Hating someone is not easy.
Tian Xin once asked Bei Ran, when Gu Qingchen proposed divorce, she asked Bei Ran, do you hate Gu Qingchen?
Bei Ran said, she didn’t hate him.
Because without love, where would hate come from?
At this moment, watching his receding figure, Bei Ran cried her heart out, she said, she hated him!
Or perhaps, love had long been deeply rooted in her heart.
The unnoticeable love in daily life is the hardest to discern whether it continues to grow!
In the calm of everyday life, one grows accustomed to her or his presence.
Just as one is accustomed to the sun rising and setting, just as one is accustomed to the pattern of flowers blooming and withering, just as one is accustomed to the timing of the tides.
When such tranquility is shattered, and a major event falls out of the blue, impacting him or her, that’s the moment when the innermost longing, the deep hidden feelings, are awakened.
It’s just that love, is now too late.
And hate, has already begun.
Tian Xin has been there for Bei Ran all along, silent, understanding the reasoning given by Gu Qingchen, believing that Bei Ran will understand it too.
It’s just that Bei Ran is unwilling to accept such reasoning.
Why do good people not get their rewards in this world? Why can the bad still survive?
The first rays of the morning sun light up the hospital room.
Bei Ran, wearing sterile clothing, entered Zong Zheng’s room, and looking at the deeply sleeping young man, she remembered when they met, he was just a boy in puberty, but in the blink of an eye, he had become an intern doctor.
However, his aspirations and pursuit, his love for life, all shattered in this sudden disaster.
"I’m sorry, Zong Zheng... If you hadn’t brought me soup, you wouldn’t have been injured in this accident..." As Bei Ran spoke, tears streamed down, "Do you know, how much I wish you were safe and could take care of grandma..."
"If I had kept you a little longer yesterday, you wouldn’t have been hit by Gao Yang’s car..." Bei Ran wept for a while before saying, "If I hadn’t asked you how to make kelp and mung bean soup, you could have left earlier, and by doing so, an earlier or later departure could have spared you from the accident, and today at sunrise, you’d be doing rounds with the other doctors, continuing your beloved career in medicine..."
Bei Ran gazed at the sleeping face of Zong Zheng, "I still haven’t told grandma, I don’t know if she can bear such a shock, Zong Zheng, you must wake up, okay? Grandma needs you, she’s already been deeply affected by the loss of her son and daughter-in-law, she can’t lose you too..."
At the door, another weeping sound joined in; Yang Ting walked in and placed a hand on Bei Ran’s shoulder: "Miss Bei, we believe that good people will live a peaceful life, Doctor Zong Zheng will definitely wake up."
Bei Ran looked up to see Yang Ting and nodded her head.
Yang Ting handed tissues to Bei Ran, "Even though Doctor Zong Zheng hasn’t been at the hospital for long, his patience and meticulous care for the patients, including my husband Su Feng, has been thorough, and he is diligent in his work. Such a rare good doctor will surely be blessed by Heaven, as you’ve said before, as long as we believe, there will definitely be miracles. Just like no one expected Su Feng to live this long..."
Moved by Yang Ting’s consoling words, Bei Ran responded, "Right! We must believe, miracles will definitely happen, thank you..."
"Saying thanks is too formal!" Yang Ting took her hand and they walked out, "I’m at the hospital every day, let me know if you need anything! I will pray for Doctor Zong Zheng every day..."
While they were talking, Gu Qingchen appeared, doing his rounds with a large group of doctors.
"Doctor Gu must also be very sad..." Yang Ting remarked looking towards Gu Qingchen, "He’s been on duty since 8 o’clock yesterday morning and hasn’t finished yet..."
Bei Ran, however, did not listen to Yang Ting’s words, as she turned and walked away.
At the moment she brushed past Gu Qingchen, her heart still ached unbearably.
Goodbye! Gu Qingchen!
Never see you again, Gu Chen!
As the man she once admired and respected the most, from now on, they would be like strangers.
There are many ways for a woman to love a man, and one of them is her profound respect for him!
Therefore, in her life ahead, the name Gu Qingchen will disappear!
No matter how much she once revered him, she doesn’t want to see him ever again!
