She's waiting for me there.

Chapter 318 Jiang Miaoke (11) Selfish

On May 5, I looked at myself in the mirror and a long-lost smile appeared on my face again.

I finally don’t have to wear that baseball cap anymore, and my skin feels better than before I got sick. Although my stomach still aches a little, it doesn’t matter anymore.

I came to the dilapidated temple again, and Taoist Baimei was already waiting there.

This time he didn't take out the pills, but a jade token.

"Take this. The pills you took stabilize your condition, and this is for your life. When the jade token shatters, your life will also come to an end."

I took the jade token and said with a smile, "Master, can you tell me your purpose now?"

"It's actually very simple. Go back to Ningshan City and help me pass a message to Chen Yun."

"Brother Chen Yun? Sorry, I can't go. Please take this back." I handed over the jade token.

I'm not that selfish. If I go back, Brother Chen Yun will definitely tell Gu Hongfei that I only have a few months to live. With his stubborn personality, he probably hasn't forgotten me over the years.

After seeing me again, he had to face another separation in a few months. He didn't deserve to suffer like this.

The old Taoist smiled and said, "If you don't think about yourself, then at least think about your brother."

I was stunned. What did he mean by that? Was he threatening me? If I didn't go, would he send Jiang Li to the police?

But the old Taoist's next words made my heart skip a beat.

"You two, a pair of star-crossed lovers, shouldn't have to endure so much hardship. I can promise you that one day, somewhere, you will definitely meet again."

"Master, are you... serious?" I asked with trembling lips, covering my heart.

"no sooner said than done."

"One last question, is he...is he married?" I looked at the old Taoist with anticipation in my eyes.

"No."

"Okay, I'll go." I nodded vigorously with tears in my eyes.

Gu Hongfei, I'm sorry. In order to meet you in the future, no matter what, let me be "selfish" for once.

"If you encounter any trouble, you can go find Ning Qinghua. After showing her the jade token, she will definitely help you."

"Got it, thank you, Taoist Priest. I hope I can meet him sooner in my next life."

Taoist Baimei watched me leave and chuckled softly, "Why next life?"

When I walked out of the dilapidated temple, I looked up at the sky again, and suddenly I felt less depressed. Hope, this unfamiliar word, appeared in my mind again.

After arriving home, I told my parents that I wanted to go back to Ningshan City. They didn't ask too many questions and just thought it was their daughter's last wish.

Perhaps they knew in their hearts that no matter what the reason was that made me change back to my previous appearance, it was just a flash in the pan, and the ending would be the same.

When he sent me to the station again, the old man started crying again.

I wiped his tears and said with a smile, "Dad, don't cry. I don't want to see you like this. Our family should live happily at all times."

"Got it, my girl. We'll come find you after Jiang Li finishes the college entrance exam. Remember to call us if you have anything."

I smiled and nodded, then turned and got on the train.

On the way back, I looked up a lot of news about Gu Hongfei, and only then did I know about his recent situation in recent years.

I regret why I have been avoiding this matter. If I had known his information earlier, the ending might be different now.

Then I smiled and shook my head. I shouldn’t think like that. After all, I have completed my "great mission" and Sun Na has started a new life. What else should I be dissatisfied with?

According to the address on the Internet, I found Brother Chen Yun's company. I didn't run to find Gu Hongfei immediately. Even though the old Taoist said that he was not married, I still wanted to confirm it.

When I saw him coming out of the company alone, I admit that my heart was moved again at that moment, and I squatted on the ground and cried my heart out like a loser.

The little yellow-haired boy I had been thinking about day and night has become so handsome. His dream has finally come true and he no longer has to rely on fighting and killing to make a living.

So, I would follow him from a distance every day, or cut out news about him and live broadcast pictures and stick them on the wall. I don’t know why I did this, but just looking at a wall full of him, I would feel inexplicably happy.

During this period, Jiang Li had already applied for Ningshan Medical University. When I learned the news, I understood what the old Taoist said.

It turned out that he was not threatening me, but giving Jiang Li a way out. A plan also came to my mind, a plan that would make me more "selfish".

I asked my parents to tell people in the community not to reveal the news of my illness if anyone asked. The reason was simple: I didn't want relatives and friends to know so as not to worry.

My parents are quite popular in the community, and since every family gave them some eggs or something, they were very cooperative.

During this period of time, I have roughly understood the strength of Brother Chen Yun and Gu Hongfei. If they send someone to investigate me, they will definitely know that I am sick.

Then, during the time I am alive, I may not be able to be carefree with Gu Hongfei.

So, I was very "selfish" and concealed this news. By the time they found out, I might have left this world.

One afternoon, Gu Hongfei walked into the library again. I couldn't help but followed him in and sat opposite him.

"Sorry, there's someone here. Please change seats." He said without raising his head, holding a book in his hand.

"Little yellow-haired boy, you are still so serious." I said casually, but my voice couldn't stop shaking.

He suddenly looked up, and the moment he saw me, he seemed to not believe the fact in front of him, and was speechless for a long time.

After a long time.

"Dangdang!"

The chair fell to the ground, and he rushed over and hugged me, ignoring the surprised looks of the people around him.

"Miao Ke, where have you been? Do you know? I've been looking for you for years. Why don't you come back? Why?"

"Okay, there are so many people watching. My little yellow-haired boy is already the vice president. If others see you, they will laugh at you."

I patted his back to comfort him, and after he calmed down, we left the library and strolled hand in hand on the street, talking about the past years.

I also learned from him that he did not escape from Ningshan City that day and was indeed caught by that group of people. It was Brother Chen Yun who took all the company's money and rescued him single-handedly.

In the next few days, we walked through the streets and alleys together. Every day he would wait for me downstairs as before, and then I would accompany him to work.

But when I saw Ning Qinghua that day, I felt like a bottle of vinegar was overturned in my heart. After all, who would give up the man they like?

So just as I had planned, Jiang Green Tea was launched.

When I first started acting, I was still a little unfamiliar with it, and when I saw Qinghua's angry look, I couldn't stop laughing in my heart. How could there be such a cute girl, who obviously has extremely strong fighting skills, but just sits there angrily, unable to say a word.

I thought that after I made such a fuss, both Brother Chen Yun and Gu Hongfei would go to the southern city to investigate me.

But I still underestimated his love for me. The neighbors over there told me that no one even asked about my situation.

Later, I couldn't bear to see Ning Qinghua heartbroken every day, so I invited her to my home.

When I took out the jade token, she looked at me in surprise.

I told her what happened and took out the medical records and diagnosis reports.

Of course, I concealed the old Taoist's words about meeting in the future, and only told her that I came back for my brother Jiang Li.

That day, she hugged me and cried, saying that she would find the best doctor for me and that she couldn't bear to see me leave this world like this.

I don’t know why Ning Qinghua decided to help me after seeing the jade token. Maybe she and the old Taoist priest have some connection, but that’s not important anymore.

I smiled and patted her on the back. What a silly and cute girl. Isn't she afraid that if she cures me, she will snatch Gu Hongfei away?

After that, we were like best friends, and I stayed with Gu Hongfei every day. That period was also the happiest time of my life in recent years.

I never dared to agree to Gu Hongfei's pursuit, nor did I teach him the whole body.

Actually, I really want to, but I'm also afraid. I'm afraid that my body will have some impact on him and pass on my bad luck to him.

I wrote down the words the old Taoist had entrusted to me on a piece of paper and told Jiang Li to put it inside Brother Chen Yun's clothes when I became seriously ill.

That afternoon, we walked into the cafe again and sat opposite each other, just like when we studied before.

When I turned my head to look at the sky outside, I felt dazed, as if time had gone back to a few years ago.

Same people, same location, same things.

At that time, the little yellow-haired boy probably felt that he was not worthy of me and would often ask me: "Will you really always love me?"

"Of course I will. I always will."

He asked seriously, "How long is forever?"

I looked into his tender eyes and smiled.

"Forever means forever!"

"Even if...we separate in the future!"

"Even if...you forget me in the future!"

"Even if... we meet on the street corner again in the next life, you won't recognize me!"

"I will call out your name without hesitation!"
