World of Belles - C310
Chapter 310 – Under the Stars of Love
I watched as the little girl was pushed into the ward. I watched as Qin Yuyin carried the little girl and cried all the way into the ward.
Grief filled the corridor.
For the first time in my life, I felt something so real and so bleak, and for the first time in my life, I suddenly realized that I had been wrong about what I thought was the right thing to do.
Is lying a sin? Is deceit evil?
Along the way, the originally vivid scenes of sin and evil, at this very moment, were suddenly disrupted.
I don’t know how to describe my mood at the moment, maybe the best way to describe it is with five different feelings.
Bewildered, I followed the little girl into the ward.
I saw Qin Yuyin surrounding the little girl, and I saw the Ixeris praeparata sitting beside her while rubbing her tears. I saw Ma Nannan holding onto the little girl’s hand and crying. I also saw three cute little girls crying to comfort the stars by their bed.
On the 540 km journey from Zhengzhou to Wuhan, I have seen the long river, the setting sun, the mountains, villages, and the fields. I have also seen the ugly and dirty scene, but the scene before me was the most beautiful and warm scene I have ever seen on my short journey.
When a person’s life came to an end, it was the happiest thing for them to have a group of people that loved them to stand by their side.
And did I?
When I die, who will weep for me, comfort me, stay by my side, until my breathing stops at the last moment?
Leaning against the door frame, I quietly looked at the stars on the bed. In the tranquil room, there was a breeze blowing by. It was the evening breeze blowing in from outside the windows of the ward. Unknowingly, it was already evening.
Will the little girl see the sunrise tomorrow?
“Elder Sister Yuanyin, I really like all of you. I really want to be with you guys! Thank you for taking care of me!”
It was unknown when the little girl had stopped crying. Instead, she was quietly smiling and speaking words of gratitude.
“Stop it, Star, you’ll be all right. “You’ll get better.” Qin Yuyin repeated the same words again and again. Her eyes glimmered with tears.
“Elder Sister Yuanyin, you have been to far places right? Are the stars there as big and round as the pictures?”
Even though she was too weak to speak, the little girl was still lying on the bed, leaning into Qin Yuyin’s embrace as she softly asked.
Qin Yuyin gently patted the little girl’s delicate shoulders. With a teary face and a forced smile, she began to narrate:
“Yeah. The sky there is very low. When you look up, the stars look like they’re hanging over your head, like big round apples. You can reach out and touch it. Once, one night, my sister got lost in the forest, and at that time, the sun went down, and everything was dark, and my sister couldn’t find the direction to go home, and at that time, the stars came out, and the stars covered the sky, and they all gathered together to form a vast Milky Way, and it was so long, and along the Milky Way, my sister found the direction to go home.
The little girl could barely keep her eyes open. She snuggled into Qin Yuyin’s embrace and said like a spoiled child:
“So beautiful, if only I could see it too!”
“You’ll see. When you recover, sister, carry you to pick the stars. We’ll pull the hook and you can do as you say.” Qin Yuyin stretched out her pinky and pulled at the little girl’s finger like a child.
“Do as you say, we made a promise.”
The little girl stretched out her tender little finger and hooked it with Qin Yuyin’s.
In a split-second, both of them cried.
He was already sobbing.
The pure voice gradually weakened, and the tears on the little girl’s face quickly dried up.
Outside the window, it was still dark. There was no night sky, nor was there a river of stars.
There was only an endless darkness.
I stood there, looking at the scene in the room.
If there had been a cigarette, I think I would have picked it up, even though I never smoked.
There was a wind blowing past my face and my hair. My eyes gradually moved away from the emaciated little girl on the bed and fell onto the endless night outside the window.
The night market had already begun, and I could hear the faint sounds of people hawking.
Then, like a flash of lightning, like a call of fate, I suddenly understood what I had to do.
At that moment, I suddenly knew what I could do.
That’s the real point of my trip.
Perhaps it was a divine arrangement.
It was also the call of an Empyrean God.
I must do this.
Only I can think of it.
“Little White, let’s go.” I said suddenly. For no reason at all, even I was surprised.
“Master?” Little White slowly turned his head, and with tears on his face, he looked at me in confusion.
“Qin Yuyin, take this child away. Let’s take her to see the stars. “Now.” I turned my head and said to Qin Yuyin, who was hugging a little girl.
“Stars? But … Qin Yuyin stared at me dumbly. Then, her eyes swept the space between the window and my face. She was clearly using her gaze to tell me where the stars came from in the big city.
“Yes, the stars.” But I still insist.
Then I laughed.
“I want to create a starry sky for all of you.”
Sometimes people are so confident. When you get inspired and decide what you want to do, the whole world is like your assistant, working together to help you.
This trip, for me, was a trip of stumbles and things going wrong, but it was at that moment that I felt sure I would succeed no matter what I did next.
There was no reason, no source, no explanation for this confidence, but at that moment, it was in my heart.
Half an hour later, I called Qing Han to transfer 300 thousand yuan from the online bank to Qin Yuyin’s bank card. Qin Yuyin carried the little girl’s star from the hospital on her back. With all the girls accompanying her, we arrived at the cultural plaza closest to the hospital.
The little girl took off her oxygen mask and quietly hung it on Qin Yuyin’s body. Her long eyelashes covered her eyes as she struggled to breathe. With a cough, it was as if she was about to leave this world in the next moment.
“Take it, Little White. Be careful, take it.” On the square, I lined up all the girls, waiting for my orders.
“Oh, master.” Little White looked at me and obediently took what I gave her.
“Come come come, everyone come over here, we’re sending off the aperture lamp for free! Come on everyone! ” I booked a stall selling aperture lamp and stood on the high platform of Culture Square shouting. Hearing my shout, the women in the square gradually gathered around me. The gazes of curiosity fell on me one after another.
“Today is the day that my sister will be discharged from the hospital. I have made an appointment with her to help her fly the thousand aperture lamp that day she was released from the hospital. I hope that everyone can help me find a small favor to help me release the aperture lamp together, alright? This aperture lamp is free, but everyone needs to listen to my orders, and can only release it when I say to release it, okay? ”
The effect of a group gathering was very scary, and women like to take advantage of creatures that can be sold by jumping off buildings. Thus, after I shouted out loud, more and more people on the cultural plaza gathered towards us. At first, there were a few fragments, then dozens, then hundreds, and soon, hundreds of people gathered towards us.
Old people, women, and children gathered around us, one face after another, for a little girl we never knew.
She, Xiao Bai, the three little girls, Ma Nannan and the Ixeris praeparata stood together, distributing the aperture lamp to the bystanders who passed by.
Bright and warm lights slowly lit up on the plaza one after another. The originally black night sky was also illuminated by the lights from the ground in an instant.
When the last aperture lamp also fell into the hands of the tourists, I let Qin Yuyin carry the little girl up to the stage and stand by my side. Qin Yuyin looked at me with incomparably grateful eyes with glistening teardrops.
“Star, wake up and see the Milky Way!”
A gentle voice rang out, and the sleeping little angel slowly opened her weak eyes.
Seeing that the stars had awoken, I made a prompt decision and shouted to the crowd below the stage:
“Fire!”
In almost an instant, aperture lamp flew up from the ground one after another, leaving this cold world. They were like meteors rising from the earth, converging towards the dark night sky, and with the flowing lights, an artificial galaxy was formed!
The starry sky filled with aperture lamp s, as if thousands of broken stars were flickering, creating a dream-like world.
“So beautiful!”
The people on the ground looked up at the starry sky, madly taking photos and cheering.
The weak little girl lay on Qin Yuyin’s shoulder. She widened her teary eyes in disbelief as she stared blankly at the dazzling galaxy.
What was she thinking that second?
I’m afraid no one will ever know.
“What beautiful stars! Thank you everyone! Thank you for being so nice to me!”
The little girl softly said, sparkling teardrops rolling down from the corner of her eyes.
The pair of eyes that had seen the beauty of the world slowly closed at this moment.
It was closed forever.
Did the little girl really see the stars?
The smile still hung at the corner of her mouth. It was clear what she was thinking.
