Chapter 99 Chapter 99 One Thousand Five Hundred and Ten Steps...

Just as everyone was stunned by this sudden situation, suddenly, outside this remote suburb, the originally moving dark clouds, the rustling leaves, the surprised expressions of the people, and the raindrops sliding across their cheeks all stopped.

The world seemed to freeze for a moment. A moment later, the space around the ground seemed to distort, and a black vortex slowly emerged, like a vast portal through time and space. Then, a pale, thin man emerged from the vortex. The fierce wind still had an effect on him, blowing the hem of his garment like a piece of woven crow feathers.

Alpha slowly approached the boy who was about to fall to the ground. His slender fingertips gently wiped away the frozen tears from the corners of his eyes and he sighed softly, "510, I have given you a second life."

If someone were to break free from this strange and mysterious power at this moment, they would be absolutely dumbfounded when they saw this scene, because this man was actually floating in mid-air!

Alpha raised his eyebrows slightly, looked up, and his gaze fell on Zhao Jingqun, who was also motionless in mid-air, as if he was looking at the wild flowers and grasses among the countless creatures on the roadside.

He sighed softly, "If he died, you would be very sad. After all, you have become a real human being..."

With a barely audible sigh, Alpha scooped Tao Ning up in her arms, kissed his sleepy face, and laid him on the life-saving mat. She turned around and pointed in Zhao Jingqun's direction.

The next second, with a bang, Zhao Jingqun fell to the ground from a height of two or three meters.

Alpha's voice faded, and along with it, the black vortex behind him. Gradually, the wind and rain resumed their swaying, the leaves rustled again, and countless raindrops once again streaked across people's faces, awakening the stunned expressions of those present.

"See you in the future, my muse."

…

People looked at each other in confusion.

"...What just happened?"

"I remember all three of them jumped off the building."

"Hurry! Save them!"

"Where's the ambulance? The suspect is already beyond saving, but the other two are still breathing!"

Three days later, the neighborhood was buzzing with explosive news. People were asking their neighbors, relatives, and friends, "Did you hear? There's a kidnapping and murder in that unfinished building outside North City. A lot of police and firefighters were there. It's as dramatic as a TV drama, and every TV show needs a copy of that."

"I'm a little scared. Will the kidnapper come after me in the future?"

"Haha, you poor bastard! They kidnapped the richest man in Star City, Province X. Who would want a screwdriver like you? Even if you begged the kidnappers to kill him, they wouldn't even bother to pay attention to you..."

"You're still the richest man? You're just talking nonsense without any evidence."

"...Are you two normal people? If twelve years of compulsory education were universal, you would have to go to preschool for the rest of your lives. Is the point about kidnapping? The point is that this case is particularly weird—"

On the TV news, the host was reporting the latest news: "First, let's focus on a case reported by the police. According to the police report, a major kidnapping case occurred five days ago in the suburbs of Beicheng District, Haizhou City. The suspect is Zhao from X Province, and the kidnapped victim is an eighteen-year-old male. The police have established a special task force and are fully investigating..."

With a click, the TV screen went out. Sun Laoer threw away the remote control and then used a cotton swab to wet the dry lips of the man on the bed. He shook his head and sighed, "Brother Zhao, you really must have survived a disaster this time. You fell from a fifteen-story building and only suffered a minor fracture..."

Five days ago, after Sun Laoer had settled He Nian Nian, he received the news that Zhao Jingqun had jumped from the fifteenth floor. He was completely stunned because his absurd idea that "if Tao Ning died, Zhao Jingqun would never live" had actually come true. He was such a pessimist!

Sun Laoer slapped himself several times on the spot, then hurried to the hospital, desperately hoping to see a dead body. But what surprised him and everyone else was that after the diagnosis came out, Zhao Jingqun was not only not dead, but was only slightly injured!

What's the concept? It's like being run over by a truck and coming out unscathed, then turning around and buying a lottery ticket and winning $5 million! So lucky that some people even think it's a supernatural event...

When Zhao's father and mother, who were far away in Province X, received the news, they flew over overnight and hugged Zhao Jingqun and cried bitterly. After all, no matter how much they complained about their son, he was the son they had been looking for for many years.

Sun Laoer hadn't seen Zhao Jingqun, and he finally managed to persuade Zhao's parents to go back to the hotel to rest. Now there was only a nurse and he to take care of Zhao Jingqun. He heard the news on TV, and because he didn't want to be bothered by it, Sun Laoer simply turned it off.

Looking at the pale man lying on the hospital bed, Sun Laoer smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhao, if you don't wake up, someone will take you away for perverted human body research, and your sister-in-law too..." As if he really heard his words, the man who had been unaware of anything moved his eyes.

“…Brother Zhao?!”

It only took a few seconds for the man to open his eyes. His mood quickly turned from confusion to clarity. Ignoring the pain of broken bones, he suddenly sat up from the bed, gasping for breath, and grabbed Sun Laoer tightly. He shouted in a hoarse voice, "Where's Tao Ning? Where's Tao Ning?! Where did Tao Ning go?!"

The man's grip was very strong. Even though he had just woken up, Sun Laoer felt that his arm was about to be twisted off by him. He quickly cried out, "Sister-in-law is still here! Sister-in-law is still here! Brother Zhao, please let go--"

This sentence was like a shot of tranquilizer. The man who was haunted by the nightmare suddenly let go of his hand. After a moment, two clear tears fell from his empty eyes. Zhao Jingqun murmured to himself: "Why did you save me... Why... Why did you save me..."

If Tao Ning died, what was the point of him living?

In the nightmare, no matter how many times Zhao Jingqun repeated it, no matter how many times he desperately ran to the rooftop - he could never catch Tao Ning's hand.

Heartbroken, Zhao Jingqun watched Tao Ning turn into a bloody corpse and die before him. He was so hurt that he almost vomited his heart, but it still couldn't change the fact that Tao Ning was dead.

.......It hurts...It hurts so much.

Tao Ning, you are so cruel. Why didn't you take me with you? Do you know how much pain I am in?

Zhao Jingqun's heart was completely dead.

And when he saw Tao Ning's soul floating out of the corpse, her body was covered in bright red blood, and her beautiful eyes were also soaked in blood, but she kept saying over and over again: "Zhao Jingqun, it hurts, it hurts."

His baby acted like a spoiled child, but was covered in blood.

Zhao Jingqun, it hurts.

Zhao Jingqun stumbled to his feet and hugged him tightly, his eyes empty as he let out a twisted, miserable laugh. He comforted him over and over again: "Don't be afraid, Daibao, don't be afraid. I'll be with you. I'll be down with you right away."

But when he was about to cut his neck with a dagger, a white light suddenly appeared, and everything disappeared, leaving only the cold incandescent light in the hospital.

Zhao Jingqun thought absentmindedly. His baby would blame him, right? How could he bear to let his baby wait for him alone for so long in a place as terrifying and cold as the underworld?

do not be afraid.

"...I'll accompany you..."

As Sun Lao Er was rubbing his arm, he suddenly saw Zhao Jingqun trying to grab the dagger on the table. Frightened, he pushed him onto the bed, not caring about his status anymore. He pointed at him and cursed, "Zhao Jingqun, are you still a man? What are you going to do?! If you die like this, what will happen to Madam Zhao and the others who came all the way here to take care of you?"

"Are you going to make them lose their children in middle age? And those brothers who risked their lives for you, are you trying to make us feel disheartened?!"

The ward instantly fell into a dead silence, with only the rustling of leaves outside the window. Sun Laoer's chest heaved violently with anger, but then came a deep sense of helplessness. After a while, when he calmed down and was about to try to persuade her with kind words, he saw the man lying on the bed whispering:

"...What about me?"

Feeling that the man was in a very bad state, Sun Lao Er did not dare to say anything more and asked carefully: "W-what?"

Silent tears fell drop by drop, and Zhao Jingqun asked: "They depend on me to survive... What about me..."

The person he depended on is gone, so what about him?

At this moment, Sun Lao Er suddenly understood and clapped his hands, saying, "Brother Zhao! Oh, look at what you've done! My sister-in-law is still alive!"

When Song Yucong received the news that Tao Ning was critically ill, he was preparing for a singing variety show in another province. Because it was confidential, his mobile phone had to be confiscated. When he received the news, he skipped the variety show and rushed back to Haizhou overnight. Tao Ning had already been sent to the operating room, and the result of the operation required a bone marrow transplant immediately.

Song Yucong's bone marrow is currently the only one that can match Tao Ning.

Because of the memory of being treated as a real blood-sucking bag since childhood, Song Yucong suffers from severe symptoms of blood phobia and anemia, and is extremely resistant to needles. He has PTSD tendencies towards these things.

Once again, he canceled the variety show for no reason. That variety show is currently the most popular singing variety show. Basically, any singer who participated in it would become famous in the future, if not become a huge star.

Song Yucong's secretary and agent knew his dream and felt that it was not worth it to delay his trip because of a sponsor's bone marrow transplant surgery.

When his agent urged him to reconsider, Song Yucong simply rolled his eyes and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Do I need his variety show? And who told you Tao Ning is just someone I sponsor?"

“???”

The agent was confused, but the next second, he saw this high-maintenance second-generation rich kid blushing and whispering awkwardly, "He... is my lover."

“…”

Song Yucong put on the blue and white surgical gown that he once disliked. The largest size was still a little small for him. The gleaming gold necklace around his neck was revealed. His beautiful and sharp phoenix eyes softened in an instant when he saw Tao Ning lying on the hospital bed.

Then he turned around and entered the examination room without hesitation.

——From now on, our blood is intertwined and we will never be separated.

A few days later.

Tao Ning was wheeled into a sterile laminar flow ward for the preparatory phase of his bone marrow transplant. This phase involved extensive chemotherapy to clear the abnormal cells from his body, while also using medication to suppress his immune system to prevent his body from rejecting Song Yucong's donor cells.

The whole process was very painful, so Tao Ning's hair was shaved off, but this did not affect his beauty at all. It was just that because he was unconscious, he looked like Sleeping Beauty in the fairy tale.

The medical staff sighed, "It's good that he hasn't woken up. He doesn't have to suffer the pain for the time being."

Two weeks later, the stem cell transplant phase began, and Tao Ning was transferred to the intensive care unit.

Zhao Jingqun stood outside, staring blankly at the inside. He had been standing outside for several days because he was afraid that if he blinked, Tao Ning would disappear like in a dream.

During this time, Zhao Jingqun's parents came to make a scene. They knew everything and scolded him for being incompetent, for being with a man, and for being a nobody for this man. But from beginning to end, Zhao Jingqun remained indifferent, just staring blankly at the ICU.

Later, Zhao's parents left in disappointment. At first, Sun Laoer came to persuade them, but gradually stopped coming. Just before the transplant surgery began, Sun Laoer came to deliver a meal, but he searched the entire hospital and couldn't find Zhao Jingqun.

"This is strange. Where has Brother Zhao gone? He's been waiting outside like a ghost these past few days. Could it be that he's finally come to his senses today and is willing to have a good meal because he's afraid he'll starve to death and never see his sister-in-law again?"

......

"Donor, there are a total of 1,510 steps from the foot of the mountain to the Buddha in Changming Temple. Over the past twenty years, I have seen many believers come here to pray for the health of their loved ones, but only one in ten actually kowtows on each step to pray for peace. This is because people believe that there are gods above their heads, and if their hearts are sincere, they can even spend money to ward off disasters."

“There are only a few who ignore the world’s gaze and knock on a thousand stairs for one person.”

Zhao Jingqun said: "I do."

At the foot of the mountain, an old monk looked at the man who looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness. He pointed to the sky and said with a smile, "With each step you take, silently recite your wish. However, a rainstorm is coming. May your wish come true."

The wind picked up. Early spring in Haizhou is always rainy, and passersby would run home to avoid the rain. But the quiet Changming Temple, nestled amidst the bustle, was still bustling with activity. It's one of China's four great sacred temples, and legend has it that sincere wishes here will grant them, whether for wealth, marriage, or health.

A couple and their child wanted to go to Changming Temple to fulfill a vow. At the foot of the mountain, the child pointed at a person and asked, "Dad, Mom, what is that person doing?"

The couple looked over and saw a very tall man kneeling on the steps, with his hands clasped together, his index finger against the tip of his nose, and he kept muttering to himself. The next second, he kowtowed devoutly.

The next second, he stood up and knelt on the next step, clasping his hands together again and silently reciting.

Because this scene was so rare, gradually more and more people gathered around this strange man, but no one came forward to disturb him. Perhaps, his piety and the tears on his face looked too frightening.

Someone approached and heard clearly what the man said -
