Thinking about it, she fell asleep without realizing it.
Because she didn't sleep well, she went to the company the next day with tired eyes.
Unexpectedly, that night, the man she longed for suddenly came back.
She ran upstairs with her skirt in hand and quickly opened the bedroom door.
Ji Yuting was sitting on the bed reading a book, his eyes focused.
When turning the pages of the book with his long knuckles, his movements are noble, elegant and unparalleled.
Just half leaning on the bed, that extremely handsome face can still make people weak in the knees.
Hearing the movement at the door, the man glanced sideways with dark eyes, looked at her tenderly, and called softly in a deep voice, "Shengsheng."
Shengge smiled and sat on the bed, straddling his body with her legs, holding his handsome cheeks with her hands, and observing his face closely.
"I didn't expect Brother Yu to go to the border and not get a tan. This honey-colored skin makes me want to take a bite!"
She gave his cold thin lips a few sips, smiling like a child begging for candy.
"Brother Yu, why didn't you tell me when you came back early? If I hadn't happened to see Si Nian standing at the door, I might not have known you were back yet. Did you want to give me a surprise?"
Ji Yuting had a faint smile on his face, hiding the look of weakness between his eyebrows.
"Yes, surprise."
Even though he tried his best to hide it, Shengge still noticed that his mood was a little low and his voice was very deep.
"Brother Yu, is this trip to the border not going smoothly? Why do you feel like you are not happy?"
Ji Yuting pursed his lips and smiled, opening his arms toward her.
Shengge understood and sat on his left side, leaning her head on his shoulder. Her cold little hands reached into his dark black nightgown and restlessly wandered around his warm waist.
He shivered slightly due to the cold, but did not move. With a fond look on his lips, he allowed her to ice him with her little hands and touch her skin randomly.
"I have a senior employee of Ji's who has been with me for many years. He has devoted his whole life to Ji's. He and his wife are also very loving..."
His magnetic voice spoke softly, and his expression was calm and relaxed.
Shengge noticed that he seemed to have a lot to say tonight, so she hugged his waist quietly and raised her little face to listen carefully.
"Recently, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and had only a few months to live. He didn't dare to tell his relatives, let alone his wife, so he wanted me to help him with advice, but this kind of separation between life and death
It’s really hard to make a choice.”
After listening to this, Shengge's mood also dropped, and she sighed with emotion: "He and his wife have such a good relationship. If his wife knew about it, she would definitely be the most devastated. Moreover, this kind of separation between life and death is the most painful for the living.
"
Ji Yuting's back stiffened slightly and his long eyelashes trembled slightly, trying his best to hide his grief.
"Yes, living people suffer the most."
Shengge was so sad because of his death half a year ago.
There is nothing more painful than losing something you once had.
If she were to endure it again, she would definitely collapse, right?
Shengge didn't notice his low mood because she was also thinking about his accident six months ago.
Just thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable all over, and her eyes turned red unconsciously.
Her snow-white slender arms hugged Ji Yuting's waist tighter.
"Fortunately, I went for a physical examination yesterday. I'm in good health. So Brother Yu, you have to protect yourself and don't get injured again on missions. We still have a long time ahead."
Ji Yuting's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his hands hidden under the quilt were clenched tightly.
Shengge's days in the future are indeed long, but his days... are numbered.
His pale thin lips opened and closed several times before he mustered up the courage to ask the question that he had never dared to ask before.
"Shengsheng, do you...still love me?"
He lowered his head and stared at Shengge in his arms with his dark eyes.
He used to be very afraid of this problem.
He was afraid that Shengge's answer would freeze his whole heart.
It will make all his hard work worthless.
But this time.
But he expected Shengge to say that she didn't love him anymore...
