201: Su Qingge sheds helpless tears, Lin Xuan comforts

Modu First Peoples Hospital.

VIP ward.

After dealing with the various troublesome people in the group, Lin Xuan and Su Qingge rushed to the hospital without stopping to visit Grandpa Su, who was in a coma.

As soon as she entered the door, Su Qingge's eyes turned red.

On the hospital bed.

Su Shengtian was wearing a ventilator, sleeping peacefully.

He was connected to various tubes, and his skin was an ashen color, completely devoid of any blood.

His breathing had become very weak, requiring the aid of a ventilator to maintain his vital signs.

When he exhaled, the air he breathed out hit the medical mask, making a faint, muffled sound, as if he was expressing his pain and helplessness.

The air was filled with a pungent medicinal smell, making one feel somewhat suffocated.

At the same time, it also made people feel a sense of despair and powerlessness, because this was a symbol of life nearing its end...

"Grandpa Su... how did he become like this..."

Seeing her Grandpa Su in such a state with her own eyes, Su Qingge's tears instantly streamed down.

In her heart.

Su Shengtian had always been that incomparably majestic and powerful figure, the pillar that supported the Su Family and kept it standing strong.

He always remained unfazed even when a mountain collapsed before him, as if no difficulty could ever defeat him... But now... Looking at the Grandpa Su who once dominated the scene, now like a fragile old man, barely clinging to life on his sickbed.

Su Qingge truly realized... her Grandpa Su was really old... If he were his peers, they would probably be enjoying their twilight years and family happiness by now...

"This is all due to my incompetence, which made Grandpa Su, at such an age, still have to worry about all sorts of things."

"If I were strong enough, then this kind of thing would never have happened."

"Grandpa Su, I'm sorry. I won't let you worry anymore. I will stand on my own and take over the heavy burden from your hands."

"Please, you must get better! Don't ever leave me alone in this world..."

"If even you are gone, then I will truly... have no family left."

"Even for my sake... Grandpa Su, please, you must wake up..."

...

Su Qingge was filled with self-reproach, deeply hating her own powerlessness.

Her tears, like crystal pearls, silently moistened both sides of her cheeks.

She didn't know how many years it had been... since she had felt this fear of loss and sadness... Even when she became a vegetable before, the emotions she felt were only resentment and anger.

But this intense feeling of fear of loss, it seemed to have only appeared on the day her parents and relatives died...

"Don't cry, Grandpa Su will be fine. I promise!"

Just as the young woman was sinking into boundless sorrow... Lin Xuan's gentle and firm voice came, full of strong confidence, making those who heard it instinctively trust him.

Immediately after.

A tissue came, gently wiping away Su Qingge's tears, and he lightly pulled her into his embrace.

"Of course, if you still want to cry..."

"Then I'll lend you my shoulder for a good cry, letting out all the pent-up emotions will make you feel better."

"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you."

Listening to this tone, which sounded like he was coaxing a child, Su Qingge suddenly felt a surge of grievance and sadness in her heart, she didn't know why.

She seemed to see her father's shadow in the young man.

When she was sad as a child... her father would often hug her like this, smiling and saying he would lend her his shoulder, letting her cry as much as she wanted...

"Good girl ~ Good girl ~ ~ ~ Cry, cry ~ ~"

Lin Xuan gently patted the young woman's back, softly comforting her as she silently shed tears.

"After you cry, it will be clear skies. Everything will get better, and I will always be with you."

"No matter what path you choose to take in the future, I will be by your side, accompanying you until the end of time..."

"..."

In the original plot.

Su Qingge's character was always cold and ruthless.

She never showed a vulnerable side, let alone shed tears in front of others.

But due to Lin Xuan's intervention, the young woman passed through what was originally her "blackened" vegetative state with a new, positive, and optimistic mindset.

This made her seem more like a girl pretending to be strong... Under the blow of a loved one's impending death, she revealed her vulnerable and helpless side, crying like an ordinary girl.

However, Lin Xuan did not resist this change, and was even quite pleased.

After all, when a woman shows her most helpless state in front of another man.

It means that she trusts him deep down, or rather... she sees the other person as someone to rely on...

"Qingge, I know you are very self-reliant. You always want to shoulder many things by yourself and don't want to trouble those around you."

"But you won't be able to bear it like that; when the various emotions in your heart are suppressed to the extreme, you will break down."

"I am always by your side! I hope you can trust me, I hope you can rely on me..."

"No matter what happens, we'll face it together."

...

He didn't know how long it had been.

Lin Xuan only remembered that he kept talking, and the girl kept listening, silently shedding tears.

Until a cold mechanical sound rang out...

"I'm fine now, let go of me. Thank you!"

Releasing the young woman from his embrace, Lin Xuan then realized that her tears had dried, and her pupils had regained their firmness, no longer as fragile as before.

As the two looked at each other, Su Qingge's pretty face flushed, and she unnaturally shifted her gaze.

Only then did she secretly blame herself in her heart, how could she not control her emotions?!

She actually cried in front of an outsider again... Didn't I already make up my mind never to cry in front of anyone again?!

However, she was still filled with gratitude for Lin Xuan's comfort.

If it weren't for him... how could her emotions have been released like this?!

They would definitely have piled up in her heart, filled with immense hatred.

Even she herself knew that if it continued like that, her psychology would only become more dark and twisted...

It was just the first time she had shown such an incompetent side in front of Lin Xuan.

She was a bit unsure how to face Lin Xuan... After all, he had married into the Su Family, marrying her, which meant... that she would have to protect him from now on.

With such a crying, little-girl image, how could she give Lin Xuan a sense of security in the future, and make him believe that she could take good care of him...
