“It doesn’t hurt.” Yuan Jiang was telling the truth.
But Zhou Jingxing didn't believe it. How could childbirth not be painful? His wife must be saying that to comfort him. Waaaaah, his wife loves him so much. She was clearly in so much pain that she fainted, but she said she wasn't in pain so he wouldn't worry.
"Where are the children?" she asked.
“They’re sleeping next door.” Zhou Jingxing complained, “They’re so heartless. You went through so much pain giving birth to them, and they didn’t know anything. They’re sleeping soundly.”
Yuan Jiang smiled but didn't say anything.
In the following days, Yuan Jiang noticed that Zhou Jingxing was very cold towards the two children, and she did not see the joy of becoming a father for the first time on Zhou Jingxing's face.
"Honey, are you angry with the babies?"
“No.” Zhou Jingxing paused. “I just haven’t recovered yet. They are your children, I won’t be angry with them.”
He then changed the subject: "But before I become a father, I am first and foremost your husband."
Yuan Jiang smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
————
The two lived happily together for fifty years.
When Yuan Jiang was seventy years old, she fell seriously ill and her body couldn't take it anymore after she woke up.
Zhou Jingxing knew that she was leaving; she was leaving him.
But how could Zhou Jingxing bear to part with it?
Fifty years has passed, and he hasn't had enough.
Both children brought their grandchildren to visit Yuan Jiang. Yuan Jiang instructed them, "After I'm gone, you must take good care of Dad. He's getting old and has been crying more and more lately."
“His legs get uncomfortable in winter, and he also has a bad stomach. You need to make sure he eats on time. He gets migraines on rainy days; his medicine is in the closet in his bedroom…”
After a long speech, the children lowered their heads and cried incessantly, so Zhou Jingxing chased them away.
He looked at her pitifully with red eyes: "Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"
"A little." She was telling the truth; her body had reached its limit. If it weren't for the system keeping her afloat, she probably would have already...
"Then you can go. I'll take good care of myself." His back trembled as he collapsed, his heart breaking.
Yuan Jiang smiled slightly, though she had no mental energy left. She still couldn't help but worry as she told him, "I'm leaving now. You have to take good care of yourself. You never take your health seriously. It would make me very sad if I saw that."
"You must eat well, listen to Huai Yuanwan, and stop throwing tantrums. You must live happily, okay?"
You have to promise me.
"I promise you."
Yuan Jiang closed her eyes with relief.
Separation is a painful thing just to think about.
Zhou Jingxing deceived Yuan Jiang.
The second after Yuan Jiang breathed her last, he swallowed an entire bottle of sleeping pills and followed her.
He had said long ago that even if he died, he would die with Yuan Jiang and haunt her as a ghost!
She will never be able to leave him alone!
Without Yuan Jiang, none of this would have any meaning.
Zhou Jingxing climbed onto the bed, embraced her gradually cooling body, kissed her lips, and quietly awaited death.
Wife, if only we could meet again.
Pick me directly.
