Glad he could save her.
More than a week later, Chen Xing was discharged from the hospital again. He hugged Fu Ying goodbye, held Chen Tian's urn in his arms, and left that sad place with the things he left for her.
Fu Ying asked Chen Xing about her future plans. Chen Xing just smiled faintly and said that she didn't know. She also didn't know how long she could walk alone, but she would take Chen Tian's share and go further.
Fu Ying looked at Chen Xing's receding back, wondering if they would ever meet again.
Recalling the first time she met Chen Xing, she was lively and cheerful, a little temperamental but cute and playful. Now she was only eighteen years old, but she had experienced life and death that were not suitable for her age. She grew up overnight and became infected with the sentimentality of an adult.
Chen Xing seemed to have recovered these days, but in fact his wounded heart was only temporarily mended.
Chen Xing returned to Xinghai City with the money left to her by Chen Tian. She did not go home. The home she had long abandoned was no longer her home.
Chen Xing only stayed in Xinghai City for one day. She called Shi Nannan and told her that she was leaving and didn't want her to see her off, but she and Shen Xuyang both came to the airport.
When Chen Xing was hospitalized, her documents were all in her own hands. She is now a free person and can go wherever she wants at any time.
At the airport, Shi Nannan saw Chen Xing again after half a month. She felt that she was no longer the same Chen Xing, but at the same time, nothing had changed. She still smiled, but she wasn't truly happy...
Shi Nannan heard about Chen Tian's situation. When she saw the black box in Chen Xing's arms, she didn't ask anything because she didn't want to hurt Chen Xing's feelings anymore.
Shi Nannan said, "Xingxing, I'm still worried about you going to Beijing alone. It's all my parents' fault. They forced me to enroll in a college close to home. Otherwise, I could go with you."
Shi Nannan's college entrance examination results were worthy of her three years of hard work. Although she did not get into undergraduate school, she was able to go to a better junior college.
Originally, Shi Nannan didn't want to go to school anymore and wanted to stay at home to hone her novel writing skills, but her parents said that if she didn't want to go to school, she could learn bookkeeping in their own store.
Shi Nannan didn't want to do such a boring job, so she had to continue her studies so that she could have some free time and do what she was interested in.
But her parents were worried about her going to study in another city, so they kept her in the city.
Chen Xing curled his lips and said, "What's there to worry about? We've all grown up, and it's time for us to learn to be independent."
When Shi Nannan heard what Chen Xing said, she suddenly couldn't follow it and felt that they were not of the same age group.
Chen Xing said, "Okay, stop looking so sad. Smile. It's not like we'll never see each other again."
Shi Nannan and Chen Xing have been playing together since junior high school and meet almost every day. Suddenly, Chen Xing has to go to college so far away, and she doesn't even want to go home anymore. What is there for her to miss here? It might be difficult for them to meet again in the future.
Shi Nannan smiled and said, "Well, when I'm free, I'll go over there to play with you."
Chen Xing smiled and nodded, then suddenly looked at Shen Xuyang who was beside Shi Nannan. She said, "Although I know that you can treat Nannan sincerely without me saying anything, I still want to tell you that if you make her sad, I will be the first one to not let you go."
Shen Xuyang said: "I know, don't worry, that day will never come. I will definitely be the one who loves her the most."
Chen Xing smiled. She believed in Shen Xuyang's feelings for Shi Nannan. After all, as a bystander, she saw it most clearly.
Shi Nannan was a little confused and asked, "Xingxing, when did you know that?"
Chen Xing said: "You can't hide your love for someone, unless..."
Chen Xing touched Shi Nannan's still innocent smiling face and said, "You must be happy. I am still looking forward to attending your wedding."
Shi Nannan glanced at Shen Xuyang shyly, but he was surprisingly calm.
Shi Nannan said, "Oh! Xingxing, this is just the beginning. It's still uncertain what will happen in the future."
Chen Xuyang said: "What do you mean by not sure? Shi Nannan, I'm telling you, once you get on my boat, don't even think about getting off. If you dare to abandon me, I will..."
Shi Nannan stared at Shen Xuyang and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Shen Xuyang lost all his energy and immediately took Shi Nannan's hand that was poking his chest and stopped talking.
Shi Nannan's proud expression was somewhat cute, "Humph! I can't cure you anymore."
Chen Xing watched them bickering, and it was as if he had returned to the past, when they were still wearing their school uniforms, walking on the sidewalk of Xingfu Road. Tall, shady trees lined both sides, and the ground was covered with golden leaves...
It had only been a short while since she took off her school uniform and left school, but why did she feel as if she were in another world?
There had always been three people, then there were four, and now there are three again.
Chen Xing glanced at the time and said, "Okay, I should go now. Let's get together again sometime."
Before Shi Nannan could call Chen Xing to hug her, Shen Xuyang called out, "Chen Xing, wait a moment."
Chen Xing frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Xuyang took out a beautifully wrapped box from his pocket, handed it to Chen Xing, and said, "This is Wen Yu's eighteenth birthday gift that I gave to you."
Chen Xing looked at the box in her hand, her eyes a little dull. She hadn't heard his name for a long time. There were so many things happening recently that she had forgotten about him.
Chen Xing always thought that Wen Yu went to the United States on the night of her eighteenth birthday. She hadn't seen him in the past two months. Maybe he didn't want to see her anymore, after all, he had rejected her.
Chen Xing raised his head and said, "Tell him thank you and goodbye for me!"
Chen Xing still accepted Wen Yu's gift. After all, they were still friends, at least that's what she thought. But they probably wouldn't see each other again.
If it weren't for what happened to Chen Tian, if her heart disease hadn't recurred, she might have bravely tried once to catch up with him.
But she has nothing left, and she is not even sure how much future she has. In the end, she can no longer consider herself a normal person, nor can she have a normal life.
Ordinary love, marriage and childbirth are all luxuries that she dare not even think about. She is lucky to be able to survive. Maybe she won’t be so lucky next time.
Chen Xing put the gift into her bag. She remembered something and said, "Oh, I can't pay him back for the money I spent on hospitalization yet. I will pay him back when I make some money. Please tell him for me."
Shen Xuyang knew that Wen Yu would not want it, but Chen Xing insisted on his own opinion. He could only say, "Okay, I'll tell him. Don't worry, settle him down first, and then talk about other things."
Chen Xing nodded. They all thought that it was too impulsive and childish for her to leave her hometown alone, but Chen Xing just wanted to put the past behind her and start over. She wanted to live her own life and be herself without any constraints.
This was something she had always wanted to do, but she had never expected it to start this way.
Chen Xing took a last look at her two best friends. She never thought that separation would come soon before, but now that they met, she felt that time passed too quickly. Before she could cherish the time they had together, they had to set sail. There was reluctance, but more of an expectation for the future.
Chen Xing, Shi Nannan and Shen Xuyang hugged each other, smiled at them, waved, turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
Shi Nannan looked at Chen Xing's lonely back, and her emotions suddenly surged in her heart. Her eyes were sore and she wanted to cry.
Shen Xuyang took Shi Nannan's hand and led her to the exit. His tone was very gentle and touched Shi Nannan's heart. He said, "Don't be sad. We will see each other again."
Shi Nannan smiled and nodded, and the tears in her eyes turned into joy and excitement in anticipation of reunion.
"Wen Yu, you...didn't you leave?" Shi Nannan was quite surprised to see Wen Yu appear at the airport.
Shi Nannan also thought that Wen Yu had gone abroad. She knew that Chen Xing wanted to confess to Wen Yu on her birthday, but he left. Shi Nannan thought Chen Xing was sad because of this, so she didn't dare to mention Wen Yu to Chen Xing.
But instead of leaving, he secretly came to the airport to see Chen Xing off, which made Shi Nannan's mind a mess.
Shen Xuyang never found an opportunity to tell Shi Nannan about Wen Yu. During the time when Chen Xing was in the hospital, Shi Nannan had complaints about Wen Yu, so he was even more afraid to say it.
Shen Xuyang knew that Wen Yu couldn't let go of Chen Xing, so he specially asked Wen Yu to see Chen Xing for the last time. As a result, even after Chen Xing left, Wen Yu was reluctant to leave.
Shen Xuyang walked to Wen Yu, looked at his distraught appearance, and said, "Okay, stop looking, and go back."
When Shi Nannan heard this, she pointed at Shen Xuyang and said, "What's going on? You also know that he didn't leave? Why am I getting more and more confused?"
Shi Nannan felt her mind was in a mess and she still hadn't figured out what happened between Chen Xing and Wen Yu.
Shen Xuyang pulled Shi Nannan over and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
Shi Nannan let go of Shen Xuyang's hand, chased after Wen Yu and asked, "Wen Yu, what did you say to Chen Xing? Why is she so disappointed in you?"
Wen Yu remained silent and had no answer.
Shi Nannan kept asking, "Since you didn't leave, why didn't you come to celebrate Chen Xing's birthday? Did you know that she was going to..."
Wen Yu suddenly interrupted, "That's enough! Stop talking! I know everything."
When Shi Nannan heard this, she was not that angry at first, but when she saw Wen Yu's cold and indifferent attitude, she became furious and insisted on seeking justice for Chen Xing.
Shi Nannan angrily said, "You know everything, so why didn't you go see Chen Xing when she was in the hospital? Where were you when she had a heart attack? You keep saying you love her, but when she was most sad, Chen Tian...why weren't you by her side?"
Shi Nannan was a little excited. She really didn't understand. He had admitted that he liked Chen Xing, so why didn't he take any action yet? This time he even sent Chen Xing away. Why did this happen?
Shen Xuyang apologized to the pedestrians around him, stood next to Shi Nannan and said, "Calm down, it's not what you think."
Shi Nannan was furious. Without a reasonable explanation, she wouldn't listen to anyone. She only remembered how Chen Xing cried heartbreakingly when she learned of Chen Tian's death, which made her feel distressed.
Wen Yu seems to be indifferent these days, but in fact he cares about Chen Xing more than anyone else. However, he has no choice. He can't appear in her life again. It's also good to see her leave like this and live the life she wants freely.
He kept persuading himself, it’s okay, you can save her and give her a good future without him.
Shi Nannan looked at Wen Yu who remained silent. She couldn't help but yell, "Wen Yu! Say something!"
Wen Yu let out a long sigh, his calm face filled with sadness. If breathing was painful, he would have been covered in bruises long ago.
Wen Yu turned his head with tears in his eyes. He faced Shi Nannan's questioning eyes and said, "You asked me why, then I will tell you everything."
"I clearly like her, but I can't tell her in person. I clearly love her deeply, but I can't show her any affection in front of her. I clearly want to be with her forever, but I can't hold her hand and accompany her until we grow old. I also want to have a long future with her, but I...but I don't have that much time."
Shi Nannan listened to Wen Yu's helpless words, looked at his sad face, and asked in confusion: "What do you mean you don't have much time left? Explain clearly!"
Shen Xuyang suddenly grabbed Wen Yu, but Wen Yu blurted out, his eyes full of tears but he smiled and said: "I am very glad that I could save her. When she needs me for the last time, I will give her everything I have. I just hope that she will be happy for the rest of her life."
Shi Nannan and Shen Xuyang looked at Wen Yu's bitter and smiling eyes. They couldn't say a word and didn't even have the qualifications to stop him. They just felt that his love for Chen Xing was great, selfless, and incomparable.
They were both happy for Chen Xing and sorry for Wen Yu. They were afraid that Chen Xing would not be able to accept it if she knew everything in the future. Even if they didn't say anything, no secret could remain hidden forever, especially buried love.
