After a moment, Li Yu slowly bent down and knelt down in front of the couch, looked up at her, and said hoarsely: "Lingling, there are many miracle doctors in Beicheng."
Sheng Ling nodded, "But this is Liang Guo's poison, a poison that has no antidote, a poison that has invaded the heart and lungs."
"Give it a try, Lingling." Li Yu said, holding her little hand.
Sheng Ling shook her head, maybe because Li Yu shared the same problem with her. She lowered her head and said: "I can't bear that the relatives I care about so much are sad because of me, and I can't bear that they will lose me one day. I would rather... stay far away. Far away, after death, people will send them letters from time to time, so that they think Sheng Ling is playing around and Sheng Ling is still alive and well... This is easier to accept than losing."
At least, she couldn't accept the dismal outcome of Sheng Ling leaving this world forever.
She couldn't accept it, nor could she allow them to accept it.
After listening to her words, Li Yu suddenly lowered his head, his face slowly touching her knees. Sheng Ling saw that Li Yu's shoulders were shaking a little.
Sheng Ling was silent and suddenly took out her little hand. She wanted to touch Li Yu's hair, but in the end she didn't touch it. She just said softly, "Li Yu, I told you before that after death, love and hate may not matter. , I don’t love you, and I don’t hate you. Don’t force me to go back, and I won’t talk to you about it. There’s no need. I’m almost dead anyway…”
As she spoke, Sheng Ling took a deep breath, and then exhaled, looking relieved and gentle, "I mean, we are just like friends, let's spend the rest of the time together, whoever dies first What do you think about helping to collect the body and take care of the funeral arrangements?"
If Li Yu hadn't clearly known that Sheng Ling was talking about a matter of life and death, he almost thought that Sheng Ling was just discussing a very ordinary matter with him.
Li Yu didn't answer Sheng Ling's question immediately. He just looked at her, took her little hand that had been withdrawn, wrapped it in his palm, and slowly tightened his grip, fearing that she would slip away again.
Sheng Ling raised his eyes and reminded: "They are friends."
Li Yu nodded and held her little hand tightly: "We are friends."
The tone seemed to say that it was normal for friends to hold hands.
"Lingling, what is your wish?"
"If I die first, you can help me send these letters back separately." Sheng Ling opened the secret compartment on the desk and pointed to the letters inside to Li Yu.
Li Yu stared at the letters. After a while, he lowered his eyes and said, "To whom?"
"Just send it to the palace."
Li Yu gave a short "hmm" and pinched her slender little fingers, thinking, "If I die first..."
"What do you want me to do?" Sheng Ling asked.
"If I die first, Lingling shouldn't bury me in the soil too quickly, but don't scare Lingling either. Lingling will just put me in the coffin and keep vigil for me for seven days, okay?"
Sheng Ling retorted to him, "Only relatives should keep vigil. I have no biological relationship with you."
Li Yu raised his eyes and looked at her with a warm smile: "Lingling, be my relative for seven days, okay?"
Sheng Ling was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips, and did not answer immediately.
"Just seven days, okay?" Li Yu still grabbed her finger and begged sincerely, somewhat reluctantly.
Sheng Ling lowered his head and responded briefly.
Sort of... agreed.
