Chapter Fifty-two

  Cui Ruichen hastily helped Qian Tong put on her bathrobe and casually got dressed himself before rushing to the next room to find Yilin.

  When Irene came into the room, she was almost blinded by the surroundings, and underwear and so on were visible everywhere.

  "Coughing lightly: "Sister Si, you guys just... don't want to clean up first? I'm afraid if Big Sister Si or Aunt Fang comes to see... it'll be hard to explain."

  Yilin's words woke up Siluo Chen, who quickly tidied up the things in the house and returned to his room to change into a new set of clothes. When he came back again, he found that Yilin had already helped Xiang Qiantong cover himself with a quilt.

  "How is she?" Si Luo Chen asked anxiously, at this time she could only believe Yilin.

  "It's all right for now, don't worry, sis," Irene comforted.

  "What's wrong with her body?" Si Luo Chen asked.

  Yilin's face sank and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself, after all, she had asked Qian Tong not to speak.

  "She told me, I just want to know how serious it is." Si Lu Chen saw the difficulty in Irina's words.

  "Big sister!" Irina's expression was slightly surprised: "I..."

  "Actually, I knew it the first time you took her pulse. Yilin, tell me the truth, what's wrong with her? How serious is it? Don't keep it from me if you consider me as your senior." Si Luochen's attitude was stern, she didn't want Yilin to hide it from her either.

  All I saw was Irene sighing: "Senior sister, actually...I'm not clear about the cause of senior sister's illness either. Only know that her body's five organs and six viscera are all damaged, if we can't find a treatment method, every time she falls ill may be life-threatening."

  "What did you just say?!" Si Luo Chen couldn't believe what she was hearing.

  "I already knew about Xiang Jie's situation, and I'm sure she must have had a solution. That's why I just found this box of medicine in her bag. As for what it contains, I don't know yet. But since Xiang Jie took the medicine, her complexion has indeed improved." Yilin simply said everything she knew.

  Si Luo Chen clutched the box of medicine tightly in his hand, as if losing it would be like losing Qian Tong. The only problem was that there were hardly any pills left in the box, and he didn't know if she had a spare supply.

  "Irene, thank you." Si Luo Chen's voice was extremely exhausted at this time.

  Yilin shook her head, indicating that she hadn't done anything, and instead was concerned about Si Luochen. She said softly, "Senior sister, I think he won't wake up today. Do you want to go rest first?"

  But at this time, how could Si Lu Chen bear to let Qian Tong rest alone, as if the person in front of him would leave himself as soon as he turned around.

  "It's okay, I'm not tired. If I were tired, I would sleep on the side. You go back and rest first, if there's anything, I'll find you." Si Luo Chen's voice was very light, his eyes were all on Qian Tong.

  Yilin knew that whoever was most concerned about her would not leave in such a situation, and without saying anything else, she quietly closed the door when she left.

  With a heavy heart, I almost screamed at the moment the door opened.

  Just as she was about to call out, a pair of icy hands covered her mouth: "Shh, you'll disturb others."

  A faint scent of cherry blossoms wafted in, and Irene suddenly remembered that Yan Bing would be coming to find her at night. Calming the fear in her heart, she reached out to push away Yan Bing's arm, but her fingers inadvertently pressed against her pulse, causing Irene's expression to stiffen.

  Yan Bing felt that the person in front of her was a bit unusual, and immediately withdrew his hand behind him, curiously asking: "Are you also a doctor? What's your name?"

  Yilin looked at the woman in front of her with an uncomprehending gaze: "Yilin, why is your pulse so weak?" In Yilin's impression, such a weak pulse was only seen in people who were on the verge of death. However, the woman in front of her had strength and breathing that surpassed those of ordinary people.

  "This has nothing to do with you. I just want to take a look at the photos on your phone." Yan Bing said coldly.

  Yilin couldn't care less about those things, she just wanted to get rid of these annoying things as soon as possible, took out her phone from her bag and handed it to Yan Bing: "The photos are here."

  Yan Bing took over the phone, seriously looking at the wounds of the three people and that knife, then deleted all the photos.

  "Hey, you!" Ilin couldn't understand this woman's behavior at all and hated himself for believing her.

  "Keeping it will only bring disaster. " He said, handing the phone back to her, and handed a box of medicine to Yilin: "This, for Xiang Qian Tong."

  Yilin recognized the box of medicine, but why did she have it? Yilin knew that she was not calm enough at present, took a deep breath to calm down, closed her eyes and thought about what had happened recently.

  When Irene opened her eyes again, she looked like a different person in Yan Bing's eyes.

  " Were you at Red Sleeve that day?" Irin stared into Yan Bing's eyes behind her mask.

  "Uh-huh."

  "Was it you who saved Si Luo Chen?"

  Yan Bing shook her head: "It's this murderer, his goal is in waiting for Qian Tong."

  "Waiting for Sister Xiang?" Irene was confused, although she didn't understand Xiang Qian's background, but it was clear that he came from an ordinary family, and his parents had divorced many years ago. Thinking of this, her mind flashed back to Xiang Qian's words.

  My father, I never knew what he did.

  Is all this related to her father?

  "What if I had entered that house a little earlier?" Irin asked.

  "Die." When this word came out of Yan Bing's mouth, there was no hesitation at all.

  Yilin was taken aback, then asked: "He... is he the person you're looking for?"

  Yan Bing shook her head.

  "You've been protecting Qian Tong all along? Why...?" Irene didn't understand why she would save her.

  "I just received orders to protect you." Yan Bing replied succinctly.

  "Whose order is it?"

  "You don't know, and it has nothing to do with you. Just do your own thing and hand this medicine over to Xiang Qian Tong. By the way, tell Si Luo Chen, I'm sorry, I didn't protect her well." After finishing speaking, Yan Bing turned around and left.

  "Hey, why don't you go say it yourself?" Irina called out to Yan Bing as she was about to leave.

  Yan Bing was facing away from Irina, and could see her outstanding figure, with a proud bone structure. But why did such a woman wear a mask? And her pulse, it wasn't normal either.

  "That's enough for you to take care of." Yan Bing didn't say anything else and jumped out of the window.

  Irina held the box of medicine in her hand, as if it weighed a thousand pounds. For some reason, she didn't find the figure who appeared out of nowhere frightening, but instead felt a hint of sadness from her silhouette.

  Fang Shanyu's room.

  "Alright, I'll head back to the house tomorrow morning, and for now, I'm leaving this place in your hands. You can leave again in three days." Fang Xiangyu said as she sat on the sofa, looking at her eldest daughter standing before her.

  "I actually don't understand why you brought Qian Tong here," asked Si Ruo Nan.

  "You never ask why, but this time... is it for Luochen?" Fang Shanyu's words made Si Yunnan pause for a moment, and he immediately shook his head to explain: "No, I'm just curious."

  "Don't deceive me, I know my own daughter." Fang Shanyu's tone paused for a moment, and then sighed: "Xiang Wentian has a good daughter, but the mistakes of the previous generation have to be paid back by the next generation. It's actually very unfair."

  "Mom?" Si Ruo Nan didn't know what Fang Shan Yu wanted to express.

  "At first, I also saw that Wen Tian helped our family, letting you send off his daughter and protect her. There is a reason and a result, after all, it's our family that owes the Wen family." Fang Xiangyu stood up and walked in front of Si Weiwei, embracing her eldest daughter and gently comforting her.

  "All these years, you've worked hard. From now on, I'll leave the Si family matters to you, and I'm at ease."

  To Si Wei Nan, Fang Shuang Yu's words sounded very abnormal, and the more he listened, the stranger they became.

  "Mom, is something wrong?" Si Yunnan furrowed her brow and asked.

  Fang Shanyu shook her head, smiling slightly as she looked at Si Wenna, her most trusted eldest daughter. "The Si family isn't that fragile, you should know that too," she said lightly. "Go back and rest early, hmm."

  Although Si Wei Nan was very worried, she didn't say anything else and nodded to leave. Looking at the tightly closed door, Fang Shan Yu let out a light sigh: "What's meant to come will eventually come."

  Xiang Qian Tong woke up on the next morning, and as soon as she moved her fingers slightly, she found Si Luo Chen lying beside her. As she thought back to what had happened, she knew that her body had already started to overdraw, was the time limit almost up?

  She let out a soft sigh, just as she had expected.

  The soft sunlight outside the window fell on Si Luo Chen's body, looking like a beautiful painting. Xiang Qian Tong's pale mouth was pursed with a smile, wanting to reach out and touch her, but found that she couldn't control her strength, startling her instead.

  Si Luo Chen raised his head, looking at Xiang Qian Tong who had woken up, and seemed to let out a sigh of relief: "Is your body feeling better now? Is there anywhere that still feels uncomfortable? You tell me. Otherwise... I'll go find Yilin to take a look?" Just as he was about to leave, his arm was grabbed by Xiang Qian Tong.

  "Luò Chén, don't go, let me take a look at you, I'm afraid I..." Before Xiāng Qiūtóng could finish speaking, Sī Luòchén covered her lips with his hand.

  Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, she said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't allow you to talk nonsense."

  Qian Tong reached out and grasped Si Luo Chen's hand, smiling slightly as he nodded: "Alright, I won't talk nonsense. Then you shouldn't leave either, stay with me for a bit, okay?"

  Xia Lu Chen nodded obediently and sat quietly to one side.

  "What's that medicine you gave me?" Qian Tong asked curiously.

  "Si Luo Chen responded with a murmur and handed her the medicine: 'It was found by Yilin, she said...'"

  Before Si Lu Chen finished speaking, he shook his head and said to Qian Tong in a light tone: "This medicine, I can't take it often, there will be very serious side effects, taking it until the end may make me feel even more uncomfortable."

  Si Luo Chen was taken aback, reached out to gently stroke Xiang Qiong's face, making her look into his eyes, and asked seriously: "What's going on? Why is your body like this... What is this medicine for?"

  In the past, what Qian Tong feared most was that one day, Si Luo Chen would face all of this, so she decided to leave. She thought that only in this way could she live a stable life. A kind and good person like her shouldn't live in pain. She should have lived comfortably in the Si family, should have had an ideal future, and should have had another half who could bring her happiness.

  Xiang Qian Tong thinks that time can change everything and distance can make emotions distant. However, she finds out that time is actually very good at playing jokes, and distance has instead produced beauty.

  When people are obsessed with remembering some happiness, suffering, the curse of time will make you suddenly realize that you haven't thought about that person, that thing for a long time.

  When you try to use time and distance to forget and estrange, you find that they always make you see some things from time to time, unconsciously remembering someone, not only not forgetting, but also deepening your thoughts because of the distance, remembering more deeply and firmly.

  I deeply understand what you mean.

  When the body recovers and there is no relapse, the only thing on my mind is to know whether Si Luo Chen is doing well or not, whether he still remembers her existence or has already forgotten. I want to go see her, but I dare not, because I am afraid... Afraid that once we meet again, I will not be able to bear to leave, or even the last remaining thoughts will disappear into thin air.

  Until the day he suddenly appeared in her line of sight, everything was different for her. However, every time she wanted to get close to him, thinking about her own physical condition, she could only repeatedly refuse and retreat from this person who was most important to her at heart.

  But... even if everything is thought out, this heart cannot be restrained.

  In the end, she still had to face all of this.

  I thought this secret would never be known to her, even if one day she found out, it would be when I was leaving.

  Thought everything could be controlled.

  Hmph...

  How ridiculous!

  "...... Luochen, I'm sorry."

  In Qian Tong's line of sight, she softened into water, with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth, looking at Si Luo Chen and asking faintly: "When I first met you, didn't I open up to you completely?"

  In Si Luo Chen's eyes, Xiang Qian Tong looked extremely weak at this moment. Her entire face was pale and bloodless, her lips were tightly pursed, only slightly red. She knew that Xiang Qian Tong was going to tell her a secret she had never been willing to say. But, paradoxically, Si Luo Chen was now afraid of knowing this secret, as if knowing it would make the woman in front of her disappear.

  "Luò Chén? Is it?" Xiang Qiántóng softly called out to the distracted Sī Luòchén.

  Along with her words, Si Luo Chen nodded reluctantly.

  Tian Tong smiled in satisfaction and said after a long while: "So... I plan to tell you my only secret too."

  I knew it!

  It's indeed like that.

  Xiang Qian Tong reached out and gently stroked Si Luo Chen's cheek, Si Luo Chen could feel Xiang Qian Tong's hand trembling slightly, holding her own hand without leaving any marks, she didn't want to tire her out.

  Looking at everything, towards Qian Tong's hand letting her hold it freely, slowly said: "However... Luochen you must promise me, after hearing this secret, don't allow yourself to be sad, okay?"

  These words undoubtedly hurt Si Luo Chen even more, she clenched her teeth tightly, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her eyes couldn't help but redden. Hanging her head, not wanting to let Xiang Qian Tong see her expression, she nodded in agreement.

  "Then I... can rest assured..."

  The author has something to say: There's a feeling that the kids are being messed with by me. A lot of things are about to be triggered, the previous setup, Qian Tong's softer and more entangled places.

  There will be an answer. Then, start telling what happened that year, and then... solutions and so on.

  Yes!

  It's easy to say, but thinking about it, I know there is still a huge project left. Ah~~~~~

  Originally wanted to bully Qian Tong a bit, but... bullying her is equivalent to bullying Luo Chen. Being a mom is really hard _(:3∠)_

  The sour and spicy chicken miscellaneous rice downstairs is getting better and better, and my taste is also getting heavier.
