She only noticed something was wrong with him after three days of being in a daze. At that moment when she just woke up, feeling very thirsty, she mentioned wanting some water, and Tang Yuchen, who had been by her side all along, went to get it for her. He had just taken two steps when a wave of dizziness hit him, causing his body to sway. Seeing this, An Ruo was terrified, but Tang Yuchen didn’t feel it was significant. Once the dizziness passed, he continued to get her water. He brought a cup of water over, gently helped her sit up, and carefully fed her the water. An Ruo, however, just stared at him. She suddenly noticed how much weight he’d lost, with a greenish stubble under his chin. In just a few days, he had aged significantly. The hand holding the cup showed protruding knuckles, and the ring that originally fit perfectly on his finger had become much looser. And his eyes were full of bloodshot lines, at a glance appearing almost like red pupils. An Ruo stared blankly at him, while Tang Yuchen was unaware of her inner thoughts, softly asking her, "Didn’t you want to drink water? Why aren’t you drinking?" "Mm." An Ruo responded softly, lowering her eyes to hide the pain in them. After drinking, she requested to see Lan Keren, wanting to speak with her alone. Tang Yuchen was unwilling to leave her even for a minute now, reluctant to part. But after much pleading, he had no choice but to reluctantly leave her to Lan Keren. He even forcefully stated that they only had ten minutes to talk. An Ruo agreed with a smile, and to reassure him, she proactively kissed his lips. The man, after tasting sweetness, had a slightly better expression when he left the room. Lan Keren entered the bedroom, asking how she was feeling and assuring her not to worry, since William had new research, and they’d soon figure out a way to save her life. An Ruo was no longer concerned about her life or death; besides, she had only a few days left. She didn’t believe they could develop a cure in time. "Ke Ren, has Tang Yuchen not rested these past few days?" she asked. Lan Keren didn’t want her to worry, but Tang Yuchen’s condition indeed looked bleak. "Mm, he has barely rested these days, hardly even eaten anything. If he continues , it may endanger his life." An Ruo understood that if Tang Yuchen continued down this path, sudden death was a real possibility.

Lan Keren left, and Tang Yuchen came in to ask her, "What did you two talk about?" An Ruo leaned against him, smiling, "It’s a secret between women." The man amusingly kissed her forehead, suddenly comforting her, "Sweetheart, don’t be afraid, I will always be with you, I won’t leave you alone." He intended to accompany her to death. In fact, he would live a few days longer than she, but he planned to end his life when she died. An Ruo’s eyes reddened, her long lashes drooping as two tears quietly fell. "Tang Yuchen, it’s so fortunate to have met you in this life," she grasped his hand, her heart filled with gratitude to the heavens. Despite a life full of hardships, obtaining such unwavering true love was all the fulfillment she needed. Tang Yuchen, in return, tightly clasped her hand, wrapping his other arm around her fiercely, "Me too." The two of them whispered together; Tang Yuchen’s heart was joyful, for this time she didn’t fall asleep again immediately after waking up. As long as she stayed awake, he was willing to chat with her for a lifetime.
