The room was very quiet and still. It was quiet enough that she could easily hear the beeping sounds from the ECG monitor. There were a few potted plants in front of the window. Underneath the sunlight, these plants looked charmingly verdant.
Ji Qingqing approached the sick bed and looked at the man, who was in critical condition and close to death. She felt incomparably sympathetic towards him.
In the , this man had died within the next few days. That was why the male lead had given up on living incognito as an impoverished person and returned to the Lu family.
The man lying in front of her was outstanding, but no matter how outstanding he was, he was still no match for human mortality.
Most people wouldn't be able to survive past three days if they were in the same condition as him, but he had stubbornly lasted a month.
This man had 100 billion yuan. Although money can't buy back a life, it could be used to hire countless specialists that would do everything they could to save him from death. This money allowed him to live for a month in the intensive care unit.

Ji Qingqing sat down by his bedside. Looking at his exquisitely excellent and stern face with strong facial features, she once again sighed over God's miraculousness in creating him.
Such a handsome, flawless man. Any woman would be moved by him, right?
From a freakish combination of factors, this man had become her husband. Ji Qingqing felt as if she was having a wonderful dream.
"You can pass away without worrying. I'll take your place in being filial to your grandfather. I'll take care of him in his old age."
The man's eyeballs moved under his closed eyelids, and his brow furrowed too. Immediately after, his eyes opened a crack. Because of the glare from the light, he couldn't open his eyes fully. With his eyes half-opened, he faintly looked at Ji Qingqing.
Faced with those tired eyes, Ji Qingqing's heart suddenly jumped.
He woke up?
"You're... awake?"
Ji Qingqing incredulously looked at him. Panic-stricken, she stood up and said, "Don't worry. I'll call your grandfather over!"
This man was seriously injured. The doctor had said that his major organs were already failing. Perhaps, he would die within the next few days.
He had been in a coma for a month. Ji Qingqing guessed that he was only waking up right now as his final act of lucidity and activity prior to his demise.
Before Ji Qingqing opened the door, the man let out a painful groan. Immediately after, there was a long flatlining sound from the ECG monitor. The sound felt as if it would cut through her ears.
The steady line on the ECG monitor extend forward in a straight line.
The man fell unconscious again.
"Doctor!" Ji Qingqing called out towards the outside hallway.
The doctor and nurses rushed into the room. "Hurry! He needs immediate treatment!"
"There's no heartbeat!"
"Prepare the defibrillator!"
Ji Qingqing blankly stared at the straight line on the monitor. For a moment, her mind was blank.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis person, had he just died in front of her?
Just a moment ago, he was breathing and his heart was beating. In less than a minute, he had died?
Ji Qingqing's brain was completely blank. Her mind was filled with ECG's earlier piercing sound. It had been so piercing that a person couldn't help but panic.
Three more nurses rushed into the room. During these frantic moments, a nurse bumped into Ji Qingqing and caused her to fall on top of the man in the bed.
Everyone pale.
“Miss Ji, please leave..."
Beep, beep, beep.
At the moment when Ji Qingqing fell on top of the man, the straight line on the ECG monitor strangely jumped up. Gradually, the monitor showed normal heart activity. The man, who had been struggling at death's door for a month, slowly opened his eyes again. He was alive again.
-- "I told you. As long as there's some sort of physical contact between you and Ji Qingqing, you'll be able to continue living."
This mechanical voice which had originally appeared in Ji Qingqing's mind was now sounding in the resurrected Lu Lixing's mind.
Go back ten minutes ago.
As Ji Qingqing was signing her name outside of the room, Lu Lixing's fingertips slightly twitched.
As the man was coming to the end of his allocated lifespan, a mechanical voice sounded in his brain.
-- "... Ji Qingqing is young and beautiful. She is rich in vitality. If you marry her, you can continue living."
