Campus Alliance-Never Fall North Star

Shen Jiaqi's face was full of emotion. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked and no sound came out.

The tip of my nose felt very sore and tears welled up in my eyes uncontrollably, as if the emotions that had been pent up for months had found an outlet at this moment.

After a while, those beautiful big eyes were filled with moisture, and the eye sockets were red and watery, like a disturbed spring.

She lowered her eyes, her long and thick eyelashes were wet with crystal drops of water, and she stared at Ren Qifeng intently.

The two of them just stared at each other quietly. The ward was so quiet that only the faint sound of each other's breathing could be heard. Time seemed to stand still at this moment. All words seemed redundant in this affectionate exchange of gazes.

Ren Qifeng was the first to break the silence. He looked at Shen Jiaqi, whose face was covered with tears, and felt very distressed.

He wanted to raise his hand to touch her face and wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes; he wanted to open his arms and hold her tightly to give her the sense of security she had been missing for a long time; he also wanted to say countless apologies to her for making her endure so much worry and fear.

However, at this moment, his whole body seemed to have been drained of strength. He was too limp to move and could only squeeze out a few words from his dry throat: "I'm... sorry, I'm sorry... I kept you waiting for so long, Jiaqi!" His voice was as weak as a gossamer, but it hit Jiaqi's heart hard.

As he spoke, his big hand slowly moved along her wrist and covered the back of her hand. His fingertips unconsciously rubbed the back of her hand lightly. That subtle movement seemed to convey thousands of words.

Shen Jiaqi's body trembled violently as if he was hit by an electric current. The tears that had been accumulating for a long time could no longer be suppressed and flowed down the corners of his eyes.

"He is really awake!" She repeated it over and over in her mind. Before, she thought she was hallucinating, but even if it was an illusion, she did not dare to speak out, for fear of breaking this beautiful illusion.

Shin Jiaqi lifted his hand, placed it to her lips, and kissed it gently over and over again. Her vision was blurred by tears and she couldn't even see his handsome yet haggard face clearly.

She kissed the back of his hand and said with a sob, "I didn't have to wait long. You just need to wake up now!" Her voice was full of relief and joy at surviving the disaster.

Then, Shen Jiaqi could no longer control himself and threw himself into his arms, hugging him tightly, as if he wanted to use this hug to make up for every minute and every second of their separation.

She really couldn't imagine how she had gotten through the past few months.

I stayed by his bed every day, watching him lying motionless. No matter how many caring words I said or how many little details of our daily life I shared, I received no response. The fear and terror are still deeply engraved in my mind.

"I'm really scared. Do you know how worried I am? I'm afraid that you will keep sleeping like this... I'm afraid that I will never be able to talk to you again... I'm afraid that I won't be able to wait for you to come back!"

As Shen Jiaqi spoke, he held his hand tightly with one hand and gently stroked his face with the other hand. The movement was so gentle as if he was touching a rare treasure.

Over the past few months, he had lost weight, his originally angular face had become even thinner, and his whole person looked haggard, which made Shen Jiaqi feel very distressed.

With tears in her eyes, she buried her head on Ren Qifeng's chest, listening to his heartbeat "boom...boom...boom", feeling his real appearance when he woke up, her heart filled with peace of mind and happiness.

Ren Qifeng tried hard to pull the corners of his mouth and said slowly: "Qiqi, I seem to have had a very long dream..."

He paused slightly, his eyes tightly closed, as if he was trying to salvage the fragments of his dream from the depths of his mind. A thin layer of sweat even broke out on his forehead from the effort.

After a long while, he opened his eyes again. His eyes were full of tenderness and attachment, as if he had seen through the reality and returned to that beautiful youthful time. He said slowly, "In my dream, I seemed to be back in NCU. Under the tree on the campus, you were walking towards me with a smile on your face..." As he spoke, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and he was immersed in the sweet memories of the past.

"I saw a lot of people, my parents, my brother; and Song Chen, Lu Yan, Cheng Huan, every one of them was there, and we got together like we used to, talking about our ideals and the future, it was so lively." Ren Qifeng's voice gradually became low, as if he was lost in deep memories. The ward was very quiet, with only his faint voice floating in the air.

"But there were also scenes in the dream that scared me. I saw you walking on the edge of the rooftop alone, in a daze. The wind was blowing, and your hair was blown into a mess. I stood next to you, shouting at you at the top of my lungs, calling your name frantically, but you seemed not to hear me... I was so scared that my heart was in my throat, and every second was extremely painful. I was afraid that you would fall down! ! I know it was a dream... but that kind of fear was extremely real, and it gripped my heart tightly." Ren Qifeng's breathing became rapid, and his face was full of fear.

"In my dream, I can still hear you calling my name. That voice is like a thread, pulling me, but I can't find the way out. It's like I'm surrounded by fog. I'm also scared, afraid that I will never see you again. That feeling of powerlessness is about to drown me."

As Ren Qifeng spoke, his eyes reddened slightly. He reached out and gently held Shen Jiaqi's hand, as if to draw strength from her and confirm that she was truly by his side.

Shen Jiaqi listened, tears already streaming down her face. She gently stroked Ren Qifeng's face with her other hand and said with a sob, "Qifeng, it's all over. I'm here, and I'm fine. From now on, no matter what happens, we will never separate."

Ren Qifeng nodded vigorously, his voice tearing up: "Qiqi, now that you wake up, I will definitely stay with you closely. I won't go anywhere!"

He smiled, twitching the corners of his mouth, that smile showing the relief of surviving a disaster, and asked softly, "I shouldn't have kept you waiting for too long!"

Shen Jiaqi raised her head from his arms, her eyes red from crying, and said with a hint of anger: "You have been sleeping for several months, you know? This is the first day we have a good talk since you rescued me!"

As she spoke, she gently hit his chest and pretended to be angry and said, "If you don't wake up, I'm going to strangle you every day!" Her tone was filled with joy for his awakening, but also complaints about the difficult time of waiting.

"No, no! I won't do it next time!" Ren Qifeng explained quickly, his voice sounding a little hurried due to his weakness. He raised his hand tremblingly, patted her head, and said like coaxing a child: "Don't cry, I'm already in pain, and now seeing you crying, my heart hurts even more!"

As he spoke, he hugged her with both hands, feeling the two of them pressed close together, his heart filled with warmth and peace of mind.

"Children...are they okay?"

"Very good! They are fine now! Lan Da and the others are taking care of them, everything is fine!"

……

The ward suddenly became quiet, with only the wind chimes for praying by the window making the clear sound of "ding dong ding dong" in the breeze, as if sending blessings to the reunited lovers.

For a moment, both of them fell silent.

Shen Jiaqi thought to herself: My child, your father finally woke up, but he didn't seem excited at all, and didn't make any sound! She couldn't wait any longer, so she turned and looked at Ren Qifeng.

Turning around, he saw Ren Qifeng covering his eyes with one hand and crying silently. He bit his lip, the corners of his mouth trembling slightly, and the tears kept flowing from the corners of his eyes, soaking the pillow under him.

Shen Jiaqi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly moved closer, gently took away Ren Qifeng's hand, and asked distressedly: "Qifeng, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Ren Qifeng shook his head slowly, his voice nasal and choked with sobs as he said, "Fortunately I woke up... I will stay with you guys from now on..." As he spoke, tears kept flowing. It was the longing and guilt that had accumulated for countless days and nights, which completely burst out at this moment.

At this moment, even though he did not express his excitement to Shen Jiaqi in words, Ren Qifeng's actions and tears were filled with love.
