    The lights in the operating room were on for thirteen hours.

    The red words “Under Surgery” lit up dazzlingly, beating every second.

    The corridor was full of people.

    Her parents, Chen Rong, Qi Yihuai, Ran Jin, several relatives, and friends who came after hearing the news.

    No one spoke, no one moved, just sat there, staring at the closed door.

    Qi Lan lowered her head and clenched her hands, her knuckles turning white.

    My mother has fainted from crying several times.

    Chen Rong leaned against the wall, staring at the ceiling with red and swollen eyes.

    Thirteen hours.

    Like thirteen years.

    Finally, the lights went out.

    The door opened and the doctor came out and took off his mask.

    Everyone stood up at once and gathered around.

    “How was the surgery?” Qi Lan’s voice was trembling.

    The doctor nodded, “The operation went well.”

    Finally, bursts of suppressed sobs could be heard from the crowd.

    “A few ribs were broken, but we have repaired them. The right hand and leg were fractured, and steel nails were inserted. There was a slight concussion on the head, which needs to be observed for a period of time. The wounds on the body have been treated. There was excessive blood loss, but the blood transfusion was timely and there was no life-threatening danger.” The doctor reviewed the situation live to Qi Lan.

    Qi Gang’s legs went weak and he almost knelt down. He was supported by the person next to him, “She…she is now…”

    “She will need to be observed in the ICU for a few days,” the doctor said, “but don’t worry, she’s coming through.”

    Chen Rong leaned against the wall, slid down slowly, squatted on the ground, covered her face, her shoulders were shaking, but there was no sound.

    The operating room door finally opened completely.

    The nurse pushed the hospital bed out. The man on the bed was lying quietly, with a pale face, his head wrapped in thick gauze, his feet in plaster, and his body covered with a white quilt. Various tubes extended from his body, along with the instruments next to him. Steady numbers danced on the instrument screen.

    The mother rushed over, stood by the bed, looked down at her, her lips moved, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

    The ward is quiet and clean. The windows are large and you can see the sky outside.

    Qi Ranyue was pushed into Yue and settled down.

    Nurses came in and out, adjusting instruments, changing dressings, and taking temperatures.

    Her parents sat beside his bed and never left.

    Chen Rong did not go in, but looked at her at the door, watching her chest rise and fall, watching the numbers on the instrument beat, watching the sky outside the window change from dark to bright…

    I was in a coma for two days and two nights.

    Qi Ranyue’s eyelids trembled and she slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were a little distracted. She blinked and her eyes slowly focused.

    When Qi Ranyue’s mother found out, she stood up suddenly, her voice trembling, “Yueyue!”

    “Mom…” The voice was so small that it was almost inaudible.

    “I’m here, mom is here,” the mother said, holding back tears and nodding desperately.

    “Dad…”

    “Dad is here too…” Qi Lan’s voice was hoarse.

    “Rong Rong…” After saying that, she fainted again.

    The ECG monitor next to the bed suddenly made a rapid beep sound, and the green line fluctuated violently.

    Doctors and nurses rushed over and began to check pupils, breathing, heartbeat…

    One of the nurses said to the family members, “Family members, please get out first!”

    After an unknown amount of time, the green line stabilized and jumped regularly and steadily.

    The doctor came out and said to the family, “It’s stable. It’s not life-threatening for the time being. But the family members should pay attention to the patient’s emotions. She was greatly stimulated. The physical injuries can be treated, but psychologically…you know. After she wakes up, try not to stimulate her, let her take her time, and don’t let her recall those things.”

    Qi Lan nodded and said in a hoarse voice, “I understand, thank you doctor.”

    Three days later.

    She woke up.

    Qi Ranyue didn’t look at them, just stared at the ceiling without blinking.

    The doctor checked him over and said he was recovering well and his vital signs were stable. The next step was to take care of himself slowly.

    But she didn’t speak. She hadn’t said a word since she woke up.

    No matter who asked or what she said, she would not speak.Just stare at the ceiling, or stare out the window, or close it.

    Qi Ranyue’s mother cried for a long time and talked a lot.

    But she lay there, motionless, not saying a word, just looking out the window.

    Finally she moved, slowly turned her head, looked at her mother, then at her father and Chen Rong, her voice was hoarse but very calm: “I don’t want to hold Xu Xingci responsible, he is also a poor man. And those two people named Qi and Ran, I don’t want to see them in this life, and told them not to appear in front of me. Also, after I am discharged from the hospital, I want to see the return bag.”

    Qi Ranyue paused and continued, “You guys go out first. I want to be quiet for a while, you guys are so noisy.”

    The ward suddenly became quiet.

    Her mother opened her mouth to say something, but her father stopped her. He shook his head at her, then helped her out.

    Walking to the door, Qi Ranyue spoke again, “Rongrong, stay with me.”

    Chen Rong was stunned for a moment.

    The door is closed.

    They were the only two left in the ward.

    She looked at her for a long time and said, “Come here and hold my hand. I can’t hold your hand now.”

    She glanced down at her cast hand.

    Chen Rong stood there, looking at her. Her eyes were no longer as bright, lively, and calm as before, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

    Chen Rong slowly stretched out her hand, gently and carefully, and held Qi Ranyue’s hand. Her hand was still cold, a little lower than usual.

    Qi Ranyue lowered her head and looked at the hand she held for a long time. The corners of her mouth slowly curved up, she smiled, and then she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

    The sun shone in through the window, falling on her face and on her hands that were being held.

    During the past few days while lying in bed, listening to the long beeping sound of the instrument, I thought it was saying goodbye to the world.

    At that moment, Qi Ranyue finally understood that there is nothing after death.

    All the people you want to love, all you want to be happy, all the things you want to do, all the things you want to get, all the delicious food you want to eat, will disappear as if they never existed.

    My heart beats in my chest again, reminding myself every second that life itself is a huge gift.

    After experiencing life and death, I began to rethink the meaning of living for myself.

    In this world, no one or anything is worth exchanging your life and grievance for yourself.

    Every day you live, you must live for yourself. Get what you want, say it loudly, be brave enough to do what you want to do, and walk wherever you want to go…

    Stop letting yourself down and put yourself first.

    If you betray yourself, what’s the point of living.

    Qi Ranyue opened her eyes and looked at Chen Rong for a long, long time.

    An idea flashed through her mind, that when she got better, she would do that thing, that thing that she had thought about for a long time but never dared to do.

    Not impulsively, not on a whim.

    Even if she doesn’t agree, that’s okay.
