Chen Huai planned to take Si Jiu for a physical examination, but Si Jiu changed the subject several times. In addition, he saw that Si Jiu was in good spirits these days and had not been unable to sleep for a long time, so he did not insist.
Chen Huai could feel the improvement of his health more and more obviously day by day. His mood became happier and he smiled more and more.
This villa, which had always been cold and silent, seemed to be full of endless vitality.
He loved to spend time with Sijiu on the terrace, basking in the sun. The two of them could be quiet and silent, Sijiu reading while he looked at documents, or they could chat occasionally.
Neither of them had a happy childhood, so they didn't talk about the past but about the future.
"After the New Year, when the weather gets warmer, I'll have someone put a swing for you in the flower garden."
Sijiu hummed and shrank her neck, so Chen Huai reached out and touched her cheek, "Cold?"
“A little.”
Chen Huai turned the wheelchair to her side, helped her wrap the small blanket tighter, and held her hands in his palms, trying to give her some warmth.
"What kind of flowers do you like? I'll ask the gardener to plant more in the garden."
This wasn't the first time he'd been planning for the future, and Si Jiu felt that he shouldn't be allowed to continue.
"Ahuai, the documents I took from your safe last time..."
Chen Huai's grip tightened, "There's no need to talk about this anymore."
"But I do intend to sell your information for a good price." Si Jiu was pinched by him and felt pain. He twitched but couldn't pull his hand away. He said helplessly, "I'm not a good person. I just approached you for money."
She showed Chen Huai what he wanted to avoid directly in front of him.
"Look, if I can sell your information for five million, I can sell your life for even more."
"Stop talking."
"I just want to tell you that I'm not a good person. Don't bother with me."
System: [Host…]
Wine steward: [Shut up the wheat.]
There was a long silence. Just when Si Jiu thought he had figured it out, he heard Chen Huai say, "You like money, I have it. I can give you as much as you want."
Sijiu: “!!!”
[No way. Is it really okay for the male protagonist to be so humble? ]
System: Hehehe.
Chen Huai leaned over and hugged her tightly, saying, "As long as you don't leave me."
No response was received.
Chen Huai's good mood of the past few days disappeared.
He still didn't want to believe that Si Jiu would really sell him out for money. In the intercepted document, apart from evidence of Shen Zhe's embezzlement of public funds, the Shen family's confidential document bag was empty.
He believed that his Tangtang had no choice but to do so, and he also didn't believe that she had no feelings for him at all.
They slept in each other's arms for such a long time, and how good he was to her for such a long time, how could she not feel it?
But Chen Huai didn't feel at ease because of this. On the contrary, he felt uneasy.
"Wait... in a few days, I have something important to tell you."
His legs have recovered well and he has begun to regain more and more sensation. According to the doctor, he may be able to stand up again at any time.
He would wait until the day he could stand up again, and tell her his feelings and decision as soon as possible.
…
This day came sooner than Chen Huai expected.
That night, he was awakened by severe pain in his legs. Then, as if he had a premonition of something, he slowly moved his legs to the edge of the bed.
When his bare feet touched the floor, he felt a cool sensation from the soles of his feet. He unconsciously turned his head to look and saw that Si Jiu was still sleeping soundly.
He exerted a little force with his legs and supported himself on the edge of the bed with his hands. The next second, Chen Huai stood up.
[Gold Finger signed. Do you want to leave this world?]
Si Jiu opened his eyes silently and saw Chen Huai's back as he stood up with the help of the wall with some difficulty.
【Wait a while, leave after he falls asleep.】
System: [OK.]
After an unknown amount of time, Si Jiu felt something sink beside her, and she was once again embraced in a warm embrace. Above her head was Chen Huai constantly stroking her chin, and he chuckled softly, "Tangtang, go to sleep. Get up early, I have something important to tell you."
He hugged her contentedly and closed his eyes.
When his breathing became steady, Si Jiu sighed and said to the system, "Let's go."
System: […World is leaving. Ten, nine, eight…]
…
When Chen Huai woke up, there was even a smile on his lips.
Warm sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, forming tiny beams of light that fell on the pillow.
"Are you still asleep? How can you sleep so well? Are you a pig?"
Chen Huai lowered his head and kissed the top of the head of the person in his arms, calling her, "Tangtang."
Silence.
Chen Huai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the person in his arms was very cold.
My heartbeat suddenly became disordered.
"Sugar...Sugar?"
His smile froze, as if some terrible beast was about to burst out from the bottom of his heart. He slowly stretched out his hand and put it under Sijiu's nose.
For a long, long time.
Chen Huai slowly hugged the person in his arms who had no warmth left.
"How long...will you sleep?"
"You have to get up early."
"I’m waiting for you."
It was like a choked voice, so light that it disappeared into the air in an instant.
