PFC Chapter 172 The Truth
Chapter 172 The Truth
Qin Lingzheng has not slacked off in the past few months and has done his best. It is impossible for him to do better than it is now.
Even if you don't get what you want in the end, there's nothing you can do about it.
All we can do is do our best and obey fate.
When he got back, he went to the temple in the suburbs and paid his respects to all the students in charge!
Having made up his mind, Qin Lingzheng no longer felt so nervous.
He stared at the hemostatic bandage on the back of Bai Yuan's pale hand that had not yet been torn off, and asked with some concern:
"Isn't that great? How about you stay for two more days, in case your condition relapses? Pah! I mean multiple safeguards, so people can rest assured."
"No." Bai Yuan didn't look at him and just fiddled with the computer.
During the few days she stayed in the sanatorium, she always felt uncomfortable, as if something was suppressing her heart, as if she was holding her breath, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Besides, you know your own body best.
After sleeping for several days in a row, she almost had her day and night sleep reversed.
The disrupted biological clock also needs to be adjusted.
Otherwise, I always feel like it’s a waste of time sleeping.
The examinations at Hailan Private High School are for internal use within the school, so there are not as many students and examination papers to be graded as in the high school entrance examination.
The results will be out before 4 o'clock this afternoon, which will only take half an hour.
Even though she had an idea of what kind of score she could get, she still preferred to check her scores manually.
Therefore, on the premise that this little time is not a big deal, Bai Yuan decided to wait for the scores to come out and check the results before going back.
Taking advantage of this time, Bai Yuan logged into the official website again and looked through the admission information.
At first, Qin Lingzheng pulled a chair and sat on the side. Seeing that Bai Yuan was watching seriously, he curiously leaned over to watch together, and slowly moved his butt from the chair to the bed.
On the screen, Bai Yuan clicked on an article filled with text and read it. Qin Lingzheng only took a glance at it and felt a headache coming on.
His gaze also became erratic, moving from Bai Yuan's pale fingertips upwards inch by inch, until he finally stared at her profile, mesmerized.
The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, and the light shone on her body, as if she was covered with a layer of gold. The white curtains fluttered in the wind, and everything was incredibly peaceful and comfortable.
It does have a bit of the warmth and comfort that one only sees in novels.
As Qin Lingzheng was watching, he suddenly heard a loud noise in his ears. He startled and sat up straight in an instant. Then, he felt a dull pain in his forehead.
Only then did he realize that he had actually dozed off in such an atmosphere. He quickly raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, he did not drool, thus maintaining the image that he had been carefully maintaining.
Qin Lingzheng looked up at the wall clock again and saw that it was already 4:15. He yawned and asked:
"Are the results out? Did I pass the exam?"
There was no response for a long time, and there was no reaction from Bai Yuan.
Qin Lingzheng turned his head to look and found that she was half supporting her head with her hands and had fallen asleep with him.
With this movement, Bai Yuan's body lost balance, and her head tilted and rested lightly on his shoulder.
Qin Lingzheng's body stiffened and he dared not breathe. The warmth slowly spread from the place where their bodies were connected.
He didn't even need to get close to smell the faint scent of pine coming from the other person.
Qin Lingzheng sat like this for a while, not daring to disturb Bai Yuan's rest.
But he was worried that her illness would relapse, so he finally raised his hand, tremblingly lifted her bangs, touched Bai Yuan's forehead, felt the temperature with his palm, and tested whether she had a fever.
This was the first time Qin Lingzheng did this and he had no experience. He felt cold for a while, but then he felt a little hot again after covering himself for a while.
Just as she was struggling with all kinds of issues, she suddenly had an idea and recalled her childhood. Her ears turned slightly red and she leaned over to touch Bai Yuan's forehead.
I watched the scene continue to enlarge in front of my eyes, until I could even clearly see the other person's eyelashes.
At this moment, Qin Lingzheng felt as if his throat was blocked by something. His tight Adam's apple moved slightly, trying to relieve the discomfort.
The body became extremely stiff, as if being tightly bound by an invisible force.
At the same time, he carefully controlled his breathing, fearing that any noise would break this rare tranquility.
Then he moved forward slowly.
He placed his forehead lightly against Bai Yuan's forehead, and in a moment that was almost freezing, he slowly felt her temperature to determine if she was feeling unwell.
……
……
She didn't know how she left the ward or how she broke free from the entanglement of the evil spirits.
The corridor, which should have been filled with noisy sounds, seemed to have been drained of all the sounds and was exceptionally quiet at this moment.
There was also an unbearable tinnitus in my ears.
"If you don't look at the road when you walk, you will die!"
The scolding woke her up from her dream, and she came to her senses, realizing that she had accidentally bumped into someone.
It was at this moment that she felt the pain on the left side of her body after the collision.
She looked at the other person blankly, her eyes somewhat empty, her fingers tightly clenched on the whitened death report form, her throat was dry, like a rusty spring, and she couldn't utter a word of apology for a long time.
Seeing that she had no attitude of apologizing, the woman she bumped into wanted to scold her again, but she caught a glimpse of the list in her hand out of the corner of her eye.
For a moment, the words were stuck in his throat. Finally, he shook his head, did not pursue the matter any further, and walked away silently.
She took the list and went all the way to the department to complete the procedures for leaving the hospital and storing the body.
Seeing her holding the pen without moving for a long time, the staff on duty sighed and urged:
"The patient Zhang Yan has been confirmed dead. Please sign below and state your relationship with her so that we can handle the follow-up procedures for you."
She looked along the blank space where the other person's finger was pointing, a little stiffly.
There is a voice in my head that keeps repeating the same question.
——Who am I? Zhang Hao, or...
"…I personally exchanged your bracelet and bed with my niece, and also changed your life. Your last name should be Bai, and your original name is Bai Yuan…"
Why do my parents never like me? Every time they see me, they can't hide their disgust and hatred in their eyes.
Why is it that no matter how hard I try, they never even look at me?
Why are they so good to my younger brother, even taking care of my aunt's daughter, but always being cold and indifferent to me?
Why not let her study?
Why go to school and make a scene?
Why tear up her acceptance letter.
Why did they block and oppose her decision to leave the mountains at every turn?
Why……
……
These questions, like sharp thorns, pierced deeply into her long life, making her childhood full of pain and despair.
She originally thought it was the gender that was wrong.
Just because I am not the only son who can represent the bloodline inheritance in their eyes, I become a thorn in their eyes.
Even if the school waived her tuition fees due to her excellent grades, she would still be locked up at home. Not only was she not allowed to go to school, but she also had to give up her place to her younger brother who was inferior to her in every way.
Therefore, she tried her best to prove to everyone that even girls can be excellent in everything, no worse than boys, and can even do better than them.
But now, someone suddenly told her that all her efforts were useless from the beginning.
In fact, it is the identity that is wrong.
Bai Yuan.
All the injustice and prejudice I have suffered since childhood seem to have an answer because of this name.
It was also the first time that she understood the real reason for the hatred and jealousy in their eyes.
And her only relative, the only one who would treat her well...
the aunt who slipped her cookies after she had been hungry for two days;
When she got full marks on the test, her aunt secretly celebrated for her, patted her head, encouraged and praised her;
the aunt who gave her the dictionary she had always wanted as a gift on her birthday;
When she was sick, her aunt would carry her on foot through the rain and snow on mountain roads to the hospital;
The aunt who came to comfort her and hugged her when she was sad, and wiped the tears from her face;
When she was beaten, he would firmly protect her behind his back, shield her from the wind and rain, protect her, and argue for her against her father's tyranny and her mother's weakness;...
The one she had trusted and believed would always be by her side, caring for her and becoming her safe haven;
The one who used his tiny yet great love to warm her childhood bit by bit and illuminate her gray and bleak life;
The only person who had ever supported and encouraged her, brought her all the warmth and kindness in life, raised her, and was the one she vowed to repay with the rest of her life;
The person she thought brought her hope, allowing her to continue to live in a painful life and believe that the future would get better little by little -
At the same time, he was also the source of endless suffering, countless setbacks and unspeakable pain for her.
The reason why she did all this was simply because she felt guilty. She wanted to make up for the sins she had committed on her and seek some peace of mind and comfort in terms of morality and conscience.
Everything she believed in the past twenty years was overturned at this moment. The so-called facts and truth were revealing the darkest and cruelest side of life, peeling off the bloody flesh and showing her fangs and claws.
She felt as if there were two different voices in her body, raging like a storm, as if to tear her soul in two.
