Chapter 86: Chapter 86

That day, when she returned to the hotel, she sat in her room in a daze for a long time. The young man who coughed and wheezed, whose eyes lit up when mentioning his wife, who had said he would get better quickly to take care of her, had disappeared from this world...

When it got dark, she went down to find Su Ronggui, but he hadn’t returned yet. Not wanting to be alone, she waited for him at the door.

He had said if she behaved like Bangbangtang, he would come back and tell her about the interview content.

Although he was always fierce, he was true to his word.

There was a small sofa in the hallway, and when she got tired of standing, she curled up on it.

When Su Ronggui came back, he saw her as soon as he got out of the elevator. She was already small, and curling up on the sofa made her look even smaller. The instant she saw him, her eyes lit up exactly like Bangbangtang’s when he saw him—it was like seeing a relative.

He furrowed his brow. What had he done to make her have such a misconception? How could he possibly be her relative?

But even if he wanted to avoid it, he couldn’t. She had already run over to him, tilting her head to look at him with eyes so moist that they seemed about to shed golden tears.

He sighed quietly, maintaining his stern expression, "I told you to behave like Bangbangtang, and you really are like him?"

She stood in front of him, lowered her head, and bit her lip.

Something didn’t seem right.

"What’s wrong?" He imagined Bangbangtang running to him with such moist eyes and couldn’t bring himself to be harsh with her again.

"I don’t like these big interview assignments since I came to Chenjiang," she said, sniffing.

He opened the room door, "Come in and talk."

She followed him inside, looking at his broad back. That familiar feeling came back—she had waited so long just to tell him that today was really not a good day.

She sat on the sofa in his room. He pulled a chair and sat in front of her, "Where did you go today? What did you see?"

"He died..." Tu Hengsha held the empty cup on the small coffee table, "I don’t like seeing people die, especially not..."

"Who died?" He took the cup from her hand, intending to pour her some water, but realized there was no hot water in the room, so he gave up.

"Ge Zhuang! He vomited a lot of blood! When Ah Gua died last time, I was upset for a long time! I hate watching people die! In the face of sickness and life, people are so small and helpless. I almost watched them disappear with my eyes open, and I could do nothing! This feeling is no good..." She reached for the cup but held his hand that hadn’t yet withdrawn from it.

His hand stiffened, but he didn’t pull away. It was she who, realizing what happened, withdrew instead.

"Tu Hengsha," he withdrew his hand, sitting upright, "That’s why we must strive to save more people like Ge Zhuang from the same fate. Don’t say there’s nothing we can do. Our power is indeed limited, but even if it’s as faint as a firefly, we must burn this light to its fullest, so more people can see hope, there really is hope."

As Tu Hengsha listened, she seemed to see hope, though she still mourned Ge Zhuang’s passing.

"How have you been these days? You didn’t come back for three consecutive days last time. Was it going poorly?" she asked.

"Yeah, it wasn’t going well. Sun Yulin is always unavailable, finding all sorts of excuses not to accept interviews." He glanced at her, realizing she didn’t know who Sun Yulin was, "Sun Yulin is the president of Jinhai Mining Company, and brother-in-law of the Liuxia Village chief."
