Chapter 390: Chapter 390: No One to Send Off

She silently said goodbye to City A in her heart, hoping that the next time she saw it, everything would be as before.

The airport was desolate in the early morning, with only a scattering of people seated in the waiting area. Each person, whether on their phone, reading a book, or engrossed in their own affairs, seemed detached, adding to the emptiness of the space and allowing a vast loneliness to creep in.

Fu Han followed behind Fu Xingbo and the others as they entered. She glanced around the waiting area, her eyes reflecting an even more evident solitude.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Bai Wei put away her phone, settled beside Fu Han and asked in a low voice, "Why hasn’t He Xing come yet? Does he not know when the plane takes off?"

Bai Wei had spoken so dismissively of He Xing the day before, but today, she was speaking with such caution that it made Fu Han’s feelings even more complex.

She would have preferred Bai Wei to speak as she had before. At least then, Bai Wei was simply indignant on her behalf, but now, Bai Wei was more sympathetic, even pitying.

And Fu Han, she didn’t want this pity.

Fu Han turned her head slightly, revealing a faint smile: "There are only two flights a day from the international airport of City A to M Country, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. What do you think, does he know?"

Bai Wei’s eyes flickered several times before she finally patted Fu Han on the shoulder and said softly, "You... Fu Han, don’t overthink it. Maybe there’s some situation with Xia Ning’s dad, and that’s why he couldn’t come to see you off."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the announcement came through the speakers: "Dear passengers, the flight to M Country is about to depart. Please prepare for boarding."

Bai Wei stood up first. She hugged Bai Qian and Fu Xingbo, then took Fu Han’s suitcase, and the group of four headed toward the boarding gate.

Both Fu Xingbo and Bai Qian looked at Fu Han with a complexity in their eyes, but neither said anything.

Although Fu Han kept telling herself not to appear weak, after passing through security, she couldn’t help but look back.

The waiting area, already sparsely populated, became even emptier after their flight began boarding, almost countable on one hand.

A bitter smile played across Fu Han’s face. So, her departure was to be in such bleak solitude, without a single person to see her off.

Feeling a sting in her eyes, Fu Han didn’t dare to look any longer and strode ahead. This time, she truly left without looking back.

Bai Wei, watching her resolute figure retreat, felt a bitter sweetness in her heart and managed to tell Bai Qian, "Mom, dad, you must take good care of Fu Han. Give her more guidance."

Fu Han heard her words but didn’t turn around.

It wasn’t until the three of them were out of sight that Bai Wei turned and headed for the exit. She hadn’t taken two steps before she heard someone shouting, "Excuse me, please make way."

The voice was familiar. Bai Wei looked in the direction it came from and indeed saw He Xing.

Her gaze turned cold, but she turned her head and pretended not to see He Xing, choosing a longer route to the door instead.

Unfortunately, she hadn’t gone far before she was blocked by someone. He Xing, out of breath, asked, "Where’s Fu Han? Bai Wei, where is she?"

Bai Wei couldn’t contain her anger any longer and looked coldly at He Xing. "Now you remember Fu Han? She’s already on the plane."

"On the plane?" He Xing’s face turned pale in an instant, even his lips losing all color.

Bai Wei felt a pang of pity when she saw this, but when she thought of Fu Han’s eyes, filled with unhidden disappointment, her anger won out. "Yes, on the plane. The plane has already left. If you want to see her, you’ll have to fly to M Country yourself."

After saying this, Bai Wei didn’t glance at He Xing again and walked past him, not looking back.

He Xing swept the waiting area with his eyes three times. He heard the boarding announcement and knew, just as Bai Wei had said, that Fu Han had indeed left.

The last glimmer of hope in his eyes extinguished, he turned a ghastly pale and started walking towards the door, each step leaving a trail of blood behind.

Right where he had been standing, there was a small pool of blood, strikingly visible against the white tiled floor, a red so vivid it was shocking.

With each step he took towards the door, drops of blood marked his path.

Just as he reached the door, he couldn’t stand any longer and fell forward involuntarily.

At that moment, a group of flight attendants approached, and someone yelled, "Someone’s fainted up ahead!" The crowd surged forward, and shouts rang out, "There’s so much blood, call an ambulance!"

As Bai Wei drove past the airport entrance, she saw the commotion and thought it was probably another passenger upset over a flight delay, a common sight at airports. She couldn’t bear to look at it any longer, and with a press of the accelerator, she sped away.

...

Time rewound to an hour earlier. He Xing’s alarm clock went off. He had only been asleep for three hours, but the sound of the alarm made him instinctively leap up and start getting dressed to leave.

Xia Ning was also awakened by the alarm. She opened her eyes on the bench across from He Xing and asked groggily, "He Xing, where are you going so early?"

As they spoke, the dim lighting overhead brightened, the sound-activated incandescent bulbs harsh on the eyes and making it even harder to keep them open.

This was a hospital, where Xia Guoxiong had been taken for emergency treatment after passing out in Xia Cheng’s ward from anger the day before. He had only just made it through surgery in the afternoon, and less than four hours outside the operating room, he faced another crisis and was sent directly to the ICU.

At two in the morning, the doctor came out and told them he was temporarily out of danger, but when he could be moved out of the ICU was still uncertain.

Worried about her father facing more complications, Xia Ning decided to wait outside the ICU. Since Xia Cheng, with his head injury, was still hospitalized, He Xing was the only one who could stay by her side.

Before going to sleep, He Xing had set an alarm to go to the airport to see Fu Han off. He had given himself plenty of time. Under normal circumstances, he could have waited for Fu Han right outside the waiting area, with ample time to speak his heart to her.

Upon hearing Xia Ning’s question, He Xing said while fixing his clothes, "Fu Han is flying to M Country today. I’m going to see her off."

After a moment’s thought, he added, "If anything happens with Uncle Xia, just give me a call. I... I’ll try to come back as early as possible."

Xia Ning had more to say, but thinking of Fu Han soon leaving City A, she couldn’t hide her happiness. She nodded obediently, "Okay, He Xing, I got it. Be careful driving."
