Part Three, Chapter 99: Love to the Depths

tful.Cheng Zhimin knew about the relationship between Dong, the secretary, and Lu Shaohang. She looked down on Dong's enthusiasm and didn't even glance at her. Instead, she turned slightly to Lu Yaoya...Zhang Ni said that the higher-ups issued a death order, to do whatever it takes to save him, and invited the most authoritative experts from across the country. 。But she was critically injured, and was put on life support several times, but each time she miraculously pulled through. 。It was her indomitable will and strong desire to survive that pulled her back from the brink of death, enduring pain beyond what most people could imagine. 。Zheng Ke has been a firefighter for many years and has also lost teammates. He knows the damage an explosion can do to the human body, so he empathizes with both her and Song Jingye. 。The monitor, who was next to me, specially brought a nutritious meal and said: "I just talked to your attending physician. I'll be in charge of your diet during your recovery period. I promise to get you healthy, plump, and strong enough to be discharged." 。"

The doctor said I could try eating some liquid food these days. I cooked porridge with chicken broth for you. Take a couple of bites first, don't worry, it's not oily" 。The monitor opened the thermos flask on his bedside table. At this time, Song Jingye, who had been silent all along, got up and said: "Thank you" 。Then, he took the thermos and ladled a small bowlful for her. 。Her bedside shook slightly, her body so weak she leaned against it. Song Jingye scooped a small spoonful and blew on it gently before carefully feeding it into her mouth. 。Her lips were still pale and tasted of nothing, but she tried hard to open her mouth and swallow, every bite slow. Song Jingye patiently waited. 。After a few sips, I couldn't drink anymore. The monitor beside me said: "It's okay, every little bit counts. Wait until tonight, and I'll make you some fresh ones." 。She needed to rest more, so after a while, Zheng Ke and his wife, as well as the squad leader, all left. 。The ward fell silent once more, with only Song Jingye remaining. 。Wherever he went, her eyes followed him, never leaving his side. 。Seeing her like this, Song Jingye couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you tired Do you want to lie down and take a nap" 。"Chen Ning reached out and took his hand, saying with concern, “You’ve been sleeping..." 。He may not realize it himself, he appears tidy and well-groomed on the surface, but the weariness in his eyes is undeniable, with dark circles clearly visible. 。After she woke up yesterday, he hadn't slept well either the night before. Any little noise would startle him awake, and then he would lean over to check on her. 。So at this moment, she held his hand tightly, so that he would fall asleep too. 。Her bedside was right next to a companion bed, he lay down slightly smaller, but it was sleep able, the two of them holding hands and lying down, probably because her hand was always warm, so this time, after lying for a while, he fell asleep. 。I slept until dusk, the setting sun slanted in through the window, and the whole ward was no longer stark white and cold, with a hint of warmth. 。

Midway through, a nurse came to give her an IV. She made a shushing gesture, asking the nurse to be quiet so she could sleep soundly. 。The nurse nodded, finished the IV drip, and quietly left the ward. 。Relieved to see the nurse close the door and leave, she turned back to look at Song Jingye. He had somehow already woken up, gazing at her against the light. His expression was soft, a little less weary now that he had slept well. 。"Aren't you asleep" he asked. 。

“The one who has fallen asleep woke up earlier than you.” 。Their hands were still intertwined. He stood up, glanced at her other hand receiving an IV drip, and went to get a hot water bottle to place beneath her hand. "This will feel better," 。"

Well, that feels much better" 。"Uncle, are you busy" She remembered correctly that before she went to Xili country, he had been busy with the No. 10 base in the southwest. 。"I'm taking a leave of absence."

"

Will that delay your work" 。”

“不會。"His condition was indeed poor, but the tasks at hand could be carried out without any hindrance by remote command." 。。Neither of them spoke anymore, and they slept through the night. Her condition was steadily improving, and she was well enough to be discharged for related examinations. 。In the examination room, Dr. Su took the wheelchair from Song Jingye’s hands: “Family member, please wait here.” 。"Take her inside for a check-up alone and leave Song Jingye outside." 。After a thorough examination, "He's recovering well. He should be able to try walking back to bed on his own in a while." 。"

Good" 。Chen Ling responded. 。Dr. Su didn't immediately escort her out of the ward. Instead, he glanced at her and said something inexplicably: "Bless you" >>> 。"Chen Ning thought she was wishing her a speedy recovery." 。Dr. Su shook her head: "It's a blessing for you to meet a man worthy of spending your life with, Song Jingye is worthy" 。Because of her words, Chen Ning replied, “During my coma, he must have worked very hard, right” 。Dr. Su fell silent for a moment. "You've been through a lot too. You had cardiac arrest once, and it took almost ten minutes of resuscitation to bring you back." 。He was standing right next to you at that time, and I couldn't help but think, if you hadn't pulled through that day, he probably would have been finished for good. 。"Fortunately, you're alright." After leaving Dr. Su's examination room, Chen Ning could only remember that sentence in her mind, "He should be finished for life from now on." 。Looking at Song Jingye who was approaching, her eyes reddened again. 。He hurried to ask, "Are you feeling unwell"

She shook her head. "Uncle, can you help me up and take a walk"

"Okay" 。Song Jingye helped her up, and she leaned almost entirely on him. They took a few steps, stopped for a few, and slowly made their way toward the ward. 。

"Uncle" 。" "Hmm"

"Have you read Lin Jiemin's letter to his wife, 'Letter to My Wife'"

"Yes" 。"

There is a sentence inside that impressed me deeply, ‘With my death before yours, I would rather have yours before mine’, which means that it is better for you to die before me than for me to die before you." 。Her tone was slow. Song Jingye stiffened as he held her hand. It was a suicide note, and he didn't like hearing the word "death". 。Chen Ning paused for a moment, then continued: "The first time I read it was in high school, he said he hoped his wife would die first because she was frail. If he died first, she probably wouldn't be able to bear the grief, so he'd rather she died first and let him bear the pain." 。Back then, I was naive about love, yet I was deeply moved by their heartfelt affection for each other. I yearned for such a connection. 。"Uncle, how lucky I am to have met you, and through you, to have found this kind of love. It makes me so happy." 。"But, Uncle, allow my selfishness, if I truly must die, I want to die before you. Because I couldn't bear the pain of losing you, you understand" "I saved you more for myself, don't blame yourself, don't feel guilty, and don't ever doubt your own abilities." 。Uncle, in my heart, you will always be a towering man. 。So cheer up, uncle. 。She added that thought to herself. 。Song Jingye had always been clenching his heart, unable to let go. At this moment, it suddenly shattered, and those suppressed emotions surged from the bottom of his heart, finding relief and an outlet for release. 。
