceful life.

Don't be the source of her pain anymore.

Qin Xu thought he shouldn't appear in front of her anymore, but even as his vomiting worsened and he vomited blood, he still returned to Haishi, wanting to get closer to her.

Even if he couldn't see her, just the thought of being in the same city as her made the last period of his life less unbearable.

Before returning to Haishi, Qin Xu arranged to meet with Jiang Qingtang.

Now, only Chen Kangxu is left by her side.

He admitted that Chen Kangxu was a good person.

But his parents were not kind people.

Because she had a gambling-addicted father and a lazy mother, and a younger brother who needed her financial support, Chen's mother didn't want her to get too close to Chen Kangxu back then, and now she even had another man's child.

If Chen's mother knew that she was entangled with Chen Kangxu, regardless of whether Chen Kangxu was the one pursuing her, she would probably blame her.

She gave Jiang Qingtang a heads-up.

If she can withstand Chen's mother's sarcastic remarks, she can continue to get close to Chen Kangxu. If she doesn't want to cause any more trouble, she should keep a certain distance from Chen Kangxu.

His gaze was fixed on the child in her arms. The child's round eyes stared at him, and he gave him a bright smile that made drool drip from his mouth.

Jiang Qingtang didn't understand why the other person spoke in such a familiar tone.

She and Qin Xu had long lost contact.

Logically, because of Qin Yue, he shouldn't have been very friendly to her, but he treated her like a friend, planning her future.

"I don't know why you're telling me this, or what you heard or found out. Anyway, my relationship with Kang Xu isn't what you think. I just see him as an older brother."

She treated Chen Kangxu like an older brother.

The other party just wants to be a cheap father.

That's all she has to say. Whether she keeps her distance from Chen Kangxu or continues their relationship this way is entirely up to her.

He thought for a moment, then added, "Qi Jingchen is getting married in September."

He knew that the child had been born without Qi Jingchen's knowledge.

Whether she wants her child to acknowledge this father or not is her own choice.

Her heart tightened suddenly, and she paused in wiping the child's drool. She then lowered her eyelids and asked, "Why are you telling me all this?"

"I'm dying."

She suddenly looked up.

What did he say?

Qin Xu calmly took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Cancer, late stage, I don't have many days left to live. I just want to see my friends one last time before I die and tell them some things. After all, we are friends. I'm not saying this for any other reason, and I don't have any malicious intent. I just want to tell you this."

...

Fang Sheng went to the airport to pick up Qin Xu.

Seeing Qin Xu's condition startled me.

He asked Fang Sheng to drive the car to the Qin family's gate.

Qin Xu did not get out of the car.

Looking out the car window at the location of Qin Yue's room.

I dare not get off the bus.

Let her keep her most beautiful image in her heart.

The car remained parked outside the Qin family's house for a long time, until the lights on the second floor were turned off, before he said to his childhood friend, "Let's go."

Fang Sheng glanced at him through the rearview mirror, but did not do as he was told. Instead, he unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car amidst Qin Xu's questioning, ran to the Qin family's gate, and rang the Qin family's doorbell.

Qin Xu grabbed his arm and shouted in a low voice, "What are you doing!"

"If you want to see them, why are you doing it secretly?" he said, shaking off Qin Xu's arm and frantically ringing the Qin family's doorbell. "Your surname is Qin, you are a member of the Qin family. They are your parents who raised you for nearly twenty years. Even if they were just a cat or a dog, you would have feelings for them. So what if you cut off the relationship? Can the past be erased? If it could, you wouldn't be here."

Qin Xu's life has been miserable enough. He's only twenty-three years old, and his life is about to end before it even begins.

At least make sure you don't have any regrets in the remaining time.

Qin Xu gripped his arm tightly, his eyes bloodshot, and said, "It's me who wants to see them, not them who want to see me. I did something wrong, so it's understandable that they don't want to acknowledge me."

“We’ve come this far, what mistake can’t be forgiven?” Fang Sheng ignored his obstruction and pressed the doorbell.

The two people arguing outside the Qin family's front door stopped when it was opened.

Despite saying he didn't need it and didn't dare to see them, Qin Xu looked expectantly towards the door.

The person who came out was the family's housekeeper.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood. Even though she knew that Qin's mother had told her not to let Qin Xu into the house, seeing Qin Xu's current condition, the aunt still couldn't bear it. She asked them to wait a while, and then ran over to inform Qin's father and mother.

The two men who were unwilling to see him relented and let him in when they heard that Qin Xu was ill.

Qin Xu sat awkwardly in the living room like a guest, occasionally glancing cautiously at the stairwell.

"How long has it been?" Mr. Qin's brow furrowed, his hand trembling as he lit a cigarette, his voice unsteady. "What did the doctor say?"

"It's been two months." He was thin and bony, holding a cup of tea in his hands. He lowered his eyelids and replied in a hoarse voice, "Treatment is just about spending money to prolong life."

He dared not look into Qin's father's eyes; he felt guilty and remorseful.

"We'll pay to keep him alive, we'll get him treated." Qin's mother immediately chimed in, "Are you out of money? Your father and I still have some."

Qin Xu shook his head: "It's because I don't want to be treated."

“Uncle and Aunt, you don’t know, he won’t even go to the hospital. If he had listened to the doctor earlier and received proper treatment, he wouldn’t be like this now. He just won’t listen. You must persuade him. He only listens to you now.”

Qin Xu said coldly, "Fang Sheng, shut up."

Fang Sheng was furious.

"What did I say wrong? You want me to shut up? Then go to the hospital."

"Mom and Dad, don't listen to their nonsense. I went to the hospital, but it was discovered too late. There's no possibility of a cure. Whether we treat it or not..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Qin Yue coming down from upstairs. His words stopped abruptly. He stood up, holding his teacup, his lips moving, but he didn't know what to call her.

"Go get treatment," Qin Yue said, her first words being just that.
