However, Yao Yao still sticks to her original intention and doesn't want to date or get married. Dating and such is a waste of time, okay?
Even after they graduated and went home to inherit their families' wealth and build their own business empires, Yao Yao still did not accept Yu Cen's advances.
Many years later, Yao Yao's body could no longer hold on. On her deathbed, Yu Cen, who was once extremely wealthy, disregarded the many matters he was preparing to handle and came to see Yao Yao one last time.
Looking at Yao Yao lying weakly on the hospital bed, Yu Cen felt a mix of emotions, but he didn't show it on his face. He then asked the question that had troubled him for countless years.
"Why won't you accept me? You don't have anyone you like, and I'm just as outstanding. I'd accept it even if we only dated and never got married, but... why won't you agree..."
Yao Yao was already at her breaking point, and she was somewhat fed up with the world; her gaze was unfocused.
"Because it has no heart..."
The saying "plants and trees have no heart" wasn't just a figure of speech; her refusal to agree was also to avoid holding others back, but clearly, she still held him back.
Even so, she couldn't give a response. If they were to get together, he would be the one who gets hurt in the end, which would be unfair to both of them.
Then he closed his eyes and stopped breathing.
Yu Cen, sitting by the hospital bed, calmed down as she watched the electrocardiogram machine beside her, then watched a large group of people file in, and then burst into tears, but her expression never changed.
It was as if he wasn't the one who had pursued Xu Qing for decades and remained chaste throughout.
Yu Cen finally returned home, and the news on TV was also related to Xu Qing. After all, since becoming the head of the Xu family, Xu Qing had always been devoted to charity, and the amount of money she had donated reached a staggering figure.
She also made a will stipulating that a separate account would be established after her death, and that her share of the profits would be transferred there every year to continue to benefit the scientific researchers who serve the country.
Regardless of her life before her death, Yao Yao has now caused a sensation worldwide. Under her leadership, the Xu family has established a foothold all over the world, let alone a young woman like her. Her share of the profits, even just one month's worth, could support countless people.
The whole world was mourning when Yu Cen abruptly turned off the TV.
The surroundings fell silent instantly; you could hear a pin drop.
Yu Cen didn't know why, even though she felt very sad, she didn't feel extremely sad, as if they would meet again. It was like the old people's belief in reincarnation, that there could be a next life.
Yu Cen stared blankly at her hands.
"Next life... will there be a next life?... Ha, who knows..."
Many years later, Yu Cen, now with white hair, lay on a recliner and seemed to see the young Xu Qing in a daze.
Xu Qing walked over with a smile and said, "Silly boy, it seems like all you do when you're resting is sunbathe."
Yu Cen stretched out her wrinkled hand. "It's so nice to see you again. I had a dream about you."
Xu Qing, who had already turned around, turned back. "Hmm? What dream?"
Yu Cen's eyes were filled with confusion. "I've had that dream for so many years, and the person in my dream is you..."
After saying that, he peacefully closed his eyes.
The next day, Yu Cen's friend came over to celebrate Yu Cen's birthday, only to discover that this person who had dedicated his life to charity and contributing to the country had passed away quietly at home.
Yu Cen started having intermittent dreams when she was very, very young.
They appear chaotic, but they are actually a dream.
Xiao Cen didn't understand what it meant. He would talk about it with his parents and friends, but no one believed him. In fact, he was disliked by his friends because he always talked about his dreams. From then on, he never shared them with anyone again.
Until he met Xu Qing.
In my past dreams, there was always a girl as the protagonist, but that girl was always shrouded in a veil, and I couldn't see her true face.
It wasn't until he met Xu Qing that he saw the girl's features; they were a beauty that words could not describe.
For some reason, Yu Cen felt that the girl was Xu Qing, even though Xu Qing didn't resemble her at all. It was just her intuition that made him follow behind her.
