Chapter 42 Part 6

  "Xiao Xiu..."

  I murmured Xiaoxiu's name, and woke up in a daze. Beside me were the sleeping figures of two men... Not wanting to disturb them, I quietly got out of bed, this seemed to be a hospital...

  Recalling the dream just now, Xiu said that she wouldn't abandon me... Does that mean that Little Xiu isn't dead? I picked up the phone on the table and dialed Little Xiu's cell phone.

  "Hello?"

  I trembled and covered my lips, oh heaven... This is Xiaoxiu's voice! It's the voice of that innocent little girl... Xiaoxiu really didn't die... She's still alive!

  "Hello? Who is it? Speak up?"

  "Xiù... wǒ shì Xuě'r."

  Translation: "Shu... I am Xuer."

  I forced out a voice, which was slightly trembling due to over-excitement.

  "Xue Er? Sorry... I just had a serious illness and don't remember you..."

  "Beautiful..."

  I was stunned by Xiaoxiu's answer. She said she didn't remember me... Was it that she didn't want to see me again, so she wanted to avoid me? But hearing her bewildered voice, I felt like she really didn't remember me...

  "I'm sorry..."

  "Xiu, who is it?"

  Suddenly, Ling's voice came from the other end of the phone, and before I could even speak, the phone was hung up...

  I stood there in a daze, listening to the busy tone "beep... beep..." on the phone. What had happened? Why did Xiaoxiu's voice sound like nothing was wrong... why did Xiaoxiu say vaguely that she didn't remember me... why did Ling hang up the phone suddenly...

  At one time, many, many questions swirled in my mind, swirling until I was dizzy.

  "Xuě ér..."

  The sound of the sea came from behind.

  "Xue Er, you're awake! Xue Er! It's great... You've finally woken up! How are you? Is your body uncomfortable?"

  The sea seemed to be mumbling in a daze just now, but now he is thoroughly awake. Seeing me standing firmly on the ground, Hai exclaimed happily.

  Snow...

  The dark night was awakened by the excited shouts of the sea, staring blankly at me, and just as words were about to be spoken, they suddenly stopped. He lowered his head, pulled out a cigarette from the pocket of his shirt, and lit it up fiercely.

  "Hey, don't you know that smoking is prohibited in the ward? This is bad for Xue Er's health!"

  The sea roared in anger on the dark and cold night.

  "It's okay, don't worry..."

  I don't know why, but I suddenly feel sorry for Leng An Ye... Witnessing the person you love die because of you... Just once is probably unbearable for an ordinary person... Let alone Leng An Ye who has experienced it twice. I reckon he still doesn't know that Xiao Xiu is fine now... Judging from Ling's attitude, it seems like he doesn't want us to know.
