All the male leads began to search for the best medical resources in the country for Li Jing, eager to put everything in her hands, just as they had treated Ye Yan before.
However—
Li Jing refused all treatment.
This almost drove the male leads crazy.
That night, she didn’t jump from the top floor of the hospital, but she had completely lost the will to live.
The door that was always closed, like her completely sealed heart, would never let anyone get close again.
And Li Jing herself was very satisfied with the final form of this persona!
From the self-effacing, stubborn, sensitive little white flower, to the swaying, self-abandoning, broken pot, to the decadent beauty after despair, to now—a super-strong attack form with thorns all over.
She would casually scold and beat the high-and-mighty male leads, completely at her whim, and they would still accept it with a smile.
After all, wasn’t the joy of a crematorium just this type of thing!!
“—Li Jing,” Fu Lingchu’s eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep, his voice low and hoarse, “You’re still young, don’t be reckless.”
The man, in his suit and tie, exuded an air of nobility, but he was barred from the doorway of the hospital bed—because if he took another step forward, Li Jing would throw all sorts of things at him.
He already had several injuries on his body. It could be said that Fu Lingchu, the golden boy, had never been so embarrassed since he was born, but he couldn’t care about himself right now.
After that critical notice arrived, every second of Li Jing’s life became a countdown.
“Stop pretending,” Li Jing said indifferently.
Fu Lingchu didn’t know what method he could use to take out his heart and show it to her, to tell her that he only had true love left.
“I know you don’t want to accept my help, but don’t play with your life,” Fu Lingchu’s voice was very low, so low that it was unclear who he was trying to persuade: “…With the most advanced medical technology today, you won’t die.”
Definitely won’t.carpreads.pages.dev
“—Don’t use your dirty money for my consideration,” Li Jing finally looked at him, but in that look there was only bone-chilling coldness, “I don’t want to see you for the rest of my life.”
The veins on the back of Fu Lingchu’s hand bulged, and he finally lowered his eyes.
This was not the first time he had been hurt by her words and unable to maintain his expression.
Li Jing gave a cold smile: “What? Can’t keep up the act anymore?”
Fu Lingchu wanted to say that he wasn’t acting.
He knew that no one could remain calm after being repeatedly struck by fate, so the more Li Jing was covered in thorns, the more he felt sorry for her.
Fu Lingchu raised his head again, having managed all his emotions, and said softly: “Li Jing, you’re just saying that out of anger, I know.”
Li Jing: Laughing to death.
Unexpectedly, the male lead, who was set up to be incredibly superior in the old-fashioned novel, could also say such a line as “Little girl, you’re just saying that out of anger, I don’t believe you.”
However, she didn’t respond to Fu Lingchu’s words at all, as if he were a dead man in front of her.
Li Jing was calm and composed, as steady as a mountain.
After all, with the current favorability rating of 95% or so for everyone, she didn’t even need to do anything, just lie here and wait to die, and that would be enough to drive the male leads crazy and then pull the love line up to 99%——100%.
This mission was too enjoyable ^_^
Fu Lingchu could feel her lack of cooperation.
Every second that passed was detrimental to Li Jing’s health, and Fu Lingchu was so anxious that he couldn’t work, and even wanted to inject her with sleeping pills and then take her directly for chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
However, he couldn’t.
He dared not force Li Jing anymore.
And if he made any move, the other two men who were watching closely wouldn’t let him get away with it, and the three forces would fight directly.
Fu Lingchu leaned against the door frame of her ward, never feeling so difficult.
Unlike Fu Lingchu, Feng Ce didn’t dare to approach Li Jing.
Although he had already contacted the best hospitals and doctors in this field, although he watched Li Jing every day like a wolf cub, ready to pounce if Fu Lingchu and Du Jinghuai, those two old geezers, did anything wrong—but he didn’t dare to speak to Li Jing.
He was afraid.
Afraid of being hurt by her mockery and unable to continue, afraid of the cold light in her eyes stinging him to the point where he couldn’t hold on.
However, Li Jing, completely closed off in her own world and refusing treatment, only had her days of survival decline.
Feng Ce watched her from afar, wanting to cry.
Du Jinghuai, on the other hand, would bring fresh bouquets of flowers to the ward every day and sit by the bed with Li Jing.
Perhaps because of his cool and peaceful temperament, Li Jing didn’t throw him out, but she never spoke to Du Jinghuai either.
Until this day, as Du Jinghuai was about to leave, the girl who had been silent for a long time lowered her head and sighed softly.
Du Jinghuai’s body immediately stiffened, his gaze falling on Li Jing.
“If I die, scatter me into the sea,” Li Jing turned her head, finally speaking to Du Jinghuai, “I haven’t seen it, I really want to see it.”
Du Jinghuai pursed his thin lips, his heart felt like it was being squeezed hard, a dull pain starting to spread.
Her short life, poor yet great, she hadn’t even left this city.
The bustling world, material enjoyment, Li Jing had never experienced.
“It won’t happen,” Du Jinghuai closed his eyes, then opened them again, “Li Jing, you won’t die.”
Li Jing, however, closed her eyes and said nothing more.
At her feet, was a strand of hair that had fallen to the ground.
Like the prelude to the decline of life.
Du Jinghuai saw it, almost shedding tears.
After the male leads left, heartbroken, Li Jing lay down contentedly.
“How does it feel?” she asked the system.
The system was in awe of her professional skills: “All of them are deeply entangled, you can say that!”
In front of the host, all the male leads could only be abused.
Li Jing looked down at her feet, that hair was something she had painstakingly swept out, it looked quite convincing.
As long as she lay around and didn’t treat her illness, the male leads would become increasingly crazy.
Then the next part would be the White Moonlight being driven to madness!
In the original plot, the male leads eventually used Ye Yan as Li Jing’s blood bag to treat her illness. This would directly lead to Ye Yan’s complete mental breakdown and then launch a fierce attack on the original owner.
This way, Li Jing could smoothly advance to the final plot point ^_^
Hurry up, hurry up!!
The silver-haired hottie is waiting for her on the beach by the sea—
-—–
After Fu Lingchu found out that Ye Yan didn’t need a blood transfusion at all, Feng Ce and Du Jinghuai also learned about it.
Ye Yan’s healthy physical examination results formed a stark contrast to Li Jing’s deteriorating condition.
How ironic fate was.
The one who drew blood to save Ye Yan, and even established a foundation to save more girls in similar situations, would die from various blood complications.
Li Jing’s character seemed exceptionally brilliant at this moment.
Ye Yan knew that the current situation was very unfavorable to her.
Without her realizing it, Li Jing had actually set up a complete framework, leading all the men down a dead end of admiration, guilt, and pity for her!
She was only belatedly realizing how unfathomable this woman was.
But she hadn’t lost yet!
Fu Lingchu, that fish, had already been lost, Ye Yan couldn’t stay in bed and play the role of the sickly beauty anymore.
So when Feng Ce stepped into the hospital again, he met Ye Yan, her figure thin and frail, at the entrance.
She was no longer as exquisite as before, down to her hair, with a gentle and beautiful aura, but instead, a clear sadness emanated from her eyes and brows.
“A’ce,” she called out.
Feng Ce stopped in his tracks.
“I know, you blame me,” Ye Yan looked at him sadly, “But A’ce, why am I afraid of Li Jing’s existence, just like why I stayed by your side all those years… Don’t you know the reason?”
This was Ye Yan’s rhetoric, very cleverly switching concepts, merging two things into one, subtly playing the emotional card on Feng Ce.
Feng Ce looked at Ye Yan’s face, and for some reason, he remembered a long time ago—
He had told himself in his heart, why couldn’t he have both? The distant sister and the nearby Li Jing, he, the great Young Master Feng, could have them both.
Now he finally understood, he was wrong.
But it was too late.
“Sister—no, Ye Yan.”
Feng Ce had already retracted that once joyful address, the young man’s eyes were now filled with coldness.
“You, take care of yourself.”
Ye Yan trembled all over. What could be more devastating than her former lickspittle turning around and looking down on her?
Out of all these men, Feng Ce should have been the most foolish and easiest to control. But now, she couldn’t even hold onto Feng Ce?
Her expression was difficult to maintain. When she stumbled into Du Jinghuai, she clearly saw the complexity in his eyes.
There were all sorts of emotions, but the tenderness and pity for her were gone.
“A’huai, your movie… is our shared creation!” Ye Yan cried, “I’m the one who wants you to succeed the most. I even helped you secure overseas copyrights…”
But as Du Jinghuai looked at Ye Yan, who was crying like a heartbroken woman, he could only recall the tear that had fallen onto his hand that day when Li Jing accompanied him to watch the premiere.
“Ye Yan,” Du Jinghuai said, “I’ve already done everything I could for you.”
Now, he owed it to Li Jing.
All three fish had slipped away.
Ye Yan was left alone in front of the hospital building.
She couldn’t recover from the shock on her face for hours.
For someone like her, who had been pampered and considered maintaining relationships with the most superior men as her career, this was practically a declaration of her major failure. But in this moment of utter collapse, Ye Yan forced herself to calm down.
She couldn’t lose. She hadn’t lost yet!
She was Ye Yan! How could she possibly lose to Li Jing, that fake?!
Ye Yan re-examined the relationships she had cultivated over the years. Even if Fu Lingchu, Feng Ce, and Du Jinghuai, her three most profitable stocks, were temporarily suspended, she still had connections with high-quality men abroad. And domestically… she could continue to expand!
With her looks and emotional intelligence, how could she possibly fail to secure any man?
Yes, that’s right.
As Ye Yan thought this, she looked up and happened to see an extremely handsome face.
The man’s features were as perfect as a sculpture. He was tall and imposing in his white coat, and his aura reminded one of snow-covered mountains, clear and distant.
At first glance, he was even more superior than Fu Lingchu, Feng Ce, and Du Jinghuai.
Ye Yan immediately felt that this was a sign from God, confirming her thoughts.
There were still many high-quality men in the world waiting for her.
So, Ye Yan gracefully adjusted her hair, pretending to be casual as she brushed past the man, and exclaimed in surprise, “Oh, excuse me, are you a doctor here?”
The man politely stopped and replied, “I’m the attending physician on the 16th floor.”
Ah—the 16th floor, could he be Li Jing’s fish?
Ye Yan felt a surge of displeasure. By now, she no longer considered Li Jing an ordinary student. This woman must have had deep cunning to make her lose so badly.
However… a charming smile suddenly curved Ye Yan’s lips.
Yes, how could she lose?
It was Li Jing who had the terminal illness now. It was Li Jing who was going to die!
Li Jing had gone to great lengths, only to end up with a terminal illness, her efforts all in vain. But she had a healthy body. After that bitch died, she would eventually replace her, winning the hearts of all the men!
Just like—the doctor in front of her, who was excessively handsome.
Since he liked Li Jing’s face, there was no reason why he wouldn’t be interested in her.
“Doctor, are you sure you haven’t mistaken me for someone else?” Ye Yan covered her mouth, allowing her charm to fully radiate, “I look a lot like Li Jing, the patient on the 16th floor.”
Her voice was sweet and playful, even her eyes held a hint of allure. No man could resist this.
“No, I haven’t mistaken you,” the doctor said calmly, “—you two are very different.”
A glimmer of light appeared in Ye Yan’s eyes. At this moment, she finally regained her confidence. After all, Li Jing was now a terminal patient, and she refused treatment, so she would only become more haggard. But she was healthy and beautiful!
Ye Yan raised her chin, a captivating curve forming on her lips. Then she heard the man speak again.
“—You don’t have a single thing that can compare to her.” Lu Mian said.
The smile on Ye Yan’s face froze instantly.
Then, under Lu Mian’s gaze, which seemed to be looking at trash, it shattered piece by piece.
As he turned away without hesitation, Ye Yan felt as if her already battered palace was completely demolished.
Why?
Why?!
Could it be that all the other men in the world would be taken by that fake?!
But she was the one everyone desired!
Why hasn’t Li Jing died yet? Li Jing, go die!!
