Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Nan Zheng chose a nearby hotel to stay in. Duan Jiaxu booked the room and safely escorted her to the door.

"If anything happens, just call me."

Nan Zheng: "Don't worry."

Duan Jiaxu: "Then I'll go back to the hospital first."

Nan Zheng: "Okay, take it easy."

Duan Jiaxu looked at her expectantly: "Good night."

Nan Zheng smiled slightly: "Good night."

After looking at her for a while, Duan Jiaxu turned around and went back.

After Nan Zheng finished washing up, she lay down on the bed to go to sleep.

Duan Jiaxu returned to the hospital and stared blankly at the person on the hospital bed.

Recalling the past, my heart is filled with a deep sense of helplessness.

Suddenly remembering the hug I received today, and Nan Zheng's face, my mood gradually calmed down.

As the sun gradually rose outside the window, Duan Jiaxu dozed off for a while.

At 8:30, he woke up and went out for breakfast.

After finishing our meal, we packed another portion to take to the hotel. We arrived at the hotel entrance around nine o'clock.

I knocked gently on the door and waited a while, but there was no response.

Nan Zheng was fast asleep when she vaguely heard a sound, but she didn't want to pay attention to it.

Duan Jiaxu guessed that she was probably still asleep, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

Xiao Qi reminded: "Host, Duan Jiaxu is at the door."

Nan Zheng: "What time is it?"

Xiao Qi: "It's past nine o'clock."

Nan Zheng got up, cleared her head, and decided to open the door first.

Just as Duan Jiaxu was about to go back and come back later, the door opened.

Nan Zheng, wearing a hotel bathrobe, was a little disheveled and had a low neckline because she had just woken up.

Duan Jiaxu's gaze accidentally fell upon her, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He quickly looked away and looked at her face.

Seeing that the person was still half asleep, he smiled and said, "Sorry to disturb your sleep."

Nan Zheng: "I went to bed late last night and really didn't want to get up."

Duan Jiaxu waved the bag in his hand: "I brought you breakfast."

Nan Zheng: "Thank you. I'll go wash up. Please have a seat for a while."

Duan Jiaxu: "Okay, go ahead."

Nan Zheng went into the bathroom to wash up, and Duan Jiaxu put his things down and pulled back the curtains a little.

The light from outside the window shone in, and the sunlight fell on him, making him feel an indescribable warmth spread throughout his body.

When Nan Zheng came out, she saw him like this: "It seems you've recovered quite well."

Duan Jiaxu nodded: "Yes, I feel much better. You should have breakfast first."

Nan Zheng walked over and sat down. Breakfast included soy milk and steamed buns.

Duan Jiaxu: "Take your time eating. I need to go to the hospital later to ask about my dad's condition."

Nan Zheng: "I'll go too."

Duan Jiaxu looked at her and said, "Okay."

After breakfast, Nan Zheng accompanied him back to the hospital.

Upon meeting the attending physician, Duan Jiaxu asked, "Doctor, I'd like to ask about my father's condition."

Doctor: "Although your father's condition is relatively stable, we still need to avoid repeated infections. He may need to be admitted to the intensive care unit again at any time."

After listening, Duan Jiaxu fell silent for a while before finally speaking: "Thank you, doctor."

Doctor: It's alright, but you family members should also take good care of things.

Duan Jiaxu nodded and went out with Nan Zheng. The two stayed quietly for a while.

Duan Jiaxu said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Due to my father's condition, I may have to go back to work in Yihe!"

Nan Zheng: "It's okay, it's the same everywhere."

Duan Jiaxu looked at her and said, "I'm afraid I won't see you much in the future."

His eyes were fixed on her, filled with both nervousness and anticipation.

Nan Zheng looked back at him and said, "It's not difficult to meet. We can meet whenever we have time."

Duan Jiaxu: "Then wait for me to come find you."

Nan Zheng: "Okay, I'll come see you when I have time."

The two exchanged a glance, and Duan Jiaxu tentatively gave her a hug.

They both knew what the other meant, and they both knew what they were waiting for.

Duan Jiaxu was waiting for the day he would pay off his debts, and Nan Zheng was waiting for him to speak.

It's nice to have a warm and tender romance in this world.

Nan Zheng is patient; different experiences bring different feelings.

The two left the hospital in the evening, and Nan Zheng prepared to return to the hotel.

Duan Jiaxu: "You haven't had dinner yet. Come to my place and I'll make you some."

Nan Zheng: "Okay, thank you for cooking."

Duan Jiaxu: "It's not hard work cooking for you."

Back at Duan Jiaxu's place, just as they finished cooking and were about to eat, they heard a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Duan Jiaxu put down his chopsticks, walked over and opened the door. When he saw who it was, his expression was not good.

Jiang Ying: "Jiaxu, long time no see."

Duan Jiaxu: "What brings you here?"

Jiang Ying: "Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?"

Duan Jiaxu declined: "It's not convenient."

Jiang Ying opened her bag, took out an envelope and handed it to him: "I heard that person hasn't been doing well lately. Take this if you need it urgently. You don't need to pay me back this month."

Duan Jiaxu: "No need, I'll figure it out myself."

Jiang Ying: "Applause..."

Seeing that the person hadn't returned, Nan Zheng walked over and asked, "Duan Jiaxu, who is that?"

Duan Jiaxu turned around and explained, "It's nothing, just one classmate."

Jiang Ying saw Nan Zheng and was a little angry: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Duan Jiaxu: "It has nothing to do with you. If you have nothing else to do, go back first. I don't need your help."

Jiang Ying became agitated and said loudly, "Duan Jiaxu, you don't need my help, but you want her to help you?"

Nan Zheng: "This is a public area, please do not make loud noises."

Duan Jiaxu said to Jiang Ying, "My affairs are none of your business. You can leave."

Then he said to Nan Zheng, "Let's go inside and continue eating."

Jiang Ying looked angry and helpless, and left in a huff.

Duan Jiaxu closed the door, and the two sat down at the dining table.

"I'm sorry, because I let you see these things."

Nan Zheng: "She seems a bit off, be careful."

Duan Jiaxu lowered his head and said, "Mm."

Nan Zheng changed the subject: "Let's eat."

She didn't ask him any more questions because Nan Zheng knew what was going on.

Worried that she might misunderstand, Duan Jiaxu explained, "She is my creditor."

Nan Zheng looked up at him and said, "You don't have to talk about these things if you don't want to."

Duan Jiaxu: "It's okay. My dad hit and killed her dad, and then my dad jumped off a building because he didn't want to take responsibility. My mom also died from overwork."

Nan Zheng listened to him quietly.

Duan Jiaxu didn't dare to look up at her: "So I have to compensate her a lot of money."

I'm afraid she'll think I'm terrible in this family, afraid she won't like me.

Nan Zheng said calmly, "I understand. Let's eat."

Duan Jiaxu looked up: "You don't mind?"

Nan Zheng: "This isn't your fault. On the contrary, you've been taking the blame the whole time. Why should I mind?"

Duan Jiaxu smiled: "Thank you for understanding me."

Nan Zheng: "Alright, stop thinking about those bad things. I believe you'll pay back what you owe her soon."

Duan Jiaxu was comforted: "Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."

I'll resolve my own problems as soon as possible; I look forward to having you with me every day.

After dinner, Nan Zheng planned to return to the hotel, and Duan Jiaxu escorted her.

On the way, Nan Zheng said, "I'm going back to Nanwu tomorrow."
