Chapter 39 I'll cross mountains and rivers for you

The pain persisted into the night without dissipating.

Instead, it became more and more unforgettable.

Su Pu tossed and turned in bed. Now, he couldn't even have nightmares anymore; his mind was filled with Li Jichuan.

It turns out that Li Jichuan once harbored beautiful, unrealistic fantasies about this world.

It turns out that his growth process was so cruel and heartbreaking.

Su Pu got up, glanced at the time, and realized it was past midnight.

Li Jichuan should be asleep by now...

Not daring to disturb them, Su Pu simply opened their chat window and browsed their chat history.

Perhaps because they spent every day together, Su Pu and Li Jichuan didn't communicate very frequently when Su Pu first moved into Li Jichuan's apartment.

Later, their communication gradually increased.

Every time Su Pu finished checking in, she would send Li Jichuan a coffee emoji followed by a question mark.

Li Jichuan replied with a sleepy emoji, and Su Pu knew she should bring him two drinks.

Sometimes, when Li Jichuan played a prank, he would respond to Su Pu with a megaphone-shaped emoji. Su Pu would smile and deliberately make a simple Americano as punishment.

Sometimes, Li Jichuan would send a picture of a cluster of flames, which meant he was in a bad mood... So, in addition to coffee, Su Pu would also choose a cake.

Li Jichuan kept saying it was unhealthy, but he always ate it very cleanly!

Su Pu laughed as she looked at it, and couldn't help but touch Li Jichuan's portrait with her fingertip—a formulaic ID photo.

Suddenly, the avatar started shaking—

You patted your husband.

Su Pu: !!!

The next second, his phone started vibrating; it was a video call invitation from his husband.

Little Dumb Girl never expected that Li Jichuan was still awake at this hour. Startled, she shrank to Li Jichuan's side of the bed and stared blankly at the phone on the back.

After a long while, the invitation ended, and the screen went black.

Su Pu let out a breath, then immediately felt disappointed again...

I was just startled; I didn't mean to refuse Li Jichuan's video call...

It was as if the person on the other side of the screen heard his innermost thoughts.

A moment later, Su Pu's phone lit up again, and her husband's video call invitation popped up once more.

Su Pu swallowed hard and answered the video call.

"Still not asleep?"

A handsome face of Li Jichuan appeared on the screen, making the little mute boy shudder.

How can someone look so handsome just by casually playing a video? God is so unfair!

Coincidentally, the person on the other side of the screen had the same idea.

How can someone be so beautiful and alluring even in the middle of the night...

The neckline of the pajamas is a bit low, and that area of ​​skin is very white.

She has a long neck, and although she's not very tall, her proportions are really good!

Like a little swan...

Li Jichuan curled his lips into a smile.

Unable to speak, Su Pu switched to a smaller screen and carefully typed a message to him.

He moved the screen to a lower position, focusing the camera on his crimson lips, and Li Jichuan blinked slowly.

Feeling the restlessness in my body.

Su Pu: [Why are you still up so late? Can't you sleep?]

Li Jichuan glanced at the message and replied with a smile, "You said I wasn't sleeping, but you weren't sleeping either, were you?"

"What's wrong? Is it insomnia, or did you have a nightmare and wake up in the middle of the night?"

Su Pu smiled, pursing her lips: "I have insomnia."

Why am I having insomnia?

As Su Pu looked at Li Jichuan on the screen, thinking of how happy he had once been, her heart began to ache again.

Su Pu: [I drank a cold brew tonight.]

When coffee was mentioned, Li Jichuan's expression brightened even more. "The coffee beans here in southern Yunnan are very good, and they smell wonderful when freshly ground."

Su Pu: [Yes, we also have some beans from southern Yunnan in our shop; they have a very refreshing taste and texture.]

“Don’t drink coffee so late at night anymore,” Li Jichuan coughed twice, his voice a little hoarse, “Your sleep quality is already poor…”

Su Pu frowned: [You have a cold?]

“No,” Li Jichuan shook his head, thought for a moment, “It’s probably just that I caught a cold. My body felt hot and cold in turns while I was lying in bed.”

That's a sign that's about to develop a cold and fever. Have you taken any medication?

"Don't worry, I'm really fine. I've just been too busy lately and haven't been getting enough rest."

If you look closely, Li Jichuan's lips are pale.

"I'll take some sleeping pills later and get a good night's sleep. I'll feel better tomorrow."

Su Pu was still worried: "Do you still have a lot of work to do?"

Since the day Li Jichuan left, Su Pu has developed the habit of searching for the Li family and Li Jichuan on social media and news websites from time to time.

However, the Li family's public relations team seems to be very capable. On the night Li Jichuan arrived, there was no follow-up report on the strike incident that could be found on the entire internet.

Su Pu's lingering affection was like a kite with a broken string, finding no support.

He had no idea about Li Jichuan's situation.

Every time he asked, Li Jichuan would only answer, "Everything is fine."

But Su Pu could tell that Li Jichuan was very tired and weak, and couldn't spare any attention.

He's not good at all...

"Oh dear, don't worry about me, my little face is all scrunched up."

Li Jichuan was still joking at this moment, and coughed twice before speaking.

"If you're so worried about me, then come see me!"

Go see Li Jichuan?

Su Pu was lost in thought. What identity should he use to visit Li Jichuan?

He knew nothing, and in fact, Li Jichuan had already tasted some really good coffee in southern Yunnan.

There was even less need for Supu to go there.

Seeing the little mute boy completely caught in a dilemma, Li Jichuan couldn't help but chuckle and burst out laughing.

"I'm just kidding you. You go to work hard in Yuncheng and wait for me to come home!"

Su Pu nodded: "Then remember to take your medicine."

Li Jichuan smiled and replied, "Okay~"

...

After hanging up the phone, Su Pu was completely unable to sleep until dawn broke outside the window.

He didn't draw the curtains, and the magnificent sunrise over Yuncheng poured into his eyes, bathing him in orange light.

Li Jichuan...

He was still worried.

Thinking of this person makes my heart ache.

In the corner of the room, there was still the flower sword that Li Jichuan had given to Su Pu.

He recalled that night when Li Jichuan captured him in the light and firmly grasped his wrist.

“Su Pu, sometimes moving forward is also a way to protect yourself.”

Yes, moving forward can also protect him; he doesn't need to always run away.

Thinking of this, Su Pu got up quickly, found her ID, grabbed a few clothes, and rushed into the bathroom to get herself ready as fast as possible.

The people in the apartment were still slowly waking up.

Uncle Wang yawned, pushed open the door, and saw the little mute boy rushing around carrying a small box, pointing to his phone.

She smiled and waved to him.

Uncle Wang understood, took out his phone to check, and saw that it was a message left to him by Su Pu.

I'm going to southern Yunnan to find my husband!

Uncle Wang smiled as he saw him off.

"Then I wish my little monkey a lot of fun!"

...

Two hours later, Su Pu boarded the first plane of the day bound for southern Yunnan.

This was the little mute boy's first time on an airplane, and he was extremely excited.

The feeling of being pushed forward before taking off propelled his heart a thousand miles away, all the way to Li Jichuan's side.

Su Pu blinked excitedly, gazing at the shrinking city.

I will fly thousands of kilometers to come to your side!
