Chapter 185: Chapter 185 I’ll Talk to Her_1

Wen Nuan suggested, "Shall I go in and check on Yunhuan? I’ll try to comfort her."

"Go ahead!" Second Sister-in-law said, "Try to enlighten her more."

Qi Cheng sat down at the dining table. Second Sister-in-law served him some food. "Su Zi hasn’t eaten anything either. You should go check on her."

Qi Cheng responded with a nod.

Second Sister-in-law asked, "What are the plans for Chenchen’s funeral?"

"Their family doesn’t have many relatives, just some acquaintances. Please help notify them. Keep it as simple as possible."

"Yes, I’ve already asked your Second Brother to look at the cemetery. The thought of that child being only in his teens makes our hearts ache."

Qi Cheng didn’t say anything. He just ate quietly.

He had always cared for Chenchen. It was clear his mood was terrible, but at this time, he couldn’t show it.

He was a man, and her support. He had to be stronger than anyone else.

After dinner, Qi Cheng went upstairs to see Su Zi. He knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response. So he asked a maid to open the door directly.

He walked in and saw Su Zi sitting by the window, staring blankly at a painting.

He said, "Why didn’t you open the door?"

Su Zi didn’t respond, her eyes red, looking quite pitiful.

Qi Cheng looked at the maid next to him and whispered a few words. The maid left and came back with something a moment later.

Qi Cheng said, "Chenchen recorded something for you before he passed. He left it especially for you. Do you want to see it?"

Su Zi looked up at the DV in the maid’s hand.

Of course, she wanted to see it, so she reached out for it. Qi Cheng didn’t give it to her right away and said, "Eat something first."

The maid brought in some food. Su Zi glanced at it, moved to the dining table, and sat down. Seeing how easily consoled she was, Qi Cheng felt quite relieved. He sat down too. "Before your parents arrived, Chenchen already told me he didn’t have much time left. He asked me to take good care of you and his sister after he left. Although he was very young, he was never afraid of death. His only worry was that those he loved would be sad and hurt by his passing. So, Su Zi, even though he’s gone, you need to take good care of yourself. That’s the best way to honor the one you loved the most, do you understand?"

Listening to his words, Su Zi’s tears fell again.

She didn’t doubt Qi Cheng’s words.

She knew Chenchen well.

He could always see everything clearly.

Even on Christmas Eve, when he deliberately stayed out with her, he just wanted to spend their only Christmas together.

He had long since prepared himself to leave.

So, he gave her happiness and wanted her to lose hope.

Only thinking about these things made her heart ache more.

If she had known the outcome, she would have stayed by his side during his last days.

But she had foolishly thought they had a lot of time together.

Seeing her so sad, Qi Cheng knew it would take some time for her to completely accept things. After watching Su Zi finish her meal, he left.

He wanted to check on Ji Yunhuan but heard Wen Nuan’s voice inside. Pausing at the door, he didn’t go in.

Ji Yunhuan lay on the bed. Wen Nuan was surprised. "Everyone says you’re in a bad mood. I thought I would see a weeping beauty when I came up, but you seem quite calm."

This was what hurt Ji Yunhuan the most.

She looked at Wen Nuan coolly. "Do you find it laughable too? If I could cry for him now, maybe I wouldn’t feel so bad. But just like when my parents passed, I can’t cry. What’s the use of tears when someone is deeply sad?"

"Yes!" Wen Nuan couldn’t help but say, "When your parents passed away, people who knew you said Ji Yunhuan is really cold-hearted, not shedding a single tear when her parents died. But how could they know your inner suffering."

Talking about past events and comparing them to now, she realized it was just history repeating itself.

Wen Nuan said, "You managed to accept your parents’ unexpected passing. You should also accept Chenchen’s situation."

"I already accepted it." Ji Yunhuan looked out the window at the gray sky. "He knew he wouldn’t make it! That’s why he asked me to accompany him before the surgery. It was then that I felt he was leaving. But I kept telling myself it was just an illusion. It couldn’t be true. Do you understand that feeling? Knowing what the future holds, but all you can do is watch it unfold, unable to change anything. Or, you could change it, but you didn’t make the right choice."

She raised her hands, trying to grasp something, feeling the true powerlessness.

She recalled all of Chenchen’s behavior previously. He clearly had a premonition, but...

But still...

She signed the papers.

She let the situation unfold into an unmanageable conclusion.

Wen Nuan reached out her hand. "It’s alright, Yunhuan. I know you’re very sad. I also saw how much you tried for Chenchen these five years, but his departure isn’t a bad thing. Even if he’s not by your side, he’ll always be in your heart. Don’t be sad..."

"The more you tell me not to be sad, the more my heart aches." Ji Yunhuan closed her eyes, not wanting to recall everything. But whenever she lay down, whenever she let go, she thought of Chenchen, her beloved brother, her only family member.

She didn’t even keep her last family member. What did she have left?

"Okay, let’s not talk about it anymore, alright? Eat something. Chenchen still left many things for you to do. Since you can’t let go of him, you should accompany him on his last journey." Wen Nuan looked at her and said.

Mentioning Chenchen’s last rites, Ji Yunhuan finally showed some emotion.

Yes, she knew she had always been willful, but there were still many things she hadn’t finished.

Qi Cheng waited at the door and soon saw Wen Nuan come out. Wen Nuan said, "Prepare some food for her."

He nodded. "Okay."

Because he was worried about Ji Yunhuan, he tried to be considerate of her feelings when speaking, not knowing that what she wanted wasn’t comfort.

It was the harsh truth!

...Only those would make her clear-headed.

Qi Cheng quickly had someone bring in the prepared food. When he entered the room, Ji Yunhuan was already up. She had just washed her face and stepped out, still in her pajamas.

Just one day, and she seemed to have lost an unknown amount of weight. The pajamas on her looked like they were hanging on an empty frame.

She sat down on a chair. Qi Cheng watched her from the side. For the first time, he felt somewhat uneasy.
