finally fell asleep again.Fu Yan felt a pang of heartache, watching her mother's disheveled and pale face. She couldn't imagine the despair her mother must have endured for almost twenty hours.Suddenl...That's where Ji Lin is preparing to put the Olympic gold medal.

It's a pity that place will forever be empty from now on.

Ji Lin stood for a long time in front of that shelf, his spine straight, like he was having a silent farewell.

Ji Qing couldn't bear to see this scene. She patted Fu Zao's restless shoulder and turned away, leaving only Fu Yan standing behind him.

Even silent companionship between good friends can be comforting.

After a few minutes, Ji Lin didn't turn back. "Xiao Yan'er, where is my good child's gold medal"

Fu Yan remembered and hurriedly took out the medal she had bought at a toy store yesterday. It was something Ji Lin had asked her to bring back when they were discharged from the hospital, and she didn't expect it would be useful again.

She walked forward and presented the medal to Ji Lin.

Ji Lin placed the medal in the palm of his hand.

Fu Yan believed he was going to place the medal in that vacant spot.

Who knew, at the moment of receiving the award, he tore open the golden paper wrapper and took a bite.

The slit in the gold paper revealed a deep brown chocolate indentation.

Fu Yan said: "…"

How could she not have noticed that the medal looked like this

Ji Lin took another bite, his mouth seemingly filled with chocolate. He mumbled indistinctly, "They all say that eating sweets improves your mood, but they're all liars, Fu XiaoYan, is this piece of chocolate expired"

"If it's expired, then don't eat it." Fu Yan stepped forward.

But his steps came to a halt.

Ji Lin's room floor was dark, Fu Yan saw tears falling on the ground in front of her.

Fu Yan didn't take another step forward, her eyes were red-rimmed. "Expired chocolate is still a sweet treat, don't underestimate it."

Ji Lin had indeed taken another bite.

"I really want to participate in the competition."

"I know."

Ji Lin took another bite of chocolate, "My eldest sister is not young anymore. If she continues to manage the company, I'm afraid she won't be able to get married this lifetime."

"Yes, so you can't be too selfish."

Ji Lin chewed on the chocolate, stopping abruptly. “Can you comfort people”

"I won't," Fu Yan answered confidently.

Ji Linqi laughed, he turned to look at Fu Yan, his eyes were red, laughing and laughing, he suddenly covered his mouth, "It seems to be expired..."

Before he could finish, he dashed straight to the bathroom.

The door closed, and the sound of rushing water came from inside.

Fu Yan didn't follow. She stood there, picking up the gold paper wrapping of the chocolate gold medal that Ji Lin had ripped off the shelf.

Shelf life is six months at room temperature. The production date was clearly marked as the first of last month.

There is no expiration date.

The sound of running water in the bathroom continued, but Ji Lin didn't come out for a long time.

It was dinner time before Ji Lin came out from inside.

Fu Yan intentionally avoided looking into his eyes, "How about we go to the welfare home in our old neighborhood this weekend Let's visit the children, just as a way to clear our heads."

She didn't see the struggle that flashed across Ji Lin's eyes.

There was no response from him for a while.

Fu Yan turned her head, avoiding his gaze as she repeated, "Dr. Qin said you can now engage in outdoor activities. The children are energetic, and seeing them will lift your spirits."

"Also, I told the director to let the teachers keep your coma a secret from the children. Last time I went to the orphanage, Xiaoxing held my hand and asked why you weren't coming to see them. Xiaoxing said she missed her big brother Jilin very much."

Ji Lin gritted his back teeth, his body trembling slightly.

When Fu Yan looked over, she let out a breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Good." his aura undiminished as he met his gaze. "Second brother,"The tail of the tone rose slightly, with a hint of mockery and coldness that only those in power could understand.Ho Mingzheng chuckled ligh...
