Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 519 Don't be afraid, I'm right beside you.

The second sister's wedding was lively and went smoothly. Lin Qingping's unreliable daughter, whom she had been worried about, did not cause any trouble. The little girl, whether she remembered her mother's words or was influenced by her older brother Wu Ruiheng, kept her face tense throughout the wedding, as if she were accomplishing something great.

When it came time for the final group photo, Lin Qingping asked her to smile, and she finally relaxed, revealing her tiny, chubby teeth. Then, pointing her little finger at Wu Ruiheng, her chubby face proudly turned to Lin Qingping, "Mommy, Zhuzhu, Bangbang, brother, say it!"

My brother said, "Zhuzhu is awesome."

It turns out that Wu Ruiheng had been encouraging his daughter all along...

Lin Qingping straightened her crooked little crown, smiled, and kissed her cheek. "Yes, our Zhuzhu is the best!"

The princess became even more proud.

Lin Qingping didn't plan to stay in the capital for long this time. Gu Juncheng didn't have that much time off, and she was still reluctant to give up her newly established aquaculture business. So, she planned to go back after her second sister's third-day homecoming.

She and her second sister were essentially without a maternal family, so as the older sister, she naturally had to fulfill all the responsibilities of a mother.

On the night her second sister returned home for her wedding, she prepared a large meal to entertain her sister and brother-in-law. Gu Youlian and Sister Zhao came to help, and even Zhiyuan helped wash the vegetables. Gu Juncheng was in charge of taking care of Zhangzhu.

The family enjoyed a harmonious meal together. Lin Qingping was especially happy because she had truly succeeded in pulling her second sister out of the mire, which was arguably the most worthwhile thing she had done since her rebirth.

My second sister and the others stayed until almost nine o'clock before leaving. Zhangzhu kept rubbing her eyes, she was so sleepy.

Lin Qingping escorted them to the outside of the courtyard and watched them leave by car. Even after the car was out of sight, she was still reluctant to part with them.

"Go inside. You can come back next year. By then, your second sister will probably have a baby too, and she can play with your daughter." Gu Youlian noticed her reluctance and tried to persuade her.

Lin Qingping smiled and nodded. For some reason, watching her second sister get into the car, she felt a great deal of reluctance, as if it were some kind of premonition...

Just as she turned around to go inside, that familiar feeling of dizziness and nausea returned.

She instinctively reached out and grabbed Gu Juncheng's arm.

She heard Gu Juncheng shout like thunder, "Lin Qingping!"

She wanted to answer, but she only opened her mouth and no sound came out before she was plunged into endless darkness.

She didn't know how long she was unconscious this time, but she woke up again in the hospital, which must have been much, much longer than the first time she fainted in the bathroom.

Actually, she had been feeling unwell ever since she first fainted. She had been feeling dizzy for the past few days and had fainted twice more when no one was around, but she woke up quickly each time.

She thought to herself, "Wait until my second sister's wedding is perfectly arranged, then I'll go to the hospital to check on her, and then I'll go back to the island."

She had already bought the tickets for the day after tomorrow, and was just waiting to go to the hospital after her second sister's homecoming. She figured two days would be enough, right? After the visit, she would get the medicine and go home.

Unexpectedly, she fainted in front of Gu Juncheng this time, and she also didn't expect that she would be unconscious for so long.

"Bottle?" Gu Youlian's soft voice called her name in her ear. "You're awake?"

Lin Qingping raised her eyelids and nodded.

Gu Youlian burst into tears immediately, "You're finally awake! You scared us to death! Are you feeling unwell? Would you like something to eat?"

Where can I find something to eat?

When Lin Qingping opened her eyes, she felt as if the entire ceiling was spinning, and her head was throbbing so badly that she quickly closed her eyes again.

She also heard Sister Zhao's voice outside, calling, "Doctor, doctor, the patient is awake! The patient in this ward is awake!"

Then, a flurry of footsteps sounded.

Gu Juncheng was among them.

Gu Juncheng was the first to reach her side; she sensed him as soon as he got close.

"Lin Qingping?" he called after her, then asked, "Didn't they say she was awake? Why hasn't she opened her eyes yet?"

This question was directed at Gu Youlian.

Gu Youlian hurriedly said, "She really did wake up just now."

“Gu Juncheng…” Lin Qingping spoke, reaching out her hand in his direction.

Her hand was grabbed instantly. Gu Juncheng held her hand, his voice trying to be calm, but you could still hear the anxiety in his voice, "I'm here, what's wrong? Can you see me?"

Lin Qingping nodded, indicating that she could see it.

"Do you feel dizzy and uncomfortable when you open your eyes?" the doctor asked her.

“Yes…” she nodded again.

Then the doctor asked her some questions. When Gu Juncheng heard her say that this had been going on for a long time, even before she came to the capital, his hand holding hers tightened involuntarily. When he heard that she had fainted several times before, his whole face changed.

After the doctor left, Gu Youlian couldn't help but sigh, "Pingzi, you always have such a smiling face, who knew... why didn't you tell us?"

Lin Qingping smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry, I'm just tired."

"You're trying to comfort me!" Gu Youlian suddenly exclaimed. "Yes! It's nothing! I'm just too tired! I'll be fine after a rest! This time, stay in the capital for a while longer, let me take care of you. Don't go back to the island with him for now. He's a roughneck, how could he have time to take care of you!"

“Okay…” Lin Qingping answered softly, feeling that Gu Youlian’s words, “It’s okay, I’m just too tired,” seemed to be spoken to her, yet also to Gu Youlian herself.

But Lin Qingping had a vague premonition that something was wrong...

She pinched Gu Juncheng's fingers, "You're here, but where's Zhangzhu? Where is Zhangzhu?"

“At home, Zhiyuan is playing with him, and Meili is also playing with Xiao Xiaowu.” He always forgets Wu Ruiheng’s name and calls him Xiao Xiaowu instead.

Lin Qingping knew that he actually didn't want to remember it; it was all because of that brat...

Lin Qingping suddenly felt a little sad, wondering if she would ever see Zhangzhu grow up, and which brat would eventually hold Zhangzhu's hand...

"You can all go back now, I'm fine." She tried to move around, and her movements were still free.

Hospitals really can't have too many people around. Too many people just walking around in front of patients can annoy them.

Gu Juncheng told Gu Youlian and Sister Zhao to go back, while he would stay here to take care of her.

“Go back,” Lin Qingping said. “What will happen to Zhangzhu if you stay here? Zhangzhu can’t live without you; she needs you to coax her to sleep.”

"Zhiyuan can sing and play the flute too, so don't worry about him too much right now. Just get some rest." No one could persuade Gu Juncheng of his decision.

In the end, Gu Youlian and Sister Zhao went back.

Only he and she remained.

He gently brushed the stray hairs from her face and said, "Tell me what you want to eat or what you want to do."

Lin Qingping didn't want to; she just felt extremely tired. "I want to sleep for a while."

His hand, which had been hovering near her ear, paused for a moment, but only for a second, before he whispered, "Okay, then take a nap. Don't be afraid, I'm right here beside you."

"Mmm," Lin Qingping replied softly with her eyes closed.

But she wasn't actually asleep.

After a while, a nurse came to call him and asked his family to go to the doctor's office.

After he answered "okay," he called her again, "Lin Qingping? Are you asleep?"

She didn't respond.

He then got up and left.

Lin Qingping slowly opened her eyes. Everything in front of her was still swaying, but she forced herself to sit up.

Thankfully, I was just dizzy; I didn't feel dizzy or nauseous.

She then used the support of something to slowly get out of bed, slowly moved to the wall, and then, holding onto the wall, left the ward, slowly walking forward while still holding onto something.

He walked all the way to the doctor's office and heard the doctor talking to him.
