Before the doctor could finish speaking, Su Jinning heard the door to the ward being pushed open, and then a barrage of fists rained down on her face.
He was knocked to the ground and didn't recover from the burning pain for a long time.
The doctor was also quite frightened and quickly tried to pull him away, saying, "Sir, please calm down, this is a hospital!"
"Calm down my ass! My son is in this state! It's all this kid's fault!" Shen Donghai's face was pale, and his expression was distorted with anger.
Su Jinning didn't retaliate or argue. She staggered to her feet, wiping the blood from her lips: "Keep your voice down, he's not awake yet..."
Shen Donghai grabbed his collar, staring at his bloodless face, and said, "Are you satisfied now?! Huh? Look what you've done to him!"
Su Jinning closed her eyes tightly, like a lamb to the slaughter, no longer struggling under the cold knife.
He opened his mouth, but the pain throughout his body was unbearable. "I'm sorry..."
He had nothing left to say but "I'm sorry."
"Do I need your apology?! Look at what he's done for you! What kind of spell did you cast on him? He loves you so much he'd rather lose an arm!!"
Yes, what did he do to deserve this? To make Shen Moyu, who is most afraid of pain, smash the window with his fist and jump directly from the second floor.
Just to see him once.
"Stop hitting me..." Xia Wei was almost in tears, so she quickly grabbed Shen Donghai's hand.
"Didn't you see what Shen Moyu was like because of him? If it weren't for him, none of this would have happened!" Shen Donghai flung Xia Wei's hand away, almost fainting from anger.
Xia Wei stopped talking, moved step by step toward her son, lowered her head, held his hand, and cried.
For a mother, feeling powerless is the greatest frustration.
He couldn't stop Shen Donghai's actions, nor could he undo what had happened. She was filled with regret, but there was no turning back.
"Uncle... I'll leave." Su Jinning lowered his head, his damp hair covering his eyes: "I'll leave completely, and never appear in front of Shen Moyu again..."
He spoke these words with all his might, as if he had cut a piece of his own flesh from his body.
Looking up again, her bloodshot eyes held an unspeakable bitterness: "Could I... stay with him a little longer...?"
He will leave before the snow stops and before Shen Moyu wakes up, completely moving away from Shen Moyu's world.
"You still want to be with him?! How shameless can you be?!" Shen Donghai was so angry that his stomach hurt.
Zhou Xingqi rushed over and hurriedly stopped Shen Donghai, who was about to rush up and hit someone again: "Can you calm down? Let my brother rest!"
These words seemed to awaken Shen Donghai. His lips trembled, and he slammed the door shut as he left.
Su Jinning stood there for a long time without moving, her back slightly bent, and several times she felt uncomfortable and wanted to squat down.
Zhou Xingqi looked at him, feeling waves of heartache.
Isn't this really too cruel...?
But what could he possibly do?
Zhou Xingqi snapped out of his thoughts, bent down and helped Xia Wei up: "Let's go out."
Xia Wei reluctantly got up from beside her son, looked at Su Jinning, and said with deep regret in her eyes, "Xiaoning... Auntie..."
She wanted to say she was powerless, but she tilted her head and couldn't bring herself to say it.
"It's alright, Auntie." Su Jinning grinned, paused for a moment, and then said, "Take care of yourself..."
He had to leave eventually, and he deserved a proper farewell.
Xia Wei couldn't hold back her tears again. Her son had suffered for so long before finally meeting such a good person, but fate had played a cruel trick on him.
After the two left, the ward fell silent instantly, and even the sound of the IV dripping was clearly audible.
The quiet of the moment was perfect for saying goodbye. After so much preparation, Su Jinning had long since accepted it.
He walked to the bedside, reached out his hand, but didn't have the courage to take Shen Moyu's hand. Just like when they first started dating, he lacked the courage.
That time it was out of shyness at first love; this time it's out of retreat at the end of the road.
"Top student, this time... I might really have to leave." Su Jinning's breath trembled as she stood two steps away from him, yet felt as if they were separated by a thousand mountains and rivers.
The person in the hospital bed did not answer him, but simply closed their eyes quietly, as if tacitly agreeing to this parting.
"If in the future..." Su Jinning wanted to continue, he had so much to say to him, as if he could talk for three days and three nights without finishing.
But the words were on the tip of my tongue when I suddenly forgot them.
He struggled with his mouth open for a while, but eventually gave in.
Let me hide my love in this kiss, a once-in-a-lifetime gift, and only for you.
He lowered his head and kissed her. Shen Moyu's lips were still as soft as he remembered, cool to the touch. At this moment, he still couldn't control the overwhelming love he felt.
Tears mercilessly rolled down their cheeks, finally landing between their lips, salty and bitter.
Just like their ending.
Get some sleep, because when you wake up, he won't be there anymore.
After doing all this, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the door. In that instant, he felt as if the sky in his world had completely collapsed, and shards of glass were hitting his heart. The last support in his heart had turned to ruins.
This was the last time he saw him, and the first time he said goodbye.
He asks for nothing more than that the person he loves will be happy the next time they meet, otherwise he will feel resentful.
"Su Jinning!"

To keep all undeniable love buried deep inside is a form of murder.
Chapter 96 Withering
Shen Moyu, carrying her arm wrapped in bandages, ran frantically toward the hospital exit.
He woke up; he had been awake for a long time. He had forced himself to suppress that impulse a thousand times while he was still pretending to be asleep.
But when that tearful kiss landed, he felt panicked once again.
