Chapter 23 Children
Lin Chenan's condition stabilized. Not only that, he opened his eyes and was able to recognize people.

Song Xueying was overjoyed, but she didn't dare let Lin Chenan see the ring on her hand, for fear that it would irritate him and make his condition worse.

Lin Chenan lay on the hospital bed, trying hard to force a smile and said: "Ai Ai, will you always be with me?"

Song Xueying's eyes were red and tears were shining in them. She nodded gently.

Lin Chenan had the car accident because of her. They had known each other since they were six years old. The emotions accumulated over the years were not easy to dissipate, so she did not want to provoke Lin Chenan. She hoped that he could be healthy, safe, and live a happy life.

Lin Chenan looked sad, "Is he good to you?"

Song Xueying replied softly: "He treats me very well."

"That... is good." Lin Chenan said weakly. The calmer his tone, the more painful he felt in his heart.

Song Xueying has been with him for so many years, so she can naturally sense his true emotions.

Lin Chenan is an orphan and has to rely on himself for everything. Song Xueying's mother knows how hard life would be without money, so she firmly disagrees with Song Xueying and Lin Chenan being together.

Song Xueying once thought that as long as she and Lin Chenan persisted, they would be able to achieve happiness, but the pressure of reality gave them a wake-up call.

After graduating from college, they officially entered the society. They were under great pressure from mortgages, car loans, living expenses... Sometimes quarrels were inevitable. After the scandal between Song Xueying and the company's president came out, their relationship changed.

Even though Lin Chenan believed that Song Xueying would not betray him, this incident did make them both see clearly the cruelty of the real world, and they would not be soft-hearted just because they were a couple who truly loved each other.

So they finally broke up.

But Lin Chenan has always been in love with Song Xueying.

He looked at Song Xueying's current appearance. She looked much more haggard. It must be because she had been taking care of him day and night. Suppressed emotions surged in his heart, and he held Song Xueying's hand.

Song Xueying raised her eyes, tears still in them.

At this moment, a figure passed by the door.

Song Xueying looked up and saw Fu Jun in a white coat. She quickly withdrew her hand. She awkwardly wanted to explain a few words to Fu Jun, hoping not to let Gu Chuan misunderstand her. But Fu Jun just smiled friendly and left.

Song Xueying felt uneasy and remembered the things she had not had time to throw away. After accompanying Lin Chenan to sleep, she arrived home before Gu Chuan came home from get off work.

The sundries piled up in the room were still there, but Song Xueying looked around and couldn't find the cardboard box.

She suddenly had a very strong bad premonition in her heart, and she became more impatient when searching for things on the ground.

"What are you looking for?"

Song Xueying's body froze. She turned around and saw Gu Chuan standing at the door.

I don't know how long he stood there or how long he looked. He still had the same calm eyes and gentle expression, but Song Xueying felt for no reason that Gu Chuan seemed to have changed a little.

She didn't dare to ask Gu Chuan if he took the box. She could only stand up and smiled awkwardly, "I thought I came back early today, so I wanted to get rid of all these unwanted things."

Gu Chuan asked: "You came back early today. Is Lin Chen'an feeling better?"

"Yes, he has woken up, but the doctor said that he is too weak and needs to be nourished, so I plan to make some soup for him tomorrow." Song Xueying carefully observed Gu Chuan's expression, trying to see some displeasure on his face. But Gu Chuan turned around and untied his tie, and only said "hmm" faintly.

Song Xueying quickly walked up to him again, stretched out her hand to take over the job of untying his tie, and took off his coat for him, "If you don't feel unhappy, I will..."

"It doesn't matter." Gu Chuan said calmly: "I know he is your only friend."

Song Xueying's mother was someone else's mistress. Before she started dating Gu Chuan, she was not recognized by her father. Therefore, she had been looked down upon since she was a child. Only Lin Chenan was different and was willing to be friends with her.

So Lin Chenan certainly has a special meaning to Song Xueying.

Song Xueying should have been happy that her fiancé understood her, but for some reason, she couldn't be happy.

The smell of tobacco was stronger than before. Song Xueying raised her head and said, "Are you smoking again?"

He replied: "I smoked a few cigarettes to perk myself up."

When Song Xueying first met Gu Chuan, Gu Chuan also liked to smoke, but she didn't like the smell of cigarettes. After they were together, she never smelled the smell of cigarettes on Gu Chuan. However, in recent days, the smell of tobacco on Gu Chuan has been getting stronger day by day.

Gu Chuan said: "I'm sorry, you don't like the smell, I'll go take a shower first."

Song Xueying suddenly became happy again because of his words.

Gu Chuan did not work overtime today, and Lin Chenan was out of danger again. Song Xueying rarely let go of the pressure in her heart. Before going to bed, she felt a little moved, and she rarely suppressed her shyness and took the initiative to kiss the man next to her.

Gu Chuan has always had a good temper and would indulge her in everything.

Song Xueying mustered up the courage to hold down Gu Chuan's hand that was reaching for the condom, and said with a blushing face: "Gu Chuan, we are about to get married. Didn't you say before that you wanted a daughter? Let's work hard together, okay?"

As she said this, the air in the bedroom, which had been filled with a warm and romantic atmosphere, dropped to freezing point.

Song Xueying didn't know what was going on. Why did the eagerness in the man's eyes disappear without a trace in an instant?

After a moment, Gu Chuan smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered that I still have an email to reply to. You go to bed first and don't have to wait for me."

He stood up and left the bedroom.

Song Xueying looked at his disappearing back in a daze, and the bad feeling in her heart spread more and more strongly.

The moonlight is very beautiful tonight, and the night lights in the city outside the window are still brightly on. Even if the lights are not turned on, there are still spots of light that can illuminate everything in the lifeless space.

Sometimes, Gu Chuan also hated the dazzling light that illuminated everything too clearly, leaving no room for hiding and allowing himself the opportunity to pretend not to know.

He sat quietly in the chair, staring at the cardboard box in front of him for a long time.

The school uniform he wore when he graduated at the age of eighteen was well preserved, except for the scribblings on it that had faded a little. But the strange thing was that the more the color faded, the clearer his memory of that period became.

That year, all the graduating students were as lively as crazy.

She also became more lively. She imitated other girls and pulled him aside. She wrote her name on his school uniform and drew a pink heart on it. She proudly told him, "This way everyone knows you are my boyfriend."
