Chapter 313: Chapter 313: There are too many helpless situations in this world

Xiao Xiao patted her head, "Don’t think about what happened just now, forget it, it’s just a lunatic."

Gu Yan frowned slightly, "I just have a bad feeling, she seems like she won’t let it go."

"It’s fine, if she really dares to do something, I will protect you."

Protection...

Hearing such words from Gu Yan felt particularly warm in her heart, she nodded, "Mm, I understand."

Xiao Xiao pushed Gu Yan slowly as they walked, chatting occasionally, both with warm smiles on their faces.

The weather had already turned cooler, with a refreshing breeze blowing through from time to time, making it feel quite pleasant.

After staying downstairs for an hour, Xiao Xiao would not allow any longer stay and brought her upstairs.

Taking the elevator upstairs, as Xiao Xiao just pushed her around a corner, they encountered someone approaching from the opposite direction.

Tang Yuxiu suddenly stopped in his tracks, Gu Yan quietly looked at him, without any reaction.

Xiao Xiao subtly raised an eyebrow, her gaze shifting back and forth between the two.

"Xiao Yan, aren’t you going to introduce us?" Xiao Xiao broke the silence between them.

Gu Yan said flatly, "This is Tang Yuxiu, you should know."

"Of course I know, the son of an enemy, still a friend of Lu Fusheng."

This world is really very small.

Xiao Xiao’s casual remark pierced a big hole in Tang Yuxiu’s heart.

Please don’t remind him of this cruel fact all the time, especially in front of Gu Yan.

No one, more than Gu Yan, feels more painful and agonizing.

Xiao Xiao understood this, so she didn’t say more, "President Tang, please make way, Xiao Yan needs to go back to rest."

Tang Yuxiu looked deeply at Gu Yan and moved aside, making way for her.

Gu Yan lowered her eyes, not looking at him again, allowing Xiao Xiao to push her past him directly.

Tang Yuxiu’s hand moved slightly, the cool air brushing past his fingertips, leaving only a chilling coldness.

Now, it’s not the time yet.

Tang Yuxiu told himself this.

...

Xiao Xiao came to the hospital every day to accompany Gu Yan, taking her downstairs for walks and to enjoy the sun.

Xiao Xiao knew that Tang Yuxiu watched Gu Yan from the shadows many times, but she didn’t point it out.

There was no particular reason, maybe it was because she felt sorry for these lovers who couldn’t be together.

Many people in the world have many things they can’t do anything about.

Those in love can’t be together, those not in love have to make do for a lifetime.

"Xiao Yan, your complexion has obviously improved in recent days."

"It might be because I’ve been getting some sun."

In recent days, Gu Yan’s complexion had obviously improved, and her body’s recovery speeded up as well.

Not staying cooped up in the room all day, going out for a walk, her mood lightened, naturally speeding up her recovery.

Gu Yan no longer needed to sit in a wheelchair to be pushed downstairs by Xiao Xiao.

Yan Shuo saw Gu Yan’s body improving and felt much more at ease. Just then, there were matters at the M Country headquarters requiring his attention, so he left with ease.

"Has Yan Shuo arrived there?"

"Judging by the time, he should have arrived. Don’t worry, he’s a grown man returning to his own home, he’s not going to get lost."

Gu Yan smiled shyly, "I was just asking."

Xiao Xiao smiled too, saying, "Tomorrow I have to visit the neighboring city, for these few days, let Xiao Hui accompany you downstairs for walks, it’s good for your recovery."

"Alright, if you have business to attend to, go ahead, no need to constantly worry about me."

Xiao Xiao smiled softly, how could she not worry, the once-lost-now-regained precious jewel, her whole family highly values her.

"By the way, remember to have Xiao Hui keep a coat on hand if it’s windy, don’t catch a cold, you know your body can’t handle a chill?"

"I understand, don’t worry too much about me, just come back to see me as soon as you’re done, I’ll miss you." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"I’m really happy that after all these days you rely on my company, and when I’m gone, you’ll miss me."

Gu Yan linked her arm with hers, "If I were a man, I’d definitely marry you, but unfortunately I’m not, so I can only rely on you."

Xiao Xiao laughed, "I’m straight, don’t get any ideas."

Gu Yan pretended to hit her arm, "I’m straight too, don’t think otherwise."

The two laughed happily.

It’s wonderful they could get along so well.

...

The next day, Xiao Xiao indeed didn’t come, hearing that she flew to the neighboring city in the middle of the night.

The task of taking Gu Yan downstairs for a walk fell to Xiao Hui.

Today’s weather wasn’t very good, with strong winds, so Xiao Hui and Gu Yan didn’t walk for long downstairs before Xiao Hui, worried about Gu Yan’s health, brought her back upstairs early.

Originally thought the next day would also be overcast and rainy, but surprisingly, it was quite nice, with little wind, so Xiao Hui was relieved to take Gu Yan downstairs.

Once downstairs, Xiao Hui realized she forgot to bring the coat and the bottled water.

"You go upstairs to get them, I’ll take a walk first, just come find me later, I won’t go far."

"Yes, miss, please be careful."

Gu Yan smiled, "This is a hospital, even if something suddenly happens, there’ll be time to react, moreover, I’m mostly well now."

Xiao Hui entered the elevator to get the items, leaving Gu Yan to walk slowly alone.

She saw a girl around seventeen or eighteen years old setting up an easel in the bushes, sitting cross-legged on the grass, surrounded by colorful paints.

Curious, Gu Yan walked over, standing behind her, watching the girl skillfully fill in colors.

The girl was painting a large tree ahead, with a bench beside it where an elderly couple sat, sunlight filtering through the leaves, falling on them, appearing so peaceful amidst this hospital of life’s partings and reunions.

As she approached to watch, the girl was reaching the final stages of her painting, and when she finished the last stroke, Gu Yan saw the tension in the girl’s shoulders relax, as she exhaled deeply.

Gu Yan, looking at the painting, praised, "It’s really well-done."

The girl turned around, saw Gu Yan, and politely smiled, "Do you like this painting, miss?"

"I do." Both for its mood and its content.

She glanced toward the elderly couple, one wearing a hospital gown, yet their hands interlinked, expressions serene and kind.

"I envy their relationship, able to grow old together."

The girl, also envious, looked at them and said, "So do I."

"You’re still young, you’ll definitely meet someone to grow old with in the future."

Hearing this, the girl’s gaze sorrowfully lowered, "I have no chance."

Startled, Gu Yan listened as the girl said, "I have congenital heart disease, the doctor says that if a suitable heart isn’t found, I have only three months left to live."

Gu Yan’s heart ached, feeling a bit at a loss, stiffly not knowing what to say.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t know..."

The girl shook her head, "It’s okay, I’m used to it, it’s no big deal."
