Chapter 207: Excited Cuicui
A few days later, Qi Tongwei came to the hospital to visit Zhang Long again.
Zhang Long's complexion seemed to be better, but his eyes were still dull.
Qi Tongwei sat by the bed and asked, "Old Zhang, have you figured it out?"
Zhang Long shook his head slightly and sighed helplessly: "Tongwei, I still haven't figured it out. I still can't let go of Cuicui in my heart."
After saying that, he looked up at the ceiling again, tears welling up in his eyes again.
These days, Zhang Longcha had no appetite and lost a lot of weight.
His eyes were red from crying, and his face was covered with snot and tears. He looked so pitiful.
Qi Tongwei looked at his grief-stricken expression and was speechless for a moment.
After a long while, he finally said, "Lao Zhang, why are you doing this? You torture yourself like this for an impossible person."
Zhang Long sobbed and said, "Tongwei, you don't understand. I love Cuicui just like I loved her mother. That feeling goes deep into my bones. I really can't control myself."
Qi Tongwei frowned: "Lao Zhang, even if you love her, if she doesn't want to be with you, there's nothing you can do about it. You can't keep being depressed like this."
Zhang Long choked up and said, "I know, but I just feel sad. When I think about never seeing Cuicui again, my heart feels like it's being cut by a knife."
Qi Tongwei stood up and paced back and forth in the ward, thinking to himself that he could not let Zhang Long go on like this.
He stopped, looked at Zhang Long and said, "Old Zhang, why don't I go talk to Cuicui and see if I can make her change her mind."
When Zhang Long heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, but it soon dimmed again: "Forget it, Tongwei, don't embarrass Cuicui. This is my own business."
Qi Tongwei said firmly: "Lao Zhang, don't worry about it. I will give it a try. I can't just watch you starve to death without eating or drinking."
After leaving the hospital, Qi Tongwei was in a heavy mood.
As he walked, he thought about how to tell Cuicui about this.
The next day, Qi Tongwei found Cuicui. Cuicui saw him and looked puzzled: "Brother Qi, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and said, "Cui Cui, I'll be frank with you.
Zhang Long is now in the hospital, not eating or drinking, because of you. He is almost collapsing."
Cuicui frowned: "Brother Qi, I have already told him clearly that it is impossible for me to like him."
Qi Tongwei said: "Cuicui, I know what you think, but Zhang Long's feelings for you are real. He is like a possessed man. Can you reconsider it?"
Cuicui shook her head firmly: "Brother Qi, this is really not possible. I only respect him, not any romantic feelings for him."
Qi Tongwei sighed helplessly: "Cuicui, can you go to the hospital to see him and persuade him to stop torturing himself like this?"
Cuicui's eyes became more determined, and she said without hesitation: "Brother Qi, I will never go. I am nearly twenty years younger than Zhang Long, how could I have any emotional entanglement with him? If you ask me to go see him, won't it give him hope and make him more reluctant to let go? I should let him completely stop thinking about it and stop thinking about it."
After listening to Cuicui's words, Qi Tongwei felt that there was some truth in it.
But when she thought of Zhang Long not eating or drinking in the hospital, looking like he was dying, she couldn't help but say, "Cuicui, Zhang Long is in this state now. If he continues like this, he will really starve to death. Are you really that cruel?"
Cuicui snorted softly: "Can you blame me for this? He is the one who is stubborn and refuses to change his ways. Brother Qi, I don't think we should give him any chance to fantasize."
At this moment, Cuicui suddenly changed the subject, looked at Qi Tongwei with affection, and said, "Brother Qi, actually the person I have always liked is you."
Qi Tongwei was startled and quickly waved his hands and said, "Cuicui, don't talk nonsense. I have a family and children. I am different from Zhang Long. He is shameless and wants to do these things even though he has a wife and children. I am a person with moral sense and cannot do anything that will let my family down."
Cuicui didn't care, she stepped forward and grabbed Qi Tongwei's hand, and said anxiously: "Brother Qi, I don't care, I just like you. What your wife can give you, I can give you too, and I am younger and prettier than her."
Qi Tongwei's face changed drastically. He struggled to break free from Cuicui's hand, turned around and ran away.
Cuicui chased after him closely, shouting as she ran: "Brother Qi, don't run, listen to me."
Qi Tongwei was shocked and annoyed. He never expected such a situation to occur.
As he ran, he turned back and shouted, "Cui Cui, stop chasing me. This is impossible!"
Cuicui refused to give in and refused to stop even though she was running out of breath.
Qi Tongwei ran all the way until he ran into an alley and hid in a corner.
Cuicui chased after him, looked around, and didn't see Qi Tongwei, so she stomped her feet in anger.
Qi Tongwei waited until Cuicui left before he walked out cautiously, patting his chest with lingering fear.
He didn't expect things to turn out like this. He originally wanted to persuade Zhang Long, but ended up being entangled by Cuicui.
As for Qi Tongwei, he had just calmed down.
But at some point, Cuicui appeared behind him, hugged him, and said in a tearful voice: "Brother Qi, I really love you. From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were the man I wanted in my life. For so long, all I thought about was you. Your every smile and every move made my heart beat fast. I know you have a family, but I don't care. I am willing to wait. As long as I can be with you, you will let me do anything."
Qi Tongwei's body stiffened, but he didn't move. He was so shocked by Cuicui's sudden action that he didn't know what to do.
Cuicui was crying like a pear blossom in the rain at this moment, and continued: "Brother Qi, I dream about you every night, and I can't help thinking of you during the day. I know that I am very selfish, but love is so uncontrollable. I don't want to hide my feelings anymore. I want to tell you that I love you, madly."
After hearing these words, Qi Tongwei felt like he was struck by lightning. He tried to break free from Cuicui's embrace and said, "Cuicui, don't do this. This is wrong. I can't let my family down. I don't have such feelings for you."
Cuicui hugged him tighter and cried, "Brother Qi, why can't you accept me? I am younger than your wife, and I can give you more happiness and companionship."
Qi Tongwei's face flushed, and he said loudly: "Cuicui, wake up! I can't abandon my family and be with you. This is not allowed by morality and responsibility."
However, Cuicui didn't listen at all. She hugged Qi Tongwei tightly, as if he would disappear if she let go.
