People were coming and going in the airport. The elders of the Fu and Chi families were crying like tearful people in the airport. Everyone knew that after leaving, no one knew when they would come back. No one knew what their future would be like.
Bai Yeqing and Xia Xingchen also went to the airport to see them off. Before leaving, Xia Xingchen squatted down and hugged the unconscious Chi Weiyang, with tears in her eyes.
Watching them go in and the plane fly away from the airport, Xia Xingchen leaned in Bai Yeqing's arms for a long time before she finally calmed down.
"Let's go."
Bai Yeqing patted her shoulder and took her hand as they left the airport.
She asked: "Do you think Weiyang will wake up?"
"Yes," he always answered.
She knew that he was comforting herself. She had always comforted herself in this way.
In the following months, she asked Bai Yeqing this question many, many times, and Bai Yeqing patiently answered her many, many times.
On the other side…
Where is Fu Yichen
During the five months in Country R, he must have asked this question hundreds of times! However, no one would answer him, and he always asked and answered himself.
Will be fine.
One day, she will wake up.
She wouldn't be willing to just ignore him and never talk to him again for the rest of her life.
He thought that she must be punishing him for his ruthlessness and willfulness when he left her, which was why she was unwilling to wake up, talk to him, or hug him.
The weather in R country in September is quite good. It is just the beginning of autumn and the weather is still warm. Outside the window, the thin morning light shines into the room, which is particularly comfortable.
Fu Yichen woke up first.
Turn your face.
The woman he loved beside him had also opened her eyes. He smiled at her, very gently, and ruffled her neatly combed hair, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Her eyes were still empty and lifeless.
He knew that she would not respond to him, but he did not stop smiling. Instead, he leaned over and kissed her gently on the cheek.
"The doctor said you're great, you know that?" Like talking to a normal person.
"..." She didn't say anything, but she blinked slightly.
"You can eat liquid food from now on. The doctor said this is a good sign." Fu Yichen lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed.
As always, the first thing he did was give her a massage. A full body massage.
She seemed to be very comfortable and enjoying it, closing her eyes and letting him do what he wanted. He smiled at her and tickled her armpits, but she didn't smile, just looked at him calmly and woodenly.
But even so, he was in a very good mood today.
After the massage, the doorbell suddenly rang. Before he could say anything, he heard a familiar voice outside, "Mr. Fu, are you home?"
It's a neighbor.
He is also from Country S.
People living in this area are all from Country S.
He chose this place on purpose, so that when he was occasionally busy, there would be a neighbor to chat with her. Although, she would not respond.
Fortunately, the neighbors are all very warm people.
The person who knocked on the door today was Miss Gao from the small western-style building next door.
"A guest is coming. I'll go open the door first." Fu Yichen said to Chi Weiyang and got up from the bed.
He casually put on his clothes, tidied himself up a bit, and left the room.
After opening the door, Miss Gao stood outside with a smile on her face, "Mr. Fu, good morning."
"morning."
"This is the breakfast I just made. I thought you probably haven't started making it yet, so I gave it to you to try." Miss Gao was holding the breakfast.
Fu Yichen felt grateful.
"Thank you." He took the breakfast and asked, "Would you like to come in and sit for a while? But my wife hasn't gotten up yet."
Miss Gao went in and asked, "Do you need my help?"
"That's not necessary." Fu Yichen shook his head, "She's used to me taking care of her, and I'm used to doing it myself."
Miss Gao looked at him and said with emotion: "You are such a good man. Nowadays, there are very few people who are as devoted and loyal as you are."
Fu Yichen shook his head.
"She became like this because of me. And... if I were lying in bed now, I think she would take care of me in the same way."
Miss Gao sighed.
Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Fu Yichen smiled and asked, "Is there anything else you need my help with?"
"Not really... I had something to tell you, but I think it's pointless to say it."
"What's the matter?" Fu Yichen poured a glass of water for Miss Gao.
Miss Gao took a sip, sat down on the sofa, and asked him, "Do you remember Miss Aisha, the daughter of the Reeses in Building 3201, whom you helped last month?"
"Is her name Aisha?" Fu Yichen couldn't quite remember her name. He only knew that she was a girl in her 20s. She had a car accident that day and the situation was very critical, but the ambulance was late. His family happened to have all the facilities, so he gave her a simple treatment. He waited until the doctor came. The doctor said that it was fortunate that he helped to deal with it, otherwise, the girl might face high paraplegia.
But Fu Yichen didn't understand why Miss Gao came here today and mentioned what happened that day.
"Actually, it's like this. Ms. Aisha seems to have a good impression of you because of that incident."
Fu Yichen was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"so what?"
"She also knows about you and your wife, but... to be honest, it's not a good idea for you to keep going like this. Miss Aisha means that you can find a full-time nanny to take care of your wife in the future. Her family will pay for it, and she won't treat your wife unfairly in the future."
Fu Yichen stood up and said, "Miss Gao, my wife is awake. I have to move her to change clothes and wash her hair. I have to go see a doctor later. I won't see you off."
He was always gentlemanly and had a gentle voice.
"What just happened..."
"please."
His tone was much stronger until now. He thought, should he stop helping others indiscriminately in the future? However, there was no other way. Being a doctor was his duty. Even if he was taking her on vacation, he still couldn't just stand by and watch.
… … … … …
After seeing Miss Gao off, Fu Yichen returned to his room.
She was still lying on the bed. He walked over and touched her little face. "Are you impatient?"
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that her eyes seemed to have some focus. She seemed to be staring at him.
However, when he met her gaze again, her eyes had returned to their original lifeless state.
I shook my head, thinking that I was delusional.
He picked her up and took off her pajamas. Her skin was white. Although he often took her out to bask in the sun during the past five months, she stayed at home most of the time. Her skin became even whiter. But... she was thinner.
