Chapter 15

Late autumn night.

Walking out of Lingbo Gate of St. Elm Campus is a broad road.The street lights on both sides of the road have been lit, and there are many shops on the south side of the road, and the neon signs are shining colorfully in the night.

On the north side of the road is the East Lake.

The moonlight quietly shines on the rippling lake, and countless street lights sprinkle into the lake, like countless bright stars.

The night wind blows gently across the lake.

Qi Guoguo seemed to be immobilized by a powerful magic.

She stood by the East Lake for more than ten minutes without blinking.It wasn't until Cheng Yuan came over and patted her on the shoulder that she suddenly woke up "ah".

Qi Guoguo thought about many, many versions about how Yin Tangyao celebrated Xiaomi's birthday, but she never thought of such a scene——

candlelight.

Gently flickering candlelight.

Countless candles.

In summer, in order to facilitate the students of Shengyu to swim and enjoy the shade, stone slabs were originally built on the East Lake.A large square stone slab of more than ten square meters, with winding stone slabs extending around it like a small bridge on the lake.Candles were all lit on these stone slabs at the moment, and the soft candlelight shone brightly at night and on the surface of the lake.

The night wind is soft and gentle.

Candles flickered.

The dots of candlelight on the lake and the dots of stars in the night complement each other, coupled with the lights on the roadside, countless faint, bright, dim, and flickering lights shine from the water surface to the ground to the night sky.

There is a stone table on the stone platform.

There is a fresh fruit cake on the stone table.

There are several stone benches on the stone platform.

Surrounded by countless candlelights, Cheng Yuan walked over with Qi Guoguo who was still a little dazed.

Yin Tangyao has arrived.

In the night, he was wearing a white shirt, his hair had been dyed back to black at some point, because Xiaomi hadn't come yet, he looked a little lonely and silent, but his facial features were surprisingly handsome.

Qi Guoguo always felt that apart from his hair, Yin Tangyao had some other things that were very different from usual, but he couldn't tell the specifics, so he could only stare at him suspiciously.

Aunt Cheng is also here.

She was wearing thick clothes and sitting in a wheelchair with a kind and quiet expression. Pei You accompanied her by the wheelchair to take care of her, whispered to her, and asked her about her physical condition.Cheng Yuan was just listening.

The night is getting darker.

Xiaomi still didn't come.

On the stone platform flickering by candlelight.

Qi Guoguo felt a little embarrassed, really, what is Xiaomi doing.She looked at Yin Tangyao worriedly, afraid that he would be angry with Xiaomi.

However, the eyes.

Yin Tangyao just stood quietly by the stone platform on the lake. In the night, the white shirt on his body was like a fragile light.Not angry, not angry, he waited quietly for Xiaomi.

Music wafted from a shop across the road.

That song seemed to be a favorite of the owner of the store, and he sang it over and over again. In the silent night, the singing sound was so clear that it seemed to be right next to his ears.

"...

forget how long it is

never hear you again

tell me your favorite story
I thought about it for a long time

I'm starting to panic

did i do something wrong again

……

you cry to me

things in fairy tale are lies
I can not be your prince

......"

Yin Tangyao stood quietly, with his back to everyone, he stood quietly.The moonlight shone on his straight and lonely back. He seemed to have been waiting for a long time, because he had already waited for a long time, so he didn't care about waiting any longer.

I don't know when.

Yin Tangyao's back seemed to be touched by something. The moonlight shone lightly, and the candlelight flickered brightly. He turned to the direction of Lingbo Gate, looked there, and a smile as bright as starlight evoked on his lips.

Pei You also looked over.

At Lingbomen, a girl was wearing a long white dress, the corners of which fluttered slightly in the night wind.

There are vehicles passing by on the road.

The girl was standing by the side of the road, her short, fluffy hair was shining gently by the street lamps, her skin was thin, and her lips were thin.She looked towards the East Lake, and the bright and bright candlelight reflected her eyes brightly like stars.With the dancing corners of her pure white skirt, she is like a white elf in the night.

Music wafts from roadside shops.

"...

you cry to me

things in fairy tale are lies
I can not be your prince

……

maybe you don't understand
after you said you love me

My sky stars are bright

......"

"Millet--!"

Qi Guoguo jumped up excitedly and waved to her in the starry sky full of candlelight in East Lake.

Beautiful night.

The gentle wind blows across the lake, the bright moon shines in the night, countless candles are lit on the winding stone slabs.

Candles flickered gently.

"Happy birthday to you~~Happy birthday to you~~Happy birthday to you~~Happy birthday to you~~Happy birthday to you~~"

Qi Guoguo, Cheng Yuan and Pei You clapped and sang.

Yin Tangyao held the cake covered with birthday candles in front of Xiaomi. He didn't sing, but just stared at her deeply, the light of the candles shining in his eyes.

Aunt Cheng smiled in the wheelchair.

Xiaomi blew out the candle.

Everyone cheered, and Qi Guoguo couldn't wait to urge her to cut the cake quickly.Xiaomi cut the cake into pieces and distributed them to everyone. After tasting it, Qi Guoguo exclaimed that it was delicious, and then ate two more pieces before sitting down and sighing in satisfaction.

"Xiaomi, why are you here so late?" Qi Guoguo said curiously, "We have been waiting for you for more than half an hour!"

While continuing to cut the cake, Xiaomi's back suddenly stiffened upon hearing her words.

Pei You looked at Xiaomi.I couldn't see clearly in the candlelight, but I could vaguely see the tear stains in the corners of her eyes that hadn't been completely covered up.With a pain in his heart, he suddenly remembered that this should be the first birthday she spent alone after Xiao Yi left.

"This is the time I told her," Yin Tangyao walked over, put his arms around Xiaomi's shoulders, and said to everyone, "So she is actually very punctual."

Xiaomi was startled.

Yin Tangyao hugged her shoulders tightly, then let go of her, took the knife in her hand and cut the cake for her.

"Why?" Qi Guoguo opened his eyes wide, "Why did you make Xiaomi arrive so late?"

"..."

The cake-cutting knife froze in mid-air.

"Because this way Yao can have more time to prepare," Pei You laughed jokingly, "you don't know, Yao is very nervous about this birthday party. Although he has been preparing for a long time, he still worries that he won't have time to attend it himself. A candle was lit, so Xiaomi came later to avoid embarrassment."

Cheng Yuan looked at Pei You.

Pei You rubbed his nose, smiling very naturally.

"Oh!" Qi Guoguo exclaimed, "Yin Tangyao is really nice to Xiaomi!"

"Did you know?" Pei You smiled.

"Of course I already knew!" Qi Guoguo said unconvinced, "It's just... ah, yes! My God! The birthday present that Yin Tangyao prepared for Xiaomi must be very, very exciting! Isn't it?! "

Driven by the impetuous Qi Guoguo, the process of the birthday party soon came to the stage of giving gifts.Qi Guoguo was of course the first to give a birthday present. She gave Xiaomi a beautiful white silk scarf.

Cheng Yuan gave Xiaomi a pen.

Become an aunt...

Auntie Cheng actually took out a clay pot, which contained newly brewed rice wine, with a light sweet fragrance and strong alcohol smell.

Xiaomi stared at the rice wine in a daze.

Auntie Cheng is still in the hospital, her body is so weak, showing up here tonight already made her feel very uneasy, did Auntie Cheng actually make rice wine for her by herself? !

"Do you like it?" Aunt Cheng smiled and touched Xiaomi's short hair squatting in front of the wheelchair.

"I like it." Xiaomi nodded.

Auntie Cheng's hands were weak and trembling, but her smile was as loving as a mother's: "When you're hungry, break an egg into a bowl, break it up, put some rice wine in it, and pour hot water into it, it's you I like egg flower rice wine."

Xiaomi bit her lip, her eyes were a little hot.

"After eating, remember to tell auntie that auntie will make you a new can, okay?" Auntie Cheng's voice was a little low, her eyes were on the millet, and on the lake at night, she gently stroked the little millet in front of the wheelchair. Fluffy short hair.

"it is good."

Xiaomi took a breath and smiled happily.Well, she wants everyone to have a good time tonight.

Candlelight flickered on the water surface of East Lake.

The night wind blows.

Pei You rubbed his nose, smiled awkwardly, and said to Xiaomi apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot to buy you a gift..."

Qi Guoguo stared at him with wide eyes: "What?!"

Xiaomi was also taken aback, and then laughed. Unexpectedly, he, who is always careful, would sometimes forget things.Seeing his embarrassed look, she hurriedly shook her head with a smile and said:
"it's okay."

"Hey! This is not like your style!" Qi Guoguo shouted in confusion, "No matter how small and trivial things were before, you would not even remember whether millet ate chili or Chinese prickly ash. How could it be..."

Pei You apologized again and again, he stared at Xiaomi in the white dress in the candlelight, she was smiling, her eyes were bent like the moon.He lowered his head with a faint smile, no one could see the look in his eyes.

Cheng Yuan didn't see it either.

So she felt more curious and stared at him for a long time.

Starry night.

The surface of the lake was gently rippled by the night wind, candlelight swayed on the water waves, a little bit of candlelight, a little bit of starlight, and the light of street lamps reflected into the water, bright and bright like countless shining gems.

"Yin Tangyao!"

"Yin Tangyao!!"

On the stone platform lit by candlelight, Qi Guoguo clapped her hands excitedly and shouted, finally it was time for the most touching hero to make his grand entrance, wow, what surprises will there be? !
Faint moonlight.

In the moonlight, Yin Tangyao's white shirt seemed to have a lonely light.Hearing Qi Guoguo's shout, he turned to look at Xiaomi beside him.

Xiaomi just turned to look at him at this moment.

then--

His and her eyes met in the night wind on the lake in late autumn.

Yin Tangyao in a white shirt, Xiaomi in a white skirt, he looked at her, she looked at him, the East Lake water flickering with candlelight, such a beautiful picture, as if all the stars in the night sky were shining beside the two of them.

And Yin Tangyao also has a star in his palm.

Little stars, small, bright, shining in the palm of his hand.

He stared deeply at Xiaomi.

Put that little star in front of her eye.

There are countless stars in the night.

The stars twinkle and twinkle.

The star in his palm shone with moving light, twinkling and shining brightly into her eyes.She raised her head in a daze, and the diamond on his nose was gone, leaving only a thin mark.The little diamond was in his palm, set in the little ring.

Pei You recognized the diamond.

Yao likes it very much and thinks it is very beautiful, so he made it into a nose stud.In his words, so that you can see as long as you lower your eyes.

Yao told him the story about diamonds.

It was a few years ago when he came across a tiny diamond ring.His mother told him that it was the first gift her father gave her when they were in love, and that he replaced it with a larger diamond when they got married.His mother gave him the diamond ring, but it was too small to fit, so he took off the diamonds and made them into nose studs.

Many people ridiculed him for being too arrogant and unruly with diamonds on his nose.

No one knew that Yao really liked that diamond.

The diamonds shone on the small ring, reflecting the candlelight and the stars, that small light made Xiaomi's heart tightly curl up into a ball.

Yin Tangyao stared at her.

His voice was very low, but with the gentle night wind, it floated into the ears of everyone on the candlelight stone platform——

"will you marry me?"

he said to her.

On a quiet night, the world is so bright, there are countless stars in the night, countless candles are lit on the lake, vehicles are passing by on the road, and the neon lights are colorful.

Qi Guoguo covered her mouth in shock.

Pei You smiled faintly, and he turned his head sideways, looking at the waves rippling in the middle of the lake.

Cheng Yuan glanced at Yin Tangyao, Xiaomi who was standing in a daze, and Pei You with a faint smile on her lips, she lowered her eyes.

Auntie Cheng was sitting in a wheelchair, and the starlight in the sky reflected her body as if it were transparent.

The East Lake is rippling with stars and candles.

Quiet waves.

Rippled layer by layer.

Xiaomi stared blankly at Yin Tangyao who was standing in front of her, with thin lips and white skirt fluttering gently, like white petals being knocked down by the drizzle.

A diamond ring shines between her and him.

"will you marry me?"

Yin Tangyao stared at her and asked again.

She was stunned, unable to make any sound from her throat.

The night was silent.

The water in the East Lake ripples gently.

There were hot flames in Yin Tangyao's eyes, and he stared at her closely.And she didn't answer for a long time, which made his fingers slowly become cold.

There was a pain in my heart.

The blood faded from his lips.

He just wanted to keep her, even if she didn't have him in her heart, as long as she was by his side, it would be fine.

Silent night.

Helplessness and panic flashed in her eyes: "...why?"

Yin Tangyao smiled faintly, his lips were a little pale: "Because——that way I will feel very happy." She once said that as long as he is happy, as long as he feels happy, she will do anything.Now, will she still remember this sentence?
Xiaomi looked at him.

Her gaze seemed to penetrate his body, as if looking at someone who did not exist, there was a kind of trance in her eyes, this gaze made Yin Tangyao's heart throbbing.

half an hour.

"Will you... be happy?"

she asked softly.

Yin Tangyao's lips were lavender, but his back was extremely straight: "Yes, I will be very happy."

The song on the other side of the road keeps repeating...

"...

you cry to me

things in fairy tale are lies
I can not be your prince

maybe you don't understand
after you said you love me

My sky stars are bright

……

我 愿 变成 童话 里

the angel you love

stretch out arms, turn into wings to protect you

You have to believe
Believe we will be like in a fairy tale

Happiness and joy are the end
......"

Xiaomi looked at him, a quiet smile stained her lips, and the bottom of her eyes glowed softly like stars, she said softly——

"it is good."

Qi Guoguo gasped in shock!
Cheng Yuan was also stunned.

The candlelight on the stone platform on the lake swayed in the night wind.

Yin Tangyao hugged her tightly, his hot breath was in her ear, he hugged her so tightly, his arms seemed to hug her blood through her bones.

He hugged her tightly.

His mind was blank, ecstasy made him breathless, ignoring the severe pain in his heart, he hugged her tightly and leaned against her ear, his voice was hot and scorching:
"Do you know what you promised?"

She was in his arms, closing her eyes:

"Yes."

"Do you know who I am?" Yin Tangyao hugged her tightly with both arms, his lips were purple and white, his body trembled a little due to the severe pain, but his face was suffocatingly handsome.

"Yes."

"Call my name..."

"Yin Tangyao..."

"Call again..."

"Yin Tangyao..."

Tears trickled down Xiaomi's cheeks.Yes, it's Yin Tangyao, she is willing to make him happy, she is willing to make him happy, she is willing to do everything that can make him happy.

Heart twisting and tearing pain!

Yin Tangyao inhaled lightly.

He let her go and stared at her.In the starry sky, he gently took her hand and put the ring on her finger. The small diamonds shone brightly between her slender fingers.

The night wind blows softly across the lake.

On the stone platform flickering by candlelight.

Qi Guoguo was fascinated by the sight, and his heart was moved sourly and sweetly by the two people in front of him.Aunt Cheng smiled lovingly in the wheelchair.Cheng Yuan quietly looked at Pei You who was smiling a little lonely beside her.

Xiaomi suddenly froze again.

She stared blankly at Yin Tangyao's palm, where a small and delicate thing magically conjured up, she held her breath, and her eyes were filled with moisture.

"Help me put it on."

Yin Tangyao stared at her with deep purple lips and said.

Xiaomi's eyelashes trembled, he gently picked it up from his palm, gently raised his hand, and put it on his nose, so the place where a diamond was originally worn was replaced with it.

The moonlight shed quietly.

Tiny angels on his nose.

The angel's wings shone with silvery soft light, flying over Yin Tangyao's nose, and his eyes also shone brightly. He was wearing a white shirt, and in a trance, it seemed that a pair of wings slowly flew out from his back.

Her fingers were dazed on his face.

The radiance of the diamond between her fingers and the radiance of the angel on his nose shone together.The endless starlight in the night, the flickering candlelight on the lake.That night, the light lit up the world.

That night.

Pei You looked up at the stars in the night, and the starlight also shone on his white shirt. He didn't look at Yao and Xiaomi again, and the smile on his lips seemed to become more and more lonely.

but--

Because I didn't see it again——

He didn't notice that Yao's lips gradually became terribly purple, nor did he notice that Yao's face gradually paled and became as transparent as angel's wings, and he didn't notice that Yao's hands hugged Xiaomi, and his nails were so purple and white that they seemed to bleed.

When Qi Guoguo's scream sounded in horror.

Pei You turned around——

Yin Tangyao fainted on the stone platform with a pale face, the surrounding candles were largely extinguished by the sound of the wind, and Xiaomi rushed to hug him.

And when Pei You rushed to his side.

Yin Tangyao was lying in Xiaomi's arms, his heartbeat had stopped, quietly, there was no heartbeat at all, only the angel was still shining softly on his nose.

In the shop by the road, I didn't know what happened, and I was still singing that song over and over again——

"...

forget how long it is

never hear you again

tell me your favorite story
I thought about it for a long time

I'm starting to panic

did i do something wrong again

you cry to me

things in fairy tale are lies
I can not be your prince

……

maybe you don't understand
after you said you love me

My sky stars are bright

……

我 愿 变成 童话 里

the angel you love

stretch out arms, turn into wings to protect you

You have to believe
Believe we will be like in a fairy tale

Happiness and joy are the end
......"

*** ***
Charity Hospital late at night.

The ambulance drove in with a sharp roar, the warning lights flashed rapidly and blindingly, the doctors and nurses rushed over from the gate, the back door of the ambulance opened, and the stretcher was sent out!
The flustered night.

"Get out of the way—!"

The wheels of the stretcher bed rolled quickly on the ground, and the doctors anxiously pushed the bed while inspecting the patient's pale and purple face. Dazzling lights, messy breathing, frightened heartbeat.

Yin Tangyao lay quietly.

His eyes were closed, his face was pale, his lips were purple, and a pale and purple right hand fell from the bed frame...

The doctors ran nervously and shouted——

"Get out of the way—!!"

"Get out of the way—!"

People in the corridor dodge one after another.

The doors to the emergency room were already wide open.

Doctors, nurses and stretchers rushed in!
"boom--"

The door slammed shut again!
Qi Guoguo stood dumbfounded outside the emergency room. She was completely stunned. She never thought that life could be so fragile.It seemed that just a quarter of an hour ago, the picture of Yin Tangyao and Xiaomi was so romantic that it made her feel sour and sweet, but in the blink of an eye, Yin Tangyao's heart stopped beating and he was sent to the hospital.

On the way to the hospital in the ambulance.Pei You and the emergency doctor worked hard to press Yin Tangyao's heart, give him artificial respiration, and inject him with injections.And Yin Tangyao lay quietly, as if he was already dead.

There is no heartbeat.

is not it……

Already dead?

Qi Guoguo trembled in panic, she looked at Xiaomi tremblingly.

The red light above the emergency room door was on.

The dim red light shone on Xiaomi's pale face.She was also trembling, as if she wanted to rush into the emergency room, but she didn't seem to dare, she just put her arms around her shoulders, shaking intermittently.Under the red light in the emergency room, her face was reflected even paler than Yin Tangyao on the hospital bed, her lips were pale and trembling.Slowly, her legs trembled as if she couldn't stand anymore. Leaning against the door of the emergency room, she slid down slowly, with her arms wrapped around her shoulders and she slid down shyly, trembling constantly, shrinking into a small lump.

"Millet……"

Qi Guoguo called her hesitantly, not knowing how to comfort her.

The hallway was quiet.

A dead silence.

A suffocating silence.

Through the glass window of the emergency room, the ECG monitor could be seen beeping, and a straight line without change was drawn on the screen.

Pei You leaned over with a pale face.

In the hospital bed, Yin Tangyao's eyes were closed tightly, his lips were frighteningly purple, his hands were hanging loosely, there was no sign of life, only the angel on the wing of his nose gleamed softly.

The doctor picked up the shock pads.

"boom--!"

Yin Tangyao's body bounced high.

"Increase the current!" The doctor shouted anxiously.

"boom----!!"

Yin Tangyao's body bounced high again, and then fell down weakly.

"Increase the current!"

"boom------!!!"

Like a soft puppet, Yin Tangyao's body was sucked up high, and then fell back weakly.The electrocardiogram instrument screamed "beep--", a straight line, a straight line without any heartbeat...

First aid outdoors.

Qi Guoguo covered her mouth with all her strength, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak, she couldn't comfort Xiaomi, she couldn't say a word.

Xiaomi shivered, and she hugged herself tightly, as if she had suddenly fallen into an empty world, where there was nothing, everything disappeared, a pale and dizzy world, a world where the dead would never wake up again.She kept trembling, her face was dull, her lips were pale and pale, as if at the moment Yin Tangyao's heart stopped beating, she also died together.

Suddenly, there were chaotic footsteps at the end of the corridor of the hospital.

Those footsteps came rushing, and under the glare of the light, a woman staggered over, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were wide open in a panic, and there were red tears from crying at the corners of her eyes.Yet even though fear had taken hold of her, she still looked as beautiful as if she had been enveloped in a thin layer of smoke.

Looking at the red lights in the emergency room.

Tears flowed down from the woman's eyes, she restrained herself from losing her senses, clenched her hands, her body trembled slightly.

Behind the woman was a tall man with silky hair on his sideburns.He put his hand on her trembling shoulder, held her tightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry, Yao is fine."

The emergency room door opened.

Pei You walked out with a pale face.

Qi Guoguo, the woman and the man looked at him, the atmosphere was strangely dead silent, the three of them looked at him in horror, none of them dared to speak.There is a kind of fear, as if with a slight touch, the world will completely collapse.

"The heartbeat has returned."

Pei You said hoarsely, even though he tried his best to calm down, he was still trapped in the fear just now and couldn't be completely calm.

The woman's body swayed.

Pei You quickly supported her: "Aunt Yin..."

Yin Zhaoman took a deep breath, his body relaxed, but he trembled more violently, fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.Pei Zhenhua gently hugged her shoulders and helped her sit on the bench in the corridor.

then.

Pei You turned around.

He looked at Xiaomi curled up in the corner.

She was like a lost child, immersed in an empty world, pale, hugging her shoulders, trembling unconsciously, unable to feel everything around her anymore.The air around her also seemed pale and trembling.When Pei You approached her, she suddenly raised her head and stared at him, with a kind of desperate despair in her eyes, like some kind of dying animal would pounce on his throat.

Pei You squatted down.

He hugged her gently.

She struggled in horror, as if his embrace conveyed a dangerous breath.Pei You hugged her gently, telling her not to be afraid, everything is fine, Yao is not dead, he is still alive.

*** ***
Only one small light was on in the intensive care unit.

Yin Tangyao lay pale on the bed, unconsciously moving his fingers lightly.The dark night diffused in through the curtains, and zigzag lines were drawn on the ECG monitoring screen, beeping rhythmically.

Xiaomi stared blankly at him.

She wanted to get a closer look at him, but, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare, all the strength in her body was exhausted, and she couldn't even lift her little finger.

Dean Ren adjusted the infusion speed of the hanging bottle, and said in a low voice: "He has been injected with an injection, and he will not wake up until noon tomorrow. And we have special nurses to take care of him, you all go back and rest."

Yin Zhaoman sat by the hospital bed.

She looked at her unconscious son for a long time, and gently adjusted the quilt for him, without looking back, she said, "Go, I'll stay."

"I'll accompany you."

Pei Zhenhua said with concern.

"No," Yin Zhaoman's voice was very calm, "he is my son, please leave, I want to be alone with him."

A gloomy look flashed in Pei Zhenhua's eyes. He looked at Yin Zhaoman's back, and after a while, he left silently.Then, Dean Ren and Qi Guoguo also left.Pei You patted Xiaomi on the shoulder, Xiaomi stared blankly at Yin Tangyao on the hospital bed, and finally turned around and walked out of the ward with him.

Quiet hallway.

White incandescent lamps shone on the snow-white walls.

Benches by the hallway.

Xiaomi sat silently, her back straight and motionless, like a stiff puppet.Pei You sat beside her, and put a cup of warm soybean milk into her palm.Her fingers trembled, and she hugged the soybean milk unconsciously with both hands, but she didn't drink it, she just hugged it.The faint aroma of soy milk wafted into the air through the straw, and the tiny diamonds twinkled between her fingers.

She did not speak.

He didn't speak either.

The two sat quietly on a bench in the hospital corridor.

After a long time.

The soy milk has cooled down.

Pei You bought another cup of warm soybean milk and put it in her hand.

The two still did not speak.

The dazzling incandescent lamp quietly elongated his and her shadows on the marble floor.

night, very deep.

A faint light shines through the crack of the ground door of the intensive care unit.

On the bench in the corridor, Pei You and Xiaomi sat silently until footsteps came to him and her and stopped.

"What? Haven't you gone back yet?"

Dean Ren looked at the two of them and said in surprise.

Pei You raised his head, stood up, and explained with a light smile: "It's already so late, and I won't be able to sleep when I go back, so it's better to stay here to feel more comfortable."

Dean Ren knew about the friendship between Pei You and Yin Tangyao since childhood, so he nodded with a sigh and did not persuade him to leave.

"Dean..."

"Ok?"

"I have a question..." Pei You frowned and said hesitantly.

"You said."

Pei You looked at Xiaomi on the bench, she sat silently, like a doll that had lost its soul.He couldn't help but hesitated again, but this terrible thought had been haunting his mind for a while, like a dark cloud that he couldn't let go of.

Finally, he still asked out——

"Yao's heart replacement surgery..."

As if something was touched, Xiaomi's eyelashes trembled slightly, she raised her eyes and looked at Pei You blankly.

A strange expression flashed across Dean Ren's face.

Pei You noticed, he was shocked, and was about to continue asking, when the door of the ICU opened.

Yin Zhaoman came out.

There was no expression on her beautiful face, a black dress made her look calm and composed, and the slight tears under the corners of her eyes seemed to be just an illusion.She stared at Xiaomi on the bench, it seemed that only Xiaomi was in her pupils, and everyone else was completely absent.

Straightforwardly.

She walked over to Xiaomi.

Xiaomi stood up.

Yin Zhaoman stood in front of Xiaomi and stared at her with hatred, cold hatred in his eyes.

"You go."

Her voice was calm and unwavering.

"From now on, don't appear in front of Yao again."

Xiaomi was stunned and stared blankly at her.

"Otherwise, you must let Yao die in front of you, are you willing?" Yin Zhaoman took a deep breath, but there was already a trace of instability in his voice.

"I..." Xiaomi's lips trembled.

"It's all because of you that he got sick these few times, isn't it?" Yin Zhaoman clenched her hands tightly, trying to control the unstable voice, but she didn't know that her own lips were also being affected like millet. Controlled shaking.

Xiaomi was stiff all over.

Painful blood flowed from the black hole in her heart, screaming and tearing, trying to swallow her into the endless abyss.

"……Yes……"

She answered softly.

"Millet……"

Pei You cried out heartbroken.

Dean Ren shook his head and sighed deeply.

Yin Zhaoman's pupils tightened, and the hatred on his beautiful face became stronger and stronger: "In this case..."

"Will he stop being sick as long as I leave?"

There was no trace of blood on her pale face, Xiaomi looked at her, her eyes were dark and dark, her eyelashes trembling slightly, she said softly.

"If I leave, he won't get sick again, and he will live a good life... Then... I will leave, and I will never appear in front of him again. I will leave St. Elm, leave this city, and I will go far away. You can even ask me to die..."

The desperate and fanatical expression on her face suddenly startled Yin Zhaoman.

Pei You turned his head slightly so he couldn't look at her.

"is it okay?"

Xiaomi stared blankly at Dean Ren.

"Will he be fine as long as I go?"

She was like a child desperately trying to grasp the last straw, her face was pale, but her eyes were surprisingly bright and stared at Dean Ren.

"Is that right?"

Incandescent lamps shone palely in the hospital corridors.

long hallway.

Empty with no other people.

Dean Ren frowned tightly, and he slowly shook his head, a sense of powerless frustration made him look much older.

Xiaomi looked at him in horror, and fear took her breath away: "Why not? Why are you shaking your head? If I leave, he will no longer be sad or happy, isn't that okay?!"

Pei You also looked at Dean Ren in astonishment.

Yin Zhaoman's face was pale, and his hands became cold.

Dean Ren shook his head again, his helpless voice was full of deep regret and regret: "I'm sorry..."

"Didn't you have a heart transplant?" Xiaomi asked in surprise, his body trembling, "Yi's heart is healthy, there is nothing wrong with his heart, he is healthy!"

Dean Ren looked at Yin Zhaoman, but did not answer.

"He hasn't had a heart transplant, has he?"

Pei You looked closely at Dean Ren and said.

There seemed to be a silent thunder in the silent corridor.

"Is it—there's no heart transplant operation at all?"

deep night.

Dean Ren suddenly sighed and looked at Yin Zhaoman.Yin Zhaoman's face was as white as snow, as if something had knocked her down heavily, a kind of sadness and pain seeped out of her body.

Pei You was startled:

"Is it true?...Yao never had any heart transplant surgery at all, so there is only the simplest description of the operation, but the medical records, materials and specific records of the operation process cannot be found. All the doctors who 'participated' in the operation They all kept secret...Because they have never had a heart transplant operation, Yao has never had any rejection..."

He should have been suspicious long ago.

How can there be someone who has undergone such a major operation as a heart transplant, but has no rejection at all, and adapts well as if it was his own heart in the first place.Ever since Yao asked him to find out if the heart donor was Xiao Yi, the suspicion had grown deeper and deeper. He was unable to find any records and information about that operation!

However, after the heart transplant operation a year ago, Yao's condition did improve, and he seldom got sick again. However, he was about to graduate from his undergraduate degree at that time, and he never thought that there would be any problems in this operation.He just kept optimistic that since there was no rejection and the heart was healthy, Yao could already live like a normal person.

Yin Zhaoman closed her eyes, her face was snow-white, and the unbearable pain made her tremble slightly.But she tried her best to restrain herself, a faint smile gradually stained the corners of her beautiful lips, as calm as if nothing had happened.

"Dean Ren...can't keep the secret...right..."

Pei You supported Yin Zhaoman's shoulders, feeling a damp and icy tremor coming from her body, and that chill made him tremble slightly.

The corridor of Mercy Hospital.

There was faint light in the floor of the intensive care unit, the quiet benches, and the dazzling lights.

Bright as day...

Xiaomi stood blankly, under the pale light, she stood blankly like sleepwalking, her eardrums hummed softly, her spine seemed to be lightly pricked by countless needles, numb and tingling .

She suddenly couldn't understand what they were saying.

You can only see the expressions of horror or pain or sadness on their faces, and you can only see their lips moving.There was a faint white mist in the air, everything seemed fake, like a puppet show, it was fake, it was all fake.

Silence bright as day...

There was no sound, just like that day, the golden sun, the golden leaves, the golden broken glass, and the blood flowing everywhere, he lay in her arms like an angel and fell asleep peacefully...

*** ***
late at night.

The large table in the dean's room is full of tall medical records, black and white film clipped on the bright light board, all of which are X-rays of the same heart from different angles.Yin Zhaoman sat on the sofa, her beautiful face showed no fragile expression, only her lips were slightly pale.

Pei You stood, staring blankly at the heart film on the light board, and gradually clenched his fingers:

"Is this Yao's?"

Dean Ren sat tiredly in the leather chair behind the desk, rubbed his eyebrows, and said in a low voice:
"Yes."

"Why is this happening?" Pei You asked in a low voice.

Dean Ren sighed: "Xiao Yao is a congenital heart disease. I tried to install a pacemaker for him, but his condition was more complicated and difficult than we imagined. At that time, even the best pacemaker abroad could not be used. His internal device. Almost all cardiac surgery experts in the country have diagnosed his condition, but there is nothing to do."

"Then why did you lie to Yao that you had a heart transplant?"

"Actually, his physical condition was extremely poor at the time, and he was not suitable for a heart transplant. The success rate was almost zero, and even so, we could not find a suitable heart transplant for him." Dean Ren stood up and walked to the lamp on the wall. In front of the board, the pen in his hand pointed to the heart, "But you see, the disease has been seriously damaged here. From a medical point of view, his survival time is already very short."

Pei You was startled.

Xiaomi stood by the door blankly, like an empty wandering soul.She was not breathing, her heart was not beating, her eardrums were buzzing endlessly, and the blood in her body was flowing very slowly, as if she didn't know where to go.

Yin Zhaoman stared blankly at the heart X-ray on the light board.

"However, the most serious thing at that time was not Xiao Yao's illness, but that he himself had completely given up hope." Dean Ren glanced at Yin Zhaoman, couldn't help but frowned and sighed, "He knew he was going to die soon. So he didn't care about anything, and he was extremely self-defeating. He kept making troubles in school, fighting, and being unrestrained, and his condition also worsened dramatically..."

Yin Zhaoman's lips were pale and bleeding.

"In the end we could only come up with this method." Dean Ren smiled wryly and shook his head. "We did an operation on him. There is no way to do a fundamental operation, but there are still some ways to make the situation better. Fortunately, , the operation was very successful. So we told Xiaoyao that it was a heart replacement operation, and the replacement was a very healthy heart, and it adapted well without any rejection, so his illness will not be too serious If the problem is solved, you can live a healthy life like a normal person.”

"No, this is a lie I insisted on telling you." With a quiet voice, Yin Zhaoman straightened his back, "I said, this is my insistence and has nothing to do with you."

"But," Pei You said sadly, "it will be misleading..."

"How long can he live?" Yin Zhaoman smiled lightly, "Since he was a child, he has lived under the shadow of congenital heart disease. He can't play or do anything. Other children He can go to the amusement park to ride the roller coaster, but he can only bask in the sun on the lawn of the hospital. Even if he deceives him, I want him to believe that he has recovered, can live a normal life, and can fall in love like boys of the same age Associating with the girl he likes, he can feel that he has a lot of futures to plan for..."

"If Xiaoyao regains her will to survive and stops giving up on herself, now that medical science is developing so fast, maybe she can wait until the day when there is hope." Dean Ren said.This is also the reason why he would agree to Yin Zhaoman to act in this play.

Outside the shutters was pitch black night.

The black and white film of the heart on the light board reveals a cold light.

Pei You couldn't speak anymore.

His slender body stood limply, his elegant lips gradually turned pale, and his eyes gradually dimmed.It turned out that what he thought about Yao's complete recovery was just a lie, a lie that stunned him but could not be refuted by a word.

A pain in my heart.

He suddenly looked at Xiaomi by the door.

She was stunned, like a rag doll who couldn't understand or understand everything that happened, her posture and expression were exactly the same empty as when she was in the corridor just now.With a long white dress and short fluffy hair, she is like a rag doll whose soul has been sucked out, her eyes are empty and dull, she stands blankly, but no one will notice her existence.

Following Pei You's gaze, Yin Zhaoman also saw Xiaomi. The moment he saw her, hatred condensed in his eyes:
"You haven't left yet?!"

Xiaomi was immersed in her own world blankly, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Dean Ren said: "Zhao Man, calm down. The effect of Xiao Yao's operation can last for such a long time. Maybe it has something to do with her appearance. Even without her, Xiao Yao's heart will still..."

"No." Yin Zhaoman interrupted him, took a deep breath and said, "Without her, Yao wouldn't be in so much pain, and these few attacks are all due to her!"

quietly.

Xiaomi's empty eyeballs moved.

Then, it stopped again.

Yin Zhaoman stood up, walked in front of her, stared at her coldly, her beautiful neck was as haughty as a queen:
"Please leave." Don't appear in Yao's life again.

Even if Yao will die, she wants his last days to be peaceful and peaceful.For Yao, she tried to accept this girl.But since then, she has found that Yao is more of pain, a pain that seems so fragile that he will die.She wants to protect Yao, even if she has to use her nails and teeth, even if she wants to become a shrew, she still wants to protect him from pain.

Xiaomi stared blankly at her.

Her distraught appearance made Pei You's heart twist.He came over, gently held Xiaomi's shoulders, and whispered, "Let's go out first..."

Xiaomi didn't move.

In a daze, her eyes left Yin Zhaoman, and in a daze, her eyes fell on Dean Ren's face blankly.Her throat moved, as if she was saying something, but her voice was surprisingly hoarse and indifferent, only Pei You who was closest to her heard it.

"……where?"

Dean Ren didn't hear it, and asked suspiciously, "What?"

Xiaomi's face was pale, and her lips trembled slightly: "...Where is it?..."

"Where is what?" Dean Ren frowned.

"... Where is the heart...?" she asked in a trance, with a terrible light in her eyes, she looked straight at Dean Ren, her voice was as soft as a whisper, "...then...you take Yi's heart... Where did you put it..."

Dean Ren was stunned.

Yin Zhaoman was also stunned. She stared at Xiaomi with an expression of disbelief in her eyes.

Xiaomi looked directly at Dean Ren, whispered tremblingly, "...so... where did you put Yi's heart... is it... because it's useless... so... you put it Throw away..."

"Millet!"

Pei You held her shoulder tightly, trying to shake her awake.

"...Where did you throw Yi's heart...tell me...please...tell me, okay..." Tears streamed down Xiaomi's cheeks in a daze, she grabbed Dean Ren's clothes, dazed "...did you throw away Xia's heart...if you don't use it...why don't you put it back...there's a hole in the body...empty...it's going to be cold...you know... ..."

Dean Ren was stunned by her question.

"Is that heart the only thing you care about?!"

Yin Zhaoman was so angry that he swung his right hand and was about to throw it at Xiaomi's face!

"Aunt Yin!"

Pei You shouted, holding Yin Zhaoman's hand.

"What are you doing?!" Yin Zhaoman's heart ached beyond control. Seeing that the person blocking her was her son's best friend, she couldn't help but angrily said, "Yao's illness is so serious, but she keeps saying that she only cares about that heart! You Are you still protecting her?!"

"Sorry……"

Pei You bowed his head apologetically.

Yin Zhaoman looked at him, then at her, with a self-deprecating sneer on his lips, and finally slowly withdrew his hand, turned and left the dean's room.

Xiaomi didn't know what happened.

Tears rolled quietly down her cheeks, she looked at Dean Ren, her body was empty, as if there was nothing left, empty, so cold.If it would be so cold and empty just by crying, then when she saw him, he was lying in the freezer, with white cold smoke and a black hole in his chest.He just fell asleep like that, is it colder, colder.

Pei You hugged her shoulders.

And her tears flowed down his chest.

She was crying, crying, crying like a child who was overwhelmed, she began to cry bitterly, crying loudly, as if as long as she cried hard, she could stop believing, die, and never wake up again.

She cried and looked up at him.

Tears shone like stars on her cheeks.

She looked at him in tears...

Suddenly, she was stunned, looking at him bewilderedly, gently raised her hand, and gently touched his face, like touching a fragile dream.She suddenly laughed, hugged him, and hugged him tightly, crying and laughing, crying and laughing:
"Oh my God—! It was just a dream! So you're alright! Alright! You won't leave me, you said you wouldn't leave me! I know you won't lie to me! Isn't it?! God , so you're fine..."

Pei You hugged her tightly in pain.

Starry tears.

There were also little stars on her fingers touching his cheek.

Holding his face, she cried and laughed:
"I was wrong, next, I swear that I will never speak loudly to you again, never be cruel to you again, never eat jelly again, I will make longevity noodles for you, I will study hard, I will exercise hard, and I will never If I don’t sleep late, I won’t be angry with my father anymore. I will be a good girl obediently, and I will listen to whatever you say!…OK?…Please, please don’t let me have terrible dreams again… "

"it is good."

Pei You hugged her tightly, heartbroken.At this moment, he suddenly wished he could become Yi, as long as she was well, as long as she didn't cry, as long as she could be happy.

It was really just a dream...

Xiaomi smiled happily.

She smiled at him, her smile was so bright and full of tears, she smiled like an angel, a pure white and perfect angel.

Then--

She fell back softly, fell into his arms, and passed out.

The shutters of the superintendent's room revealed the darkness of the night.

Pei You quietly hugged her tightly in his arms.Just sleep like this, don't think about anything, just sleep peacefully like this.He stroked her short fluffy hair silently, his heart throbbing, he hugged her horizontally, ready to leave.

Turning around, he saw Dean Ren who was completely stunned.

"Dean..."

"Ok?"

"Where is that heart?" His eyes were sad.Generally speaking, it is very rare for a hospital to encounter a car accident involving a volunteer who promised to donate organs. If the victim’s heart is in good condition, they are unlikely to discard it.

Dean Ren watched him.

Pei You said quietly: "Please tell me, because the donor is my younger brother."
