Luna looked over and was surprised to see the person she least expected to see here. "Xingyu?"
He hurried over and grabbed her hand.
"Can I have a word with her before she goes in? Please." He pleaded with the gynecologist.
"I’ll give you five minutes." The woman would have told him off since she didn’t have ti to waste. But from Luna’s reaction, this young man was likely to be the father of the child or at least soone very close to her, so she gave them ti.
Jiang Xingyu gratefully dragged her out of the Gynecology departnt, nodding to the gynecologist’s warning not to agitate Luna’s emotions too much.
She obediently followed him out of the building and when he stopped, she finally asked, "what are you doing here?"
He scanned her expression. "You don’t want to see ?"
"I..." her tongue stuck. How could she not want to see him?
She didn’t know she was waiting for him until he appeared. When she saw him, she was so happy that she almost couldn’t control the urge to throw herself into his arms, but how could she say any of this?
Seeing that she didn’t seem to have anything against his interruption, he let out a sigh of relief. "I ca to see you now because... any later and I wouldn’t be able to."
"What do you an?" She frowned, not comprehending his words.
"Well, I’m..." He let out a breath. "I’m leaving."
Her eyes went wide, and he continued, "I’m going to Canada. I will not be back any ti soon... so I ca to say goodbye."
She looked away from him and fought back the sting in her eyes. Who would have thought that he was going to say goodbye? "When will you be back?" She uncontrollably asked.
"I don’t know. Perhaps I will be back in ten years, perhaps I will stay there forever."
"Ten years..." She repeated the words, feeling as though her world had shattered.
"My flight takes off in an hour so I have to go now." He took out a pair of sunglasses and slid it onto his face. He felt a slight tug on his sleeve just as he turned to leave, so he turned and looked down. Luna was clinging onto his arm.
He patted her head. "I have to go. You should go back too. Goodbye, Luna." He then turned and headed towards his car.
She watched the distance between them get longer as his words rang in her ears. Ten years? That was an awfully long ti! Not to ntion there was a possibility of him not coming back at all.
Even if he ca back, he would have already forgotten all about her and maybe, he would be married and he would have a family then.
So, was this really the end for them? Would it be totally over now?
...
At a nearby corner.
"Co on co on co on... go after him! Don’t let him leave." Lanni sniffled.
Cheng Yu, who was also peeking, was so startled that she almost launched a punch. She patted her chest in fright. "What the–! are you doing here?" She whispered in shock.
Lanni crossed her arms. "Did you really think no one would know what you’ve been up to?"
"Quiet, she will hear you." Cheng Yu whispered.
Lanni peeked at the devastated Luna then turned to Cheng Yu. "Is he really leaving?"
"What do you think?" Cheng Yu winked mysteriously.
Lanni thought about it. "Mmh... did you co up with this plot with him?"
"Eh, that was quick."
"It was obvious." Lanni laughed.
"Actually, he was planning to leave. Not today, but he was making such preparations." Cheng Yu explained. "Because he didn’t think he and Luna would ever go back to how they used to be. He thought Luna hated him and no longer wanted him. The silly part is that Luna thought he hated her and didn’t want her anymore."
"They are knuckleheads. So you gave Xingyu a call?" Lanni guessed, since she had wanted to do the sa thing. The day before, she had given Jiang Xingyu a call and made him realize what Luna actually thought, and hoped that the two would have a talk. That was when he told her all about his plan with Cheng Yu.
"I know we must have agitated her feelings by doing this, but if she doesn’t think that Xingyu might leave and she would lose him forever, she will never wake up." Cheng Yu sighed.
"I hope she won’t continue being silly at this point." Lanni added, wondering why Luna had not gone after Xingyu yet.
...
Luna clenched her fists. She should go back now. The gynecologist must be a busy woman and she shouldn’t waste too much of her ti.
Taking a last glance in the direction of his car, she turned to get back into the building, but her legs felt stuck. It was as though they were being controlled by an internal force she couldn’t resist.
Hearing an engine start, she couldn’t hold it anymore. She turned and rushed towards Xingyu’s car.
She had rely taken a few steps when he got off and ran to stop her. "Why are you running about? Be careful, okay?"
"Do you really have to leave?" Her eyes glistened with moisture.
He cupped her face and appeared to be at a loss. "Yeah. I don’t have any reason to continue staying here, Luna."
"What about ?"
"What?" He was shocked, thinking he had heard her wrong.
She shook her head and grabbed his wrist. "I an, aunty will be devastated if you leave."
At the corner, Lanni and Cheng Yu slapped their foreheads simultaneously. "Really, Luna?"
Jiang Xingyu’s heart sank. He had heard her wrong and actually thought she was reluctant to see him leave.
"I am taking her with ." He threw in a random statent.
"Oh..." she sounded disappointed but didn’t say anything else, so he pulled his hand out of her grasp.
"Then, can you take along, too?" She looked up at him pleadingly. He took his sunglasses off in shock, as though they were obstructing his hearing.
Her heart raced as she desperately grabbed this chance. "Xingyu, I love you... I... I can get soone to bring my passport really quick. Let co with you please?"
"Luna, what did you say?" He thought he was hallucinating from having hiped for too much.
"I can’t live without you..." She couldn’t stop her tears anymore.
