Chapter 5 / Section 3: Separated by Yin and Yang
He didn't understand why the world had to be so cruel, separating them. He loved her so much, yet they could never be together again.
Jing Moran wanted to secretly take a bus to Yantai, Shandong. Still worried about Xiong Yingguang, he got up early to escape Mu Xinghe's sight and took a bus alone to the high-speed rail station to catch the train to Yantai, Shandong.
Jing Mozhan kept thinking of Xiong Yingguang's name, holding the delicious food he had prepared in his hands, but his hands were cut several times by the knife, and blood kept flowing out, drop by drop, but he felt no pain.
He held the lunchbox in the taxi, feeling the warmth of the food. He really wanted to see Xiong Yingguang, but he didn't want her to see him in his sad state.
Only after she left him for a city without him did he begin to panic, realizing how important she was to him. They were incapable of feeling even the slightest pain, existing like mirror images of each other; he and she were identical, yet no matter how hard he tried to get closer, she would only drift further and further away like a reverse magnet.
“Xiong Yingguang, I’m coming to see you right now. I’m willing to give up everything for you and ask for nothing in return. I’ll be happy as long as I’m with you.”
Jing Mo Ran cried and sobbed like a child who had lost a beloved toy, feeling depressed.
Suddenly, Mu Xinghe called, startling Jing Moran. Jing Moran spoke to Mu Xinghe in a calm tone, "Can you please stop bothering me? We're from different worlds. Let me go. I'm going to find Xiong Yingguang."
"You? You think you can be happy together just because you found her? Jing Mo Ran, should I say you're naive or childish? Neither of you knows the pain of being together. It only brings death closer. You think Xiong Ying Guang left you because she stopped loving you long ago."
"Shut up! I won't let you talk about Xiong Yingguang!" In a fit of anger, Jing Moran hung up the phone, his words still lingering in his mouth: "I won't let you talk about her..."
After the driver dropped Jing Mo Ran off at the high-speed rail station, Jing Mo Ran paid the taxi driver and turned to take the high-speed train to Shandong. He didn't waste a moment; he wanted to get to Yantai, Shandong to see Xiong Ying Guang as quickly as possible.
When Jing Mo Ran went to buy a ticket and board the train, the pen in his hand fell to the ground. He squatted down to pick it up, feeling as if something bad had happened.
"Take this and go through that side to enter the station later," the ticket seller said to Jing Moran.
"good."
Chen Yao was unaware that every step she took filled her with trepidation. Every second she sat in the car was filled with fear. Her heart was always with her, yet she was so far away and unreachable. Therefore, he would muster all his courage to approach her, even if it meant being covered in wounds, he would never abandon her. This time, he would give her a sense of security she had never felt before!
The moment Jing Mo Ran got on the bus, he started looking around for his seat. He wanted to get a good night's sleep; he had spent the entire night thinking about Xiong Ying Guang. After finding his seat, he started sleeping with his lunchbox in his arms.
Yantai, Shandong Province, Yantai Shanshan Hospital East Campus.
Xiong Yingguang had been waiting outside the operating room for a day and a night; she was exhausted and seemed completely distracted. Haiyang handed Xiong Yingguang some packed breakfast.
"Firefly, eat something! You'll collapse if you don't eat," Ocean said.
"My mother is still in the operating room, how can I eat?"
"But if you do this, your mother will also..."
Suddenly, the doctor came out, took off his mask, sighed, and said, "We've done everything we could. It's late-stage brain cancer; there's nothing we can do to save him..."
"Doctor, I beg you, I just want to save her. She's my only family in the world, I beg you." Xiong Yingguang grabbed the doctor and wouldn't let go, acting unreasonably.
"Child, your mother is gone. You must live well so that your mother can rest in peace."
The moment the doctor came out, Xiong Yingguang pushed open the operating room door and ran in to see her mother's youthful face, her eyes filled with tears of reluctance.
"Mom, I'm sorry I'm late. I've finally come to see you. Your daughter is very strong... very strong..." Xiong Yingguang held Chen Yao's hand, which was gradually losing its warmth, her heart filled with pain and regret.
Haiyang took out the inheritance certificate and placed it in front of Xiong Yingguang. After looking at it for a few minutes, Xiong Yingguang had already lost control of her emotions.
“Ms. Xiong Yingguang, please sign this! This is your mother’s only wish and last words before she passed away. She hopes that you will inherit her family business and property well,” Haiyang said.
"I..." Xiong Yingguang, unable to utter another word, stared at the inheritance decree, her whole body trembling.
Despite her heartache, Xiong Yingguang finally signed the inheritance agreement and the attached will. From now on, she could inherit property that did not belong to her own labor, but she had lost her beloved mother forever, her only relative.
Xiong Yingguang became a different person after leaving the East Campus of Yantai Shanshan Hospital in Shandong. She never felt sad again, and if she couldn't hold back her sadness, she wouldn't cry in front of others; she would only cry secretly.
The boy knew that what Xiong Yingguang would miss most was watching her leave him, leaving him alone in this world to live a lonely and helpless life. She would no longer be by his side from now on. Who would comfort him? Who would keep him company? When he turned around, he found that there was no one behind him.
At this moment, he realized that Xiong Yingguang and she were finally separated by death. He finally understood what the farthest distance in the world was: something that is desirable but unattainable, the day he loved her but never let her know, and the day when they were separated by death.
"Mom, look, the snow falling all over Yantai, Shandong, can't freeze my burning heart for you. If I could do it all over again, I would want to give up everything and live a peaceful, secluded life with you. Because as long as I'm with you, I feel that even if my heart aches, it's all worth it." After Xiong Yingguang finished speaking, tears fell one by one, like beads falling from a broken string to the ground.
The one he loved was so far away, and from now on he could only fight against the world alone, hoping that she could be happy in heaven.
