Su Xing had not dared to mention Han Ruoxi in front of Shen Jingyu again. For the time being, there were no signs of his physical condition worsening. On this day, Pei Yufei came to visit, and she had a few private words with Su Xing.
In the garden in front of Shen Guan, the frail Su Xing looked at the spirited woman across from him and felt a genuine envy. Pei Yufei spoke frankly, "I like Shen Jingyu. Ever since he joined the army, I liked him at first sight."
Su Xing did not respond. Her straightforwardness was sincere and direct, much like the style he should have had. You should be proud; he doesn't like me! Pei Yufei could sense Su Xing's calm and relaxed demeanor. However, Su Xing truly meant no mockery.
The connections between people are so subtle; they come together when fate allows and drift apart when it does not. Perhaps in the long river of time ahead, there might be different possibilities between you and him?
Pei Yufei frowned at this remark, "Do you think I would need your pity?"
"What have I pitied you for? A man? A lofty gentleman with his own will?" Su Xing found it laughable. Shen Jingyu was not some commodity to be traded; he was certainly not a thoughtless shell that could be given away at will.
Pei Yufei finally showed a hint of playfulness, "Then why do you say such things?"
Su Xing smiled gently, "So you're not here to persuade me today? Is Shen Jingyu hoping you'll dissuade me from my thoughts?"
Pei Yufei chuckled in understanding, "Exactly! That man is so good at playing mind games! He thinks highly enough of me to try to guide you! He isn't afraid I'll drive you to despair!"
Su Xing laughed; that man was becoming increasingly clever, as if his thoughts had nowhere to hide before him.
Pei Yufei couldn't help but ask, "Su Xing, your health is indeed poor, but do you really believe there's no hope for you?"
"Are you doubting something? Or questioning something?" Pei Yufei was somewhat puzzled.
The best and brightest people in the world have formed a powerful team to study my condition; what more could I possibly want? As for whether there is hope or not, unless you've experienced what I have, you wouldn't understand my current mindset!
I've known Jing Yu for over a decade; I might understand him better than he understands himself. He just hopes for more companionship. But he also has his own mission! Pei Yufei honestly did not believe that Shen Jingyu would truly consider ending his life.
We have all undergone special training, especially regarding this aspect of life. Since we belong to this team, our lives are no longer solely our own!
There is no greater sorrow than a heart that has died, and death itself comes second. I do not want to see him live like a walking corpse. Pei Yufei could understand her meaning, but sometimes the reality was simply helpless.
The two of them moved forward together when Su Xing suddenly started coughing. Pei Yufei immediately supported her, asking, "Are you okay? Let's go inside!"
Su Xing waved her hand and coughed for a while before recovering, but when she wiped her mouth with a tissue, blood trickled out.
"There's no need to be so tense; I'm fine. Just don't tell Shen Jingyu." Su Xing said discreetly as she wrapped the tissue up.
Pei Yufei pursed her lips in resignation and straightened her mouth. "Do you think I can keep it from him? Or that you can?"
"If I stand by your side, then the enemy will reach the battlefield in three seconds!"
After Pei Yufei finished speaking, Shen Jingyu rushed over in a hurry. How could he possibly feel at ease with Pei Yufei alone with Su Xing?
He concealed his presence and hid not far behind, unable to hold back when he saw Su Xing coughing up blood.
"I'll carry you to rest." Shen Jingyu said with a serious expression, leaving no room for refusal as he picked up Su Xing and headed toward the room.
Pei Yufei stood silently in the courtyard, gazing from afar, unsure if she was looking at their backs or something else.
Is it so hard to let go? Pei Major really isn’t broad-minded enough!
Pei Yufei had heard that voice for many years and knew without turning her head who it was: "Gu Xiaobai, do you think I can’t be your sister-in-law anymore?"
Gu Bai chuckled lightly. "I never thought you could be."
"Forget it! I’m too lazy to deal with you! With a little brother like you, I won’t be your sister-in-law!" Pei Yufei seemed unwilling to let herself be associated with that pitiful woman.
Watching from afar, always feeling unreachable was exhausting!
Oh dear, soldiers who seek excuses for themselves are not good leaders! Gu Bai understood that Pei Yufei wanted to let go.
"Since that's the case, how about we have a drink together?"
Pei Yufei slowly curved her lips into a smile. "That sounds just right! I want to check out your sister-in-law's bar—Galaxy Bar!"
Gu Bai replied, "I hope you're not going there to cause trouble."
With Su Xing occasionally spitting blood, they were all prepared for any situation. None of them would dare ask Su Xing about her condition—whether it was serious or how she was doing.
It seemed that he was gradually adapting to this physical condition, and then he wondered how long everyone could help him maintain it. The only thing that terrified Su Xing was that the child in his belly was growing exceptionally slowly. No matter how much he tried to nourish himself, he could not gain any weight. His increasingly emaciated body sometimes made Shen Jingyu suspect that the child was draining his life force!
After hearing his remarks, Su Xing gave him a heavy pat: "Which child doesn't grow by drawing blood? It's just that my current blood supply might be a bit insufficient. Should I get some nutritional injections instead?" Su Xing suggested.
Initially, both his aunt and grandmother agreed, but Shen Jingyu looked at the countless needle marks on Su Xing's body, along with the large bruises surrounding them, and he heartily refused. "Let's find another way to supplement! No more injections." Shen Jingyu decisively declared, switching the nutritional supplements to oral ones.
Although this would significantly reduce the effectiveness, it indeed provided some relief to Su Xing's fragile skin. That night, it was once again Shen Jingyu who helped him bathe. Now, every time Shen Jingyu looked at Su Xing's body, his heart would ache painfully.
"Have you started to dislike me? Don't you want to look at me anymore?" Su Xing gazed at Shen Jingyu with a particularly affected expression, his tone carrying a hint of reproach.
"Yes! I do dislike you looking like this! Does that make you feel better? Now you can continue plotting to whom you'll send me off!" Shen Jingyu replied sharply.
Yet Su Xing smiled slightly: "If you dislike me so much, why do you still touch me? Isn't it a bit beneath your dignity for such a big leader like you to serve me every day?"
Shen Jingyu didn't respond verbally, but his actions proved that everything he did was voluntary!
"Lie down for a bit; I'll prepare some hot soup for you. Wrap your hair up for a while; wait for me to come and dry it!"
As Su Xing watched the man’s back, who had become noticeably thinner, a pang of bitterness filled his heart, and tears involuntarily welled up in his eyes.
