I'm sorry, Grandma...
Two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks, and Jiang Yu silently recited in her heart.
The past scenes flashed through Jiang Yu's mind like a series of PowerPoint presentations, including images of her parents, her grandmother, and other scenes that were of great significance to her.
These are all things that Jiang Yu can't let go of; some she couldn't let go of before, and some she still can't let go of now.
Then, a figure that surprised her appeared in her mind.
A boy with blond hair and a roguish smile.
Jiang Yu's hand, which was gripping the knot, stiffened slightly.
Immediately, those eyes, which even the Creator marveled at, widened instantly, filled with a deep sense of disbelief.
Xia Che?
How could he be here?
Even Jiang Yu herself couldn't have imagined that, as she was about to die, the person who appeared in her heart was Xia Che, whom she had only known for a short time.
Prior to this, Jiang Yu had never realized this problem.
But now, she understands.
It turns out that Xia Che had already unknowingly integrated into her life and become an indispensable part of her daily routine.
only……
When?
Was it before you even enrolled in school, when he helped you on the bus?
Or was it after enrolling in school that the other person shamelessly wanted to be friends with me?
Or is it... the care I've received over this period of time and the daily tutoring?
Jiang Yu fell into deep thought, her breathing quickening slightly as she pondered.
She was somewhat confused.
When she thought of Xia Che, a subtle joy seemed to emerge from her otherwise gloomy mood. This joy might not seem like much at first glance, but upon closer reflection, Jiang Yu was shocked to discover that, apart from Xia Che, no one else could give her this feeling.
But why is that?
Jiang Yu couldn't understand it.
Before meeting Xia Che, she had never met anyone who could give her this feeling, and she had absolutely no experience to draw upon.
"Never mind... nothing matters anymore."
Jiang Yu shook her head and let out a long sigh. Death may be terrible for ordinary people, but for her... it might be a relief.
Having survived for so long, Jiang Yu is already extremely exhausted.
Although there are still plans that haven't been completed and my goals haven't been achieved, I'm grateful to Xia Che for allowing me to experience a touch of sweetness, and that's enough.
I shouldn't be greedy anymore.
With that thought, Jiang Yu no longer hesitated. She gripped the knot tighter and slowly looped the knot around her neck, closing her eyes once more.
Her breathing became rapid, and she braced her hands on the wheelchair, intending to use her last bit of strength to push it away, so that... everything would be over.
Suddenly, a rapid knocking on the door woke Jiang Yu up.
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang—
The knocking was loud, and the already old door, after being pounded on so repeatedly, even made a grating creak as if it were about to fall off.
"...Who would it be at this time?"
Jiang Yu was a little puzzled. The neighbors all knew about her family's situation and rarely came to visit, let alone come so early in the morning.
But I don't have any friends who would ask me to hang out on weekends, and it's not during class time, so who else could I ask?
Jiang Yu quickly went through the details in her mind, and after confirming that she hadn't made any plans to meet anyone today, she pursed her lips and decided to pretend she hadn't heard anything.
Anyway, if that person knocks for a while and no one opens the door for him, he'll leave on his own, right?
The person knocking on the door seemed very patient, banging and banging as if he would keep knocking until the end of time if no one opened the door for him.
The soundproofing of the tiled house was already almost non-existent, and the loud knocking sound entered Jiang Yu's ears, entering through her left ear and exiting through her right, gradually becoming more and more piercing.
It's unbearable...
"...What's wrong with this person? Knocking on the door like that so early in the morning, doesn't he worry about disturbing others?!"
Jiang Yu broke down, "Who is it?!"
Even Jiang Yu, who had already resolved to die, and who was usually good-tempered, was somewhat broken down by the torment of this piercing noise...
"Hey, you're in there, right?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice made Jiang Yu, who was already on the verge of a breakdown, freeze in shock.
Xia...Xia Che?
Why would he come?
“I know it might be a bit early... Why didn’t you answer my phone all night? Why didn’t you reply to my calls? It was really worrying, so I thought, since I can’t sleep anyway, I might as well come and find you.”
Although Xia Che, who was standing outside the door, did not know what had happened, he sensed a heavy atmosphere the moment he arrived at Jiang Yu's house, so he wisely did not ask any questions.
"Come out quickly, there's a surprise for you."
Xia Che clapped his hands and chuckled smugly.
"surprise?"
Jiang Yu's face contorted in pain. To be honest, she really didn't want to go out because she knew she would feel very relaxed in front of Xia Che.
But for her, who had just lost a loved one and saw no hope for the future, relaxation was not something she should be doing.
Why come at this time?
Wouldn't it be better to let her die peacefully at home alone?
Why would someone like me, with such a terrible personality and a quiet, unyielding person, necessarily come looking for me?
What is this person after?!
"Also... I know where your window is, and I know you can hear me right now. I'll count to ten. If you don't open the door for me, I'm going to climb overboard."
Unlike Xia Che's frivolous tone, his expression became very serious when Jiang Yu couldn't see it.
The ominous premonition in my heart grew stronger with each passing minute.
Xia Che didn't know what had happened, but he knew that if things continued to drag on and he couldn't see Jiang Yu for a long time, the situation would definitely develop to a point that he would find unacceptable.
Definitely.
So, in desperation, Xia Che didn't care about anything else and started a countdown. He decided that if Jiang Yu still didn't open the door for him within ten counts, then he would stop talking nonsense and climb over the wall.
"ten……"
Before I could even finish reciting the first number, the tightly closed door in front of me suddenly burst open with a bang.
Jiang Yu sat irritably in her wheelchair, her small face tense and fierce: "What do you want?!"
Jiang Yu was really angry at this moment.
Because she knew Xia Che's fearless nature, if she didn't come out, he would definitely do as he said and climb in through the window.
So I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out.
"Oh, you've finally decided to come out?"
Xia Che first carefully observed Jiang Yu, his gaze lingering slightly on the other's reddened eyes. His heart sank slightly, but he then casually looked away.
Are you ready?
He chuckled.
