Flourishing Life to the End - C200
Long Zijin seemed to have felt my gaze and he opened his eyes. Looking at me, his eyes were filled with fatigue and worry, causing me to feel heartache.
“Where’s the child?” This was also the first question I woke up with. Regardless, this was still my first child. I wanted him to be born safely.
“Sister Yi Yi, this is my porridge, are you hungry?” I looked at the congee in Dong’er’s hands, but my stomach wasn’t hungry. I didn’t have any appetite at all. I just felt that my body was empty and I was missing something.
“Where’s Ye Tong?” I know that before I fainted, Ye Tong was shot, but I don’t know if Ye Tong was heavily injured, I really want to remember that phrase of his from the next life.
Dong’er looked at Long Zijin, and Long Zijin indicated to Dong’er. Dong’er then told me that Ye Tong’s operation was already over, and the warhead had also been removed from his body. Only, he was still unconscious, so Liu Tanqing was there to take care of him, and nothing would happen to his.
I nodded my head in silence, and continued to eat the porridge in my bowl. I had clearly pulled the trigger, but the gun did not ring, while Shangguan Qian’s gun rang. It seemed that Ye Tong knew from the start that there were no bullets in the gun, and had only placed it on the table on purpose.
I don’t know if he originally didn’t want Long Zijin to die, or if he didn’t plan to let Long Zijin shoot himself, but as I drank my porridge, which was very sweet and sticky, I knew that Dong’er had spent a lot of time and effort to taste it, but when I tasted it, my mouth seemed to have lost its taste.
“I’m a bit tired, I want to sleep.” I was indeed a little tired. Although I had just woken up, receiving the lost child’s message had been a huge blow to me. I could not hear any more news. I only wanted to sleep now.
Inwardly, I kept hinting that maybe when I woke up, the child was still there, everything was still there when I woke up. I was still preparing my wedding invitation, while Long Zijin was already at work.
I remember that I just gave the Sister Yuan an invitation to marry. The next thing is the rich embroidery, and finally, it’s Dong’er and Liu Tanqing. I know that it’s just a dream right now, but everything will be different when I wake up.
I gently lied down, and Dong’er didn’t say anything as she packed her things and walked out. When Long Zijin saw that I had fallen asleep, he quietly walked out as well.
It seemed that that shot did not kill Ye Tong. Ye Tong had just finished his surgery, and was still in the hospital, while Shangguan Qian, did not know how Shangguan Qian was doing, and was extremely loyal to Ye Tong.
It must have been very painful for Shangguan Qian right at the moment the shot was fired. I heard him kneel on the ground, and the muffled, powerful voice that lingered in my mind for a long time.
I forced myself not to think about it. I forced myself to sleep, sleep had always been something I lacked, and finally I fell asleep and had a dream.
In my dream, I was wearing a wedding dress with Long Zijin waiting for me. I looked at Long Zijin from afar with incomparable happiness in my heart, I caressed my stomach and realised that my stomach was round. Unexpectedly, my stomach started to show after a few days.
I touched my belly, and I could feel him touching me, too, and our hands seemed to be together, so warm, so soft.
I held the fresh flowers in my hands, and slowly walked towards Long Zijin. I didn’t know why, but the further I walked, the further I went, and the longer I went, as if I couldn’t reach the end. I looked at Long Zijin, and saw that he was smiling at me, but gradually, I couldn’t see his face.
I started to run towards him in a panic. I ran towards him, but as he became more and more blurry, I could barely see his figure. I panicked.
It was originally just a dream, but the feeling of parting in the dream was so real that even I didn’t dare to sleep. I was afraid of having the same dream, I had already lost my child, I can’t lose Long Zijin again.
Long Zijin seemed to realize that I had woken up and walked in. Maybe he was afraid to disturb my rest or maybe he was afraid that I was in a bad mood, so he stayed outside.
“We still have children, don’t we?” After I said those words to the window, not only must I, Long Zijin, as the father of a child feel very uncomfortable, I should not have ignored his feelings.
Long Zijin came over and hugged me, and when my head rested against Long Zijin’s abdomen, I could hear the sounds of heartbeats coming from above.
“We’ll have more.” I looked up at him. There were no tears in his eyes, only red circles in his eyes. I knew he was sad, but I didn’t want to show weakness.
I grabbed his arm and gently hugged him, greedily smelling the scent on his body. This smell is very familiar, very warm, as long as it is his embrace, I can always very naturally close my eyes, very naturally in a relaxed state.
He hugged Liu Tanqing for a very, very long time as he came over. His eyes were bloodshot and it seemed that the reason he hadn’t had a good sleep since then was definitely because of Ye Tong’s surgery.
“How is he?” I asked Liu Tanqing, and he covered his face, looking a little upset, and a little heartbroken.
“I ignored his psychological problems from when he was young. I never asked him what he thought. I didn’t take good care of him.” Liu Tanqing covered his face. I didn’t know if he was already crying, but his voice was indeed a little hoarse.
When Long Zijin saw him coming over, he immediately retreated. I looked at Liu Tanqing, not knowing how I should console him, but I could understand what he was feeling.
“Big brother, it’s alright. When Ye Tong wakes up, everything will probably be fine, I believe he will be fine.” I said to him, hoping it would help him.
Liu Tanqing removed his hand from his face and looked at me. He suddenly felt that Liu Tanqing seemed to have aged quite a few years, as this matter with Ye Tong caused him more harm than I had imagined.
