After leaving the ward, Ye Xingguang stood outside, looking through the glass door. Overwhelmed with joy, she couldnât help shedding tears. She took out her phone, eager to share this good news with Ye Junqing.
At this moment, he was the one she wanted to share this with most.
After a while, the call connected. She had almost lost her patience waiting when Ye Junqingâs voice finally came through the phone: âHelloâ¦â
Ye Xingguang, overjoyed as if she had the whole world in her hands, cried and laughed at the same time: âWhere have you been? Did you know my fatherâs condition has started to improve? All the test results showed signs of improvement. The doctor said my father has hope, he said his condition isnât as bad as we thought. What you said really made sense. Even if the road is blocked and seems to lead nowhere, dawn finally comes after the darkest hour. A miracle really happened for my dad.â
âAre you relieved now?â Ye Junqing, suppressing the discomfort in his body, sounded quite normal.
âMhm, just that youâre not here with me at this moment. I canât hug you. Why did you have to leave in such a hurry?â
Ye Junqing didnât say anything. He couldnât help but imagine himself hugging the hyperactive woman gently in his arms.
He could feel her current state of mind.
He didnât have to rush to the morgue again like before, to embrace her, who couldnât even stand because of despair. But however strong he was, he could not soothe her inner pain. That sense of powerlessnessâ¦
He suddenly realized everything was changing. It seemed all things were moving in a positive direction.
Their relationship, which once seemed to be stuck in a dead-end, was reviving. She cared about him and took care of him when his chronic disease relapsed. She even went all-in to save his older brother when he was in danger, and even posted her selfies on Weibo, although he didnât see those photosâ¦
And him â He was right on time to rescue her father from the brink of death.
âWhere are you now?â Ye Xingguang asked again.
Ye Junqing said, âI havenât slept all day and night. Iâm tired and found a hotel to get some sleep.â
âSo thatâs how it is. You havenât left T city, have you?â
âNo.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWell, I called just to tell you about my dadâs situation. Now go get some sleep. Iâm going downstairs to get some late-night snacks. Iâm suddenly so hungry. My mom hasnât eaten either. I have to stay at the hospital to spend the night with my dad.â
âGo ahead.â
With that, Ye Junqing hung up the phone right away so that he wouldnât betray his trembling voice.
Ye Xingguang wanted to talk more, but he ended the conversation. Was he really that tired?
Ye Xingguang felt somewhat disappointed.
After hanging up, she went downstairs to buy late-night snacks. The mood was completely different from when she did the same last night.
On the other hand, after hanging up the phone, Ye Junqing stayed alone in the car.
The car was parked in the suburbs of T city, close to an isolated beach. The sound of the waves crashing against the cliffs couldnât drown out the song playing on the phone in the car, âYou were my first sunshine.â
Ye Junqing was trying to suppress his thirst for blood, trembling all over, shivering from the chill. Even though she wasnât by his side at this moment, her song was on repeat, keeping him company, warming his heart.
Closing his eyes, he was brought back to a decade ago when Xiaoyuwei hugged him, requested him to leave, pleaded with him not to save her, and cried out, âIs it worth it?â
Listening to this song, he could now answer her confidently: âIt is, as long as I can be the sun in your heart.â
