Termination notices came one after another, not only from our partners, but also demanding the company to pay enormous penalty fees.

I sold everything I had, like houses, but it's still not enough to fill the financial hole of several billion yuan.

When I opened my phone, it was filled with curses directed at me.

I'm completely finished, with no chance of getting back up again.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

What I'm concerned about is where Lin Qing wants to go by plane.

Finally, unable to bear the harassment, the doctor told me that he wants to go to City H to see the sea.

I fell silent.

This was a wish I expressed when I proposed to him, saying that I wanted to have a wedding by the seaside.

But in the end, after he prepared everything, I rejected him.

...

I slapped myself hard, sat in the corridor, smoked two packs of cigarettes, and then called Chen Jie to explain the situation.

She cried bitterly on the other end of the phone, unable to even scold me.

Only then did I realize that she was also feeling powerless.

Not long after, Lin Qing was admitted to the ICU.

I know that time is running out, I have to hurry, even faster.

...

When I managed to buy the cream puffs, I still thought I was lucky because their matcha cream puffs are very popular and sometimes sold out by noon.

But when I returned to the orphanage and heard the sound of mournful crying, I realized something was wrong.

Upon entering, I saw Lin Qing sitting upright in a wheelchair, looking emaciated, covered with a thin blanket, his lips slightly curved, as if peacefully falling asleep.

But there was no movement in his chest whatsoever.

I stumbled and rushed to his side, only to realize that he was really gone, and he didn't even wait for me.

...

But it's okay, I will go and do it for him.

I know he doesn't want to see me, so I bought a plot in the same cemetery, the farthest distance from him.

I lie on the bed, looking out the window.

I don't know when, but it started snowing.

The first snowfall.

I think of the day he proposed to me, also on a snowy day.

He was wearing a white down jacket, his nose turning red from the cold, but when he smiled, it was like sunshine sprinkling on him, so gentle.

I smiled, my mind becoming increasingly hazy.

The pill bottle slipped from my hand.

(The End)
