Xu Chuxiao's despairing expression made Liu Jin feel uncomfortable.
But in order to prevent Xu Chuxiao from being trapped in the past, she had to weave such a lie.
It’s better to be sad for a while than to be stuck for a lifetime.
But she underestimated Xu Chuxiao's persistence.
After a moment, Xu Chuxiao raised his head and looked into her eyes intently.
"I don't believe it."
"What?"
Xu Chuxiao repeated word for word, "I don't believe she is dead."
How could she die before he found her or made amends to her?
Liu Jin seemed to understand why the Xu family wanted to stop Xu Chuxiao from looking for someone. His condition was too scary.
Like an incurable patient, she is the medicine, even crazier than she was many years ago.
But this matter was started by her, and it should be ended by her.
"The fact is the fact, whether you believe it or not, she is dead and will never come back!"
She could only speak more sternly to make Xu Chuxiao give up.
Liu Jin pried his hand apart, took two steps, turned back and said, "She told me about you."
"Really? What did she say?" Hope rekindled in Xu Chuxiao's eyes and he looked at Liu Jin expectantly.
"She said that she hoped that after she died you would stop thinking about her and just live your own life."
“I don’t believe it—!”
"Whether you believe it or not, these are her exact words. She also hopes that you can get over it as soon as possible and start over. She...she will be watching you from heaven."
No matter what Liu Jin said, Xu Chuxiao kept repeating that he didn't believe it.
He was about to force Liu Jin to tell him more details about the man, but Liu Jin left despite his attempt to stop him.
"Stop, stop right there!!"
Xu Chuxiao wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by his assistant.
"Mr. Xu, she has already said that the person you are looking for is dead. Why can't you accept it?"
Xu Chuxiao stared at Liu Jin's leaving back with wide eyes.
Something is wrong.
The assistant didn't see Xu Chuxiao's eyes and was still trying to persuade him earnestly, "Mr. Xu, I know this is hard for you to accept. But you still have to believe it. The person you have been looking for for so many years is really dead."
"impossible."
Xu Chuxiao returned to the hospital, and he was much more awake than at the beginning.
If what Liu Jin said was true, then why did Liu Jin keep hesitating when they met?
There must be something behind this matter, and Liu Jin left in a hurry because he was harboring a secret.
"Go check this woman out. I want to know all her information."
The assistant was helpless, "Mr. Xu, is it useful for you to check her?"
After Xu Chuxiao gave him a look, the assistant no longer dared to refuse.
"Yes, I'll check."
Liu Jin still felt a lingering fear after running downstairs.
Xu Chuxiao was actually so paranoid for her. I just hope he won't be so obsessed after today.
Let the past be the past, and let us go our separate ways from now on.
Liu Jin covered her heart and left the hospital in a daze, not noticing Huo Yuli who passed by her.
Huo Yuli came to the hospital carrying the strawberries that Jiang Siyu had specifically requested, and saw a familiar face at the hospital gate.
He suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did that woman look so familiar? She looked like... Liu Chunhua!
When he suddenly turned around, Liu Jin was no longer in the crowd.
He looked for a long time but couldn't find it, so he had to give up and went to Jiang Siyu's ward with a frown.
"Yu Li, thank you for going out of your way to buy strawberries for me."
Jiang Siyu hugged Huo Yuli's arm and giggled. Seeing his serious expression, she asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look like that? Are you too tired from work?"
She was about to display her kindness and gentleness, but she heard Huo Yuli ask her, "Is your mother really dead?"
Jiang Siyu's heart skipped a beat and she nervously pinched the strawberry bag.
"Of course, why would I lie to you? Or do you want to see my mother's death certificate?"
She deliberately sounded sad, and Huo Yuli pursed his lips.
"That's not what I meant."
Huo Yuli was full of doubts. Why did he see the dead Liu Chunhua?
Or...is he dazzled?
"Yu Li, what happened?" Jiang Siyu asked softly.
Huo Yuli would definitely not ask about Liu Chunhua for no reason, unless he knew something.
Could it be that Liu Huanyi came to see him?
Jiang Siyu was highly alert, staring into Huo Yuli's eyes.
"Just now I saw someone who looked like your mother at the hospital entrance."
It turned out that I only saw Liu Chunhua.
Jiang Siyu immediately denied it, "You must have seen it wrong. My mother died in that fire. How could she suddenly come back to life and appear in front of you? You must have been too tired recently, so you mistook her for her."
"Well, maybe."
The dead cannot be resurrected, so no matter how you think about it, it is most likely that you are wrong. Coupled with Jiang Siyu's solemn promise, Huo Yuli could only put this doubt aside for the time being.
"I really want to eat strawberries. Can you wash some for me?"
Jiang Siyu pushed the strawberries into his arms and coquettishly urged him to wash them in order to change the subject.
Huo Yuli looked at the water column, and the face he had just seen appeared in his mind again.
But are there really people in this world who look so similar?
When Huo Yuli turned around, Jiang Siyu's expression changed, and the corners of his mouth, which had just been raised, immediately drooped.
Damn Liu Chunhua!
If they met again in the hospital, her lies would be exposed.
Huo Yuli had just agreed to consider getting engaged. If she knew now that she was lying to him, she would never be able to marry into the Huo family in her lifetime!
No, the hospital is too dangerous, she has to leave immediately.
When Huo Yuli came back with the strawberries, Jiang Siyu softly told him her plan.
"Yu Li, can you help me with the discharge procedures? I want to go back to school."
Huo Yuli stuffed the strawberry into her arms and said, "Are you sure your body has recovered?"
Of course she couldn't say she had recovered, otherwise Huo Yuli would not agree with her.
"I asked the doctor, and he said I could be discharged from the hospital. As long as I don't get stimulated again, I'll be fine."
But Huo Yuli saw that her symptoms of anxiety and fear had not changed at all, so she would fall into the same old habits again soon after being discharged from the hospital.
"You should stay in the hospital for a while longer. Don't worry about being alone. I will come to see you often when I am free."
Jiang Siyu rolled her eyes and said in a kind voice, "It's mainly because after Luo Yu and the others told me about Liu Huanyi, I felt very uneasy. She was attacked by so many rumors because of me. The longer I stay in the hospital, the more they scold Liu Huanyi."
“So that’s why.”
Huo Yuli looked at her with a little more appreciation, she was indeed the girl he had been thinking about.
"It's good to be kind, but your body..."
This is Jiang Siyu's purpose. The more kind Huo Yuli thinks she is, the more vicious Liu Huanyi seems!
"She and I are classmates. Unless it's something particularly outrageous, I will give in to her. Although I had a depression attack because of her this time, I am fine now. If I go back earlier, my classmates will see that I have recovered and they will no longer blame her, and we can all get along peacefully."
Huo Yuli was deeply moved by her kind and well-behaved appearance.
"Since you have made up your mind, you can be discharged from the hospital first, but you still have to continue taking the medicine."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. After all, I will be the one standing shoulder to shoulder with you in the future." Jiang Siyu smiled freely and carefree. In a trance, Huo Yuli seemed to see her childhood shadow again.
