Chapter 220 Shen Yubai is sick
Li Ruochu gently closed the box, his movements slow and firm, as if he was putting a full stop to a past relationship.
She stretched out her hand and handed the necklace back to Shen Yubai again, her eyes calm but unquestionable: "You should give this necklace to someone else, it's not appropriate for you to give it to me!
"At this moment, she no longer had the attachment to Shen Yubai in her heart. All she had left was the relief from the past and the expectation for the future.
"This necklace was originally designed for you." Shen Yubai did not take the necklace, but just looked at Li Ruochu quietly, his eyes full of complex emotions, memories, regrets, and a hint of relief. "It would be even more inappropriate to give it to someone else! Just think of it as a wedding gift from me to you two in advance!"
His voice trembled slightly, as if he was trying hard to suppress the emotional waves deep in his heart.
After saying this, he slowly turned his gaze to Feng Yizhou with a faint smile on his face, as if he was sincerely blessing both of them.
Feng Yizhou was originally leaning leisurely on the sofa, but when he heard Shen Yubai's words, his eyes moved slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He really couldn't figure out what was wrong with this man.
When he saw Shen Yubai just now, the expression on his face was like that of a furious husband who came to catch an adulterer, emitting suppressed anger and jealousy.
But at this moment, he seemed to have suddenly transformed into a friend who could calmly send them his blessings. The speed of the change caught Feng Yizhou off guard.
Feng Yizhou carefully looked at the haggard look on Shen Yubai's face, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is this man really sick?
Shen Yubai's face was as pale as paper, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he had not had a good rest for a long time. His originally bright eyes now looked dull and lifeless, and his whole body exuded a sense of weakness and fatigue.
"Feng Yizhou, it was me who did something wrong to Chuchu," Shen Yubai said slowly, his voice full of self-blame and guilt, "that's why you had the opportunity to take advantage of her! But I still hope you can treat her well!"
His eyes were sincere and earnest, staring at Feng Yizhou closely, as if he wanted to engrave this instruction deeply into his heart.
After hearing this, Feng Yizhou was stunned at first, then frowned.
He felt that Shen Yubai's behavior today was too abnormal, and the doubts in his heart became stronger.
He stood up, walked in front of Shen Yubai, stretched out his hand and gently pinched Shen Yubai's face, and said half-jokingly: "What's going on with you? If you don't know, you would think you are making a will here!"
Feng Yizhou tried to break the depressing and strange atmosphere with this slightly teasing way, and at the same time wanted to find out the real reason why Shen Yubai was so abnormal from his reaction.
Chen Yubai gave a bitter smile, which was full of bitterness and helplessness, as if it was a powerless mockery of fate: "If you say so, then so!" He lowered his head slightly, as if he didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of Li Ruochu and Feng Yizhou.
"Chen Yubai, what happened to you!" Li Ruochu's eyes were full of worry. She took a step forward and asked anxiously, feeling vaguely that Shen Yubai seemed to have encountered something extremely serious.
"Chu Chu, I'm sick," Shen Yubai slowly raised his head, his eyes full of pain and despair, his voice became hoarse and trembling, "I don't know if I still have the energy to live! But before I die, I still can't let you go! I hope you can live a happier life, happier!"
When he said this, his throat seemed to be choked by something and he choked a little, his voice full of deep guilt towards Li Ruochu.
Once upon a time, he destroyed the happiness between them with his own hands. Now facing the end of his life, the guilt became stronger and stronger, almost drowning him.
Li Ruochu's face was filled with shock, his eyes wide open, looking at Shen Yubai in disbelief: "How could this happen? How could you get sick out of nowhere!"
Her mind was in a mess. The news was like a bombshell that exploded in her heart in an instant, leaving her a little overwhelmed.
"This is probably my retribution," Shen Yubai smiled bitterly, with a hint of self-mockery in his eyes, "I have done so many evil things, God is going to take me back!"
He took a deep breath, as if trying to calm the pain and helplessness in his heart.
Shen Yubai's stomach has never been in good condition. When he was with Li Ruochu before, she always took care of him meticulously.
I prepare different kinds of stomach-nourishing food for him every day and remind him to eat on time and pay attention to his daily routine.
But since the two of them divorced, Shen Yubai's life seemed to be in chaos.
His daily routine is extremely irregular. He often stays up late to handle company affairs and often goes out for social events and drinks.
In order to close the deal, he drank one glass after another, completely ignoring his body's protests.
Over time, the already fragile stomach could not bear the burden and stomach problems became more and more serious.
When he went for a check-up some time ago, the doctor told him in a heavy voice that he had stomach cancer. This news was like a bolt from the blue, shattering his world in an instant.
"Then why are you still talking here? Go to the hospital for surgery!" Li Ruochu said anxiously, with a hint of blame in her voice. She really thought that Shen Yubai was crazy.
You have already encountered such a life-and-death situation, why don’t you get proper treatment?
Why do you have to come here and say all this nonsense, wasting precious treatment time.
"I know you can live happily with Feng Yizhou, so I feel relieved!" Shen Yubai raised his head slightly, his eyes full of relief and blessings, "When you get married, I will give you a surprise!"
His voice was weak but firm.
When Shen Yubai finished speaking, he slowly stood up. His body was trembling slightly, as if every movement had exhausted all his strength.
He gave Li Ruchu one last affectionate look, his eyes filled with attachment, guilt and blessings.
This glance seemed to engrave Li Ruchu's appearance deeply in his heart.
Then he turned around and walked out with a staggering step.
Li Ruochu looked at Shen Yubai's departing back, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.
Although she and Shen Yubai have divorced, their past relationship has long become a thing of the past.
But when I heard the news, I still found it hard to accept!
How could a once vibrant man, a man with whom she had spent countless times, suddenly get this disease?
She felt mixed emotions, including sympathy and pity for Shen Yubai, as well as regret and helplessness about the fickleness of fate.
