Jian Yunmo did not directly answer Jian Yiling’s question. Instead, he replied: “Yiling, I will inform our mother and father. They all miss you.”

“What’s wrong with A Sheng?” Jian Yiling asked. She insisted on knowing how Zhai Yunsheng was doing.

Regardless of his condition, she had to know.

As Jian Yunmo could not avoid the question, he decided to tell Jian Yiling the truth.

After Jian Yiling disappeared, Zhai Yunsheng continuously fell ill. He essentially never left the intensive care unit.

After a while, his condition somewhat became better. However, he did not eat any food.

For these two years, he laid inside the ward that the Zhai family prepared for him. His entire body became skin and bones. It was as though he only had one breath remaining.

And thus, the doctors told all of them, even if they found Jian Yiling, it was important to not tell Zhai Yunsheng. His physical condition would not be able to handle such fluctuations in emotions.

Currently, the Zhai family cut off all of Zhai Yunsheng’s connections. They were worried about him hearing bad news and reacting poorly.

After Jian Yunmo finished speaking, Jian Yiling did not say a single word.

Jian Yunmo knew that his sister was definitely very upset.

“Yiling, no matter what happened in these two years, as long as you’re back, as long as you’re alive, it’s our greatest blessing. When we pick you up tomorrow, we will bring you to Beijing. Then, we can solve this problem together. Everything will be alright, as long as you’re there.”

As long as she was there, hope would exist.

Jian Yiling’s expression was sad as she thought about Zhai Yunsheng.

However, worrying could not help her. She had to wait for her brother to pick her up. This was the fastest way to get back to Beijing.

As Dr. Zhang finished her duties for the day, she locked up the village medical center and took Jian Yiling to the hospital.

Dr. Zhang had a seventy thousand dollar car. She let Jian Yiling take the back seat.

Jian Yiling wore a pair of earphones and kept in touch with Jian Yunmo.

On the other hand, Jin Jin took the passenger seat. The three of them headed to town together:

On the way there, Zhang Yun and Jin Jin chatted quietly:

Zhang Yun said to Jin Jin: “Jin Jin, I will take her to get an X-ray. You should get a new phone.”

Jin Jin told Zhang Yun what had happened earlier.

Zhang Yun advised Jin Jin to contact the police. However, as Jin Jin still cared about her brother, she decided to let go of this matter this time around.

“Okay, I will come back after I buy a phone,” Jin Jin said. She was just going to buy any phone in the eight to nine hundred price range.

Zhang Yun turned on the car stereo.

She played her favorite piece by a young pianist.

Although the song was beautiful and heartfelt, it somehow felt sad.

“You really like this pianist,” Jin Jin commented. Every single time she rode in Zhang Yun’s car, she would always hear music from this pianist.

“His music is very nice. All the songs that he has composed are quite sad,” Zhang Yun replied. “When I was about to graduate, his songs felt particularly emotional.”

“Particularly emotional? Do you mean super sad? Somehow, each piece is sadder than the last one. Was he suffering a breakup when he was composing these pieces?”

“I don’t know. He did mention that he lost a very important person to him. However, he never specified who that person was,” Zhang Yun said. “Honestly, that doesn’t matter. I just like his music. It’s very unique.”

“I will definitely gift you one of his CDs on your next birthday then.”
