Chapter 40

  There are 365 days in a year, 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute.

  "These four years, these four years apart, every single second, I've been thinking of you, missing you so much."

  "I love you, love you, love you, my entire life is loving you. If time could turn back, I would jump from 30,000 meters high and not leave your side for a single second. Let me use the rest of my time to love you, my beloved."

  Tongues entwined in a desperate struggle, lips locked in greedy suction, the dialogue of hearts confessed to each other only between the lips and teeth.

  In the small room, there was only the sound of kissing, until their skin was hot and scorching, their breathing almost suffocating, before they slowly released each other. The two people's eyes were locked on each other, their chests heaving like waves on the sea.

  The white fluorescent lamp on the roof reflected in her eyes, rippling with crystal clear water, and love followed that eye wave, surging between two people.

  For a moment, the whole world fell silent.

  That day, Gong Xi's hand back had a big hematoma, and both of them were criticized by the nurse.

  Luckily, she remembered the cause of the blood pack and her face turned red with no way to control herself. Gong Xi, however, looked unperturbed, secretly winking at Lucky and making a mischievous smile.

  Wang Jiyi's condition improved day by day and he recovered quickly. Fortunately, they no longer had to keep watch over him day and night without rest or sleep.

  Good fortune soon restored his usual spirits, no longer with red eyes and pale complexion, his hair was neat again, and his chin was shaved smooth, no longer sporting a long beard.

  The worn-out casual outfit was changed, and a naval uniform was put on. He had been wearing a casual outfit for the New Year's celebration and also brought a military uniform with him, so after changing out of that one, he could only wear the military uniform.

  He was already handsome and elegant, but wearing a military uniform made him look even more dashing. With this sudden burst of spirit, he immediately caught the attention of all the young nurses on the entire floor.

  As a result, Gong Xi's ward became the most frequent place for beautiful nurses to come. When it was time to change medicine and take body temperature, three or two of them would come together, and from time to time they would also come to patrol the ward, making this small ward often crowded with people.

  The nurse was changing the dressing for Gong Xi on one hand, and instructing Xing Yun on when to take the brown medicine pill on the other hand, with a very sweet and gentle tone, accompanied by a soft smile and flirtatious eyes.

  "Or it's: 'Your friend's wound is healing very quickly, look, new flesh has grown in this area.'"

  Jianguo scowled, "My wound, my flesh, why must you show it to him?"

  The number of times back and forth increased, even Lian Gong Xi's old dad saw the problem.

  An old face was already heavy, looking at those swallows flying around the lucky ones, and then turning to look at his son's bulging eyes, the old man couldn't take it anymore.

  He is not a lamp that saves oil, even if he has already become a member of our imperial family, how can we let others take advantage of it.

  I don't know what kind of trick the old commander used, but suddenly all those beautiful women disappeared from Guo Xi's ward. The ones who came to give him a check-up were all older women with serious faces.

  Although everyone will criticize me for doing this and that, hurting my wound, but I'm still very happy. As long as no one comes to seduce my luck, even if you scold me eight times a day, I'm willing.

  The old master of the palace is now coming every day, and he doesn't sit in the house for too long. Instead, he often strolls around the corridor, and as soon as he sees one of those "fox spirits" (this is what the old master thinks of those young and beautiful girls in his heart), he will go up to them and strike up a conversation with good luck. The old man will immediately walk over, "Ahem! Cough! Cough!"

  It sounds like coughing.

  After coughing a few times, good luck understood, this old kid is really interesting.

  Xingyun was chatting with Gongxi in the small garden downstairs when he told her an interesting story about his dad. After finishing, to his surprise, Gongxi said seriously: "Hmm, this is the most reliable thing my dad has done in all these years."

  "Fortunately, I finally understand why you were always so careful in the past. It's hereditary."

  "What a petty mind you have, don't you understand, that's love." Gong Xi curled up her lips in disdain.

  "Yeah, yeah, you know." Lucky was too lazy to argue with him.

  In the small garden, the sunshine is bright and beautiful, a garden full of camellias blooming red and gorgeous. Although there is still some cold air in the wind, looking at those red camellias, I know that spring has arrived.

  Two people sat side by side next to the mermaid fountain, their eyes closed, quietly enjoying the warm sunshine after noon. At exactly 12 o'clock, the fountain started spraying water, and the water droplets refracted in the sunlight, reflecting a beautiful rainbow.

  "When you see a rainbow, you will get happiness." said Miyabi, holding Lucky's hand.

  Lucky smiled happily and turned her face to look at Gong Xi.

  That smile was so beautiful, filled with happiness and satisfaction. Ming Lang stood at the entrance of the building, stunned.

  For nine whole days, good fortune deserted him, without a sound or message, as if this world had never known such a person. Ah, Ming Lang smiled bitterly, this deeply fallen love was like a joke, a sarcastic irony.

  I don't know what Gu Xī said to Hǎo Yùn again, but Hǎo Yùn suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly. The curve of his neck was so perfect that when his collar was open, you could see his beautiful clavicle, and further down, his robust chest. On the left side of his chest, there was a long scar from a knife wound, which he had gotten for Gu Xī.

  But he's like a dog that only remembers to eat and not the beating, now back by that person's side, curled up at his feet, possibly still using his head to rub against the master's pants corner, trying to get on good terms with him.

  How ridiculous love is in this world. One loves him, loves him to the point of abasement, while he loves that person, loves her to the point of forgetting oneself.

  Ming Lang was standing there, watching Gong Xi occasionally smile and laugh at good fortune. Suddenly, for some reason, he got angry and slapped Gong Xi's leg hard.

  It's definitely going to be a loud slap, just like before when he would pat his own shoulder, and then they would make some over-the-top joke together, but the slaps were only loud and not painful, every time it would make him love him even more, to the point of madness, and he would always grab that person back and kiss them crazily.

  Luckily they got up, it seems that they had a great time this afternoon, the smile on their faces says it all.

  Luckily, he turned behind the wheelchair and gently pushed it towards the inpatient department.

  Ming Lang suddenly lost his courage for no reason and hastily left the hospital.

  All the anger, reasons and questions that were taken for granted before, in the smile under that sunlight, turned into a mood that couldn't be picked up.

  Nanhai, Minglang did not return, he returned to Beijing. Originally, the ten-day holiday during the Chinese New Year was also spent in Beijing, but at that time, he still had hope in his heart.

  This time back from Macau, I hope it's gone, turned into powder, blown away by the spring breeze of Macau.

  Minglang submitted his long-term sick leave and job transfer application together.

  Then it's just getting drunk and dreaming every day in various bars.

  Sometimes I get drunk and sleep in a bar, sometimes I wake up on an unfamiliar bed with another unfamiliar person.

  Xīngyùn called Mínglǎng before returning to the South China Sea, he didn't want to hurt him and hoped that the two could go back to being friends. However, the call couldn't get through.

  He returned alone to Nanhai and learned that Minglang had not come back, having already applied for a transfer. It was only then that he realized that Minglang had actually decided to let go.

  Fortunately, it's also related to being unable to contact Minglang, and can only hope in his heart that he can find his own happiness as soon as possible, and also hope that he can forgive himself for making such a choice.

  Ding Ling didn't come back, her family no longer let her run around the world, forcing her to switch to indoor work, and then hurriedly finding a partner to get married and become a virtuous wife and good mother.

  The one who came to replace Ding Ling was a fifty-year-old old man, with a square head, sparse hair on the top of his head, and a pair of black-framed glasses perched on his eyes with large eye bags. His skin was too loose, so his cheeks were drooping downwards, and his downturned mouth made him look like an iceberg, giving everyone a feeling that they didn't want to get along with him at first sight.

  At work, this person is very meticulous and strict, also a workaholic. For one set of data, he can go without sleep for several days and nights working in front of the computer. Led by him, their entire technical department was like a group of crazy gears, running at high speed every day, with everyone overworked.

  Macau's Na Mian Gong Xi has just received a long vacation, and the National Security Agency quickly caught a string of melons along with that vine due to the successful capture on New Year's Eve. However, the mastermind behind the scenes is hiding in the United States, so they only arrested people hiding in Hong Kong, Macau, and mainland China. Although it doesn't count as a closed case, it effectively struck this criminal force, making their violent actions unable to be carried out smoothly.

  This is also a major blow to the group. So, everyone can start taking turns resting, and Gong Xi is one batch, of course, also because he made the greatest contribution in this action.

  Gong Xi was also awarded second-class merit for this.

  Jiayu got the news and called Lucky, who said, "What's there to be happy about? You almost lost your life. Next time don't be so foolish, nothing is more important than life. Criminals can never be caught completely, but life only happens once. If you lose it, no matter what achievements you have, they're all in vain."

  Gong Xi heard that and laughed happily. With you being so heartbroken for me, I won't die. We still have to spend the rest of our lives together.

  "Hmph! That depends on my mood, whether I'm willing to spend the rest of my life with you." Lucky lay in bed, his body swaying gently like the waves, and his heart felt so happy that it was about to overflow with honey. But his mouth still maintained a contradictory tone, teasingly saying...

  Jiayu immediately fell for it, and on the other end of the phone, she anxiously shouted: "You can't do this! Didn't you say before you left that no matter how difficult the road is, we would walk together?"

  Lucky schemes succeeded, and they laughed gleefully without stopping.

  Smoke was rising from the top of Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
