The time of the city

In the evening, when Mo Yu was halfway upstairs, she turned to Ni Jiamu who was reading a magazine downstairs and asked, "Brother, are you going to the company tomorrow?"

"Yes, if you want me to stay home with you, I can take a day off."

"No need, brother. I'll wait for you at home." Mo Yu stuck out her tongue, turned around, and ran upstairs again. Looking at the girl's playful and cute back, Ni Jiamu's eyes were full of intoxicating tenderness.

Back in the room, Mo Yu quickly showered and got into bed. As long as Ni Jiamu was going out tomorrow, she could go find Xiao Hecheng again. She had to go to bed quickly because she had to get up early tomorrow.

In City A, Yueyue's condition worsened significantly last night, so her surgery was forced to be moved up. Their surgery was scheduled for the first surgery in the morning.

Upon receiving the news, Xiao Kai took a leave of absence and rushed to the hospital, just in time to see Xiao Xuyang being wheeled into the operating room. He grabbed the stretcher and held Xiao Xuyang's withered hand tightly. "Xuyang promised his brother that he would come out alive."

"It's okay, brother, just donate your bone marrow." Xiao Xuyang also held Xiao Kai's hand and looked up at him straight. He was not sure whether he could walk out of the operating room alive. He knew his own body.

Now every moment he could see Xiao Kai was a blessing, for he was afraid that he would never see him again.

Someone once said that we must take every farewell in life seriously. There are too many changes in the world, and one meeting may be the last in our life.

However, Xiao Xuyang didn't dare to say goodbye to Xiao Kai directly like this, because he knew he wouldn't be able to bear it.

"Family members, the operation is about to begin, please do not waste time." The nurse on the side reminded.

"Brother, let go." Xiao Xuyang pulled his hand away. Xiao Kai just watched Xiao Xuyang being slowly pushed into the operating room, and finally the door of the operating room was closed.

While administering anesthesia, Xiao Xuyang saw Yueyue lying unconscious across from him. Her face was pale and devoid of her usual expression. She looked so fragile at this moment.

"The doctor must do his best to treat him."

"Don't worry, we will do our best to treat every patient."

The doctor slowly pushed the anesthetic needle into Xiao Xuyang's body. His eyes were always looking in the direction of the girl until he finally lost consciousness.

"My light, you must live well."

Yueyue's father and Xiao Kai waited anxiously at the operating room door, their expressions constantly changing. They wished they were the ones being wheeled into the operating room; these few short hours were incredibly agonizing for them.

They no longer remembered how long they had been waiting. The lights in the operating room finally went out, and the doctor came out. The two men hurried forward to greet him.

"How is Xuyang?" "How is my daughter?" they asked almost at the same time.

"Congratulations to Yueyue's father. The operation was very successful. It depends on how Yueyue's body adapts to the situation. In short, we are very optimistic." The doctor's face was also full of joy.

"Where is Xuyang?" Xiao Kai asked hurriedly. He only cared about his younger brother.

When asked, the doctor's eyes dimmed, "Xiao Xuyang is already suffering from a terminal illness, and now he has donated bone marrow. Well, go and see him for the last time." After saying that, the doctor turned and left.

Xiao Kai dragged his heavy steps into the operating room and walked towards Xiao Xuyang, who was dying on the bed. When he noticed Xiao Kai's arrival, he tried to open his eyes.

"Brother, it's great to see you again."

"Xuyang, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have agreed to your bone marrow donation." Xiao Kai knelt on the ground, holding Xiao Xuyang's hand with both hands and pressing it against his forehead. Tears dripped down Xiao Xuyang's arm and onto the bed.

"Brother, I insisted on doing this myself. I just regret that I can't watch you grow old. One day a long time ago, I imagined our old age. We were no longer the sunshine at sunrise, and the sunset in the evening was more like our old faces. At that time, we would talk with our children and grandchildren about which cat had given birth and what we would eat soon.

But I can't be with you now, but you have to be happy for me. I'm going to find my parents. I'm just going to prepare my home for the next life in advance. I'll be your big brother in the next life."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Kai's hand slipped down and fell to the side. The electrocardiograph machine began to beep, and the zigzag line on it turned into a straight line. His brother fell into a deep sleep.

A painful roar burst out from Xiao Kai's throat. He was really the only one left in this world. The autumn wind took away Xiao Xuyang, but gave him the eternal end of winter.

After a long time, Xiao Kai finally walked out of the operating room. Yueyue's father walked straight towards him and knelt down in front of him. "Thank you for your brother saving my daughter. Thank you too. I will do my best to help you with anything you need."

"Nothing is needed. My brother is dead." Xiao Kai walked around him and headed towards Xiao Xuyang's ward.

When he opened the door of the ward, the boy was no longer on the bed. The room was quiet, as if he had never existed. Only then did Xiao Kai deeply realize that Xiao Xuyang had really left and would not come back.

The moment Xiao Xuyang left, he was not particularly sad, but when he saw the neatly folded quilt and his drinking cup, he realized that he was really gone. Who would drink the chicken soup he made in the future?

He thought he would never have to get up early to go to the market to buy the best ingredients again. He thought he would never have to study various recipes again. He realized belatedly that Xiao Xuyang was no longer in this world. No matter what he did, he would never come back.

He walked forward firmly, not giving him the chance to catch up with him. He would wave his hand and say: I'm leaving, no need to chase me.

The things in the ward had already been packed up. It turned out that Xiao Xuyang had already anticipated this result. He was thinking about him until the end, thinking that after the things were packed up, he would feel more relaxed.

There were two letters on the table, one was addressed to him and the other had Yang Hanyue's name written on the cover. Xiao Kai opened the letter addressed to him.

elder brother:

When you see this letter, I will have already gone to another beautiful world. Don’t feel sad for me, because I have gone to find my parents.

You asked if my parents would be happy to see me. I think they would be. I haven't seen them for a long time, and I'm afraid if I don't go, I won't remember what they look like.

I'm sorry, brother. I have never worn the new clothes you bought for me. I have resisted all your kindness to me, so please forgive me.

And brother, don't be so submissive and follow Qiao Zhengrong. Go to a place where no one knows you and live a good life. I feel very sorry that I couldn't see my beautiful and gentle sister-in-law, nor could I hug my lovely nephews and nieces, but it doesn't matter. I will bless you in heaven.

Also, brother, I want you to do me one last favor and give the other letter to Yueyue. There is something else in the drawer, so please give it to him as well.

Brother, I have always been by your side. It doesn’t matter if I leave. In thousands of lives, I will keep coming back to be your friend, your food, your roadside grass, the wind blowing on your face... We keep meeting each other.

By the end, Xiao Kai was crying uncontrollably, and his tears stained the words on the paper bit by bit.

"Xuyang, I promise you."
