The car window reflected the colorful neon lights. Qu Yiyi, who was holding the steering wheel, glanced at the rearview mirror, swallowed and said, "I'm really sorry just now. Please forgive me if I offended you."

Xiao Tao shook her head and said it didn't matter.

Qu Yiyi asked hesitantly: "Well... why did you climb out of the TV?"

Scared her half to death.

Xiao Tao's eyes were full of innocence: "I see that you are mentally prepared, so I thought it would be okay...were you scared?"

"Ah, how could that be? Hahaha!"

Women who study medicine never admit defeat.

The co-pilot, Qu Yande, didn't seem to hear the two of them talking, his face was expressionless, but if you look closely at his eyes, he was in a trance.

Qu Yiyi sighed, hoping that tonight her grandfather and Xiao An would be able to untie their knots.

There is a hospital in Chang'an that is famous for treating leukemia. Qu Yande transferred Xiao An to the hospital in Chang'an and was responsible for all the medical expenses.

The family members of the patient who hacked Xiaojing to death were unable to pay compensation because their family was poor.

If it weren't for Qu Yande's care, Xiao An would have died of illness and death because he couldn't afford the medical expenses.

"We're here, right here, let's get off the bus."

As soon as Qu Yiyi finished speaking, she saw Xiao Tao walking directly through the door and standing outside waiting for them.

Qu Yiyi choked up: "Why do you suddenly feel that being a ghost is not bad?"

After entering the elevator, Qu Yande became even more silent, and Qu Yiyi also closed her mouth.

With a ding, the elevator stopped and people walked out one after another. When they arrived at the door of Xiao An's ward, Qu Yande took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.

Xiao An turned around in confusion: "Grandpa Qu, Sister Yiyi, why are you here?"

Qu Yande looked around and saw only Xiao An. He couldn't tell what he was feeling. He stepped forward and touched Xiao An's head: "Let's see you."

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Qu Yiyi glanced at Xiao Tao and saw that she also had a confused look on her face, and gently tucked Xiao An into bed.

Xiao An's face was very sickly white and his figure was very thin. He shook his head and his eyes stopped on the cabinet next to the hospital bed: "Today is my sister's birthday."

Only then did Qu Yiyi realize that there was a small cake on the cabinet. It was not a serious birthday cake, it was just the same size as her usual desserts.

Qu Yiyi felt sad and was about to say something when someone knocked on the door after two "tuk-tuk" sounds.

"I'll open the door."

Qu Yiyi stood up immediately, opened the door and met Chu Hanxing.

"this……"

Chu Hanxing nodded slightly to her and moved to the left, revealing the person behind him.

Qu Yiyi's eyes were full of disbelief: "Xiao Jing!"

…

There was a bit of silence in the ward for a while, not because of unfamiliarity, but because it was hard to express the words in my heart.

After a long while, Xiao An blankly shouted: "Sister."

As soon as I opened my mouth, tears fell heavily.

"Sister!" Xiao An burst into tears and hugged Xiao Jing's body directly.

It was ice cold, very cold, and there was no heartbeat.

Xiaojing smiled generously at a few people and patted Xiaoan on the head, "You kid!"

She blinked her eyes, pushed back the tears, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Qu, Xiaoyi, Xiaoan has caused trouble for you."

Qu Yande stared at her neck for a long time and said nothing.

When a person dies unnaturally, his soul will bear the mark of his life.

The marks on Xiaojing's neck that were struck by a machete did not disappear.

Xiaojing sighed: "Grandpa Qu, don't use other people's mistakes to punish yourself."

Xiaojing stroked Xiaoan's head gently, and her voice was a little more choked up: "Grandpa Qu, I'm not afraid of your jokes. It's through you that Xiaoan and I feel the warmth of family."

Her expression was very gentle: "So, I just got stabbed for my family, what's the big deal."

"You are a leader in the medical field. My death will be worth it, right?"

Qu Yande's eyes sparkled.

For a long time, he looked directly into Xiaojing's eyes and nodded solemnly.

Xiaojing squinted and smiled happily: "Death is not the end, but a new beginning.

I have never regretted my original choice. Even if I do it again, I will still stand in front of you.

Because you not only illuminate Xiaoan and I, but also a ray of hope in the lives of others."

…

Xiao Tao and Chu Hanxing retreated silently, leaving the space for them.

Xiao Tao twisted her handkerchief and asked, seemingly unintentionally: "Master, why do people call the past... the old society?"

Chu Hanxing heard the hesitation in her tone, and said in a calm voice: "Because in the past, people couldn't be human and had to kneel.

Some people have been kneeling for a long time and don’t want to kneel anymore. If we go to the old and innovate, everyone will finally be able to stand up, and no one will want to continue kneeling anymore.”

Xiao Tao raised her head and stared at the ceiling in trance. She knew that if she stared for a long time, her pupils would widen and shrink for a while, and her eyes would be unbearable. Now she can stare all day long without blinking.

After a long time, she asked softly: "Then what does it mean to not kneel?"

"You can call yourself 'I' first." Chu Hanxing lowered his eyes and played with the jade pendant with a lazy posture.

Xiaotao didn't know whether she heard it or not, so she laughed, stopped continuing the topic, and began to hum a tune.

"Ever since I, following the king, have conquered east and west..."

…

The sky was slightly brighter, and the thin white mist dispersed quietly.

When Qu Yiyi opened the door and asked Chu Hanxing to come in, Xiaojing had already left.

As adults, Qu Yande and Qu Yiyi have stronger psychological endurance than Xiao An, who has just turned sixteen, and can adjust to the sadness caused by separation.

But Xiao An was different. He stared blankly out the window, feeling only reluctance and sadness in his heart.

He couldn't get over the past. That was his sister, his only relative. The two had been dependent on each other for more than ten years, and their deep affection could no longer be let go.

Xiaojing was his source of all warmth, always encouraging him to fight the disease and building up his confidence, but without any warning or psychological preparation, she left suddenly.

Xiao An really couldn't find a reason to live. When he saw Xiao Jing, he wanted to die as soon as possible and reunite with Xiao Jing in the underworld.

The two are like extremes. Xiao Jing is like a weed with tenacious vitality. Whether it is in the cracks of rocks or in the sewers, she must grow towards the sunny place. Xiao An has lived in the hospital all year round and has seen too many life, separation and death. His mentality is

Negative.

So he still refused chemotherapy.

Qu Yande advised: "Xiao An, don't let down your sister's wishes."

"Everyone will die sooner or later, Grandpa Qu. I just want it to end earlier." Xiao An said numbly.

"Yes, people always have to die, so live well before you die."

Xiao An slowly turned his head and met those dull eyes.

Chu Hanxing's expression was indifferent: "It's hard to cultivate enough to be a human being and come to the human world. Shouldn't you enjoy the scenery of the human world?"

Xiaojing did not tell Xiaoan and the others about setting up a stall in Ghost Realm Castle to exchange for life.

Xiao An looked pale and looked out the window with empty eyes: "The passing of life is sad."

He has seen death many times.

His gaze had no focus, but there was a ginkgo tree in the center of the yard outside the window, which could be seen from any angle in the hospital.

The sun shines brightly, and the leaves and sunlight complement each other, glowing with soft light. It is a beautiful scenery.

Chu Hanxing asked him: "Do you know the meaning of the ginkgo tree?"

Xiao An shook his head and didn't look at it. He didn't want to understand.

"It is tenacity and longevity." Chu Hanxing said, "It represents the hospital's message to everyone."

Chu Hanxing's eyes fell on his frail body.

"Four seasons change, all things come into being, and the arrival of every life has its own meaning.

The symbolic meaning of this ginkgo tree has never changed. The moment you are born in the hospital, it tells you how to face life's issues.

--toughness.

When you can use this resilience flexibly, you can overcome anything.

Just like your sister."

Xiaojing is really a girl full of resilience.

"Xiao An, bed 34, the anesthesiologist is here, ready to go to the operating table!" The nurse opened the door.

She was immersed in recording in her notebook. When Xiao An didn't respond and looked up, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.

The nurse softened her voice: "Why are you crying? When you get out of the cabin, you will be reborn. It will be your good life!"

Xiao An raised his hand to wipe his face in a daze, and then realized that he had burst into tears without even realizing it.
