After sending Bai Xue home, Huo Yi Qing asked Yan Wen to send food to the hospital because of Bai Xue. The next afternoon, after finishing his work, he went to the hospital to visit Xia Tian Meng in person.

  He didn't expect to see Xia Tian Meng in the hospital room, not sitting on the bed reading a book as usual, but standing alone by the window wearing a white shirt and black skirt, looking out at the lawn behind the hospital. The hospital bed had also been tidied up, with no water cup or anything else left on the table, indicating that the patient was about to leave.

  "What's wrong? You're still not suitable for moving." Huo Yijin slightly furrowed his brow, thinking that Xia Tianmeng was being a bit too willful.

  Xia Tian Meng didn't turn around to look at him, but instead leaned her forehead against the window frame beside her, staring blankly at the people coming and going on the lawn below.

  Huo Yi Jing walked forward, following her gaze, and saw a young man holding hands with a young woman taking a stroll. The intimacy between them was obvious, and in the end, the man hugged the woman and kissed her.

  Xiatian Meng slightly raised her lips, her voice dry: "A Qiang, I know you don't like me anymore."

  Huo Yi Jing didn't expect her to say that, and his body froze for a moment. Without looking at her, he could sense her sadness.

  "I don't know what to say, maybe I should just laugh at the impermanence of things." Xia Tian Meng looked down at the couple kissing below, tears falling one by one. "The day before you disappeared, you told me that you would always be with me, this was something you said with your own mouth, I thought we would spend our whole lives together, after all, you were so special to me."

  Huo Yiqing had never seen Xia Tianmeng cry like this before. Even without a sound, the tears falling from her eyes made his heart ache.

  In the summer, Meng turned her head to look at him, her eyes so focused: "When you're not around, I have trouble sleeping all night, but I keep telling myself that I'll find you. You're so great, nothing will happen to you." Yeah, you've come back so well, but your heart is gone. You left your heart with that girl who accompanied you for a month and chose to forget me, the old friend who accompanied you for three years.

  "Perhaps our fate was meant to be this way, even if I tried so hard to hold on to you and recall your memories, but in the end it's all just an empty dream."

  "You adore Miss Bai's innocence and kindness, forgetting what I used to be like. You and I are just as selfish and overbearing, yet you refuse to spare even a little bit of love for me."

  "I took a bullet for you, not regretting it one bit. But as I lay dying, I'm filled with sorrow at the thought of never seeing you again. I thought I wasn't afraid of anything, but I'm still scared that I won't be able to see your face, talk to you, or give you warmth."

  "You once said you liked the cleanliness I gave you, but now you've chosen someone else for warmth. I don't think you owe me anything, after all, in matters of feelings, no one owes anyone anything."

  "You don't have to feel sorry, you don't have to feel guilty. What I wanted was never these! What I wanted was the pain of giving to others and losing it again, which I've already felt now. No matter how heartbroken I am, I have no choice but to accept this fact."

  "Ah Jing, you don't love me anymore."

  Xia Tian Meng's voice was trembling as she faced the reality and loss that she had been unwilling to confront. She was powerless to hold on to this doomed love and lover, and now she could only cry as she bid farewell.

  Huoyi Jing didn't know why he felt sad, whether it was because he pitied her or because of an unconscious heartache.

  He knew that Xia Tian Miao cared about him, and if possible, he didn't want to hurt her. However, emotional matters always require betraying one person for another, and now he was choosing Bai Xue over Xia Tian Miao.

  She did so much for him, he wasn't unmoved, but love has never been about being moved.

  In the summer, Meng Fa's trembling hand reached out to touch his face, and the cool palm made Huo Yi Qiang's face stiff. Her mouth was curved with a faint smile, tears streaming down her cheeks, shining with a crystal light in the warm sunlight, she forced herself to smile: "Yi Qiang, I don't blame you, don't feel guilty, you didn't wrong me, my love for you is just my own business. But Yi Qiang, sorry, I don't want to be the obstacle between you and Miss Bai, I want to leave you, far, far away, you can't see me, I won't see you, time will make you forget me, and it will also make me stop loving you."

  Huoyi Jing buried her tear-stained face in his shoulder, and his voice became hoarse: "Xiati Meng, I'm sorry." He should be happy for her independence, but he felt heartache for her, and couldn't bear to let her go. He had never known himself to be so selfish, not loving her yet wanting to monopolize her attention, all of her.

  In the summer, Meng heard the faint scent of men's peppermint fragrance on him, tears streaming down her chin and into her collar. She spoke hoarsely: "A-qing, if I don't love you in the future, please believe that I once loved you so much. I wish I had died from that gunshot wound, at least you would have remembered me forever. I don't want you to forget me, A-qing."

  "Sorry, I won't forget you." Huo Yijiang reached out to touch her long hair, the warm sunlight made him feel like his eyes were stinging, he didn't know if the moisture in his eyes was a sign of weakness, but he knew he couldn't bear to part with her either. She was so special to him, how could he forget her?

  Xiatian Moe wrapped her arms around his neck with a satisfied smile, tears still flowing, and her beautiful eyes had bloodshot: "Aqiong, I once thought of letting that girl keep you, she's smarter than me, I thought you'd fall in love with her. I underestimated your feelings for Miss Bai, your concern for her is no less than mine, so you can refuse everyone's approach, just for her. Aqiong, sorry, I'm not the simple Xiatian Moe in your heart, I'm despicable and want to keep you by my side, even if you love another her, at least I can stay with you forever."

  Huoyi Jing looked at her self-deprecating like this, didn't know what to say. That sickly infatuated Xiatian Meng died for herself, and this innocent Xiatian Meng was also leaving, he wasn't worth her doing so much.

  In the summer, Meng tiptoed and lightly kissed his mouth corner. Tears fell on his lips, with a warm bitterness. She smiled so sadly and reluctantly: "Ah Jing, I have to go. I don't regret meeting you, falling in love with you. Goodbye, I'll use everything to love the person."

  Huoyi Jing's body stiffened as he watched her take a few steps back, the emotions in his eyes changing from reluctance to determination.

  He had no idea she could be so resolute, that even the deepest love could let go. But seeing her like this, he could only remain silent, despite feeling reluctant in his heart.

  He is not qualified to stay.
