Chapter 62: The 62nd Day of Reservedness: Using Everything She Has to Thank Him Zhen...

On the way back to the old house, Pei Yunhe kept holding Shan Yin's hand. They had rarely walked side by side like this before.

Although the hot summer breeze in the evening brought a slight coolness, not as irritatingly hot as during the day, it was June after all, and the palms of the two people pressed together still emitted a lot of heat.

Shan Yin noticed that Pei Yunhe's palms seemed to be slightly sweaty. She stared at the figure who was almost half her body length away and tried to pull her hand out to wipe it for Pei Yunhe.

But as soon as she curled her fingertips, Pei Yunhe immediately turned around and told Shan Yin with his eyes without saying a word that she should not even think about not holding his hand.

She had no choice but to explain: "You are sweating, I want to wipe it for you."

"Do you dislike me?" Pei Yunhe asked with a raised eyebrow.

"That's not the case."

"That's fine."

Pei Yunhe was not such a dirty person, so he did not pull his hand away. Instead, he used the other hand that was not holding Dan Yin's to take out wet wipes from her handbag and turned around.

He first wiped one line for Shan Yin, and then wiped his own palm.

But it was not easy to do it for the time being, so he rolled his eyes and changed his grip from holding Dan Yin's smooth hand to hooking his finger with hers. He hooked his little finger with Dan Yin's little finger, and he could not leave her side at all.

This was the first time that Dan Yin had experienced such an intimate and slightly playful hand-holding posture.

A young couple in school uniforms passed by the roadside. When passing by them, the girl looked at their intertwined hands with a smile in her eyes, then threw herself into the arms of the boy next to her and intertwined her hands with his.

Shan Yin noticed it, and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment in an instant. She hurriedly tried to pull her fingers out, but Pei Yunhe wouldn't let her.

"What are you doing? We are role models for other young couples. Why are you so embarrassed?"

Shan Yin glared at him, but he still didn't let go, so her eyes became pleading again.

Pei Yunhe was so angry that his heart was burning with anxiety.

But he still didn't want to let go.

The old alley is full of ancient charm. In order to maintain its original appearance, the only inconvenience is that some of the paths are rocky and uneven.

The night was getting darker, and although the moonlight covered the entire road, Pei Yunhe was reluctant to continue chanting alone and stumbling a little.

He held Shan Yin's hand again.

"The road is not easy to walk on, I will hold your hand, so you don't have to worry about tripping."

Shan Yin wanted to say that she could do it.

But Pei Yunhe was very persistent, "How about I hold you?"

“…”

Shan Yin thought to himself, forget it.

The two of them walked together on the moonlight. The bluestone road had lost its heat and became cold and hard at night, sometimes feeling a little prickly when they stepped on it.

But the two of them walked side by side, he holding her hand and she holding his. No matter how difficult the road was, they felt calm and happy as they walked.

Shan Yin looked up at Pei Yunhe's profile several times, and thought of the solemn promise he made to his parents during the day.

He said she was his wife and his lover.

Her heart twitched from time to time, as if these two names were too hot and too heavy, making her love them but also feel fear.

Pei Yunhe is a very good person and treats her very well, but too good.

She even thought that if Pei Yunhe's marriage partner was not her, but someone else, then with Pei Yunhe's good character, would he be so good to another person?

She couldn't help but raise her eyelids and look at Pei Yunhe again.

He was looking straight ahead, paying attention to every step and every stone. He supported her from time to time and brushed away the flowers and plants on the roadside that were trying to get close to her.

Occasionally, a stray cat would scurry down from the low wall and meow at him, but he wouldn't get angry. Instead, he would admonish a child, saying, "You can scare me, but you can't scare my wife. Forget it this time. Let's go."

Shan Yin's mood had long since turned into a pool of clear water, swaying in her heart.

It's sweeter than honey, but with a hint of sourness.

If his wife was someone else, he would probably be so nice to that person.

She was suddenly startled.

This seemed to be the first time she felt the taste of food.

She was so startled that she stopped walking. Pei Yunhe also stopped and turned around to ask her if she was tired.

She just woke up from her dream and quickly shook her head.

Fortunately, it was dark at night and he probably didn't see the panic in her eyes.

After returning to the old house, while Pei Yunhe was washing up, Shan Yin stood in the yard and called He Yuxian.

"Brother Yuxian, I don't think we need to wait to show the agreement to Grandpa. I'll sign the final signature tomorrow when I'm free."

He Yuxian on the other end of the phone didn't expect Shan Yin to make such a sudden decision. After a few seconds of silence, He Yuxian asked her, "Will you reconsider it?"

Shan Yin answered firmly: "No."

The bamboo shadows swayed, and the moonlight penetrated through them and sprinkled on the ground, creating a painting of interweaving light and dark.

She remembered that she had also sketched Pei Yunhe's profile over and over again under the moonlight, and had to admit the sour feeling in her heart.

But she also understood that she had no right to be pretentious, nor did she have the time to be pretentious.

After all, she is the one who is with Pei Yunhe now. Pei Yunhe treats her well, but she is alone and has no way to repay him.

Then she could only use everything she had to thank him for taking care of her.

"Sign early tomorrow, but don't tell Pei Yunhe." Shan Yin said into the phone again.

"Yeah." He Yuxian responded.

Shan Yin had nothing else to say. Seeing that Pei Yunhe was almost done showering, he exchanged a few words and prepared to hang up the phone.

"Wait a minute, Dan Yin." He Yuxian suddenly called her.

"Anything else?"

"Actually, Pei..."

After saying a few words, He Yuxian did not continue.

He was a serious and solemn person, and rarely hesitated like this. Shan Yin stared at him with some confusion.

"Pei Yunhe? What's wrong with him?"

"He..." He Yuxian finally swallowed his words and said, "Forget it, it's nothing. Let's talk about it in detail when we have a chance."

"Okay."

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Shan Yin guessed that what He Yuxian wanted to say was not something that could be explained clearly over the phone in a short time. She looked towards the bathroom again and said goodbye to He Yuxian.

In the middle of the night, Dan Yin's phone rang. News came from the hospital that Su Daosheng had woken up.

Originally, the caregiver did not intend to disturb Shan Yin, but Su Daosheng called Shan Yin's name several times and looked very worried, so the caregiver had to call in the early morning.

But this was not a disturbance to Shan Yin. She was surprised, happy and scared, and even forgot to wear shoes when she got out of bed. It was Pei Yunhe who carried her back to bed, dressed her, and then drove her to the hospital in a hurry.

Su Wan's family arrived a little slower than them. When they arrived at the hospital, Shan Yin almost rushed into Su Daosheng's ward.

From afar, Shan Yin saw Su Daosheng lying on the hospital bed with his eyes open, looking at her anxiously. She couldn't hold back her tears, which welled up in her eyes.

"Grandpa!"

She rushed over and held Su Daosheng's hand tightly, then looked him up and down with fear and trepidation, as if she had to see him to make sure that Su Daosheng was okay.

Su Daosheng waved his hand tremblingly to comfort Shan Yin. Shan Yin had just woken up, with needles and tubes inserted into his body. His speech was not clear, but he kept shouting: "Yin Yin, Yin Yin..."

Shan Yin wanted to cry more and more, but she was really afraid that Su Daosheng would worry, so she suppressed the sourness in her nose and wrinkled her facial features into a look of extreme aggrieved yet pretending to be strong.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, it's me... I'm here! I'll stay with you!"

Seeing that Su Daosheng was still trembling, she was still worried. She gently wiped Su Daosheng's cheek and checked again, "Grandpa, are you still feeling uncomfortable? Or do you want something? Are you feeling okay?"

Su Daosheng just shook his head, his eyes full of tears.

The room gradually became quiet. Both the grandfather and grandson wiped away their tears and spoke in low and intermittent voices.

Pei Yunhe stood quietly by the bedroom door of the ward, watching Shan Yin and Su Daosheng talking together, and his heart felt much more at ease.

After more than ten minutes, after expressing his concern and recent situation, Shan Yin's emotions stabilized, and Su Dao's anger also subsided a lot.

He wanted to sit up, so Shan Yin pressed the bed lift button for him and gave him a pillow to cushion his back.

Su Daosheng's vision suddenly widened a lot, and his gaze naturally fell on Pei Yunhe at the door. Pei Yunhe paused for a second, nodded, and took two steps closer.

"Grandpa."

Su Daosheng knew who this person was without having to guess. Not to mention that Pei Yunhe's gaze on Shan Yin was gentle and affectionate, he also looked at him with worry.

Su Daosheng thought of the nonsense that Shan Zewu had said to him, and looked at Pei Yunhe with a serious expression, even though he couldn't speak clearly.

"You too... come here."

Pei Yunhe walked over as he was told, and Su Daosheng asked him to sit down again.

He turned around and pulled a wooden chair over, but he didn't sit on it himself. Instead, he helped Shan Yin up and gently pushed her down to sit on the chair.

He lowered his head and said, "Don't lie down on the ground, be careful not to catch a cold."

Shan Yin didn't say anything, and sat down naturally under his help. But after sitting down, he turned around and said to him, "You sit down too."

Pei Yunhe then pulled out another chair and sat next to her.

Seeing that the young couple got along so harmoniously, their love was long-lasting and full of tenderness, Su Daosheng complained in his heart that he was too concerned and confused.

If he had believed what He Yuxian said earlier, that the Pei family treated Shan Yin very well, he would not have fallen seriously ill again and caused Shan Yin to worry in vain.

In just half a minute, Su Daosheng's attitude towards Pei Yunhe became much better. He then spoke to him briefly for a few more words, his words full of recognition for him.

"Xiao He said...your Pei family treats Yinyin very well. Grandpa...hopes that you will always be...well."

Su Daosheng held Shan Yin's hand. His slightly yellow fingertips were still trembling. He placed Shan Yin's hand on the back of Pei Yunhe's hand and pressed it hard.

"From now on...on, you must always...take good care of yourselves."

"Don't worry." Pei Yunhe responded.

He knew that Su Daosheng was worried about the Pei family and that his kindness to Shan Yin was only temporary.

He said, "I just went to my parents' graves and swore an oath yesterday. They are watching from heaven. If I don't keep my word, I will definitely suffer the consequences."

Upon hearing this, Su Daosheng glanced at Shan Yin and said to Pei Yunhe, "Yinyin will take you there..."

Shan Yin: "Yeah."

In an instant, tears welled up in the corners of Su Daosheng's eyes again, but he was smiling, and his thin and resolute face showed kindness and gentleness.

He watched Shan Yin grow up. She kept many things in her heart and did not open up to others easily. The early death of her parents was a scar on her heart for many years.

She is now willing to take Pei Yunhe to see her parents, which undoubtedly shows her complete approval of this person.

Pei Yunhe knew everything about Shan Yin, but still treated her wholeheartedly.

Su Daosheng no longer had anything to worry about.

The three of them talked for a while, and then Su Wan and the others arrived. After another reunion, Su Daosheng's face showed obvious signs of fatigue.

Su Daosheng had just woken up and was exhausted and needed to rest. Su Wan's family went to have dinner, but Shan Yin couldn't eat, so Pei Yunhe took her to sit in the outer room to watch over her, leaving Su Daosheng to sleep for a while inside.

It was already daybreak, and golden light shone into the room through the window frames, casting rectangles one after another on the tiled floor.

Shan Yin looked at the blocks of light quietly, waiting and hoping that they would become bigger and brighter.

But at this moment, Pei Yunhe's cell phone suddenly rang, and the security personnel guarding the entrance and exit of this floor said that Shan Zewu and Shan Feiyu were here again.
