Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Worth it, as long as I can be the sun in your heart_1
After leaving the ward, Ye Xingguang stood outside, looking through the glass door. Overwhelmed with joy, she couldn’t help shedding tears. She took out her phone, eager to share this good news with Ye Junqing.
At this moment, he was the one she wanted to share this with most.
After a while, the call connected. She had almost lost her patience waiting when Ye Junqing’s voice finally came through the phone: “Hello…”
Ye Xingguang, overjoyed as if she had the whole world in her hands, cried and laughed at the same time: “Where have you been? Did you know my father’s condition has started to improve? All the test results showed signs of improvement. The doctor said my father has hope, he said his condition isn’t as bad as we thought. What you said really made sense. Even if the road is blocked and seems to lead nowhere, dawn finally comes after the darkest hour. A miracle really happened for my dad.”
“Are you relieved now?” Ye Junqing, suppressing the discomfort in his body, sounded quite normal.
“Mhm, just that you’re not here with me at this moment. I can’t hug you. Why did you have to leave in such a hurry?”
Ye Junqing didn’t say anything. He couldn’t help but imagine himself hugging the hyperactive woman gently in his arms.
He could feel her current state of mind.
He didn’t have to rush to the morgue again like before, to embrace her, who couldn’t even stand because of despair. But however strong he was, he could not soothe her inner pain. That sense of powerlessness…
He suddenly realized everything was changing. It seemed all things were moving in a positive direction.
Their relationship, which once seemed to be stuck in a dead-end, was reviving. She cared about him and took care of him when his chronic disease relapsed. She even went all-in to save his older brother when he was in danger, and even posted her selfies on Weibo, although he didn’t see those photos…
And him – He was right on time to rescue her father from the brink of death.
“Where are you now?” Ye Xingguang asked again.
Ye Junqing said, “I haven’t slept all day and night. I’m tired and found a hotel to get some sleep.”
“So that’s how it is. You haven’t left T city, have you?”
“No.”
“Well, I called just to tell you about my dad’s situation. Now go get some sleep. I’m going downstairs to get some late-night snacks. I’m suddenly so hungry. My mom hasn’t eaten either. I have to stay at the hospital to spend the night with my dad.”
“Go ahead.”
With that, Ye Junqing hung up the phone right away so that he wouldn’t betray his trembling voice.
Ye Xingguang wanted to talk more, but he ended the conversation. Was he really that tired?
Ye Xingguang felt somewhat disappointed.
After hanging up, she went downstairs to buy late-night snacks. The mood was completely different from when she did the same last night.
On the other hand, after hanging up the phone, Ye Junqing stayed alone in the car.
The car was parked in the suburbs of T city, close to an isolated beach. The sound of the waves crashing against the cliffs couldn’t drown out the song playing on the phone in the car, “You were my first sunshine.”
Ye Junqing was trying to suppress his thirst for blood, trembling all over, shivering from the chill. Even though she wasn’t by his side at this moment, her song was on repeat, keeping him company, warming his heart.
Closing his eyes, he was brought back to a decade ago when Xiaoyuwei hugged him, requested him to leave, pleaded with him not to save her, and cried out, “Is it worth it?”
Listening to this song, he could now answer her confidently: “It is, as long as I can be the sun in your heart.”
