Ji Changning v Si Chen (21)
The sunlight shone into the hospital bed, filling the room with a warm yellow color. The person on the bed hugged his knees, the light in his eyes dimmed a little, and there was no trace of redness on his pale little face, which was as delicate as a broken doll without any life.
Si Chen walked to the bedside and sat down. He pinched the hair on her cheek and hooked it behind her ear. His voice was soft as if he was afraid of scaring her. "The doctor said that you can be discharged from the hospital. Do you want to go home?"
Ji Changning then raised his head and focused his eyes on his face, "I want to."
"Si Chen." She called him suddenly.
"Um?"
"How will Qin Yuan judge?"
At this point, a flash of coldness flashed across Si Chen's face, "I will make him get the punishment he deserves."
Ji Changning looked at him and said, "I don't want to pursue this matter anymore."
Si Chen frowned, "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of these things."
Ji Changning shook his head. "I approached you in the beginning to get away from the Qin family and my mother. Then, by some strange coincidence, I got pregnant. I didn't intend to let you be responsible. I wanted to go to the hospital and secretly abort the baby, but my grandmother came."
She laughed softly. "After spending some time with me, you broke my stereotype of men. It was expected that I would fall in love with you. The Qin family and my mother are suffocating me. I don't know what to do. They are like blood-sucking worms. I have thought about it countless times. I will just be an obedient puppet. I will be whatever daughter-in-law the Si family needs, and whatever wife you need. This should reduce my guilt, but..."
Si Chen listened to her quietly. Ji Changning raised his misty eyes, "But this is unfair to you, Si Chen. You are very good, but I am not bad either. I really want to have an evenly matched relationship with you. I don't want to hide under the name of the Si family, nor do I want to hide under your wings and never get wet in the rain. I want to live for myself."
"What do you want?" Si Chen asked gently.
“I got an offer from the Royal College of Art.”
Si Chen was silent for a moment, then reached out to wipe the tears from her face, "Ji Changning, I wish you the best more than anyone else, just do whatever you want to do."
Ji Changning's tears burst out like a dam, and she choked up, "Can you hug me?"
Si Chen moved closer to her and gently held her in his arms. Ji Changning hugged his neck and said, "Child, I don't want to abort the child. If you like someone else after I come back, don't snatch him from me, okay?"
Si Chen stroked her long hair and said, "I won't like anyone else, Ji Changning. I will wait for you here."
"Don't come looking for me. Five years, five years at the latest. I will come back no matter what. This time I will still pursue you, okay?"
"Um."
…
In the end, the Si family and the Qin family reconciled, and the Si family sent 188,000 yuan in cash. In the following days, no one from the Qin family showed up again.
One week later
The weather is clear and the breeze is gentle. It has rained for several days in a row, so it is a rare good day.
At the airport
Si Chen helped with the checked baggage, and Ji Changning only had a small bag in his hand.
At the security check, Si Chen said worriedly, "Remember to send me a message after you get off the plane. Your passport and ID card are in this bag. Everything has been arranged there. The house is very close to the school, and the cards I gave you can all be used."
Ji Changning held his hand, the corners of his mouth raised, "I know, you have said it many times."
Si Chen's brows were still furrowed, "You are still pregnant."
"Don't you have this?" She raised the jar in her hand. It was the sour dried papaya that Si Chen had just made. "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself, and..."
As she spoke, she took the man's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, "And him."
Si Chen's hand moved, "Yeah."
Ji Changning raised his eyes to look at him. She was only at his chest. "Lower yourself."
Si Chen bent down slightly, and Ji Changning tiptoed and kissed him on the face, "Si Chen, don't like anyone else. Wait for me to come back."
The man's heart was moved slightly, and he didn't come back to his senses until the fragrance disappeared.
At that time, there was a slender figure at the door, staring at the place where Ji Changning disappeared for a long time without leaving.
