God of Racing

Chapter 849: Chapter 845:

"Okay." Le Zhengsheng shook his head and smiled. "Don’t say anymore; I know. All eight of my brothers have passed the same way, and I’m used to it. It’s just my turn now."

Yu Sangwan covered her mouth; her eyes instantly welled up.

"Let’s go home! Rest well today, and tomorrow the new treatment begins."

"Mm."

Le Zhengsheng nodded. Yu Sangwan looked up at him; the once carefree and mischievous young man had shed his youthful naivety, only to gain a layer of weary resignation.

...

In the evening, Yu Sangwan received a call from Gu Xiaoning.

On the phone, Gu Xiaoning’s voice was cautious. "Hello, may I ask... if this is Miss Yu Sangwan?"

"Hm?" Yu Sangwan was startled, recognizing her voice. "Ningning?"

"Uh... yes." Gu Xiaoning was somewhat embarrassed but seemed even more anxious. "Ahsheng’s phone is always unreachable; do you know how he’s doing?"

"Sigh." Yu Sangwan sighed softly. Ahsheng was down! Afraid of dragging Gu Xiaoning down.

She thought for a moment and said, "Ahsheng will start his second round of treatment tomorrow and is resting now."

"Oh, will he be at the hospital tomorrow?" Gu Xiaoning sounded a bit excited. "Then I won’t disturb his rest; I’ll go find him at the department tomorrow! Thanks a lot, goodbye!"

Yu Sangwan was slightly stunned, staring at her phone... she respected Ahsheng’s wishes, considering his health situation.

But deep down, she hoped Gu Xiaoning would be firm and even firmer, not give up on Ahsheng! Today, as Le Zhengsheng was going to the hospital, Yu Sangwan prepared some things to take with him.

Little Mantou came downstairs with Gong Xueyan and immediately rushed towards Le Zhengsheng.

"Ahsheng, you’re not going home for a while, are you?"

"Yes." Le Zhengsheng ruffled the little one’s hair. "Will you miss me?"

"Mm." Little Mantou nodded. "Don’t worry about being lonely; I’ll come to the hospital right after class to keep you company, just like when mom isn’t around."

"Haha." Le Zhengsheng laughed. "You’re truly my good son!"

"Heehee."

Little Mantou grinned and fist-bumped Le Zhengsheng.

Their relationship was like brothers yet like father and son, making it enviable to anyone.

Gong Xueyan lifted Little Mantou’s backpack. "Starting today, auntie’s taking you; is that okay?"

"Mm!" Little Mantou obediently nodded. "Thank you, Auntie."

"So well-behaved." Gong Xueyan looked at him, then thought of Susu.

Yu Sangwan understood, patting her shoulder. "Let’s go."

"Mm." Gong Xueyan smiled, looking normal.

Yu Sangwan thought of something and suddenly asked, "Xueyan, why did you suddenly change your phone number?"

"Oh!" Gong Xueyan smiled, "I didn’t change my number; it’s just temporarily unused. Because I’m working here and need to contact colleagues, using a Holy City number is inconvenient."

"Well, that makes sense..."

Yu Sangwan didn’t ask more, calling to Le Zhengsheng, "Ahsheng, let’s go!"

Watching them leave, Gong Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t dare to tell Yu Sangwan that her father, Gong Hongming, had been calling her frequently, so she stopped using that number to avoid causing trouble for Yu Sangwan.

During this time here, she only hoped Yu Sangwan could safely give birth.

"Mr. Lu, we’re leaving."

...

In the hospital room, Le Zhengsheng had changed clothes.

A nurse arrived with a wheelchair, waiting for him.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Aunt Gu walked in first.

"..." Le Zhengsheng was startled, not immediately reacting as he looked at Aunt Gu.

"Ahsheng." Gu Xiaoning supported her mother’s hand, slowly stepping in. Despite having bandages on her head and a plaster on her foot, she was all smiles, showing no signs of pain. "Did I arrive late?"

Le Zhengsheng’s heart jumped. He could lie to others, but not to his real feelings... Gu Xiaoning’s presence made him truly happy.

"Heehee."

Gu Xiaoning shuffled over with her plastered leg. "I knew you were starting treatment today."

She took out a candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and held it to his mouth; it was a very small piece.

"This... is Xiao Zheng’s favorite ’Niusa Sara’, a bit sweet." Gu Xiaoning beamed. "Yesterday, Xiao Zheng came over and handed this to me while calling for ’brother’; I’m guessing he meant to give it to you. Hurry, eat it up! You’re about to start the bitter days, can’t have anything sweet."

Le Zhengsheng furrowed his brows, looking at her, wanting to say something but stopping.

"Hm?" Gu Xiaoning was puzzled. "Open your mouth!"

Le Zhengsheng paused and said, "No need... um..."

However, Gu Xiaoning seized the moment to shove it into his mouth. "Just eat it when I say so; why be so wishy-washy? Be a man, eat like a champ!"

Le Zhengsheng was a bit dazed; Yu Sangwan couldn’t help but laugh at the sight. That’s what they call one word defeats another!

"Nurse, we can go now." Le Zhengsheng murmured with the candy in his mouth.

"Alright."

Her reaction was indifferent throughout. Gu Xiaoning looked at Yu Sangwan; what’s up with him?

Sigh... Yu Sangwan sighed silently, shaking her head.

Outside the treatment room, Yu Sangwan and Gu Xiaoning sat side by side.

"What’s wrong with him?" Gu Xiaoning, seemingly naive, had bottled this up for days. Today, Ahsheng’s attitude clearly wasn’t right.

Yu Sangwan frowned, unsure how to answer.

"Is he mad at my mom?" Gu Xiaoning pouted. "What’s the point of being petty? I didn’t say I don’t want him!"

"No..." Yu Sangwan shook her head. "Ningning, Ahsheng didn’t think like that."

Gu Xiaoning was stunned and looked at Yu Sangwan. "Then what’s wrong with him?"

"Ningning." Yu Sangwan contemplated, then spoke. "Actually, we all have to face this directly. Your mother’s worries are not baseless. Ahsheng might not survive; his life could be very short, too short for us to accept."

Saying this, her eyes also reddened.

"..."

Gu Xiaoning was stunned, unable to speak for quite a while.

Yu Sangwan watched her, fearing she might back down... but if she indeed had to retreat, it was better now than later.

Poor Ahsheng, wasting six years of his life on her! He can’t afford another emotional failure!

After a long time, Gu Xiaoning finally spoke.

"I know." Gu Xiaoning traced her finger lightly on the bench. "How could I not know? Although I’m not good academically, I’m still a nurse. His illness most likely can’t be cured, and I know it."

Yu Sangwan was taken aback, staring at her steadily.

"Heh." Gu Xiaoning laughed. "But, what can I do? If I like him, I like him!"

"Ningning."

Yu Sangwan held Gu Xiaoning’s shoulders, slightly agitated. "You’re still young. I must tell you something harsh! Ahsheng might eventually pass away, leaving you along in this world! If you accept him, then during his time, don’t ever regret it! Otherwise, you’d ruin him!"

She paused. "It’s said that there’s no filial child in front of the sickbed for long; this is a very real issue."

"Heehee." Gu Xiaoning laughed tearfully. "Sangwan Sister, do you know I have an autistic brother?"

"..." Yu Sangwan was stunned; she really didn’t know this.

Gu Xiaoning smiled. "I won’t abandon Ahsheng, just like I won’t abandon my autistic brother!"

At that moment, Yu Sangwan’s eyes turned sore, tears falling.

She gently embraced Gu Xiaoning. "Thank you, thank you."

"Sangwan Sister, please help me."

"Alright."
