After the doctors left, Song Ge stood at the door for a while, wondering how she could gain Ji Qingzhen's trust.
This really gave her a headache.
Before she could figure it out, the door of Room 201 suddenly opened. It was Ji Qingzhen's father, Mr. Ji.
Seeing Song Ge standing at the door, he was first puzzled, then asked, "Do you need something?"
Song Ge had no choice but to brace herself. She gave an awkward smile and said, "I'm a friend of Ji Qingzhen. I heard he was ill, so I came to visit him."
Mr. Ji nodded and sighed. "Come in," he said, then led Song Ge into the ward.
Ji Qingzhen was lying in bed. He looked somewhat similar to Ji Qingyun, but still had the innocence of a child.
Seeing a stranger enter the room, Ji Qingzhen frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
"Aren't you friends?" Mr. Ji was confused. He looked at Song Ge, completely at a loss.
Song Ge smiled, constantly pinching her clothes with her hands. An idea flashed through her mind. "Actually, I'm from the next - door ward. I just heard what the doctor said outside," she said, then found a seat and sat down.
"I also have a younger brother. But at that time, I was far away from home and couldn't be with him when he was ill. I regret it very much. So when I saw you, I thought of my younger brother."
Mr. Ji was really touched by Song Ge's words, but Ji Qingzhen remained expressionless. Although he was just a ten - year - old boy, the look on his face was not what a boy of his age should have.
"Go out. I'm not your brother," Ji Qingzhen said, then picked up a book beside him and ignored Song Ge.
Seeing Ji Qingzhen's attitude, Mr. Ji just asked Song Ge to leave.
Song Ge stood at the door and sighed. "This kid is so hard to deal with," she murmured.
Then she sat directly on the bench outside. She couldn't give up easily. There must be other ways.
These days, Song Ge either brought food or bought things for Ji Qingzhen, but Ji Qingzhen returned them all. This really stumped Song Ge.
One day, Song Ge went to Ji Qingzhen's ward as usual. But when she opened the door, she didn't see him.
Just then, a nurse came in to tidy up the room.
"Excuse me, where is the patient here?" Song Ge asked.
The nurse replied while tidying up, "He went home. He's always like this. He stays in the hospital for a few days and then goes home for a few days."
Song Ge nodded in understanding. Fortunately, she knew where his home was.
After leaving the hospital, Song Ge went to the neighborhood outside Ji Qingzhen's home. Since she didn't know his exact address, she had to wander around the neighborhood aimlessly.
From afar, she saw a basketball court. There were some kids playing basketball on it. They seemed to be about ten years old.
Song Ge walked over and saw Ji Qingzhen sitting on the bench beside the court. He was the one she was looking for.
He didn't seem to notice her coming. Instead, he kept looking at the young masters running on the basketball court.
Song Ge sat down beside him and didn't say a word.
Actually, Ji Qingzhen had noticed Song Ge long ago, but he didn't show it.
"Do you know how much I envy them? They can run freely and do whatever they want," Ji Qingzhen suddenly said, his tone full of dejection.
Hearing this, Song Ge replied subconsciously, "You can do it too."
Ji Qingzhen suddenly laughed. "You don't understand at all," he said.
After saying this, Song Ge realized that Ji Qingzhen was ill. His body didn't allow him to do such strenuous activities.
She raised her eyes and looked at Ji Qingzhen with a bit of sympathy.
"Don't look at me with that sympathetic look. I don't need it," Ji Qingzhen said.
Actually, Ji Qingzhen had a good temper and good grades. But this sudden change seemed to have turned him into a different person. He didn't like to talk and didn't want to get close to others.
Song Ge withdrew her gaze and looked back at the basketball court. Suddenly, she grabbed Ji Qingzhen's hand and said, "Come on, go and experience it."
Strangely enough, Ji Qingzhen didn't shake off this strange woman's hand. Instead, he ran with her. It had been a long time since he last ran.
Song Ge pulled Ji Qingzhen into the basketball court. "Wait for me here for a while," she said, then walked away.
Ji Qingzhen saw her talking to a few boys who were playing basketball. After a while, she reappeared with a basketball in her arms. "Try it," she said.
Ji Qingzhen hesitated. He stretched out his hand, but then retracted it.
Song Ge saw his hesitation. She directly grabbed his hand and stuffed the ball into it. "Go," she said.
Ji Qingzhen stood in the middle of the basketball court. After standing still for a few seconds, he gradually started to run and blended in with the other boys playing basketball.
Song Ge sat in the distance and watched Ji Qingzhen. The smile on his face was so real.
Suddenly, someone accidentally knocked Ji Qingzhen to the ground.
Song Ge was very anxious. She ran over quickly, looking very nervous. "Are you okay?" she asked.
But Ji Qingzhen laughed and just lay on the ground without getting up.
In the evening, Ji Qingzhen was very reluctant to leave the basketball court. He walked home with Song Ge.
"I haven't been this happy for a long time. Thank you, sister," Ji Qingzhen said.
Hearing the word "sister", Song Ge knew that she was more than half successful.
Ji Qingzhen smelled the sweat on his body but didn't hate it at all. "Can you take me out to play again tomorrow?" he asked.
"Sure," Song Ge readily agreed. She couldn't change the fact that Ji Qingzhen was going to die. So she would try her best to make him happy.
Ji Qingzhen stretched out his little finger. "Let's pinky - swear," he said.
Song Ge also stretched out her hand and hooked fingers with Ji Qingzhen.
After Ji Qingzhen went home that day, his health deteriorated. He had to stay in the hospital all the time. Song Ge also accompanied him during his treatment.
One day, Song Ge went to the hospital to bring food for Ji Qingzhen as usual and ran into Ji Qingyun.
Ji Qingyun was as gentle as Song Ge remembered.
"Song Ge," Ji Qingyun was very surprised to see Song Ge. "Why are you here?"
"Because I have the superpower of precognition," Song Ge replied.
After they talked, Ji Qingzhen found out that his elder brother had known Song Ge for a long time and had always liked her.
Ji Qingyun thought that meeting Song Ge like this must be fate, so he prepared to confess his love to her.
When Song Ge stood in the middle of the surprise rose - filled area that Ji Qingyun had prepared, her mood was very complicated.
"Song Ge, I like you. Be my girlfriend," Ji Qingyun said.
Song Ge refused directly. "Sorry, you're not the one destined for me," she said.
A look of disappointment flashed across Ji Qingyun's eyes, and Song Ge caught it. Thinking of what would happen to him in the future, she smiled and said, "I've said before that I have superpowers. I predict that you will also meet the one destined for you. It's just not me."
Ji Qingyun sighed, knowing that there was no chance for them after all. "Well, I hope we'll both find happiness," he said.
