Meeting you in autumn

Time passed slowly, feeling like an eternity, until finally, the doctor in the white coat slowly walked out of the ward.

His brows furrowed, a hint of reproach on his face, and he looked directly at Chen Fang and Lu Chuan, speaking in a serious tone.

"What were you two thinking? How could you let him drink so much! He's suffering from a massive stomach hemorrhage. If you had arrived any later, he might not even have had a chance to be saved!"

Standing to the side, Lu Chuan smiled obsequiously, nodding and bowing as he hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, we know we were wrong. Doctor, you're right to reprimand him. We will never let him touch a drop of alcohol again!"

Hearing Lu Chuan's sincere assurance, the doctor snorted softly, seemingly still somewhat dissatisfied, but ultimately said nothing more and quickly turned and left.

The ward was silent. Jing Yi lay on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the white ceiling, as if there were endless secrets waiting for him to explore.

Chen Fang and Lu Chuan sat silently by the hospital bed, neither daring to break the silence, only occasionally exchanging worried glances.

In the suffocating silence, Jing Yi suddenly spoke, his voice weak yet firm: "Book me a flight to City A, the next available one."

After saying this, he slowly closed his eyes as if he had used up all his strength.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan immediately became anxious. He couldn't help but raise his voice and ask, "Why? You just had such a major surgery, and your body is still very weak. You need to rest and recuperate right now. How can you run around like this!"

"I'm going to find her," Jing Yi said firmly.

"No," Chen Fang firmly objected.

"In any case, your current physical condition is not suitable for long-distance flights," Chen Fang continued to persuade.

"I have to go." Jing Yi opened her eyes and looked at Chen Fang and Lu Chuan. "This is my only chance."

Chen Fang and Lu Chuan exchanged a glance; they knew that once Jing Yi made a decision, he wouldn't change it.

So they had no choice but to help book the next available flight to City A.

Jing Yi's heart was filled with anticipation and unease; he didn't know if he would be able to find her this time...

The next day, Jing Yi embarked on a journey to City A alone...

I received a call from Fu Li as soon as I got off the plane.

"You brat, you came to City A without telling your uncle, huh?" Fu Li's reproachful voice came through the phone, seemingly tinged with dissatisfaction.

Jing Yi remained expressionless and said calmly, "I've come to City A to find someone." Without waiting for a reply, Jing Yi quickly hung up the phone and headed towards the exit.

At seven o'clock in the evening, a person stood in the darkness outside the Guan family's house—Jing Yi.

His figure appeared somewhat blurry in the moonlight, as if he had blended into the darkness.

His gaze was fixed on the brightly lit Guan family home, his eyes revealing an indescribable longing and anticipation.

Suddenly, the Guan family's door opened, and a bright ray of light shone on Jing Yi's face.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he adjusted to the sudden light.

Shen Chen emerged, his steps firm and confident, followed closely by Guan Yu, the person Jing Yi had been longing for.

Guan Yu's beauty shone even brighter under the lights, and her smile was like the warm and bright sunshine of spring.

Shen Chen had already reached the driver's seat. Guan Yu waved to the two of them and then turned to walk towards Shen Chen's car.

Her steps were light, as if she were walking on clouds. Jing Yi's gaze followed her figure as he saw Guan Yu open the passenger door and get in.

Immediately afterwards, the car started, emitting a deep roar, and drove forward.

A sense of loss welled up in Jing Yi's heart. He watched the car drive away until it disappeared from sight.

On a bustling street in City A, Shen Chen's car slowly pulled up to the side of the road.

The two then got out of the car. Guan Yu's eyes sparkled with excitement as she looked around and happily said to the person beside her, "Brother Shen Chen, it's so lively here!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chen smiled indulgently. He slowly approached Guan Yu and said softly, "Okay, let's go, I'll take you sightseeing."

The two walked into the crowd, their figures standing out conspicuously amidst the bustling throng.

However, unnoticed by the two, Jing Yi clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.

His eyes were filled with pain and anger as he murmured, "Ayu, you lied to me again."

Jing Yi's heart was filled with contradictions and struggles. As he looked at Guan Yu and Shen Chen's figures, the pain in his heart grew stronger.

Just now, Guan Yu felt bored and suggested going out shopping.

Upon seeing this, Feng Ming was filled with excitement and agreed without hesitation.

However, things didn't go as he expected. Guan Yu said disdainfully, "Where are you going? I have something to tell you later! You don't need to go."

Before Feng Ming could respond, Guan Yu turned to Guan Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, I have something to do today, so I won't go with you. Let Brother Shen Chen go with you!"

After saying that, he gave Shen Chen a strange look, as if to say, "Brother, this is all I can do to help you."

Shen Chen immediately understood and said, "Xiaoyu, I'm free today, so I can go with you. You don't mind, do you?"

His voice carried a hint of expectation, and his eyes revealed his concern for Guan Yu.

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu immediately smiled and said, "How could that be? Then I'll trouble Brother Shen Chen to accompany me. Let's go quickly!"

Then came the first scene that Jing Yi witnessed.

As Guan Yu walked along, she felt as if someone was following her. She immediately turned around and looked around, but found only a bustling crowd of people walking around. She did not see any suspicious people.

Seeing this, Shen Chen asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Hearing Shen Chen's voice, Guan Yu snapped out of her daze and said with a smile, "It's alright, it's alright, let's go take a look over there!"

She then ran towards a dessert shop. Shen Chen watched her retreating figure with a satisfied expression, feeling helpless.

The two then entered a beautifully decorated dessert shop filled with a sweet aroma, and after careful selection, finally bought their desired dessert.

Guan Yu happily accepted the beautifully packaged box handed to her by the shop assistant and carefully held it in her hands.

But just then, she inadvertently glanced at the cute pattern printed on the box, and Jing Yi's familiar yet heartbreaking face instantly appeared in her mind.

Memories flooded back like a tidal wave, plunging her into despair and causing a sorrowful expression to involuntarily appear on her face.

Shen Chen, who was standing to the side, quickly noticed the subtle change in Guan Yu's mood. He leaned forward with concern and asked softly, "Xiao Yu, what's wrong? Is the dessert not to your liking?"

Guan Yu raised her head slightly, shook her head gently, and replied in a low voice, "No, it tastes quite good."

After saying that, she lowered her eyes, seemingly unwilling to say another word.
