Chapter 779 Sleeping Quietly
The words were swirling on the tip of his tongue, but Levi found that language was so feeble and ridiculous at this moment that it could not help him in any way.
He repeated it over and over again in his mouth, and finally swallowed it, exhaled gently, raised his right hand slightly, and was about to pat Jeff's shoulder to express comfort. After all, he still staggered it, and just waved it gently from a distance. To remove the invisible dust, hoping to lighten the burden a little.
Then, he walked awkwardly and entered the ward.
Standing at the door, Levi was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked at his clothes, straightened them, and then walked towards the bedside.
Anne Gallas, lying there quietly and peacefully, with a calm face, no pain or struggle visible, seemed to have fallen into a drowsy sleep, having a dreamless night, waiting peacefully for the sun to rise again, There is still a trace of remaining blush on her fair cheeks, which has not completely disappeared. There is nothing unusual about her quiet and natural appearance.
It seemed like he was just asleep.
Then, waiting patiently, waiting for Levi to approach, waiting for the moment when Levi relaxes his vigilance, the next second, Annie will open her eyes and deliberately make a fierce face, and rush towards Levi, "Bang!"
Seeing Levi's shock and panic, Anne laughed triumphantly.
"Hahaha, you should really see your expression now!"
However, nothing happened.
No scares, no pranks, no belly laughs, no weirdness.
Nothing.
There was silence, and Anne was still lying here quietly, seeming to be teasing Levi's rich imagination and deliberately refusing to cooperate with the performance.
Time stretches and stretches in the quiet air.
Disappointment dragged Levi's heart slowly down.
Levi took a deep breath, managed to calm down, and regained his smile.
"Hey Annie, it's Levi, your favorite player number twenty-three."
Levi couldn't help but look at the face in front of him carefully, but it still didn't feel real. Just a few days ago, they were discussing the upcoming divisional round, and they were attending Felix's funeral together.
When he turned around, he was already separated from yin and yang.
Everything, without any warning, not even a chance to mentally prepare.
"Dear little one, you didn't miss our divisional round, right? Look, we are so good now, and the Indianapolis Colts have experienced an upgraded version of the Kansas City Chiefs."
"Impressed."
"How about it, did you see my touchdowns? Those touchdowns are dedicated to you."
"Haha, do you like it?"
Levi missed that Anne, the Anne with bright eyes and a bright smile. Even when she was in trouble, she never forgot the Anne who faced challenges with a smile.
Even though she knew she was fighting a battle with no chance of winning, Anne never slackened off, held her head high and fought to the end.
"This weekend, we are about to meet the New England Patriots again, but unfortunately, you are going to miss it."
"You know, this is going to be a great matchup. I'm ready. Do you think I can score a touchdown? What's the final score prediction?"
"Haha, we will win, I know it, no matter what the score is, we have no confidence but we will win, it's that simple."
Bara, bara, bara, bara—
But it's just boring.
Li Wei, who had always been eloquent, and who was not inferior even in the face of reporters and other scholars, was suddenly at a loss for words. He didn't know what to say. The silence in front of him mocked his incompetence and insignificance unbridled.
So what if we traveled through time? So what if I win a second life? So what if you win the Super Bowl?
Standing in front of life, old age, illness and death, he is still a helpless baby.
Then, a wave of anger suddenly grew, sweeping through the entire brain in the blink of an eye. He became uncontrollably irritable and uncontrollably angry, and everything went off the rails.
"Hey!"
"Hey, Anne, wake up!" "Our famous Anne Galas will not break her promise easily, right?"
"Didn't we agree to go to Arrowhead Stadium to watch us play the New England Patriots? Didn't we agree that you would go to the next game to see me score a touchdown with your own eyes?"
"Why did you give up like that?"
"Didn't we promise to fight to the end? Didn't we promise that the chief would never surrender easily? Didn't we promise..."
However.
No response, nothing.
Levi suddenly discovered that the entire ward was eerily quiet, with no sound at all. This was not Anne. Anne was always smiling, always chirping, always full of energy, and the space with her was always filled with noise and laughter.
Unlike now, it's extremely quiet.
He didn't like the silence.
This realization grabbed Levi's heart in an instant, and all his strength was suddenly deflated.
The words were stuck in his throat, and he could no longer continue.
The anger, sadness, and pain only made him smaller.
So embarrassed.
He still remembers Anne's bright and bright smile, he still remembers the way Anne talked and laughed in the face of death, and he still remembers that Anne's small body has an incredibly powerful soul and she can face life and death calmly.
If Anne were watching this scene at this moment, she would have smiled so brightly, turned forward and backward, and even couldn't help but beat the bed.
That was Annie, like a little sun, smiling at life and death, letting mortals like them who lost control in the face of life and death expose their weaknesses.
Perhaps, life has an end, and everyone's long journey must face the same end after all, but life and life are different.
Some people live a whole life, but never find true happiness and happiness. They just drift with the crowd indifferently and do nothing, and they still have not found the meaning of their existence until the end of their lives.
Some people, in just ten years, continue to shine and light up the world, firmly seizing every moment of life to bloom and burn, not only to inspire others, but just to live up to themselves.
Some people are alive, but they are dead; some people are dead, but they are still alive. The meaning and value of life are never that simple.
Anne is the latter. In just ten years of life, she has a hundred years of magnificence and splendor.
Involuntarily, clench your fists, quietly feel the beating of your heart in your chest, and listen to the rhythm and sound of the pulse of life like never before.
Levi took a deep breath, and his anger finally calmed down.
"Oh."
Levi chuckled in embarrassment and couldn't help but sigh.
"Oops, a flaw in the perfect image."
"Shh, keep it a secret. Only you and I know, okay?"
"It just so happens that we are even, because I already know your fears, and now in exchange, you also know my vulnerability. Fair deal."
Quietly, quietly stare at the face in front of you. There is a strong and tough soul living in that fragile and fragile body.
"You're afraid of being remembered, right?"
Levi still remembers, clearly, the wisdom of life shining on that childish face.
"You are afraid that we are trapped in memory and can no longer move forward, so you would rather be forgotten. The dead have passed away after all, but the living still have to live, right?"
"But, Anne, you are wrong..."
