"Hmm."

Yu Sangwan replied with difficulty, her heart repeating his words ’after I leave’, feeling unbearably pained!

"Wanwan."

Le Zhengsheng looked up at the ceiling, "I seem to see my brothers..."

"No, no..."

Yu Sangwan was startled and jumped up, gripping Le Zhengsheng’s hand tightly, "Don’t talk nonsense! Ah Sheng, don’t look at them! Look at me! Don’t go with them! Aren’t you still waiting for our wedding? Ah Sheng, hold on! If you leave like this, I’ll never forgive you!"

"..."

Le Zhengsheng was very weak and said nothing, but his eyes slowly closed.

"Le Zhengsheng!"

Yu Sangwan, out of control, lifted her hand and shook Le Zhengsheng vigorously, patting his shoulder, "Le Zhengsheng, open your eyes! Look at me! Don’t leave, don’t leave! Do you hear me? Le Zhengsheng!"

"Wanwan..." Le Zhengsheng’s breath was faint, "You are so noisy! I’m so tired... I want to rest."

"No, don’t rest." Yu Sangwan shook her head, her vision already blurred, "I know you’re very tired, but you can’t leave!"

"Ah..." Le Zhengsheng sighed, "In this life, I was a step late, lost to Brother Lu, so... Wanwan, let me go first? I’ll wait for you on the road... This time, I’ll definitely hold your hand on the road, and won’t let anyone get ahead of me!"

"Ah..."

Yu Sangwan was stunned, tears streaming down.

"Le Zhengsheng!"

The door of the hospital room was pushed open, doctors and nurses rushed in.

"Miss, please don’t get so agitated! It will affect the patient!"

"Le Zhengsheng! Wake up! If you dare leave like this, I won’t even be friends with you next time! Ah..."

Helian Si also came in, seeing Yu Sangwan like this, truly heartbroken. He stepped forward and embraced her, "Wanwan, calm down!"

"Jinxuan." Yu Sangwan clutched his clothes tightly, "Save Le Zheng! He can’t go, he can’t go!"

"Okay, okay." Helian Si pressed her into his chest, "I promise you, I won’t let anything happen to him."

Crying for too long and too hard, as Yu Sangwan leaned into Helian Si’s embrace, her vision went black.

All her strength drained from her body, losing balance, she fell straight to the ground.

"Wanwan!"

Helian Si hurriedly picked her up horizontally...

Guan Chao, the cell.

The door opened, and Helian Si walked in.

The lights suddenly turned on, and Chen Ke raised his hand, closing his eyes due to the glare, "Tsk!"

The chair was pulled out, and Helian Si sat down.

"Tsk!" Chen Ke was impatient, leaning back with his eyes closed.

"Hey!" Ou Guanshen, anxious, knocked on the table twice, "At a time like this? Still this attitude? Be honest!"

"Hmph." Chen Ke smirked coldly but did not open his eyes, "What attitude? Isn’t my attitude clear enough? Do whatever you want, isn’t that okay?"

"Hey!"

Helian Si raised his hand, stopping Ou Guanshen.

"It’s fine."

Helian Si squinted, scrutinizing Chen Ke, and after a long while spoke, "You... look familiar."

"Ha?" Chen Ke laughed, opening his eyes, "Really? Who do you think I look like?"

Helian Si frowned, "Why do I feel like you’re challenging me? Can’t you be direct with what you want to say?"

"I just don’t like being direct, so what?" Chen Ke raised an eyebrow, a playful and indifferent expression.

Helian Si paused, a sense of helplessness. "Do you... hate me?"

"Wouldn’t dare." Chen Ke teased.

"Then..." Helian Si leaned forward slightly, "What will it take for you to talk?"

"President Helian." Chen Ke also straightened up, but his voice was very soft, "Have you ever seen an antique lighter?"

An antique lighter?

Helian Si’s mind twitched, something flashed across but he remembered nothing, shaking his head, "No impression."

"Hmph!" Chen Ke sneered and leaned back again, "If that’s the case, we can’t talk! Wait until you remember! I can only tell you... that lighter is mine! Not yours!"

Helian Si was startled, "Have we known each other for a long time?"

But Chen Ke had already closed his eyes, in a resistant posture, clearly unwilling to say anything. When Helian Si returned to the hospital, Le Zhengsheng was no longer allowed to be visited.

Yu Sangwan was packing things in the hospital room, her back to him, "I’m packing up, Le Zheng won’t be coming back."

Hearing her voice so mournful, Helian Si felt a bad premonition. "Wanwan?"

"Hmm." Yu Sangwan nodded, turning to glance at him, smiling more bitterly than crying.

"I’m resigning."

"Resigning?" Helian Si was shocked, "Why?"

Yu Sangwan smiled and shook her head, "I’m too tired... I want to take a break."

"Fine, rest... Take a leave! I’ll approve it as long as you want!" Helian Si placed his hand on her shoulder, "But resigning is not allowed! Don’t stay where I can’t see you."

"..." Yu Sangwan didn’t dare look at him, her eyes lowered, "No, I’ve decided, even if you don’t approve, I won’t go to Guan Chao anymore."

Helian Si was stunned, not knowing what to say.

"By the way." Yu Sangwan sniffed, "Can I have Qingming? I want to take him away..."

"Why?" Helian Si panicked, sensing she was planning to leave him! "If you take Qingming, does that mean I’ll never see you again?"

Yu Sangwan said nothing, her throat choked up so badly that she couldn’t say anything.

"Don’t do this." Helian Si was agitated, his thick brows furrowed tightly, "I know, what happened to Le Zhengsheng hit you hard... but, Wanwan, have you thought about me? This is not what I wanted! I didn’t expect him to rush over!"

"Jinxuan."

Yu Sangwan abruptly looked up at him, her eyes red.

"Do you know why Qingming is named Qingming?"

"..." Helian Si was stunned.

"Because..." Yu Sangwan sighed, "he was born in April, the spring blooming, Qingming season! I want him to always remember his late father! Jinxuan, you don’t remember anything, although...the current you also loves me, but you can’t understand the feelings we once had. To me, you are someone more important than life itself!"

This confession, like a branding iron... burned Helian Si’s heart to scalding!

Helian Si reached out, pulling her into his embrace, his chin resting on the top of her head, "Since it’s like this, why leave me? Don’t go, trust me, the problem will be solved!"

"No..."

Yu Sangwan shook her head, holding back tears.

"Do you understand? Le Zheng is not just my friend, he also saved the person I love the most! He... took a bullet for you!"

"Wanwan..." Helian Si stammered anxiously, "I know, I understand, but..."

"If Le Zheng doesn’t get better or passes away, how can I be at ease?" Yu Sangwan looked at him, her vision gradually blurring. "He’s seriously ill, but time and again for me... Jinxuan, he’s risking his life for me! He wants me to be happy, but... I can’t just watch him like this and be happy alone!"

Helian Si shut his eyes heavily, feeling a sense of helplessness.

... In this world, the most brilliant rival in love is perhaps someone like Le Zhengsheng...

He neither fights nor competes, yet the other side still loses all the same.

"Then..."

Helian Si slowly spoke, "What if he’s always like this?"

"..." Yu Sangwan was silent for a moment, shaking her head, "I don’t know, I really don’t know."

In this situation, Helian Si had no grounds to be angry at all.

He took a deep breath, "You’ve decided."

"Hmm." Yu Sangwan nodded, "Qingming..."
