Pei Youchuan's brows were tightly furrowed as he looked into the hospital room, his eyes falling on the deceased shrouded in white cloth.
His mind exploded with shock, and he stumbled toward the bedside, "No, how could it be..."
Just moments ago, Qiao Chuchu was full of life, carrying him around like it was nothing.
How could she be dead now!
Pei Youchuan's knees gave way, and he fell to the ground, gripping the edge of the bed as he wept, "Chuchu!!!"
Pei Che arrived at Pei Youchuan's room but found it empty, and hearing the commotion, rushed to the adjacent room, his face turning pale at the sight!
Pei Yuan followed right behind, seeing the white cloth and feeling a wave of dizziness!
Pei Fengnong swayed and leaned against the wall!
Pei Mu and Pei Ci, unable to believe their eyes, turned to the nurse: "Is Chuchu lying in there?!"
The nurse, caught off guard by their sudden appearance, was utterly baffled: "Yes, it's Chu Chu, but I have a feeling we're not talking about the same Chu Chu."
Seeing the white cloth, Pei Buxian's face lost all color. He raced to the bedside and knelt beside Pei Youchuan, sobbing uncontrollably—
"Chuchu! How could this happen to you?! I only took my eyes off you for a moment, and you're gone!"
Tears streaming down his face, he continued, "We promised, even if we were to die, we would die together. You can't leave me behind, my Chuchu!"
Pei Buxian cried as he pulled back the white sheet: "Look at me, please!"
An old face was suddenly revealed to Pei Buxian.
His crying abruptly stopped.
Pei Youchuan, still caught in his tears, exclaimed, "Wha—?"
The room fell silent.
Pei Buxian blinked a few times, gently laid the white sheet back over the face.
He hesitated, then lifted the sheet again.
And finally, tucked it back under once more.
Pei Buxian remained silent for two seconds, slowly straightened his back, and very respectfully bowed his head: "I'm sorry, you don't need to open your eyes to look at me. I cried over the wrong person."
He walked out of the room with Pei Youchuan and kicked him hard in the rear!
"You cried over the wrong grave, you idiot!!!"
Pei Youchuan, looking like a stunned gorilla, tearfully said, "But I clearly heard the nurse say it was Chuchu."
The nurse was speechless: "I said Chu Chu, with the surname Chu and the character Chu."
Pei Buxian urgently asked, "Then where is our Qiao Chuchu?"
His eyes red, he thought of something and pitifully shed tears again: "Tell me, no matter what the result is, I can accept it. I'm ready to leave with her at any moment. I made a vow to die with her."
The nurse looked at him as if he were crazy: "If you're referring to the Qiao Chuchu who went viral from the boat incident, she's already left with the police."
Pei Buxian: "? Did she go to jail?"
The nurse: "?? She went home!"
Pei Yuan turned and left immediately!
Pei Buxian followed close behind!
Pei Youchuan followed closely: "I'm going too, to find Chuchu!"
Pei Buxian angrily shoved him aside: "No! You don't even know where your sister is. You're a pure idiot for crying over the wrong grave, and have you seen the videos of Qiao Chuchu all over the internet behind your back? She's been trying so hard!"
Pei Youchuan was stunned, a bit indignant: "I just woke up, I don't know where she is. The moment I opened my eyes, I heard the nurse looking for Chu Chu's family. I thought it was my Chuchu!"
Pei Buxian jumped up, grabbing his collar: "It's MY Chuchu, you baldy!"
Pei Youchuan: "? You callin' me bald?"
Pei Buxian pointed at the large bald patch in the middle of his hair: "That's right, you're a baldy now!"
Pei Youchuan: "?"
Pei Youchuan felt the top of his head.
?!
Where was his hair?!
Where was his middle-part hair?!
Pei Yuan, unable to stand it any longer, turned back and scolded: "Stop arguing! Let's go home and find Chuchu!"
