Time passed by, and planes took off one after another. Xi Haitang's nerves were getting closer to collapse step by step. She clearly remembered the situation when she was at this airport three years ago, those hurried steps and urgent shouts,
There is also the endless pursuit of sadness...
But now, she is more helpless than three years ago. Three years ago, her search was to keep his person, but this time, she was not sure whether she could save his life from the hands of death after finding his person.
At this moment, she clearly recalled everything about Gu Xijue, his expression, words, breath, body temperature... and countless details.
Those memories were like seeds with strong vitality that took root deeply in her body, traveled in her blood, and merged with life. As long as she was still breathing, she would never perish.
Time and time again, a clear and sweet female voice sounded on the airport PA broadcasting the news of the flight taking off, but she could never wait for the one she was going to take. The crowds of people were coming in waves like the sea, back and forth, ups and downs.
Fu...
She looked around again and again, standing on tiptoes, but was covered by other figures rushing by...
She had never felt that time was so long, she had never felt that waiting was so painful, and she had never felt so deeply the same mood he had standing here waiting for her three years ago, expectant yet desperate.
Buddha said: There are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, illness, death, separation from love, long-term resentment, not being able to get what you want, and not being able to let go.
Taking a closer look, she has actually experienced all these eight hardships. Although she is still breathing, her life was protected by Xiao Muyuan with his life. He died for her.
It turns out that death can be so close and so cruel. She couldn't help feeling sad, and she couldn't help but tremble with fear...
Gu Xijue, please, you must be fine. I can't bear anything anymore, and Xiaochen and Yunhen can't bear anything anymore. We can't live without you.
Looking slightly sideways, she saw the two children sitting quietly beside her, saying nothing. From the road to now, they had never said a word.
Unable to help herself, she reached out and hugged the two children, hugging each other and keeping each other warm...

On the radio, the news finally came that the SAS flight passengers were boarding the plane. The plane finally took off on time as she waited eagerly. The stewardess informed some precautions in the cabin and then began to deliver free drinks.
"Two glasses of milk, thank you." Xi Haitang asked for two glasses of milk for Xiaochen and Yunhen. The children didn't even eat, which made her feel so distressed that she wanted to cry.
For the first time, she ordered a drink with hops. The clear aroma of the wine floated faintly in the air. She held the cup, took a deep breath, raised her head, and drank it bravely.
"Cough...cough...cough!" Although it was not pure alcohol, it was still spicy and choking. The spicy liquid flowed down her throat and trachea, causing her to cough violently, and her lungs seemed to be blocked.
Something clenched tightly into a ball, and the sore feeling in the nasal cavity made tears flow uncontrollably.
Although it was uncomfortable, her mind seemed to be much clearer. She wanted to use this method to remind herself to be brave, at least in front of the children. Because only if she was brave, Xiaochen and Yunhen would not be more afraid.
Xiaochen and Yunhen obediently reached out and patted her back to cheer her up, "Mommy, don't be impatient, drink slower."
The children didn't know what she was drinking, and it would be better if they didn't know. Xi Haitang forced a smile and comforted them, "Mommy is fine, and Daddy will be fine too."
"Yes!" Xiaochen and Yunhen nodded vigorously, as if they were convinced. However, their little hands were always holding the tourmaline pendants around their necks.
Three years ago, she designed a tourmaline pendant for each of her two children. Xiaochen’s was a small fish and Yunhen’s was a crane. They are both auspicious animals that can pray for health and safety.
What no one knows is that in her pocket, she also treasures two other tourmaline pendants, which are a pair of mandarin ducks. The feathers of the mandarin ducks are gorgeous, and the male and female live inseparable. If a person gets one of them, the other will miss him to death, so it is said that
A pair of birds. She had always hoped that one day, she and Gu Xijue could wear this pair of mandarin duck tourmalines together.
Only after practicing for a hundred lives can we cross the same boat, and only after practicing for a thousand lives can we sleep together. The gazing five hundred times in the previous life is exchanged for the brushing of shoulders once in this life.
She hoped that their life would be complete.

After more than nine hours of long-distance flight, Xi Haitang and her two children finally arrived at Copenhagen International Airport.
After the long journey, she and her two children were a little tired, but the physical fatigue was nothing compared to the mental fatigue.
Subconsciously, Xi Haitang squeezed the two children's hands tightly, while Xiaochen and Yunhen also understood and shook their hands hard, "Mommy, we must be brave!"
"Um!"
Xi Haitang took out his cell phone, turned it on again and dialed Gu Xijue's number. However, no one answered the landline in his apartment, nor the cell phone.
She was still a little disappointed, but she would not back down because she had done her homework in advance. Xi Haitang did not panic because she knew there was no time!
After taking a deep breath, she started calling all the hospitals in Copenhagen.
Soon, there was news - Gu Xijue was staying at Copenhagen National Hospital.
Sitting in the taxi, Xi Haitang looked out the window at the scenery along the way. The trees and streets receded quickly, the sky seemed bluer and farther away, and the bronze statue of the Little Mermaid stood on the seaside. She couldn't help but make a wish to it, and there was only one thing she kept silently saying over and over again.
Word - peace, peace.
Upon arriving at the destination, Xi Haitang rushed out of the taxi without even taking a breath and headed straight to the hospital building. At the corner of the corridor, she bumped into Qin Hao. Xiaochen and Yunhen even almost fell down.
After Qin Hao saw her and the two children, he couldn't hide his shock, "Why...are you here?!"
Xi Haitang gasped and shook his head. He had no time to explain, so he just asked, "Where is Gu Xijue? Where is he?"
