Today was the last day of the one-month timeline.
Zhai Yunsheng asked Beijing University about Jian Yiling’s plans. He confirmed that Jian Yiling’s exchange program only lasted for a month.
Furthermore, Zhai Yunsheng confirmed with Jian Yiling’s university abroad that they had already started to schedule new work for her.
This had all been approved by Jian Yiling.
All this information led Zhai Yunsheng to believe that Jian Yiling was going to leave after the month was up.
When Zhai Yunsheng arrived home, he realized that there was no one at home.
The entire apartment was dark and empty.
The one-month primary care physician contract that was signed by Jian Yiling and his grandpa was on the dining desk.
What did this mean?
Was she telling him that her one-month contract had come to an end? Did this mean that she was going to leave?
Zhai Yunsheng closed his eyes.
He had said that if she left, he wouldn’t force her to stay.
It was her choice.
Then, Zhai Yunsheng walked over to sit on the sofa.
His entire world felt quiet and desolate.
His world had returned to what it was a month ago.
A scene from his childhood appeared in his mind.
In that scene, he was standing in a pool of blood. In front of him was his father. His father was dead.
Back then, he started to cry and howl.
However, after a while, he didn’t have the strength to cry anymore. Gradually, he became quiet and numb.
Then, he stayed in that silence for an unknown period of time. He felt that only himself and death existed in his world.
He constantly thought to himself, why did my father have to die?
He should be the one dead. His father should be alive.
His father could have lived on without him.
However, instead, fate made him live on.
His father, on the other hand, had left this world forever.
Zhai Yunsheng hated the fact that everyone around him treated him carefully.
He saw his grandpa’s pain and sorrow.
He saw his uncle’s guilt and remorse.
However, he could not see the meaning of his own life. Why was he alive?
His heart began to hurt. The pain was very real.
He knew that he was not qualified to throw a tantrum. He didn’t have the right to love someone.
Loneliness was the only thing that he deserved.
“Click——” the light switch turned on.
The entire room was lit up.
Jian Yiling walked out of her room. She looked at Zhai Yunsheng who was seated on the sofa.
When Zhai Yunsheng entered the apartment, he only turned on the light at the entrance. As a result, the entire living room was dark.
Zhai Yunsheng raised his head to look at Jian Yiling.
It was a figure that he thought had left him.
However, she was standing in front of him. She was truly there.
Jian Yiling walked over to Zhai Yunsheng and asked: “What are you doing?”
Zhai Yunsheng looked at the person in front of him.
After quite some time, he spoke with great difficulty: “Didn’t you. Didn’t you leave already?”
“No,” Jian Yiling replied.
What did she mean by no?
Was she going to leave in a while? Or was she not planning to leave?
“Your one-month contract has ended,” Zhai Yunsheng said.
“I’ve changed my plans. I’m not leaving for the time being,” Jian Yiling replied.
Not leaving for the time being…
Not leaving.
“Then why did you take out your contract?”
“The contract expired. It needs to be extended,” Jian Yiling explained.
Extended…
Ahh, that was something that she would do.
“Then, are you really not leaving?” Zhai Yunsheng asked. He had to confirm the situation.
“I’m not leaving. I promised Master Zhai to take care of you.”
Zhai Yuncheng looked into Jian Yiling’s eyes. He knew that she was telling the truth.
What made her stay was not him, rather, it was what his grandpa had said to her.
“Is it only because of my grandpa?”
That day, Jian Yiling had grabbed his arm in front of Qin Chuan and Qin Yufan. He remembered that scene very clearly.
