Chapter 1: Before Rebirth
In April, the peach blossoms are in full bloom one by one, and a large piece of pink powder.
The girl standing under the peach tree smiled and raised her head slightly, and her delicate and delicate facial features were not inferior to the peach blossoms that bloomed just right.
At this time, there was a wisp of nervousness in her bright big eyes, delicate, as if she could pinch out the water with a slight pinch of the pink face: "Luo Hongyi, I like you." β
The girl's voice was soft, with the shyness and caution that are unique to a girl.
"What do you say again? I didn't hear you. The man in a straight military uniform beside the girl tilted his ears and raised his eyebrows, a pair of black eyes that were usually slender and contain sharp edges, with a thick doting at the moment, and a narrow smile.
"Luo Hongyi, I, like you, I like you very much. I'm going to marry you--" The girl's face seemed to burn for a moment, but she still puffed out her cheeks, as if she had exhausted all the courage of her life, closed her eyes and shouted at the man without hesitation.
The smile on the man's face suddenly enlarged, and he hugged the girl with satisfaction and sighed, this is his girl......
In an instant, he felt that his life was complete, and he bowed his head and promised very seriously: "Gu Nuannuan I like you too, I promise, I will always be good to you." β
......
Gu Nuannuan leaned on the hospital bed that was rocked at a forty-five degree angle, a line of tears slowly dripped down, and her heart became an unbearable pain. Maybe it's because her deadline is approaching, so it's easier and easier for her to remember the past these days?
Her eyes were glued to her gray-haired mother, who was coaxing her little daughter, who was less than a year old, but she chose to turn a blind eye to the man who was kneeling on one knee in front of her bed, holding her hand tightly and refusing to let go of the painful look on his face.
Looking at the tears that were still flickering in her mother's eyes, she closed her eyes and covered up the bitterness, reluctance and regret in her heart.
"Nuan Nuan, I don't want you to go......" Luo Hongyi buried his head deep in Gu Nuannuan's palm and choked out. Seeing her lying on the hospital bed looking unusually pale and thin, he only felt that his internal organs were swept away by wave after wave of overwhelming pain.
He had a hunch that once he lost her, he would probably not be able to stop this bone-crushing heartache and remorse for the rest of his life.
Even though he had worked hard to make himself stand on a higher place, what if he could see the mountains at a glance? At this moment, he still felt his own insignificance and powerlessness, and he still couldn't stop the Grim Reaper from getting closer and closer to her.
"Don't leave me, don't leave our children...... Shall we start again......" Luo Hongyi held Gu Nuannuan's hand, and tears fell to the hospital bed drop by drop between the fingers of the two.
A strong sense of fear, fear, and regret...... Emotions welled up.
Yes, at this moment, he finally dared to admit the fear, fear, and regret that he had hidden in his deepest heart.
In fact, this emotion began as early as the moment when she learned that her eldest son had drowned unexpectedly, when she completely stopped leaving him and his family, and frantically wanted to leave him--
Wouldn't it be nice if we could turn back the clock? Wouldn't it be nice if there was a regret medicine in this world? In that case, he would no longer be selfish and blindly ask her to suppress herself to cater to those people in her hometown......
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.
She wouldn't give him another chance to trust him anyway.
She has never let go of her son's death, if he had known that forcing her to keep her would lead to such a result, then he would have let her go as she wished.
He would rather silently protect her in the dark for a lifetime and watch her live well, which is better than letting the two of them completely separate the yin and yang.
"It's too late."
Gu Nuannuan looked at him indifferently, and suddenly felt an urge to laugh when she saw the pain on his face.
She really smiled, with an undisguised hatred and a feeling of joy that even she couldn't restrain from the depths of her heartβit was a big deal to see him weeping.
She knew that her time was running out, and she knew that the door to her hospital room was wide open because the people in her mother-in-law's house were outside. How could she really not see the heads that probes sticking in?
Oh, the people are quite uniform.
At this time, the people in the mother-in-law's family were not reluctant to come into the ward and pretend, but he refused to let them in and hinder her eyes.
She laughed and shed tears, but her heart was sad for a while. For the eldest son, for his forbearance at the beginning, and for his belated thoughtfulness......
However, only then did he know if it would be too late to feel sorry for her?
Her reluctant gaze once again fell on her mother, who was standing aside with Xiao Shengnan in her arms, gritting her teeth to prevent herself from crying, and her face was full of tears.
Is it worth it?
She asked herself.
Just for the sake of those people, she forced her body to burn down, in the good years when she was only thirty-seven years old, the man in front of her had just been promoted to the youngest lieutenant general in the league, and it was when the spring breeze was proud; When the youngest daughter was born and was less than a year old, when the old mother was dying and needed to be supported, she had to leave everything behind......
Maybe she's a relief to him.
In the future, no one would look at him with hatred, resenting him for letting go of her son's enemies so easily, and at the same time those who were his closest relatives.
He doesn't have to be in a dilemma anymore.
Presumably, his grief can always pass quickly, and soon he will feel relieved that there will be a new person to take her place in his heart, right?
Hehe, those people in the in-law's family will definitely be happier. Perhaps they once had a trace of guilt in their hearts, and with her departure, the worthless guilt would quickly fade and disappear, without affecting them to continue to live a good life under the protection of his aura.
And the only one who will never forget her for the rest of her life, and who will be sad and painful when she thinks about it, is probably only her mother and little daughter.
"In the future, if you want to marry again, send the child to my mother to raise. You're away from home all year round, and the two of them happen to be alone enough to be each other's company. In the future, there will be other women who will sleep with my man and beat my baby. β
At this moment, Gu Nuannuan no longer had any scruples when she spoke, she raised her eyebrows sarcastically and looked at Luo Hongyi: "Are you very disappointed that I didn't say, 'You are still young, your future is limitless, you don't have a son, and no one will inherit your ambitions in the future, or forget me, hurry up and find another woman to come back and inherit your ancestry' such virtuous words?" β
"There is no other woman. Nuan Nuan, I won't want anyone but you and me, and there won't be any other woman......"
Luo Hongyi raised his head, and the handsome face that attracted her deeply at the beginning, like a knife and axe, still had a fatal attraction.
The years have really treated him well, and more than ten years of time have not made that face half a point old, but have added a little more charm to a mature man.
Gu Nuannuan opened her eyes: "When I was young, I didn't know that if a man's words could be believed, sows would be able to go up the tree...... Now, hehe...... Ahem, how do you still tell me to believe this...... cough cough cough ......"
Before she could finish her sentence, she began to cough violently again, and she jerked her head away and did not forget to reach out and push her little daughter away.
Gu's mother understood what she meant, so she couldn't cry, and hurriedly hugged the child and took a few steps back. As soon as Gu's mother retreated, Luo Hongyi rang the call bell at the bedside while helping her agree, with anxiety: "What do you think?" You wait, the doctors and nurses will be here right away. β
As soon as the words fell, the doctor and nurse came in, and in fact they had been waiting at the door.
"No...... I used it to see it, cough cough...... cough cough cough ...... Let's, let me finish my words......" Gu Nuannuan coughed and waved her hand, and finally she finished coughing and lay on the bed panting, like a fish that lacked water, she felt that she was extremely weak.
Feeling that her time was running out, she didn't care about talking nonsense and directly forced a cruel sneer at the man: "However, since you have such a sincere promise, then I will reluctantly believe you again, this time if you can really do it, my son and I will ...... Just forgive you, forgive your ......"
Her eyes widened, looking straight at Luo Hongyi, but her voice stopped abruptly, and the last three words were even lower, almost inaudible. But Luo Hongyi still heard it, he nodded again and again, but his "good" word didn't have time to say, and suddenly the person froze suddenly, and keenly felt that the pair of thin and unsightly hands in his hands were hanging down weakly--
"The sick person has gone, please mourn." After waiting for the doctor on the side to come forward to check on it, he stepped aside and sighed softly, even if he was used to seeing life and death, he still couldn't be really indifferent to this kind of thing.
Luo Hongyi closed his eyes, and for a moment, the expression on his face was distorted with pain.
Soon he opened his eyes, leaned down and stared at Gu Nuannuan, as if he wanted to engrave her last appearance into his heart, he whispered in an unusually gentle and firm tone in her ear: "Nuan Nuan, I know you can't let go of them, don't worry, I will take care of them, and I won't marry another woman." You believe me, this time I promised you that I would do it. β
Gu Nuannuan's eyes finally closed slowly, and a tear slipped down--
