When I woke up again, the sharp smell of disinfectant filled my nostrils. I struggled to open my eyes, and what came into view were my parents' haggard faces. It was truly wonderful to see them again.
"Child, why are you so foolish..."
"It's our fault for not taking good care of you. From now on, do whatever you want; your dad and I will support you..." My usually strong father was hunched over, carefully choking back his sobs.
I turned to look at my mother, who was already covering her mouth and crying uncontrollably. Tears streamed down my face as I felt an overwhelming sense of regret.
"Godmother, please don't cry. Yueyue is awake; she will definitely get better."
"We all need to be strong and cheer for Yueyue!" My best friend comforted softly.
My mother immediately stopped crying and nodded repeatedly.
"There's nothing seriously wrong; the patient can be transferred to a regular ward."
"Family members need to pull themselves together and encourage the patient," the doctor patiently advised after examining me.
Seeing their heartbroken expressions made me regretful; how could I have done something so foolish? Enduring the burning pain in my stomach, I reached out to take my mother's hand, hoping to comfort her.
During my hospital stay, we tacitly avoided mentioning Lu Feng. My mother often shared amusing stories from my childhood.
"Xiaoya, you don’t know this, but Yueyue has been strong since she was little. That time in middle school when you two skipped class to go to a concert, when she came back, her dad whipped her with a feather duster, and she took it without shedding a single tear."
"Hahaha, Godmother, hearing you say that reminds me! During that time, Yueyue stood whether in class or while eating."
"When I asked her what was wrong, she stubbornly wouldn’t say anything and claimed standing was good exercise; turns out her butt hurt."
Watching them laugh together made me feel even guiltier; how could I neglect the people who love me most for a man? Tears welled up in my eyes as I struggled to swallow them back, saying with red eyes, "That's right; I am Lin Jianqiang."
Mom put down the apple in her hand, stood up, and hugged me to comfort me.
After a long silence, I said firmly, "Mom, I want to go to Berklee College of Music for further studies. I will definitely cooperate with the treatment there."
"I'll go with you. I received an admission notice from Harvard Business School and was still hesitating about whether to go," Xiaoya said happily.
"Don't worry, Godmother, I will take good care of Yueyue."
"With your words, I can rest assured. You two go chase your dreams; we will handle everything here."
Going to Berklee College of Music has always been a dream for both me and Lu Feng. We originally planned to save enough money on our own to study together. It's laughable now that I'm the only one still holding on.
After being discharged from the hospital, I focused on my recovery and devoted myself entirely to organizing my album, planning to release it before going abroad. Suddenly, I had an inspiration and asked the producer if I could add a song. The producer was initially reluctant. However, I insisted on giving him the new song I had written, and he was particularly satisfied.
He asked if I had named the song, and after a moment of thought, I said, "Let's call it 'No Future Meetings'." In my heart, I whispered, "Lu Feng, we may never meet again."
After the album was published, although it didn't become a huge hit, I gained a group of fans. My plans to go abroad gradually moved forward.
On the day of departure, my parents held back their tears as they sent me and my best friend to the airport. From a distance, I thought I saw Lu Feng's figure. Shaking my head, I dismissed the thought; we hadn't seen each other since then, so how could he be here to see me off?
I told myself countless times not to harbor any fantasies about him, yet every time I saw a similar figure, I couldn't help but hope.
Perhaps leaving Jiangzhou for an unfamiliar place was the right decision.
Since coming here, I have immersed myself in music studies every day, and my days have been joyful and fulfilling. My best friend Xiaoya calls me every day to remind me to take my medication, and during my breaks, she accompanies me to the hospital for treatment.
I met a fellow patient who is also actively undergoing treatment. We often share experiences on how to cope with joint stiffness and pain, as well as how to endure the skin redness and itching caused by light sensitivity.
A year passed like this, and everything seemed to be heading in a positive direction. I once again felt confident about my future.
Little did I know, I was never the one favored by the goddess of fate.
