"You’re crazy!"
A man’s voice suddenly ca through the receiver, followed by the chaotic sounds of a struggle for the phone. Gu Yuan furrowed her brows, listening carefully to what was happening on the other side. But the noise grew louder, and then Gu Yuan heard Chi Yu’s angry roar, "Let go!"
It seed the person let go.
The phone returned to Chi Yu’s hand. He nervously put the phone back to his ear and said, "Hello, Yuanyuan, are you still there?"
Gu Yuan’s brows remained deeply furrowed as she asked him, "What happened?"
He replied, "Nothing, just so unruly kid trying to grab my phone, but I got it back."
"Your lies are as childish as ever," Gu Yuan said.
He was silent.
"Is it inconvenient for you to co back now? If so... you can talk to about anything. At least my connections could provide you with more options. I can help you," she said seriously.
Gu Yuan was sure she didn’t mishear earlier. Soone on the other end had called Chi Yu a lunatic right when he promised her he’d return the next day.
She wondered if she was imagining things.
Is Chi Yu’s illness already severe?
"I’m not inconvenienced, and there’s nothing wrong. Yuanyuan, don’t worry," he said, his voice carrying a hint of joy, as if in good spirits. "I said I’d co back tomorrow, and I really will. I’m not lying to you."
Gu Yuan responded, "Alright, I’m hanging up."
Before the call ended, he called her, "Yuanyuan."
Gu Yuan still had the phone by her ear, "What is it?"
He said, "I really miss you."
If it had been a while ago, Gu Yuan would definitely have said: Thanks for thinking of , but I don’t miss you.
This ti, Gu Yuan didn’t say those things.
She only said to Chi Yu on the phone, "I know."
After hanging up, Gu Yuan’s thoughts started to beco disordered, as if they couldn’t be gathered together. Thinking about the things Yi Shu said and the strange noise she just heard on the phone, Gu Yuan felt as if her heart was filled with many complicated matters that couldn’t be untangled.
She opened up the text ssage Yi Shu sent, which had an untouched video.
She wanted to open it but was still hesitating...
Because once she watched it, so decisions might change.
...
And at this mont in the courtyard.
Outside, the sky was clear, but the atmosphere under the patio was as if a storm was about to co.
Tu Kuan’s patience was at its limit, yet he couldn’t get angry at the person in front of him. For Tu Kuan, Quan Jin was both the young master of the Quan Family and a small owner of this dical institution, as well as his friend.
He cared about Quan Jin’s life a lot and was determined to cure him.
But this person was being reckless.
"Quan Jin, do you know that being this way, you’re wasting your own life?"
"If you go to any hospital now, they won’t be able to diagnose your condition. No one can save you; you can only save yourself, and you don’t have much ti left. Every day you’re alive now is a gift from heaven."
"If one day heaven is not in a good mood and stops gifting you, you’ll be out of luck."
"Quan Jin, do you think you’ve lived too long in this world and want to die early? You’re only twenty-four, and this year is your zodiac year. If you stubbornly refuse to listen, you might not even survive this year."
Faced with Tu Kuan’s series of questions, Quan Jin remained calm throughout. Since the phone call with Gu Yuan ended, everything returned to peacefulness.
Yes——
Quan Jin was Chi Yu.
Chi Yu was Quan Jin.
Two seemingly unrelated people had always been the sa person.
The na Chi Yu was one he gave himself.
Because in Chi Yu’s world, there was only Gu Yuan. For her, he would live, and for her, he would die, for her whole life, he was willing to live toward death for her.
"Quan Jin, I hope you’ll reconsider. Don’t act on impulse or you’ll end up with nothing." This was Tu Kuan’s advice to Chi Yu.
But Chi Yu seed unheard.
He said, "I want to go back to Sui City."
"You..."
"Don’t say anymore, I won’t change this decision." With these words, Chi Yu turned into the house with his phone to pack his things.
Originally, he planned to return to Yanjing to accept treatnt, set everything else aside, and he had promised this himself. But now, after one phone call from Gu Yuan, Chi Yu was determined to go back regardless.
It seed like no one could thwart Chi Yu’s determination to return to Sui City.
Tu Kuan was not just troubled; he was driven mad, knowing he couldn’t persuade Chi Yu, so he called the old madam.
The old madam, upon learning of the situation, lost her appetite and rushed over imdiately.
Yu Rujin ca in.
A group of people followed her, indicating they were prepared.
Chi Yu ca out and unsurprisingly encountered Yu Rujin and her group. He calmly approached and called, "Grandmother."
"If you still consider your grandmother, stay here and receive treatnt, don’t go anywhere, alright?" Yu Rujin’s eyes held both reluctance and heartache, but her main intent was to stop Chi Yu from leaving.
His health couldn’t be delayed any longer.
Further compromise ant risking his life.
"Let go to Sui City again, just this once, and I’ll co back quickly." Chi Yu’s words carried negotiation, but his tone was one of firm necessity.
This call from Gu Yuan made him willing to disregard everything, even if it ant going to et death, without hesitation.
After eting Gu Yuan, he was never rational.
Whether in the past or now.
Yu Rujin deeply closed her eyes, and when she reopened them, her laughter carried a sigh, "Grandmother isn’t unreasonable, you always knew that, but this ti grandmother wants to be a little selfish, you’re my grandson. You’ve given everything to her recklessly, and what about our Quan Family? What about grandmother? You might not co back once you leave."
The last sentence was full of Yu Rujin’s helplessness.
Chi Yu’s organs were gradually failing, and without treatnt, they could only deteriorate day by day, not improve. It was clear to Yu Rujin that Chi Yu’s trip to Sui City wouldn’t see him return easily.
Yu Rujin thought she might not wait for her grandson to return, only going to Sui City to collect his body.
"Grandmother..." Chi Yu called her.
Yu Rujin averted her face and coldly ordered, "Guard this place well, don’t let him leave. If he goes, you’ll all be held accountable, none of you can escape."
Everyone responded in unison, "Yes, old madam."
After giving the orders, Yu Rujin turned and left.
If she stayed any longer, she might soften.
However, what Yu Rujin never expected was that Chi Yu, to be able to leave, to go to Sui City, would actually kneel down.
A loud ’thump.’
All present were startled.
"Young master!!"
