Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 382 Confession of the Heart
When Ke Peng heard someone calling him from behind, he didn't think much about it. After all, more than ten years had passed and the other person had passed away.

But when he turned around, he was stunned.

What did he see? This familiar figure was so familiar that even though more than ten years had passed, he had never forgotten it.

"Gu Jingyi?" Ke Peng said in disbelief.

"What? Don't you recognize me?"

Gu Jingyi smiled before she spoke, with tears in her eyes. She had been looking forward to this moment for who knows how long. She knew it was impossible, but she couldn't help fantasizing about it. She never thought that one day it would come true.

"No...no...I I..." He looked panicked.

Then he took two steps at a time and directly jumped onto the bicycle next to him. He pedaled a bit and found that he could actually ride it. He rode the bike directly and ran backwards at a very fast speed without even having time to turn the front of the bike.

Shen Siyuan: ...

What kind of operation was this? He had seen many scenes of recognition, but this was the first time he had seen such a scene.

But Gu Jingyi smiled, and then said confidently: "He will be back soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ke Peng had already ridden the bike back, crying as he rode, and then rode straight to Gu Jingyi.

Gu Jingyi had been standing there quietly waiting for him, watching him riding over breathlessly, watching him park his bike in front of her in a panic, watching him stammering as he tried to explain...

"I...I didn't mean to abandon you. I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

Ke Peng fell to his knees and begged for Gu Jingyi's forgiveness.
-
"Ke Peng, the hospital is asking for payment again. We need to pay 50,000 yuan. I have 30,000 yuan. Can you find a way to raise another 20,000 yuan?"

Father Gu's eyes were bloodshot and he seemed a little dazed. He stared at Ke Peng and seemed a little crazy.

However, Ke Peng understood why he was like this. His beloved daughter was lying in bed, skinny as a stick, but he could not come up with more money. At this moment, he was suffering unimaginable pain and torment.

"I...I understand. I'll call home and ask..." Ke Peng wasn't much better. He had a messy hair and looked very haggard.

Ke Peng, 25 years old this year, just graduated from university three years ago. He only earns two to three thousand yuan a month. How can he afford to pay for his girlfriend's medical treatment? He has to borrow all the money from friends and ask for money from his family.
-
"Mom~"

"No money, son, I tell you, cancer is incurable. You'd better break up with her as soon as possible. It will drag you down..."

"Uncle~"

"Xiaopeng, your uncle's family is also in financial difficulty and has a lot of expenses. You are not a child anymore and should be sensible. It is not easy for your parents to earn a living. Don't put your whole life on this. You have done your best..."

"No, uncle, I will pay it back."

"What are you going to pay back? This is a bottomless pit, and it can't be cured. All your money will be wasted, and your whole life will be ruined. If you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider your parents..."

"Uncle, I understand."

"Oh, I'm dead..."

"Auntie~"

"Xiao Peng, Auntie is really out of money, and we have to make a living, you..."

"Thank you, Auntie. I'm hanging up now."

"Third uncle~"

……

"A Tao~"

……

"Mingyu~"

……

After going around, Ke Peng only borrowed more than 2,000 yuan. Standing at the door of the hospital, Ke Peng was confused.

"Did you get the money?" A voice behind him interrupted Ke Peng's thoughts.

It was Gu Jingyi's father, who looked at him expectantly. Ke Peng sighed, shook his head and said, "I borrowed a lot, but I only have over 2,000 yuan."

"How can this be enough? Go and try again. Have you asked your rich classmate to borrow money? Hasn't he already lent you hundreds of thousands of yuan? His family is rich. You can borrow some more from him..."

But Ke Peng didn't think so. He thought that his classmate had already done the most kind thing by lending him more than 100,000 yuan when he only earned 2,000 to 3,000 yuan a month, and he couldn't ask for more.

But Father Gu didn't think so. For the sake of his daughter, he would grab at any glimmer of hope.

Ke Peng's attitude made Gu's father angry. "Is face really that important? It's not like we won't pay it back. His family is so rich, what's the harm in taking some more? Aren't you friends? We can earn money slowly, but Jingyi's life is gone for real..."

Father Gu grabbed Ke Peng by the collar and looked a little crazy.

"I know...Uncle...I know..."

At this time, Ke Peng's heart was in a mess. Panic, confusion and sadness completely overwhelmed him.

"Hurry up and call your classmates to borrow it. I'll go see Jingyi." Only then did Father Gu let go of his hand with satisfaction.

Watching Father Gu’s back as he entered the hospital, the words of his family and friends echoed in his mind again.

"She'll drag you down..."

"If you can't cure it, it's all in vain..."

"All your money is gone, what can you use to pay back..."

……

Ke Peng's heart wavered. He turned and ran, fleeing from here, fleeing from the hospital, and disappearing without a trace...

He escaped on the 12th, and on the 18th, Gu Jingyi died in the hospital bed.

Ke Peng's men escaped, but his heart was trapped in that day and could never get out.

Later, Ke Peng got married and had children.

But the guilt he felt towards Gu Jingyi was eating away at his heart day by day.

He felt sorry for both Gu Jingyi and his wife.

Since Gu Jingyi's death, he has never been to her house again, nor has he seen her father again.

But every November 18th, he would go to Huangchunling Cemetery.

Not to worship, just to take a look, take a look...
-
"Okay, stop crying. I have never blamed you. You have fulfilled your responsibilities and done what you should do. You have even done more than others. There is no need to feel guilty..."

Gu Jingyi reached out and touched Ke Peng's head, feeling filled with emotion.

The two were college classmates and had been together since their junior year. They had always had a good relationship. If she hadn't suddenly fallen ill, they would have probably been married and had their own children.

"sorry Sorry……"

Ke Peng grabbed one of Gu Jingyi's hands, buried his head in her palm, and cried bitterly, full of regret.

Gu Jingyi did not comfort him any more. She just stretched out her other hand and stroked Ke Peng's hair and cheek carefully...

This real touch filled her with nostalgia. The most common sense of touch for humans made her find a sense of existence.

Ke Peng actually didn't know what he was repenting for. In fact, he had done enough back then and had done his best.

Maybe he was just regretting that he was not by Gu Jingyi's side when she died.

Maybe he was just confessing to his own heart.

Until the sound of sirens woke Ke Peng up.

He stood up in a panic and said to Shen Siyuan and Gu Jingyi nervously: "I just called the police."

Shen Siyuan: ...
