Chapter 216: Choose me or him?
Chapter 216: Choose me or him?
"I love you, can't you just love me properly?"
As she spoke, something seemed to come to her mind, and tears streamed down her face, her nose turning red.
It's been so long since I've seen Song Yafei like this, so fragile!
Since becoming President Song, she has almost never revealed her true emotions in front of others.
The last time I saw her like this was when we broke up; she was devastated and couldn't control herself.
Back then, she was still an immature little girl who would cry uncontrollably, her face covered in snot and tears.
Just like she was back then, her crying today also broke my heart. I couldn't help but tighten my arms around her, holding her close to my chest.
But just as I was hesitating, Song Yafei seemed to suddenly wake up, sat up straight, and kissed me before I could react, without any regard for anything else.
Even when she was drunk, she still remembered where my sensitive spots were.
As she teased me with such precision time and time again, I began to wonder if she was even conscious.
And so I followed her down, experiencing all the ups and downs!
When our feelings were at their peak, she lay on top of me, her ambiguous breaths tickling my ear.
"God, who's better, her or me?"
I know she was talking about Hu Mei.
But there was never anything between Hu Mei and me; it was just a childhood friendship.
I didn't know how to answer, nor did I want to offer any explanation to Song Yafei, who was so drunk.
Even when Song Yafei was completely drunk, she still clung to me again and again, just like before, until she was exhausted and had no strength left, and then she collapsed into my arms and fell into a deep sleep.
Looking at her sleeping face, I couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. This was a rare moment of heartache for her after so many things had happened.
She always suspected something between me and Hu Mei, just as I suspected something between her and Yu Chengliang.
We always seem unable to trust each other. Is it because our love isn't strong enough, or are we simply not on the same wavelength?
We groped our way toward each other, testing our place in each other's hearts, but each time we ended up hurt.
This makes me feel very tired, and I think she probably feels the same way.
I gently brushed aside the short hair that had fallen across her forehead and kissed her softly, feeling a surge of emotion. I whispered something to her.
"Yafei, I truly loved you. But right now, I really don't know what the meaning of our being together is."
I loved her then, do I still love her now?
I can't explain it either.
I don’t know if she heard what I said, but her eyebrows twitched slightly, though she didn’t wake up.
But because of this drunken incident, I'm actually willing to give her, or rather, give us, one last chance.
You could say it's because I can't bear to part with her, or you could say it's because I feel sorry for her.
After all, she's the girl I've loved for so many years, how could I bear to see her disappointed and sad?
At that moment, I had no idea how ridiculous my idea would be, and that I would even regret having such a thought the very next day.
When I woke up the next day, Song Yafei was no longer by my bedside. Only the traces left on the bed told me that everything that had happened the night before was real.
After I washed up, I went downstairs and unexpectedly saw Song Yafei downstairs.
She sat at the dining table, holding today's newspaper in her hand. The early morning sunlight shone on her, enveloping her in a soft golden glow.
She was wearing purple loungewear, her soft, long hair casually draped over her shoulders; her languid demeanor was captivating, drawing all eyes to her.
Seeing her, I was pleasantly surprised and quickly went downstairs, wanting to talk to her about the surgery and my plans after she fell asleep last night.
I had only just walked to the table when she noticed me and I heard her say something.
"You're awake! Come and have breakfast. I thought I wouldn't be able to have a meal with you before this business trip, since I'm going to be away for a month."
A month?
So long!
Because of her work, she is often away on business trips. It's only been a month, so it's quite normal.
The words I wanted to say stuck in my throat. "Shall I help you pack your luggage?"
She turned around and looked at me. I frowned slightly, looking somewhat unhappy. She picked up her coffee cup.
"Let's eat first and then go. We need to pick up a few more items; this trip abroad will take a bit longer."
foreign?
It's going to take this long?
For some reason, Yu Chengliang's face suddenly appeared in my mind. Wasn't he recuperating abroad?
A somewhat absurd thought even flashed through my mind: was Song Yafei's trip abroad to visit Yu Chengliang?
Although I'm not sure, I'm very sure I don't want that to happen.
The things she said last night were so heartbreaking, but today she seems like a completely different person, somewhat indifferent.
I turned around, then turned back again. "Do I really have to go? Can I not go? I've been thinking of going to the hospital recently..."
But as soon as I opened my mouth, Song Yafei interrupted me, staring intently at me.
Soon, as if she could read something from my expression, she told me directly.
"Since you've guessed it, I won't hide it from you anymore. I'm going to see Yu Chengliang."
"This is a critical moment. He has encountered a good opportunity to cure his illness, but the risk is very high."
So, do you understand?
She didn't say it explicitly, but the implication was that Yu Chengliang's surgery was high-risk; it would either be successful or he might die.
So she insisted on going to see it.
I clenched my fists, feeling somewhat unwilling to accept it.
If Yu Chengliang is the last chance, then what about me?
What would she do if she knew I was also having surgery at this time?
At that moment, I stubbornly wanted to know what her choice would be.
So I chose to be honest with her, "What if I am too?"
Song Yafei was puzzled. "What is it?"
"If I also need to go to the hospital for surgery, what will you choose? Stay with me, or go find him?"
My heart skipped a beat due to nervousness.
I want to know her choice so I can determine whether I need to tell her my decision from last night.
Song Yafei frowned. "Zhang Tian, don't be reckless at a time like this. The danger of this surgery... he could very well die."
Nonsense?
I haven't heard that word for a while, it seems to have been since she started trying to please everyone.
But in her heart, I was still acting foolishly, nothing had changed.
ridiculous!
I turned around, and Song Yafei suddenly stepped forward and grabbed my hand.
My heart skipped a beat. Had she chosen me?
I looked at her; she seemed a little nervous.
"Didn't you always choose conservative treatment? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"Painkillers aren't working for me anymore!" I told the truth.
She gripped my hand tightly. "It's okay. I've been trying to find top-notch doctors. Once we find one, we'll have the surgery right away."
