Reborn, she saved the boy who was bullied to death

Chapter 346: Only those who are awake can endure the most cruel things

Every morning, a bunch of bright sunflowers would appear in the ward on time. The young lady in the florist shop also heard their story, and when she looked at the boy who was getting thinner and thinner, her eyes were full of pity and sympathy.

But Ji Xun never paid attention to her. In his world, there was only Shang Qing.

Each exquisite vase stood in a row. Ji Xun carefully tended to them, and his heart trembled at the sight of the golden flowers gleaming in the sunlight.

Until he saw that the first bunch had withered. Trembling, he took out the sunflower that had withered beyond recognition.

Ji Xun's face was as pale as paper, and he held his stomach tightly with one hand. Waves of piercing pain and discomfort came from there, mercilessly torturing his fragile stomach.

It has been a long time since he started taking care of Shang Qing wholeheartedly and he has not been able to have a good meal.

Every day, he forces himself to eat in order to maintain enough strength to care for his loved ones.

However, no matter how much food he ate, it wouldn't be long before the unbearable nausea would set in. Then, he could only stumble to the bathroom and retch into the toilet, as if he wanted to vomit out everything in his stomach, even the stomach acid.

In just over half a month, Ji Xun's originally strong body quickly became thinner. He looked skinny and weak, as if a slightly stronger wind could easily blow him to the ground.

Seeing him like this, Su Yanhe was so distressed that she cried secretly many times. But she knew she couldn't show any vulnerability. Not only was she Ji Xun's support at the moment, but she also had to pay attention to Grandma Haokang.

Su Yanhe had originally planned to pick up Grandma Kang herself, taking her to her own residence under the pretext of missing her. If Grandma Kang wondered why her grandchildren hadn't come to greet them, Su Yanhe had her husband's junior, the vice principal, explain that they had extra schoolwork and couldn't afford the holiday. Su Yanhe had, after all, taken Grandma Kang to meet the vice principal that time.

But after careful consideration, Ji Xun and Su Yanhe decided not to let Grandma Kang come to Kyoto for the time being.

Even if Su Yanhe hid it well, she couldn't guarantee that the attentive Grandma Kang wouldn't find out. Furthermore, it would be too cruel for Grandma Kang to go to Kyoto, where she was unfamiliar with the place and had no one to accompany her. At least back home, she was surrounded by friends and family, and her life was comfortable and carefree.

However, the problem now is that although Ji Xun was able to make a video call with Grandma Kang, Shang Qing was in a coma. How could he prove it?

Fortunately, Ji Xun wrote some code and designed a small program. This technological device could realistically simulate Shang Qing's healthy appearance, even the subtle changes in her facial expressions were lifelike. The program showed Shang Qing happily video chatting with Grandma Kang, successfully deceiving her.

Every time Ji Xun heard or saw the happy face in the video, tears welled up in his eyes, but he had to hold them back for fear of being noticed by Grandma Kang.

Su Zhaozhao, Xue Xuelin and others naturally could not hide it. After they learned about this, they would go to the hospital to visit many times after school or on holidays.

Looking at my friend who was always full of energy and smiles but now lying quietly on the cold hospital bed, without a trace of life, tears flowed from my eyes like a flood.

Especially when they saw Ji Xun constantly torturing himself because of his inner pain, they felt as if their hearts were thrown heavily to the ground and instantly shattered into countless pieces.

Every time they stepped into this ward filled with the smell of disinfectant, they would walk carefully to Shang Qing's bedside and sit down silently.

Although I know Shang Qing may not be able to hear, I will still whisper to her about the various people I have met recently and the interesting stories that happened. At the same time, they will recall the wonderful high school days together - those days when they laughed together, cried together, and struggled together.

Looking at Shang Qing's face that looked extremely haggard due to coma, their hearts were filled with helplessness and indescribable heartache.

On this day, the sunlight still poured into the room through the window, and Su Zhaozhao and Xue Xuelin came to the hospital to visit as usual.

Xue Xuelin gently reached out and gently grasped Shang Qing's slightly cold palm. She placed her lips close to her ear and spoke softly, "Qingqing, you must wake up soon! Look, your little Xun has lost a lot of weight lately. Don't you feel sorry for him at all?"

After saying that, a few crystal tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped onto the white sheets.

Su Zhaozhao, who was standing aside, stared quietly at Shang Qing, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her face was full of unconcealable worry.

At this moment, her mind involuntarily emerged with the deep friendship between Shang Qing and Xiao Xun. Recalling every moment they spent together, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in her heart, and felt deeply sad for the hardships that this pair of lovers had suffered.

However, faced with such a heartbreaking scene, Ji Xun remained extremely calm. There was not a single ripple on his handsome face, as if nothing had happened and he was just like a normal person.

However, only those who are familiar with him know that beneath this calm appearance, he hides a heart that has long been broken.

They watched helplessly as Ji Xun became thinner and more haggard day by day, his once handsome face now utterly ravaged by illness.

Looking at Ji Xun like this, they could only shed tears silently and had no idea what to do to alleviate the great pain he was suffering.

Later, after some discussion, they decided to bring some books and music to Ji Xun, hoping that these things could distract his attention, bring a moment of comfort to his heart immersed in pain, and help him temporarily forget some of his troubles.

However, disappointingly, all these efforts seemed pale and powerless. Although those books were full of wisdom and philosophy, and the music was beautiful and touching, they had no effect on Ji Xun who was in deep despair.

He continued to lose weight day by day at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if a precious flower that had once bloomed with incomparable beauty was gradually losing its vitality and brilliance.

Seeing this scene, they knew very well that if Shang Qing could not get through this difficult time, then Ji Xun would probably die as well.

It was for this reason that even Su Zhaozhao, who had always been somewhat slow to react, finally understood and fully understood the deep and special feelings Ji Xun had for Shang Qing. Undoubtedly, this feeling was by no means limited to the ordinary affection a brother feels for his sister.

As for the intelligent Xue Xuelin, she had already noticed something about Ji Xun and Shang Qing's daily interactions. However, for various reasons, she had always chosen to pretend to be ignorant of it.

At this moment, witnessing the unforgettable love between Ji Xun and Shang Qing, she couldn't help but be moved, and secretly sighed in her heart: So this is true love!

It is so humble and insignificant that it does not even need any gorgeous vows to embellish it; but at the same time, it is so sincere and profound that it makes people feel a heartbreaking pain.

Outside the hospital, Su Zhaozhao, whose emotions had collapsed, could no longer suppress the surging sadness in her heart. She suddenly threw herself into Xue Xuelin's arms and burst into tears.

Those strings of crystal clear tears rolled down continuously like a flood that broke through the dam, soaking the clothes of both of them in an instant...

They felt that heart-wrenching pain at such a young age when they didn't even know what love was.

So, what about Ji Xun? What was he enduring while awake?
