You're not Ge Fei

  "Ah!" Ye Jingchen suddenly slammed on the brakes, and I was thrown forward, hitting my head against the window. His expression changed slightly, a flicker of surprise in his eyes, before he regained his composure: "How did you know about Xiangxiang?"

  "Isn't it because I look very much like her that you're getting close to me?" I directly pierced through him.

  Ye Jingchen was taken aback, as if seeing another person through me: "So you knew, you asked me to save Ge Fei, because you were certain I would save him, just because of this face that looks exactly like my sister's."

  "You can save him! Can't you?! You can save Xue Lang, then you must be able to save Ge Fei, can't you?!" I had just calmed down for a moment, but because of his words, I lost control again, my voice was so loud that even I myself felt terrified.

  Ye Jingchen looked at me for a moment, didn't say anything else, and continued driving. We arrived at Ge Fei's house at the fastest speed, the door of Ge Fei's house was still open, he usually wouldn't leave the door wide open like this...

  He... is he...? I was extremely frightened and rushed in, the floor was covered with bloody footprints. I rushed in, Ge Fei was lying on the ground, his face was deathly pale, as white as a dying person. Last time he was ambushed by He Yi Chu, it was like this, but he was still saved.

  "Ge Fei......, Ge Fei, are you okay?!" That day I cried too much, too much. I tightly hugged Ge Fei, tears streaming down my face.

  When I touched Ge Fei's body, I couldn't feel any warmth, that chill was just like the temperature of a dead person. Is he... is he dead? Has he disappeared? My heart felt like it was being cut with a knife, and at this moment, I too had thoughts of death. In the past, when I saw news about people dying for love, I would laugh at how foolish they were, but now that it's happened to me, I'm just as foolish.

  "Xǐ jiā..." Ge Fei's hand moved slightly, accompanied by a weak breath calling me.

  "Waaaah!" I burst into tears: "Ge Fei... I thought you were dead, I thought you had really disappeared, I thought you didn't want me anymore."

  At this moment, I was really scared. Ge Fei's whole body was very weak and he couldn't even stand steadily, but he still struggled to get up, as if using all his strength, from the ground, and pulled me down. His pale face forced a smile: "Si Jia, don't cry."

  "Ge Fei, you tell me, you won't leave me, right?" My tears kept rolling down and couldn't stop, my hand tightly grasping Ge Fei's arm.

  Ge Fei's face looked increasingly unpleasant, and with a trembling hand, he gently stroked my face, smiling: "Si Jia, after I leave, you should also leave this place, don't get involved in these things anymore, you have to live well."

  "What's with the farewell speech? You were badly hurt last time, but you recovered. This time will be no exception, right?" I don't know what kind of expression I had at that moment, but I think it must have been quite a sight to behold.

  Ge Fei once said, I look very ugly when I cry...... so, I can't cry again.

  I wiped away tears and forced a smile: "Ge Fei, don't worry, you'll be fine. Ye Jingchen will definitely find a way to save you. He... he's just outside, I'll go call him."

  "Stay with me... stay with me until dawn breaks tomorrow." I had just gotten up when Ge Fei grabbed my arm, his voice was so weak that it seemed like he would stop breathing at any moment.

  Actually, I knew he was really going to disappear. If there was a way to save himself, how could he give up? Everyone says they're not afraid of death, but when death really arrives, they're all scared to death.

  I turned around to look at him, he didn't say a word either, pulled me down to sit, slowly got up and walked into the bedroom, came out with a medicine box after a while, his tone carried a few hints of reproach: "Don't torture yourself like this in the future, do you think you're Wonder Woman?"

  I didn't say a word, my nose was sour, and the eye sockets were hot, in order not to let tears fall again, I deliberately raised my eyes to look at the ceiling.

  "I thought... I could continue to protect you, I thought there was a way to stay, but it's been five years... I think I won't be able to protect you anymore, so find someone who can rely on, and in the future, when you want to cry, just cry, Lin Sijia, you have to remember that you're a girl, don't always carry everything on your own shoulders." Ge Fei said while carefully applying medicine for me.

  The pain of the medicine didn't reduce the pain in my heart at all. When I'm heartbroken, I don't feel any pain from the wound at all.

  After helping me take the medicine, Ge Fei sat beside me, completely disregarding his own weakness. He only instructed me to eat well, not to always eat instant noodles, not to eat spicy food if I couldn't handle it, and not to live alone all the time. It would be safer to go back home and live with my parents... In just one afternoon, Ge Fei had said everything he wanted to say in his lifetime.

  As night fell, the stars twinkled outside the window. For some reason, Ge Fei's home was no longer as cold as it had been before, but instead became very hot, even with the air conditioner on. Perhaps this was a prelude to Ge Fei's disappearance. Although Ge Fei's body had a temperature, it had always been cool to the touch.

  "Si Jia, I want to eat the meal you cooked." Ge Fei's face still had a faint smile on it, although he was smiling, but I think his heart must be very sad and fearful.

  I smiled and nodded: "Okay... I'll go do it now."

  As I walked into the kitchen, tears suddenly welled up in my eyes. I quickly covered my mouth with my hand, afraid that I would burst out crying. Ge Fei had always complained about my cooking being bad, but today he actually asked me to cook for him. Was he really going to leave? Until this moment, I still couldn't believe that Ge Fei was going to disappear.

  I've grown up to be best at making scrambled eggs with rice, Ge Fei eats the most of it too, although he always says it's not tasty, but he finishes every plate clean.

  As I walked into the living room with a tray, I felt as if I had entered hell, because Ge Fei looked even weaker than before. Losing Ge Fei was like entering hell for me.

  I'm not exaggerating at all, five years ago when we broke up, I ran alone to the moat of my hometown and cried so much that I almost jumped in. If Yao Le hadn't called me at that time, I think I would have really jumped down. In terms of emotions, I am fragile to the point where I can't even bear myself.

  "Si Jia, would you sing a song?" Ge Fei said weakly, leaning on the sofa and looking at me.

  At this moment, I really want to fly with Ge and argue with me. Seeing him like this, my heart is bleeding. I want to cry, but in the end, I didn't cry. I smiled and asked him: "What do you want to listen to?"

  He smiled and replied: "Seventeen-year-old rainy season..."

  Seventeen-year-old rainy season... My seventeen years were spent with Ge Fei, I wish my twenty-seven years could also be spent with him, but... I suppressed my sadness and slowly opened my mouth: "When I was still a child, there were many jasmine flowers in front of the door..."

  As I sang, I still couldn't help but shed tears, as if I saw Ge Fei from many years ago. He stood by the moat and sang loudly: "In the rainy season when we were 17, we had common promises and once tightly hugged each other..."

  Ge Fei leaned on the sofa, his eyes growing increasingly dim, but he kept smiling at me. He couldn't speak anymore, but his mouth was still moving. I knew he was singing with me, singing about my 17 years old, and also singing about his 17 years old...

  We just kept looking at each other, praying for dawn not to come so soon.

  For over twenty years, I felt that the night was too short, just a blink of an eye and the sky had already lit up, the sunlight outside piercing my eyes. Ge Fei was still leaning on the sofa, he was completely immobile, his eyes slightly closed, as if he couldn't open them at all.

  I quietly watched him, afraid that I would never see him again. Ge Fei made a great effort to open his eyes, his pale face had a faint smile on it, his lips moved slightly, although there was no sound, but I could hear what he was saying.

  He said: "Si Jia, thank you for being there when I was 17."

  After he finished speaking, his lips slowly closed, and his eyes also slowly shut. He pulled my hand down slightly as he did so. I knew he was gone. I thought I would wail uncontrollably, but at that moment, I couldn't cry anymore. All I could do was sit there stupidly beside him, holding him.

  Perhaps in the next moment he will become another person, I just want to hold him like this at the last moment, perhaps he is still conscious at this moment.

  The room was once again restored to its original coldness, Ge Fei had no vital signs, his pale face was terrifying. But I still hoped he would wake up. I thought, maybe he was just joking with me, perhaps after a while he would wake up and scold me for being foolish, and then boast about his acting skills, saying that he was great and I was an idiot.

  My tears still flowed out, one by one, all dripping onto his face. I shook his body desperately, trying to wake him up. I couldn't bear it anymore and burst into loud sobs, shouting at him: "Ge Fei... Ge Fei, wake up! You said you'd protect me, you said you'd find the person who hurt you, but they haven't been found yet, how can you disappear? How can you?! You bastard! Ge Fei, you bastard, you big bastard, how could you do this, how could you...

  I think I've cried out all my tears for this lifetime, to the point where I don't even know how to cry anymore. I shook him vigorously, but no matter how hard I shook or scolded him, he didn't have any reaction at all.

  At that time, I was completely out of control, and even...my consciousness was a bit unclear, and I actually thought I could wake him up.

  Hmph... Indeed, he was awakened, but the person who woke up wasn't him. Although... Ye Jingchen said that person was him, but Ge Fei is still Ge Fei, even if he's just one of Xu Shiwei's souls, he can't be replaced by anyone else.

  "Hey, hey! What's with the intense shaking? Trying to shake me into a concussion?" Just as I was shaking wildly, Ge Fei suddenly spoke up.

  Ge Fei... Ge Fei is alive! I excitedly hugged him and shouted: "Ge Fei... you didn't disappear, you didn't disappear."

  No, he... wasn't Ge Fei. I immediately let him go, just one glance and I knew he wasn't Ge Fei, his eyes were completely different from Ge Fei's. I stepped back repeatedly: "You... you're not Ge Fei..."

  "You... are Lin Sijia..." He revealed a smile, that kind of smile was exactly the same as the one worn by the man in the leather jacket who appeared at Cuimeng Garden that night.
