Epilogue At that time, I wished he could always remember her 5000
Chapter (9
"If my heart is tired, my tears have dried up. This deep love is hard to let go. I once had you forever, but I no longer see you, Twilight and Chaochao. This love will always be hard. I hope I can embrace you again in the next life. How about loving someone?
Stay with me until you grow old..."
In the carriage, this sad love song was played quietly.
Qian Qian fell asleep in Qin Zixin's arms. Ji Lingtian was driving. Qin Zixin looked up at the road ahead from time to time. Occasionally, his peripheral vision would pass by Ji Lingtian in the driver's seat, but he never said a word to him.
Of course Ji Lingtian didn't have any farewell words to say to her, so the car was always quiet on the way to the airport.
…
After arriving at the airport, Qian Qian's mood improved significantly after waking up. She was not as depressed as she had been all morning. She was jumping up and down while holding Qin Zixin's hand.
After the luggage was checked in, Qin Zixin asked, "Qianqian, do you have anything happy to share with mommy?"
He replied with a slight smile, "Daddy told me he will be back next month."
"next month?"
Qin Zixin turned around and glanced at Ji Lingtian, who was wearing sunglasses next to him.
Ji Lingtian and Qin Zixin nodded lightly.
Qin Zixin was a little confused and said Qianqian, "Mommy, you forgot, it's my birthday next month and Daddy is coming back to celebrate my birthday."
"...Oh." She almost forgot, her daughter's birthday was coming soon.
Qian Qian held Qin Zixin's hand, "So Mommy, I'm not afraid of being separated from Daddy now, because Daddy will come back next month..."
Qin Zixin scolded him softly, "Qianqian, just let your dad tell you on the phone when you are born. If you ask your dad to fly back from New York to say it to you, he will be very tired...
"
"Mommy, I also know that Daddy is very busy at work, but Daddy will come back next month not for me, but for you!"
"ah?"
The quirky little devil explained, "My birthday is also the hardest day in Mommy's life, so Daddy wants to give Mommy the best compensation on that day."
The child's explanation is quite logical, but...it sounds a bit strange.
Qin Zixin could only smile stupidly.
"Okay, daughter, it's almost time for security check... Let daddy hold you."
At the security checkpoint, the man took off his sunglasses, picked up his daughter, and kissed her forehead lovingly.
Qian Qian hugged her father's neck, with a look of reluctance in her eyes, but she said sensibly, "Don't worry, I will listen to mommy."
"good."
Ji Lingtian put Qian Qian down and looked at Qin Zixin who smiled lightly, "Take care of yourself."
Qin Zixin had long been accustomed to cooperating with Ji Lingtian. There was reluctance in her eyes and she nodded, "You too."
Announcements began on the plane to remind them of the upcoming flight.
"Qianqian, we're going in."
Qin Ziqian looked at his parents calmly, "Mommy and Daddy, we are about to say goodbye. Why don't you give me a hug?"
Qin Zixin and Ji Lingtian looked at each other, and there was already a tacit understanding in their eyes. They smiled at each other, and Ji Lingtian pressed Qin Zixin into his arms.
Qin Zixin also reached out to hug Ji Lingtian, but if you look carefully, you can see that her hands are trembling slightly.
When he let go of the other party, Ji Lingtian pecked Qin Zixin's beautiful face.
Qian Qian looked happy.
Many people noticed them, which made Qin Zixin blush involuntarily.
Ji Lingtian finally held her face and said softly, "Baby, I love you."
Qin Zixin nodded and replied affectionately, "I love you too."
…
Finally, bidding farewell to Ji Lingtian, Qin Zixin walked into the security checkpoint with Qianqian.
After passing the security check, in the waiting hall, Qin Zixin clutched her chest, her body suddenly softened, and she almost fell, but luckily she held Qianqian in her arms.
Suddenly seeing his mother collapsed, Qin Ziqian was startled. He quickly supported his mother and called out in horror, "Mommy..."
Qin Zixin slowly squatted down and held her chest tightly with her hands.
"Mommy, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Qianqian..."
The sudden pain in her heart made Qin Zixin almost speechless, and a steady stream of sweat began to accumulate on her forehead.
"Mommy, are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll call Daddy..."
Qin Ziqian turned around and was about to rush out of the security checkpoint, but Qin Zixin reached out and caught her in time.
Fortunately, the pain this time was severe, but short-lived. She managed to take two deep breaths, and the pain had eased.
Qin Zixin's voice was weak, "Mommy is fine... Please help mommy go over there and take a rest."
"But Mommy, you look so uncomfortable..." Qin Ziqian held her mother tightly.
She feels so uncomfortable...
In the past few days, her heart pain had become more and more frequent.
Especially since last night to today, it has happened twice, which seems to mean... her physical condition does not seem to be as good as she thought.
After sitting down and resting for a minute, the pain gradually subsided. Qin Zixin was about to comfort her daughter when she realized that her daughter was making a call on her mobile phone.
"Qianqian, who are you calling?"
"Daddy!"
What?
Qin Zixin's face was paler than before. When she wanted to snatch Qian Qian's phone, the call was already connected.
Ji Lingtian on the other end obviously didn't know that the caller was Qian Qian, his voice was cold, "What's the matter?"
Qian Qian was so anxious that she didn't notice her father's tone. She nervously said to him, "Daddy, Mommy is not feeling well. She almost fainted just now..."
"Really? Give your phone to your mommy."
Qin Ziqian hurriedly handed the phone to Qin Zixin.
Qin Zixin put the phone to her ear helplessly, "Huh?"
"Are you feeling unwell?" he asked.
"It's okay, you know..." Fortunately, something similar happened last night and she now had a reason to stall him.
"If you really feel uncomfortable, just change to the next plane!"
"No... uh, I'm going to get on the plane, that's it!" Qin Zixin hurriedly hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief.
Qian Qian looked at her mother without blinking, "Mommy..."
Unavoidable Qin Ziqian asked more questions, Qin Zixin hurriedly pulled her daughter towards the boarding gate, "Mommy is fine, let's go, we are the only ones not boarding the plane."
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Humans invented the airplane, which is a really good means of transportation. It can make two people who were close to each other in the same room last night become thousands of miles apart in an instant.
The day after Qin Zixin returned to Y City, Gu Yuchen called her.
Qin Zixin had no intention of seeing Gu Yuchen again, and returning to City Y was just a good reason, but she never expected that Gu Yuchen actually flew to City Y from New York.
…
From a distance, Gu Yuchen waved to her.
Qin Zixin glanced around the most exclusive French restaurant in City Y, took a breath, and then walked towards Gu Yuchen.
Gu Yuchen chose a seat by the window. He had a good view and could see the bustling streets under the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Qin Zixin sat down opposite Gu Yuchen, frowning slightly.
Gu Yuchen asked with a smile, "Do you mind if I have already ordered for you?"
"Imperial minister, I'm not here to have dinner with you today..."
"I know, I have been in Y City for so many days, but you still refused to come out until today."
Qin Zixin spat out guiltily, "If I have done anything to misunderstand you before, I am sorry to you, but I..."
"It's really impossible for you and me to develop, right?" Gu Yuchen leaned back on his chair and looked at her with a lazy smile on his lips.
Qin Zixin nodded.
Gu Yuchen smiled softly, "Don't think too much, I asked you out, you just need to treat it as a friendship between us."
"But I..."
"I should say 'I'm sorry' to you. Didn't I scare you last time?"
Qin Zixin glanced at the smiling Gu Yuchen, and finally smiled slightly, "I'm really scared by you... But looking at your appearance now, it seems you were joking with me last time."
Gu Yuchen responded with a laugh.
He didn't answer, because both of them knew deep down that she said this just to resolve each other's embarrassment, and he didn't want to be impulsive anymore, otherwise, she would really never see him again.
"The food here is good, let's eat first!"
"good."
…
While the two were having an elegant meal, Qin Zixin said with a smile, "I was really scared to death before, thinking that you really made the trip back to China just for me."
"There is a new project in city t that I need to take charge of... I have nothing to do these days, so I came to city y to see you. Unfortunately, you have always refused before."
Qin Zixin spat out embarrassedly, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay. Finally you are willing to see me today... I will go to City T tomorrow."
"As the chairman of the International Business Council, you are able to travel around the world. In fact, your job is very enviable."
"That's why I chose this job in the first place."
"I know you like to be unrestrained. You won't like sitting in an office every day."
"It seems that you are still the one who understands me best..."
"Well……"
"I mean between friends."
"Of course, after all we have known each other since childhood!"
"By the way..." Gu Yuchen wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, "I have something for you."
"ah?"
Gu Yuchen picked up an exquisitely wrapped square gift box from under the table and handed it to Qin Zixin.
"What is it? Why did you give it to me?"
"Because it's your thing."
"Huh?" Qin Zixin was quite confused.
"Open it and take a look..."
Under Gu Yuchen's expectant gaze, Qin Zixin slowly opened the gift box.
It turned out that the gift box contained a photo - to be precise, it was a photo of her when she was seventeen years old.
Qin Zixin was suddenly overjoyed, "You found this photo for me..."
Yes, this was taken by Ruoying when she was seventeen years old.
She felt that this photo captured her very beautifully, and she secretly thought about printing a small one for Ji Lingtian and putting it in his wallet so that he could see her every day.
But who would have thought that this photo disappeared inexplicably later. She searched for it for a long time but could not find it. In the end, she had to give up the idea of putting the photo in Ji Lingtian's wallet.
Seeing Qin Zixin's happy look, Gu Yuchen apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Zixin, it was me who took this photo of you back then."
After hearing what Gu Yuchen said, Qin Zixin suddenly raised his head.
Gu Yuchen spoke slowly, "When I saw this photo, I really wanted to have it, but I know the person you want to give it to is not me..."
At that time, there was indeed enough innocence...
I think a photo can make people remember you for a lifetime.
Now that I think about it, when I thought I was mature, I actually didn’t understand anything at all.
"Did you enlarge the photo?"
"Well, the original photo is in the interlayer of this photo frame."
Qin Zixin looked at the photo and smiled slightly, "I should look much older than then, right?"
"No, you still look the same as you did then."
"You just know how to coax me..."
"I'm telling the truth, it's just... you are thinner than before."
"Imperial minister, thank you." In the past few days, she was looking through her past photos and found that she didn't have any photos from the past. Now she finally has... a photo that can be seen lying beautifully on the tombstone.
"Fool...I should have returned it to its original owner long ago."
…
After the meal, Gu Yuchen insisted on sending her home, but she refused.
He had no choice but to accompany her to wait for a taxi on the side of the road.
While waiting for the taxi, Gu Yuchen hesitated and said, "Zixin, there is something I don't know whether to tell you..."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"The day before I came to City Y from New York, I attended a private party and happened to meet Ren Qingle... On that day, everyone brought their female or male companions, and the person who accompanied Ren Qingle was Mr. Ji
.”
"oh."
Qin Zixin responded lightly.
"Zixin, I didn't mean to tell you this, I just... wanted to tell you."
"I know you want me well...but it doesn't matter. My relationship with him really doesn't matter..." Qin Zixin said as she stopped a taxi.
Gu Yuchen opened the taxi door for Qin Zixin like a gentleman.
Qin Zixin was about to get into the car when suddenly, her eyesight dimmed. Before she realized anything, a severe cramping pain suddenly came from her heart...
"Well..."
With a cry of pain, Qin Zixin suddenly fell down in front of Gu Yuchen.
Gu Yuchen reached out to catch Qin Zixin in time, his face turned pale, "Zixin, Zixin..."
…
Qin Zixin was sent to the hospital.
This is the second time Qin Zixin has been admitted to the hospital in more than ten days since he returned to Y City.
The first time was at home. The servant saw her suddenly fainting and sent her to the hospital immediately...
That time she woke up when she arrived at the hospital. When the doctor examined her, she immediately refused. After that, she ordered the servants not to tell anyone, including Qian Qian and Ji Lingtian.
She didn't expect that she would faint in front of Gu Yuchen this time.
She knew that her condition had become serious, because she could no longer control the pain, and the severe pain would make her faint...
"Doctor, how is she?"
Qin Zixin vaguely heard Gu Yuchen nervously asking the doctor.
The doctor said, "I'm sorry, I have to do another detailed examination on her...because initially, her condition is not very optimistic."
"What do you mean by not being optimistic?"
"When I examined Miss Qin, I found that she had had surgery on her heart."
"Yes, she has congenital heart disease, but she has had a heart transplant before."
"However, her body experienced severe rejection."
"What?"
"Are you a family member of hers?"
"I...I am her friend."
"Then call her family members. Because of her condition, I need to communicate with her family members."
Gu Yuchen heard the hidden meaning behind the doctor's words, "What do you mean?"
"Everything has to wait for the detailed examination results to come out." When the doctor said this, he shook his head.
Gu Yuchen trembled.
…
In the office, the doctor looked at the examination report in his hand with a solemn expression.
Gu Yuchen said anxiously, "Doctor, please tell me the test results."
"Mr. Gu, I asked you to notify the patient's family, have you notified them?"
Gu Yuchen, who had been patient all afternoon, finally grabbed the collar of the doctor's white coat and said angrily, "Damn it, I'm not in the mood to inform any family members right now... Please tell me what happened to her?"
The doctor was very frightened and said, "Please calm down, calm down."
Gu Yuchen firmly let go of the doctor and snatched the examination report from the doctor's hand.
The next moment, his eyes widened in fear, and he took a step back. The inspection report slipped from his hand...
In the middle of the examination report, there is a row of words printed - cardiac rejection, vital signs, up to three months.
