"Wow, your situation is just like a TV drama," Wu Yilan exclaimed.
The next second, she winced and covered her head. "Why did you hit me?"
"I'm hitting you for a reason." Song Ge took out her phone and checked the time. It was getting late. She wanted to go back and see Zhai Cheng.
Wu Yilan noticed her distraction and didn't try to keep her. "Alright, go back quickly. Your heart's not here with me anymore." There was a hint of jealousy in her tone.
Song Ge nodded and didn't forget to remind her, "Get to know someone well before you start dating next time."
Song Ge had said this countless times, but Wu Yilan never seemed to listen.
Wu Yilan smiled, looking a bit impatient. She pushed Song Ge out. "Okay, I know. Stop nagging. Go back and see your Zhai Cheng."
When Song Ge returned to the hospital, she saw Meng Yajing and An's mother still outside. It seemed that Zhai Cheng and Ji Qingzhen were still talking. She was a bit puzzled. What could they have to talk about for so long? Besides, they weren't very familiar.
Just as she was thinking, the door suddenly opened. It was Ji Qingzhen.
Song Ge couldn't help but step forward and ask, "What were you talking about for so long?"
Ji Qingzhen hesitated. Remembering what Zhai Cheng had said just now, he just smiled. "It's nothing. He just told me to treat Leng Jing well."
Song Ge could tell from his expression that he didn't want to tell her, so she didn't ask anymore. "How are things going between you and Leng Jing?"
Ji Qingzhen smiled faintly. It seemed that others were more anxious than the two of them. "There's plenty of time in the future."
Song Ge nodded. Of course, she also hoped that Leng Jing would be happy.
Since Ji Qingzhen had nothing else to do, he left.
The others entered the ward together.
Meng Yajing couldn't hold back her tears. "I almost thought you wouldn't wake up." She was really getting old and couldn't bear such things.
"I'm awake now," Zhai Cheng said in a joking tone.
They chatted for a while, and then Meng Yajing and An's mother left the ward, leaving the two young people alone.
The room was incredibly quiet.
Song Ge moved closer and leaned against Zhai Cheng. Feeling his warmth, she felt a bit more at ease.
Zhai Cheng gently placed his hand on her shoulder and patted it rhythmically.
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
Song Ge didn't say a word. She just shook her head gently.
Zhai Cheng suddenly remembered the voice he heard when he was in a coma. He gently pushed Song Ge away a bit. "Just now, when I was half - awake, I heard you say that you exchanged your lifespan for mine?"
Although it was a question, he seemed to already know the answer.
"I did it voluntarily." If he wasn't in this world anymore, perhaps she wouldn't have a reason to live either.
Zhai Cheng stroked her head, smiling but with tears in his eyes. "Silly girl, why are you so stupid?"
"What do I deserve for you to do this?"
Song Ge gently wiped the tears from his face. "It's worth it."
Zhai Cheng didn't say a word. He just pulled Song Ge into his embrace and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.
Song Ge buried her head in his embrace and didn't see his expression.
Song Ge never left the ward and stayed with Zhai Cheng all the time.
After dinner, Zhai Cheng saw the obvious dark circles under Song Ge's eyes. He felt really bad for her. He patted the space beside him. "Come and lie down for a while."
Song Ge shook her head. "Your condition isn't stable yet. What if something happens..."
"It won't," Zhai Cheng said with a determined look.
Song Ge sighed helplessly. She took off her shoes and got into the quilt. The quilt still had his warmth.
The hospital bed wasn't very big, and their bodies were tightly pressed together.
Song Ge was really sleepy and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Zhai Cheng kept looking at her. He gently tucked the stray hair on her forehead behind her ear.
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
A tear of his fell on Song Ge's face.
Song Ge just stirred a bit but didn't wake up.
It was a very quiet night.
The next day, Meng Yajing brought food to the hospital. Song Ge went out to buy something in the middle, so she finally had a chance to talk to Zhai Cheng from the bottom of her heart.
"This time, you survived a near - death experience thanks to Song Ge. She's really a good girl. You must treat her well after you get married," Meng Yajing rambled on.
For a long time, Zhai Cheng didn't respond at all. She looked up at him. "What are you daydreaming about? I'm talking to you."
Zhai Cheng didn't want to explain anything. He just nodded.
Meng Yajing's intuition told her that Zhai Cheng was hiding something from her. She put down the chopsticks and bowls in her hand. "Are you hiding something from me?"
"No," Zhai Cheng refused to communicate. He just took the chopsticks and bowls by himself and started eating.
"Better be. If you dare to let Song Ge down, I won't let you off!"
Zhai Cheng's hand paused for a moment, then he continued eating without saying a word.
After Song Ge came back, they ate together.
After the meal, seeing that the sun was shining brightly outside, Song Ge suggested going out for a walk. So she wheeled Zhai Cheng out for a stroll.
There were many patients everywhere in the hospital, which made people feel pity.
Song Ge and Zhai Cheng stopped by an artificial lake. It was noon, and the sun was shining on the lake, making it sparkle.
There were also many couples there. Most of them were taking pictures. Looking at them, Song Ge just smiled. There was still true love in the world.
Zhai Cheng didn't talk much. Song Ge thought it was just because he had just woken up and his body wasn't fully adjusted yet.
Suddenly, Zhai Cheng called out to Song Ge. He looked away and said, "Song Ge, if I leave, what will you do?" His heart suddenly ached.
The smile on Song Ge's face froze for a moment, then she smiled again. "What silly things are you saying? We'll always be together."
After saying this, she thought carefully. Zhai Cheng was really acting strange today. She couldn't help but ask, "Do you have something on your mind? Or did Ji Qingzhen say something to you?"
Zhai Cheng smiled, took Song Ge's hand, and rubbed it. It was as if he hadn't said those words just now. "It's nothing. I'm just afraid that I'll die before you and that you'll cry then."
Hearing his explanation, Song Ge let out a sigh of relief. "I thought something had happened. Don't worry. I'll definitely die before you and leave you alone in this world to be sad."
Although she said so, Song Ge knew that she couldn't bear to leave Zhai Cheng alone in this world to be sad. If possible, she hoped that he would be the one to die first. She would bear all the pain alone.
"Okay, then you must die before me," Zhai Cheng said with a faint smile. There was a flash of sadness in his eyes, but Song Ge didn't notice.
They didn't return to the ward until evening.
Meng Yajing had already been waiting in the ward. When she saw them come back, she started to prepare the food.
