Chapter 17: Gray hair overnight

More than ten hours after Li Jingna's death, Cheng Jue finally dragged his tired body home. After suffering the loss of his wife, he completely collapsed mentally, both mentally and physically, and he didn't even look at his wife giving birth to a son at the cost of her life.

However, when he was about to fall headlong on the bed, he found that there was the purse lying next to the pillow, and a letter pressed underneath.

Cheng Jue was stunned for a moment, what the hell is going on?

When he removed his purse with trembling hands and opened the letterhead, rows of familiar Juanxiu small characters appeared in front of his eyes-

Cheng Jue, when you read this letter, I may no longer be alive. My due date is approaching, and I already have a premonition that my life is coming to an end. But I will do everything I can to give birth to our children. Because he is not only the crystallization of our love, but also the hope of the future. If the child survives, please be sure to raise him well and love him well, because he is a piece of flesh that has fallen from me, and to love him is to continue to love me. This purse is also a memento I leave for you. In fact, I came out to find you, not only to take revenge, but also to recover this purse. Because only the man I love the most deserves it. Now, I really understand who is my favorite, the man I should cherish······

The words behind gradually blurred, and Cheng Jue's tears ticked on the letterhead.

The next day, Cheng Jueqiang returned to the hospital. Because he hadn't glanced at his newborn son. Today, the baby is being stored in an incubator in the obstetrics and gynecology department.

When he held his son in his hands, he couldn't help but think of his deceased wife, and this time he hit tears directly on the baby's cheeks...

This baby is Cheng Xuedong, who has now become a well-known astronomer at home and abroad. When he faced the portrait of his parents and recalled the unforgettable parental love that his father told him, he couldn't help but feel excited. Because his parents' love experience is difficult for others to touch, he and she developed from a pair of enemies to a couple of lovers, and gave birth to a life with a low probability of birth - himself.

"Mom, thank you for giving your son life. You are giving your precious life in exchange for your son to come into this world safely. The son did not disappoint you, having become a technologist and studying the vastness of the universe. Now, my son is engaged in a great project, once this great project is completed, then the entire vast universe will have an additional eye belonging to our Chinese sky, to explore the mysteries of the planet in the deeper part of the universe..."

"Xuedong, come out for dinner." As soon as Cheng Xuedong said this, his wife Wang Shuzhen's weak voice sounded outside the door.

Cheng Xuedong didn't want his wife to be tired and shouted a second time, so he immediately bowed deeply to the portrait of his parents, and then hurriedly walked out of the bedroom.

The next day, Cheng Xuedong took his wife to the hospital for a re-examination as scheduled.

The results of the examination made the doctors' expressions very solemn.

An old expert invited Cheng Xuedong to the consultation room alone.

Cheng Xuedong suddenly had an ominous premonition, but he still mustered up his courage: "Doctor Liao, what is the situation of my lover?" ”

The old expert shook his head gloomily: "It's not good, many organs in her body have been seriously failed, and her condition has progressed to the end of the day." You should spend more time with her in the future. ”

Cheng Xuedong's heart sank: "Doctor Liao, is there no other way?" ”

"We'll do our best, but you have to prepare for the worst."

After Cheng Xuedong took his wife home, he suddenly became silent, but deep down he struggled fiercely.

Whether to accompany his wife through the last journey of life, or to devote himself to that great project, he fell into a dilemma.

Wang Shuzhen guessed a few points when she saw his demeanor, but still asked tentatively: "Xuedong, what did the doctor say to you?" ”

Cheng Xuedong reluctantly concealed: "Doctor Liao said that there is not much change, as long as you recuperate." ”

"Oh, so can you feel comfortable putting in that job?"

"No!" Cheng Xuedong couldn't hide the pain and struggle in his heart.

Wang Shuzhen's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but lose her voice: "Why? ”

Cheng Xuedong suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly covered up: "I just talked to Teacher Nan on the phone. He said that the project was temporarily shelved because the technology was not yet mature. ”

Wang Shuzhen's expression was disappointed: "Aren't you leaving?" ”

Cheng Xuedong's face barely squeezed out a few smiles: "Fool, isn't it good for me to accompany you more at home?" ”

Wang Shuzhen was silent for a while before she said in a solemn tone: "I am also an astronomer, and my greatest wish in life is to explore the secrets of the depths of the universe. If I can see the motherland's heavenly eye reveal more mysteries of the universe in my lifetime, and even receive signals of extraterrestrial life, then my life will be worth it. ”

Cheng Xuedong trembled: "Shuzhen, don't be sad, as long as you take care of yourself, you will look forward to this miracle." ”

Wang Shuzhen's eyes blurred instantly, and she barely suppressed the excitement in her heart: "Xuedong, I'm tired and want to go back to the bedroom to lie down for a while." ”

"Okay, I'll help you."

Cheng Xuedong hurriedly came over and helped his wife to walk to the bedroom.

That night, Cheng Xuedong almost couldn't sleep all night, after tossing and turning in bed, worried about disturbing his sleeping wife, he quietly got up and left the bedroom, and walked lightly into the living room.

The sun rose as scheduled the next day, and the brilliant sunshine made Shangjiang, which was in the harsh winter, show a hint of spring.

When Wang Shuzhen opened her eyes, the sun was already shining on the bedside. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, and when she found that the pillow was empty, she immediately sat up, was a little stunned, and began to get dressed...

When she pushed open the bedroom door, she was stunned—the entire living room was already filled with smoke.

Ahem, ahem!

She couldn't help coughing and quickly pushed the door shut.

Wang Shuzhen's coughing alarm Cheng Xuedong, when he realized that the living room was full of smoke, he knew that he was in trouble, and quickly pushed the door and window to ventilate, and he ran to the bedroom.

"Shuzhen, I'm sorry, my addiction to smoking is again." Cheng Xuedong is like a little boy, bowing his head in front of his wife and admitting his mistakes.

Wang Shuzhen didn't blame him, but when she looked up at her husband, she suddenly showed a stunned look: "Xuedong... Your hair..."

Cheng Xuedong was stunned: "What's wrong with my hair?" ”

He quickly combed it with his hands a few times, but did not notice anything abnormal.

Wang Shuzhen pointed to the lenses on the dresser: "You... You go and look in the mirror. ”

Cheng Xuedong's heart tightened, and he hurried to the dresser, and when he looked through the lens on it, his face immediately changed - a gray-haired man appeared in the mirror.

His head couldn't help buzzing, and he was almost gray overnight.

He endured the sorrow in his heart, turned around and laughed miserably from his wife: "What's all the fuss about? I'm getting old. ”

"But you're only in your forties."

Cheng Xuedong sighed heavily: "Alas, in a blink of an eye, I am about to run to the year of my fate." ”

Wang Shuzhen nodded tearfully: "We are all halfway through our lives, but we still have many unfulfilled wishes." ”

Cheng Xuedong held back his sadness, but comforted his wife: "Don't be sad, everyone will be old, and no one can do it without regrets in the journey of life." ”

Wang Shuzhen buried her tearful face in her husband's arms: "Xuedong, I can leave with regrets... But you are not allowed to leave any regrets..."

"What do you say?" Cheng Xuedong whispered, "Don't talk nonsense." We are husband and wife, we have to go to the same end, as long as we let love accompany our side, there will be no regrets. ”

"Xuedong, but you are not an ordinary person, but the hope of the country. Your actions are not to have a long-term relationship with my children, but to carry the wishes of hundreds of millions of Chinese children. ”

Cheng Xuedong's heart was hot, gently stroked his wife's hair, raised his head and closed his eyes, and squeezed out a few sad tears from the gap between his eyelids.

In the afternoon of the same day, Cheng Xuedong went to his unit in Shangjiang to run errands, leaving Wang Shuzhen alone at home.

Wang Shuzhen took the opportunity to grab her mobile phone and quickly broadcast a number-

Half an hour later, a young woman was invited to her home.

Wang Shuzhen, who was already sitting in the living room and waiting, immediately got up and ran to the door when she heard the doorbell-

Because her movements were a little hasty, the result was a whirlwind·····
