"Stop talking nonsense!" Yan Chao's tone was somewhat stern.
"You won't die, and I won't let you die."
I closed my eyes.
"But, Yan Chao, with my family's situation right now..."
"My living expenses aren't enough either; I don't want you to starve with me."
Yan brother Chao ntly patted my back.
"Vivi, don't worry, we will have money."
"I will work hard to earn money and won't let you go hungry."
"When you get better, I'll take you to the amusement park. Haven't you always wanted to ride a roller coaster?"
"At that time, we can go together, okay?"
The corners of my mouth lifted.
"Okay."
However, my life did not turn out as peacefully as Yan Chao said.
That summer, my dad had a huge fight with my mom and left without a word.
The the Li Family went bankrupt.
Debt collectors came knocking every day.
My mom had no choice but to sell the house and the car, and she even sold many pieces of jewelry.
But this money was just a drop in the bucket compared to the debts.
One deep night, those debt collectors came knocking again.
My mom was forced to death in the bathtub.
Xiao Rou found me and took me away from that bloody place.
We took a train to the distant Southern City.
In the largest hospital in Southern City, I curled up in a corner, dressed in mourning clothes, looking disheveled. The doctor said I had a hereditary depression.
"Do you have any other relatives?"
Xiao Rou, with red-rimmed eyes, said, "Vivi has a boyfriend..."
The doctor spoke up, "Then notify him to come."
At that moment, Yan Chao was participating in a competition out of town. He had achieved great results and earned a chance to study abroad. He called me, his tone cheerful.
"Vivi, I'm going abroad for further studies."
"Wait for me for three years. When I come back, I'll marry you."
My nose tinged with sadness as tears silently fell.
"Yan Chao, I might not be able to be with you anymore."
Yan Chao fell silent on the other end of the line.
My voice was soft.
"I'm sorry, Yan Chao."
"I can't ruin your future and trap you in this small town of Southern City."
"I've watched you grow from such a small child into the outstanding person you are now."
"I know your life shouldn't stop here; you should soar even higher."
"So, Yan Chao, I let you go."
"You need to live well and take care of your health."
"That way, I won't regret my decision."
Yan Chao's voice trembled slightly.
"Vivi, why do you want to leave me?"
I laughed while tears streamed down my face.
"Because I hope you can live well."
I woke up from the nightmare.
The sunset filtered through the blinds, casting light in the room.
I saw Yan Chao.
He was quietly sitting on the sofa, peeling an apple.
His fingers were slender and fair, and his movements were deft as he peeled the apple.
Soon, a smooth and clean apple appeared in his hand.
He looked up, meeting my gaze.
"Vivi, you're awake."
I stared at him blankly, unable to distinguish whether this was a dream or reality.
Yan Chao stood up and pressed the call button beside the bed.
Soon, the doctor came in.
After a quick examination, it was confirmed that I was fine.
"The patient is recovering well; you can stay for two more days before going home to rest."
"But you need to pay attention to your diet and increase your protein intake."
Yan Chao politely nodded, "Thank you, doctor."
After the doctor left, Yan Chao walked to the bedside and handed me the peeled apple.
"Don't think too much; just focus on getting better, okay?"
I didn't take the apple; instead, I lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
