“He… cough cough cough…” Zhou Chunhua coughed incessantly with excitement.
Gu Yao quickly poured water over and patted his back, saying, "Don't get excited, he's still alive."
She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Gu Yao say that Lu Ming was still alive.
The next second, Gu Yao said, "But..."
"But?" The heart that had just relaxed immediately tightened again.
Gu Yao nodded, looking troubled, and said, "His condition is very bad."
At that moment, Zhou Chunhua's heart, which had been clenched in pain, finally died.
You should know that when Old Chen fell into a coma, Gu Yao only said that things weren't looking good.
If Gu Yao said it was very bad... then it definitely meant more than just "bad." Perhaps...
"Where is he?" Zhou Chunhua asked immediately.
"Don't worry, your body..."
"I'm... I'm fine." She gripped Gu Yao's hand tightly and asked anxiously, "Can... can I still see him?"
Gu Yao glanced at her, then silently helped her sit up and reached out to help her put on her slippers.
Zhou Chunhua was startled. How could she let Gu Yao help her put on her shoes!
"No... I can do it myself..."
Gu Yao, who remained silent, did not give her a chance to escape. He forcefully grabbed her ankle and forced her to put on her slippers.
Seeing that the die was cast, what could she say? She could only whisper, "Thank you."
Embarrassed, she stepped forward and tried to walk away.
However, the moment my foot touched the ground, it felt numb and painful, as if I were stepping on an electric grid.
The body instinctively wanted to escape, so it unconsciously lost its balance and fell to the side.
Before she could even call out, Gu Yao pulled her into his arms.
And so... the already awkward atmosphere became even more awkward.
Zhou Chunhua couldn't even look Gu Yao in the eye.
All I could do was frantically try to stand up.
However, Gu Yao bent down and picked her up horizontally.
"Gu..."
"You have an injury on your foot. Let me carry you over."
Gu Yao's unyielding aura forced her to swallow the words she was about to say.
However, at that moment, Zhou Chunhua sensed another gaze.
She turned her head and met Tongtong and Nini's gazes.
Zhou Chunhua, who was originally not doing anything special, suddenly became famous on Facebook for some reason.
Tongtong grinned mischievously and pushed Nini to turn around.
"Sis, I forgot something there. Come on, let's go get it."
Immediately afterwards, she heard the sound of the ward door opening and closing.
So the already awkward atmosphere inexplicably took on a strange ambiguity.
Just as she was wondering how to break the deadly awkward atmosphere, Gu Yao naturally picked her up and carried her outside.
Leaving the ward, Gu Yao walked down the hospital corridor as if no one else was around.
But the gazes around her made Zhou Chunhua feel so oppressed that she couldn't even lift her head.
Even though we were only two hospital rooms apart, it felt like a long march of 108,000 li.
Gu Yao stopped and put her down, then silently pushed open the door in front of him.
The sight inside made Zhou Chunhua hold her breath.
That's... Lu Ming?
It wasn't that she recognized him; it was just that Gu Yao said he would take her to see Lu Ming, and that's how they ended up here.
After all, the person lying in the hospital bed, covered in bandages, was completely unrecognizable!
He had a tube inserted into his throat, and there were various instruments by his bedside, such as a ventilator, that she had never even seen before.
The only sounds in the room, besides the machine, were the faint dripping sounds.
"How...how...could...he...become like this?"
But she couldn't bring herself to say the last few words.
Gu Yao pulled up a chair for her to sit down.
"He had seven bullet wounds in his chest, a comminuted fracture of his left shinbone, three fractures in his left shoulder, several fractures of varying sizes in his spine, and eight broken ribs, one of which pierced his lung."
When Captain Qin found you, he was practically on his last breath. The doctors said that the reason he'd been clinging to life until now wasn't just because of his incredible will to live, but also because he must have had unfinished wishes.
“Lu, Ming.” Zhou Chunhua, her eyes red, grasped the hand wrapped in bandages.
The next second, the instrument showed that Lu Ming's heart rate was rising rapidly.
Gu Yao ran over and took a look, then pressed the call button several times: "Doctor! Doctor, come quick!"
Finally, he even turned around and ran away.
At that moment, Zhou Chunhua's heart was stuck in her throat.
"Lu Ming, you can't die. Your mother is waiting for you to come back and see her. You... don't..."
Before she could finish speaking, her hand was gripped tightly.
Looking up, she saw Lu Ming holding her hand.
"Lu Ming!"
Looking up, their eyes met.
Lu Ming's eyes were full of longing and resentment, but a few seconds later, the look in his eyes suddenly changed.
His mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't make a sound because of the tubes inserted.
Zhou Chunhua could only concentrate all her attention to listen, and she could barely make out a few words: "You, living... is good."
He seemed to have accomplished some kind of mission, his lips curving upwards and his eyes slowly lowering.
A short while later, Lu Ming's eyes slowly became unfocused, and his pupils gradually lost their luster.
Even the hand he held in hers slowly lost its strength.
Zhou Chunhua knew that Lu Ming was about to leave.
"No!" She grabbed Lu Ming's hand and held it tightly. "Don't go! You promised me you'd try to live! Lu Ming! You can't go back on your word!"
Lu Ming's hand trembled as he withdrew it and then touched her face.
He wanted to ask if she held a place for him in her heart.
However, despite straining to open his mouth and exerting all his strength, he was unable to utter another word.
Zhou Chunhua's face suddenly became blurry, and then gradually became clear again. However, at this moment, Zhou Chunhua looked like she did twenty years ago.
The sky was overcast, and a light rain was falling.
The raindrops, like pearls, covered the transparent umbrella.
Under the umbrella, her slightly chubby face was tinged with a faint cherry blossom pink.
Beneath her delicate eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes lay a subtle yet undeniable air of heroism.
"Hey classmate? How are you? Are you alright?"
With concerned voices and warm hands, they helped him up from the mud.
"Wait here, I'm going to find the teacher right now. You're bleeding from your head, don't move, I'll be right back!"
The girl forcefully shoved the umbrella into his hand and ran into the rain.
She shielded her head with her hand, her long hair tied in a ponytail swaying with her dark blue pleated skirt, like a fairy in the rain.
"It's so good to see you again."
In this life, he took the wrong path and missed the most wonderful people and things in the world.
In his next life, even amidst the vast sea of people, he will surely find that unique beauty that belongs to him.
After a frank laugh, Lu Ming closed his eyes.
See you in the next life!
