Chapter 1266 The Last Birthday
Chen Yan carried Gu Wanqiu into the house and watched her swallow two pills. She lay on the bed, and soon her breathing became lighter. If he hadn't reached out to feel her breath, he would have thought that she was dead.
The pain went away after taking the medicine. Gu Wanqiu was most afraid of pain and bitterness.
No one is not afraid of these two things, but Gu Wanqiu has experienced too much pain, so she tries to treat such a difficult thing as a habit and adapt herself to it.
She didn't want to take the medicine either. Chen Yan was afraid that she would not wake up after falling asleep after taking the medicine. She was actually afraid too.
Fainting is completely different from falling into a deep sleep. You will feel weightless, your chest will feel stuffy, and you will feel shortness of breath. When you wake up, you will have a splitting headache and a dry and painful throat.
Gu Wanqiu swallowed the two pills, but it seemed like they hadn't reached her stomach yet. Instead, they were stuck in her throat, emitting a bitter taste with a hint of rust.
"Chen Yan, can you please do me a favor? After I die, the rings and this watch on my body will be buried with my ashes in Haicheng." She originally thought that when people die, nothing will be left behind, so it would be better to find a place to be blown away by the wind.
But think about it, what if there really is a soul after death? If her ashes were scattered in Chengdu, would she be stuck here, unable to return?
Therefore, she still wanted to return to Haicheng, the place where she was born and raised, and where she lived with Li Jinxing. There, perhaps she could see her relatives and Mrs. Liu after her death.
Shen Yan didn't want to hear her say this, as if she was leaving her last words and would disappear from his sight in the next second.
Gu Wanqiu had been waiting for Shen Yan's response. She couldn't see or hear her voice, so she panicked subconsciously and shouted in a trembling voice: "Shen Yan."
"Okay, I understand." Chen Yan looked at the watch on her wrist. He was a connoisseur of goods and could tell that this watch was custom-made. The diamonds inlaid on it were all top-grade pink diamonds, without a trace of impurities. It was pure and beautiful, and the workmanship was meticulous. Even after so many years, it would not go out of style.
Chen Yan noticed this watch a long time ago because Gu Wanqiu always wore it and never took it off. Also, this watch looked familiar to him and he felt like he had seen it somewhere before.
"Who gave you this watch?"
"A very important person." Gu Wanqiu said.
Listening to the tone, Shen Yan guessed that the important person she was talking about should be a man, perhaps the father of her child.
"Where's my stuffed bear?"
"Next to the pillow."
"I want to hear the tape."
"I'll play it for you."
Listening to the recording, Gu Wanqiu slowly fell asleep. The recording was played repeatedly. Seeing that Gu Wanqiu fell asleep, Chen Yan did not turn off the sound.
When she woke up again, it was already the next day. This time she couldn't even get up. She had to have her meals brought to her bed and fed to her. She also needed a female nurse to wash her, and she had to do everything in bed.
Gu Wanqiu asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's noon, almost one o'clock."
Although she was clearly not feeling well, Gu Wanqiu still wanted to lie on the sofa outside and watch TV.
"You're not feeling well, just lie down in bed and rest."
"I've been lying down long enough." She spends 15 hours in a 24-hour day in a coma, and doesn't feel refreshed when she wakes up. She wants to find something to do while she's awake.
The only thing she could use now was her ears. She wanted to listen more, to hear news about Li Jinxing and the voices of her two children.
The only way she could hear Li Jinxing's voice was through the financial channel on TV.
She focused on listening to news about Li Jinxing every day, which made Shen Yan suspicious.
Perhaps out of jealousy among people of the same age, Chen Yan knew that Li Jinxing was very capable, but he would not take the initiative to collect information about him. Sometimes, when he accidentally saw it, he would feel annoyed and quickly skip it without paying attention.
But recently, whenever Gu Wanqiu watched TV, he would turn to the financial channel, and it was hard for him not to pay attention to the news about Li Jinxing.
An astonishing thought came to his mind: Could the father of Gu Wanqiu's child be Li Jinxing?
Li Jinxing has two children, but he doesn't know their names.
He found it unbelievable and couldn't believe that Li Jinxing and Gu Wanqiu had been together and had two children?
Gu Wanqiu's current appearance doesn't look like anyone who can be related to Li Jinxing. When these two people stand together, there is a huge contrast, as if they are not in the same world.
And the person that Gu Wanqiu once said sorry to, was he also Li Jinxing?
Although it is incredible, once the seed of doubt is planted and sprouts, it cannot be pulled out. Now the desire to explore it is getting stronger and stronger.
Chen Yan did not ask Gu Wanqiu about her relationship with Li Jinxing right away. He thought that Gu Wanqiu would not tell him.
He also inexplicably felt a sense of competitiveness in his heart, wanting to find out everything on his own.
Chen Yan didn't expect that it would be easier to find out than he thought. He only needed to search for Li Jinxing's past photos on the Internet, and he could clearly see that the watch on Li Jinxing's wrist was exactly the same as the one on Gu Wanqiu's hand. He enlarged the picture for comparison, and thus he could also see the two rings on Li Jinxing's neck.
Li Jinxing has been wearing these two things for several years and has never been seen taking them off. They have almost become his standard equipment. There are rumors online that they were left by Li Jinxing's beloved, who might be the mother of his two children.
There is very little information about Li Jinxing's two children, and we need to dig deeper and continue to investigate to find any clues.
Li Jinxing's two children seemed to have come suddenly. The mother of the children is unknown. Over the years, Li Jinxing has protected the two children very well and has not leaked any information. It is difficult to find out. All we know is that they are two sons, probably twins.
Since he only has a son but no wife, there have been rumors that Li Jinxing has been secretly married, and the child's mother is most likely dead.
In the business world, the news about Li Jinxing will be clearer. Shen Yan connected to his social software and contacted a friend in the business world who he had not contacted for a long time.
I roughly learned a little from him that Li Jinxing has always had someone he likes very much, who can be regarded as his white moonlight. He has been single for more than ten years and has never let any woman get close to him.
The person in his mind is definitely not the Jiang Yun reported now.
For people like Li Jinxing, the more important they are to him, the less news there is about them online, such as his two children.
And the "white moonlight" who has no news is the most important person in his heart.
A friend said, "Li Jinxing has been wearing a watch on his wrist that doesn't match his image, a women's watch, and the two rings around his neck are enough to show how much he cares about that woman. I just don't know if she is still alive. If it gets out, it will definitely cause quite a stir. Hey, Shen Yan, why did you suddenly text me asking about Li Jinxing? How is your business doing since you ran away from home? Will you return to the Shen family? If you don't achieve anything, we will laugh at you."
"I'm fine, don't worry about me." After saying that, Shen Yan hung up the call.
If he had 50% doubt at the beginning, now he is 100% sure about the relationship between Gu Wanqiu and Li Jinxing.
These two people don't seem to be from the same world, but think about it, he can be attracted to Gu Wanqiu, Gu Wanqiu has many advantages, just from her quiet temperament, people feel at ease and comfortable when getting along with her.
"What is your relationship with Li Jinxing?" Shen Yan still asked this question. He obviously knew everything, but he still asked it, as if there was a trace of unwillingness in him.
"It doesn't matter."
"You know him." This was an affirmation.
Gu Wanqiu didn't say anything.
"If you want to hear news about him, and his voice, I can use my phone to find it for you. The financial channel won't always broadcast news about him."
This time, Gu Wanqiu spoke up and said, "Thank you."
Chen Yan felt like he had swallowed a needle, and his heart seemed to be pricked by the needle. It was a slight pain, and then it became a dull pain, which was always uncomfortable.
Gu Wanqiu listened to it even more now. She either hugged Xiong and listened to Si Yan and Si Xu's voice, or played Li Jinxing on her phone. Every day, Chen Yan would play it for her.
Gu Wanqiu was becoming increasingly weak, and both Shen Yan and the female nurse saw it.
The female nurse could tell that Gu Wanqiu was dying. Privately, she asked Chen Yan, "Should we send Miss Gu to the hospital? I think she's in a very bad condition. She can't even swallow water or porridge. I think she needs a nutritional injection."
It's not that Chen Yan hasn't mentioned the nutritional injection to Gu Wanqiu before. As soon as he brought it up, Gu Wanqiu refused and made it clear that she didn't want to receive the nutritional injection.
She had received enough nutrient injections. Every time she had an infusion, her body felt very cold and one of her hands felt like it was disabled. Although her hand was now disabled, she still didn't want the cold feeling of having her body filled with water.
She knew her own body better than anyone else. She was really about to die this time, and it might happen in the next two days.
Fortunately, God still loved her and let her celebrate her last birthday.
On her 32nd birthday, Gu Wanqiu thought about her 31st birthday when she was still by Li Jinxing's side, Si Yan and Si Xu were with her, the cake was made by Li Jinxing himself, and the two children rolled longevity noodles for her and cooked them for her.
At that time she was still acting, pretending to accept Li Jinxing, and the two of them lived in peace.
But when Li Jinxing brought out the cake and sang the birthday song, at that moment, the distance between them was really shortened. It was not an act, she really felt very good to have so many people accompany her to celebrate her birthday.
Later she also thought about how to celebrate her 32nd birthday.
Maybe she had already left them by then, and she spent an ordinary birthday with Gong Qing taking her to a restaurant outside for dinner, just like in previous years.
Thirty-two years old came so quickly. There was no Li Jinxing and the others, and no Gong Qing.
But she also had an unexpected gain and made a friend named Shen Yan.
It was quite surprising that the person who spent her last birthday with her, watched her die, and collected her body was Chen Yan, whom she had only known for more than a month.
I can only say that fate is a wonderful thing.
September 29th, tomorrow is her birthday. Gu Wanqiu couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation, and felt that the pain in her body was not as painful as before.
Shen Yan asked her how she wanted to live.
Gu Wanqiu said directly: "In this case, isn't this a surprise you prepared for me in advance? But think about it, I kind of want to eat cake. Birthdays must have cake. Oh, by the way, I remember there is a tea tree in the yard. Is it in bloom now?"
"It hasn't bloomed yet, but there are buds. It should be blooming soon."
"If it blooms, please pick one for me and put it by my bed."
"good."
Shen Yan looked out the window and saw that the fruits on the pear tree in the yard were ripe.
When he first came here, he noticed these fruit trees, including cherries, oranges and pears, all common fruits in the south.
This period is the best time to eat pears. Eating pears in autumn can moisten the lungs. After Gu Wanqiu lost her sight, Chen Yan acted as her eyes, telling her everything she saw around her, and then finding all kinds of interesting things, whether they were seen in real life or on the phone, he would tell them to Gu Wanqiu. He was already very satisfied when he could see a smile on her face.
He looked at the pear tree outside that was laden with fruit. "Do you remember that pear tree outside? When we first got here, the fruit was only the size of a fingernail. Now it's as big as a fist and ripe. Do you want to try some? I'll pick some for you."
Gu Wanqiu had lost her sense of taste and had long lost interest in food, but some flavors were in her memory. When she heard Chen Yan say this, she seemed to feel a slight sweetness on the tip of her tongue.
"think."
After getting Gu Wanqiu's response, Chen Yan went out and soon came back with a few pears. He chose the largest, roundest and sweetest-looking pear. He washed it, peeled it, and fed the whole thing to Gu Wanqiu.
Gu Wanqiu took a bite and found only water without any taste, but she guessed that if she had a sense of taste, this pear would definitely be very sweet.
A whole pear is not easy to bite, so Gu Wanqiu said, "Cut the pear into small pieces. I can't eat that much."
Shen Yan did as he was told.
Gu Wanqiu ate most of the pear and let Chen Yan eat the rest.
She can still hear sounds now. Although the tinnitus is getting worse and there are noises, if she listens carefully, she can still hear a lot of sounds, such as the crunching sound of Chen Yan chewing a pear.
"Is it sweet?"
"It's sweet at first, a little sour aftertaste, and very juicy. Overall, it's delicious."
"That's great! If only I still had a sense of taste. I'm thinking of frozen pears from the north. I haven't eaten them yet. I thought they were delicious when I saw videos about them before. If I had that time, I would have tried to make them myself." If I had eaten the food I wanted to eat, I wouldn't have so many regrets now.
The female nurse saw everything Gu Wanqiu and Shen Yan said and did. She was very good at judging people. After all, she had taken care of many patients before, and she had even seen many dead people in the hospital. Gu Wanqiu's face now looked like that of someone who was about to die.
She looked in good spirits today, but in the eyes of the female nurse, it seemed more like a last glimmer of life before death.
