Chapter 88 Return to Jian Yi Thin
Gao Li also has a half-sister and half-brother. His sister is fifteen years old and his brother is twelve years old.
My sister jumped home happily and couldn't wait to take out the trophy from her schoolbag as soon as she got home.
"Mom, I won first place in today's dance competition."
Cao Mei took the trophy and couldn't let it go.
"Mom will celebrate for you tonight. Come, go buy two bottles of Coke."
My sister and brother pushed and shoved each other, and neither of them wanted to go.
Gao Li stood aside awkwardly, after being pushed and shoved for who knows how many times.
"I'll go."
Her younger brother and sister stopped fighting and looked at her together, as if they had just noticed her presence.
Gao Li took the money and went out, breathing the fresh air, and suddenly felt that it was good to be out.
My younger sister acted coquettishly, "Mom, why do I feel like my older sister has become prettier?"
"Girls change a lot as they grow up, and they become more and more beautiful."
My sister muttered.
“I want to be this beautiful when I grow up.”
Cao Mei nodded her head lovingly. "What would you like to eat?"
My sister made a face and spread her hands out exaggeratedly.
"I want something spicy, really spicy."
Cao Mei touched her head lovingly and agreed.
This daughter just takes after her father, she loves spicy food.
Not wanting to face the awkward atmosphere, Gao Li stayed outside for a while before going back with the drinks.
She choked as soon as she opened the door.
The kitchen must have cooked some spicy dishes. Gao Li knew that her sister liked spicy food. Since she won the award today, she must reward her.
Without thinking much, she put down the drinks, opened them, and took out disposable cups to distribute to everyone.
When all the dishes were served, Gao Li was a little dumbfounded.
The table was full of dishes, almost all of which were spicy.
She chose a plate of light-looking lettuce, but when she put it in her mouth, she choked.
She coughed several times and drank a few drinks before the symptoms subsided.
Cao Mei was stunned and slapped her head.
"Oh, look at my memory. I forgot you said you can't eat spicy food. How about I cook another dish for you?"
Gao Li's heart sank, he clenched the cup and shook his head.
"No."
At the dinner table, her stepfather asked about her injury.
Cao Mei answered for her, "It's okay, just a slight concussion, but I'm fine now."
The younger sister and brother started fighting again, all for a chicken drumstick. Cao Mei scolded them on the surface, but actually doted on them.
There were so many dishes on the table that Gao Li didn't know where to start.
Looking at the warmth of her family, she felt mixed emotions, as none of this belonged to her.
She ate almost nothing and drank a few Cokes.
After finishing, Cao Mei tidied up in the kitchen.
"I still have work to do, so I'm leaving now."
Without waiting for Cao Mei to speak, she pushed the door and left.
The rows of street lights illuminated the way back and also warmed Gao Li's heart a little.
She heard hurried footsteps behind her. It was Cao Mei who caught up with her and grabbed her.
Cao Mei didn't even have time to take off her apron.
"Xiao Li, are you feeling upset because I forgot what you said and didn't make light dishes?"
Gao Li's face was gloomy. "No."
A cool breeze blew, ruffling her hair, and Gao Li gently hooked it behind her ear.
"Do you have any money left? Do you need more?"
"unnecessary."
No more extra words.
Her attitude and tone couldn't be more obvious.
Cao Mei blinked, and her next words sounded tearful.
"You're still blaming me, aren't you?"
"Xiao Li, you're the oldest, you're the older sister, and you'll be graduating and working in a year. Can you please be more considerate of your mother?"
"It's been tough for me these past few years. I don't have a job, and all the money I earn is from your uncle. We also have a lot of expenses at home, and the money I give you is all from my hard work and savings. But thankfully, you're sensible and were able to work early on."
Under the orange-yellow street lights, Gao Li lowered his head, swaying on the stones under his feet.
"I know you're resentful of me, blaming me for getting married again. But Xiao Li, your father died too young. Now that he's gone, the living have to move on. We can't keep dwelling on the past."
Only after hearing the word "Dad" did Gao Li react.
When she raised her head again, tears rolled down her eyes, leaving two clear tear marks on her pretty face. She felt extremely aggrieved.
"But I'm still alive."
It was a very light sentence, but it seemed to express all her grievances and accusations.
"I'm alive."
Dad is dead, but she is still alive.
She never blamed Cao Mei for remarrying. What she blamed was that after she remarried and had a new child and a new family, she forgot about her.
It turns out that she is from the past.
Cao Mei started a new life. She and her father were both in the past. But she was still alive, still alive by her side.
Cao Mei was stunned. This was the first time she saw her eldest daughter crying so aggrievedly.
Gao Li gathered her clothes, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, said nothing, turned around and left.
She was walking slowly along the roadside, and the cool breeze made her eyes sore.
She walked to the bus stop, but there were no buses left, so she had to take a taxi back.
But Gao Li didn't take a taxi, so he sat alone at the bus stop for a very long time.
She doubled over onto her knees, unable to hold back her soft sobs any longer.
At this moment, she missed Jian Yi very much.
It was already very late when she returned. Gao Li sat at the table, turned on the computer, and flipped through her novel.
Since she came back, she has deliberately avoided it and dared not even look at the novel, for fear of evoking endless longing.
But tonight, she missed him too much.
Whenever Gao Li saw the name Jian Yi in the novel, it would stir up endless ripples in her heart. When she saw the ending, her eyes were blurred with tears.
How could she be so cruel to write such an ending for him?
She glanced at the time. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, too late.
She wanted to call the editor tomorrow to rewrite the ending and add some extra stories about Jian Yi, hoping that he could live happily in another time and space.
Suddenly, the black words on the computer page began to float.
Gao Li rubbed his eyes hard and opened them again.
She was not mistaken, the black words were floating, disrupting, and reorganizing.
Looking at the content above, she opened her mouth in shock.
Because that was the novel she conceived based on her experiences in the world of the book. The novel was abandoned halfway through, but the one that appeared before her now had the names changed to their real names. The most important thing was that it completed the subsequent plot and had an ending.
Gao Li slid the mouse with trembling hands to see the ending.
[That was the ending Gao Li wrote herself, but she didn't know that it was this ending that made her rejected and unable to stay.
Jian Yi made a deal with the system, whereby the pain of rejection suffered by Gao Li was doubled and transferred to him, and in return he handed over half of his property to the system.
The day Gao Li left, he vomited blood and fell seriously ill.
After waking up from his illness, looking at the villa where only one person was, his personality became even more silent.
Every night when he missed her, he would carve a puppet in the image of Gao Li.
As spring goes and autumn comes, throughout the four seasons, he carved a whole room full of Gao Li's paintings, recording every expression in his memory.
He missed her so much.
Only when I occasionally dream will I see that figure and think of every little thing that happened in the villa.
Thinking about it day and night, his health deteriorated rapidly.
He knew his situation, yet he allowed himself to fall.
When the maple leaves turned red again, he lay on the bench under the tree, recalling their separation here a year ago.
He no longer had the energy to carve puppets; this would be his last time.
Jian Yi looked at the azure sky, but his eyes were dull, as if his soul had drifted away with his lover.
Gao Li, where are you?
I miss you so much, I really miss you. 】
After watching the ending, Gao Li was already crying with tears streaming down his face.
My fingertips touched the name on the screen, and my heart ached so much that I couldn't breathe.
No wonder she was obviously not feeling well during that period and was admitted to the hospital several times, but suddenly one day she was fine.
No wonder he was in so much pain that time. Only a fool like her would believe that it was hypoglycemia.
It was her own fault. She wrote this ending. She was such a bad person, but he still liked her so much. What a fool.
Gao Li sobbed and switched computer pages with trembling hands.
She couldn't wait to inform the editor that she wanted to change the ending.
But at this moment her mind was blank and she couldn't think of how to rewrite the ending.
Suddenly she felt dizzy.
Gao Li shook his head and regained consciousness for a moment.
If you can't think of a rewrite of the ending, then just leave out the most crucial sentence.
She deleted the fatal ending.
She mercilessly deleted the line, "No one will ever know or stay with him throughout his life. This is the end of his evil deeds."
My brain is getting heavier and my vision is blurring.
Gao Li clenched his fist to his lips, biting the back of his hand to keep himself awake, and watched himself publish the new content, then switched to the reader account to confirm that the last sentence was really deleted.
I'm sorry that I acted without reporting to the editor, but the abnormality told Gao Li that she seemed to have no time to hesitate.
After confirming it, she just breathed a sigh of relief when she completely lost consciousness and fell on the table.
Then, the person passed through the words and disappeared.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the very familiar maple tree.
Gao Li froze for a moment, unable to believe it.
She's back, she's really back.
She spent a month outside, but here it was like four seasons.
Lying under the maple tree was the person she had been thinking about day and night. The moment she saw him, her legs and feet went weak and she could not support herself, so she fell to the ground.
It was obvious that when she left, he had recovered and was as healthy as before.
But now.
He just lay there with his eyes closed, like a broken elf.
Maple leaves fell, covering his face.
Gao Li gently stroked the fallen maple leaves, and in an instant, tears fell like rain.
How could he be so thin and haggard?
"Stupid, didn't you tell me to forget you? Then why didn't you forget?"
But the man was already drifting from consciousness, he could not hear her voice and had no strength to speak.
Gao Li looked around but couldn't find anyone else.
She was extremely anxious and called the system.
"No. 13, are you there, are you there?"
There must be a way. The system couldn't have sent her in just to let her watch Jian Yi die.
"If you're here, come out!"
This must be the system's doing.
"Hello, Gao Li, I'm here."
It was a familiar voice, and Gao Li breathed a sigh of relief.
There is salvation, Jian Yi is saved.
