Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 695 - 445: The Last Extra Call (2)

"Sure!" Tian Xin’s mother was anxious, but her heart felt somewhat comforted thinking that Song Xuyao had woken up.

...

In the hospital.

Qiao Xiaoyan came to visit Song Xuyao with a bouquet of flowers, having heard that Song Xuyao had already awakened. However, standing at the door, she dared not enter.

She had left with a heartache. After all, how many people could directly face their past hurts?

"Xiaoyan..." Tian’s mother, excitedly said: "Xiaoyan, you must be our family’s lucky star, do you know? Xuyao has woken up! Oh my, I’m so happy, thank you for always visiting Xuyao, thank you, Xiaoyan..." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Auntie, I am also very happy that Sir Song has woken up," Qiao Xiaoyan said joyfully, her eyes tearing up.

"Go in and have a look at him!" Tian’s mother, naturally seeking a daughter-in-law, had always been very pleased with Qiao Xiaoyan. She knew that Song Chenxi was the woman at the center of Song Xuyao’s heart, but since Chenxi had already left, there must eventually be someone who would love him, who would spend a lifetime with him.

Qiao Xiaoyan was somewhat reluctant to see him: "Auntie, I..."

"It’s alright!" Tian’s mother pulled her inside.

Qiao Xiaoyan immediately saw the man standing by the window; he had lost a lot of weight, wearing a hospital gown that seemed to hang loose on him, giving him a hollow appearance. She could only see his back, yet such a sight made her feel like crying.

"Xuyao, your mom has made soup for you!" Tian’s mother said, "Come, drink it while it’s hot! I spoke with Mr. Zhuo, and he said, if you still want to be a police, you’ll need to be re-assessed, so regaining your strength is essential..."

Song Xuyao turned around, his tone indifferent: "Who told you I wanted to be a police again?"

Tian’s mother was a bit embarrassed, but as a mother, how could she mind her son speaking this way!

"Even if you don’t retake the exam, you need to regain your strength. Soup is the most nourishing," Tian’s mother served two bowls of soup, one for Song Xuyao and another for Qiao Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, you drink too, try Auntie’s cooking."

"Thank you, auntie, please leave it all for Sir Song," Qiao Xiaoyan said softly.

She looked at Song Xuyao, but Song Xuyao did not look at her.

"Xuyao, this is Xiaoyan..." Tian’s mother couldn’t bear to see Qiao Xiaoyan being ignored, "While you were unconscious, Xiaoyan almost came to visit you every day, talked to you, it’s because of her a lot that, you woke up..."

At that moment, Song Xuyao looked at Qiao Xiaoyan, his lips coldly muttering: "Fussy!"

Qiao Xiaoyan had long known about Song Xuyao’s indifference towards her; even his occasional tenderness was merely exploitative.

Yet, after all this time, when she had hoped for his awakening, the moment he woke up, he was still so cold—it was a heartache beyond words for Qiao Xiaoyan.

She turned her head to wipe her tears, a forensic scientist, a woman who dealt with the deceased every day, yet still possessing a most tender heart, hoping that the person she loved could live well and be happy.

"Auntie, I will leave first!" said Qiao Xiaoyan, then she left.

"Xiaoyan..." Tian’s mother quickly called after her, then glanced at Song Xuyao again, "What’s wrong with this child? What’s wrong with Xiaoyan? Why would you speak like that?"

Song Xuyao then took out a cigarette; she was good in every way, the fault was his!

He knew too well Qiao Xiaoyan’s feelings for him, but his heart had long been a cold, unmeltable stone, needing no one to warm it, why add more trouble and create another pair of heart-wrenching lovers in this world?

Tian’s mother could not bear to see Qiao Xiaoyan hurt, nor could she scold Song Xuyao harshly, given the difficulty of his awakening; she had no choice but to chase after Qiao Xiaoyan herself, who was now hiding in the stairwell crying.

She had hoped so much for his awakening, willing to pray with the most sincere heart, to Heavenly God, to let Heavenly God hear her prayers, to let Song Xuyao wake up.

He had finally awakened!

She was happier than anyone else.

It’s just that his attitude towards her had not changed at all. The first thing he said when they met was that she was meddlesome.

She is a woman with pride. It was as if she laid her sincerity and true heart in front of him, yet he ruthlessly trampled it to pieces...

"Xiaoyan..." Tian’s mother handed her a tissue, "I’m sorry, Xiaoyan, for my sake, please don’t cry, alright? It’s Xuyao’s fault, don’t take it to heart, okay..."

Qiao Xiaoyan took the tissue and then threw herself into Tian’s mother’s arms. "I don’t mind. I’m happy that he could wake up, really, auntie... How he treats me doesn’t matter, as long as he can live well, I feel blessed..."

"Silly child..." Tian’s mother gently patted her back, "He doesn’t know how to treasure such a good girl like you, it’s his loss. It breaks my heart to think that you can think like this..."

"Auntie, don’t feel sad..." Qiao Xiaoyan raised her head, "Now that Sir Song has awakened, you should take good care of him. I believe that, given some time, he will definitely get back on his feet."

"Thank you, Xiaoyan..." Tian’s mother was deeply touched, "Thank you..."

...

After Song Xuyao woke up, Zhuo Yufeng and the brothers from his team all came to visit him. Although he appeared calm, seeing his brothers with whom he had shared life and death, and weathered hardships together, he was still very excited.

Everyone ate together. As they were always rough, drinking and eating meat without restraint, they clenched fists, drank, talked loudly and laughed at the table.

"When are you coming back?" Zhuo Yufeng and Song Xuyao sat together, "The brothers all miss you, they all want to fight side by side with you!"

Song Xuyao, looking at everyone’s eager eyes, said, "I don’t mean to dampen everyone’s spirits, but I don’t want to be a policeman anymore!"

After several rounds of drinks, Zhuo Yufeng placed a hand on his shoulder, "If it weren’t for you saving me, I might not be here drinking now, brother..."

"Why speak such polite words?" Song Xuyao was completely unappreciative, "I didn’t save you, I just..."

He just missed Song Chenxi so much, he missed her to the extent he couldn’t bear letting her be alone in the cold world; he wanted to accompany her!

"Sir Song, Miss Song has been gone for so many years now. You have avenged her, you really need to let go..." After drinking, the truth came out. Previously, during life and death, and in advance and retreat together, nobody dared mention Song Chenxi, the pain in Song Xuyao’s heart.

But at this moment, all were genuine men who had seen through life and death. The living must continue to live, bearing the wishes of those who have passed.

Song Xuyao remained silent; though he didn’t erupt in anger, Zhuo Yufeng knew that he still couldn’t let go of Song Chenxi!

"Come on, drink..." Zhuo Yufeng adjusted the awkward atmosphere, "Whether Sir Song comes back to our major crime team or not, we all bless him for waking up and standing tall once again!"

"Cheers!" Everyone drank together, then burst into uninhibited laughter.

...

At the Yang Family’s home.

The parents were sorting through Yang Wanlin’s belongings and found her photo in the school, showing her standing with Yang Junyi under a cherry blossom tree.

The two old partners looked at each other, unable to escape from their grief.

As tears once again fell, they wet the photograph.

Yang’s mother quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe it, unable to bear seeing her daughter’s last possessions ruined.

Just then, she suddenly saw a line of graceful and elegant characters on the back: "I only wish to spend a lifetime with my dearest love."

"Old man, look..." Yang’s mother broke down crying, "Wanlin loved him..."

Her partner looked and said, "Isn’t that the blind doctor? He accepted Wanlin’s corneas, and I’ve heard he’s already working at the hospital..."
