Ji Cheng froze in the spot. He glanced at Ji Meiling and put the food on the table. He took out the tray and placed the food on it and brought it to Ji Meiling.
"Um..you haven't eaten anything since... eat first" Ji Cheng said with a dry smile.
"OK" Ji Meiling sensed something was wrong with his behavior but she agreed.
After eating, she took her medicine and slept off immediately. Ji Cheng felt a relieved but what was he going to say to her the next day.
...
The next morning Ji Meiling woke up early. Ji Cheng came in and brought her breakfast. Before he could even sit down on the chair close to her, she asked again
"Ji Cheng can I use your phone, I really need to call my brother, he must be worried about me."
This time, Ji Cheng did not know what to do. He put his hand in, his pocket and slowly brought his phone out. His hands were shaking uncontrollably as he brought the phone towards her. His reaction made her feel that something was wrong.
"Ji Cheng what's wrong?, what are you not telling me?" Ji Meiling asked.
"Did something happen to my brother?... is he sick?".
A dry and brief smile appeared on Ji Cheng's face. If he was sick wouldn't that be better than being dead?.
He took a deep breath and placed the phone on the table. He looked at Ji Meiling with misty eyes.
"He's dead".
Ji Meiling thought she heard wrong and asked him again. He repeated the same words. She felt numb due to shock. The pain she felt afterwards overwhelmed and frightened her that she quickly got up from her bed while tears fell heavily from her eyes but before she could reach the door, she fell because her body was still weak.
" No!!..No!!..No!!...Feng'er!!" she screamed.
Ji Cheng quickly went to carry her but she pushed him away. She tried to get up but she fell. Ji Cheng quickly caught her and took her back to the bed and held her firmly while she cried.
...
5 days later, she was discharged. She went to Sky High School to look for Jin Yan and Li Shen. They were both surprised when they heard Ji Meiling was looking for them. In their excitement, they rushed out of class to see her.
Qin Jiali just finished her class and it was also break time. She was heading to the school cafeteria when she spotted Jin Yan and Li Shen with a woman. She stood still and watched them. After a while, the woman left while crying.
Jin Yan and Li Shen stood still in one spot in shock. To them, it felt as if the whole world has stopped.
Ji Meiling went back to Xingfu garden and packed all her belongings while Ji Cheng drove her to the airport.
"Will you come back?" Ji Cheng asked.
"Maybe" Ji Meiling answered as she left.
