After Luo Shaoqing conceived in October and gave birth to a boy, Xue Chengyu's body suddenly couldn't support it when the whole family was happy for it.

After a heavy rain, the temperature dropped sharply. At the same time, Xue Chengyu contracted a severe wind and cold again. He continued to have a high fever and became very sick.

Fortunately, this time it was just a fever, and there were no intractable diseases left after the illness, but Xue Chengyu's body was getting weaker and weaker, which always made Xu Lang worry that he would not be able to hold on one day.

Under Xu Lang's careful care, Xue Chengyu lived for three more years, and when Xue Chengyu was 24 years old, his body was completely unable to support him, and he fainted when he closed his eyes. When he woke up again, he was half a child. months later.

For half a month, Xu Lang stayed by Xue Chengyu's bed every step of the way, looking forward to Xue Chengyu's waking up, but he didn't see the energetic appearance of the young man in the past. Now Xue Chengyu is so sick that he can't get out of bed. If you live another day, you will earn more. one day.However, the weather was not beautiful, and it started to rain continuously just like spring.

The rain in the south of the Yangtze River does not stop once it starts. The rain as thin as a cow's hair lasted for seven days. The whole of the south of the Yangtze River has been washed clean, and the air is filled with the smell of moist soil. It is the smell of nature, which makes people feel very relaxed.

The double cherry blossoms in the courtyard also showed vitality after the rain, but the flowers blooming towards the sun this year were sparse and scattered.

Due to the cold weather, Xue Chengyu could only hide in the house. The recurring attacks of his old illness made his body worse day by day. He knew that his time was numbered, and now he was just lingering on his last breath.

The continuous rain in the morning finally stopped. Seeing that the weather outside was good, Xu Lang helped Xue Chengyu out of the house, and lay down on the deck chair to bask in the sun.

Xue Chengyu's face became paler, and his lips, which were not dark in color, were even paler now. The morbid pallor told Xu Lang that Xue Chengyu's condition was getting worse all the time.

In fact, Xu Lang knew about Xue Chengyu's situation a long time ago. Xue Chengyu didn't want to talk about it and he didn't want to ask about it. Yes, it will get better after the illness is cured.

"Chengyu, it's cold, put on the fox fur to avoid the wind." After speaking, Xu Lang covered Xue Chengyu with the fox fur, covering his upper body tightly.

Even the warm spring breeze in April can blow Xue Chengyu's body is too weak, even the warmest external objects can't warm his coldness from the inside out.

Sometimes he wonders what Xu Hong should do when his blood is no longer hot and his heart is no longer beating. The two of them have lived together for seven years. …

"Chengyu, you see the cherry blossoms are blooming again this year, but compared to previous years, this year's cherry blossoms are not very blooming..."

Xue Chengyu turned his head to look at the double cherry tree. This tree was a small tree many years ago, with only a few branches. After 17 years, it has grown luxuriantly, with eight layers of height, and the branches are vigorously stretching upwards. Swaying cherry blossoms.In Xue Chengyu's eyes, this cherry tree is his tree of life, and his life and death are written on this tree.

"Maybe...it's going to die...only old trees can do this..."

Hearing Xue Chengyu's words, Xu Wei felt very uncomfortable, turned around and retorted: "How can you call it an old tree if it's only 20 years old? It's still young..."

Yeah, he's dying even though he's still young...

"I'll get some fertilizer in a few days, nourish him and water him, and he'll be fine..."

However, before Xu Lang could finish speaking, Xue Chengyu interrupted: "Xiao Hong... go get a cup of tea..." Xue Chengyu spoke weakly, as if he was restraining something.

Xu Lang quickly ran into the room and took out the tea set, poured a cup of freshly brewed tea and handed it to Xue Chengyu.

Tremblingly, Xue Chengyu took the teacup and blew on it. Just after taking a sip, there seemed to be a surge of blood in his body. The hot tea met the cold blood, which immediately caused Xue Chengyu's heart to ache, and he shook the teacup to the ground.

Xue Chengyu covered his mouth with his hand, but he vomited so much blood that he couldn't restrain it, and slowly overflowed from his fingers. Xue Chengyu looked at the blood splashed on the ground, and he knew that this day had finally come.

"Chengyu!" Xu Wei exclaimed, and then Xue Chengyu spat out again. The blood falling on Xu Rong's blue clothes was very eye-catching, like the other side of the roadside in Huangquan, blooming coquettishly, leading Xue Chengyu's soul away .

"Don't scare me! Hold on! I'll call the master and the second young master right away!" After speaking, Xu Hong ran out of the yard.

Xue Chengyu wanted to grab Xu Hong's sleeve and tell him not to bother, but now he didn't even have the strength to hold the cup, so how could he hold him, he could only watch Xu Hong leave his sight.

Xue Chengyu hoped that Xu Hong would come back soon, he couldn't last long, and he still had a lot to say to him.

It was only a few steps back and forth, but Xue Chengyu seemed to have waited for a hundred years. His life was gone in his body. He tightly grasped the handrail to endure the surging blood in his body, and pressed back the blood that came up.

Xu Lang rushed to Xue Chengyu's side, grabbed his hand and comforted him, "Chengyu! Chengyu! The master and the second young master are here!"

"It's useless...I won't live long...Xiao Hong...If you don't say something...it will be too late..." Xue Chengyu raised his hand with difficulty to wipe away the tears from Xu Hong's face.

"Xiao Lang... I am lucky in this life... to meet you...you brought me... the light...healed my leg...let me stand up again...walked through the mountains and rivers with you ...everyday with you...I feel very happy...but...but...cough..."

Then another mouthful of blood was coughed up, and Xu Lang cried and wiped the blood from the corner of Xue Chengyu's mouth, thinking that if he was pulled out, he would not vomit anymore...

"Cheng Yu... Please stop talking... Wait until the illness is cured... Let's talk... From day to night...Talk about the last three days and three nights...I will accompany you..."

At the same time, Master Xue and Xue Chengyi also arrived in time, Master Xue pulled Xue Chengyu's hand number to feel his pulse, but in the end he could only shake his head helplessly.

He was terminally ill and there was no cure.

"I still... can't give you a title... I can't... I can't protect you... I can only give you all I have..."

"I don't care about status, I don't want anything, I just want you...Cheng Yu, I only have you...don't leave me..."

Xu Lang cried like a tearful person, and the tears fell on Xue Chengyu's hands drop by drop like a broken bamboo, making Xue Chengyu feel very uncomfortable.

But he can't do anything now, he can only watch Xu Lang crying in front of him so heartbroken, this crying man is what he can't let go of the most.

"Xu Hong, don't cry...as long as the Xue family is here...will protect you for a day...no one can touch you...don't be afraid...whether it's in the sky...or on the ground...the wind, the sea and the rain...I I will protect you..."

Xue Chengyu panted with difficulty, and held Xu Lang's hand tremblingly, "I'm sorry... this life... I still can't keep the promise to live forever with you... I'll come to you again in the next life... I'll use the jade pendant as my... Proof...don't forget me..."

Xue Chengyu's breathing became weaker and weaker, and the double cherry blossoms "rustling" sounded by a gust of breeze, Xue Chengyu raised his head with difficulty, looked at the tree with a smile, and sighed:

"Sakura...thank you..."

All of a sudden, the originally gentle breeze became violent. Xu Hong turned his head to look at the cherry tree. The cherry blossoms on the sunny side were blown away by the wind, forming a rain of cherry blossoms. When Xu Hong turned his head to look at Xue Chengyu, he had already Sleep in your arms and never wake up again.

"Chengyu...Chengyu..." Xu Lang called Xue Chengyu softly, but Xue Chengyu couldn't hear her anymore.

"You promised to protect me for the rest of your life... I can't count..."

Xu Lang hugged Xue Chengyu and wept bitterly. Under the rain of cherry blossoms, he lost the last person in the world who treated him best and loved him the most.

Master Xue also had difficulty facing the blow of the eldest son's death, but he still maintained the majesty of the head of the family, and said solemnly: "Xiao Hong... our Xue family owes you... our Xue family is sorry for you..."

"If it wasn't for Cheng Yu who saved me back then, and the master didn't leave me in the mansion, I would have died in the winter seven years ago...It is my greatest blessing to meet Cheng Yu and the master, please allow me I'll give Chengyu a ride..."

Master Xue thought about it and finally agreed, presumably Xue Chengyu would also hope that Xu Hong would accompany him on the last part of the journey in heaven.

The whole Jiangnan was shocked to hear that Xue's parents had passed away. All the sons and friends who had friendship with Xue Chengyu came to Xue's mansion to investigate. Those who had been rescued by Xue Chengyu also came to Xue's mansion and cried, their voices were earth-shattering , which is sad to hear.

But the mansion was very quiet.

The black and white curtains in the mourning hall fluttered in the wind. There were no desolate cries from the female relatives, and no helpless sighs from friends. There was only Xu Hong in white clothes kneeling alone in front of Xue Chengyu's tablet burning paper money, sad but not miserable.

Xue Chengyu's coffin stopped within Xu Hong's reach, and only a layer of wooden boards separated life and death.

Xue Chengyu was very peaceful in the end. He lost his mother when he was young, and a cold in his youth left him with persistent illnesses, and he almost lost his life.

After meeting Xu Hong, he couldn't protect him for the rest of his life. His life was full of hardships. In the end, he could die in Xu Hong's arms.

Xue Chengyu's good friend Jiang Qinian tried his best to persuade Xu Lang because of the fate he had with Xu Lang several times, let him mourn his grief and change, and take care of his health as the most important thing.

Xu Lang was not moved, and still maintained his original state, silent, staring at the tablet with empty eyes, even if his hands were burned by the fire in the brazier, he didn't respond at all, as if he had lost his soul.

Xue Chengyu left him, and the spiritual pillar of the past seven years was equivalent to falling down. Without Xue Chengyu, Xu Lang felt that life would be meaningless.

He used to be able to take care of Xue Chengyu and repay the Xue family for saving his life, but now the person who needs his care is gone, and the Xue family does not need him to repay him. He has no reason to live anymore. , maybe going down to accompany Xue Chengyu is his best destination.
