A sterile white space, filled with medical equipment.
On a single bed in the laboratory.
Su Ruanruan lay quietly.
Bao Jingyan sat beside the bed, gently caressing her cheek.
She had been gone for years, and she took Ziqi with her.
He always needed something to remember her by.
A female doctor entered: "Mr. Yan, everything’s ready!"
Bao Jingyan stood up, his expression solemn: "I’ll do it myself."
He changed into a sterile suit and put on medical gloves.
When Su Ruanruan awoke.
She was in a hospital.
Bao Jingyan sat beside her, his voice hoarse: "Awake?"
Su Ruanruan was somewhat dazed.
She still hadn’t snapped out of her dream... she had dreamt she and Bao Jingyan had a child.
Upon waking, her waist felt a bit sore.
If it were before, she could have clung to him and coquettishly claimed she had a dream.
Su Ruanruan sat up, "I’ll go see Ziqi."
Bao Jingyan caught her hand.
Su Ruanruan struggled, but couldn’t break free.
His face was calm, and just by looking at his expression, one couldn’t tell how much strength he was using.
"Bao Jingyan," she softly called his name.
She said: "I’m not angry, nothing else... I owe him."
Bao Jingyan challenged: "Do you owe him enough to commit your life to him?"
Su Ruanruan’s eyes were moist as she whispered, "No."
Bao Jingyan let go of her hand.
He said, "I believe you."
Su Ruanruan didn’t understand his meaning, and she fled in panic.
Bao Ziqi woke up after the surgery.
On the day he was discharged, he went to see Qi Meiyu once with Bao Jingyuan.
Bao Ziqi had hired a lawyer for her.
He told her: "I’m going to Britain! Jingyuan is coming too."
Mrs. Bao, holding the phone, cried uncontrollably on the other end.
She covered her mouth, sobbing: "Ziqi, Jingyuan, I’m sorry!"
Bao Jingyuan was crying too hard to catch her breath.
Bao Ziqi gently patted his sister’s shoulder.
Upon leaving, Su Ruanruan was waiting outside for them.
Bao Jingyuan softly said: "Big brother, I never thought one day we would be dependent on Su Ruanruan."
Indeed, dependent on each other.
The three of them, their relationship delicate.
Going to Britain was the best choice.
Su Ruanruan stepped forward to take Bao Ziqi’s wheelchair, she told Bao Jingyuan: "The apartment in Britain is just over 100 square meters, not even as large as your bedroom! There, there are no banquets or beautiful jewelry, we have to cook for ourselves, plus I’ve only hired one caregiver, are you sure you want to go?"
Bao Jingyuan followed her.
She pitifully said: "I’m not afraid of hardship! I can attend classes during the day, and take care of big brother at night!"
She was afraid that Su Ruanruan would change her mind and clung to her arm.
Su Ruanruan smiled faintly.
A week after Bao Ziqi was discharged.
They flew to Britain.
That morning, Bao Jingyan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in his office.
The flight to Britain flew over Jiangcheng.
Seeing her boss standing at the window, she realized she was interrupting him.
Just as she was about to leave, Bao Jingyan spoke.
He said: "Ziqi and Jingyuan are with her, I’m a bit angry, but I’m also pleased!"
The Bao family, shattered to pieces.
Time is the best healer.
If that’s not enough, there’s still Ruanruan.
Just then, Bao Jingyan received a call.
It was from the female doctor in the lab, she softly congratulated Bao Jingyan: "Mr. Bao, it’s a great success."
Bao Jingyan lowered his eyes, smiling tenderly.
Ruanruan, how could I possibly let go!
I’ve said, we can both wait...
