Chapter Thirty: They Were Actually This Close
Qing Tian reached out and held Xia Yang’s hand, saying, “Xia Yang, I’m sorry. It’s all because of me that you got hurt. I’m sorry…”
Qing Tian lowered her head and said remorsefully, “I’m sorry…”
After an unknown amount of time, her hand was held tightly, and she heard a weak voice say, “Idiot, what are you apologizing for? I’m not dead yet!”
Qing Tian looked up in surprise and saw Xia Yang had woken up. She asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
Xia Yang nodded and said nonchalantly, “I didn’t expect you to see me in such a sorry state!”
Qing Tian smiled. She reached out to touch Xia Yang’s forehead to check if he had a fever, but her hand stopped in mid-air. She smiled awkwardly, “Look at me, I forgot your head is wrapped in gauze!”
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly welled up, and she began to sob sadly. The moment her tears fell, she truly couldn’t hold back anymore.
She sobbed and said, “I’m sorry…”
Xia Yang was confused by Qing Tian’s sudden sadness. He struggled to sit up from the bed. Qing Tian reached out to stop him, then held back her remaining tears and said with a bitter smile, “Thank you. I’ve always been by my grandfather’s side my whole life, and no one else has ever treated me like this. Xia Yang, thank you!”
After speaking, she tilted her head back and desperately tried to force the tears back into her eyes, staring at the ceiling. She had lost her composure; she shouldn’t be so emotional, but the moment she saw the unconscious Xia Yang, her heart couldn’t help but feel sad.
Xia Yang was like the closest brother to her, her safe harbor.
Xia Yang looked up at Qing Tian, smiling to himself. It was truly rare for Qing Tian to show her true emotions in front of him. This reminded him of the grandfather who sold rice noodles. His heart ached, and he turned his head away, enduring it in silence.
Suddenly, the hospital room was silent except for the beeping of the machines. Qing Tian stood by the bedside, while Xia Yang had his back to her.
Qing Tian cherished the relationship she had with Xia Yang. She gathered her courage and said, “Xia Yang, what I said before was like a joke. Today, I want to say something to you seriously…”
Hearing Qing Tian say this, Xia Yang’s back moved slightly. He thought about turning over, but in the end, he remained in his original position and listened.
Qing Tian sat by his bedside and said softly, “Be my family, be my brother. I want to walk through the rest of my life with you, relying on each other!”
Xia Yang was stunned by her words. He smiled bitterly to himself, sighed quietly, and after thinking for a moment, said, “Qing Tian, you know my feelings for you are more than just family, and I don’t just see you as a sister.”
Qing Tian’s eyebrows furrowed. She said earnestly, “I believe you already know my feelings for Ji Xiangyu. I’ve had a crush on him for a long time, but I hope you can keep this a secret for me. No matter what happens between him and me, it’s impossible in the end!”
Xia Yang sat up and placed his hand on Qing Tian’s shoulder with difficulty. He said decisively, “Qing Tian, you are excellent. You are excellent now, and you will be even more excellent in the future. You don’t need to feel inferior in front of Ji Xiangyu. You are you. In my heart, Xia Yang, you are always the most outstanding. You don’t need to feel inferior!”
Qing Tian smiled slightly, looking at Xia Yang with relief. She felt very relaxed around Xia Yang. She nodded and said, “Then will you be my brother and stay by my side?”
Xia Yang looked into Qing Tian’s eyes and nodded heavily, thinking to himself: I am willing to accompany you for a lifetime, protect you for a lifetime!
Then he pulled Qing Tian into his arms. Qing Tian nestled in his embrace and said softly, “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. Thank you! We will definitely stay by each other’s side for a long time! For a lifetime…”
Xia Yang’s gaze drifted outside the hospital room. He saw Ji Xiangyu standing at the doorway with a bag in his hand, looking at him and Qing Tian. He calmly watched Ji Xiangyu, seeing the disappointment, sadness, and hurt in Ji Xiangyu’s eyes.
Then he watched Ji Xiangyu slowly place the bag by the hospital room door and turn to leave silently.
He wanted to stop him, but he didn’t. Could he be selfish for once?
For Qing Tian, Ji Xiangyu couldn’t protect her at all right now. He didn’t want Qing Tian to suffer any harm. He couldn’t…
Ji Xiangyu walked slowly, stopping by the corridor. He leaned against the wall and smiled bitterly. He never knew Qing Tian and Xia Yang were so close. Had he missed something?
Qing Tian’s words still echoed in his ears: “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. Thank you! We will definitely stay by each other’s side for a long time! For a lifetime…”
A lifetime. They already had a promise for a lifetime. Then, should he fulfill their wish?
He shook his head with a bitter smile and continued walking, his pace quickening. He wanted to leave this place, to stop thinking about Qing Tian’s words.
But, is avoidance truly the best method?
