"I'll walk you upstairs." He Ruiting said thoughtfully.
Su Jinyi forced herself to smile, turned a deaf ear, and said to Uncle Xu and Na y Lin: "I'll rest first, I'll be leaving in two days."
"What?" When the two old men heard this, their faces were filled with astonishment.
"Why do you still want to leave?" They thought that the couple had already reconciled, and the guilt that was suppressed for three years in their hearts was finally released. Who would have thought that Su Jinyi had no intention of staying behind at all?
"The reason I came back was to see a doctor, " Su Jinyi patiently explained, "When I have recovered, I will naturally leave. Na y Lin, Uncle Xu, don't think too much."Let bygones be bygones. It's not good for everyone to overthink things."
He Ruiting heard these words clearly, every word was like needles, piercing his heart.
But there was nothing he could do but breathe deeply and quietly.
After sending Su Jinyi to her room on the floor above, He Ruiting said: "Rest well tonight, don't be afraid."
"What am I afraid of?" Su Jinyi didn't even want to look him in the eye, so she coldly replied, "I'm only afraid of you. I'll only be at ease if you're not here."
He Ruiting was helpless and could only nod his head.
"Alright, good night then. I'll call you tomorrow morning."
However, just as he turned around, he was called out.
"Don't go."
He Ruiting happily turned back, only to see Su Jinyi raising the square handkerchief in her hand, and saying to him: "You forgot to take this, I don't need it."
The happiness that was just ignited in his heart was immediately washed away, He Ruiting reached out to take it back, and said: This isn't mine, it's a gift from Yi Yi.
When he said the two words "Yi Yi", he suddenly felt somewhat guilty.
"Mm, got it." Su Jinyi said coldly, and without turning back, she pushed open the door and entered the house.
Three years.
She had been gone for three years.
doted on her, loved her, and loved her. However, in the end, he realized that everything was a conspiracy!
Su Jinyi had never wanted her to think about things too clearly. Whenever she thought about the past, her heart would feel as if it was being sliced by knives.
She only wished that she could continue living a normal life. She no longer had that hatred, and she no longer needed that love.
But why hadn't this place changed in three years?
Su Jinyi stood at the door and looked at this once warm and romantic little house. How many times had it been that He Ruiting would find all sorts of excuses to force himself into her bed?
Su Jinyi rubbed her forehead in pain. She was unwilling to remember these things again.
On one side, she was in deep pain, while on the other, He Ruiting was in even more agony.
He had originally thought that if he found Su Jinyi, everything would go according to his plan?? He would keep her by his side, and she would forever stay in his embrace!
But now, he realized how cold reality was.
Even if she forced Su Jinyi to stay, her heart would probably be gone for a long time.
After so many years of immersing himself in the business, which time had he not wanted to get along with the wind and rain? Even in times of crisis, he could turn the tide. However, when faced with a weak girl, he found himself to be completely useless and powerless.
He Ruiting sighed and called Duan Yunxuan.
"Why are you thinking of me now?" Although Duan Yunxuan was a soldier, when he was with his friends, he spoke very casually.
"She's back."
"She?" Duan Yunxuan, who was not too concerned about the call, raised his voice by an octave when he heard this.
"Hiss????" He Ruiting unconsciously moved a distance away from the phone, "What are you shouting about?"
"You've finally found your sister-in-law?" Duan Yunxuan sounded much more excited than He Ruiting.
"Yeah, I found it, but I still can't find it."
"What the heck is this? Brother Ting, can you say anything that I can understand? "Why are you getting more and more??" Duan Yunxuan stopped and did not continue.
"Motherfucker? Right? "
The other end of the line went silent, tacitly agreeing.
"She reluctantly promised me to come back because she was seeing a doctor. She'll leave once she's recovered."
"Go?" "Where to?"
"I don't know. As long as she can leave me, she would be happy."
The three words "wish" were squeezed out from between He Ruiting's clenched teeth. He painfully closed his eyes and even his breathing felt painful. He had never thought that the distance between him and Su Jinyi could make him so anxious.
If one's heart was too far away, it would be useless even if one was in front of them.
Duan Yunxuan had never felt that He Ruiting was so helpless before. Hearing his words, Duan Yunxuan did not know how to comfort him.
"It's nothing, " He Ruiting forced himself to keep his spirits up, "I was just casually complaining and died."
"Don't hang up, " Duan Yunxuan rushed to say, "How long has it been since you last saw Yi Yi?"
He Ruiting was speechless.
For the past three years, the only person he had been concerned about was Su Jinyi.
He loved He Yiyi dearly in the past, firstly, because she was his only sister; secondly, because her body was extremely weak and she was very obedient and sensible. If he didn't go and protect her, who else could he rely on?
However, all of these things had changed when he fell in love with Su Jinyi.
Moreover, He Yiyi's illness had already been cured, so he put more energy into Su Jinyi.
"As an elder brother, you're not as dutiful as me."
"Oh? Since you've done your duty, help me do what I have to do."
"He Ruiting?! What the hell are you saying! You are his brother, and I am an outsider! "
"Is that so? You dare to say that you don't have any presumptuous thoughts? "
"You????" Duan Yunxuan wanted to retort, but he knew that nothing could escape He Ruiting's eyes, so he replied, "I won't fight with you, I can't fight with you, but when you're free, I'll go and see Yi Yi. She really misses you."
"Got it."
In the morning of the next day, when He Ruiting wanted to wake Su Jinyi up, he found her already waiting downstairs.
He Ruiting did not sleep until early in the morning. His mental state was not very good, but when he saw Su Jinyi's people, his mood brightened up.
Even if she would leave again soon.
He looked at the shoes on her feet. They were a pair of high-heeled shoes. He cautiously said, "There will be a lot of inspections today. It's better to change to a comfortable pair of shoes. I'm worried that you'll be tired."
Without waiting for her reply, he walked over to the shoe cabinet and took out the pair of sneakers she used to like to wear.
"I'll help you change."
He Ruiting decisively crouched at Su Jinyi's feet, holding onto her struggling ankle, he raised his head and said: "In the future, I may not have such a chance."
Su Jinyi no longer dodged and let him do as she pleased.
With great concern, He Ruiting opened the car door for her and protected her forehead as he watched her get in. Then, he went around to the driver's seat and drove towards the hospital.
"The doctors have already arranged everything. When we arrive, we will have a direct examination. In addition to blood images, we will also need to do brain CT and gastroscopy."
Su Jinyi declined to comment.
He Ruiting could no longer find words to say.
As he was approaching the hospital, his phone suddenly rang. Two words appeared on the screen: Yiyi.
