Chapter 92 Life and Death

Even though Si Nian was prepared to be interrogated by Jiang Sui, he was still shocked at this moment.

He raised his eyes and met Jiang Sui's gaze, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

If they were not caught, he wanted to keep Jiang Sui from knowing until he left this world.

He had already told Wu Chunhao that if he suddenly passed away one day, she should not be notified even of his funeral. He could just find an excuse to tell her the result after everything was over. Not to mention, she should not be told where he was buried.

Also, don't engrave his real name on the tombstone, and don't put a photo of him. When she goes to visit her mother, he can just secretly take a look at her from the side.

Never tell her the truth again. He didn't want her to live with regret and sorrow after his death.

Let her think that he was cruel and heartless, and let her think so forever. At least after receiving the news that he had passed away, she would no longer feel pain.

Seeing that Si Nian remained silent, Jiang Sui suddenly sneered.

"I guess you're planning to never tell me the truth, right?"

Si Nian frowned as he looked at Jiang Sui, his throat dry and unable to make a sound.

Jiang Sui tilted her head and stared at Si Nian. She was still smiling, but as she smiled, her eyes suddenly became moist.

"I don't know whether to say you are selfish or selfless. Why are you always like this? You don't tell me anything, you endure everything by yourself, and you take on everything by yourself. Is it because you know my personality too well that you force me to even break up with you? I hate your self-righteousness so much!"

After saying this, Jiang Sui turned his head and wiped away the tears that had fallen unconsciously.

Si Nian felt bitter in his heart, but he couldn't say a word to refute.

She got everything right.

Si Nian sighed and called Jiang Sui in a hoarse voice.

"Sui Sui, don't cry. You know I hate to see you cry the most, but if you're with me, I will always make you cry."

Another tear slid down her cheek. She quickly raised her hand to wipe it away, saying stubbornly, "I didn't cry, I didn't cry!"

Although Jiang Sui was tough in his words, his emotions collapsed in an instant.

Tears poured down her face. She lowered her head and bit her lips hard to stop herself from crying out loud, but her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Si Nian's eyes also turned red, and he sat closer to Jiang Sui.

He reached out and lifted her head, and seeing Jiang Sui's tearful face, his heart began to tear apart bit by bit.

He placed his hands on her cheeks and gently wiped the tears from her face with his thumbs.

After a long while, he asked her softly, "Do you know everything?"

Jiang Sui stared at him with misty eyes and asked, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Suddenly, she tilted her head and chuckled, and began to answer her own questions, "Yes, I am the biggest fool in the world. I was so stupid that you kept it a secret for six years."

Si Nian looked at Jiang Sui painfully for a while, then he put his elbows on his knees, clasped his hands together, and remained silent for a long time before he spoke slowly.

"When the doctor told me that I might not live long, my first thought was not to blame fate or fear death. My first thought was, if I die, what will happen to my family?"

"It just so happened that you were preparing to go abroad at that time. I couldn't hold you back. I knew I wouldn't live long, and I couldn't let you give up your future because of me."

"Besides, you have already experienced the pain of your loved ones falling ill and dying twice. I can't let you go through this again with me. It would be too cruel for you."

"Don't you think separation is cruel?"

Hearing this, Jiang Sui became emotional again and she almost started yelling at Si Nian. This was the first time she spoke to Si Nian so loudly and emotionally.

"When I love you the most, you force me to be separated from you. In my opinion, this is more cruel than death!"

Seeing that Si Nian just lowered his head and didn't say anything, Jiang Sui sneered, "Heh", and his voice became softer when he spoke again.

"Si Nian, you are so cruel! You just want to die without saying a word and then habitually inform me of the results, right? How can you be so selfish? Have you ever thought about what I would do if I knew about this after you left? Wouldn't I regret it and blame myself for the rest of my life?"

"Won't!"

Jiang Sui was stunned when he heard Si Nian's confident answer.

Si Nian stared at Jiang Sui with a gloomy look for a while, then explained, "I have already written it in my will, and I have also told Haozi in person that after I die, you will not be notified to attend the funeral, and you will not be told where I am buried. Just let him tell you that this is an accident. No one can avoid accidents. It won't take long for you to be relieved."

After hearing Si Nian's words, Jiang Sui smiled again, but that smile was sour and bitter.

After a while, she managed to squeeze out two words from her throat , "How cruel!"

Si Nian said nothing, and the two fell into silence again.

After a long time, Jiang Sui asked Si Nian in a gentle voice, "Now that I know that I am not completely stupid, what are you going to do?"

Si Nian raised his eyes to look at Jiang Sui, then lowered them again and answered honestly, "I haven't thought about it yet."

"You're not going to run away to some place where no one can find you just to avoid me, are you?"

Si Nian was startled by Jiang Sui's question, then shook his head and said, "No."

Where can he hide in modern society?

"That's good." Si Nian's answer obviously made Jiang Sui feel relieved.

The two of them sat quietly like this for a while. Jiang Sui looked up at the wall clock. It was already very late, so Si Nian had to rest.

She suddenly stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'm going back now. You should get some rest."

Si Nian also stood up and asked her, "Where do you live? I'll take you there."

Jiang Sui stopped him immediately, "No, you should have a good rest. You forgot that I live here too."

"oh!"

Jiang Sui walked towards the door, and Si Nian followed her and sent her to the door of the room.

Before she left, he suddenly asked, "When will you return to Beijing?"

Jiang Sui thought for a moment and said, "I have to go to work tomorrow, so the earliest flight back is."

"Then I'll take you to the airport tomorrow morning?"

After asking, Si Nian explained, "I can't take a plane in my current condition. Reo and I drove here."

Jiang Sui nodded in understanding, "Okay, see you tomorrow morning."

After the whole night, Si Nian finally smiled at Jiang Sui and said, "Okay, see you tomorrow morning."

After closing the door, Jiang Sui walked back with a heavy heart.

She thought that as long as he stopped avoiding her, she would find a way to make him survive.

She will go find Wu Fan when she returns tomorrow. Wu Fan knows the top neurosurgery professor who is very prestigious internationally. That professor will definitely have a way to save him.

Jiang Sui's room was two floors lower than Si Nian's. After getting out of the elevator, she slowly walked towards the room. Suddenly, she remembered that there was still a very important question that she had not confirmed with Si Nian. Although she already knew it in her mind, she still wanted to hear him say it to her in person.

So she turned around and ran hurriedly towards the elevator, but the elevator stopped at a certain floor for a long time and didn't move. She couldn't wait any longer and rushed directly to the fire escape.

After running up two flights of stairs and through a short corridor, Jiang Sui's heartbeat began to quicken as she got closer and closer to Si Nian's room. She stood in front of Si Nian's door, panting and knocking.

After waiting for a while, the door was opened from the inside.

Si Nian's hair was dripping with water. He was wearing a pure white bathrobe. He stood inside the door and looked at Jiang Sui with some surprise.

Apparently he had just been taking a shower and was interrupted by her sudden return.

He looked so abstinent and charming at the moment. Jiang Sui swallowed unconsciously as he looked at him, and even forgot what he wanted to ask Si Nian.

She stood outside the door, breathing heavily and staring at Si Nian blankly.

Si Nian was the first to ask her in confusion, "Why did you come back again? Did you run here?"

Jiang Sui was gasping for breath and unable to speak for a moment, she nodded to Si Nian.

He began to frown. "Is there anything urgent?"

Jiang Sui took two deep breaths and tried to steady his breath.

"I have a very important question for you, and I can't wait until tomorrow."

Si Nian paused and said in a low voice, "Well, you ask."

Jiang Sui pursed her lips, stared at Si Nian with her eyes wide open, and asked him slowly, "Red Bean Jade Comb, before I left, you left it to me. What does it mean?"

Si Nian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he moved his gaze away from Jiang Sui's face and looked to the side.

After a while, he replied in a calm voice, "It's nothing. I just sent you home when you were drunk, and I just left it there and forgot to take it."

Hearing him say that, Jiang Sui's heart sank for a moment, but she immediately felt something was wrong. She didn't believe it and continued to ask.

"When I gave it back to you that day, you didn't want it at first."

"Yes, but that was just a casual remark. I know you will definitely pay it back."

Si Nian's voice was still faint, making it hard to tell whether it was true or false.

Jiang Sui still refused to believe it, his eyes were sore, "You must be lying to me again, you are always lying. Red beans represent longing, jade combs are used to tying hair, can the meaning of tying hair to express longing also be deceptive?"

Si Nian didn't know what excuse to make for a moment. He didn't expect Jiang Sui had already understood the meaning of the pendant.

Things have come to this point, and although Jiang Sui cannot avoid being sad about his future departure, he still wants to try his best to reduce her sadness.

The cold shower he just took had completely sobered him up. As long as he continued to maintain a proper distance from her, he believed that the pain could be alleviated.

For example, now, after they had been separated for several years, she learned the news. Although she still felt uncomfortable, she was able to accept it calmly.

If he had told her back then, he really didn't know whether the news would make her collapse first. After all, as she said, her love was at its peak at that time, and it would be even more difficult for her to accept life and death.

Seeing Si Nian remained silent, Jiang Sui took a breath and nodded, "Okay, it's okay if you don't admit it. Then I'll ask you again, have you ever regretted breaking up that year?"

Si Nian closed his eyes and sighed, "No."

"But I regret it. After learning about your physical condition today, I regret it even more. I regret why I didn't insist at the beginning. I missed six years in vain. In six years, I could have done many things."

"When I went back just now, I was thinking, if I had known earlier, even if I couldn't save you, the six years of memory would be enough for me to recall for a lifetime, but you just didn't want to leave me anything. Even now that I have discovered all the secrets you carefully hid, you are still like this."

Jiang Sui turned his head and blinked hard.

When she looked back at Si Nian, the mist in her eyes had dissipated.

She suddenly gave him a stiff smile, "Forget it, do whatever you want. I'm tired and I really need to go back and rest. I have to go back to work tomorrow."

As he said this, Jiang Sui walked back in a daze.

Watching Jiang Sui's thin figure disappear around the corner of the corridor, Si Nian began to doubt for the first time whether what he did was right or wrong.
