Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In Room 305 of Shanghai Oncology Hospital, a pale young man was leaning against the bed. His hair had been shaved off because of the chemotherapy.
At this moment, he stared at the door of the ward in a daze.
His life was on the countdown!
When he was discovered to be suffering from acute leukemia, he was already in the late stages and could not even undergo surgery. He could only rely on chemotherapy and conservative treatment. If he could delay for a day, it would be a day.
However, he was very unwilling. He was still so young.
He was only 23 years old!
He had yet to marry his childhood sweetheart and have children.
If he left just like that, what would happen to his parents? What would happen to Zhilin?
However, illness came like a landslide!
In the face of disease, no matter how much wealth you had, you could not save your life at all.
Since there were only two months left, he wanted to take advantage of this last period of time to travel around and see the rivers and mountains. He wanted to find another good man to take care of Zhilin for the rest of her life.
However, when he thought about how he had to hand over the girl he had protected since he was young to another man, he felt very indignant.
He originally thought that he would push Mei Zhilin away first, so he found a junior and paid her to act. Then, he would make Mei Zhilin think that he had a change of heart and fell in love with someone else. This way, Mei Zhilin could hate him and slowly forget him. In the future, even if she received the grievous news of his death, she would no longer be sad.
His original plan was carried out well, and Zhizhi did believe that he had a change of heart.
Unexpectedly, she went to Gu Qingming’s place with someone and started to investigate him. In the end, she really found out the truth.
Mei Zhilin insisted on accompanying him to his final moments.
Just as he was thinking, AAei Zhilin appeared at the door. His eyes immediately lit up.
“Zhizhi, you’re back.” Wei Jianhang smiled.
Mei Zhilin carried the food prepared at home and helped Wei Jianhang hold his pillow. She smiled and said, “Guess what delicious food I brought you today?” Wei Jianhang smiled bitterly and said, “What delicious food? 1 can’t even eat much now!”
It was difficult to eat, so how could he eat?
Mei Zhilin’s expression froze for a moment. Then, she held his hands and said very seriously, “Jianhang, 1 will accompany you. But I hope that you can persevere and work hard. If you can live another day, you can accompany me for 86,400 seconds.”
Wei Jianhang was slightly stunned. Then, he nodded seriously and said, “Alright, for you, I’ll definitely work hard and fight for a longer time for myself!”
Mei Zhilin nodded with tears streaming down her face. “Yes.”
Wei Jianhang wiped her tears and said with a smile, “Silly girl, why are you crying? What did you bring for me to eat today? Hurry up and open it. Let me try it!”
Mei Zhilin stood up and opened the thermos. A refreshing fragrance immediately wafted out.
Wei Jianhang immediately smiled and asked, “It smells so good. What did you cook? I’ll definitely eat more of such fragrant food.”
Mei Zhilin said, “My mother cooked some vegetables and porridge.”
“Vegetable porridge?” Wei Jianhang was surprised. “It smells good?”
Mei Zhilin smiled and explained, “Ordinary vegetable porridge might not be so fragrant. To be honest, I’ve never eaten such fragrant porridge since I was young.”
“Now that you mention it, I really want to try it,” Wei Jianhang said with a smile.
Mei Zhilin poured a small bowl and fed it to Wei Jianhang.
Wei Jianhang said, “It smells really good. Did Auntie hide some top-secret technique and only use it now?”
“Pfft!” Mei Zhilin laughed. “Don’t you know what my mother’s culinary skills are? Top secret techniques? To tell you the truth, the ingredients are the reason why this vegetable porridge is so delicious and fragrant..”
