Chapter 89: This world is unscientific (20)

Ding Gua Gua really couldn’t accept the situation in the room. Although he had always hoped that his parents and brother would have a very bad life after his death, when he saw such a scene with his own eyes, he actually didn’t feel happy at all. He was even a little angry — before he died, his brother had already received his bone marrow and recovered from his illness. Then, a nuisance like himself had died. Why was his brother still coughing?

Ding Gua Gua was very upset, so the aura in the room became even colder. As for Ding Gua Gua’s brother, Ding Ming, he coughed even more violently.

“Ah Ming, please listen to us! Your body can’t support you for much longer. A bone marrow donor has already been found. Do you know how rare this opportunity is? He also personally agreed to donate it. Why are you refusing? You are simply digging at my heart!”

Mother Ding burst into tears as she watched Ding Ming who was constantly coughing. Ding Gua Gua looked at his mother and found that in less than a year, his mother who wasn’t very beautiful to begin with had become even more haggard and aged. A smile couldn’t be found on her face, forever plastered with an anxious and distressed expression. This made Ding Gua Gua unhappy again.

Ding Ming coughed twice and smiled with difficulty as he looked at Mother Ding: “Mother, the blood in my body is now Gua Gua’s. Gua Gua has suffered so much in order to save me. He obviously doesn’t like to eat red braised pork, doesn’t like to drink chicken soup, but for my sake, he would eat those things every day. He ended up gaining more than 10 kgs of weight. He was obviously only a grade three child, but he looked just like a grade six student.”

“Cough cough…… cough. He must have received a lot of cold looks and ridicule at school. Do you know how painful it is to extract stem cells? Even adults wouldn’t be able to bear it. How old was he? He had to suffer so much. I remember that he hated taking injections, but how many did he take for my sake?”

Ding Ming’s voice was very soft, but every word he said was unbearably heavy. “Mother, Gua Gua’s blood is now flowing inside me. This is the only proof that Gua Gua is still in this world. He suffered so much for me. What right do I have to change his blood without his consent?”

“Unless Gua Gua tells me himself, I am absolutely not going ahead with the surgery.”

Suddenly hearing about her youngest son again, Mother Ding couldn’t control her emotions anymore and cried as she hugged her eldest son.

“What sins did I commit in my last life?! Why must my children receive so much suffering?! God! I am willing to bear all the pain for my child, so please stop tormenting him! Gua Gua is already dead. If Ah Ming also dies, then what’s the point in living?”

Having been silent the entire time, Father Ding also expressed his feelings by fiercely beating the sofa he was sitting on. Then, amidst Mother Ding’s look of disbelief, he said: “This is fate. Let him go.”

Mother Ding immediately roared: “How can this be fate? My son can’t die! He must go ahead with surgery! He must have surgery!!”

Mother Ding shouted, but seeing the extremely calm expression on her son’s face, she instantly shut her mouth. Her face was filled with sadness and even despair.

“My Gua Gua is gone. When I watched him eat those things every night, I would wish to snatch those things back from his mouth. When I hugged him for injections and heard him tell me that it hurts, I would think ‘please let my Gua Gua quickly get through this pain and gain weight to save Ah Ming’. He could then continue to live happily and eat whatever he wants. I would definitely make different things he likes to eat every day. Finally, both my sons got better. The operation was done and Gua Gua didn’t have to suffer anymore. My Ah Ming could also be healthy.”

“But, why must God be so cruel?”

“Why did Gua Gua have to go play by the lake?”

“Why was he so careless and fell into the water?”

Mother Ding lightly touched her tears, as though the person who had just been shouting wasn’t her. She looked at her eldest son who was calmly watching her and said: “The moment I saw Gua Gua’s dead body, I thought, why was it my Gua Gua who died? Why wasn’t it you?”

Ding Ming was stunned for a moment, and Father Ding immediately shouted: “Shut up!”

However, Mother Ding ignored him and continued: “Since he died in order to save you, then you must continue to live. Otherwise, wouldn’t Gua Gua have died in vain?”

Ding Gua Gua looked at the three people in the room who suddenly became silent and felt that the mood here made him feel very sad. It was as though they were all hanging at the edge of a cliff. With a small gust of wind, the three of them would all fall into a bottomless abyss.

He suddenly recalled the situation before his death. He remembered how unwilling he felt when he died. This was something he would always remember. He was unwilling to die, so he felt angry and resentful. But he had forgotten that besides this anger and resentment, he also had other feelings.

He was sad that he could no longer see his father who would hug him every day and let him ride on his shoulders, taking him all over the place.

He was sad that he could no longer see his mother who would kiss him every day and make all kinds of delicious food for him.

He was also sad that he could no longer ask his brother to help with his homework, to secretly get his brother to take him out to play and buy him snacks. He could no longer tell his classmates: I have a very awesome brother. He has extremely good grades; people say that he’s a genius.

He was very sad, but when he thought of his parents and brother, he also felt very happy. Thinking of them made him happy, but when he thought that he wouldn’t be able to see them again, he felt even more sad and angry. Would they have a happier life without him? Would they forget about him?

The dead Ding Gua Gua thought so, and amidst his uncertain worry, he gradually forgot about everything. He could only remember the unwillingness and anger of when he died. Ah, I’m dead. They’ll definitely have a happier life. They forgot about me.

But, they didn’t forget about me at all! They all love me very much, all miss me very much, just like how I miss them all the time.

In this moment, the resentful energy on Ding Gua Gua’s body instantly dissipated like it was illuminated by the sun. His figure became transparent, and his entire being became even more round and cute.

Ren Zhu was quite surprised when he saw this change, but then he felt a little distressed. Silently watching Ding Gua Gua become more and more transparent, Yi Xiao knew that he was soon about to enter reincarnation, so he quickly raised his hand.

The silent Ding family suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in the room. Then, a figure gradually appeared in front of them.

Mother Ding’s expression of shock and fear instantly turned into that of disbelief after she clearly saw the figure. Father Ding’s hands were shaking, and as for Ding Ming, he coughed vigorously but stared firmly at that figure. After a long time, he asked with uncertainty: “Gua Gua?”

Seeing that he was about to leave, Ding Gua Gua felt very anxious, but when he suddenly heard the call from his brother, he subconsciously replied: “Ge!”

Then, he himself was also stunned.

“Ge?! Dad, mum! Can you see me?!”

Ding Gua Gua anxiously waved his hand, wanting to be confirm his guess. Mother Ding simply covered her mouth and cried as she repeatedly called out Gua Gua’s name. Father Ding reached out to hold Ding Gua Gua, but his palm only passed through that white translucent arm.

Ding Gua Gua was now certain that his parents and brother could see him. So long as this was confirmed, then it was all good.

So, Ding Gua Gua revealed a big smile. He carefully stepped forward to hug his brother and father, and finally stopped by his mother’s side. He said to his family: “Don’t cry. Didn’t I come back to see you guys?”

“However, I might not have much time left. Sigh, this is a little depressing. I had thought that you all didn’t miss me, so I wasn’t able to reincarnate. Now I know that you all miss me very much, but as soon as I’m happy, I will need to leave this world. I lost the chance to accompany you guys again.”

Ding Gua Gua touched his mother’s hand: “Mum, brother, dad. Although I was very unhappy, very scared and very sad when I died, it was because I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to see you guys anymore, afraid that you would all forget about me. But now I know that you all love me very much, so, I’m not sad anymore. I’m very happy.”

“I know that you will always remember me, so, I’m not afraid anymore.”

“But, I’m still a little angry.”

Mother Ding wiped her tears and quickly asked: “Gua Gua, why are you angry? Tell mother. Mother will help you vent your anger.”

Ding Gua Gua pouted and looked at his mother: “You and dad don’t look very well. You also don’t have the previous beauty and handsomeness you had before. I’m not particularly happy.”

Ding Gua Gua then looked at his brother: “I’ve already donated my blood to you and suffered so much, but in spite of everything, your illness came back and yet you’re refusing to continue treatment. I’m very unhappy.”

Ding Ming wiped his face and trembled as he looked as his little brother who was becoming more and more transparent: “If I accept treatment, will you be happy?”

Ding Gua Gua thought for a moment and shook his head: “You need to receive treatment and live a healthy life until you’re very old. You also need to help me take care of mum and dad, and not forget about me. Then I’ll be happy.”

Ding Ming smiled as he cried and nodded his head. He solemnly promised: “Okay. I will live a healthy life until a ripe old age and take good care of mum and dad. I will never forget about you, so be happy.”

Consequently, Ding Gua Gua smiled. The morning sunlight shone through the window, making this smile look extremely bright and beautiful.

“I love you all very much, but I have to go now. If there’s a next life, I am still willing to be your child and brother. Then, we can live happily together.”

“Before, I was afraid of leaving, but now, I’m not afraid anymore.”
