Chapter 43: Do You Think There Is A Soul In This World? (2)

Ye Sui sighed from the side: “Mr. Sun, do you remember Chen Yue?”

Hearing the name Chen Yue, Sun Jianguo slowly opened his eyes. He could no longer remember how many years it had been since he last heard the name.

Sun Jianguo looked at Ye Sui and eagerly asked, “Is she okay? Where is she now?”

Ye Sui: “Will you believe what I say?”

Sun Jianguo’s expression was very indifferent: “At my age, what haven’t I experienced?” His life was about to end soon, and the only regret he had was that he couldn’t see Chen Yue again.

Sun Jianguo raised his trembling hand and touched the air in front. He felt it carefully but only caught nothingness. He asked softly, “Is it you?”

Chen Yue had always wanted to see Sun Jianguo, but at this time, she was a little timid. She hid behind Ye Sui and didn’t go over.

Ye Sui looked at her and said, “Go ahead. Don’t you always want to see him?”

Chen Yue stepped forward and walked towards Sun Jianguo. Reaching the bed, she lowered her head. She died because of famine; her face was impoverished, and she was skinny. She didn’t want him to see her like this.

Maybe because Sun Jianguo was dying, he could see ghosts. He saw a vague shadow coming towards him, with a face he couldn’t ever forget.

Since Chen Yue had become a ghost, she would aimlessly float around in the world. But her heart was always thinking of seeing Sun Jianguo again. Although he had grown old, he never gave up looking for Chen Yue.

The two of them had been searching for each other all their lives. After spending so much time, and even between insurmountable life and death, they still missed each other.

Today, they finally met. Standing in front of him, even though she was still young, he was over seventy years old.

Chen Yue lowered her head, avoiding the sight of Sun Jianguo: “I’m not pretty anymore.”

Sun Jianguo stared at Chen Yue’s face: “You are beautiful, even like that.”

He then asked, “Will you disapprove of me being an old man?”

Chen Yue burst into tears. She finally raised her head, held Sun Jianguo’s hand, and choked, “How can that happen?” She was a ghost. Even if she held Sun Jianguo’s hand, he could not feel it, but he still smiled.

Sun Jianguo thought that in such an era if there had been no news of a person for a long time, she would probably be dead. However he was unwilling to believe it. He always hoped in his heart that Chen Yue might be alive.

Chen Yue liked eating candy, so he founded a candy company and named it after her. Over the years, he had frequently attended many activities, hoping that she would see him on TV and could come and find him.

As the days turned into nights, Sun Jianguo did not marry all his life. He built the dream candy factory for his beloved girl and waited for her to return. However, time did not stop and he was getting old year by year.

Sun Jianguo regretted a lot. He looked at Ye Sui and sincerely said: “Thank you. Thank you for letting me see her before I die.”

Chen Yue was also moved and said, “Thank you.”

Ye Sui shook her head. The love between Sun Jianguo and Chen Yue made her feel very touched. The world still had such passion, unafraid of life and death.

Chen Yue looked at Sun Jianguo again and said regretfully, “I failed to keep my appointment that year.”

Sun Jianguo: “What happened?”

“A drought occurred shortly after you left. I had no choice but to leave, and died on the road.”

The two were silent; no one expected that it would be their last meeting. With tears in his eyes, Sun Jianguo opened the last drawer of the bedside table. There was a box inside.

As he opened the box, piles of candy paper showed themselves. Chen Yue liked to eat sugar. After she disappeared, he began to collect candy papers so that one day, he could give it to her personally.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Sun Jianguo handed the box to Chen Yue, “You have always loved candy; do you still like it?”

Of course, Chen Yue understood what he meant, and she cried, “I like it very much.”

Ye Sui gently left the ward and closed the door behind her. Chen Shu saw her coming out and immediately looked at her. He didn’t mean to ask, just quietly gazing at Ye Sui.

Ye Sui looked into Chen Shu’s eyes. The moonlight fell quietly and illuminated his face a little. His eyes were dark and deep as if the night sky outside was confined in them.

A lot of things happened today. Ye Sui suddenly felt that it was time for her to find a chance to tell Chen Shu that she could see ghosts.

Ye Sui looked at Chen Shu steadily. In the silent corridor, she slowly spat out a sentence, “Do you think there are ghosts in this world?”

Chen Shu didn’t speak and just stared at Ye Sui, his expression thoughtful.
