Today I received an admission notice from a hospital in Beijing!

I was happy, excited, and thrilled. I can't remember clearly, I just felt my mind go blank, with only one goal in mind: Shen Qianjin's house.

I rushed to Shen Qianjin's house with all my strength. When I pushed open the door, my whole body froze...

In the living room, there was a black and white photo of Shen Qianjin, and only a middle-aged woman wiping away tears...

She looked at me and said, "You're Qianqian's classmate, right?"

Her voice was hoarse.

She must be Shen Qianjin's mother, right?

I couldn't control my tears anymore. "Yes, Auntie, I am... Shen Qianjin, she..."

"Qianqian passed away from terminal cancer..."

Passed away? When this news came out of her mother's mouth, the whole world stood still.

How is that possible? I still don't want to believe it. We were just separated not long ago...

We were supposed to work in the same city together, to witness the magnificent mountains and rivers of our motherland together...

Cancer? Thinking back to when Shen Qianjin didn't come to school for weeks, getting thinner each time, still eating those so-called vitamin C... it must be related to this illness, right?

She was so unusual, but I didn't notice. She was so abnormal...

Auntie patted my back. "Don't blame Xiaoqian. Xiaoqian was afraid of affecting your life..."

I forced a smile and said, "Auntie, I don't blame her..."

But Shen Qianjin, why did you break your promise? You promised me that we would be lifelong best friends. Can't you stay?
