Chapter 46 Yu Rou's Birthday 3
Yu Rou stared blankly at everything unfolding before her, completely at a loss. Suddenly, Qiu He hugged her tightly, uttering strange words that confused and bewildered her. To her even greater surprise, she noticed tears streaming down Qiu He's face.
"Qiuhe, what are you talking about? I didn't go anywhere, I'm right here. What's wrong with you?" Yu Rou tried to understand Qiuhe's words, but Qiuhe didn't explain the reason, he just hugged her tighter.
Qiuhe repeatedly begged Yurou not to leave him. Seeing him cry so bitterly, Yurou was filled with worry. Qiuhe was usually so calm and composed; she would never cry like this.
Not to mention crying like this, I had never seen Qiuhe cry before, and I had never seen a single tear on his face.
Something must have happened to Qiuhe, but she couldn't think about it right now. Yu Rou gently comforted him, hoping to calm him down.
Time passed slowly, and Yu Rou patiently comforted Qiu He until his emotions gradually stabilized. She gently said to Qiu He, "It's alright, it's alright, Qiu He, don't cry. I won't leave you. I once said we would be together forever, how could I possibly abandon you?"
Yu Rou gently wiped away the two tears on Qiu He's cheeks with her hands and gave him a light kiss on the face. However, Qiu He didn't understand why he had said those words or why he was worried about Yu Rou leaving him.
Just now, her behavior made it seem as if Yu Rou might disappear into thin air at any moment. Afraid that Qiu He would recall some painful memories, Yu Rou quickly changed the subject.
"It's already past 9 o'clock, Qiuhe. Can I see the surprise?" Qiuhe then nodded with a smile. Only then did Qiuhe realize that this seemed to be the first time she had ever smiled. She couldn't control her expressions before, and she had never smiled before.
Then he took Yu Rou's hand and guided her towards the prepared floor. Yu Rou's eyes were covered with a cloth so she couldn't see anything, so he led Qiu He forward.
"Qiuhe, are we there yet?" Qiuhe finally replied softly. "Yurou, don't worry, we're almost there." Yurou gave a soft "Mmm." Finally, the two arrived at the floor...
Qiuhe immediately removed Yu Rou's blindfold, and the surrounding children swarmed out. The girl who hadn't gotten the starry-colored ribbon before went and bought it again.
Yu Rou entered the room and was surprised to find it completely decorated. Colorful balloons hung from the ceiling, and starry ribbons adorned every nook and cranny of the walls.
The room was filled with a warm atmosphere. The most eye-catching thing was a large banner standing in the middle of the room, which read, "Happy Birthday, Yu Rou".
Yu Rou gasped for breath, incredulously covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes glistening with tears like a dazzling starry sky. At that moment, Qiu He, standing beside her, softly said, "Yu Rou, happy birthday!"
Then, he took out a delicate lily-of-the-valley wind chime from under the table. However, a hint of doubt arose in Qiuhe's heart, because he didn't remember buying such a gift. He had only bought a cake today; he didn't seem to have bought anything else.
Yu Rou accepted the wind chime, a happy smile spreading across her face. Qiu He suddenly realized that although he didn't know where the lily-of-the-valley wind chime came from, he knew Yu Rou loved lilies of the valley very much. In fact, there was a pot of fresh and beautiful lilies of the valley in his own room.
At that moment, the children in the room shouted in unison, "Happy Birthday!" Qiuhe smiled and slowly opened the birthday cake on the table. The cake had candles on it.
The flickering candlelight illuminated the children's joyful faces. Yu Rou also noticed the decorations on the cake, and her heart overflowed with love. She hugged Qiu He tightly, her eyes filled with emotion and happiness.
In this heartwarming moment, Qiuhe and the children in the room sang "Happy Birthday" together. Their voices echoed throughout the room, conveying endless warmth and blessings. "Yurou, make a wish!"
Yu Rou made a wish over the candle, and after blowing it out, the room was filled with applause from the children, who all took out their gifts.
Dolls, star stickers, teddy bears, crystal balls, and many other cute and exquisite little gifts—the children played in the room until after 2 p.m. After the party ended, Qiuhe carried Yurou to his room.
Yu Rou nestled quietly in Qiu He's arms. "Qiu He, today's birthday is the happiest day of my life," she said. Qiu He gently hummed in agreement, then added, "Every year on my birthday, I will make Yu Rou happy."
Qiuhe didn't know why, but he felt like he really had done it. He just knew that ever since he met Yu Rou, she had given him a wonderful birthday celebration every year.
But he has no recollection of it now. He has always doubted whether this body is truly his own. Why can he sometimes control it, and sometimes he has no control at all? He even has no idea about what the two of them went through.
Feeling like an outsider, on his way back to his room, Qiuhe suddenly glanced at a package in the nearby trash can. He noticed it looked like the same package the doctor had taken away.
Qiuhe didn't stop until he carried Yu Rou back to her room and placed her on the bed. Then he wanted to leave to check the packaging bag.
He had a premonition that the injection the doctor gave Yu Rou was something bad, but just as he was about to walk away, Yu Rou grabbed Qiu He's hand. "Qiu He, where are you going?"
Yu Rou stared quietly at Qiu He, her eyes filled with confusion. Qiu He then said softly, "I'm going out for a bit. Don't worry, Yu Rou, I'll be back soon to be with you." Yu Rou replied...
"Where is Qiuhe going? Can you not go? Stay with me, let's continue playing Minecraft," just like last time at the movie theater, the girl's words seemed to have a magical power.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiuhe felt reluctant to leave. He found it hard to move his feet. He wanted to stay and keep Yurou company, but then he said, "I'll go help Mother tidy up her room. It's so messy; she can't manage it by herself."
Qiuhe was immediately stunned, because she realized that she herself had said those words, the words she truly wanted to say. Yu Rou also felt strange; this was the first time he had ever heard Qiuhe say such things outside of telling him stories.
He spoke so fluently, but after hearing the reason, he still slowly hummed in agreement. Qiuhe then left the room, returning to the trash can and picking up the packaging bag from it.
He noticed something very strange written on the packaging bag. It was in English: ASTM 69, followed by a bunch of unintelligible text. Without hesitation, Qiuhe took out his phone and scanned the text.
Finally, relevant information popped up on Baidu. Qiuhe's eyes widened as he looked at the information. It clearly stated ASTM69, a therapeutic poison with the ability to kill various diseases and even prolong life.
However, the label also clearly stated that it was poison, and the bottom clearly stated that it would have extremely terrible side effects after use, advising users to think carefully before using it. Qiuhe was already sweating profusely as he watched this scene. He couldn't believe it; he was extremely shocked. The substance in that syringe was poison, but it was also a therapeutic poison.
He had no idea what a therapeutic poison was, or what its side effects were. Just as he was about to click on the article, the moment his finger touched the screen, the surroundings changed once again.
Qiuhe felt this familiar sensation and knew it had happened again. He looked around and found himself in Yu Rou's room, holding her in his arms. Yu Rou's sleeping face was as beautiful and captivating as ever.
Furthermore, Qiuhe noticed that both he and Yurou were holding phones, and the screens were displaying Minecraft. However, Qiuhe felt very strange; he had a feeling he had never experienced before, as if he had lost a piece of his memory.
He remembered that he suddenly returned when he saw the trash can, but he felt like he had forgotten something. He seemed to have seen something or something happened in front of that trash can, but he couldn't remember.
"Qiuhe," Qiuhe looked around instantly but saw nothing. He realized someone was calling him, and the voice seemed to be directly transmitted into his mind.
"Be good, don't go, be good, follow your body, stay with Yu Rou, listen to every word Yu Rou says, and enjoy this time together. It will be over soon."
