Quick Transmigration: The Beautiful Host Wants to Have Both Love and Career

Chapter 236 The Beautiful Doctor's Love and Career (88 words)

Yun Suisi paused, then blinked.

In that instant, tears that had been building up for so long burst forth, streaming down his tired and haggard face.

His lips trembled slightly, and his voice became broken and intermittent due to sobs:

"Ah Sui, Jun Sui. I thought... we would make it in time."

This simple sentence, however, was like a sharp dagger, piercing straight through Jun Sui's feigned strength.

Jun Sui's eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up in them.

He bit his lower lip hard, trying to keep his emotions from collapsing.

But his slightly trembling chin betrayed his inner pain.

Yun Suisi raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, but the tears flowed like beads from a broken string, and he couldn't stop them.

"I really thought we would get there in time, and that we would be able to protect Yichen and Mushang."

His eyes were filled with self-blame and regret, as if he were trapped in a deep quagmire of pain from which he could not extricate himself.

"In every previous mission, no matter how dangerous or difficult it was, we all got through it together."

Everyone always seems to be safe and sound, so I thought... this time would be the same.

Jun Sui took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his trembling hands betrayed his inner turmoil.

He reached out and gripped Yun Suisi's hand tightly, as if trying to draw strength from that grip.

"Ah Si, I know, I think so too."

We all tried our best, really. This isn't your fault, nor is it any of ours.

His voice was slightly hoarse as he tried his best to comfort Yun Suisi, but his words also betrayed his own sorrow.

Yun Suisi shook his head, tears streaming down his face.

"No, if we go even faster."

If we had been able to detect those dangerous signs earlier, things might not be like this now.

It breaks my heart to see Yichen like this.

Mu Shang…Why did Mu Shang leave like that?

By the end, his voice was almost broken, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

Jun Sui didn't say anything more, but suddenly opened his arms and hugged Yun Suisi tightly.

Soon, Yun Suisi felt the clothes on his shoulders gradually becoming damp.

Those were Jun Sui's silent tears, seeping out drop by drop.

Every tear carries his deep longing and reluctance to part with Mu Shang, and is also filled with the unspeakable pain deep in his heart.

Yes, Jun Sui and Mu Shang have been comrades-in-arms for many years!

Together they went through countless life-or-death trials.

During those days of fighting side by side, they supported each other, trusted each other, and had long been like brothers.

Over the years, they have become one family.

Mu Shang has always been an indispensable member of this big family.

His departure was like a piece being forcibly ripped out of Jun Sui's heart, leaving an unfillable void.

As the team leader, Jun Sui has always shouldered the important responsibility of protecting everyone and leading the team forward.

In his heart, he already regarded every team member as his closest family member.

Now that he has lost Mu Shang, the self-blame and grief surged in his heart like a raging tide.

He kept replaying every detail of the past in his mind.

Thinking back, if I had made a wiser decision at the time, if I had been more perceptive of the danger, perhaps none of this would have happened.

Yun Suisi stayed quietly in Jun Sui's arms for a while.

He could clearly feel Jun Sui's trembling, a manifestation of suppressing immense grief.

How could it not hurt...

Yun Suisi and Jun Sui lay on the bed, their bodies extremely exhausted, yet their minds unusually clear.

Tormented by pain and self-blame, I tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep.

Every time I close my eyes, Mu Shang's image appears in my mind.

That familiar smile seems to still be right before my eyes, yet it feels so far away.

As the first rays of morning sunlight struggled to pierce through the clouds and into the room, the two awoke from their brief but painful rest.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I saw dark circles under my eyes, my face was as pale as paper, and my eyes were empty and lifeless, full of fatigue and haggardness.

They dragged their heavy bodies, step by step, to the door of Gu Yichen's room.

Yun Suisi forced himself to stay awake and looked at the conscious Jun Lique:

"Yichen, is he still inside?"

The voice was so soft it seemed a gust of wind could carry it away, carrying a hint of anticipation, yet also a touch of trepidation at the fear of hearing the answer.

Jun Lique looked exhausted, his eyes bloodshot.

He leaned against the wall, his body swaying slightly, and simply nodded.

"Hmm, there's no sound at all."

The person... is still alive.

His words were brief yet heavy, each word seemingly squeezed from the depths of his heart, revealing deep worry and helplessness.

Jun Sui opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his throat was terribly dry.

"...Then we..."

Before he could finish speaking, a crisp sound of a door opening suddenly came from behind Jun Lique.

It stood out starkly in the quiet corridor.

At that moment, all three of them froze, their eyes fixed on the slowly opening door, their hearts pounding.

It is... Gu Yichen.

His figure appeared at the doorway, his frame looking exceptionally thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

His face was ashen, his eyes sunken, staring blankly ahead.

The clothes that used to fit him well now looked loose and baggy on him, and he stood there lifelessly like a withered tree.

Yun Suisi looked at Gu Yichen, a sharp pain shooting through her heart. She silently compared them in her mind:

Gu Yichen, look at yourself now, look what you've done to yourself.

When Mu Shang was around, he took meticulous care of you. Your eyes shone with light, and your body was full of vitality.

But now, you've taken such a bad care of yourself.

Compared to how Mu Shang raised you, it's like comparing heaven and earth, the difference is far, far greater.

If this continues, in a few more days, given your weakened state, I'm afraid Mu Shang will really have to "take care" of you again.

Thinking of this, Yun Suisi's eyes reddened slightly. He bit his lip hard, trying to suppress the grief in his heart.

Gu Yichen stood there quietly.

It gives people a feeling of emptiness and illusion, as if he is just a phantom without substance.

It could dissipate into the air at any moment and disappear in the next second.

After a long while, he moved his lips slightly, his voice hoarse and dry, as if it came from a very distant place:

"What should we do after this mission is over?"

His tone was so flat and emotionless, as if he were mechanically repeating a question.

It's like searching for a glimmer of direction in this chaotic world, trying to grasp something so as not to lose oneself completely.

Upon hearing these words, Jun Lique's heart clenched.

He knew that Gu Yichen was still stuck in the memories of the past and had not accepted the reality that Mu Shang had left.

He took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound steady:

"Yichen, you should get some rest this time."

Leave the other trivial matters to us, okay?

Gu Yichen's eyes remained vacant. He seemed not to have heard Yun Suisi's reply, and simply repeated himself:

"What should we do after this mission is over?"

That persistent repetition is like a silent protest.

Protesting this cruel reality, protesting the injustice of fate.

It was also like his last struggle deep inside, unwilling to face the already broken world.

Jun Sui stood aside, and seeing Gu Yichen like this, her eyes also reddened.

He reached out, wanting to pat Gu Yichen's shoulder, but stopped in mid-air, his hand trembling slightly, before finally slowly lowering it.
