Chapter 80: Endless Snow (1/2)

Translator: Claire.KK

Wenxu Jiang stood still for a while. He didn’t come back to sense until the cigarette burnt his finger. And his sudden rise caused a loud screech between the chair feet and the wooden floor.

”Wenxu Jiang? Wenxu Jiang! What's wrong with you?” Jingwen Zhang was a bit worried. He witnessed Wenxu Jiang's condition; the man probably couldn't handle a tiny bit of external stimulation.

Wenxu Jiang hung up the phone. He could barely hold his coat. He stepped outside his office in an unclear mind and before he knew it, he started running awkwardly.

Assistant Song was trying to calm the grumpy puppy down when his boss banged the door open.

”Drive me to the airport; ask about the ticket of the earliest plane to Hangzhou.” Wenxu Jiang's voice was placid but it was perceptibly quivering.

”Now?” Assistant Song was shocked. He replied by instinct. It was too sudden but he knew he couldn't ask more. He picked up the puppy and said, ”Boss, I'll have the receptionist look after it.”

In the car, Wenxu Jiang found his heart was under too much pressure, his limbs dead cold. He feared and he knew.

He was alive; the operation was a success. But how come a person could just die like that... What about Zhishu He then?

Jingwen Zhang did tell him that bone marrow wouldn't do anything at this stage of Zhishu He's leukemia but Wenxu Jiang never listened. He kept refusing to accept the fact that Zhishu He would eventually die. Wenxu Jiang found himself absurd. Why was he so convinced that Zhishu He would live a happy life with him again after he got better soon?

Wenxu Jiang finally grudgingly admitted a horrifying thought that he might lose Zhishu He, like forever.

”Boss, I have made a phone call; the earliest plane will be eight thirty tonight,” Assistant Song took off his Bluetooth earphone, ”Book that one now?”

Wenxu Jiang only hummed while watching the gloomy sky outside the window. He must take one last look at Zhishu He, even from a distance, just to assure himself. He wouldn't... wouldn't upset him again.

It was only about four o'clock when he arrived at the airport. Wenxu Jiang wanted to head straight into the airport lounge by himself yet saw snow coming down from the sky while getting off the car.

Wenxu Jiang's heart jerked and he asked, ”Did you read the weather forecast?”

How could Assistant Song notice that when he didn't even have time to turn on a TV or check his phone? He turned on his 4G to check the weather in a hurry after hearing Wenxu Jiang's question.

Light snow.

”Should be fine.” Assistant Song said.

Wenxu Jiang didn't get off the car, they waited together another two hours. In the two hours, the snow got heavier; it was two or three centimeters on the ground.

”Why... does Beijing snow so much this year?” Wenxu Jiang said it so lightly as if he talked to himself.
