Chapter 29: Third Uncle Falls Seriously Ill

  "How do I know? Why don't you ask that angel?" Hong Jun asked him.

  "Big brother, you think that's reality? I can do whatever I want? That's a dream. In the dream, I don't even have the chance to speak." Fat Chen complained.

  No more chatting with Fat Chen, girlfriend hasn't slept for three days, now she's so tired that even standing is a chore, almost half asleep and half awake being supported back to the ward by Hong Jun this "patient", flopped onto the bed and fell into a sweet sleep.

  Hong Jun sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his girlfriend's sweet face, holding her hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Ah, Fat Chen is fine, but what about himself? Until now, he still doesn't know what's going on. When you discover that there's something wrong with your body, but no one can tell you what exactly is wrong, how does it feel in your heart?

  They say that suspicion breeds hidden demons. Hong Jun was originally meticulous in his thinking, but now he has suddenly contracted an unknown illness, and his suspicious mind is even more severe than others. The more he thinks about it, the more frightened he becomes. If Rui Xin weren't by his side, he would almost be on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

  "Life and death are destined, wealth and nobility are in heaven." Rui Xin suddenly said these eight words clearly in her sleep, Hong Jun looked at her and confirmed that this was a dream language.

  One word can wake up a sleeping person. Life and death are destined, wealth and nobility are in heaven. A person's life and death and all experiences are determined by fate. It is difficult to predict the affairs of the world, we cannot completely control our own life and death, wealth and nobility, we can only do our best. Sometimes you try your best but may not get it, sometimes you don't even try hard but still get it, human effort has its limits.

  With this thought, Hong Jun felt relieved. Since life and death, wealth and honor are all predetermined by heaven, human effort cannot change them, worrying and fearing is just a day, being comfortable and happy is also just a day, why not let go of troubles and enjoy every day? Moreover, there's such a beautiful and considerate girlfriend by his side. Hong Jun gently stroked her hair as he thought.

  Rui Xin woke up from a deep sleep to find that the sun had already set. At Hong Jun's repeated requests, he was discharged from the hospital on the same day. Since the hospital couldn't find any cause for Hong Jun's illness and his body hadn't shown any further problems, Hong Jun felt it wasn't necessary to stay there anymore. Moreover, who knows if the doctor suggested Hong Jun go home to rest because they didn't want to provoke him or were afraid of being unable to deal with him?

  In the midst of worrying about his illness relapsing, Hong Jun surprisingly passed five days safely. During these five days, Rui Xin ran back and forth to take care of him, trying every means to supplement his nutrition, which made his body fatter than before he got sick by a whole circle.

  While taking care of Hong Jun, Rui Xin did not forget about the fat Chen and Xu Ming in the hospital. Fortunately, Hong Jun's older cousin boss was very understanding and saw that several people in the dormitory were injured or ill, and Xiao She had been in a daze since she returned and had not recovered from the shock. Not only did he give everyone in the dormitory a holiday, but also wanted to find someone to help take care of them, which was rejected by Hong Jun. What if there was a female ghost around him that scared his colleagues?

  Lin Jie was not by Chen's side, and when Hong Jun asked about it, he learned that he had been sent to Heze by Chen to take care of his parents who had both broken their legs. Looks like this kid still has a good heart. Hong Jun thought to himself in admiration.

  His body didn't have any more episodes, but Hong Jun did enjoy Rui Xin's meticulous care. He fell into a gentle sleep and whenever he had the chance, he would passionately kiss Rui Xin. As they kissed, his mind was filled with desire for further action, but each time, Rui Xin skillfully dodged him.

  "What's the hurry, you need to take care of your body now, I'll be yours sooner or later, do you have to rush?" Ruxin said with a flushed face. She was still worried about his health. However, Hongjun took advantage of the opportunity and slipped his hand into her blouse. She hesitated for a moment, gave him two seconds of enjoyment time, and just as he was about to touch that small grape, Ruxin stood up and pulled his hand out.

  "You, you..." Hong Jun stuttered.

  "Hehe." Rui Xin's face turned red as she smiled nimbly and then went out to buy lunch.

  "Your Third Uncle's condition has suddenly taken a turn for the worse, the doctor says this time it's... you'd better come back quickly." That noon, Hong Jun, who was lying in bed with Rui Xin resting his eyes, suddenly received a call from his father. His third uncle had been suffering from chronic illness for years, but it had always been relatively stable, and he was only around 40 years old this year, so how could he have suddenly become seriously ill? This made his heart knot up, and he immediately called his cousin, the owner of the building materials factory, to inform him, then called Xu Ming to remind him to take good care of Peng Chen, before packing his things to head back to Northeast China.

  "I'll go back with you." Looking at Hong Jun taking a few changes of clothes and about to leave, Rui Xin hesitated for a moment, grasped Hong Jun's hand, and stared tightly into his eyes.

  Hong Jun was stunned, and they went back together. Hong Jun certainly knew the implication of this. In his hometown, if a wandering son who had been away from home for many years suddenly returned with a girl, it meant that no matter whether it was the son or the girl, they had already considered each other as their lifelong companion. This way of returning home was actually a clear indication that the two had reached the point of discussing marriage.

  Just over a month after getting to know Rui Xin, she already considers herself his girlfriend. In fact, given the rapid development of their relationship, Rui Xin has become like a fiancée in his heart.

  But isn't it a bit rash to take her home so abruptly?

  Hong Jun hesitated for a moment.

  Hesitation only lasted for a moment, and Hong Jun immediately made up his mind. Since he had decided that he wouldn't marry anyone else but this girl, and Rui Xin was so sincere with him, why couldn't he take her home? He nodded. Rui Xin also happily packed her belongings and left.

  Considerate, gentle and beautiful, what more could I ask for in a wife? Hong Jun said to himself. I must bring her back home. Let my parents take a look, and maybe even Third Uncle, who is on his deathbed, can take one last glance. To delight in their nephew's happiness, perhaps it will be like the saying "good luck" and his chronic illness will suddenly heal.

  "When are we going to get married? I have over 20 years of savings for you." On the way to the train station, Hong Jun looked at his happy girlfriend, Pang, and said this in his heart to Rui Xin. With excited faces, the two people took an overnight train and set off on their journey back to Liaoning.
