An Junxing’s face showed surprise, and as she turned around, she met Lu Jiaming’s bright eyes. Her eyes instantly filled with tears. “Brother Lu, you came.”
“Yes,” Lu Jiaming responded softly, his long arms wrapping tightly around An Junxing’s cold body, his head buried in her neck. “I told you, this time I won’t break my promise.”
Chapter 43: Bearing Alone
An Junxing, with the help of Lu Jiaming’s strength, turned around. “The finals are tomorrow, and you’re here. Don’t you need to take care of the team?”
“Are they still kids?” Lu Jiaming pulled her into his embrace, a smile playing on his lips. “TYG doesn’t rely on others anymore. I’m the captain, not a nanny.”
An Junxing’s pale lips curved into a barely noticeable, bitter smile. TYG had grown stronger, but she wouldn’t have the chance to be part of it…
“What are you all doing tonight?” An Junxing continued, her hands slowly climbing up Lu Jiaming’s shoulders, her head bowed as she adjusted her weak breathing. The wind from outside chilled her thin hospital gown, making her shiver.
“We’re not doing anything.” Lu Jiaming picked An Junxing up gently, placing her on the hospital bed, explaining softly, “You said health is the capital of revolution. They’re under too much pressure for the finals; they need to relax.”
As Lu Jiaming’s warmth left her, An Junxing used the last of her strength to cling to Lu Jiaming’s neck.
“Brother Lu… don’t go.” Her voice grew faint.
“Star, what’s wrong?” Lu Jiaming finally noticed something, wanting to look up, but felt a tear trace down from An Junxing’s eye, close to his face. He froze.
“Brother Lu, this time I don’t want to hide it from you.” An Junxing’s voice was tearful, whispering in Lu Jiaming’s ear, “Brother Lu, I’m not going to make it…”
Lu Jiaming’s eyes contracted sharply, his voice trembling uncontrollably. “What nonsense are you talking about? Star, are you feeling unwell again? I’ll get the doctor right now.”
Before he could stand, he found An Junxing’s embrace unusually strong.
An Junxing, however, bit her lip, unwilling to let go, pleading humbly, “Brother Lu, I don’t want you to leave… Please stay… just a little longer…”
