Chapter 123 Chronological Articles (Twenty-one)

"It's nothing, I just fainted from a sudden anger attack. I woke up soon."

"Is the child under too much pressure? I heard he's doing well in school."

"Parents should not put too much pressure on their children. They should eat more meat, eggs, and milk to replenish their body. Look at how pale this child is. He has no blood."

The old man in the village stroked the few hairs on his chin and looked at Wang Guifang with disapproval, as if she was a stepmother who abused her child.

Wang Guifang reflected, wondering if she had really put too much pressure on the child. Chuyang usually loved studying, and she hadn't said anything about it.

Chu Yun didn't say anything. He wanted to go to the bathroom, but Chu Yang's hand was tightly grasping the hem of his clothes.

Chu Yun could easily pry open the hands of a fainted person.

Chu Yun didn't move and continued to sit on the kang, holding back his pee.

"When will my brother wake up?"

"He should wake up soon. I'll prescribe some blood-boosting medicine for him and he'll be fine."

The old man stood up to leave, carrying an old wooden medicine box on his back, and Wang Guifang went out to see him off.

Chu Yang's complexion gradually improved, but his brows were still tightly furrowed, and he looked panicked as if he had had a nightmare.

The rain stopped outside and Lu Ting came back. He looked refreshed and was playing with the puppy at Dongzi's house.

Dongzi's big yellow dog gave birth to a litter of puppies. Lu Ting loved them very much, but Lu Fuguo was allergic to animal hair, so he never raised them.

One of the puppies particularly liked him. When he saw him, a look of fear appeared on his face and he kept hiding behind him, but his tail would lift up and wag slightly.

Although it's not nice to say this, he feels that this puppy looks like Chu Yun. Chu Yun was like this when he first met her, with his head down and not talkative, but would smile shyly when looking into his eyes.

He immediately came back to share it with Chuyun, wanting Chuyun to go with him to see it. It would be best if they could raise it together.

From then on, every year when he came back from vacation, he would come to the village to see it, and he would also have an excuse to see Chuyun.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Chu Yang lying on the kang. Lu Ting didn't care, but Chu Yang's hand was always clutching Chu Yun's clothes.

Lu Ting reached out and flung his hand lightly, but Chu Yang's hand was flung away and hit the edge of the kang. The two of them separated, and Lu Ting felt much better.

"Chu Yun! Let's go to Dongzi's house to see the puppy! It's super cute, you'll definitely like it!"

Chu Yun really wanted to go, but Chu Yang was still unconscious, so he had to stay with him.

"My brother was unwell and fainted, and I was looking after him."

Lu Ting didn't expect Chu Yang to faint. He thought this guy was acting like a baby in broad daylight and had to let Chu Yun accompany him to sleep.

He casually asked:

"Oh, what happened? Why did he faint?"

Chu Yun didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t say that he fainted because of his anger.

"It's okay. The village doctor said it was just due to the pressure of studying."

Lu Ting thought this was a quack. Chu Yang treated reading as eating, and he would feel stressed if he didn't read.

But Lu Ting didn't care. He would wake up soon anyway.

"Then let's go see the puppy. Your brother will be awake soon."

Wang Guifang came into the house. She took out packets of Chinese medicine with instructions on how to cook it and the dosage. She asked Chu Yun to read them, as she didn't recognize many of the words.

Chu Yun looked at the words written on the paper package in a flamboyant style. It was no exaggeration to say that Chu Yun would believe it was in English.

He was too embarrassed to admit in front of Lu Ting and Wang Guifang that he didn't know the name, so he asked 001 to help him identify it and read out the simplified Chinese characters given by 001.

"Okay, I'll go cook it now. Don't go running around outside. It just rained and it's slippery outside. It's hard to wash off the mud. Just stay home and study!"

After saying this, Wang Guifang thought of the old man's words, pursed her lips and said:

"Have fun at home, don't go out!"

"Oh, I see."

Chu Yang felt cold all over and began to shiver, so Chu Yun pulled the quilt over him.

“&*#￥…”

Chu Yang began to mumble nonsense.

Chu Yun couldn't hear clearly so she leaned over to his ear. Lu Ting was upset and went to the main room to help Wang Guifang light the fire.

"I can't hear you clearly, please speak louder."

"Chu Yun...Chu Yun..."

Chu Yun now heard clearly that Chu Yang was calling his name.

But he didn't know what to do, so he imitated his grandmother and patted his back when he was a child. He felt extra safe, so he followed her example and patted Chuyang gently.

Chu Yang's frown relaxed a little, but he still kept calling Chu Yun's name.

She shouted tirelessly over and over again. After a while, she didn't know what she dreamed about. A clear teardrop from the corner of her eye slid down her temples into her hair.

Chu Yun didn't know what to do when he saw someone crying, so he just patted her gently and coaxed her:

"I'm Chuyun... I'm Chuyun... I'm here, right here..."

Who knew that this was completely useless? The person on the kang cried even more happily, flowing like a faucet. His lips began to turn red, and his whole face became rosy because of crying.

Chu Yang began to sob softly, his chest rising and falling like a child who had suffered a great injustice.

Wang Guifang was lighting a fire in the main room and couldn't hear clearly:

"What's wrong? Who's talking?!"

Chu Yun nervously covered Chu Yang's mouth, fearing that Wang Guifang would hear something she shouldn't hear.

He looked at the door nervously and replied stutteringly:

"Nothing...nothing! I'm studying!"

Wang Guifang was mumbling in the outer room, but Chu Yun couldn't hear clearly:

"Your study is a blessing for our ancestors..."

Chu Yun: ...Is this my biological mother?

Chu Yang under him stopped talking in his sleep, and Chu Yun looked down.

Chu Yang opened his eyes, which were red and bloodshot. His narrow and long phoenix eyes were less cold than usual and more charming.

I don’t know if he hasn’t woken up from the dream yet, but Chu Yang didn’t say anything even though his mouth was covered. He just stared at Chu Yun blankly.

The two of them just stared at each other stupidly.

Chu Yun was the first to react, loosened the hand that was covering his mouth, and rubbed his fingers slightly.

"You...you're awake..."

Chu Yang slowly got up. He dreamed that Chu Yun died right in front of him.

In the dream, Chu Yun became even thinner, wearing a ventilator, with fatigue that could not be concealed on his face. Even though he was no longer energetic, there was a kind of morbid beauty. He lay pitifully on the hospital bed. He guarded Chu Yun, and Chu Yun said goodbye to him.

Goodbye has many meanings. Does it mean we will meet again soon? Or does it mean we will never see each other again?

He was extremely panicked and stretched out his hands, not knowing what to do.

Chu Yun gently pushed Chu Yang away, looking at the ground and the ceiling, but not at him.

Wang Guifang's voice came from outside the door.

"Chuyun! The medicine is ready!"

Chu Yun felt that the person in front of him was staring at him intently. He used his best acting skills to not laugh, and kept a straight face:

"Oh! Here it comes."
