Chapter 271 Not a Dream
The girl in the photo looks to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. She has delicate features, bright eyes, and a gentle smile on her lips.
That's the concise way.
Ye Qingning's heart skipped a few beats.
So her previous experience wasn't a dream; she had actually traveled into the world of the book.
Lin Feiyan, Jianyan, Chenci, Chen Chu, Shang Yi...
Everyone is real.
These were all things she had personally experienced.
A wave of bitterness washed over her, followed by a surge of heartache. Ye Qingning lost her grip on her wallet, which fell to the ground with a thud. She clutched her chest, her nose stinging, and her eyes burning.
Chu Ming picked up the wallet immediately, carefully wiped away the dust, and stared intently at Jian Yan's photo.
He muttered, "This wallet was a gift from her... I threw it in the trash right in front of her..."
Chu Ming smiled wryly: "But after she left in a huff, I couldn't help but pick her out of the trash can again."
Thinking of Jian Yan, a bittersweet feeling gradually spread through Chu Ming's heart, and his eyes began to sparkle.
He carefully put the wallet into his pocket, and when he looked up, he saw Ye Qingning clutching her chest and bursting into tears.
He quickly composed himself and asked, "Miss Ye, are you alright?"
Ye Qingning shook her head, but tears kept flowing. She wanted to say that she was fine, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
How could nothing be wrong?
She felt as if something had slashed her heart, leaving it bleeding profusely and beyond healing.
Lin Feiyan, Lin Feiyan, how can I find you again!
So when Xiao Miao pushed the stroller in, she saw the two of them standing there speechless, with Ye Qingning silently shedding tears. She was stunned for a moment, caught in a dilemma.
But the IV drips I could see were almost finished, and if they weren't changed soon, my blood might start to rebound.
Chu Ming regained his composure, lowered his eyes slightly, and suppressed the overwhelming longing in his heart: "Miss Ye, you still haven't told me how you know these things?"
Through her teary eyes, Chu Ming's face looked exactly like Chen Ci's, which made Ye Qingning momentarily think that she was still in Qing City.
But reason told her that this was Beijing.
She sniffed, grabbed a tissue from the table to wipe her tears, and after a moment of silence said, "Jianyan told me."
Seeing the two start talking, Xiao Miao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pushed the cart over: "Excuse me, I'll be right back, I'll leave as soon as I change the IV fluid."
Neither Chu Ming nor Ye Qingning seemed to notice Xiao Miao. Chu Ming pondered for a moment, then asked, "So you knew Jian Yan before?"
Ye Qingning lowered her eyes. How could she explain this encounter that began and ended in a car accident?
She could only nod and say, "Yes."
Chu Ming slumped back in his chair, utterly dejected: "Even you know why she left..."
But I didn't know.
He was kept in the dark by Jia Yuanyuan like a fool.
He wasted three whole years to find his true feelings, only to lose her completely before he could even confess them.
The two people, each lost in their own emotions, were silent in the room except for the sound of Xiao Miao changing the IV fluids.
Xiao Miao glanced at the two of them, a hint of doubt and worry rising in her heart. So, after leaving the ward, she went straight to find Chu Heng.
Five minutes later, Chu Heng knocked on the door and came in. The state of the two people in the room made him suspicious.
"Chu Ming," he called out.
Chu Ming snapped out of his daze, turned around and glanced at him a beat late, before standing up: "Brother."
Chu Heng nodded and asked in a casual tone, "Finished talking?"
"Hmm." Chu Ming looked at Ye Qingning: "Miss Ye, Jian Yan's grave is in the western suburbs. You can go and visit her when you recover."
Ye Qingning composed herself: "I understand. Oh, and thank you all..."
She wanted to say thank you for your persistent treatment, but the words wouldn't come out.
She missed Lin Feiyan, but she could never go back.
This feeling is a mix of emotions, and there's nothing I can do about it.
"You're welcome," Chu Ming said to Chu Heng, then bid farewell to Ye Qingning before preparing to leave.
Ye Qingning suddenly called out to him, "Chu Ming!"
"Hmm?" Chu Ming turned to look at her. "Miss Ye, is there anything else?"
“Jian Yan has always liked you,” Ye Qingning said.
She didn't know why, but she felt she had to tell him this.
"I know." Chu Ming lowered his eyes. "It's a pity I found out too late."
"She said what she likes most about you is your positive and optimistic attitude towards life and your persistence in doing what you love."
Ye Qingning lied, knowing that Jian Yan also hoped Chu Ming could get out of this gloom: "So I hope you can live a good life. She would be very happy to know that."
Chu Ming's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Ye Qingning nodded.
Chu Ming smiled and said, "I know, I will."
After Chu Ming left the ward, the bitterness in Ye Qingning's heart grew even stronger. If everything was real, what state was Lin Feiyan in now? And Jian Yan?
Her departure will definitely cause some harm to Jianyan.
Seeing her downcast eyes and lost in thought, Chu Heng asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
Ye Qingning then realized that Chu Heng was still there, and she forced a smile: "It's nothing."
Chu Heng gazed at her with gentle eyes and said in a refined tone, "I just found out that you and Jian Yan knew each other before."
Ye Qingning glanced at him and said, "Mm."
"It's all in the past, don't think too much about it," Chu Heng advised. "Those who are alive carry hope and should be more positive and optimistic."
These words struck a nerve with Ye Qingning. She also wanted to live a positive life, but after experiencing such a tragedy, how could she forget Lin Feiyan and face the future?
She can treat it as a breakup.
But if you're heartbroken, at least you can see that person and know how they're doing.
But what about her?
Lin Feiyan is like a figure living in a dream; she can't see his current situation, and she doesn't know his current predicament...
That feeling of powerlessness made her completely lose her energy.
"Thank you, Dr. Chu, I understand."
Chu Heng didn't stay long; he had many things to do. He told Ye Qingning that she could contact him anytime if she needed anything, and then left.
An empty room, a tranquil atmosphere, sunny weather, a vibrant world.
Everything here suddenly became lifeless at this moment.
The feeling of heartache began to spread. Ye Qingning curled up in the quilt, biting her fingers, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
It was only at this moment that Ye Qingning truly realized that her feelings for Lin Feiyan were more than just liking.
She still vividly remembers the scene before they parted, when he asked her, "Do you love me?"
"like."
Ye Qingning said quietly.
She loves him.
Irresistible, irreplaceable.
But how can she return to the world where Lin Feiyan exists?
