Chapter 854 Time waits for no one, but Duan Shiyan will
Jin Wu's breathing suddenly stopped.
She raised her tearful eyes, and at that moment, it seemed as if all the blood in her body was flowing backwards.
"You...what did you say?"
Jin Qi's eyes were visibly red, and her voice, already hoarse from crying, was trembling. "That day at the high school graduation ceremony, he wanted to...he wanted to confess his love to me?"
But that day, she didn't even see Duan Shiyan.
That day she was going to give a speech on stage as an outstanding student on behalf of her classmates, so she stayed in the school auditorium to prepare.
The last time I saw Duan Shiyan was the day before yesterday evening after school.
As usual, he passed by her on his skateboard.
Then, as if to show off, he stepped on the ground with one foot and stepped on the skateboard with graffiti patterns on it with the other foot.
Then the skateboard bounced up from the ground and was firmly grasped in his palm.
His peach blossom eyes raised freely, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled at her.
The dusk half-immersed his dazzling silver hair.
His slightly raised eyebrows showed his high spirits, as if the entire scorching summer was written into his eyes.
"Little squad leader."
The young man waved his hand at her with unbridled enthusiasm. Bright, dazzling points of light danced in his slightly curved eyes, filled with the pride of youth. "See you tomorrow."
The hands of time turned back to the next day.
Ima Kiri, who had been staying in the auditorium preparing, realized that he had picked up the wrong speech manuscript, so he stood up and walked to the classroom.
Just as she walked to her table.
Then came the sad news that the young man who had waved to her yesterday evening and said he would meet her tomorrow had been in a car accident.
At that time, there was some unrest in the management of the Duan Group, so some people set their sights on the only heir, Duan Shiyan.
That's why this accident happened.
In order to protect him, he was sent abroad for treatment.
Since then, we have parted.
We didn't see each other again until the night of our reunion.
Jin Wu felt his heart tighten again, and tears kept falling from the corners of his red eyes.
So on the day of the high school graduation ceremony, Duan Shiyan wanted to confess his love to her...
So he suddenly ran out because of her?
He has always attached great importance to these rituals. He ran out because he had to prepare something for her at that time, and ended up being...
Jin Wu's tearful eyes turned red as she looked at the man lying quietly and weakly on the hospital bed.
Her heart, filled with countless bitterness, contracted and twitched, and she was in so much pain that she lost all her voice and strength to even cry.
Xue Nan lowered his eyes and looked at the face in front of him that was completely soaked with tears, and still felt a little reluctant.
But he still felt that Jinxiang needed to know these things.
In those years when she was unaware, there was a clumsy boy who traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers, putting aside all his pride.
Through the ten years of time, I have silently and forbearingly loved you thousands of times.
"Yeah, he wants to confess to you."
Xue Nan pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and smiled helplessly and bitterly, "Sister-in-law, you also know how bad Brother Duan was before, even though he later turned over a new leaf because of you and studied hard, his grades gradually improved.
But he was also worried that he wouldn't be able to get into Kyoto University and wouldn't be able to go to the same university as you, so he mustered up the courage to express his feelings to you on your high school graduation day, holding flowers."
He looked at the exquisitely wrapped bouquet of flowers that he had just brought on behalf of Duan Shiyan and placed on the table. "The bouquet of flowers that Brother Duan prepared for you back then is exactly the same as the one I want to give you on your birthday now."
Jin Wu's eyelashes trembled with tears, and her red eyes followed Xue Nan's gaze and looked at the bouquet of flowers on the table next to her.
Under the light, the Austin-shaped pale pink roses are gentle and quiet, blooming beautifully even in the cold winter.
It's a fairy kiss.
When she received this bouquet of flowers for the first time in the hospital, Wen Kelin excitedly told her what the flowers meant.
——You are the love I hide in my heart.
At that time, she felt a little surprised and absurd to think that she was the love hidden in Duan Shiyan's heart?
Until now the truth has finally been revealed.
All the confusion and absurdity I felt at that time instantly turned into sharp blades that stabbed into my heart.
The pain was so unbearable that Jin Wu almost bent over, and his red eyes were filled with tears again.
Xue Nan sighed lightly and handed her the tissue again.
"That day, Brother Duan had already come to your place and was about to place the bouquet of flowers on your desk, but he noticed that one of the petals had been rubbed a little bit by dust somewhere."
"It's just that one of the petals of one of the flowers is a little dirty from the dust. It's just a little dirty, it's nothing at all, but he just won't give in and says he wants to give you the best no matter what."
"He knew there was a flower shop outside the school, so he ran out and wanted to buy another beautiful bouquet of flowers for you."
"The unexpected happened..."
Xue Nan swallowed his throat which was beginning to ache, and a layer of moist red slowly appeared in his eyes.
“At that time, we were only a few steps away from the flower shop, just a few steps away…”
"When we arrived at the scene, we saw Brother Duan lying in a pool of blood. The blood flowing from his body was even more than the injuries he had just suffered on the snowy mountain.
Even until he fell unconscious, his hands were still stretched forward, as if... as if just a second before his consciousness collapsed, he was still thinking of giving you the flowers..."
"Sister-in-law, it wasn't like no one gave you flowers on your graduation day."
"You have."
Xue Nan closed his eyes, his voice choked, "It's just that he hasn't had time to give it to you yet."
It was like a thunderclap, exploding in Jin Wu's ears again.
At this moment, it seemed as if all sounds became blurred until they could no longer be heard.
She stared at the bouquet of fairy kisses.
It was not until several small daisies hidden in the bouquet suddenly came into view that her tearful eyes trembled violently.
No wonder she found a small daisy dropped on her desk when she returned to the classroom from the auditorium.
At that time, she thought that a classmate was passing by with flowers and they just accidentally dropped them on her desk.
Turns out it’s not.
It wasn’t a classmate passing by holding flowers.
It didn't just happen to fall on her desk accidentally.
It was Duan Shiyan who personally held the bouquet of flowers that he wanted to give to her.
It was he who went straight to her place with passion and determination to give her flowers.
Imagiri felt the hot tears soaking his face once again.
It turned out that she did not have no flowers that day.
She has.
She always had it.
It's just that the person who sent her the flowers didn't have time to give it to her at that time...
Jin Wu looked at the man lying on the hospital bed, holding his still cold hand, his eyes sore.
A heartache that made it hard to breathe kept hitting my chest, and my cries were choked and trembling.
No wonder that night.
When Duan Shiyan saw the dried daisy in her small glass bottle, his expression suddenly froze.
He even comforted her by saying that it was his luck that his thing fell on your desk and was discovered by you.
He also said that if that person knew that the daisy he accidentally dropped at that time was cherished by you for so long, he would definitely be very happy.
Jin Wu looked at Duan Shiyan lying on the hospital bed, feeling a dull pain in his chest.
How much restraint and tolerance does one have to have in love to be able to stand by and watch as if nothing happened, and comfort her so gently...
"After Brother Duan was sent to the operating room, his condition was not optimistic at all. He was even given a critical illness notice."
"Do you know whose name he called out as soon as he regained a little consciousness?"
"Ima Kiri."
Xue Nan looked at her with red eyes, "Sister-in-law, he called your name, he always called your name."
"Your name is the courage for his life."
Even if the shout was extremely weak at the time.
But he still heard the name clearly, as if the name was not only engraved in his eyes and heart, but also in the depths of his soul.
It's as if I haven't fully confirmed whether my loved one is living a happy and peaceful life, so I can't let go of my worries.
So the will to survive challenged the god of death, raised the military flag named Imagiri, and fought hard to carve out a way out.
"Later, Brother Duan finally woke up. The first thing he asked wasn't about his own physical condition, but about asking me, 'How are you? Are you doing well? Have you been bullied? Have you been wronged?'"
"Then he found out that you were with Fu Yuchen."
Xue Nan still remembers it.
The young man, who had always been the most proud and unbridled, suddenly seemed to be frozen in place.
Sitting motionless on the hospital bed, he silently raised his eyes and looked into the distance through the window.
His back, which had been straight up till then, slowly bent down, and his face, which still looked a little pale and sickly, showed a gloomy look for the first time.
Xue Nan has known Duan Shiyan since childhood.
In my impression.
The prince of the Duan family, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, is always proud and arrogant, with his eyes high and his head as if no setback can shatter his pride.
But on this day.
The young man's pride was broken.
"If it weren't for that damn car accident, it would have been Brother Duan who appeared on the rooftop and confessed to you that day."
Xue Nan gritted his teeth and said, "How can it be Fu Yuchen's turn?"
"Because he knew you were with Fu Yuchen, Brother Duan was afraid that he would cross the line, so after his injury healed, he did not return to Kyoto. However, he never gave up the idea of protecting you for a single second."
"SW Technology."
"S-W, Siwu."
The thought of missing someone.
The fog of this fog.
Xue Nan looked at Duan Shiyan on the hospital bed with red eyes, "Sister-in-law, do you know why he named it this way? Because this is the company he built for you. He knows that your dream is to become a doctor, so he wants to develop medical robots for you to support your dream.
I was also worried that since I hadn't officially taken over the family business yet, I wouldn't be able to help you in time when you needed help. SW Technology was born out of this desire to protect you."
Because it is protection.
So don't disturb them.
Gifts were sent to her one by one with new alternative names.
The greeting cards sent along with the gifts were written in other handwritings.
All of this was his silent but deafening fall from grace.
It is a love that has lasted for ten years, from the heartbeat in school days to every moment in the future.
"He knew you didn't do well on the exam, and it was him who put the strawberry milk on your desk to cheer you up. He was the one who fought for you and drove away your fear. He was also the one who found you unconscious with a high fever backstage at the auditorium and braved the rain to take you to the hospital."
"He clearly had a cold himself, but he still took off his coat and covered you in such a cold day. He even rushed to the hospital carrying you despite the heavy rain.
Even though she was soaked and had a high fever, she still asked me to send her a new set of girls' school uniform.
I'm just worried that wearing your rain-soaked school uniform will make your condition worse and prevent you from getting better."
"Imagiri, he didn't start protecting you only after we reunited."
Xue Nan looked at Jin Wu and said, "Duan Shiyan has been silently protecting you since ten years ago."
The secret love that lasted for ten years, the near-death experience of buying flowers for her... any one of these things alone is enough to shock people.
But he just brushed them off lightly without mentioning a word.
"Why....."
As if she had finally found her voice, Jin Wu raised her eyes, which had been swollen from crying, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why did he never tell me these things..."
He is obviously the most outspoken and fearless young man, so why is he so humble and cautious?
Why is it that their relationship has already been made clear, and he seems to be worried about something and dares not tell her all his efforts.
Xue Nan lowered his eyes, pulled the corner of his mouth, and smiled helplessly.
"I've asked him the same question as you before."
Recalling what Duan Shiyan said that day.
"He said he didn't want to burden you."
Xue Nan's voice was slightly hoarse, "He said that he doesn't want you to feel uneasy and force yourself to accept him. He hopes that you can enjoy being loved, rather than being a burden.
He also said that his love for you and his kindness to you were all his own wishful thinking, and you never needed to take any responsibility for him.
"Silly, isn't it?"
Xue Nan shook his head and laughed again, "I also asked this idiot, asked him, have you ever thought that if your sister-in-law doesn't know about your past efforts, then how can she know your past goodness and then like you? Guess what he said?"
"He said—"
"Then chase her again. If once is not enough, then keep chasing her until she is willing to like me."
Jin Wu's heart was shaken and she couldn't stop crying.
When she realized that she had fallen in love with Duan Shiyan, she had hoped countless times that he would fall in love with her too.
But actually.
Before she said she liked him, he had already loved her thousands of times.
"Sister-in-law, you can question everything in this world, but you absolutely cannot question Duan Shiyan's love."
Xue Nan raised his slightly red eyes and looked at Jin Wu, saying softly, "He has always, always been loving you with all his strength and life."
The world keeps repeating itself, spring, summer, autumn and winter, cold and heat, spring and autumn, the four seasons cycle.
Everything exists, dies, and dissipates over time, and then the cycle repeats itself again.
Only His love is eternal.
Time waits for no one.
But Duan Shiyan can.
