"Shang Shang, this time, I want to be serious... and say goodbye to you..." He paused once before finishing this simple sentence.
“…” She squatted on the ground, crying uncontrollably.
His eyes were moist, and he had almost no strength left in his body, but he struggled to hold on, "This time, I won't leave you quietly..."
"I don't want to say goodbye to you forever, I don't want to..." Shang Shiyu's voice was extremely desperate. Her voice was shaking, and her whole body was shaking.
She knew that this would be of no use, but she had no other choice but to beg like a child and hope that God would have mercy on her.
"Shang Shang, I love you." Tang Wei's weak voice seemed to float from a distant abyss. It was as thin as a wisp of smoke, but it contained a strong affection, "And... forget me..."
The last word was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
The plane, at this moment, took off into the air.
"Sorry, sir, you should turn off your phone." The voice of the flight attendant sounded along with the sound of the aircraft engine.
However, no answer was heard.
"Sir?" the stewardess spoke again.
The phone slipped from his cold palm with a thud. His hand also fell weakly...
Eyes, heavily closed.
"Sir, sir, wake up, wake up! Oh no, Captain! There's an accident here! The passenger seems to have stopped breathing!" The flight attendant's panicked scream came clearly from the phone.
On the other side, a sharp pain exploded from his chest like a bomb, Shang Shiyu's eyes went dark, and he fainted completely.
She lay on the cold floor, his voice echoing in her ears for a long time:
—Shang Shang, I love you.
-forget me.
—Life is never supposed to be sensational, I would rather be ordinary.
—Shang Shang, what you carry on your shoulders is never your life.
It turned out... It turned out that he had already planned for this day, but she knew nothing about it.
———
Shang Shiyu didn't know how many days he had been unconscious.
She only knew pain.
She didn't want to wake up, because she knew very well that even greater pain would await her after she woke up.
However, more than a month later, she finally woke up.
"She's awake! She's awake! Lao Shang! Call a doctor quickly, my daughter has finally woken up!" An anxious voice, with a crying tone, sounded in my ears.
"Awake? Really awake! Doctor!" the man shouted excitedly and ran out.
Shang Shiyu was still somewhat numb. She stared blankly at the pale ceiling with lifeless eyes, not knowing what time it was or where she was.
"Shang Shang! Shang Shang! Look at me, I'm your mother!" Liu Xiangru was frightened by her daughter's wooden look. She sat on the edge of the bed, took her much thinner hand, and put it on her face, "Do you still recognize me?"
Her black eyeballs finally moved slowly. After a long time, her sight finally settled on the woman's face. Gradually, it came into focus.
Her dry lips trembled and she moved her throat with effort.
"Mom..." The word was dry and astringent, sounding like sand was swallowed in the throat.
Liu Xiangru burst into tears immediately. She held Shang Shiyu's hand tightly, "You have been unconscious for so long, your father and I must be worried to death! Shang Shang, if anything happens to you, your father and I will really go with you!"
Shang Shiyu closed his eyes, as if trying to calm down.
"Shang Shang, don't sleep anymore. Your father has already called the doctor, who will be here soon!" Liu Xiangru was worried that she would fall asleep again, so she hurried to wake her up.
After more than a month of coma, the couple were exhausted and both of them were so thin that they were almost unrecognizable.
We took her to various departments for all kinds of examinations, but nothing was found to be wrong with her body. However, she just kept falling into a coma and couldn't be woken up.
The doctors were helpless, and there was nothing they could do except give her nutritional injections to keep her going. They couldn't even say when she would wake up, and only said that it all depended on her own willpower.
Shangqiu and Liu Xiangru were extremely desperate. At one point they thought that she would not wake up unless Tang Wei came back to life and woke her up.
But, okay! Now she's awake! She's awake!
"It's really God's blessing!" Liu Xiangru murmured.
"Mom..." Shang Shiyu opened his eyes again, "How long have I slept?"
"It will be 40 days tomorrow, and it's already May!"
40 days…
"Where's my cell phone?" Shang Shiyu looked around, "Mom, I need my cell phone..."
"Your phone ran out of battery a long time ago. You left it at home and didn't bring it with you. You just woke up, so just lie down. What do you need a phone for?"
Shang Shiyu didn't say anything, but suddenly moved his body and tried to stand up. However, after moving for a moment, he fell back to the bed with weakness, and the needle in his hand was crooked.
"Shang Shang, don't move! You've been lying down for so long and haven't eaten anything. Where do you get the strength to do that?"
Shang Shiyu bit his lip, held his breath and pulled out the needle from his arm in one go. His movements were so fast that Liu Xiangru had no time to stop him.
"Shang Shang, what are you doing?!"
"I want to go to Jude City!" Shang Shiyu supported himself on the bed, his arms trembling, "Mom, can you help me up?"
Liu Xiangru was heartbroken. How could she not know what her daughter wanted to do in Youcheng at this moment? But... it was too late! It was too late!
"Shang Shang, please stop!" Liu Xiangru hugged her daughter, "Mom knows you are upset, and I feel the same pain as you, but I beg you... Please stop thinking about him..."
"I'm just going to see him. Mom, he's sick. I'll be back soon."
"It's too late..." Liu Xiangru choked up, "Shang Shang, he's gone..."
Shang Shiyu’s body stiffened.
gone…
He still left...
it is true.
This wasn't just a nightmare she was having.
Shang Shiyu thought she would faint again, but it turned out that the heart in her chest had already been numb. Maybe it was dead now, dead to the point of no consciousness...
"Two days after you fainted, the Tang family called..." Liu Xiangru was afraid that her daughter was still immersed in such pain and could not extricate herself. Although she knew that this fact was cruel, she still stubbornly continued to say: "He passed away peacefully, without pain..."
"Ten days later, his lawyer came here. Most of his property was handed over to you. Moreover, your job was also arranged in Mianyang City."
Liu Xiangru slowly let her go. "We don't dare to take his property, but you are still asleep, and we can't ask you for your opinion. So, we can only wait until you wake up before making a decision."
