Don't let down Thirteen
Huang Yaya's family was very harmonious during this year's Chinese New Year. Huang's father was transferred to a better position because of Xiao Qi's relationship, and the family also had a rare chance to have a real reunion dinner on New Year's Eve.
Maybe this is the last reunion dinner, after all, she will graduate from college soon.
She had only dreamed of Huo Weixi a few times this year. He was too busy suppressing rebellions and fighting off enemies.
Huo Weixi told her that everything would be fine soon. This was just a counterattack by Yue Wan and the remaining Da Qiang tribe. Once everything settled down, Yue would be at peace, and he would have more time to spend with her.
When Huang Yaya was in her senior year, the Qi family had already set a date for the wedding. Huang Yaya used the excuse that she wanted to go on a graduation trip with her classmates first, and the other party agreed to postpone it to September.
But after graduation, she just stayed at home every day. Every time Huang's mother asked her, she said that something happened at her classmate's home and she had to postpone it for a few days.
One day, Huang Yaya saw her mother sitting on the sofa watching TV. She hugged her mother's waist and said coquettishly, "Mom, can I not get married?"
Huang's mother's face, which was originally still smiling, suddenly darkened. She said, "I've already accepted the betrothal gift. Don't tell me you want to regret it now. There's nothing wrong with Xiao Qi. She's more than enough for you."
Seeing that Huang's mother was about to give another long speech, Huang Yaya quickly laughed and said, "Mom, I'm just joking. I just can't bear to leave you."
"Why are you reluctant to leave? Let your brother live in AA City and we'll go with him. Then we can be together as a family again." Huang's mother lovingly stroked Huang Yaya's hair. It seemed her daughter rarely got so close to her. Now that she was getting married, she had grown up.
"Mom, will you miss me?"
"Yes, you are a piece of flesh and blood that fell from my body. I will definitely miss you. But the Qi family are all good people and they are rich. You should not be too willful in the future. You should be filial to your parents-in-law, okay?" Mother Huang said earnestly.
"Mom, I miss you too." Huang Yaya smelled the smell of oil smoke on her mother Huang's body. She remembered that her mother always smelled good when she was a child. She couldn't help but shed a few tears.
"When you give birth, mom will help you take care of the baby."
"Mom, did it hurt when you gave birth to me? Do you regret it?"
"Of course it hurts, but Mommy doesn't regret it."
Huang Yaya knew that her mother was lying, but she was very happy to hear her mother say that.
When she was little, Huang's mother would always say that it would have been better if she hadn't given birth to Huang Yaya. But Huang Yaya was very lucky to be born to Huang's mother and be her daughter.
"Mom, I love you. You've worked so hard! I was disobedient before. I'm sorry."
"What's wrong with you today, kid?" Mother Huang was happy to hear Huang Yaya's apology. She felt that her daughter finally understood how difficult it was for her.
…
"My dear, are you really ready?" Huo Weixi asked Huang Yaya while hugging her.
"Yeah. It will definitely succeed!" Huang Yaya asked as she looked at the black pill that was still wriggling in the box.
"Well, my lady, it will hurt a little."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of pain."
Seeing Huang Yaya reaching out to take the pill, Huo Weixi suddenly wanted to stop her. He didn't want to see her suffer. If only he could bear it all.
As the pill was swallowed, Huang Yaya felt like she was about to die. It was so painful that she felt like bugs were gnawing at her pain nerves, bite after bite.
Her limbs felt like they were being smashed with a hammer, then healed in a very short time, only to be smashed again. She couldn't see clearly, as if someone had poured sulfuric acid into her eyes.
She wanted to fall asleep, but the pain was too much and she couldn't fall asleep. All she could hear in her ears was the buzzing of her periosteum.
Big drops of sweat dripped from her body. She could only roll around helplessly on the bed. Her mouth was in so much pain that she couldn't make any sound for help. She could only roar like an animal.
Huo Weixi, who saw everything, kept comforting her in her ear, but it was of no use as the other party could not hear at all.
Huo Weixi regretted so much, so much that he shouldn't have let her take this medicine, even if it meant he could only see her occasionally.
Listening to Huang Yaya's roar, he could only kneel helplessly on the ground and pound the ground over and over again.
Huang Yaya felt that all this pain was what she deserved. She abandoned her mother and left a mess to her mother. She was really unfilial. But she really didn't want to marry the man her mother mentioned. She also really fell in love with Huo Weixi.
Time passed very slowly, so slowly that she felt like she was going through a life and death cycle. When she slowly opened her eyes, she saw Huo Weixi, who looked haggard.
The other person's face was very pale and there was a wound at the corner of his mouth.
"Wei Xi, did it succeed?" Huang Yaya asked in a weak voice.
"Well, you've been sleeping for three days." Huo Weixi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her wake up.
Ruomei, who was standing by, immediately handed over a bowl of medicine. Huang Yaya, seeing this, said with some resistance, "I don't want to drink it. It's bitter!"
"My dear, I'll stay with you." After saying that, Huo Weixi drank the very bitter medicine in one gulp, bent down and slowly fed it to Huang Yaya one mouthful at a time.
Besides being bitter, the medicine also had his taste. Thinking of this, Huang Yaya swallowed it with relish.
Seeing this scene, Ruomei also hurriedly lowered her head.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Huang Yaya noticed that Huo Weixi's hand holding the bowl was wrapped in gauze, and asked with concern.
"My dear, I'm fine. You've worked hard." After saying this, Huo Weixi couldn't help but shed tears.
Huang Yaya felt like it was the first time Huo Weixi cried, and these tears made her feel distressed and happy: "Weixi, hug me."
Hearing this, Huo Weixi hurriedly hugged Huang Yaya in his arms, while Ruomei put away the medicine bowl and left the room.
"Weixi." Huang Yaya hugged Huo Weixi's neck and shouted.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?"
"If you change your mind, I will kill you." Huang Yaya said with a smile, and then bit Huo Weixi's ear hard.
"No, never." He just patted her back gently with his hand, letting her vent her inner worries.
There was a letter left on Huang Yaya's desk.
Mom and Dad:
I'm an unfilial daughter. Thank you for raising me, but I don't want to listen to your plans. I don't want to get married. I'm leaving. I'm going to work abroad with my friends. Don't miss me. Just pretend you never gave birth to me! I will always feel guilty and live a happy life somewhere in the world. I will always miss you, Mom and Dad.
