Chapter 66 Her Heartbreak
"cheers~"
The crisp sound of clinking glasses and Lin Xi's gentle voice mixed together.
Candlelight dinner looks romantic, but it’s not delicious.
Lin Xi’s cooking skills are really not good.
Gu Qingheng was very considerate and ate the entire fried steak. Even though the crust was burnt and the steak was tough, the man said, "Well, not bad."
"Thank you for giving me face." Lin Xi ate the same thing, but felt it was not tasty.
But you can still eat it, just like beef jerky.
Gu Qingheng lowered her eyes and smiled, "Heh."
It seemed that Gu Qingheng was in such a good mood as if he had eaten the food cooked by his wife.
Seeing Gu Qingheng happy, Lin Xi felt happy too.
It's just that there is a hint of sadness in the happiness.
How wonderful it would be if Gu Qingheng was well. She doesn't want anything, she just wants Gu Qingheng to live a long life.
Gu Qingheng, who was standing opposite, noticed Lin Xi's emotions and said calmly, "Life and death are determined by fate. Life and death are inevitable. It's just the law of nature."
"But." Lin Xi's voice was low. He just kept cutting the steak, piece by piece, into diced beef.
And Gu Qingheng said nothing more.
After dinner, Lin Xi and Gu Qingheng sat in the living room on the first floor to watch a movie.
It is a love film from Country Y. In the end, the hero and heroine are together after going through untold hardships.
Lin Xi thought that perfection only existed in movies, those melodramatic and addictive movies.
I can't see her being too happy, because it will make her more miserable.
I turned off the movie and turned around, only to see Gu Qingheng closing his eyes.
Like sleeping.
Sleep peacefully.
Lin Xixin felt a "click".
I reached out my hand to touch it, tears welling up in my eyes.
"Hubby..." She whispered softly, with a hint of trembling in her tone.
The moment Lin Xi touched Gu Qingheng's arm, he had a thousand questions in his mind.
Why didn't Gu Qingheng move? Was he leaving now?
She shook him once or twice, but he didn't move. She became more and more uneasy.
"Gu Qingheng..."
"Hiss..." Gu Qingheng had finally managed to have such a relaxing sleep, but was woken up by Lin Xi.
As a result, Lin Xi burst into tears.
She threw herself into Gu Qingheng's arms and said, "I'm so scared. If I'm not careful, I'll lose you forever."
"I'm not afraid of death, so what are you afraid of?" Gu Qingheng was quite frank.
"With you gone, I'm a widow, wuwuwuwu..." Lin Xi cried in Gu Qingheng's arms, "Why is my life so miserable?"
"Our Xixi's life is not hard, it's fine." There will be someone who loves you and cares for you like I do.
"Um."
Lin Xi cried for a while, and after calming down, she also felt tired.
The two of them fell asleep on the sofa.
In the middle of the night, Lin Xi was awakened by the cold wind blowing in from the window.
When she found that Gu Qingheng was not around, she went to close the kitchen window first. She had opened it while cooking and forgot to close it after opening it.
He went to look for Gu Qingheng quietly again and found Gu Qingheng standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He seemed to be having an attack of illness, and his hands were shaking even when he was smoking.
The disease would be fatal whether or not it was treated. When Gu Qingheng first discovered it, it was already in the late stage.
So Gu Qingheng did not choose to be hospitalized, but instead did whatever he wanted to do.
His profile was stern, and he had lost a lot of weight now. He was over 1.8 meters tall and weighed only over 130 kilograms.
The whole person looks cold and bony.
Lin Xi watched from a distance and did not move forward.
I just want to watch it for one more second, one more minute, one more hour, one more day.
…
The next morning, Lin Xi went to the kitchen and made a fried egg and cooked tomato pasta.
While eating, Gu Qingheng started bleeding from the nose.
Lin Xi was so frightened that she quickly went to get medicine for Gu Qingheng.
The white paper was stained with blood, which was shocking.
So no one was in the mood to eat.
Lin Xi didn't want to cry all the time, especially in front of Gu Qingheng, she wanted to keep her emotions stable.
In the afternoon, it started to rain heavily outside.
They were planning to go out for hotpot together, but now they couldn't go out, so Lin Xi went to the refrigerator to find the ingredients and had clear soup hotpot at home.
While eating hot pot, the two of them drank a few more glasses of red wine and got a little drunk.
While dancing, Lin Xi stepped on Gu Qingheng's feet, just at the tip of Gu Qingheng's nose.
As long as he raised his head slightly, he could kiss Gu Qingheng.
So, Lin Xi kept her eyes down the whole time.
The ambiguity gradually heated up. Gu Qingheng sang very well and sang Y language songs in Lin Xi's ears.
The voice was steady and tender, and the lyrics were romantic, which made Lin Xi's heart beat fast.
When the atmosphere reached its peak, the two couldn't help but kiss each other.
After a few tentative pecks, they embraced each other. When it came time to take things a step further...
"I told you I won't dodge. I'm going to do this anyway. There's no other way. You decide whether you want to accompany me..."
Lin Xi's cell phone rang.
It suddenly woke up both Gu Qingheng and Lin Xi.
Lin Xi let go of Gu Qingheng and answered the phone: "Hello, Mom."
Xiuyun over there said, "Xixi, how was your fun? Did you have fun?"
Are you happy to be with Gu Qingheng 24 hours a day? No, I'm very sad. I'm afraid of losing Gu Qingheng.
Lin Xi lowered her eyes and asked dejectedly, "How is my son? Is he okay?"
"Xiao Zhaoyun is doing fine. Your mother-in-law came to visit her yesterday." And there was also Chen Yan. However, when Xiuyun thought that Gu Qingheng might be with Lin Xi now, she did not mention Chen Yan at all.
"Uh-huh."
"Is it night time where you are now?" Xiuyun asked.
"Yes, it's evening."
"Okay, then I won't disturb you and your husband's sleep." Xiuyun said and hung up.
sleep?
It was indeed almost...
On the third day of arriving in Country Y, Lin Xi and Gu Qingheng walked hand in hand on the streets of London.
It was around five or six o'clock, and people coming and going on the street were wearing long-sleeved shirts and long trousers.
Lin Xi was wearing a windbreaker, the same style as Gu Qingheng's.
The exhaled breath has a cold breath.
Passing by a wishing well, many men and women took coins and threw their wishes into it.
Lin Xi felt in his pocket and found two coins.
"Want one?" asked Gu Qingheng.
"Okay." He said softly.
So, the man nonchalantly and casually turned his back and threw the coin into the wishing well with a wave of his hand.
Lin Xi made a serious wish, hoping that Gu Qingheng would live year after year.
Gu Qingheng's wish is that Lin Xi gets what she wants.
…
Night falls, and I go to bed early tonight.
In the early morning, Lin Xi had already fallen asleep.
I opened my eyes and found that Gu Qingheng was not around again.
She went looking for him, but saw him standing by the window enjoying the breeze.
His forehead was covered in sweat, but his expression was calm.
He chewed dryly whatever was thrown into his mouth.
With the dim light, Lin Xi saw clearly that it was a pill.
He was chewing his medicine, taking it so perfunctorily and with such disdain.
Lin Xi felt her feet go weak and she had to hold onto the door frame, otherwise she would have fallen.
Gu Qingheng's face was pale, but his eyes were still clear and bright. The disease could only destroy his body, not his heart.
Lin Xi felt even more distressed for such a strong man.
Let him live. He has such a good family background, looks so good, and is so young. He should be a child of destiny. Why are you asking?
Unfair...
Lin Xi could no longer control her tears.
With a blink, tears as big as beans fell.
Watching the countdown of her lover's life was torture and cruel to Lin Xi.
****
In the blink of an eye, winter has arrived.
Today was the first snowfall in Country Y, and Lin Xi wanted to go skiing. She asked Gu Qingheng to accompany her.
Seeing that three months were almost up, Lin Xi felt that Gu Qingheng seemed okay.
I gradually began to believe that a miracle would happen.
In the ski resort, snowflakes were falling as Lin Xi and Gu Qingheng skied side by side.
Gu Qingheng slid very well, but Lin Xi accidentally fell while going downhill.
Gu Qingheng even blamed her: "Why are you so clumsy?"
"I'm not stupid, you're just too smart."
"You're the only one who can talk."
Gu Qingheng smiled.
Fortunately, I was wearing thick clothes and didn’t get any abrasions, just a red patch on my skin.
Lin Xi looked at Gu Qingheng and smiled sweetly. Large snowflakes fell on the man's neat short hair. Lin Xi took off her gloves and stroked them away for Gu Qingheng with her own hands.
If we were to get caught in the snow together in the morning, we would grow old together in this life.
It snowed all day and all night, and Lin Xi and Gu Qingheng's hair turned white.
There was heavy snow and a cold wind.
The couple snuggled in the villa, holding coffee in their hands and watching the snow scene outside the window.
Later, they went to see the aurora.
We spent Christmas Eve together again, brewing red wine, eating apples and oden.
Watch a movie together.
The days are plain and warm.
Lin Xi also decided not to peek at Gu Qingheng when she couldn't sleep at night and was sick and in pain.
She thought that Gu Qingheng didn't want her to see it either. She wanted to leave her happy and smiling side to Gu Qingheng.
Then, it’s Chinese New Year again.
Lin Xi prepared a table full of New Year’s Eve dinner. This was the first time she cooked ten dishes by herself.
This year is also the first year that Gu Qingheng and I have spent together. Three months have passed, and Gu Qingheng is doing well.
After eating Lin Xi's meal, Gu Qingheng praised her frequently.
She was very pleased with the compliment.
So, he wished Gu Qingheng a happy new year again.
Gu Qingheng said, "Let me hold you for a while."
Lin Xi smiled, "Okay."
The two people were wearing couple outfits and the same red coat.
They hugged for a long time, and Gu Qingheng whispered a lot of sweet words in Lin Xi's ear. The last sentence was, "In the next life, let's meet each other first, okay?"
"Okay. In the next life, we'll meet first."
It turns out that the order of appearance in love is so important.
As she held him for a while, Lin Xi realized something was wrong.
Then he called softly, "Gu Qingheng...?"
She called out again, "Husband...?" But there was no sound.
Lin Xi closed her eyes, feeling Gu Qingheng's final warmth.
His body softened and he leaned completely on Lin Xi.
Lin Xi burst into tears and hugged Gu Qingheng tightly, but she still couldn't keep him and lost him.
He was only 36 years old that year.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was too careless at the time and didn't realize you were sick..." Lin Xi regretted it and felt deeply guilty for her dereliction of duty as a wife.
New Year should be a day of celebration for everyone.
And Lin Xi lost a loved one again.
When I returned to China, it was snowing heavily in Beijing.
Mrs. Gu, who was old and had to send off her beloved, fainted the moment she saw Gu Qingheng's body. Even though everyone was prepared to lose Gu Qingheng, this moment was still unacceptable to her closest relatives.
Lin Xi's eyes were dry, sore and red, and she couldn't shed a single tear.
The funeral was organized by the Gu family. Lin Xi wore black and a black flower on her head.
At the age of 26, she married for the second time and lost her husband. It seemed that fate had never been kind to this beautiful young woman.
Chen Yan also came.
Lin Xi glanced at it indifferently.
It's raining and snowing today, and it's especially cold.
Chen Yan stood beside Lin Xi.
Lin Xi had a blank expression on her face. Everything was quiet, so quiet it was scary.
Drizzle and fine snow.
The moment Lin Xi raised her eyes, the world spun around her.
He was supported by Chen Yan who was behind him.
Just a moment later, Shen Yan withdrew his hand.
After all, there are so many guests here now, and we don’t want to think of any rumors.
He has also become more restrained in front of outsiders.
*
Lin Xi is too tired.
On the day of Gu Qingheng's burial, she fainted from excessive grief.
On the way to the hospital, I could vaguely hear my mother Xiuyun crying.
At this moment, Lin Xi understood her mother. The pain of losing her husband was truly the greatest regret of her life.
*
The days are dull and sad.
Even if no one is left in the world, we still have to live.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
During this period, Gu Zhaoyun learned to speak and called "Mom" for the first time, and the Gu Group also had a new president.
Lin Xi asked Shen Youzhen to give birth to Gu Qingheng's child because this was Gu Qingheng's only flesh and blood.
I also discussed it with Mrs. Gu, and they both decided unanimously to kill the mother and keep the son.
It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival.
Lin Xi drove to the cemetery.
Place a bouquet of chrysanthemums in front of Gu Qingheng's tomb.
Lin Xi bent down and touched Gu Qingheng's portrait.
He was dressed in a suit and looked handsome and cool.
"You're so pretty, why did you leave so early?"
"You never come into my dreams. Are you blaming me for not being a good wife?"
"Qingheng, do you know how sorry I am?"
I'm afraid Lin Xi will never be able to let it go in her life.
She was talking to herself, and tears started to fall again as she spoke.
I have never seen my lover grow old, nor have I seen his face full of wrinkles and gray hair.
Life was forever frozen at the age of thirty-six, and Lin Xi wanted to grow old with Gu Qingheng.
Lin Xi knelt in front of Gu Qingheng's tomb and opened a bottle of white wine.
Fill Gu Qingheng’s glass.
But I don’t know when a black butterfly flew over.
It circled around Lin Xi and finally touched Lin Xi's lips.
My heart skipped a beat and I tried to catch the black butterfly, but it flew away without a care in the world.
Lin Xi breathed rapidly, covered her mouth and burst into tears.
*
When walking down from the cemetery park, Lin Xi was in a state of disarray.
Back in the car, Lin Xi took the ring out of her bag, put it into a platinum necklace, and then put it around her neck.
Even when she was in her seventies, she would often touch the necklace with her hands while lying in a rocking chair under a locust tree.
In old age, locust flower honey is sweet, and the last lingering memories are all the old friends.
In this life, there are love and hate, separation and death, regrets and no regrets, mixed feelings, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty.
Later, she had many children and grandchildren, but her grandson said...
