Chapter 86 Leaving

After another full week of fun in Las Vegas, Qi Ji and Yuan Zhuo flew back to China.

After only one day of resting at home, they immediately went to various departments to handle the procedures for becoming each other's guardians.

Yuan Zhuo naturally did not intend to hide such a big thing from his family, and found a free time during the trip to have a sincere communication with his family.

Everyone was a little surprised at his decision, but out of love for Qi Ji and the educational philosophy that every adult should be responsible for their own choices, Yuan's father and mother finally decided to respect Yuan Zhuo's choice.

This procedure is very cumbersome, with more than a dozen certifications from all parties, but both Qi Ji and Yuan Zhuo were very patient.

Nine days later, the last formality was finally completed. After getting the freshly prepared documents, as soon as he left the office hall, Yuan Zhuo couldn't wait to hug Qi Ji and shouted excitedly, ignoring the surprised eyes of passers-by.

"Wife! Now you are really my wife!"

Qi Ji looked at Yuan Zhuo, who was so excited that he couldn't help himself, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Yeah."

In the next few days, they will be busy with the affairs of the club.

Well, Qi Ji is ready to retire.

The game is over, he doesn't need to take the injection anymore, and his wrist starts to hurt from time to time, so even if he didn't have that incident, he has to retire.

According to Yuan Zhuo's plan, after finishing the club's affairs, they will contact the best doctors to prepare a treatment plan.

Originally, Yuan Zhuo wanted to take a break to accompany him for treatment, but Qi Ji sternly refused. He didn't want him to delay his life because of him. Besides, he didn't need treatment.

So now they need to find a new soul method for the club. Of course, when they were traveling abroad, the club staff had already been looking for suitable candidates. Although none of them could compare with Qi Ji, there were still a few good candidates.

After various inspections and the final trial, Qi Ji selected a promising newcomer for MG. He hoped that he could continue the glory of MG together with everyone in MG.

After everything was settled, it was time for Qi Ji to complete his last task.

It wasn't that he hadn't struggled during these days. He often woke up in Yuan Zhuo's arms in the middle of the night and opened his eyes. He really had fought hard to stay for Yuan Zhuo.

But every time he had this thought, another voice would appear in his mind telling him that his parents died because of him, and he had used ten years to delay his goal of winning the championship again for so long, and in the end he even wanted to break his contract. He was not worthy of being a human being, let alone living in this world.

Although his efforts were not shown, such a tearing made Qi Ji painful and exhausted, so after everything was dealt with, he made the final decision.

Not wanting to bring greater fright and shadow to Yuan Zhuo who was always inseparable from him, Qi Ji was waiting for a suitable opportunity. Of course, he knew very well that this also concealed his reluctance to part with Yuan Zhuo.

But the opportunity soon came.

On the large and comfortable sofa, Yuan Zhuo hugged Qi Ji and asked with a little disappointment.

"Wife, do you really not want to go to my sister's birthday party?"

Yuan Zhuo also knew that Qi Ji, who was always quiet, would not like such noisy occasions, but he really wanted to take this opportunity to bring his lover into his circle of life, so that he would feel more secure.

Well, he admitted that he did have a little thought of showing off his wife, but there was nothing wrong with that. Every man in a sweet love would like to let the world see how lucky and happy he is.

Qi Ji thought, if he were a normal person, even if he didn't like such occasions, he would overcome it for Yuan Zhuo, after all, he had done so much for him.

However, he was not normal, and this was also a good opportunity for him to leave quietly.

Shaking his head gently, Qi Ji moved and nestled deeper into Yuan Zhuo's arms.

"No, apologize to my sister for me."

Although he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed in his heart, in Yuan Zhuo's heart, nothing was more important than Qi Ji's feelings. He quickly hugged Qi Ji tighter and said loudly without caring.

"Well, what's there to apologize for? If you don't want to go, then don't go."

After discussing this matter, Yuan Zhuo brought up another matter. He rubbed Qi Ji's soft head lovingly, and asked with some worry and guilt.

"Wife, you don't seem to be in a good mood recently. Is there something I haven't done well?"

Seeing that it was obviously his own problem, but Yuan Zhuo was always reflecting on himself, the pain once again surged towards Qi Ji like a tide, trying to drown him bit by bit.

No, he was really good enough. His Yuan Zhuo was the best lover in the world. It was a pity that he didn't have this blessing to have him forever, but thinking back on this year, being able to meet him and fall in love with him was already a gift from God to him, and he was very satisfied.

Shaking his head lightly, Qi Ji tried to cheer up and respond to Yuan Zhuo.

"No, you're really great. I might... just suddenly leave my previous life and find it hard to adapt."

This was not entirely a lie. Compared to his previous busy and stressful life, when all his goals were achieved, he felt like a loose string, and his body and mind were a little at a loss.

However, his illness filled this confusion with pain and despair.

This reason convinced Yuan Zhuo very well. After all, anyone who has lived a busy, stressful and high-pressure life for ten years would feel a little uncomfortable when they suddenly relax and have some free time. Thinking

of this, Yuan Zhuo reminded himself in his heart that he must try his best to take out all the time to accompany and take care of Qi Ji. He lowered his head and kissed the top of Qi Ji's head, and said softly.

"It will get better slowly. When your wrist is healed, I will accompany you to do whatever you want."

The fantasy of a beautiful future was like a sharp knife, piercing Qi Ji's heart, he whispered in a trance.

"Okay."

Seeing that he was really in a bad mood, Yuan Zhuo didn't make any more nonsense. The two hugged each other and talked for a while, then washed up and went back to the bedroom, and fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next day, Yuan Zhuo needed to go to the airport to pick up his sister, so he got up early in the morning.

After quietly going to the second bedroom to tidy himself up, he returned to the master bedroom again, kissed Qi Ji's fair and smooth forehead, and whispered.

"Wife, I'm going out. I'll try to come back early in the evening."

Opening his eyes slightly, Qi Ji looked at Yuan Zhuo for a long time, then raised his head and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Yuan Zhuo, I love you."

Yuan Zhuo was so happy to receive a rare confession from his lover early in the morning that he almost didn't want to go out.

But there was no way, today was his sister's birthday party, and he couldn't be absent no matter what. He lowered his head and sucked Qi Ji's lips hard, and said hoarsely.

"I love you too, I will come back early in the evening."

Without saying a word, Qi Ji stared at Yuan Zhuo without blinking, as if he wanted to remember him in his heart forever.

Qi Ji like this made Yuan Zhuo's heart beat wildly, but unfortunately it was a bit too late, and he had to hurry out.

After giving Qi Ji another hard kiss on the face, he reluctantly left.

Looking at Yuan Zhuo's back disappearing behind the door, a tear slid from the corner of Qi Ji's eye onto the beige pillow, and he murmured in a low voice.

"Yuan Zhuo, goodbye."

Half an hour after Yuan Zhuo left, Qi Ji dragged his exhausted body out of bed.

He first tidied the house, then tidied himself up briefly, and then took out the things he had prepared long ago and put them on the bedside table in the bedroom.

On the notebook that recorded Yuan Zhuo's wishes were three bank cards and a suicide note.

Then, he took out a bottle of sleeping pills that he had hidden long ago, leaned over and wrote a note, and then took them, put on down jackets, and took a taxi to the airport.

His parents were buried in Rongcheng, his hometown in the northern inland. Fortunately, transportation is well developed now, and there are direct flights from Haicheng back here.

Two hours later, when the small plane landed at Rongcheng Airport, it was almost dark. Qi Ji did not delay at all and got on the airport taxi directly to the cemetery where his parents were.

Just after getting off the car, he received a call from Yuan Zhuo. His heart trembled suddenly, and then he still trembled his fingers and tapped the answer button.

"Wife, what are you doing? Why don't you reply to my WeChat?"

When Yuan Zhuo's voice came from the other side of the microphone, Qi Ji's eyes were red, but in order to prevent him from discovering the clues, he still tried to control his emotions.

"I was resting at home. I was sleeping just now, so I didn't see it."

When Qi Ji answered Yuan Zhuo, there was a rare silence on the other end of the phone, but soon, Yuan Zhuo's bright voice rang again.

"Oh, okay, then you have a good rest, I will go home as soon as possible."

Qi Ji felt as if his chest was pressed down by a big stone and he couldn't breathe. He took a deep breath and squeezed out a few words.

"Well, then you go ahead and do your work. I'm hanging up."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Ji stood on the side of the road for a long time, then he slowed down a little and walked towards the security room of the cemetery.

Seeing that there were still people coming to the cemetery when it was almost dark, the elderly security guard asked in surprise.

"Young man, it's getting dark, do you still want to go into the park?"

Qi Ji took out an envelope filled with cash and placed it in front of the old man.

"Uncle, it's me. Thank you for taking care of my parents for these years."

Hearing him say this and taking a closer look at this unforgettable face, the old man quickly remembered who the visitor was.

"It's you, young man. Hey, what are you doing? This is what I should do."

Besides, he had already collected the management fee that the child transferred every year, so he couldn't collect more.

Because of the competition, Qi Ji couldn't visit his parents every year, so he got rid of the old man to help manage his parents' graves.

In addition to thanking the old man for his help over the years, tomorrow should also be the first time he sees his...corpse, so this is a thank you and also compensation.

Qi Ji lowered his head slightly and said softly in a hoarse voice.

"You keep it. I'll go in and see them first. I may stay a little longer this time."

After all, they are people in the world of mortals who are busy with life. After thinking about it, the old man did not refuse.

"Okay."

Hearing this, Qi Ji nodded again and walked towards the cemetery with a slightly heavy step.

This should be the best cemetery in the whole town. Although it is not as luxurious as the cemeteries in big cities, it is also clean and tidy.

In the deep winter, the northern town was cold and windy. Qi Ji's ears were filled with the sound of the wind and the sound of dry branches being blown. There were rows of tombstones along the way, but he was not afraid, because he knew that this place carried the thoughts and attachments of countless people.

When he came to the second to last tombstone in the fourth row, Qi Ji stopped and looked at the old but nostalgic photos on the tombstone. He smiled softly and apologized to his parents.

"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I came a little late this year."

As if he was really chatting with his family, he sat on the ground, looking at the two people on the tombstone, and said softly.

"Mom and Dad, I fell in love with a very good boy. I came late because of the competition and to fulfill his wish. Don't blame me."

"Oh, don't blame him either. He is really... very good. He is the best person in the world."

When Qi Ji thought of Yuan Zhuo, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand. He felt sore and painful. He held back his tears, grabbed the clothes on his chest, sniffed and continued.

"But this year I finally won the championship again. This time, you should have seen it, Mom and Dad."

"Oh, this is the championship shared by Yuan Zhuo."

As he spoke, Qi Ji's tears finally flowed from the corners of his eyes. He stood up and walked to the tombstone, hugging the tombstone like he hugged his parents when he was a child.

"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry for him, but I really miss you, and I really can't hold on any longer..."

"I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for him, I'm really sorry..."

...

Just like that, Qi Ji said everything in his heart while holding his parents' tombstone.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt like he had nothing to say, so he took the medicine bottle out of his pocket with shaking hands, poured it directly into his mouth, and swallowed it while crying and chewing dryly.

Soon he felt that he began to have difficulty breathing, and slowly the darkness swallowed him bit by bit.

Holding the medicine bottle tightly, he fell in front of the tombstone. At the moment when he was completely in darkness, he looked at the entrance of the cemetery and murmured faintly.

"Yuan Zhuo, I'm sorry..."

...

At this moment, at the luxurious and grand banquet of the Yuan family in Haicheng, under the dazzling crystal lights, accompanied by melodious music, pairs of young men and women in elegant and exquisite clothes danced one after another.

After the dance, amid the applause and laughter of the crowd, Yuan Zhuo, wearing a navy blue velvet three-piece suit, with his bangs lifted and fixed with hair gel, walked out of the dance floor holding his sister's hand.

When they were dancing just now, Yuan Ling noticed that her brother was a little absent-minded, so she poked him with her scallion-like fingers in dissatisfaction.

"What's the big deal, little brat? You're so worried about it in just a short while?"

He really wanted to, but he was more confused and worried. They

were obviously going to sweep the graves of their parents, why didn't Qi Ji tell him in advance and lied to him.

Of course, even if he was deceived, Yuan Zhuo would not be angry. He just thought that he must have done something wrong, so Qi Ji was unwilling to tell him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but start to get irritated.

"Qi Ji didn't tell me, and went home alone to sweep the graves of his parents."

The smart Yuan Ling immediately caught the point. She smiled and responded to the people who greeted her, while she was puzzled.

"What's wrong with that? Ah, that's not right. He didn't tell you, how do you know..."

The novels she had read immediately flashed through her mind, and Yuan Ling covered her mouth and exclaimed softly.

"No way, Zhuozi, you are still monitoring Qi Ji? You're going too far!"

It's not that of monitoring... but he did secretly install a positioning chip in Qi Ji's mobile phone. He knew it was wrong to do so, but he couldn't control himself.

He loved Qi Ji and didn't want to interfere too much with his freedom, but he had to admit that his possessiveness of him had gradually reached an unspeakable level.

If they can't be together all the time, then he must be aware of his every move, otherwise he will have an irrepressible anxiety in his heart.

At the moment, he felt this way. He lowered his head and sent a WeChat message to Qi Ji while vaguely responding to his sister.

"No, sister."

Yuan Ling stared at Yuan Zhuo suspiciously for several times, but after seeing the anxiety in his eyes, her heart couldn't help but soften.

Oh, is this love? Just such a small thing can make the youngest in their family, who is always fearless, worried and anxious to this extent?

Of course, as a sister, she still spoke lovingly to comfort him.

"Okay, but Qi Ji is not a child, you don't have to worry so much."

Indeed, Qi Ji's autonomy can surpass 99.99% of the people on the earth, but he is independent and strong. What does it have to do with him thinking that he is weak and needs to be protected?

And for some reason, this time he still felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, as if something was going to happen.

The more he thought about it, the harder it was to control himself. He wanted to call Qi Ji again, but then he thought that maybe Qi Ji was talking to his parents at the moment, so he should not disturb him.

But he did not give up. While he had no other things to do, he immediately went online to check the information of the cemetery. After several rounds of twists and turns, he finally contacted the person on duty in the security room tonight.

He sincerely asked the security guard to help him check what Qi Ji was doing at the moment because

he felt it was too late to disturb others. A few minutes later, he received a call back from the security guard. When he learned that Qi Ji was holding the tombstone and talking to his parents, he felt a little relieved.

But the inexplicable panic and anxiety did not completely disappear. After enduring for a while, he finally couldn't hold back until Qi Ji replied on WeChat.

"Sorry, sister. I have to go to Rongcheng."

Although he was still a little unhappy that his brother left his birthday party, he didn't want to see him sitting here uncomfortably, so Yuan Ling waved her hand.

"Okay, you go quickly. I'll tell my parents and big brother for you to be careful on the road and don't quarrel."

He was reluctant and didn't dare to do so, but he really needed to see Qi Ji in person to really feel at ease.

After nodding to his sister, Yuan Zhuo hurriedly left the banquet hall at the fastest pace, while contacting a private jet and preparing to fly to Rongcheng immediately.

...

Two hours later, a sharp brake sounded in front of Rongcheng Cemetery. Yuan Zhuo, who was still wearing a three-piece suit, rushed out of the car and ran straight to the security room, panting and pleading.

"Grandpa...Grandpa, I'm the person who contacted you before. I want to go into the cemetery to find my friend!"

After turning off the loud video, the grandpa wanted to reply "It's too late, I can't go in", but then he remembered that the leader had reminded him that this guy was not an ordinary person, and he tried his best to meet his requirements, so he said.

"Okay, in the second to last position in the fourth row, that guy has been in there for a long time, it's freezing cold, don't stay too late, go back and rest early."

Nodding randomly, Yuan Zhuo ran into the cemetery.

Without the time to feel the eerie atmosphere of the cemetery in the cold winter night, he went straight to the fourth row. After seeing a vague figure from a distance, his heart miraculously calmed down immediately.

In order not to disturb Qi Ji's time alone with his parents, Yuan Zhuo decided to wait nearby until Qi Ji was ready to go back before appearing.

So he lightened his steps and approached the cemetery of Qi Ji's parents step by step.

However, the moment he saw Qi Ji fall beside the tombstone, he truly realized what it meant to be "heartbroken".

Without the time to think about what happened, he staggered over with weak legs and all his strength, hugged Qi Ji in his arms, and called him loudly.

"Wife, what's wrong with you? Wake up, Qi Ji! Qi Ji!"

But no matter how he shook or shouted, the person in his arms was silent and did not respond at all.

At this time, Yuan Zhuo found a white medicine bottle beside him. He looked at the medicine bottle in disbelief, then looked at Qi Ji, his hands trembling. He stretched out his fingers and put them under his nose. After feeling a faint breath, his tears suddenly burst out.

Then he immediately took out his phone and prepared to call 120, but because his hands were shaking too much, he took out the phone several times before he took it out and dialed the local 120 number.

After using up his last bit of rationality to report the location of the cemetery, he ran out with tears on his face, trembling all over, holding Qi Ji, who had no reaction.

As he ran, he cried with trembling lips.

"Qi Ji, you want me to die, you want me to die!"
