Xia Xingchen walked slowly towards the bed.
"Stars..."
Madam Lanting's voice was like a wisp of smoke, floating in the air, as if it would disappear in the next second.
Xia Xingchen felt a dull pain in her chest, and her legs felt like they were filled with lead. She walked closer, knelt down beside the bed, and couldn't hold back her tears, dripping down her cheeks.
"mom… "
When Madam Lanting saw her, she raised her lips slightly, with a rare smile on her face. However, now, even the makeup on her face could not cover up her pale face and the haggard look of dying.
"In the future... you should spend more time with your father... he is alone... Mom is worried..." Mrs. Lanting's hands trembled as she moved out of the quilt with difficulty. At this moment, even her skin had lost its luster.
When she made this request, her lifeless eyes fell on Bai Qingrang. Bai Qingrang choked with grief, clasped her hand, lifted it, raised it to his lips and kissed it gently. He wanted to say something, but he was too sad... Not a single word came out of his throat. He could only kiss her gently, as if he was trying his best to catch the last bit of her warmth and keep it on his lips.
"I will... I will stay with Dad..." Xia Xingchen's voice was choked with sobs.
Lanting's lips moved, and she wanted to say something, but it seemed that all her strength was exhausted, and she couldn't say anything. Her eyelashes trembled a few times, and she felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier...
"Lanting... Tingting... Tingting!"
Bai Qingrang screamed in pain. In the end, he was choked with sobs, lying on the edge of the bed, crying like a child.
Clearing…
Do not be sad…
I am afraid, I am afraid that I will not feel at ease on the road to the underworld...
Lan Ting's fingers trembled, as if he was using up his last bit of strength to grab Bai Qingrang's hand.
She won’t drink Mengpo soup by the Naihe Bridge…
She will meet him again in the next life with all the memories and thoughts of this life...
Everyone on the side had tears in their eyes to varying degrees. They thought that after the wedding, the two people in love would be able to live a real married life from then on, but they didn't expect...
Overnight, they were separated forever.
… … …
I don’t know how long it took…
Time seemed to have frozen.
Xia Xingchen sat there blankly, and could feel the fingertips of her fingers, which she had held tightly, gradually losing temperature and becoming cold and stiff...
But she was stubborn and didn't want to let go.
Doctor Fu stepped forward and took a closer look.
Then, his expression darkened and he looked around. Under the grieving eyes of the crowd, he spoke solemnly: "Everyone, please accept my condolences..."
Xia Xingchen slipped and fell to the ground.
Tears, however, could not flow out. It was as if they had been squeezed dry.
She couldn't help but think of the day her father told her that her mother wanted to give her a second child...
But now...
Why did she leave when her second child wasn’t even born yet
She sat there for a long time, unable to come to her senses.
"Xingchen!" Shen Min squatted down and helped her up, "You are pregnant now, you have to pay attention to your emotions..."
"Mom..." Xia Xingchen sighed with trembling lips, her eyes blurred, and when she saw Shen Min, she couldn't hold back her tears.
Shen Min hugged her and patted her back again and again, comforting her.
"Ye Qing, send Xingchen back to Zhongshan first, and leave the things here to us." The old man said.
Bai Yeqing took a solemn look at his father-in-law and mother-in-law lying on the bed, then picked up Xia Xingchen and held him horizontally.
Firstly, Shen Min was worried about her daughter, and secondly, she couldn't help much by staying here, so she took Xia Dabai and went back with them.
… … … … …
In the car, Xia Xingchen leaned on the passenger seat and didn't say a word the whole time.
He stared out the window blankly with a blank look on his face.
This morning, she even felt that everything was going so well. Just now at the wedding, they were even declaring that they would spend the rest of their lives happily. How could it be that in just a short while...
She felt like it was all a nightmare.
Bai Yeqing and Shen Min were both worried. Xia Dabai felt bad seeing her like this.
"Dabao, don't be sad." He sat in the back seat, stretched his little hand from the middle to the front, held her cold hand, put it on his little mouth and blew gently, "Don't be afraid, you still have me! I won't leave you like Second Grandma did... I will be with you all my life..."
The child's childish but heartwarming words made Xia Xingchen feel much better. She moved slightly, turned her head, and looked at the child.
Seeing her red eyes, Xia Dabai sighed, raised his hand to wipe away the tears from her eyes, and said with a headache and helplessness: "You cry so much, the little sister you will give birth to in the future will definitely be a crybaby..."
Xia Xingchen grabbed his hand, placed it on her lips and kissed it.
"I've remembered everything you just said to me. You said you would stay with me forever, don't break your promise."
Xia Dabai patted his chest with a righteous look, "A real man should keep his word. If you say it will last a lifetime, it will last a lifetime."
Xia Xingchen forced a smile on his face, and the sadness in his eyes finally eased a little.
Bai Yeqing took the time to turn his head and glance at his son. He had to admit that this little guy was quite capable.
In this situation, he is the only one who can handle her.
Bai Yeqing sent them to Zhongshan.
Originally, the whole Zhongshan was decorated with festive decorations because of today's wedding. However, the people in Zhongshan had already received the notice and removed all the red decorations.
Aunt Lin gave instructions and had people replace the flowers and curtains with black and white.
At the gate, a car from the flower garden drove up. The three cars in front and back were filled with yellow and white chrysanthemums mixed with orchids, filling the entire Zhongshan Mountain.
Xia Xingchen walked in and looked at the room full of black and white curtains, feeling desolate.
Bai Yeqing had just taken off his coat when his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from his father. Without thinking too much, Bai Yeqing put the phone to his ear. Hearing the voice from the other end, he remained silent for a long time.
Xia Xingchen looked at him.
He hung up the phone slowly, a dark tide in his eyes. He stretched out his long arms and hugged her. The next moment, Xia Xingchen only heard his voice, which sounded neither light nor heavy: "Just now... the call from the other side said that Mr. Bai... had a myocardial infarction and passed away on the way to the hospital..."
He paused several times before he could finish the sentence. I could feel the heaviness between his words.
This sentence was said to the people present.
Then, he lowered his head again, his eyes reddened, and looked at the woman in his arms, "She left in a hurry, without much pain."
