"Child, wait for , you must wait for ."
Saying this, Chen Wenyu climbed off the bed, then began looking for sothing sharp enough to kill herself.
In the hospital room, Chen Wenyu searched every corner but found nothing. It was as if she had been possessed; her mind was set only on dying.
After circling the room, Chen Wenyu returned to the bed. She stared blankly at the IV bag hanging above the bed. A few seconds later, it seed she had thought of sothing, and a sudden smile appeared on her face.
"Finally, there’s a way." Chen Wenyu muttered to herself, then stood up and took down the IV bag.
Ring... Ring...
Just as Chen Wenyu sat down, the phone on the bedside table suddenly rang, but imrsed in her thoughts, she automatically blocked out the sound.
"Darling, I’m coming to find you, please wait a while longer." Chen Wenyu grasped the IV tube connected to the bag with both hands, speaking while wrapping the tube around her neck. Then she slowly closed her eyes.
Dying would be a relief.
As Chen Wenyu pulled the IV tube tighter around her neck, a new voice unexpectedly sounded beside her. Unlike the previous voice full of hate, this one was gentle, instantly soothing her pain and making her yearn for release.
Yes, dying would be a relief; dying ans no more thinking!
With this thought, Chen Wenyu pulled the IV tube even tighter around her neck, seeking quicker release...
Bang—
The sound of sothing falling suddenly ca from outside the door, followed by soone bursting into the room. A young woman in a nurse’s uniform hurried in, shouting in panic, "What are you doing? Stop!"
"..." Chen Wenyu ignored her, not letting go. Her mouth opened instinctively for breath.
"You can’t die here, let go, let go!" The nurse shouted while grabbing Chen Wenyu’s hands, forcefully pulling them apart.
Cough, cough—
As soon as the IV tube loosened, Chen Wenyu couldn’t stop coughing. In the anti, the nurse swiftly removed the tube from her neck, looking at the coughing Chen Wenyu with lingering fear.
"Give... give it... back... to !" Chen Wenyu propped herself up with both hands on the bed, breath yet to recover, crawling forward while glaring coldly at the nurse, commanding.
"Miss Chen, please calm down, you’re too agitated now, it’s not good for your health." The nurse backed up a few steps nervously, seeing the crazed state Chen Wenyu was in.
"Don’t ddle, get out!" Chen Wenyu shouted hysterically, reaching the brink of madness.
"Sorry, I can’t leave." The nurse retreated to the door, speaking firmly.
"You..." Chen Wenyu still wanted to chase the nurse out but quieted down seeing the crowd outside the door. She slowly squatted down, burying her face in her knees.
She didn’t want to be like a monkey in a zoo, observed with curiosity or mocked.
"Tell them to go!" Chen Wenyu commanded hoarsely, squatting on the ground.
"Alright, I’ll tell them to go." The nurse quickly agreed, then turned to the crowd, "Please leave imdiately."
Soon the crowd dispersed except for two curious nurses.
"What happened?"
"Nothing, you both better leave." To avoid aggravating Chen Wenyu further, the nurse didn’t explain, dismissing her colleagues and standing guard at the door.
Why can’t she die successfully?
Exhausted from squatting, Chen Wenyu sat on the floor. Seeing this, the nurse reminded her, "Miss Chen, you just had surgery, the floor is cold, better sit on the bed."
"..."
Chen Wenyu stayed still, face buried in her knees, seemingly not hearing the nurse.
Soone seeking death, unafraid of dying, fears nothing.
Knowing words were futile, the nurse wisely remained silent, standing helplessly.
"Excuse , is Chen Wenyu in this room?" A man approached, asking politely.
"Who are you?"
"I’m her friend."
Whew—
Upon hearing this, the nurse breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the man, then softly instructed, "She’s in a very bad mood and just attempted suicide, please try to comfort her. If anything happens, do inform ."
"Suicide?" The man asked, shocked, unbelieving.
"Shh! Keep your voice down!" The nurse quickly hushed him, glancing at Chen Wenyu relieved to see no reaction. "Be careful with your words, don’t upset her."
"Understood." The man nodded solemnly.
"Then she’s in your care." Finished instructing, the nurse swiftly left, the man hesitating at the door before entering.
"Yu, sit on the bed, the floor is cold." The man approached Chen Wenyu, squatting beside her, murmuring.
"..."
"Yu, it’s ng Qi, I’m here to see you." Seeing no response, the man identified himself.
ng Qi?
On hearing this, Chen Wenyu’s heart trembled, slowly looking up to see the familiar face from mories.
"You’re ng Qi? Are you really ng Qi?"
Chen Wenyu, unable to believe her eyes, stared at the man uncertainly.
"It’s , I am ng Qi." The man nodded heavily, sympathy overflowing in his eyes at Chen Wenyu’s swollen face.
"You really ca? You really wanted to see ?" Chen Wenyu trembled, reaching out. When her fingertips felt the warmth of his skin, she suddenly leaned forward, hugging ng Qi tightly, crying,"ng Qi! Do you hate ?"
