Butterfly and Whale - Chapter 9

After hundreds of years, Tanhai Temple has flourished with incense, and there is an endless stream of pilgrims coming and going, but the way up the mountain to offer incense is not as easy as imagined.

Tan Island was originally an island evolved from a mountain. The temple was built at the highest point on the island. To get to the temple, you have to walk 9,981 steps and pass through eight bends, implying the eight sufferings of life: life is suffering, old age is suffering Suffering, sickness, death, love and parting, resentment and hatred, and not getting what one wants will eventually be melted into these more than nine thousand steps.

The suffering of life is ranked last according to the calculation from the foot of the mountain, so that no matter what people seek, only survival is the most difficult, but when they come out of the temple, it ranks first, that is, people are born to endure hardships, and there is nothing to live without. There is no death, and there is no existence of the other six sufferings.

The road up the mountain is winding and winding, and there is no direct bus or cable car. If you want to climb to the top, you can only go up by your feet.

Except for Hu Die and Mo Hai, the group of people were all athletes. They walked up the steps like walking on the ground. In order to take care of her and Mo Hai, everyone’s speed was not very fast.

After the three hardships, Hu Die was exhausted and her pace became slower. Jing Yu dug out her water from the bag and handed it over: “Drink a little.”

Hu Die stopped to take a few sips, then said slowly: “I won’t go up, I didn’t intend to go in to offer incense, I’ll wait for you here in the gazebo.”

“Okay.” Jing Yu handed her the lid of the pure water bottle: “You and Mo Hai go in and sit down first, I’ll give them a call.”

Hu Die waited until she sat in the gazebo to realize what Jing Yue said meant that he was not planning to go up either, and when he came back after calling, she asked, “Aren’t you going to offer incense?”

Jing Yue sat down in the empty seat beside her: “I don’t believe this.”

Without suffering, do not believe in gods and Buddhas.

But suffering to the depths, naturally he does not believe in gods and Buddhas.

Jing Yue is a person who has come through suffering. He knew from a long time ago that asking the Buddha for rebirth was just asking the Buddha for comfort.

After hearing this, Hu Die immediately poohed three times, and said in a serious manner: “It’s still in its territory, don’t talk nonsense.”

After poohing, she patted the wooden pillar next to her three times, muttering: “Tongyan Wuji Tongyan Wuji.”

Jing Yue folded his arms and leaned back against the fence, his long legs slightly bent, and he closed his eyes and muttered, “You’re a big kid.”

Tan Island is surrounded by the sea, the mountains are lush green, and the temperature is several degrees lower than that on the shore. After sitting for a while, Hu Die couldn’t help but sneezed.

Jing Yue looked sideways, “Is it cold?”

“The wind blows.” Hu Die rubbed her nose, took out her coat from her bag and put it on, “It’s so cool in the mountains.”

Jing Yu said “hmm” and said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

“Okay.” Hu Die watched him walk towards Mo Hai who was squatting not far away, probably asking him if he wanted to go with him, but Mo Hai shook his head and squatted on the ground without moving.

The bathroom was at the second bend, and Jing Yue’s figure disappeared after a few steps. Hu Die looked away and called out, “Mo Hai.”

He looked up.

Hu Die asked, “Do you want some water?”

“No.” He continued to draw shallow trenches on the ground with dead branches, and watched the ants crawl up and down in them.

There were a lot of people going up the mountain, some young people walking and talking and laughing, and some middle-aged people dressed in rags piously, walking towards the top of the mountain step by step.

Hu Die looked at it for a while, then silently looked away.

The wind blew quietly for a while, and suddenly bursts of voices came from the mountain. Hu Die glanced sideways. It was a group of elderly people wearing “xx tour group” hats. They probably came to the mountain with the group early in the morning to offer incense.

Their pace was not fast, but there were too many people, and they huffed for a while, and it took several minutes for the sound of people to go away.

Hu Die took out her mobile phone to send a message to Jiang Man. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed something, but she didn’t react for a while, and raised her head suddenly after typing a few words.

The place where Mo Hai squatted before was now empty, only the branch he just held was lying on the ground.

She panicked, she didn’t care about what to say to Jiang Man, she got up and walked out from the gazebo, watching the people coming and going around, she shouted: “Mo Hai!”

No response.

Hu Die walked down a few steps, and there were strange faces in front of and behind the mountain.

“Mo Hai!”

She was in a hurry and didn’t pay attention to her feet. She stepped on the air and fell down the steps. Fortunately, there was a platform underneath, so she didn’t roll down.

The passer-by aunt rushed over quickly, helped her stand up, and taught her: “Little girl, walk carefully, these are all steps, if you fall down, it will be terrible.”

Hu Die thanked her, and took out her mobile phone to call Jing Yu amidst her aunt’s instructions.

Jing Yue answered quickly, but the signal was not very good, and he spoke intermittently. It took Hu Die a while to hear his voice clearly: “The signal was not very good just now, what’s wrong?”

Hu Die was startled and frightened, her voice trembling slightly: “Jing Yue, Mo Hai is gone, I’m sorry, I just lowered my message, and he disappeared…”

“Missing? Don’t worry, I’m back now, you wait in the gazebo and don’t run around. I’ll call Shao Yun and ask him to look down the mountain.” Jing Yu comforted: “The only way to go up and down the mountain is this one.” One way, he won’t disappear, don’t worry.”

“it is good…”

After hanging up the phone, Hu Die stood at the same spot and looked up and down the mountain, but the steps were winding and winding, and the range of vision was limited.

She dusted off her hat, straightened her hair, put it back on, and walked slowly back to the gazebo.

After waiting for a few minutes, Hu Die saw Jing Yue running up from the mountain. As soon as she stood up, she saw Mo Hai following him with his head down. Followed by a sore, afraid of tears falling out, she raised her hand and rubbed it vigorously twice.

Jing Yue walked over quickly in three steps and two steps. Seeing her red eyes, he slowed down his voice: “He just saw someone’s hat fell off, and he just went to return the hat and forgot to tell you. Sorry, I made you worry.” .”

Hu Die sniffed: “It’s fine.”

Mo Hai, who was standing by the side, walked over silently, probably because he was educated by Jing Yue on the way back, his voice was crying: “Sister, I’m sorry, I won’t run around without telling you in the future.”

Seeing him like this, Hu Die felt strange and distressed, raised her hand and rubbed his head, and comforted him: “Okay, it’s okay, my sister didn’t blame you, but I was just worried about your accident.”

Mo Hai nodded, “Got it.”

“Okay.” Jing Yu patted him on the shoulder: “Let’s go play.”

“Oh.” Mo Hai’s emotions came and went quickly, seeing Jing Yu let go, he ran over excitedly to watch the ants walk.

Jing Yue looked at him for a while, then turned to Hu Die and said, “Actually, he used to be very smart, but he became like this after an accident.”

“That’s a pity.” Hu Die sighed softly.

“But for him, maybe this is the happiest thing right now.” Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Jing Yue raised his hand and rubbed her head through the hat.

Hu Die said “Hey”, and stretched out her hand to protect her head: “Don’t mess with my hair.”

With sharp eyes, Jing Yue caught a glimpse of the scratches on the palm of her hand, and suddenly asked, “What’s wrong with your hand?”

Hu Die paused, silently clenched her hands: “It’s nothing.”

Jing Yue was too lazy to talk nonsense, reached out and grabbed her wrist, saw several scratches of different degrees on her palm, and frowned: “How did you do it?”

“I accidentally dropped it…” Hu Die took her hand back: “I washed it with water, it’s fine.”

“How did you fall?”

“I just walked carelessly, and then I fell.”

Jing Yue looked at her, examining her eyes: “Only hurt your hand?”

Hu Die felt guilty when he saw him, she couldn’t help biting the corner of her lower lip, and confessed softly: “There are still knees…”

Jing Yue sighed, “Let’s go.”

“where to?”

“Take you down the mountain first.” Jing Yue got up and packed the two people’s things, and called out: “Mo Hai.”

Waiting for someone to approach, he handed Hu Die’s small bag and his own schoolbag to Mo Hai: “Carry it.”

Mo Hai: “Oh.”

Hu Die couldn’t bear to see Mo Hai being supported by Jing Yue in such a way: “Why are you bullying the child again?”

Jing Yue glanced at her, didn’t make a sound, just squatted down in front of her suddenly, bent his right knee slightly, put his arm on it, and said without turning his head, “Come up.”

Hu Die stammered: “What, what?”

Jing Yue laughed: “What else can I do?”

He looked back at the girl who was stunned on the spot: “Come up, I’ll carry you down.”

“I don’t need to carry it…”

“Then hug?” Jing Yue got up and stood up.

“…” Hu Die pursed her lips: “Recite.”

Jing Yue squatted down again, Hu Die leaned over cautiously, he reached out to hook her knee, and the moment he stood up, Hu Die put his arms around his neck.

He froze suddenly.

Hu Die let go of her hand again, “Did I strangle you?”

“No.” He adjusted the posture of the two of them a little bit, clutching his T-shirt, “Let’s go, don’t move around.”

“Oh.” At first, Hu Die deliberately leaned back slightly to widen the distance between the two, but later she felt too tired and didn’t care about so much, so she simply lay on his back: “Jing More than my brother.”

There was an indistinct pause in his footsteps, “Why?”

“I shouldn’t be heavy?”

“Um.”

“Hey.” She sighed.

Jing Yue looked at the road under his feet and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Suddenly I miss my dad. He carried me down the mountain like this when I was young.”

“…” Jing Yu also sighed, “Let’s meet quietly.”

Hu Die chuckled, leaning on his shoulder, feeling warm and at ease in her heart, and then fell asleep unconsciously.

They didn’t go too far up the mountain, they just carried people on their backs, Jing Yue didn’t dare to go too fast, and it would take half an hour to get down the mountain.

He woke up Hu Die and took people to a nearby clinic.

Hu Die fell hard, and both knees were bruised to varying degrees, but luckily the skin was not broken. The doctor rubbed some medicated oil on her, “I don’t move around these two days, and there are no other major problems.”

Hu Die gasped: “Thank you doctor.”

“It’s okay.” The doctor took care of it and took out a tissue to wipe his hands. “Okay, let your partner carry you today.”

“Ah?” Hu Die was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Jing Yue who was standing aside, before he could deny it, Jing Yue had already walked towards her.

As if he didn’t hear anything, he squatted on the ground and put down the trousers for her, then turned his back to her and said, “Let’s go.”

Hu Die was still in a daze, and the doctor reminded: “Take the medicine.”

“Ah, oh.” She reached out and grabbed the medicine bag on the table, hurriedly returned to his back, and when she wrapped her arms around his neck, she vaguely heard him laughing.

Hu Die asked, “What are you laughing at?”

Jing Yu denied, “When did I laugh?”

“Just now.”

“What am I laughing at?”

“How do I know what you’re laughing at?”

“Then how do you know I’m smiling?”

“I heard it.”

“But I didn’t laugh.”

“…”

No one knows whether Jing Yu smiled or not, but the doctor couldn’t help laughing when he heard the conversation between the two: “It’s nice to be young.”

Hu Die’s face became hot and she stopped arguing with him.

Jing Yue really laughed, “Let’s go, Shao Yun and the others should come down later, let’s find a restaurant and wait for them.”

Hu Die muttered: “Whatever you want.”

There are many places to eat on Tan Island, Jing Yu found a restaurant with the highest rating on Dianping, and took Hu Die and Mo Hai to wait for a table.

It was almost twelve o’clock, and they went up the mountain to worship the incense group before arriving at the store.

Zhou Lianyi saw that Hu Die was rubbing the medicine on her hand, and said in surprise: “What’s wrong with little butterfly?”

“I accidentally fell while walking.” Hu Die moved her hand under the table and said with a smile, “It’s all taken care of, it’s nothing serious.”

“It’s fine, just be careful when you walk in the future.”

“Well, I will.”

Several people chatted for a while, and waited for the waiter to serve the dishes one after another before starting to move their chopsticks. After eating, they sat in the restaurant for a while.

Jing Yue got up to check out, Hu Die asked Jiang Linlin who was closest to her: “Sister Lin, what are your arrangements for the afternoon?”

“We are going to go snorkeling.” Jiang Linlin asked with a smile, “Have you ever played?”

Hu Die shook her head: “I’m a landlubber, I can’t swim, and I think I may have deep-sea phobia, so I dare not go too deep into the sea.”

“Hahaha, we won’t be too shallow, but we just feel that it’s a rare time to come to a seaside city, and it’s too bad not to play with all our heart in the sea.”

“Then you all pay attention to safety.”

“Don’t worry, we are accompanied by professionals.” Zhou Lianyi pointed to Li Zhi and Fang Jiayi and said, “Both of them have professional diving certificates.”

Hu Die was startled and said, “That’s amazing.”

“Don’t flatter them, beware of their pride.”

Fang Jia said: “My sister is telling the truth, so I have to say a few more words to tell the truth. If you praise your sister, I am proud of mine.”

Hu Die laughed twice, Jing Yue came over and put two plum candies in front of her: “What are you laughing at?”

Zhou Lianyi said, “We’re chatting.”

He didn’t care, leaned over and took Hu Die’s small bag from the side, “Let’s go.”

Everyone said yes, and got up with their bags.

Hu Die picked up the two candies on the table, followed Jing Yue and walked behind. When she reached the door, she saw a plate of plum candies on the bar.

She looked over at Jing Yue, and he looked over in the next second: “What’s wrong?”

“It’s okay.” Hu Die clenched the candy tightly in her hand, and the sawtooth on the edge of the plastic packaging bag cut her palm, causing a slight pain.

Jing Yu said “Yes” and didn’t ask any more questions.

The group returned to the yacht again, Hu Die was a little dizzy, and went to the cabin to rest. She was lying on the sofa, and they could still see their figures walking outside through the small window.

Hu Die took out the two plum candies from his pocket, thought for a while, but still didn’t open them, and put them together in his small bag.

After falling asleep for a while, she heard someone knocking something, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Jing Yue standing there through the glass of the small window.

He leaned against the window with his mobile phone, and there were two words on the screen.

—Take medicine.

It’s almost two o’clock.

Hu Die said “I got it”, and was afraid that he would not hear him, so she found her mobile phone and sent him a sentence “I got it” on WeChat.

The next second, the phone vibrated.

Jing Yu: It’s going to be a bit sunny outside, I have sunscreen in my bag, you put it on before going out.

Butterfly: OK.

Hu Die found the medicine box from her bag. She takes a lot of medicine every day. Jiang Man packed the medicines in order. It took her several minutes to finish them one by one. She drank most of the bottle of water.

She sat there for a while before reaching out to find sunscreen. After applying the face and neck, she twisted the cap and put it back. When she got up to put on her coat, her eyes suddenly became dizzy, and she fell down on the sofa.

Fortunately, the dizziness was only temporary. Hu Die closed her eyes and didn’t dare to move, waiting for the dizziness to pass, rubbing her temples and sitting up.

She took a sip of water and was about to go out when she heard Fang Jiayi yelling outside: “Are you so **** interesting!”

It was loud and sounded like he was angry.

Hu Die held on to the door and stood there without moving. After a while, she heard Jing Yue’s voice: “I don’t even want to go down whether it’s interesting or not.”

She was hesitating whether to go out and have a look, Shao Yun walked over from the other side, met her gaze, and chuckled softly: “I’m awake.”

“Yeah.” Hu Die walked up the steps, walked to the side with Shao Yun and sat down, “What’s wrong with them?”

“Come on, back then Jing Yue was in a hurry and didn’t say anything, they were on fire.” Shao Yun changed into beach pants and a floral shirt, with a pair of black-framed sunglasses stuck on his head.

The yacht is far away from Tan Island at this moment. Looking from this position, the huge island is only the size of a reef.

Hu Die hugged her knees and watched the waves rise and fall, “Jing Yue…has he really retired?”

“No, it’s just a suspension of school and practice. Who said he retired?”

“Baidu Encyclopedia.” Hu Die said, “I heard you mention swimming the other day. I was a little curious so I searched it. I’m sorry.”

“What’s the matter, I also searched for you—” He paused.

“You know it too.”

“…Well.” Shao Yun raised his hand and rubbed her head like a brother: “Today, brother also made a wish for you, and then we will come and fulfill the wish together.”

Hu Die lowered her head and smiled, but she didn’t respond, and asked instead: “What kind of injury did Jing Yue get to suspend school and practice?”

Baidu Encyclopedia only wrote that he retired due to injury, and Hu Die didn’t search for relevant news at that time.

“Car accident.” Shao Yun stretched his arms back: “Last Qingming, he went home to visit his mother’s grave. Later, when his father sent him back to the team, he was hit by a large truck running a red light in the suburbs of the city. In order to protect him, Uncle Jing After seeing him, he died on the spot, he injured his shoulder and lay in the hospital for two months, after he was discharged from the hospital, he submitted an application for suspension of school and withdrawal from the team and left City B.”

Hu Die looked at Shao Yun and was silent for a while before recovering her voice: “Then is it true that he can no longer swim?”

“Maybe, it might be true, or it might be that he can’t get over the hurdle in his heart.” Shao Yun sighed: “The year his mother passed away, he was in closed training in the team, and he didn’t even see the last face. If I hadn’t come to swim, maybe none of this would have happened.”

“But it’s not his fault.”

Shao Yun smiled bitterly: “But he thinks it’s his fault. I haven’t seen him go into the water after the car accident, so I was so surprised when I heard that he saved you that day.”

Hu Die recalled the scene of the day when he fell into the sea, and all of a sudden his mind was filled with the scenes of Jing Yue’s previous game, and his energetic smile in front of the camera.

It was rare for Shao Yun to find a qualified listener, and he chatted with her about a lot of things about their previous competitions and training, until Zhou Lianyi came over and asked him to stop talking: “Huh, I have talked a lot today, and I feel much more comfortable gone.”

Hu Die smiled: “Thank you for telling me this too, I will keep it a secret.”

“Thanks.”

The result of the quarrel between Fang Jiayi and Jing Yue was obvious. He failed to persuade Jing Yue to go into the sea with them, changed his diving equipment with a dark face, climbed down the escalator of the yacht, and plunged into the sea.

“Jiayi, wait for us.” Hu Wenguang shouted, and hastily packed up his equipment, and gestured to the others: “I’ll follow him.”

Zhou Lianyi said: “Okay, you go first.”

Shao Yun stood aside as a qualified photographer and took several sets of photos for the two beautiful girls before entering the sea: “Okay, if you don’t go down, they will run out of oxygen later.”

“Help us take another photo in the ocean.”

Shao Yun made an OK gesture.

Standing on the second deck, Jing Yu watched them all enter the water, looked down and saw Hu Die on the platform area on the right side of the yacht.

As he walked over, he flicked his fingers on the brim of her hat.

Hu Die raised her head, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried, and when she saw it was him, she hurriedly lowered her head again.

Jing Yu was taken aback, and squatted in front of her: “What’s wrong?”

“fine.”

“Your eyes are red like rabbits, are you okay?” Jing Yue took off the hat on her head: “The hat was given to protect you from the sun, not to hide and cry. What’s the matter?”

“Take medicine.” Hu Die blinked, and tears fell down: “It’s too bitter.”

Jing Yue laughed: “You cry like this every time you take medicine. It seems that half of the credit for the rise in Tanhai’s sea level will be due to you.”

“…” Hu Die choked up: “Can you chat?”

Jing Yue laughed again, went back to the cabin to get a wet tissue, came out and saw Mo Hai leaning in front of Hu Die, walked over to hook him by the collar and picked him up: “Go and play with Brother Shao Yun.”

He handed the wet tissue to Hu Die.

Mo Hai didn’t want to leave, so he lay down on the ground with large characters: “I’m going to be here.”

“I’ve never seen you like this.” Jing Yue pushed his legs, moved out of his seat and sat down by himself, glancing at Hu Die from time to time.

Hu Die was not as uncomfortable as before. She wiped her eyes and hands again, “I’m so thirsty, I’ll get water, do you want it?”

Jing Yu stared at her for a few seconds, “No, you can drink.”

“Oh.”

Hu Die entered the cabin and came out soon. It will be almost three o’clock, and the sun is still very strong at sea. Jing Yue waited for her to finish drinking the water, then put the hat on her head again: “Put it on.”

She didn’t say anything, just raised her hand and readjusted.

The yacht fluctuates with the sea, and there will be a slight shaking.

Hu Die stood up, looked towards the distant coast, and asked, “When shall we go back?”

“They will go back when they come up from snorkeling, why, do you want to go back?” After Jing Yue finished speaking, he was about to use his mobile phone to make a call.

“No, I just want to stay outside for a while. I have never seen a sunset at sea.”

“Then we’ll finish watching today and then go back.” Jing Yue leaned forward, arms resting on the railing, his white T-shirt was blown up by the sea breeze.

After waiting quietly for a while, Hu Die turned to look at him: “Jing Yue.”

“Um?”

“Are you really not allowed to swim anymore?”

Jing Yue looked at her sideways, with a faint smile on his face, without any superfluous expression, “Can you chat?”

“…Aren’t I just talking like a child?”

“Now admit that you are a child?”

Hu Die touched her nose, “It was a child.”

“Could it be that important?”

“Of course it’s important. If you can’t swim, you still save me… how great it is.”

Jing Yu sneered: “Then I can’t just ignore death, can I?”

Hu Die said seriously: “Then thank you for saving me.”

“You’re welcome.” Jing Yue maintained that posture, looked sideways at her, and after a long silence, he said lightly: “Actually…that day…you just forget it if you think about it, right?”

He grew up soaking in the water since he was a child, and he has seen how much a drowning person can struggle to survive, but that day, from the time she fell into the sea to the time he entered the sea, she did not struggle at all, as if To be one with this silent sea.

Hu Die looked at him, his eyes were calm and gentle, and he didn’t seem to care about her answer. She slowly lowered her eyes, “I…”

“The two downstairs—”

Another voice came out at the same time as her, and Hu Die subconsciously turned her head to look over.

On the platform on the second floor, Shao Yun stood there with his camera in his hand, waiting for the moment when she and Jing Yue looked over at the same time, then he pressed the shutter button.

In the frozen picture, the postures of the two are surprisingly consistent. The girl slightly raises her head, even from this angle, her face still looks very small.

The boy on the side leaned over the railing, his head tilted slightly, and he clearly looked at the camera the moment he pressed the shutter, but in the photo, his eyes fell on the girl beside him.

The corner of the T-shirt bulged by the wind lightly touched the girl’s arm, as if tentatively wanting to hold hands, but stopped due to timidity.

Shao Yun stared at the photo in the viewfinder frame for two seconds, put down the camera, and said to the two of them, “I won’t show you the photo for now, I’ll develop it and show it to you when I get back.”

Jing Yue mocked, “Just tell me if the filming is not good.”

Shao Yun rushed down from the upstairs cursing, put the camera aside and started arguing with Jing Yue. He was not Jing Yue’s opponent, and he was thrown from the yacht into the sea by him.

He soaked in the sea water, brushed his wet hair, and said to Jing Yue who was standing on the boat, “Come down?”

“No.” Jing Yue clapped his hands, didn’t bring up the previous topic again, and said to Hu Die: “I’ll go inside for a rest.”

Hu Die nodded, watched him walk into the cabin, and then looked at Shao Yun who was still in the sea. His expression was a little helpless, but it was expected.

Fang Jiayi and the others dived for more than half an hour, the two girls were brought up first, and the three of them floated in the sea for a while before boarding the boat.

It was still a while before sunset, and several people played Monopoly on the boat. It was almost six o’clock before nine people came out of the cabin.

The wind blows on the sea, the sun sets, and a round sun hangs above the sea level. The whole sea area seems to be coated with a layer of orange-yellow paint. The sea water is surging, and the waves are like falling stars, shining brightly in the twilight .

Looking at the scenery in front of her, Hu Die suddenly sighed, “What a pity.”

Jing Yue looked at her: “What?”

“I have seen so many sunsets by the sea, but I have never seen a sunrise.”

Jing Yu looked into the distance: “Next time I have a chance, I will show you.”

“Really?”

Jing Yue turned his head to meet her expectant gaze, and gave a soft “hmm”.

Several people were still admiring the beautiful scenery, and the driver said from the radio: “We’re going back, stand still and don’t fall.”

After speaking, the yacht sailed slowly towards the other shore.

When they got to the place, Hu Die didn’t want Jing Yue to carry her on her back, but when she got off the boat, her feet slipped and she almost fell through the gap between the boat and the shore.

Jiang Linlin looked at her with lingering fears in her heart: “I was scared to death, but luckily Jing Yue held you back.”

Hu Die was also taken aback. The wrist tightly held by Jing Yue hurt a little and she didn’t dare to say anything, so she could only be carried by him obediently.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” She lay on his back and apologized softly.

Jing Yue sighed: “Sooner or later, I will be scared to death by you.”

“…”

Shao Yun took Fang Jiayi and the others back to Jing Yue’s house first, but Hu Die didn’t plan to go to eat, and Jing Yue carried her to the hospital.

Passing by the place where Hu Die fell into the sea before, she suddenly said without thinking: “You guessed it right.”

Jing Yue didn’t respond, but they both knew what the other meant.

—She really thought about dying in the sea that day.

In the past six months, from admission to diagnosis, Hu Die never showed any timidity in front of her parents. She comforted and relieved them, and tried her best not to look so pessimistic and negative.

Jiang Man and Hu Yuanheng were worried that she would not wake up every day, and they simply slept in the same room with her from escorting to later.

Sometimes she wakes up a little later, half asleep and half awake, feeling her parents carefully testing her breath.

She has no choice but to learn to be brave and optimistic, but she is only seventeen years old, and has not even spent one-third of her life, so how can she not be afraid of death.

Rather than waiting anxiously in the hospital for that day to come, watching her parents worry about herself every day, perhaps dying like that would be the best ending for her.

But that day, the butterfly met a whale in the sea.

He saved her.

So this time, let her save him.
