Chapter 120 Parting (Part Three)

the end of April.

After Xiaoguai passed away, the hospital bed next door has been empty.Without Xiao Guai's company, An Mu would stare out the window in a daze most of the time.

Xiaoguai's departure made him realize clearly that many things may end up being nothing but a bamboo basket.Xiaoguai's parents didn't know that their son's illness was difficult to cure, but they were unwilling to give up.So all the family wealth was spent to treat the child's illness, but in the end only the result of personal wealth was empty.

Poor parents all over the world, if they hadn't spent all their money to treat Xiaoguai's illness, Xiaoguai would still leave. Although they left their property by doing so, they probably won't be able to forgive themselves for not saving their son in this lifetime.

Some choices have no right answer.

He turned on the phone and looked through the chat records between him and Lin Jingjing one by one.

He felt a little uncomfortable in his abdomen, but he didn't care, and then looked through the records.

The pain in the abdomen did not disappear as quickly as expected, but it became more severe.He covered his stomach, and his brows were tightly knit together.The pain seemed to spread from the abdomen to the whole body, and within a few minutes, fine beads of sweat oozed from his head.

He had a few pains a while ago, but he got better soon.This time he thought it would pass if he endured it, but he didn't expect the pain to become more and more unbearable.

Panting heavily, An Mu rang the bell with all his remaining strength...

When he woke up again, it was dark and he was alone in the ward.An Mu subconsciously put his hand on his stomach, the terrible pain was like a nightmare.

There was some noise outside the door, as if someone was talking.

He sat up from the bed, put on his shoes, slowly approached the door, and opened the door a little.

The voice suddenly became louder.

"His condition has deteriorated. According to this situation, there is still a month at most."

After a moment of silence, a woman's sobs were heard.

"If the child has any unfulfilled wishes, try to satisfy him, and let the child live happily this month."

"Is there really... no hope?"

"We can only try to alleviate his pain as much as possible, sorry..."

The later voice was covered by the gradually uncontrollable crying, and An Mu stood behind the door and listened to his mother's crying silently.

For some reason, he felt a sense of relief after hearing such a result.

There was another sound of footsteps outside the door, and then Father An's voice sounded: "The money I borrowed from my eldest sister has already been called, so you don't have to worry about the medical expenses anymore."

Mother An choked with sobs and said, "It's good to relieve the pain. No matter how much it costs, we must let my son continue to receive treatment."

An Mu was stunned upon hearing this.

Xiaoguai's family was originally well-off, but in just a few months they spent all their money for medical treatment.An Mu is too aware of his family's situation. Even if his parents didn't show him any melancholy because of the money, he is not a fool. The family may already be unable to make ends meet.

An's mother lowered her crying: "Don't tell my son about his condition, I want him to live happily through these days."

The mother's crying continued, An Mu gently closed the door, got on the bed softly, and lay down with his back to the door, as if nothing had happened.

About an hour later, An's mother entered the ward.Her eyes were still red, but seeing her son woke up, she couldn't care about anything.

An Mu approached, and asked in a gentle voice: "What do you want to eat tomorrow, mom will make it for you." She stroked An Mu's hair lovingly.

"I love everything you cook."

Mother An: "Then make your favorite little ravioli."

"it is good."

The mother and son looked at each other and smiled.

There was a moment of silence in the ward.

"Mom." An Mu called out, and An Mu looked at him, and he asked, "Is the family out of money?"

An's mother paused, and then her smile resumed, "I have money."

"If you spend all the money and my illness is not cured, what will you do in the future?" An Mu's speech speed suddenly picked up.

An alarm sounded in An Mu's heart. She was very afraid that her son had guessed something, but An Mu's eyes could not see any flaws, as if she just asked casually, and she was relieved a little.

"Silly boy, your parents should spend as much money as you deserve. Don't think about it, your illness will always get better."

An Mu moved his lips, but he didn't say anything in the end.Mom doesn't want him to know about it, so it's better to pretend not to know.

An Mu nodded, but did not speak.

Mother An tucked the quilt up for him, gave some gentle instructions, then turned and left.

An Mu's closed eyes slowly opened, staring at the ceiling silently.

The pain of advanced gastric cancer is incomprehensible to ordinary people.He also couldn't count how many nights he was tortured by the illness and couldn't sleep, and how many times he forced himself to swallow the food one mouthful at a time.But he knew that he was not living for him alone, his parents, Lin Jingjing and that group of friends were all looking forward to his recovery, and his hard work was also to give them hope.

And he himself has long been tired of this kind of life, and now, he is finally leaving...

It doesn't make any difference to him to live an extra day or a month.

But, he still has one last thing to do.

*
The time in the third year of high school was about to come to an end, Lin Jingjing happily chatted with An Mu about the school affairs.

"Look, this little badge was put on by Teacher Song herself!" Lin Jingjing moved the camera to the badge on her chest.The badge is in the shape of a smiling face, and the words "Title on the Gold List" are written on the bow below.

"We also ate watermelon today, which was delivered by Wang Jiong himself! It's so sweet, Luoluo and Tingting took a big piece, and the three of us were full in the end, hahaha."

"Actually, the third year of high school was pretty good. Although I was a little tired, it was very fulfilling. And I felt that all the teachers coaxed us like babies. You see, they didn't even care about our hairstyle."

An Mu had long noticed that she wore a ponytail today, revealing a smooth and full forehead.The hair that had just been grown was not long enough, and some broken hair was scattered on the sideburns and forehead, which added a bit of cuteness to her.

After the video, it was basically Lin Jingjing chattering non-stop, while An Mu listened quietly, making some expressions to respond from time to time.Finally, when it was time to hang up the video, An Mu reluctantly stared at the screen for a long time, reluctant to leave for a moment.

He wanted to take one more look, engrave her appearance deeply in his mind, and keep it in his heart.There will be no more chances in the future...

After a while, the two of them fell silent at the same time. Lin Jingjing said after deliberation: "Actually, there is one more thing to tell you. Starting tomorrow, we will be closed for training. Before the college entrance examination, I will not be able to call you."

An Mu gently pulled the corner of his lips.

That's good, he doesn't need to think of excuses to lie to her.

He smiled and said, "It's okay, the most important thing is that you prepare well for the college entrance examination."

Lin Jingjing blinked, "That's right, then I'll call you as soon as I leave the exam room, anyway you can't run away." She laughed.

An Mu's smile froze at the corner of his lips.

These words were like a needle that pierced into his heart unexpectedly.

"You must study hard these few days." An Mu paused, and after a short silence, he said slowly: "Come on for the college entrance examination."

"I wish you the title of the gold list, and a bright future."

His eyes were red, and the corners of his lips were pursed, trying to make himself look calmer.After a long silence, he said goodbye to her in a dry voice: "Jingjing... goodbye!"

Goodbye, I'm not just talking about this time, An Mu will completely disappear before your eyes in the future, I hope the rest of your life goes well...don't think of me again.

Before the words finished, he didn't dare to look at her more, and quickly hung up the video call.This goodbye seemed to drain all his strength in an instant, he couldn't control it anymore, tears fell silently on his slightly trembling wrist, and then slid down the arc of his wrist, caught by the night wind blowing in from the window Blow dry.

The tears were warm, but when the tear stain was drying, he felt unusually cold.

There seemed to be a sudden emptiness in the heart, which could not be filled, and it was throbbing with dull pain.

It turns out that this is how people feel extremely sad.

An Mu clenched the mango jelly in his hand, curled up trembling, and buried his head in his knees.

He remembered that during the spring outing that year, he hid aside and ate bread to save money, and he didn't even dare to accept snacks from his friends because he knew he had nothing to give in return.She handed over a crystal-clear mango jelly, and said to him with a bright smile: "Don't refuse, no one in this world can refuse mango jelly!"

The girl's smile was as warm as the sunshine on the beach that day.

He didn't like sweet things, but the mango jelly she handed over was really sweet, so sweet that he fell in love with the taste immediately.

Later, when changing seats, he could choose according to the priority. He overheard her saying that she liked the place in the south row near the window, so he silently chose the seat next to her.She seemed to be very happy too, and he wondered if she liked him too.

He shook his head, cursing himself inwardly.How is it possible, she is so good, how could she like him?
Until he was hospitalized, a person she liked so much was willing to travel thousands of miles for him, she hugged his neck tightly, crying and talking.He was held in her arms, and he was in a trance for a while.

So she likes him too, so she likes him too!
The ecstasy went to his head so suddenly that he forgot that he was a dying cancer patient.

What should he love her with?He couldn't even keep his own life.

An Mu laughed at himself, with tears running down his face. He raised his head, let out a deep breath, and tears fell down his face.

After an unknown amount of time, he got off the hospital bed and walked slowly to the window.

The ward was on the seventeenth floor, and at a glance, all the lights of the imperial capital were displayed in front of his eyes.

He had studied desperately, wanted to get into the imperial capital, and wanted to reunite with his parents, but he didn't expect that he would finally witness the prosperity of this city in this form.

At the end of his life, he was in the hospital, watching the feasting and feasting of the city through the window of the ward.

From now on, whether the world is silent or full of voices, it will no longer be related to him.

He spread his palms, his eyes fell on the jar of sleeping pills in his palm, and finally, he laughed silently, with a hint of relief.

It's just a pity that he can't see that little girl who likes mango jelly being named on the gold list, and he can't wait for that day anymore.

Then I wish you a bright future.

I don't know if heaven can choose the conditions of my next life. If I can, I hope I can have a healthy body and a fair starting point.

But I'm sorry, in this life, I can only accompany you here.
