Chapter 2
Ai Tingya’s choice of words was very ambiguous so Luo Feng couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild. However, the tumor squeezed out all the unnecessary thoughts from his mind in no time.
If the world was a game, then the Heavens would be a completely wicked player who joked around with Luo Feng.
So what if his deskmate confessed to him in his current physical condition? He could only wish her well indifferently and continue waiting to be pushed into the operating theater.
Ai Ting Ya couldn’t hear Luo Feng’s thoughts as she continued sincerely. “I was very sad to hear that you were sick. I’ve always wanted to see you, but I didn’t know if you wanted to see me”
Luo Feng’s pale lips curled into a relaxed smile: “Why do you think I don’t want to? With a classmate that is the CEO of Goldman Sachs, I will be able to brag for a long time. Do any other classmates know your identity?”
Ai Ting Ya immediately smiled when she heard Luo Feng taking the initiative to bring up a relaxing topic. “You’re the only one”
Luo Feng said proudly, “So that’s how it is. I’ll be able to brag the next time I see them.”
He was still in contact with a few people in high school. After graduating from university, he started a small company with his two best friends which did quite well with their family’s connections.
Luo Feng would have become the envy of others if his parents hadn’t died and he hadn’t been plagued by illness.
He did not want to drag his best friends down with him after he was diagnosed with a tumor in his brain. He therefore took some money and left, waiting for his life to end on his deathbed.
However, there would always be a day when his wealth would be emptied. Luo Feng didn’t have any income and had to pay an expensive treatment fee. He was running out of money in no time.
Coincidentally, he met a kind-hearted person in society who helped him pay for his medical expenses every month. Otherwise, he might have died long ago. He was considered lucky to be able to hear the doctor’s treatment plan this morning.
Luo Feng faintly felt that things were a little too coincidental after seeing Ai Tingya.
He pretended not to know anything. “Then I’m honored. I’ll have to tell Yan Jun about it when he comes. Do you remember Yan Jun? He was the life committee member of our class. He’s put on weight and has to turn his body sideways when he enters through the door.”
Ai Tingya’s lips twitched. She wanted to laugh, but she didn’t. She paused for a moment and interrupted Luo Feng’s laughter in a low voice. “Is that so? Yan Jun has always been very fat. Speaking of which… I heard that you’re engaged to Xing Miaomiao. Why isn’t she here?”
Ai Tingya would definitely be first if there was a competition to rub someone’s nose in it.
The corner of Luo Feng’s mouth that was barely curled up fell off: “We’ve broken up. How can I hold her up now that I’m ill?”
He was not Auntie Xianglin who would pour out his grievances to anyone he met even though he hated Xing Miaomiao’s heartlessness.
Ai Tingya’s eyes were filled with heartache hearing Luo Feng’s answer. She, who was originally sitting like a statue, leaned forward and closed the distance between her and Luo Feng while gently holding his hand.
“It’s okay. I’ll always be with you.”
Her fragrance and the gentle voice were like the endless spring rain. Luo Feng’s dry heart felt a trace of warmth.
He smiled and retracted his hand without hesitation. “Thank you. And thank you for paying my medical fees.”
Ai Tingya’s smile gradually became embarrassed. “So you knew. I knew I couldn’t hide it from you.”
There were many caring people in society, but Luo Feng didn’t think he would be able to meet them so coincidentally. He must have accumulated good karma if the Heavens did not help him.
Who would have thought that the boiled egg that he despised in high school could help him exchange for a chance to extend his life?
Ai Tingya took a deep breath and continued seeing that Luo Feng didn’t reply. “I’ve been paying attention to you since graduation. I was very anxious when I found out that you didn’t have enough money to stay in the hospital. I originally wanted to transfer you to a better hospital, but I was afraid that you wouldn’t be willing, so I used this method to help you.”
She was mentally prepared before she came. She was worried that she would agitate Luo Feng when she heard about his condition from the doctor.
Ai Tingya knew that it would be too late if she did not tell him the things she wanted to tell him!
She gathered her courage and held Luo Feng’s hand again, speaking seriously. “Don’t reject me, alright? I know you’ve experienced a lot of pain, but there’s still someone in this world who loves you wholeheartedly, so you have to live well even if it’s for me!”
Ai Tingya could clearly hear her heart beating as she spoke, exactly like how it fluttered everytime she took the boiled egg in the past.
Perhaps Luo Feng didn’t know that back then. Ai Tingya, who was an orphan, felt inferior and timid. She felt like a snail and wished she could hide in her shell forever. She had nothing for her other than studying. Luo Feng’s boiled egg was like a savior to her. She strengthened her belief in moving forward every time she ate one…
Until she made a name for herself and became the CEO.
Her identity and mentality had changed. The only thing that remained unchanged was her longing for Luo Feng.
In the past, it was inconvenient for her to appear due to Luo Feng’s girlfriend, so she appeared too late.
Ai Tingya looked at Luo Feng with a heart full of hope, hoping that he wouldn’t pull his hand back and reject her.
“Thank you, Ai Tingya.”
This was the third time Luo Feng thanked Ai Tingya today. He didn’t move his hand.
Luo Feng looked back at Ai Tingya’s gentle gaze and thought. “She really likes me? But I’m about to die so I can’t respond to her feelings… But if doing this makes her happy, then so be it”
Luo Feng’s first reaction wasn’t happiness, but regret, regret that he made the wrong choice…
Ai Tingya smiled, seeing that Luo Feng didn’t reject her.
From then on, Ai Tingya would visit Luo Feng in the ward whenever she was free.
There was still a week before the official surgery. Ai Tingya used her connections to invite the best doctor to Luo Feng’s hospital and bought the most advanced equipment at a high price at the doctor’s request.
The work outside was in full swing, as if everything was developing in a good direction.
Only Luo Feng knew that he wouldn’t be able to last until the day of surgery.
He lay on the bed and heard Ai Tingya discussing the details of the surgery with the doctor in the corridor. His consciousness gradually faded.
Luo Feng knew that time was up. The sounds from the outside world seemed to have been blown away by the wind.
Suddenly!
An ethereal voice sounded in his mind. “What would you wish for if you could live your life again?”
“I hope I have a pair of discerning eyes and make the right choice!” Luo Feng blurted out.
The questioner was like a God, who came and left as fast as the wind.
Luo Feng’s heavy eyelids were torn open by the light. He followed the light and was swallowed by it.
Luo Feng sucked in a breath of cold air when he opened his eyes again. His leg knocked against the table and kicked the student in front of him.
A young face turned around and complained. “Luo Feng, do you want to die? F*cking hell!”
...
Luo Feng hugged his numb knees. His sensitive sense of smell picked up the smell of ink, paper, chalk dust, and spicy sticks in the air… The familiar smell enveloped him like a flood.
Luo Feng realized that he was sitting in the classroom with a young girl beside him!
