Chapter 1, all encounters in the world are reunions after a long separation

"No need! Mr. Su, you are too kind!" Tan Qing looked at him somewhat anxiously, wondering how he would react if he knew she had gone to Taipei to visit Ji Lang

She took out a folding umbrella from her bag and walked over to him: "Thank you! Mr. Su, please take this umbrella and head back to the hotel first!"

Aunt Yao, I am very busy and do not have time to see him. She preemptively rejected any request she might have made, and the thought of that name stirred a mix of emotions within her

Even though he had once been her legal husband, and even though she had left him for her own sake, Ji Lang knew that in Tan Qing's heart, he could never be compared to that Jiang Yuan Yao.

The one who once shared intimate moments with her. Even if she could not see his face clearly, she could still recognize him among thousands of people solely by his voice

"Friend ... ... friend." She said, lowering her head

Taipei, hotel

Are you happy? Is this kind of life happy...

He gave her a car and also asked her to come to Zhongshan Hospital to see Ji Lang. Why didn't he try to keep her? Or at least tell her that he is Jiang Yuanyao

He is wearing a white hospital gown, and it is uncertain whether it is due to his illness that he has cut his hair short. He appears even thinner, yet possesses a more gentle and subdued demeanor. Compared to the proud and fierce Ji Lang from six years ago, he now aligns more closely with the memory of the youth he once was.

I know

Tan Qing remained silent; upon careful reflection, the only individuals who could be considered important in this world, apart from Jiang Yuanyao, are likely only Ji Lang.

The dull thud accompanied by intense pain left him feeling dizzy, as Tan Qing's face slowly magnified before his eyes, shifting from a smile mixed with tears to panic and sorrow... He could no longer see clearly, the world rumbled distantly in his ears...

She sighed and continued, "I do not believe that there are identical people in the world; even twins will have differences. So, Mr. Su, what about you? Do you believe in it?"

He let out a light sigh, leaned back slightly, and turned his face淡淡地向 the outside.

The rain fell swiftly. Master Cheng walked around the car and waved to Tan Qing: "Please ask some tourists to help push the car while I try to drive it out..."

A young man in a white shirt got out of the car and respectfully nodded at Allen

No need for that. His voice was weak, yet the corners of his lips curled into a smile. I know I owe you an apology for ruining your love. However, it is fortunate that I understand the importance of letting go at the right time. Five years ago, I agreed to divorce you, which, for both of us, was not too painful.

Ji Lang! Tan Qing pushed his hand away, her cool gaze fixed on him: "I did not come here to reminisce with you"

This is Zhou Zhou, who has ten years of driving experience. Miss Tan can rest assured when riding in his car to Taipei. Allen opened an umbrella and handed it to Tan Qing

The face behind the sunglasses remained indifferent. Tan Qing frowned secretly, just as she was about to give up, the man named Allen had already stood up and walked towards the back row

He did not speak, yet without waiting for the car to start, he turned and walked into the rain

The rain had just stopped, and Tan Qing slowly walked into the hospital gate after thanking Zhou Dao.

The LCD screen at the intersection is scrolling weather updates: "Thunderstorm warning ... ... Heavy rain warning ... ... Earthquake ... ... "

"Who are you to Ji Lang?" asked the plump nurse, holding the surgical notification, as she inquired of Tan Qing

Tan Qing wondered, is it merely because she has fallen in love with another man? No, she loves Jiang Yuanyao, has never regretted it, and it has never been a mistake

The rain poured down, and he was completely soaked, but the long-lost enthusiasm filled him with strength. He did not dwell on the grievances of the past few years, nor did he consider whether she knew his identity, because at this moment, he was Jiang Yuanyao—about to open his arms and embrace his lover, whom he had been separated from for six years, tightly in his embrace.

Even though his voice was somewhat muffled by the mask, after hearing him complete the sentence, Tan Qing's whole body began to tremble slightly

To wait for the right moment to escape is the proper course of action! Who would have thought that after several years he would return, perhaps to seek revenge on me

Cancer! Her heart suddenly sank to the bottom, almost unable to believe her ears: How could someone as strong as Ji Lang have cancer?

His voice was calm, yet it brought Tan Qing back to her senses from the shock. She covered her mouth, tears welling in her eyes but not daring to fall, wanting to call out his name loudly, yet fearing rejection. ... She was afraid it would be like the last time she saw him, when she fully expected him to exchange a few pleasantries with her, only to be met with the coldness of a stranger as they brushed past each other ...

I apologize! Tan Qing walked up to him, smiling humbly, "Could you please switch seats with that lady?"

It is him, it must be him

In the late spring season, the howling wind was frighteningly strong, rushing in through the window and causing chills to run down one's spine. Before long, the rain began to pour down in a heavy patter.

Another tremor shook the ground as if it were enraged, emitting a low rumble. Accompanying this were the attachments on the buildings—glass, light boxes, flower pots, billboards, and so on, all shaking violently. Suddenly, a swaying billboard cracked and fell rapidly, landing precisely where Tan Qing had just stood.

Allen's long fingers lightly tapped on the white porcelain teacup as he smiled and said, "Miss Tan, what do you want to say? Are you confirming whether I am your former boyfriend?"

The two characters "husband and wife" left her feeling utterly desolate, as she tightly gripped her phone, as if she were trying to crush that thin layer of screen.

Tan Qing did not listen to the news, nor did she have the time to pay attention to the atmosphere around her. She stood by the roadside next to an abandoned telephone booth, calling Jiang Yuanyao.

Tan Qing decisively refused. She glanced around the car and took a deep breath: "May I ask if anyone here can drive a minibus?"

Ding—! The sharp and piercing sound of the alarm clock shattered the suffocating inquiries. Tan Qing suddenly sat up from the bed, reached out to turn off the clock, and her blurred vision swept around the room. It took her another ten seconds for her brain to slowly start functioning before she clearly understood her situation

Tan Qing's eyes were stung by a wave of emotion. In the next moment, Ji Lang had already opened his arms and firmly embraced her.

"No, no." Tan Qing raised her head, but inadvertently caught sight of his bare chest. Feeling nervous, she lowered her head, yet her gaze fell upon the lower half of his body wrapped in a bath towel, causing her cheeks to instantly flush like fire. "I’m sorry! You didn’t go to lunch, so I came to check on you. Thank you for today..."

As soon as Tan Qing's voice fell, there was a loud "thud" sound, and Master Cheng, who was nearly fifty years old, slipped and fell to the ground, subsequently covering his ankle and crying out in pain

At the corner of Fourth Street, Jiang Yuanyao spotted a familiar figure, prompting Zhou Zhou to stop the car as she strode into the rain-soaked street.

He is still the same as he was back then, only no one has mentioned it, no one has brought it to light

After signing, the surgery began. Tan Qing sat in the corridor, gazing out at the rain-soaked night, deep in thought, wondering what Jiang Yuanyao was doing at that very moment

Aunt Yao! She interrupted her sharply, "I said there is no time, what about him? He is no longer my concern!"

She slightly shifted her gaze and said, "I apologize, I was just a bit startled when I suddenly saw your appearance."

Tan Qing stood by, watching the medical staff lift the unconscious Ji Lang onto the hospital bed for treatment, a buzzing sound ringing in her ears, her mind blank...

Ji Lang ... ... '' She looked at his slightly trembling back, feeling a bit worried. However, he turned around, beads of sweat the size of soybeans forming on his forehead, smiling faintly and gently: `` It's raining heavily outside, I'll help you borrow an umbrella from the nurse's station ... ... ''

Oh no! She is rambling! It's only because he resembles that person, yet she has lost her composure to this extent. If it really is him, how should I respond?

"The surgery went smoothly, but the patient may not wake up for another two hours," a doctor said, wiping the sweat from his forehead and looking at the pale-faced Tan Qing. "You can take this opportunity to rest for a while; the ICU patients are all attended to by caregivers."

"Ji Lang! Ji Lang!" Tan Qing shouted in fright, "Someone! Doctor, the patient has fainted!"

The ground began to shake, and the footsteps resembled the unsteady gait of someone who had been drinking. Around her, there were sounds of objects falling from a height and hitting the ground. Tan Qing heard a shout, suddenly looked up, and through her tear-filled eyes, she saw his figure, thinking she was dreaming

Once, he was her sunshine

I finally waited for you, fortunately, I did not give up

The man's voice pulled her drifting thoughts back to reality: "It seems you intend to treat me to a meal?" He leaned against the door, revealing a smile that could captivate anyone.

The person across sat quietly, and a trace of unperceived emotion surfaced in their originally cold eyes. However, before that flicker of feeling could fully ripple through their heart, a sudden phone ringtone shattered the tranquility

Tan Qing answered the phone, and a long-unheard female voice sounded in her ear: "Is this Qingqing? I am Aunt Yao"

Is that his feelings for a woman that have been dormant for five years

Once, she regarded Ji Lang as a ray of sunshine in her life. From the age of nine to eighteen, during those eight years, they were as close as siblings and as intimate as best friends, and she was willing to share all her little secrets with him. Even later, when he went abroad for further studies, he remained the warmest and most reassuring belief of her youth

The meal was consumed hastily and lacked flavor. When Tan Qing got up to settle the bill, the waiter informed her that it had already been paid, and that person had long been standing outside the door, lost in thought as he gazed at the drizzling rain.

The winding droplets of water flowed down the glass window, forming blurred shapes. Tan Qing raised her eyes to glance at the man in the back row; he remained in the same posture as before, resembling a statue.

Tan Qing straightened her back and spoke softly: "Yes, I love him. For all these years, I have been waiting for him."

She scanned the list of visitors and called out to the car, "Is Mr. Allen Su here?"

Tan Qing found it impossible to remain still; she could not help but step forward into the rain, tears and raindrops intertwining on her face, warm and cold. Soon, they were about to embrace on the unfamiliar streets of Taipei

The umbrella was left behind at the hospital, and Tan Qing had no choice but to stand at the entrance of a supermarket to avoid the rain. The sign above her head trembled and emitted a dangerous warning, yet she was completely unaware of it at that moment

She was lost in thought. In the blink of an eye, she was not far from Keelung, yet the sky gradually darkened, and distant rumbles of thunder echoed in the horizon

"You have returned! How wonderful... After all these years, you have finally come to see me!" Ji Lang murmured to himself, with tears glistening in the corners of his eyes.

She remembers that his room number is this

Yao Xue's voice faded away, but the pain brought by that name lingered for a long time. It was like a thorn; she had thought it had been deeply buried and melted away by the flesh and blood of time, but when it was suddenly mentioned by someone, she realized that the thorn had always been lodged within her body.

At that moment, Jiang Yuanyao had just gotten into Zhou Zhou's car when he saw the news—an earthquake warning in Taipei. In Taipei, minor earthquakes occur occasionally, so it is not particularly unusual. However, he still felt quite anxious, as if during the years they had been apart, every time he saw reports of disasters happening somewhere in the world, he would inexplicably worry and silently pray that she would not be unfortunate enough to be there.

Tan Qing made every effort to avoid casting a longing glance at him, yet the couple kept shaking their heads. At that moment, the familiar scent of fresh grass wafted by, and the man walked directly to the driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, engaged the handbrake, and softly said: "Everyone, please fasten your seatbelts, we will arrive safely in Keelung"

The hour hand pointed to 7:30. Tan Qing hurriedly got out of bed, and after washing up and putting on makeup, it was already 7:50. Taking the small yellow flag that read "Jingmei Travel Agency" from the corner, Tan Qing grabbed a bottle of milk, turned on the radio on her phone, tuned to her usual channel, and dashed into the elevator

The man did not turn around, but his footsteps stopped between two rows of seats. Tan Qing realized her abruptness, but the confusion in her heart still prompted her to speak: "Mr. Allen, may I know... your Chinese name?"

Tan Qing paused her hand as she was flipping through the menu, slowly raised her eyes, and finally looked at him: "What a coincidence, my ex-boyfriend was also in this line of work!" After a brief pause, her gaze fixed intently on him, "Moreover, you look... exactly like him!"

She said softly, "It is me. Aunt Yao, is there something you need?"

Twenty-eight tourists, twenty-five of whom are elderly individuals over the age of sixty, while the remaining three consist of a couple and... that person named Allen

Media

She carefully observed his expression, that handsome face, flawless to the point of perfection, still maintained an impeccable smile, without a trace of shock or surprise

The luxurious minibus at the entrance had the prominent words "Tanqing VIP Group" displayed in large letters. Tanqing, holding a yellow sun hat, was counting the number of people boarding the bus while saying, "Twenty-six, twenty-seven ... one less?"

Tan Qing glanced at Ji Lang and felt a slight sense of relief. Once he was taken to the hospital room, she quietly left the hospital and arrived at the now desolate street.

She is a precious pearl in his heart, yet she has never cared

In an instant, Tan Qing seemed to have returned to six years ago

At lunchtime, Tan Qing did not see Allen, so she went upstairs to the guest room department and knocked on the door of room 201

As the man passed by her, a faint scent of grass emanating from him suddenly made Tan Qing's mind jolt. She instinctively called out to him: "Wait!"

With a loud crash and a violent jolt, the vehicle suddenly came to a halt. The driver, Master Cheng, opened the window, leaned out to take a look, and exclaimed, "Oh no, the car is stuck!"

"The umbrella was given to me, aren't you going back to the hotel?" said the man with his hands in his pockets, in a nonchalant manner

Half an hour later, the tour group arrived at the hotel in Keelung. Tan Qing received the notification that the scenic area was closed due to rain, and the tourists would temporarily rest at the hotel

If a celebrity wishes to travel, they are unlikely to join a senior sightseeing group like the one she brought along, so the first possibility is not very likely. She can almost conclude that this person is not here for sightseeing... So what exactly is their specific purpose...

He stood there, his tall and upright figure coinciding perfectly with the person in her memory. However, he did not speak, nor was he willing to reveal his true identity; from just an unrelated English name, it was impossible to confirm that he was indeed that person

Soon, nurses and doctors rushed into the ward, and a young nurse exclaimed: "The condition was quite stable just now, what has triggered this..."

Ji Lang once said, as long as I am behind you, you need not fear anything

Tan Qing anxiously called the driver, but no one was willing to take the risk of hitting the road in the heavy rain. Master Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, I will hold on a little longer; we are only a few kilometers away from Keelung."

He finally laid down his arms, turned his back, and rested his arms on the windowsill of the ward, while no one noticed the beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolling down his tightly furrowed brow

As soon as the words fell, a loud "bang" was heard, and a flowerpot fell from the sky, smashing into the car's front windshield. Zhou Zhou cursed softly and hurriedly got out of the car. After confirming that the window was intact, he quickly wiped the glass clean and got back in, saying with concern: "President Gu, there is a tremor!"

Tan Qing suddenly recalled six years ago when she went to see the newly released "2012" with Jiang Yuan Yao. She asked Jiang Yuan Yao what he would do if the apocalypse really came. To this day, she remembers his answer: "Then I would hold your hand and die together."

Little did he know that as soon as he took a step, his body stumbled, and then he fell straight down like a tree.

The atmosphere was tense. Tan Qing was momentarily at a loss for what to do. After a while, she said softly, "I will go see the doctor." As she turned to leave, her arm was suddenly yanked hard by someone. In the next moment, Ji Lang's handsome face, slightly pale with anger, was right in front of her: "Are you leaving just like this? Qingqing, have you... not forgotten him yet?"

She is dressed in the latest Dior fashion of the season from Paris, adorned with the trendy Korean makeup, dragging a GUCCI suitcase, traversing the world from the St. Peter's Church in Zurich to the Champs-Élysées in Paris, from Mount Fuji in Tokyo to the Phu Phing Palace in Chiang Mai, her footsteps landing on every inch of unfamiliar land with beautiful scenery, encountering and bidding farewell to every vivid yet unfamiliar face.

At the elevator entrance stood a man, tall and slender, dressed in a black trench coat, wearing a mask and sunglasses, wrapped up tightly. As Tan Qing exited the elevator, he slightly turned to the side, turning his face away.

Allen seemed not to have heard her words, and walked directly to the back row, patiently waiting for the elderly lady who was feeling carsick to get out of her seat before sitting down in the last row, turning his head to look out the window

Tan Qing

His car drove towards National Taiwan University Hospital, but there, he did not find her. Upon exiting the hospital, he began to call Tan Qing, but the line was always busy. He angrily threw his phone onto the seat and said to the driver, Zhou Zhou, "Find her."

"A friend is not sufficient." The nurse glanced at her and said, "The patient just mentioned that you are his ex-wife. An ex-wife can also sign, is that correct?" Her gaze was fixed on her from behind her round glasses. Tan Qing felt a wave of sweat break out all over her body and replied, "Yes... I am Ji Lang's ex-wife"

The heavy rain poured down as if it would submerge the entire world at any moment

Yet every night spent in a foreign land, she weeps bitterly in her dreams. Upon waking, a profound sense of desolation and loneliness seeps into her bones, as the memories of the past replay in her mind over and over again, and in each frame, there is the silent face of Jiang Yuanyao.

Aunt Yao? Yao Xue? A woman who cannot truly love or hate throughout her life

Tan Qing regained her composure, took an umbrella from behind the car door, and got out to inspect the situation. She noticed that the right front wheel of the passenger vehicle was stuck in a large puddle in the middle of the road

Yet doubt was buried deep within her heart

Jiang Lang is ill and is currently at Zhongshan Hospital in Taipei. I heard that you went to Taiwan this time, and I want to ... ...

The door was gently closed, and Tan Qing's heart nearly leaped out of her chest: he was so gentle, and in the glance he cast back at her, it seemed as if he had hidden a myriad of starlight.

A financial news report was being broadcasted in the headphones: "ZING Media went public on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday..." Tan Qing was momentarily taken aback: ZING...? Isn't that his company?

If you must go, I can help you call a car

Tan Qing's heart was as wet and cold as the rain outside the window. She wanted to find Jiang Yuan Yao, yet she was also worried about Ji Lang's surgery, leaving her in a state of deep conflict. Time passed slowly, and thunder rumbled in the distance. Finally, the lights in the operating room went out, and several nurses wheeled the intoxicated Ji Lang out.

No, that is not the case... Tan Qing shook her head sadly, the past events felt like poisonous thorns, deeply embedded in her heart, pulling at every part of her being, and any touch would bring unbearable pain

On the other end of the phone, there was a long silence, and after a while, a deep sigh was heard: "Alright... you are busy! I apologize for the interruption, Auntie!"

"Tan Qing, are you happy?" He asked repeatedly, like the distant sound of a bell knocking on the door of the heart

Tan Qing gazed at him silently with a pair of tearful, watery eyes filled with sorrow

This is not the first time Tan Qing has encountered such a situation; she is doing her best to soothe the emotions of the tourists and has promised to arrange even more exciting programs

The distance from the nurse's station to the ward is not far, yet Tan Qing took a long time to walk there. The corridor of the inpatient area is relatively quiet, and the ward where Ji Lang is located is even quieter. After much contemplation, she finally pushed the door open, imagining what he looks like now

Throughout the journey, the thunder roared and lightning flashed, yet Zhou's car drove steadily. Tan Qing gazed out at the dim world beyond the glass window, reminiscing about the bits and pieces of the past years.

The rain began to fall again, though he did not know when. The man across the way gazed at the woman before him, now fully matured. Listening to her on the phone, he watched as she still suffered and grieved for that person after six years, and his own heart echoed as it plunged into an endless darkness

She does not dare to hope

The engine emitted a tremendous roar, and after the bus violently jolted twice, it finally surged out of the puddle, prompting an enthusiastic cheer from within the vehicle. However, Tan Qing seemed dazed, fixated on that person with a blank stare

A handsome face, damp and unadorned, appeared before her eyes without any concealment

Tan Qing gazed at him, her eyes cold. She did not speak, nor did she struggle, allowing him to hold her tightly in his embrace—despite the intimate posture and the close distance, their hearts were separated by a vast chasm.

Abandon the past, live freely and easily, dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse

But why has everything changed as I have grown up

The attending physician stated that although it is stomach cancer, it is fortunate that it was discovered early. If surgery can be performed promptly to remove a portion of the stomach, his life can still be saved. However, due to the sudden deterioration of his condition, the hospital decided to proceed with surgery immediately. At that moment, there were no other relatives by Ji Lang's side, the only family member present was Tan Qing

The driver sprained his ankle, leaving a car full of people stranded in the pouring rain on the road.

Jiang Yuanyao shouted while walking, "Stand there and do not move!"

In such bad weather, I fear you won't be able to catch a cab until dawn. The raindrops soaked his hair, and the glistening water beads reflected his indifferent expression. Tan Qing awkwardly climbed into the car, saying, "Thank you"

I heard that you are ill! Tan Qing gently broke free from that enthusiastic confinement, but her gaze was directed elsewhere

A fleeting shadow passed through his eyes. The corners of his lips slightly curled, smiling with a somber tone: "So, Miss Tan, what was the reason for your breakup with your boyfriend? Did you fall in love with another man and then heartlessly abandon him?"

"I am going to Taipei, I can just call a car from here and leave." As she spoke, she waved her hand in the rain. However, amidst the pouring rain, not a single taxi stopped for her.

What does Mr. Su do for a living? Since he goes by the alias Allen Su, it should be correct to refer to him as Mr. Su.

She inquired at the nurse's station about Ji Lang's hospital room and casually asked, "What illness does he have?"

Many years later, Tan Qing finally became the person she had always wanted to be

Two people stood at the entrance of the restaurant, sheltering from the rain. Tan Qing saw him make a phone call, and within five minutes, a black car slowly approached and came to a stop in front of them

Today's itinerary is from Taipei to Keelung. The minibus started, and Tan Qing picked up the microphone, skillfully introducing herself and the driver, explaining the cultural history of each scenic spot, interspersed with some jokes. She spared no effort in energizing the atmosphere, striving to alleviate the monotony and fatigue of the tourists' journey

"What are you here for?" He was tall, looking down at her with a smile, yet his eyes were filled with exhaustion. "You know I am about to die, so you came to see me off?" He forced a smile, but his gaze was extremely serious. "Five years have passed, and you still haven't let go? Had I known this would happen, I should not have allowed you to make that choice back then." He sat down on the hospital bed, gently turning his head away. "I am fine, you can go now!" "Five years have passed, and you still haven't let go? Had I known this would happen, I should not have allowed you to make that choice back then." He sat down on the hospital bed, gently turning his head away. "I am fine, you can go now!"

However, she knocked for a long time without receiving a response. She leaned in to listen and heard the sound of a television inside, indicating that someone was home. Therefore, she rang the doorbell again and knocked on the door once more. Finally, after her persistent efforts, the door slowly opened.

At this moment, Tan Qing was almost certain that he was the one, for otherwise, which man in the world could possess such a bright and captivating smile

"We have arrived." A deep male voice sounded in her ear. Tan Qing turned her head to see the man in the mask whom she had encountered at the elevator entrance. She lowered her head to glance at the list and recalled that he was a tourist added by the travel agency last night, using an English name, perhaps from Taipei

The embarrassment of being ignored did not make Tan Qing feel angry; she simply stared at that face, somewhat puzzled. Since they were out traveling, why would this person dress up like someone encased in a shell? ... It was evident that this person was either a celebrity or was trying to disguise themselves to avoid being recognized by certain individuals ...

Is the feeling of betrayal pleasurable

However, now faced with her astonished expression that was almost out of control, the man opposite calmly picked up the white towel from his shoulder and wiped his face, raising his cool eyebrows: "Staring at the body of the opposite sex like this, do you not think it is impolite?"

The hotel lobby was filled with tourists from the sightseeing group. Tan Qing quickly ran over, smiling as she clapped her hands: "Let's take attendance, is everyone here?"

stomach cancer

Observing her anxious expression, a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth: "The meteorological station has just issued a thunderstorm and heavy rain warning. Miss Tan braving such heavy rain to go to Taipei must be for someone very important, right"

She is like a fish swept into the sea by a swift current, happily saying in a daze: "Yes, there is a tea restaurant next door, if you don't mind..."

She murmured, "I have never truly loved a man, except for him..."

"President Jiang, be careful!" Zhou Zhou shouted from behind.

Tan Qing!" Jiang Yuanyao shouted, extending his arm with all his strength, desperately pushing her away

Tan Qing's tears splashed out together with the rainwater

Qingqing, my health... it has become very difficult for me to go out now. He is undergoing surgery alone in Taipei, and I truly cannot rest easy. Considering the bond you two share as a couple...

At the very least, this is the life she is currently satisfied with

Dressed in a snow-white garment, with short black hair. In an instant, she was transported back to the past, when she was nine and he was fourteen, the bright youth who accompanied her during those lonely times.

The first time she saw him, she also felt a slight dizziness, as if a dazzling sun had appeared before her.

He was willing to die with her, yet he could not walk this long journey of life with her

He said with displeasure, "Are you implying that I look frightening?"

What can one do upon seeing Jiang Yuanyao? The past, after all, cannot be returned to.

Just as I was thinking, with a "ding," the elevator doors opened, and I had arrived at the first floor

This is a fast-food style establishment, and the meal time has already passed, with only a few people in the restaurant. Tan Qing found a quiet seat by the window and invited Allen to join her. He smiled slightly and, in a gentlemanly manner, asked her to take a seat first

It seemed as if he had not heard her words; Ji Lang reached out and gently caressed her cheek, his tone filled with compassion: "You have lost weight! Have these years not treated you well..."

"Qingqing?" A voice gently sounded behind her. Due to the overwhelming uncertainty, even the surprise was cautious. Tan Qing turned her head and saw the long-missed Ji Lang.

Seeing him leaning against the windowsill, rigid and silent, Tan Qing felt a pang of compassion in her heart: "I don't mean anything else by saying this! Please take good care of yourself. During your time in the hospital, I will come to see you often"

Pushing open the door, the single patient room is clean and tidy, completely empty. She walks in and sees on the condition card by the window: Ji Lang, thirty-two years old, stomach cancer

Yet, despite the continuous peaks of joy, there was an elderly lady in the back row who kept shouting that she felt dizzy. Tan Qing took care of her, giving her water and motion sickness medication, but the elderly lady insisted on moving to the front row. Tan Qing awkwardly surveyed the other passengers, her gaze ultimately landing on the man wearing sunglasses.

Please wait for me for five minutes, I will come as soon as I get dressed
