His and Their Stories

(Prologue) Ordinary Life
A year later, Afei used the money he won in the lottery to buy houses for his parents and himself. In an era of soaring housing prices, an ordinary boy selling two high-end residences in cash at once was sensationalized by the media as "a rich second-generation entering the real estate speculation field," even sparking discussions among some so-called experts and scholars.
During this ordinary year, Afei stayed at home every day, occupying his time online, trying not to think about everything that had happened before. He would meet up with friends, eat and drink. There were no emotional entanglements. Afei was very satisfied with his current life, but a phone call disrupted his ordinary life.
(I) She got married
Last night, Afei played online games until late at night, and the next day at noon, Afei was still lazing in bed.
He enjoyed the sunlight streaming into the bedroom and the carefree life of being alone.
At this moment, his phone rang. Afei saw that it was an unfamiliar number, so he answered it.
"Hello!"
"Afei, it's me," a familiar voice entered Afei's ears.
"Xiaoli?" Afei answered in an almost trembling voice.
"It's me. How have
you been?" "I'm doing well, how about you?"
"Hehe, good too."
"Why did you call?"
"I'm getting married, and I hope you can come to my wedding."
"What?" Afei almost shouted.
"Afei, listen to me. I know this is very unfair to you, but I basically have no friends besides you.
Hao and I sincerely hope you can come. Promise me, okay?"
"Okay, I will go." He couldn't refuse the request from the woman he once deeply loved.
"Afei, thank you. Next Sunday."
"Okay, I've got it. I will definitely go."
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
After hanging up, Afei slammed his phone against the wall. The phone shattered on the floor. He hated himself for not being able to refuse this girl's request, especially since she had betrayed him.
Afei spent a week carefully dressing himself up, hoping to appear in his best form at the wedding of the girl he deeply loved who had also betrayed him.
Before he knew it, the wedding date arrived, and Afei drove to the hotel where the wedding would be held. Upon entering the hotel, he was greeted by Hao and Xiaoli's wedding photos. Seeing the girl he once deeply loved, nestled in a white wedding dress in the arms of his childhood friend, Afei felt a profound sense of desolation. The scene that had haunted his mind was finally unfolding today, only this time, he wasn't the groom.
"Afei!" A voice called out, interrupting Afei's thoughts. He turned around and saw a girl he recognized.
"Yan?" Afei replied, surprised.
"Hehe, surprised, aren't you?" Yan responded with a grin.
"Didn't you go to America?"
"Can't I come back for my old classmate's wedding?"
"Hehe, of course you can. Let's go in together!" Afei replied with a wry smile.
"Let's go." The two walked into the wedding venue, talking as they went.
It turned out that Xiaoli had found Yan online and told him about her wedding. Yan had just returned from America.
"Afei!" "Yan!" Xiaoli and Hao greeted them together.
"Happy wedding!" Yan said, pulling out a red envelope.
"Happy wedding!" Afei whispered, handing over his own red envelope.
"Thank you for coming," Hao and Xiaoli said to Afei.
"Hehe, how could I not come to your wedding!" Afei said with a forced smile.
"Afei, thank you!" Xiaoli said, choking back tears.
"You look beautiful today," Afei said.
"Of course, you're handsome too," Afei said, turning to Hao.
"Alright, stop talking, let's hurry inside! There won't be any good seats later," Yan said, seeing the mood was off, quickly pulling Afei along.
"Yes, hurry up! I need to get a good seat," Afei said, following Yan.
"Still can't accept reality?" Yan asked after Afei and Yan sat down.
"If I couldn't accept it, I wouldn't have come," Afei replied.
"Hmph! Even a cooked duck has a stubborn mouth."
"You're the duck!" "
Oh my god! Can I be a duck too?"
"Uh..."
"Haha!" Seeing Afei's speechless expression, Yan laughed heartily.
This joke between friends did indeed improve Afei's mood considerably. As more and more people filled the banquet hall, the wedding began.
To the strains of the wedding march, Xiaoli, in her pure white wedding dress, and Hao, in his suit, slowly walked into view. People stood up and offered their blessings with applause. Afei looked at the two of them and thought of his happy days with Xiaoli. He realized he couldn't forget those times. He suddenly wanted to roar, to cry out. But he didn't. He smiled, numbly stretched out his hands, and mechanically clapped.
For the rest of the time, Afei's mind was blank. He watched the entire wedding like a mindless zombie. As he walked out of the hotel, he suddenly wanted to escape this place, to escape as far away as possible. He turned his head and saw Yan; Yan had been beside him all along.
"Yan, when are you going back to America?" Afei asked.
"I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. Why are you asking?"
"I'm going with you," Afei replied seriously.
"Why?" Yan asked in surprise.
"I want to go on vacation."
"Wow! You've struck it rich."
"Shouldn't people learn to enjoy life?"
"Why do you want to go with me!"
"First, you won't sell me; second, I'll have a free tour guide," Afei joked.
"That's hard to say! Asian boys are very popular in America."
"I'm not worth much, and besides, you don't need that much money!" "Haha, okay, it's settled then." "Can you handle the paperwork?" "Anything that money can buy isn't a problem."
"Okay."
Two days later, Afei and Yan boarded a plane to America.
(II) She also got married.
Yan and Afei traveled to all the world-famous cities in America. They strolled through the streets, played on the beach, and had picnics in the jungle. They greedily enjoyed the happiness that the beautiful scenery brought them.
One night, the two of them were chatting and drinking in a hotel room.
"Fei, do you keep your word?" Yan suddenly asked.
"What did you say?" Afei, who couldn't drink to begin with, replied, his face flushed.
"You said you would marry me?"
"Hehe, okay! If you're willing to marry me, I'll marry you now, if you don't mind that I'm a poor guy." "You're poor? You've been paying for almost all the money these past few days." "Just my savings. I'm indulging a little, then I should go back to living a poor life!" Afei didn't want Yan to know that he was now worth millions.
"Really?" Yan asked doubtfully.
"Why would I lie to you? I haven't given you any money."
"Hehe." "Right! Let's have a drink." Yan said with a smile.
"Drink again. You know I can't drink. Aren't you afraid I'll do something inappropriate when I'm drunk?" Afei teased.
"Hmph, dare you?" Yan asked defiantly.
"Hey, don't try to put me in this position. If I don't show my teeth, you'll think I'm Doraemon!" "Haha, you little brat! I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want!" Yan said, then downed the drink in his glass.
"Stop drinking, you've already had enough. You'll get drunk if you drink any more," Afei said, snatching the cup from Yan's hand.
"I'm not drunk!" Yan said, dodging as she tried to stay awake.
Afei realized that Yan was actually drunk. Because of a moment of inattention, Yan was only wearing her underwear. It was a sexy lace lingerie set, which, combined with Yan's tall figure, was incredibly alluring.
"Stop drinking," Yan urged.
"I'll drink, I'm not drunk," Yan said, acting like a stubborn little girl.
"Not drunk yet? Look what you're wearing!" Afei asked.
"Hehe, am I beautiful?" Yan swayed as she stood up, striking a sexy pose.
"Beautiful, more beautiful than Miss World," Afei replied casually, draping a sheet from the sofa over Yan.
"Don't do that, I'm hot," Yan said, pushing Afei away.
"Okay, okay, you're hot, go to sleep! We're going out to play tomorrow," Afei said, pulling Yan towards the bedroom.
"I'm not sleepy, I won't sleep," Yan said as she walked.
"I have to sleep, or I'll get lost."
"Hehe, now you know how important I am."
"I've always known."
Afei put the cup in Yan's hand on the table, then put Yan on the bed. At this moment, Yan hugged Afei's neck.
"Afei, will you stay with me?"
"Yan, are you drunk?"
"No, I'm not drunk. I know you've never liked me." Yan said with teary eyes.
"Who said that? You're so pretty. Can you let go of me first?" Afei resisted.
"No, I'll let you go if you answer one question." Yan refused to let go.
"Okay, go ahead." Afei saw that he couldn't break free, so he plopped down on the bed.
"Last time you went to Shenyang, did you think of me?"
"Yes."
"Then why didn't you contact me?"
"I was busy then."
"Hmph."
"Grandma, you've asked enough, let me go!" Afei struggled again.
"No, Afei, stay with me." Yan said in a gentle voice. This kind of voice was extremely tempting to Afei, a man who hadn't had sex for a long time. Afei became a little dazed again.
Then, Yan kissed Afei, and Afei instinctively responded. The two kissed passionately on the hotel bed, as if they wanted to devour each other.
"No, I can't," Afei pushed Yan away again, realizing he still couldn't. This inability wasn't physical, but psychological.
"Waaah..." Yan burst into tears, crying, "Why...why?"
Afei felt extremely sad seeing Yan in pain. He bent down and hugged the ailing Yan. Yan punched Afei, still crying out, "Why...why?" "Don't cry, because I'm not worth it," Afei said, letting Yan's fists fall on his face and body.
"I don't know what's wrong with me either," Afei cried along with Yan. The two hugged and wept together, neither speaking, just crying.
After a while, Yan cried herself to sleep and fell silent. Afei gently laid her down on the bed, tenderly covered her with a blanket, and gently wiped the tears from her face. "Rest well, I'm going back," Afei said, preparing to leave.
As Afei turned to leave, Yan suddenly grabbed him, quickly straddled him, and began tearing at his clothes while yelling wildly, "Fuck me! Why the hell aren't you fucking me?" "Trying to escape? I'll fuck you to death today." Afei was stunned; he had never seen Yan so crazy and swearing. When Afei came to his senses, he found that all his clothes were gone.
Yan manipulated Afei's already erect penis, lifted his buttocks, and "swallowed" it inside him.
At that moment, Afei saw that Yan's "white tiger" was already drooling. Yan thrust violently on him, shouting, "Fuck you to death, fuck you to death, I'll fucking fuck you to death today. Harder, harder, I'm going to fucking fuck you enough today." Yan looked terrifying; he frantically tore at Afei's hair and moved violently on him. It was the first time Afei had seen a beautiful girl so crazy, swearing so much. This scene greatly aroused Afei; he became excited.
Not long after, Yan collapsed onto Afei, muttering, "Damn, I came." Excited, Afei flipped Yan over. Without a word, he entered her. Yan, still climaxing, cried out, "Ah!"
"Fuck me, Afei, fuck me hard! You're mine, you're mine!" Afei thrust forcefully. Yan's hands gripped Afei's back, leaving bright red scratches.
"Fuck me, Afei, fuck me hard! Make me feel like you're mine now, you're fucking me!" Yan cried out wildly, her voice trembling with fear, perhaps fueled by alcohol. A moment later, Yan cried out again, "Ah!"
Afei continued thrusting relentlessly.
"Ah...so good...mmm," Yan cried.
"Yan, I love you," Afei said sincerely.
"Fuck me, harder. Fuck me hard if you love me."
The two made love frantically, and just as Afei was about to ejaculate, he shouted, "Baby, I'm going to cum." "Cum, cum for me, for me. I'm yours." Yan held Afei tightly, his lower body thrusting incessantly.
Afei finally released his essence.
As Afei got off Yan, Yan rolled over and lay face down on the bed, sobbing uncontrollably, "Waaah, Fei, you're finally mine, you're finally mine." Afei gently stroked Yan's hair, trying to comfort her and calm her down.
"Fei, can I be alone for a while?" Yan said. Afei didn't answer, silently stood up, took his clothes, which Yan had already torn to shreds, and returned to his room.
Afei lay on the bed, replaying the scene in his mind. He still couldn't believe that the woman he had just passionately made love with was the beautiful and quiet Yan. Time slowly passed, and Afei continued to ponder this. At dawn, he finally made a decision. He rushed to Yan's room, pushed open the door, and burst into the bedroom, shouting as he ran, "Yan, I've made up my mind. We'll be together. I'll marry you." But what he saw wasn't the beautiful and lovely Yan, but an empty room. There was a letter on the bedside table. Afei picked it up but didn't read it. Instead, he ran frantically around the hotel, searching. Slowly, he grew tired and returned to his room, dejectedly lying on the bed. He opened the letter.
Afei:
Forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. Perhaps you regret everything that happened last night, perhaps you are also frantically searching for me. Don't look anymore, I'm leaving. I'm going back to get married.
Actually, before returning to China, I was engaged to a wealthy American businessman with hundreds of millions of dollars in assets. He loves me very much, and he can give me everything I want. Afei, how I wish I could be with you forever! But women are selfish. I'm afraid of a life without money; I dread that kind of life. God still loves me. He fulfilled my dream before my wedding. He gave me to you, and I had you once. I can get married without regrets. How
I envy and hate Xiaoli! She had all your feelings, but she didn't deserve it. She betrayed you, betrayed the feelings between you two. Afei, I love you so much. You probably don't even know how much I love you.
Goodbye, Afei! I beg you to forgive me again. Don't look for me anymore. Go back and find a good girl, a girl who isn't materialistic or gold-digging. Live a good life. Love, Yan. Afei finished reading the letter with tears streaming down his face and cried loudly in his room. He didn't know how long afterward, but Afei walked out of the restaurant and wandered aimlessly through the unfamiliar streets, like a walking corpse.
He didn't know how long he walked, or how far he went. Afei stopped, slumped down by the roadside, and lit a cigarette. He looked up at the sky, as if something in the sky could give him an answer. Why did all the girls around him leave him?
When he was tired and lowered his head, he saw a woman he missed but didn't want to see.
(III) The world is so small
Yes, that's right. It's her! Xiao Li.
At this moment, Xiao Li was nestled in Hao's arms, strolling down the street. At the same time that A Fei saw Xiao Li, Xiao Li and Hao also saw A Fei. So the two walked over.
"A Fei, what are you doing here?" Xiao Li asked.
"Traveling," A Fei said softly.
"And you? What are you doing here too?" A Fei asked back.
"We're here for our honeymoon," Hao replied.
"Hehe, this world is really too damn small," A Fei said with a wry smile.
"Yeah! It's really damn small," Hao replied.
"Why are you like this?" Xiao Li asked, looking at A Fei's dirty clothes.
"I got lost," A Fei replied.
"Where's Yan?" Xiao Li asked again.
"I don't know, he's lost," A
Fei replied dejectedly. "Have you eaten?" Xiao Li asked.
"Do I look like I have money to eat?" A Fei said sourly.
"Let's go! I'll treat you to dinner!" Hao said.
"Let's go, we'll eat our fill today," Afei said.
"Haha! No problem, bring it on!" Hao laughed.
The three returned to Hao and Xiaoli's hotel. They ordered food at the restaurant, and after the dishes arrived, Afei didn't say a word, devouring the food on the table in a flash. After a satisfying meal, Afei leaned back in his chair and joked, "My stomach's betraying me! I can't eat anymore." "Haha! You!" Hao laughed.
At this moment, Hao called a waiter. He booked a room for Afei next to his and Xiaoli's room, so Afei could take a shower and get a good rest! Afei was led into the room by the waiter, took a comfortable hot shower, and lay down on the bed to sleep until dark. He was woken up by a knock on the door. He got up and glanced at the time, "It's already past midnight, who could it be?" Afei got out of bed and opened the door, only to find Xiaoli standing there.
"Can I come in and talk to you?" Xiaoli asked in a low voice.
"Isn't that inappropriate? You and Hao are on your honeymoon, it's not good for you to go into a man's room in the middle of the night!" Afei replied sourly.
"Stop talking nonsense, get out of my way!" Xiaoli shoved Afei and strode into the room.
Afei smiled helplessly, Xiaoli hadn't changed, her temper was exactly the same as before.
"Say it, what do you want to talk about?" Afei said.
"Afei, I know you've hated me for so long."
"Stop, when did I say I hated you?" Afei interrupted.
"Let me finish, okay? Just because you don't say it doesn't mean you don't hate me. I didn't expect you to forgive me." "I don't hate you." Afei interrupted loudly again.
"Can't you let me finish what I have to say?" Xiaoli shouted.
"Hehe, what am I going to do with your temper? Say it! I'm listening." Afei smiled helplessly.
"Ah Fei, I left you back then because I was fed up with that kind of life. I know it was unfair to you. But that's just how the world is. Every woman wants a better life, not to suffer. Do you understand? I'm heartbroken every day now. Every time I think of you, I feel so sorry for you. I owe you so much," Xiao Li said, crying as she spoke.
"Xiao Li, I understand! Really, I've been through a lot since you left. It's my fault, Ah Fei, that I didn't have the ability to make you happy. You were right to leave me. There's no question of right or wrong. After all, we were together for a while, and that time was enough. Really." "Ah Fei, sob sob sob," Xiao Li continued to cry.
"Oh, don't cry. What if people think I did something to you? They might call the police and arrest me. American police really do shoot!" Ah Fei joked.
Xiao Li burst into laughter through her tears. "You have such a sharp tongue," Xiao Li said.
The two of them chatted in the room about everything under the sun, from China to America, from the past to the present.
Sometimes they would burst into laughter at the same time, and sometimes they would remain silent. The atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant.
Gradually, Afei became lost in thought, feeling as if they were back in their simple rented room in Beijing. Xiaoli was still the girl who would always whine to him every day. The girl who would complain of being starving every day after work. Afei's eyes welled up with tears. How he longed for everything to go back to the way it was before. For everything to start over!
"Afei, Hao and I are leaving tomorrow!" Xiaoli said.
"Where to?"
"Back to Russia. My parents and Hao's parents are going back together."
"Are the elderly in America too?"
"Yes, we came here together. It's just that we're not with them anymore." "Can't we stay a couple more days?" "No, I'm sorry." At this moment, Afei lost his mind. He rushed over and hugged Xiaoli, saying, "Xiaoli, don't go. Please!
I can give you everything Hao can give you. Come back! Come back!"
"Afei, calm down!" Xiaoli struggled to break free.
"Xiaoli, I love you! Really, I love you!"
"Afei, don't do this!" Xiaoli pushed Afei to the ground with force.
Afei sat on the ground, his eyes red. He had calmed down by now. "Xiaoli, I'm sorry! Go! I was too impulsive!" Xiaoli squatted down beside Afei. She said, "Afei, you know I love you too. But life isn't just about love. Love can't put food on the table, you understand?" "I understand, I really understand this time!" They looked at each other, neither speaking again.
Twenty minutes passed. One of them, without knowing who made the first move, embraced and kissed passionately. They began to remove their already thin clothing, and soon they were naked.
"Is this okay?" Afei asked between kisses.
"I only want you now," Xiaoli mumbled.
Then, Afei picked Xiaoli up and placed her on the bed. Without any foreplay, he penetrated her, thrusting violently, and Xiaoli responded wildly. They acted as if tomorrow was the end of the world, frantically releasing their physical desires.
"Afei, give it to me... give it to me."
"Xiaoli, I'm yours, I'm yours."
The two of them jumped from the bed to the floor, to the windowsill, to the bathroom. They just kept doing it. Doing it frantically.
When Afei woke up, it was already noon the next day! There was a note and money on the bedside table. The money read: "Afei, I'm leaving! I will never forget this crazy night. Xiaoli." Afei smiled bitterly, got up and left the hotel. He returned to the hotel where he and Yan had started, settled the bill, took his luggage and boarded a flight back to China.
(IV) Bad News Arrives
One day, half a month later, Afei was lying in bed in the morning, lost in thought, as usual. Suddenly he received a call from an unknown number.
"Hello!" Afei said.
"Hello, is this Mr. Afei
?" "Yes, who is this?
" "I'm from the Chinese Red Cross."
"Oh? What can I do for you?"
"Do you know Ms. Xiaoli?"
"Yes, I know her. What happened to her?" Afei realized that something bad had happened, so he asked anxiously.
"Her flight crashed, and Ms. Xiaoli was seriously injured. We found your number on her phone and contacted you. Could you come and take care of Ms. Xiaoli?" "What?" Afei exclaimed.
"Mr. Afei, please calm down. I understand how you feel. Out of humanitarian considerations, the Red Cross Society brought Ms. Xiaoli back from abroad, but her physical condition requires care from friends and family." "Where are you?" "Beijing XX Hospital." "I'll fly over immediately."
"Okay, see you in Beijing." Afei hung up the phone, grabbed his wallet, and rushed into the house.
Afei didn't consider that it might be a scam. He couldn't afford to gamble; he was afraid of betraying Xiaoli because of his momentary doubt. Afei arrived in Beijing as quickly as possible, just like he had years ago. Afei came to Beijing without any clothes; the only difference was that this time he brought plenty of cash. All the way there, Afei kept thinking: "What kind of plane crash was it? Where's Hao? What about their families? Could it really be a scam?" He decided that if it was a scam, he would definitely kill the person who lied to him, because it crossed his bottom line. Who could use Xiaoli's comfort to "joke" with him? Afei arrived at the hospital mentioned by the Red Cross and dialed back the number he had received earlier.
"Hello, is this Mr. Afei?"
"Yes, it's me! I'm at the hospital entrance."
"Okay, I'll come to the hospital entrance to meet you."
Two minutes later, five men and women emerged from the hospital, looking around suspiciously. Afei went to greet them.
"Don't look, it's me, Afei," Afei said directly as he walked over.
One of the men with glasses said, "Oh, hello! Mr. Afei, let me introduce myself first. My name is xx." "Where is Xiaoli?" Afei asked before the man with glasses could finish speaking.
"Oh, please follow me," the man with glasses was very polite and didn't get angry.
Afei followed the five men to the intensive care unit and saw Xiaoli lying quietly on the hospital bed. Just as Afei was about to rush in, the bespectacled man grabbed him, saying, "Mr. Afei, please calm down. You can't..." "Calm down my ass! The one lying on the bed is my friend!" Afei shouted angrily.
"Mr. Afei, please watch your words," the bespectacled man said irritably.
"I'm sorry, I got too agitated. I apologize for what I said earlier," Afei said, calming down.
"What happened?" Afei asked.
"It's like this, Miss Xiaoli was in a plane crash, and the specific cause is still under investigation." "What about her husband and relatives?" "I'm sorry, there were no survivors!" "What?" Afei's mind went blank. He sat down heavily on the floor.
"Xiaoli, what's her condition now?" Afei asked after a while.
"She suffered severe brain trauma and is currently only being kept alive by those machines," the bespectacled man said, pointing to the machines in Xiaoli's ward.
"What's the worst that could happen?" Afei asked anxiously.
"You need to prepare for the worst."
"Fuck!" Afei said these two words and then fainted. He simply couldn't bear such a blow.
"Xiao Li, Xiao Li!" A Fei called out after waking up.
"Mr. A Fei, you're finally awake!" the bespectacled man said by A Fei's bedside.
"What happened to me?"
"You fainted from excessive grief."
"How long has it been?"
"Oh, not very long. Only 12 hours
." "Damn, only 12 hours? How is Xiao Li? Oh, I'm sorry! You know I didn't mean any harm with that last sentence." "Hehe, it's okay. I understand, I'm from Northeast China too!" "How is Xiao Li?" A Fei asked again.
"Oh, Xiao Li is out of danger."
"Amitabha, Buddha protects her!"
"But..."
"But what?" A Fei grabbed the bespectacled man and shouted.
"Mr. A Fei, please let go," the bespectacled man said, slightly frightened.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please say what the 'but' is," A Fei said apologetically.
"It's nothing, I understand! Due to the severity of Ms. Xiaoli's head injury, she's only temporarily out of danger, and may remain in a coma for a long time." "What?" Afei shouted again.
"Calm down, you bastard! This is a hospital!" the bespectacled man finally snapped back.
"You mean Xiaoli might become a vegetable?"
"Yes, although she has insurance coverage, it's still difficult to cover the corresponding expenses. You see…" "How much? I'll take it," Afei said without hesitation.
"You need to think carefully; this is a considerable expense. A million might not even be enough." "I know," Afei said quietly.
"Okay, then please complete the transfer procedures with me."
"Okay!"
After the formalities were completed, the bespectacled man stood up and said to Afei, "Mr. Afei, I really admire you. Anyone else would have run far away by now!" "Heh! There's nothing to admire. You don't understand what happened between us!" "Can we be friends?" the bespectacled man asked, extending his right hand.
"Of course, you saved Xiaoli, so you're my friend," Afei said, shaking his hand.
"That's just my job, nothing special. You can contact me anytime if you need anything." "Okay, thank you." "Alright, friend! Goodbye." "Goodbye, friend," Afei emphasized the word "friend."
After seeing the bespectacled man off, Afei went to Xiaoli's hospital room. Sitting by the bed, he looked at Xiaoli, who seemed to be asleep. Slowly, tears streamed down Afei's face. "Xiaoli, don't worry. I won't give up on you. I will definitely save you. You must hold on!" Afei cried as he spoke.
In the days that followed, Afei stayed at the hospital every day, talking to Xiaoli day and night. When he was hungry, he would eat a boxed meal sold by the hospital; when he was thirsty, he would drink a sip of mineral water. Exhaustion and loneliness didn't overwhelm him. He always hoped that one day, as he spoke, Xiaoli would wake up, and the two of them would embrace and cry their hearts out. But day after day passed, and that scene never came. Xiaoli lay there quietly, expressionless and motionless.
Three months later, a weary-looking Afei was still talking to Xiaoli by her bedside.
"Xiaoli, do you remember? That year I bought you shoes, and you were jumping around like an angel." As Afei spoke, the ward door opened. Afei thought it was a nurse and didn't look up.
"Afei!" A familiar voice rang out.
"Yan," Afei looked up and saw Yan, surprised.
"I wanted to give you a surprise, but when I went to your house I found out Xiaoli had an accident, so I rushed over. How is she?" "She'll probably become a vegetable," Afei said truthfully.
"Afei, have you been taking care of her all this time?" Yan asked.
"Yes!"
"How long has it been?"
"Three months."
"I told you! Look at your face, your body can't take this." "I know, but I hope I'm the first one to see her wake up." "Afei, I understand how you feel. But you can't be so careless with your health." "I know, but I just don't want to leave her anymore. I talk to her every day, always thinking that she'll wake up if I keep talking, but she just sleeps, just sleeps." Afei cried, speaking painfully. "
Afei, don't be like this! If Xiaoli were awake, she definitely wouldn't agree to this." Yan went over and hugged Afei.
"Waaah..." Afei just kept crying, not answering anymore.
Yan knew he had been suppressing his feelings for too long. He needed release now.
After an unknown amount of time, Afei stopped crying. He fell asleep in Yan's arms. Yan looked at the beloved man in her arms, her heart aching, and she gently stroked his face. Her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
The next day, Yan and Afei went to the hospital and asked for professional nursing staff. At Yan's repeated insistence, Afei returned to the hotel. In the hotel, Afei took a comfortable hot shower and, lying on the bed, he said to Yan, "Are you married?" "Yes, I am." "How is it?"
"What?"
"Life, I guess."
"Great!"
"Then why did you come back?"
"I missed you!"
"You know what? The day I decided to be with you…"
"I know, but life is often like that, not what we want." Yan interrupted Afei.
"Yeah!" Afei sighed.
"Afei, you still can't forget her, can you?" Yan asked.
"Yeah! I can't forget her, and neither can you! I'll never forget her in this lifetime." "No, I can never compare to her. I can never occupy more space in your heart than she does," Yan said, his eyes red.
"No, Yan, you're wrong," Afei said, lighting a cigarette.
"What did I do wrong? She was already married. Because of this plane crash, you, Afei, went bankrupt trying to save her, staying by her side day and night." "Yan, do you know that?" Afei asked calmly, smoking a cigarette.
"Know what?" Yan asked, still agitated.
"I love you." Afei looked at Yan and said.
"You don't love Xiaoli anymore? Don't lie to me."
"No, I'm not lying to you. I love you, and I love her! I love you both. You both hold the same place in my heart. If anything happens to you one day, I, Afei, will do the same thing as today!" "Are you telling the truth?" Yan collapsed to the ground in tears.
"It's true, Yan, I love you. But on the very day I fell in love with you, I told you you got married. Do you know how I felt?" Afei got up and helped Yan up.
"Afei, I..."
"I understand," Afei interrupted Yan.
"Everyone has the right to choose. You can marry a foreigner because he can give you the life you want.
I love you, but I can't give you anything. Not even a promise," Afei continued, taking a drag on his cigarette. "Actually, when I first came back from America, I thought about going back to find you, but I didn't." "Why?" Yan asked, crying.
"Because you've already made your choice, and I don't want to disrupt the life you've already chosen. I don't want you to give up the life you made such a big decision for because of me. That would be selfish of me." "Afei, why are you always so foolish? Always thinking of others, never thinking of yourself?" "Yan, do you know?" Afei extinguished his cigarette and continued, "Everyone is selfish, but when they meet the person they truly love, they become selfless. Because loving someone isn't about possessing them, but about making them happy and content. If you make them unhappy because of selfishness, then it's not love." "Afei, you're always so foolish!" Yan threw herself into Afei's arms, crying bitterly.
"Yan, don't cry! This is my fate, Afei!" Afei said softly.
"Fei, give me some time. I'll definitely come back, and then you'll marry me, okay?" Yan asked, crying.
"Yan, tell the truth. I don't know! Really, I don't know. With Xiaoli like this, I can't think about the future. Besides, what are you coming back for? I'm almost bankrupt because of Xiaoli. Are you coming back to live a miserable life with me?" Fei said calmly.
"I'll find something to hold against him and divorce him. I can get half of his assets. Then I'll have money! I can help you save Xiaoli," Yan said.
"Yan, be realistic! This place is a bottomless pit for Xiaoli. Why did you have to come here?" "You don't need to worry about it." "No, I have to worry about it!" Fei suddenly became agitated.
"Why?"
"Because I love you, and I can't let you live a life of tears!"
"Fei!" Hearing Fei's words, Yan broke down in pain again. She grabbed Ah Fei's face and kissed him passionately, saying between kisses, "Ah Fei, I won't force you anymore. We'll talk about the future later. Whether you marry me or not, I'm yours, always yours. Ah Fei, all I want now is for you, give me..." Ah Fei didn't answer, only responding fiercely. He couldn't give Yan any promises. He couldn't even utter a word of comfort.
The two passionately kissed each other, treasuring every inch of each other's skin. But nothing happened in the end, because as Afei kissed, he fell asleep on Yan's body. He slept like a child; he was so exhausted. The pressure and fatigue during his time in the hospital had almost destroyed his life, but he had persevered. But today he finally fell asleep, beside a woman he loved just as deeply!
Yan didn't wake him; she remained in that position, gazing at the man she loved. Now she was filled with regret; she regretted missing the chance to be with this man forever because of a wrong decision she had made. She silently shed tears, silently watching him.
When Afei woke up the next day, Yan was no longer in the room, but a letter remained on the bedside table. The letter contained only these few words: "Afei, wait for me to come back. No matter what, I will be with you again!" Afei smiled bitterly and tore the letter to shreds. "Why is it always like this? Not even a goodbye," Afei muttered to himself, got up, and left the hotel for the hospital.
(V) Another Beginning?
Three years passed in the blink of an eye. For those three years, Afei stayed by Xiaoli's side almost every day, not leaving the hospital until midnight, only to rush back the next morning. Afei continued this routine day after day.
But over these years, Xiaoli's medical expenses had drained all of Afei's savings. Even his lottery winnings from years ago had been spent on Xiaoli's medical bills. Afei stood by Xiaoli's bedside, looking at her, lost and confused. He didn't know if his persistence over the years had been right or wrong. Was this really what he wanted? Yes, Afei knew. His persistence was right for him. But what was Xiaoli thinking? How did she feel? Living on these machines every day, was she in pain? Did she want to persevere, or did she want to be free?
Afei couldn't understand, he just couldn't figure it out.
Afei left the hospital and bought a pack of cigarettes with the only 10 yuan he had left. He sat on the side of the road, lit a cigarette, and watched the people and cars passing by. Afei puffed on his cigarette, his eyes fixed on the people on the street. But he still had no answer. Should he persevere or give up?
Just then, Afei's phone rang; it was the hospital. Afei was terrified. He was afraid it was the hospital demanding payment, afraid Xiaoli's condition had worsened, afraid Xiaoli had already left him.
The phone rang for a long time before finally stopping. Afei felt his fear subside, but the phone rang again, and Afei flew into a rage. A surge of anger welled up inside him, and he slammed the phone to the ground, stomping on it relentlessly until it shattered completely.
Afei sat down heavily on the ground, panting heavily. He stared blankly at the shattered phone.
Slowly, Afei lowered his head. A girl walked past him, asking softly, "Need any help?" Afei didn't answer. His eyes were fixed on the Nike shoes the girl was wearing—the Nike shoes Afei had bought for Xiaoli with his first bonus. Looking at the shoes, Ah Fei's mind was filled with images of Xiao Li's charming smile, her excited expression, and the happy days they spent together in Beijing. Scenes flashed through his mind. Suddenly, Ah Fei stood up, startling the girl. He grabbed her shoulders and said, "Thank you, you've helped me so much. Thank you!" Then, without looking back, he ran towards the hospital. Ah Fei rushed into the ward, knelt by the bed, and grasped Xiao Li's hand in both. He gently placed her hand on his face, gazing at the still "sleeping" Xiao Li, and said, "Xiao Li, I won't give up. As long as I'm here, I will make sure you live, even if I have to sell my blood.
Wait for me, I'll go back, sell the house, and come right back. You must wait for me." With that, Ah Fei rushed out of the ward. Just then, the nurses and doctors who were caring for Xiao Li ran towards him. Just as the two were about to speak, Afei immediately said, "Doctor, I know we don't have enough money. Give me two days, I'll raise the money right now. Please, please don't remove the equipment." "Afei..." "Doctor, in all this time, when have I ever troubled you because of money? I only ask this one thing, please don't refuse me." The doctor was about to say something when Afei interrupted again.
"Hey, let us talk," the nurse next to them called out.
"What's wrong?" Afei was a little confused by the call!
"I called you, why didn't you answer?" The nurse glanced into Xiaoli's ward and asked.
"She fell and hurt herself." "
You! You're such a fool!" Because of their long-term interaction, the young nurse had become quite familiar with Afei.
She didn't care about anything when she spoke to him.
"How am I a fool?" Afei said stupidly.
"My sister Xiaoli is awake," the nurse said, tapping Afei's head.
"What?" Afei said in disbelief.
"My sister Xiaoli is awake, see for yourself."
"Impossible, I just came out of the ward, she..." Afei said, looking into the ward. Before he could finish, he saw Xiaoli gazing at him with tears in her eyes. Afei stood there dumbfounded, staring at his lover who had been unconscious just a minute ago.
"Are you just going to stand there like an idiot?" the nurse asked.
"What should I do?" Afei asked blankly. But tears of emotion were already streaming down his face.
"Go in!" the nurse said.
"Afei!" the doctor said.
"What is it?" Afei turned to look at the doctor.
"Because the patient hasn't spoken for a long time, she may have some speech difficulties. Also, she just woke up, so try not to move her or let her talk. I've already called the hospital director and the head doctor; they'll be here soon to give her a full examination." The doctor finished in one breath, afraid that Afei would interrupt him again.
"Thank you, doctor!" Afei said sincerely.
"No need, it's been so long, why are we still talking about this! Let's go in!" Having spent so much time together, the hospital staff all admired and respected Afei; a deep friendship had formed between them.
Just then, the nurse's phone rang.
"Hello... Oh, it's you!... He's waiting for you." the nurse said.
"Brother Afei, it's your phone," the nurse said, turning to Afei.
"Who is it?" Afei asked, confused.
"You'll know once you answer," the nurse replied playfully.
Afei took the phone and said, "Hello!"
"Afei, it's Yan! I'm divorced, wait for me to come back."
