C55 (2/2)

I suddenly remembered that night. Was it a dream or was it real? But seeing her like that, I must have had a dream that night.

”Okay, what do you want to eat?”

”I don't want to eat anymore, take me home …” Guan Rou's voice was low and deep. She once again grabbed my arm, ”I have something I want to tell you. Don't tell anyone about what I said last night. Otherwise, you're dead for sure.”

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I replied, ”Why do I feel like I'm being wrongly accused?”

Guan Rou pouted and said, ”What are you wronged for? Did I bully you?” However, did you notice that we are not friends like this? ”

”What does that look like?”

”Like a couple... It just did not pierce the window paper. ” After saying that, Guan Rou's face reddened. She then pulled me by the hand and ran out of the hospital.

Guan Rou reached out her hand to stop a taxi and quickly pulled me into it. Guan Rou leaned on my shoulder with a blissful look on her face, as if she was in heat.

I reached out and touched her forehead. ”What's wrong with you today? Why do you seem like a different person?”

”Am I not good at this?” Guan Rou raised her head and looked at me. I saw that her eyes were a bit moist. Then, she turned her head away and stopped talking.

”We're here …” I paid the driver and Guan Rou jumped out of the car. I don't know what's the matter with the weather these days. It would get cloudy from time to time and then rain.

Seeing the raindrops falling, Guan Rou and I hastily ran into the residential building. We sat in the elevator and entered the house. Guan Rou's clothes were drenched. She quickly took out some clothes from her bedroom and ran into the bathroom. After changing into a set of clean clothes, she walked out.

”You should go and change your clothes as well. Your clothes are all wet.” At this moment, the scene reminded me of the dream I had a few days ago. It was just another rain. ”Wear this pajamas first. I'll change them after your clothes dry.”

Guan Rou handed me a set of pajamas and pushed me into the bathroom. I took a shower and dried myself before changing into my pajamas. Just as I was about to leave the bathroom, I saw a trace of blood in the sink. When I looked at the situation, I realized that Guan Rou already knew about it.

I walked out of the bathroom, and Guan Rou sat on the sofa, watching the TV. I looked out the window, pretended nothing had happened, and went to the window.

It was raining heavily now, and I reached out to close the window. Suddenly, I felt a pair of small, cold hands hug me from behind.

”Do you love me?”

”What?” I was stunned for a moment before I turned around. Guan Rou stared at me as her eyes reddened. ”Did I say that you love me?”

”I... I don't know. ”

”I can see it in your eyes.” This is the most embarrassing situation, and I don't know what to say.

Guan Rou suddenly stood on her tiptoes and kissed my lips. I suddenly felt my head go blank, then a sharp pain came from my mouth. Guan Rou pursed her lips.

”What are you doing?”

”This is our blood oath. I want you to remember that a girl once loved you.” Once? What does that mean? I felt a little uneasy. Guan Rou's actions were truly a little strange.

Guan Rou smiled slightly and said in a soft voice, ”It's nothing. I'm a little tired, so I want to go inside and lie down for a while.”

I helped Guan Rou into the bedroom and helped her onto the bed. I took the quilt and covered her with it. As I turned to leave the bedroom, Guan Rou reached out and grabbed my arm.

”Don't leave, just stay here with me.” I hesitated for a moment before lying down beside her. I reached out and hugged her from behind. Then I quietly laid down on the bed, feeling each other's breathing. Guan Rou's body felt very cold, as if the temperature was slowly decreasing. ”You already know?”

”Of course I know my own illness.”

”I've investigated before. My biological parents abandoned me and sent me to the orphanage because of this family's inherited leukemia.” Guan Rou's voice was somewhat deep, and a trace of tears flashed in her eyes as they streaked across her face.

Guan Rou turned around to face me and said gently, ”I only loved one boy before, but he left me resolutely when he found out that I had leukemia. I started to distrust love.”
