I was silent.
I don't want Sister Guo Qing to leave, I want to protect her, I want to send her to college. But can I protect her? Seems not! Me, Me... It was really difficult!
"When Sister Qing left home to look for your brother, she personally promised her aunt that she wouldn't be harmed in your family. If she was hurt, she would definitely listen to her aunt and return home." Seeing my silence, the handsome young man smiled and took two steps towards me. He said to me in a refined manner, "Obviously, you two brothers are useless. Otherwise, Sister Qing wouldn't be lying on the hospital bed right now. So, Sister Qing must come with us! "
Clang!
A heavy hammer hit my weak spot! My heart ached. I don't know if my face has changed, but I feel like I'm about to lose my footing. I swayed a few times and forcefully suppressed myself. Finally, I stabilized my mind.
When I looked again, Sister Guo Qing's beautiful mother was still as calm as ever, without any visible psychological changes; Secretary Yi, Director Luo, and Chief Cheng were just like that, standing there without moving, their faces calm, unable to see their state of mind; the lean man who had retreated to the door was a little surprised by my calmness, but neither Wen Qi nor the beautiful young woman who called Guo Qing's "sister" said anything; this handsome young man was still smiling, still being polite, but I think there were a few hints of pride in his eyes; Zhu Tong, Yi Jing, and Ni Er's expressions had all changed. Sister Guo Qing, who was sitting on the bed, finally raised her head and looked at me deeply, as if she wanted to say something. In the end, she didn't say anything, but lowered her head and started crying again.
I swept a glance at the crowd, and then bitterly smiled. I stared at Zhu Dantong and Ronnie once more, and then deeply looked at Sister Guo Qing. In the end, I made up my mind, and calmly said to Sister Guo Qing's beautiful mother: "Fine, I agree to let you take her away!"
The mother remained calm; the handsome young man smiled even more pleasantly; Zhu Danton and Ronnie looked at each other and said nothing; Sister Guo Qing, who was sitting on the sickbed, looked up at me in surprise, as if my face explained everything, and finally said nothing. She nodded and lowered her head.
I did some mental calculations and finally, I slowly took out the remaining twenty-seven thousand yuan from my pocket. I slowly walked to the bedside and handed the money to Guo Qing, saying solemnly, "This is for you to read!"
"Just these few coins?" "More to the point …" When the handsome young man saw me take out the money, he burst out laughing; but before he could finish, he seemed to be stopped by something, and that was all. Sister Guo Qing seemed to know that my money was hard to come by, so she wanted to turn it down. I gently pressed the hand she pushed over and calmly said, "Sister Guo, you should know how the money came to be! Take it! " Sister Guo Qing clearly understood the meaning behind my words: This money, is practically my father's and my brother's life's worth of money, how can the weight of this money be ordinary?
Seeing Guo Qing's serious look as she took the money, I smiled. This time, I'm sure, it wasn't a wry smile. I walked slowly to her beautiful mother, bowed, and stepped out slowly, ignoring the others.
"Zhang Yun!" The beautiful sister-in-law who was sitting on the sickbed called out to her in a heart-wrenching voice. She lifted up the quilt and was about to get off the bed, but was held by the beautiful young woman beside her. In the end, the two of them did not get off the bed and instead embraced each other. The beautiful sister-in-law cried very loudly. I want to turn back. But in the end I didn't look back. I knew that once I looked back, I would never be able to walk out of this room so leisurely again. I'm also worried about my beautiful sister-in-law, but for her to live a good life in the future, I have no other choice but to leave!
Forget me, forget our Zhang family, forget our mountain! I walked slowly, only a few steps away, but it felt like centuries. Based on my senses, I knew that the three high-ranking officials hadn't moved at all, but Yi Jing, Zhu Dantong, Ronnie and the other beauties all moved towards me, but in the end, no one took a second step.
I don't know why they didn't take the second step, and I didn't care, but I walked on without regret: I had to choose so that my beautiful sister-in-law would have a better life in the future!
Forever, I will part with my beautiful sister-in-law. I knew that from her mother, from the two young people, from her own conversation, the living conditions of her family were not comparable to mine. Perhaps, after this farewell, we, who were born in two different worlds, will never have the chance to meet again! Even if they met, they would not have the chance to talk!
I will forever lose my beloved beautiful sister-in-law, Sister Guo Qing!
A sharp pain in my heart! I was surprised to find that I had fallen in love with my beautiful sister-in-law!
Perhaps I have never felt this way in my normal life, but today, after a lifetime of separation, I find a sudden emptiness in my heart. That place has long been filled up by my beautiful sister-in-law!
I don't know when I fell in love with my beautiful sister-in-law! Because I've always thought from the bottom of my heart that she was my sister-in-law. She could never be my woman! But today, right now, I found out that from the very start, I had treated her as my own woman! Especially after my parents and brother had passed away, my spirit had become one with hers!
However, it was all over!
Was this her first love? Maybe. At least, for the first time, I found myself in love with a woman. But was this really her first love? It didn't seem like it! Because I don't seem to have even talked about love with big sister Guo Qing! However, regardless of whether it was true or not, it was all over!
Maybe I should have turned around to look for her, but today was obviously unrealistic! Actually, there's no reason to love a person. For me, who loves her now, I might as well let her lead a life she should live instead of forcefully changing the trajectory of her life for me!
Yes, it was all over!
Holding back the pain in my heart, I stepped out of the ward door, out of the medical building, out of the hospital.
The city before him was still the same. It was very familiar, yet also very unfamiliar. Here, I also recorded four years of university life and more than half a year of working life. Now, it's finally time for me to leave.
Still, I walked on, step by step, into the bank, and handed over my ID and the deposit slip with trembling hands. The money was passed over from his big sister at the bank. Looking at my father and brother risking their lives to exchange for 30,000 yuan, I wanted to cry, but in the end I didn't. I staunchly put the money away and walked back to my rental house step by step. When they arrived at the small house, the night had already quietly descended.
I personally returned the money to Grandma Tension and the other two. Amidst their shocked expressions, I informed them that Sister Guo Qing had already gone back to her mother's house and would never return. I also decided to resign and leave the city tomorrow. The three ladies also said something, but I listened to them. After returning to my room, I ate some of the leftovers from Sister Guo Qing's morning meal. Without taking a bath, I went to bed early.
Under the dim light, I lay quietly on Sister Guo Qing's bed, thinking of her!
