Final Chapter (Part 2):
Wang Fang didn't expect him to ask her this out of the blue. She smiled and said, "I just hope you can be with someone you like and who can take care of you."
She looked at Ji Qingzhou with her eyes full of maternal love. She knew her body better than anyone else, and she would definitely be ahead of Ji Qingzhou, so she hoped that Ji Qingzhou could meet a gentle and sensible girl who would accompany him and take care of him, so that he could feel at ease even if he left.
"Is that all?" Ji Qingzhou asked her.
"It's good enough that you can find something like this." Wang Fang said with satisfaction.
Ji Qingzhou looked up at Chu Cheng. Chu Cheng saw his gesture, stood up and said, "Qin and I will go out to buy some fruit," and took Qin out.
"What kind of fruit do you want to buy, Mr. Chu?" Qin asked him.
"Auntie, buy whatever she likes to eat." Chu Cheng said, "Go out and shop for a while. I'll call you and you can come back."
"Ah?" Qin was puzzled.
"Go ahead." Chu Cheng waved his hand.
Qin had no choice but to walk towards the elevator alone.
Chu Cheng stood outside the door, put his ear close to it, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation between Ji Qingzhou and Wang Fang.
Ji Qingzhou looked at Wang Fang, hesitated for a moment, and said tactfully, "Mom, actually, there is someone I like very much."
Wang Fang instantly became interested, her eyes lit up, "Really?"
Ji Qingzhou nodded. "He's a very nice person, and he takes good care of me. He supports me in everything I do. When I'm happy, he celebrates with me, and when I'm unhappy, he cheers me up. I like him very much."
"Then why didn't you bring her here for me to see?" Wang Fang scolded, "Such a good girl, if you bring her here, mom will be happy to see her."
"I...you..." Ji Qingzhou was a little unsure whether he should say, "You've actually seen it many times."
"I've seen them many times?" Wang Fang thought for a moment, "I'm in the hospital all day and night, and I've seen those few people..." Wang Fang suddenly seemed to realize something, and looked at Ji Qingzhou in disbelief, "Zhou, you wouldn't..."
Ji Qingzhou nodded embarrassedly.
Wang Fang really didn't expect this. She thought about it again and again, "How did you and Qin get together? She was always by my side, and you still had to film. How did you two become a couple? An online romance?"
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Chu Cheng: ...
Wang Fang: ???
Ji Qingzhou covered his eyes and said bluntly, "It's not Qin, it's Chu Cheng. I like Chu Cheng."
Wang Fang: …
Ji Qingzhou silently placed the phone in front of Wang Fang, and on it was a news page: A same-sex couple committed suicide by jumping off a building because their parents did not agree.
Wang Fang watched his movements, then looked at his phone page, "..."
Ji Qingzhou took the opportunity to speak well of Chu Cheng, "We are sincere to each other. He is really good to me. He would come to visit me when I was filming and pick me up when I got off the plane. When I encountered setbacks, he was with me through it. When I encountered good opportunities, he encouraged me to try. He was also afraid that I would be worried about you when I was alone, so he came to see you regularly and help me take care of you. It is so that I can develop my career with peace of mind. Mom, I really like him and want to be with him, is that okay?"
Hearing this, Wang Fang looked up at him. Ji Qingzhou's eyes were clear and full of pleading. Wang Fang looked at him and was unable to refuse him.
"We will live a good life." Ji Qingzhou said softly, "Mom, you also know Ah Cheng. He is not the kind of frivolous person. He will treat me well."
Wang Fang's eyes suddenly became sore when she heard this. She looked at Ji Qingzhou. In her memory, Ji Qingzhou was still the age when he had just graduated from college, but in the blink of an eye, he had reached the age when he was talking about marriage after being with her. She reached out and touched Ji Qingzhou's face. There was guilt, emotion, and discomfort in her eyes, but it eventually turned into a smile.
She nodded and said softly, "Okay."
She had no way to reject Ji Qingzhou, who looked at her expectantly and hoped that she would agree. She had been a burden to Ji Qingzhou for a long time. She had been in the hospital since he graduated from college. When other children were still spending as much as they earned, Ji Qingzhou had already shouldered the burden of life and only thought about making money, not spending money.
Wang Fang remembered that his previous ideal was not to become a star, but suddenly one day, he told himself that he might become a star. By then, they would have money, and she could live in a good hospital and receive good treatment.
There was a smile in his eyes when he said this, but Wang Fang felt very sad.
She did stay in a good hospital and received good treatment, but she could only see her son a few times a year. Wang Fang knew that there were gains and losses, so she just cherished the time they spent together when Ji Qingzhou came to see her, and missed him silently after Ji Qingzhou left.
She couldn't give Ji Qingzhou anything anymore. Even as a mother, she still needed her son's care. She couldn't cook a delicious meal for her son or knit a warm sweater. So, she didn't want to make things difficult for Ji Qingzhou. If this was the love that Ji Qingzhou wanted, she was willing to let him love whoever he wanted to love.
This may be the only care she can give to Ji Qingzhou now.
When Ji Qingzhou saw that she agreed, he smiled instantly and said, "Thank you, Mom."
When Chu Cheng heard Ji Qingzhou's words, he knew that Wang Fang must have agreed. He was so excited that he almost pushed the door open and stretched out his hand before he calmed down and silently withdrew his hand from the door handle.
Wang Fang looked at Ji Qingzhou's happy expression and couldn't help laughing, "No wonder you always show me news about same-sex couples these days, so that's how it is."
"I'm not afraid that I'll be direct. Can't you accept it?"
Wang Fang smiled and didn't tell him that parents always look at other people's children differently from their own children. If she couldn't accept it, no matter how much Ji Qingzhou prepared, she wouldn't accept it. In the final analysis, it still depends on the parents' own acceptance.
"Where's Cheng?" He looked at Ji Qingzhou, "Did he really go to buy fruit?"
Ji Qingzhou smiled awkwardly, walked to the door, opened it, and pulled Chu Cheng in.
Chu Cheng was rarely embarrassed and whispered, "Auntie."
Wang Fang looked at him, thinking back to how he usually took care of her, and felt that she was also slow to realize it. Chu Cheng came to see her once a week, which was even more punctual than punching in for work. This was not something a friend could do. It was obvious that he had a special relationship with Ji Qingzhou, but she had never thought about it that way. But she couldn't blame her. After all, she had always thought that Ji Qingzhou liked girls, but she never thought it was actually boys!
"When did you two get together?" Wang Fang asked curiously, "When Zhou went to film his first movie?"
It was from that time that Chu Cheng came to visit her regularly every week. Before that, Chu Cheng had never appeared.
Although Ji Qingzhou didn't know why Wang Fang thought this way, it made her feel that she and Chu Cheng had been together for three years, which was obviously better than two years, so he nodded hurriedly, "Yes."
"Cheng's family is pretty well off, right?" Wang Fang guessed.
It’s more than just very good, it’s extremely good, Ji Qingzhou complained silently.
"It's OK." Chu Cheng said modestly, "But I started my own business since my freshman year, so I don't rely on my family anymore. I have my own company."
"Who of you liked who first?"
"I liked him first." Ji Qingzhou and Chu Cheng said in unison.
Ji Qingzhou looked at Chu Cheng in confusion, and Chu Cheng said calmly, "We both had a mutual crush on each other, and then I confessed my feelings, and then I found out that Zhou Zhou also liked me, so it was natural for us to be together."
Ji Qingzhou: "...Yes."
Upon hearing this, Wang Fang nodded.
She looked at Chu Cheng and Ji Qingzhou standing side by side in front of her. Regardless of gender, they were indeed a very well-matched and pleasing couple. Wang Fang sighed silently in her heart. If Ji Qingzhou liked someone else, she might still be worried and try to persuade him again, but it was Chu Cheng. She was too familiar with Chu Cheng, and she liked and trusted him from the bottom of her heart. Wang Fang even thought that if she was gone one day, before she died, she must see Chu Cheng and let Chu Cheng help her take care of Ji Qingzhou.
She had no complaints about Chu Cheng, and because she was too familiar with him, she couldn't even think that it would be better if the other party was a girl. Ji Qingzhou liked boys, and this boy was Chu Cheng, which was a blessing in disguise for her. So she said nothing, just smiled and said gently, "Since you want to be together, live a good life."
Ji Qingzhou and Chu Cheng looked at each other excitedly, and Ji Qingzhou said softly, "Thank you, Mom."
"Thank you, Auntie."
"Okay, stop standing and sit down." Wang Fang glanced at the chair beside the bed.
Ji Qingzhou and Chu Cheng walked over and sat down. Chu Cheng took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Qin, telling her that she could come back.
Ji Qingzhou and Chu Cheng accompanied Wang Fang for the whole day. Sometimes Wang Fang would suddenly remember something and ask them some questions about their love life. Ji Qingzhou and Chu Cheng had to tell them the truth. Wang Fang listened to their words and found them quite interesting. She laughed softly and the ward was filled with joy.
