Chapter 57 I lied to you again
Cheng Shuyan couldn't help but turn to look at Yunzhi on the hospital bed. Her face was so pale it was almost transparent, and her cheeks had become thin.
He could hardly find that bright, sunny look in Yunzhi anymore.
The ravages of time have changed her beyond recognition.
Just then, Yunzhi's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, her amber eyes turning somewhat stiffly.
Like a piece of machinery that has been rusted for a long time.
Yunzhi tried to sit up, but found herself powerless. All she could see was the familiar ceiling, and the smell of disinfectant filled the air. Yunzhi realized she had arrived at the hospital.
She fainted during an argument with Cheng Shuyan.
Now that she has been sent to the hospital, her current physical condition can probably no longer be hidden from Cheng Shuyan.
Yunzhi slowly turned her head and saw Cheng Shuyan standing by her bedside, holding a stack of sheets in his hand, which made Yunzhi sigh.
Cheng Shuyan's voice trembled: "Why? Why has your body become like this!"
Yunzhi's expression was very calm, as if her condition was not as bad as Cheng Shuyan had seen, and was just a common minor illness.
However, this reaction only made Cheng Shuyan more devastated.
Cheng Shuyan knelt down in front of the hospital bed, not even daring to touch Yunzhi's thin wrist.
"Zhizhi, you've been hiding your health condition all this time. Why? Why did it turn out like this!"
Cheng Shuyan felt a metallic taste of blood in his throat, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Even when Cheng Shuyan first learned of Yunzhi and Ye Chengyan's marriage, he only felt dejected and helpless, never as devastated and frightened as he is now.
Because Yunzhi is going to die!
Looking at Cheng Shuyan, Yunzhi felt a bitter taste in her mouth. She slowly raised her hand and touched his cheek.
Unfortunately, my fingertips were also frighteningly cold.
"I'm sorry, I made you sad again."
Given her current state, Cheng Shuyan is even less likely to leave.
Yunzhi didn't insist.
Cheng Shuyan grasped Yunzhi's hand and hurriedly said, "It's okay, I'll take you to see the best doctors in the world. You're just having a minor illness, maybe it's even a misdiagnosis by the hospital. You'll get better, you'll recover."
His chest heaved violently as he pressed Yunzhi's hand tightly against his face, hoping to melt away her icy body heat.
Yunzhi smiled slightly. She didn't agree to Cheng Shuyan's request, but simply said it casually.
"Come with me on my final journey."
Her voice was very soft, so soft that it seemed as if a gust of wind would dissipate it into the air.
Cheng Shuyan did not answer.
"Brother, is it okay?" Yunzhi's eyes showed anticipation.
After a long silence, Cheng Shuyan closed his eyes.
“Okay.” His throat tightened. “I’ll agree to everything you want. I’ll agree to whatever you want to do.”
"Then smile. I'll feel guilty if you're so sad." The girl gently curled her finger and tapped Cheng Shuyan's cheek.
She maintained this relaxed demeanor throughout.
But Cheng Shuyan knew what kind of pain Yunzhi was enduring at that moment.
Late-stage bone cancer.
Yunzhi now experiences pain even when she breathes.
But Cheng Shuyan still listened to Yunzhi's words. He tried his best to force a smile, but the smile he showed was even uglier than crying.
Yunzhi pouted.
"Kind of ugly."
Ye Chengyan gently brushed Yunzhi's cheek with his fingertips, brushing away all the stray hairs.
"Yes, you are the most beautiful."
Yunzhi turned to look out the window. The bright sunlight cast shadows on the trees outside, making it a rare and beautiful day.
She blinked.
"I want to go outside for a walk and soak up some sun."
"Okay." Cheng Shuyan nodded and helped Yunzhi up.
He wanted the medical staff to bring a wheelchair, but Yunzhi refused.
“I’m not disabled and can’t walk, so there’s no need to worry so much.”
As if to prove to Cheng Shuyan that she was alright, Yunzhi even twirled around in front of him in her slippers.
In reality, Yunzhi understood that her body was currently only outwardly beautiful but inwardly rotten.
As for the pain, she had long since gotten used to it.
Cheng Shuyan looked deeply at Yunzhi, without refuting her, but quietly took her hand and led her out of the ward.
Just as Yunzhi said, the sunshine outside was wonderful, and the warmth it brought on her body completely dispelled the chill.
She took a deep breath and basked in the sunlight.
She will soon be leaving this place, and all her pain and regrets will disappear.
Cheng Shuyan watched from the side, her eyes filled with heartache.
It's all because of Ye Chengyan that she's become like this.
Cheng Shuyan cherished the time he spent with Yunzhi and wished he could extend it forever.
Unfortunately, the phone in his pocket kept buzzing. Cheng Shuyan ignored it several times and even hung up on it himself. Just as he was about to put it on silent, Yunzhi spoke up.
"I've called you so many times, it must be something very important, you should answer it."
"It doesn't matter."
Cheng Shuyan shook his head, but Yunzhi frowned after hearing his words, her eyes accusing him.
"Brother, I hope you can take good care of yourself and not let me delay anything, otherwise I will feel very guilty."
She paused here, "And didn't you just promise that you would agree to whatever I say?"
"Ok."
Cheng Shuyan sighed and reached out to touch Yunzhi's long hair. "I'll be right back."
Yunzhi added, "I'm hungry, can you buy me some more food?"
Cheng Shuyan nodded in agreement, turned around to answer the phone, and walked away.
He had only taken a few steps when he turned back to check on Yunzhi. Seeing that she was still sitting obediently in the same spot, he felt relieved.
What Cheng Shuyan didn't know was that Yunzhi had already seen all his actions out of the corner of her eye.
As Yunzhi watched Cheng Shuyan's retreating figure, a tear suddenly rolled down her cheek, and her smile faded.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to lie to you again."
She turned her head resolutely.
"But I really hope you're doing well."
Forget about me.
Cheng Shuyan.
Her voice was melted by the bright sunlight.
……
Soon, Cheng Shuyan finished his phone call and returned with Yunzhi's favorite food, only to find that Yunzhi was no longer on the bench.
He was stunned.
"Zhizhi?"
Cheng Shuyan looked around, searching for Yunzhi's figure. "Stop fooling around, come out quickly."
The things in his hands fell to the ground, and Cheng Shuyan was extremely anxious.
He quickly ran back to the ward, only to find that Yunzhi was nowhere to be seen.
Cheng Shuyan closed his eyes in pain.
He's such an idiot! How could he leave Yunzhi there all alone?
"She can't have gone far!"
Cheng Shuyan left the hospital immediately.
