Seeing her best friend in such pain, Shen Niannian felt a little down, but more than anything, she felt heartache.
She reached out her hand, and Luo Qingyuan walked over as well. The two of them held hands and lay down on the same bed.
"Qingyuan, time will always make everything alright."
"Duan Ye is a trustworthy person, but I hope you can be happy even more."
"So, no matter what decision you make, I, as your best friend and sister-in-law, will always support you."
Luo Qingyuan closed her eyes in Shen Niannian's arms and didn't say much.
At noon, Ding Yifen had someone deliver nourishing chicken soup and meals. Luo Qingyuan ate with Shen Niannian and then played with the child.
One o'clock in the afternoon.
Luo Qingyuan looked at Shen Niannian, who was playing with the child, and said, "Niannian, I'm leaving."
Shen Niannian's fingers paused slightly. She actually had a slight premonition, but she still only asked her one question: "Have you thought it through?"
Luo Qingyuan nodded, her eyes inexplicably reddening: "I've thought it through."
Shen Niannian knew that Luo Qingyuan didn't even want to say goodbye to them. She wasn't even willing to be honest with her best friend.
No one could stop the eldest daughter of the Luo family from leaving.
So, Shen Niannian said, "Take care of yourself..."
Her gaze then fell on Luo Qingyuan's lower abdomen: "And the baby."
Luo Qingyuan nodded, then left the ward without saying anything more.
As soon as the door closed, Shen Niannian couldn't control her emotions and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, gently coaxing the child.
Actually, she had already thought of it when Luo Qingyuan came to her house for so long and didn't leave.
She just thought that Luo Qingyuan was pregnant, had parents, brother, sister-in-law, niece, her best friend, and the person she loved in Kyoto.
Luo Qingyuan wouldn't be that heartless, but she still forgot...
This is the dignified eldest daughter of the Luo family.
Once a decision is made, nothing can be changed, not even if the sky falls.
After leaving the hospital, Luo Qingyuan got directly into the driver's car, where her luggage, which she had prepared in advance, was in the trunk.
And so, without telling anyone, Luo Qingyuan arrived at the airport at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Her flight was at 4:20 PM.
She had to transfer to a country, E, which is nearly 20,000 kilometers away from China in a straight line.
That was South America. She traveled very, very far, with two layovers alone.
And there, she might begin a new life.
Duan Ye came out of the research lab and received a call from his friend Lin Feng.
After the wedding, Lin Feng and Sun Xiaoyin went back to school without stopping. Lin Feng called to offer his condolences at his grandmother's funeral, but then they lost contact.
So when Lin Feng suddenly called, Duan Ye was a little surprised.
After all, his brothers usually don't bother him during his work hours.
As soon as the call connected, Lin Feng's dejected voice rang out: "Duan Ye, Xiaoyin and I are completely over."
Duan Ye was stunned for a moment: "What happened? Didn't you guys go back to China together?"
Lin Feng asked, "Are you busy right now?"
Duan Ye: "I'm not busy. I just finished one phase. What's up? Tell me."
Lin Feng rambled on for about twenty minutes, saying that after they went back, they lived in their respective dormitories again, both of them busy with their own research projects, and they rarely saw each other. When they finally managed to have a meal together, they would argue over all sorts of trivial matters.
Gradually, they even stopped eating together.
When the two realized that they hadn't eaten together in a long time, Sun Xiaoyin broke up with him again.
They came back to China together to attend Duan Ye's wedding, but it seemed like... it was just a brief reconciliation before their complete breakup.
Lin Feng: "We had our last meal together today, reminisced about the past, and finally... parted ways peacefully."
Duan Ye felt quite uncomfortable after hearing this.
He assumed that since Sun Xiaoyin was willing to return to China with Lin Feng, they would definitely be together in the future.
Do you know what Xiaoyin's last words to me were?
Duan Ye's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason: "What?"
She told me to take care of myself.
Just those words seemed to strike Duan Ye's heart like a heavy blow, and his face turned deathly pale.
"Isn't it ridiculous..."
Lin Feng's voice continued, but Duan Ye's mind quickly recalled the events of the early hours of this morning.
Did Luo Qingyuan say the same thing as Sun Xiaoyin?
Lin Feng, seeing that Duan Ye remained silent, called him several times, "Duan Ye, Duan Ye..."
Duan Ye snapped out of his daze: "Lin Feng, I have something to take care of. I'll call you later."
After saying that, Duan Ye quickly hung up the phone and glanced at the time on his watch.
It is 3:40 PM now.
Duan Ye called Luo Qingyuan, but no one answered.
Duan Ye called three times in a row, but no one answered each time.
Duan Ye frowned and called Shen Niannian.
"Sister-in-law, I called Qingyuan, but she didn't answer. Where is she?"
Luo Qingyuan promised to stay with Shen Niannian at the hospital today, so she won't go to the company.
Shen Niannian was silent for two seconds before saying, "Luo Qingyuan left after lunch today, but she didn't tell me where she went."
Duan Ye's heart sank to the bottom. While he was lingering there, he glanced at his watch again and found that ten minutes had already passed.
Duan Ye couldn't wait any longer, so he told his colleague and took off his work clothes to go to his workstation.
He turned on the computer with trembling hands, then quickly opened the website and entered Luo Qingyuan's ID number. Due to the slow internet speed, sweat beaded on his forehead.
