Chapter 54 Just wait half a year, love will never come back
Chapter 54 Just wait half a year, love will never come back
In the quiet courtyard, Chen Anhe's systematic soliloquy could be heard.
"Do you really want to wait?"
"Wait, let's meet before leaving. I've already agreed to it."
"But your mission is over. The longer you stay in this world, the greater your body's rejection will be, and your life will be very painful."
"It's only half a year, it won't take too long."
The system was down for a while before he uttered his last words.
"She's not coming back."
Chen An shook his head, "It's okay."
"Just wait half a year, love will never come back."
……
……
After returning to living alone, Chen An's health deteriorated rapidly.
His occasional mild cough gradually became extremely severe.
The bones in his body were even more fragile, and he could not do any physical work. Apart from maintaining his hobby of sculpting, he gave up all non-essential daily activities.
In July of the same year, it was the second month after Luo Congan left.
Li Ye, who was far away in the capital, sent a letter.
He said hello to Chen An in the letter and described the grand occasion of the capital.
He also asked Chen An many questions about taxation, and frankly said that he would not give up his original idea.
Nowadays, his status in the officialdom has been steadily rising, but he still does not forget his original intention.
Finally, Li Ye also added that his wife gave birth to a big, fat boy for him, and he would definitely come to visit him if he had the opportunity in the future.
As for the questions Li Ye mentioned in the letter, Chen An did not hide his secrets and responded to them one by one.
Congratulations to him on the birth of his son.
The next days were dull day after day.
Chen An didn't realize there was anything wrong with being plain.
But when he gets up every day, the feeling of weakness and pain coming from all parts of his body will give Chen An a headache.
He did not see a doctor. This was because the world was rejecting him and it was beyond the scope of what humans could cure.
He often comforted himself that it was only half a year and it would be over if he gritted his teeth.
Oh no.
It's already July, and there are only five months left.
Although his body is getting poorer and weaker, fortunately, there are still no major problems in daily life.
In this lazy and almost open-minded mode, Chen An spent another five months.
And the New Year's Eve has arrived as scheduled.
Festive lanterns with colorful lights were hung everywhere on the street, and children wearing thick cotton-padded jackets were running around on the street, playing happily with their friends.
Chen An stood at the door of the other courtyard. Perhaps he was infected by the festive atmosphere, and he couldn't help but smile.
Even the craft work that I had to do every day was an exception today.
Not long after, a fat figure appeared at the end of the long street.
It's the Lord of Ma City.
He was smiling like a spring breeze.
Lord Ma came alone, without any entourage, and carrying an exquisite wooden box in his hand.
He looked a little surprised when he saw Chen An waiting at the door.
"Mr. Chen, could it be that you also know some magical skills?"
Chen An was stunned, "Why did you say that?"
"Otherwise, why would you expect me to visit today?"
Chen An looked a little weird. He cupped his hands and chose a high-EQ answer.
"City Lord Ma, you are so smart."
Lord Ma came and left quickly.
He exchanged greetings with Chen An and then returned to the city lord's mansion.
Chen An continued to guard the door.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, until a bright moon hangs on the horizon, its clear light shining brightly on people's eyebrows.
Chen An stood at the door for a day and a night. Finally, he couldn't bear the coldness and turned back to the yard.
He thought to himself, maybe there was something delayed?
Or is he under house arrest by his master and not allowed to go down the mountain?
At this time, the system sighed.
"It's fate, she won't come back."
Chen An was silent for a while, then waved his hand and said calmly: "I've been waiting for half a year, and it's not less than this year."
<divclass="contentadv">……
……
Chen An didn't expect this.
That is three full years.
Fortunately, although his body is weak, he can still take care of his own daily life independently and does not need to trouble others.
He picked up the craft of carving, and every day when he had nothing to do, he would lie on a bamboo chair in the small courtyard and carve wood carvings.
The wood carvings include crying, laughter, anger, ignorance, and anger.
But they all look like a certain girl.
Chen An sometimes couldn't help but wonder, if his system was that kind of proficiency system, how far could his carving skills reach now?
Chen An felt a little regretful that he couldn't see the experience bar.
He would often stare outside the door in a daze, wondering if his prophecy had truly come true and he had become the empty-nest man he said he was.
This repetitive life lasted until the fourth year.
One early morning, Chen An opened his eyes from the bed. As usual, he wanted to get up and wash up, but his body rolled uncontrollably to the ground.
The arm was in close contact with the ground, and the skin was scratched, causing bursts of heartbreaking pain.
But Chen An didn't rush to check the wound. Instead, he reached out and tapped his left leg.
Numbness, no feeling.
"Ah, I almost forgot that my body has always been rejected..."
Chen An said to himself, instead of feeling sad about losing a leg, he actually laughed.
He gave the system a thumbs up.
He knew that if the system hadn't taken action, he would have died quietly.
But now, the price of surviving for three more years is just an insignificant leg.
"Do you still want to persist?"
This time, Chen An didn't answer.
He dragged his numb legs, stood up bit by bit, and then tried to walk out the door.
The movements were a little unfamiliar, but fortunately I didn't fall.
Under the early morning sunshine, Chen An laughed.
"Don't tell me, this experience is really strange."
In my mind, a voice sounded again.
It was a tone of confusion that was completely incomprehensible.
"Don't you feel any pain?"
Chen An's lips trembled, and he bared his teeth and said angrily:
"I know it hurts, but you still have to remind me, right?"
The rejection from the world exists all the time. Even when sleeping, it feels like an invisible weight is pressing on his heart, making Chen An unable to breathe.
Fortunately, in the past four years, his nerves have grown countless times, and his ability to tolerate pain has been forced to evolve.
"I can send you on your way in advance to avoid unnecessary pain and go to the next world."
"Don't worry, it will be painless."
Hearing this, Chen An looked hesitant for the first time.
He limped along the wall and slowly reached the wing on the left.
There are a total of three wing rooms in the courtyard, two of which are used for people to live in. The remaining one is the utility room that Chen An cleaned up before.
He gritted his teeth and pushed open the door.
One after another, wood carvings come into view.
They fill every corner of the room, scattered on the floor or organized on shelves.
If others take a quick look at the wood carvings in this room, they will inevitably feel strange.
But Chen An doesn't.
After all, these wooden sculptures were the only ones that accompanied him in the past four years.
He walked into the house and started tidying up.
Clear out all useless clutter and shelves.
After doing this, he patted the dust on his body.
When I looked at the utility room again, I saw that the space that was once full was now mostly empty again.
Those wood carvings were all sorted into a corner.
It turns out that the reason the utility room seemed full was just because those shelves and useless items took up too much space.
Then Chen An thought.
When the room was filled with wood carvings, he left.
