After Tang Yin returned from Yunnan, although she looked very happy on the surface, Xia Wanyuan saw that she had lost weight day after day.
“Tang Yin, guess who I met at the restaurant today?” Chen Yun came back with a pile of things and placed the food in front of Tang Yin.
“Who is it?” Tang Yin split the chopsticks and stuffed the food into her mouth without tasting it.
“Fu Li, Best Actor Fu. Isn’t he your friend?”
“Oh, yes. He’s been on blind dates recently. It’s quite normal for him to go to a restaurant to eat, right?” Tang Yin barely suppressed the bitterness in her heart and casually pulled some food into her mouth.
“No, I saw him eating with a man and kept saying things like hospital checkups. Is Mr. Fu sick? He looks quite pale.” Chen Yun deliberated over his words, afraid that Tang Yin would think too much.
Tang Yin herself was uneasy, so how could she have the time to observe Chen Yun’s expression? “I don’t know. I don’t contact him much now.”
“Alright, hey, why did you eat the ginger?” Chen Yun suddenly shouted. Only then did Tang Yin realize that she had chewed a mouthful of ginger.
She had never eaten ginger before.
Chen Yun’s words still worried Tang Yin a little. She indirectly asked for Yan Ci’s phone number.
“Sister Tang, persuade Senior Brother. His body looks really scary recently. I feel that he can collapse if the wind blows. He needs to go for a checkup to know how his body is. He can’t delay it anymore.”
“Okay, I know. I’ll tell him.” After hearing Yan Ci’s words, Tang Yin was even more worried. Fu Li had always had a habit of not liking to go to the hospital when he was sick.
In the past, when the three of them lived together, she would force Fu Li to go to the hospital no matter what illness he had.
After sitting in the studio for a long time, Tang Yin finally stood up and called Yan Ci. However, Yan Ci did not know where Fu Li was living now.
Tang Yin thought for a while and drove to the small apartment they had lived in ten years ago. As expected, there were shoes at the door of the apartment.
Tang Yin found the key under the shoe box at the side. When she opened the door, it was as if yesterday was right in front of her. The decorations in the house did not change much. Even the air in the house felt like it was in the past.
Hot water gurgled on the kitchen stove. The steam in the air blurred Tang Yin’s eyes.
She pushed open Fu Li’s bedroom door and saw him lying on the bed with a frown.
“Fu Li, wake up.” Tang Yin reached out to touch Fu Li’s forehead, shocked by the high temperature on his forehead. “You have a fever, Fu Li!”
]However, no matter how Tang Yin shouted, Fu Li did not react. Tang Yin could only pack his things.
She looked delicate, but after opening a flower shop for four to five years, she had been managing everything herself. Even the various flower pots and pans were carried by her.
Tang Yin grabbed Fu Li’s arm and carried him on her shoulder with all her might. Fu Li looked thin, but he was actually not light at all. When Tang Yin carried him down, his entire body was covered in a layer of sweat.
Worried that Fu Li’s condition would worsen, Tang Yin did not bother to rest and drove to the hospital.
“Doctor, can you do a simple examination for him?” After sending Fu Li to the ward, Tang Yin pulled the doctor back.
“Sure. Are you the patient’s family member?”
“I am.” After hesitating for a moment, Tang Yin nodded.
“Okay, then wait here. We’ll inform you when we have results.”
Tang Yin waited anxiously in the ward for a long time before Fu Li was finally pushed back.
“He fainted because of a fever. He’ll be fine after resting for a few days and getting an injection for two days.” The nurse’s words relieved Tang Yin. Tang Yin felt very uncomfortable as she looked at the pale-faced Fu Li on the bed.
“However, our Doctor Liang wants you to go to the office. He has something to say to you in person.” Before Tang Yin’s heart could relax, the nurse’s words made her uneasy again.
A huge panic suddenly rose in her heart. After instructing the nurse to take good care of Fu Li, Tang Yin went to the doctor’s office.
“Doctor Liang, is the result of his examination out?” Tang Yin did not realize it herself. Her voice was trembling slightly.
“Yes, it’s out. You have to be mentally prepared. The patient had a benign tumor in his brain five years ago. For some reason, he kept delaying treatment. Now, it has developed into a malignant tumor.”
The doctor’s words were like a huge hammer that smashed Tang Yin’s consciousness into pieces. After a while, Tang Yin found her voice. “Doctor, what do you mean??”
“He might not live for long. This tumor was completely treatable five years ago, but it’s too late now. It’s already suppressed his central nervous system. The family members should prepare themselves and see if he has any wishes left.”
Tang Yin did not know how she walked back to the long corridor from the office to the ward.
All the noise and human voices seemed to be in a different world from hers. Bits and pieces of Fu Li swept across her mind, as if she was looking at the lights on the road.
The sunny youth, then the handsome and promising Best Actor.
How could it be a tumor? Five years ago, it was the time I disappeared. Tang Yin’s heart was pierced. I was the one who had harmed him.
Tang Yin pinched her palm tightly. She did not even realize that she was dripping blood non-stop. When she walked to the door of the ward, Tang Yin suddenly came to her senses. She raised her hand to touch her face, which was already filled with tears.
The person who came out of the female toilet saw that Tang Yin’s face was filled with tears and blood and walked in with lifeless eyes. She thought that she had met a lunatic and was so frightened that she hurriedly leaned against the wall and left.
Tang Yin entered a cubicle and sat inside in a daze.
She did not know what she had done wrong.
From being an orphan in the mountains, she picked up leftovers and ate them all the way to Beijing under a big truck. She washed the dishes for the restaurant and worked as extras for the production team. She had to suffer a lot to finally make a name for herself in Beijing.
She had thought that there would be light at the end of the tunnel, but she did not expect the person closest to her to give her the most fatal blow.
She had come alone. In all these years, the only person who was still around was Fu Li. But now, the heavens were even taking Fu Li away.
After some time, Tang Yin felt that her tears had dried up. Only then did she stand up, wash her face in front of the mirror, and wipe all her tears.
When she walked out of the bathroom again, it was that invincible Tang Yin.
Thinking that Fu Li should have not eaten for a long time, Tang Yin went downstairs to buy some porridge and light dishes.
When he pushed open the ward door again, Fu Li was already awake. Seeing Tang Yin, Fu Li’s hand subconsciously moved, but his expression was very cold. “Why are you here?”
“Are you hungry? Have some porridge. It’s your favorite corn porridge.” Tang Yin lowered her eyes and quietly stirred the porridge in the bowl.
Fu Li could tell that Tang Yin had cried.
