Along the way, Lu Kai's expression was solemn. He didn't take the initiative to say a word to me.
I can understand Lu Kai's feelings at this moment, but I'm a beauty with flesh and blood. Does he really want to treat me like air all the time? No, it wasn't easy for me to get a chance to be alone with him. How could I waste it?
I was unwilling to be ignored by Lu Kai. I coughed lightly and looked at his deep eyes from the side. I said gently,"Are you alright?"
"It's alright!" Lu Kai's eyes were fixed ahead as he said expressionlessly.
"You and I both know about Yunshu's situation. What we can do now is to let her spend the rest of her life happily.”I looked at Lu Kai's well-defined face and said solemnly.
The medical standards in our country have indeed improved a lot, but leukemia still gives many doctors a headache. The only way to cure it now is bone marrow transplantation. Unfortunately, Yun Shu didn't have any siblings, and we couldn't find a bone marrow that matched her at the best time for the transplant. All of this meant that Yun Shu had no chance of living. I didn't want Lu Kai to continue living in a fantasy and struggle painfully between hope and disappointment.
Lu Kai suddenly turned to look at me and sneered,""Do you want Yunshu to die early?”
"Lu Kai, what nonsense are you spouting! Although you know what I'm thinking, I'm a doctor after all, not to mention that Yun Shu is my colleague.”Seeing Lu Kai twist my good intentions so much, I almost heard the sound of my heart shattering. All along, I thought that Lu Kai should be a good man who understood me and knew me, but what I never expected was that in his heart, I was actually so unbearable.
Lu Kai could see my anger and sadness. He sighed and lowered his head in embarrassment."I'm sorry, Ye Qiu. I'm in a bad mood right now, that's why I'm saying all this nonsense. I believe that you're the kindest woman in the world, just like Yunshu.”
Why must I add Yunshu to my kindness? Although I had a smile on my face, my heart was still cold. I know that Lu Kai only has Yunshu in his heart, but is he really going to turn a blind eye to my feelings for him for seven years?
"Lu Kai, so many years have passed. I have never forgotten the time when you carried me to the infirmary on campus. Do I have a place in your heart?”It wasn't easy for me to be alone with Lu Kai today. I mustered up my courage and asked the question that had been buried in my heart for seven years.
When Lu Kai heard my question, he was obviously at a loss. After a long silence, he stammered,"I haven't forgotten about that either. You'll always be my good classmate.”
" I don't want to just be your classmate. I want to..."
"Don't say it. Some words are good for everyone. I'll be there soon. I don't want Yunshu to be unhappy!”Lu Kai interrupted me solemnly. He stepped on the accelerator and drove the car to the neighborhood not far away.
I know that it's not that Lu Kai doesn't have any feelings for me. It's just that he doesn't want to give me a trace of love at this critical moment because he feels that that would be disloyal to Yun Shu and unfair to me. I'm not a narrow-minded woman. Naturally, I won't hate Lu Kai, nor will I be jealous of Yun Shu. I just want to see Yun Shu spend the rest of his life happily and accompany Lu Kai to walk out of the pain of losing his beloved.
This residential area was built last year. There were many high-rise buildings, countless luxury cars, and the greenery and leisure facilities were very good. It was considered a first-class residence in this city. I don't understand. Lu Kai has always been low-key. His salary should not be very high like mine. How could he buy a new house here?
Lu Kai looked at me looking around and whispered,""What do you think of this place?"
"Very good. I heard that the housing prices here are the most expensive in the entire city!”I looked at Lu Kai seriously.
Lu Kai smiled." Yes, but Yunshu likes this place very much, so I think it's worth it no matter how expensive it is!"”
Hearing Lu Kai's words, my smile immediately stiffened, but I still pretended to be indifferent and said softly,"I really envy Yunshu. Sometimes, I naively think that if I were her, I would still be the happiest woman in the world even if I had leukemia.”
Lu Kai didn't reply to me. He parked the car in the parking lot of a high-rise building and smiled."We're here. Get out of the car!"
"Good!" I unbuckled my seatbelt and got out of the car with Lu Kai.
Lu Kai used the key to open the security door and said softly,""Please, I think Iris will be very happy to see you!”After he finished speaking, he pressed the elevator button and I stepped into the car side by side with him. His house is on the 28th floor. In less than two minutes, we arrived at his door.
Lu Kai gently opened the door and I followed him into the living room. A woman in her fifties immediately came out of the bedroom. She looked at me and smiled."You're Ye Qiu, right? Yun Shu was still clamoring for Lu Kai to bring you to see her two days ago.”
"Yes, Lu Kai happened to bump into me when he went to the hospital just now. He said that Yunshu wanted to see me, so I followed him here!”I smiled.
Lu Kai looked at the woman and said softly," Mom, your guess is too accurate. I haven't even introduced you to Ye Qiu yet, and you've already spoken to him."”
"Have you forgotten that I met Ye Qiu at your wedding with Yun Shu?”Lu Kai's mother looked at me and smiled happily.
I did meet Lu Kai's parents at the wedding banquet that day, but there were too many guests at that time, so the two of them only greeted me politely. It had been so long that I had really forgotten what they looked like, but what made me happy was that the old man still remembered me.
"Auntie, you have a good memory!"
"I heard from Lu Kai that you and Yunshu are colleagues. When we first met at the wedding that day, I remembered you, a beautiful girl!”Lu Kai's mother said and pulled me to sit on the sofa. She poured me tea and let Lu Kai peel fruits for me.
Seeing how enthusiastic the old man was towards me, my heart felt warm. However, Lu Kai didn't listen to my mother's instructions to peel fruits for me. Instead, he turned his head nervously and looked at the tightly shut bedroom door. He said softly,"Mom, how is Yunshu today? I'll go in and see her."
"Don't go in first. She's been gritting her teeth and moaning all day.”Lu Kai's mother said in a low voice.
Hearing that Yun Shu was in pain for another day, Lu Kai's expression was unusually solemn. He nodded lightly and said, Then let her sleep a little longer!"
I didn't dare to say another word as I was afraid of waking Yun Shu up. I stared at the teacup in my hand and started to daydream.
"Ye Qiu, you're a nurse. Tell me, can Yunshu's illness be cured? She was such a good girl. The auntie really couldn't bear to see her leave.”Lu Kai's mother's eyes suddenly filled with tears as she looked at me seriously.
I didn't want to lie to the old man, but I also didn't want to see the old man sad after knowing the truth. Just as I was in a dilemma, Lu Kai shook his head gently, indicating that I shouldn't tell his mother the truth.
"Auntie, don't worry. Iris will definitely get better!”I looked at Lu Kai's mother and smiled. This time, it was actually very easy for her to tell a white lie.
When Lu Kai's mother heard my words, she took a tissue from the coffee table and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She said in a low voice,"With your words, Auntie can rest assured. Lu Kai loves Yunshu so much. I don't want to see him sad.”
I glanced at Lu Kai and smiled.""Auntie, if Lu Kai keeps looking for a good doctor for Yunshu, they will always be happy.”
Lu Kai's mother smiled at my words. She glared at Lu Kai and said coldly,""Ye Qiu is such a good girl. Hurry up and peel some fruits for her. She's so busy at work, how many times can she come to our house?”
Lu Kai saw that his mother was angry, so he picked a big and red apple from the fruit plate with a shameless look on his face. He lowered his head and started peeling it seriously.
I looked at Lu Kai's serious look and couldn't help but secretly laugh. I imagined how blissful it would be if I could eat the fruits he peeled every day in the future.
"Here, Ye Qiu, eat!" Lu Kai gently handed the peeled apple to me.
I took the apple and looked at him in a daze. All kinds of fantasies occupied my entire brain.
Lu Kai was afraid that I would expose my feelings in front of his mother, so he coughed lightly. Only then did I come back to my senses and put the apple into my mouth with a smile.
"How does it taste?" Lu Kai's mother smiled.
"Very good. This is the sweetest apple I've ever eaten!”I smiled as I glanced at Lu Kai and said with a double meaning.
Just as I was enjoying my apple and basking in happiness, the bedroom door suddenly opened. Yun Shu walked into the living room with a pale face and a tired expression on his face. He was wearing a loose floral cotton pajamas.
The beautiful Yun Shu in my memory was no longer there. The person standing in front of me was like a skeleton in clothes, making me shudder.
"Ye Qiu, you're here! Lu Kai, why didn't you come in and wake me up?”Yun Shu smiled and sat beside me, pretending to be unhappy as he scolded Lu Kaidao.
Lu Kai laughed softly." It's my fault. I heard from Mom that you just fell asleep. I really didn't have the heart to wake you up."”
"Ye Qiu is an honored guest. What do you want me to say about you?”Although Yun Shu was scolding Lu Kai, his eyes were filled with love.
Lu Kai held Yun Shu's hand and said with a smile,""Honey, don't be angry. Ye Qiu knows about your body.”
"Yunshu, we're all acquaintances. You're treating me like an outsider."”
"Alright, Lu Kai, quickly peel some fruits for Ye Qiu!”Yun Shu was very enthusiastic.
"Iris, I'm not busy! I haven't finished the apple in my hand yet.”Seeing that Yunshu was so optimistic, I had forgotten that she was a critically ill person. I finally understood why Lu Kai loved her so much.
Lu Kai saw me talking to Yun Shu, so he brought two washed apples to the kitchen and soon squeezed a cup of juice. He smiled and put a straw into the glass filled with apple juice, then carefully handed it to Yun Shu and said softly,""Drink slowly!"
Yun Shu smiled and took a sip of juice. He nodded and said,""It tastes good!"
Seeing how Lu Kai doted on Yun Shu, I asked myself in my heart, if I was the one who was sick today, would he dote on me as much as he doted on Yun Shu?
"Ye Qiu, I haven't seen you in a long time. Mom, you and Lu Kai go grocery shopping. I'll have a good chat with Ye Qiu."”Yun Shu held my hand and turned to Lu Kai and Granny beside her.
I didn't expect Yun Shu to be so enthusiastic and ask me to stay for dinner. I shook my head in embarrassment and said,"Yunshu, it's not troublesome. I'll leave after talking to you for a while!”There will be a nursing skills competition tomorrow morning. Zhang Yu is still waiting for me to go back to the demonstration room to practice. I don't want to waste time at Lu Kai's house. If it's a candlelight dinner between Lu Kai and me, maybe I can consider it.
"Ye Qiu, it's rare for you to come here. Yunshu wants you to stay, so don't decline.”Lu Kai smiled.
Lu Kai's mother also said," Lu Kai and I will go buy groceries now. After dinner, I'll let Lu Kai send you back to the hospital."”
I wanted to decline again, but seeing the sincere faces of Lu Kai's family of three, I really couldn't bear to reject their kindness. I could only take out my phone and send a text message to Zhang Yu, telling her that I had something to do at my classmate's house and let her practice by herself. Zhang Yu didn't complain, so I agreed to stay.
