During the day, I accompany my mother shopping and taking walks, and at night I keep up with the school's lessons by referring to borrowed notes.
Ye Li's life is fulfilling and busy.
Only when she occasionally snapped out of her reverie while staring out the window did Ye Li realize that she had just been thinking about Fu Yanci again.
He blocked her phone number and deleted her WeChat account. From the day she left the capital, the two never contacted each other again.
Several times, when Ye Li was walking arm in arm with Li Xueqing on the streets of Toronto, she would subconsciously turn around when she heard hurried footsteps behind her.
Then, realizing the reason behind that secret expectation in their heart, a sense of annoyance and self-blame arises in their heart.
A week passes in the blink of an eye.
After Li Xueqing completed all her examinations, the surgery was scheduled for 10 a.m. on Tuesday.
Almost the instant she signed the document, Ye Li's hands and feet began to feel cold.
Ye Li believed in Dr. William's medical skills.
However, Ye Li dared not think about the consequences after the surgery.
Facing the fact that her beloved husband had passed away once again was far too cruel for the mother.
The surgery lasted three hours.
Hearing Dr. William say that everything was going smoothly and that as long as Li Xueqing rested well, it was only a matter of time before she regained her memory, Ye Li thanked him repeatedly.
Back in the ward, I was filled with unease and couldn't find peace.
Not even knowing when she fell asleep, Ye Li opened her eyes again and met Li Xueqing's gentle gaze.
"mom……"
Ye Li sat up, stunned. "Do you want some water? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Should I call a doctor?"
“Ah Li…”
As soon as Li Xueqing spoke, Ye Li knew that her mother, who was once lucid and clear-headed, had returned.
Meeting the sadness and heartache in her eyes, Ye Li burst into tears.
"My Ali has grown up!"
With tears in her eyes, Li Xueqing held Ye Li's hand and said, "If Dad is watching from heaven, he will be very proud of you!"
"mom!"
Ye Li leaned down and hugged Li Xueqing. "In this world, you're all I have left! Promise me you'll take good care of yourself from now on, okay?"
"good……"
Li Xueqing nodded and gently stroked Ye Li's hair, saying, "But Ah Li, you still have 'dislikes'!"
Ye Li's body stiffened.
Li Xueqing looked around the ward. "Ali, didn't Yanci come?"
Unfamiliar air.
An unfamiliar hospital ward.
Li Xueqing knew almost immediately upon waking that this was not the capital city.
Thinking of Fu Yanci's past dedication and his care for Ali, Li Xueqing knew that there must be a problem between Ali and Fu Yanci.
Otherwise, she would definitely have seen Fu Yanci standing behind Ye Li as soon as she woke up.
"Is it because of...company matters?"
Li Xueqing asked softly.
Unsurprisingly, her mother knew that she knew about this, but Ye Li didn't know how to tell her mother about the other things.
Especially the matter of my father's passing.
"Mom, please take good care of yourself. I'll handle things between him and me. Didn't you just say that I'm all grown up now?"
Ye Li offered a evasive answer.
Li Xueqing nodded as her gaze swept over Ye Li's evasive and unwilling face.
She only secretly asked Aunt Lan what had happened when Ye Li was not around.
However, Aunt Lan only vaguely knew that Ye Li and Fu Yanci had been acting strangely lately, but she had no idea what exactly had happened.
After a week of post-operative care, Li Xueqing was discharged from the hospital and moved back to her rented villa.
After not hearing Ye Li mention Fu Yanci for several days in a row, and not even seeing the two of them talking on the phone or sending WeChat messages, Li Xueqing felt that she could not sit idly by any longer.
After dinner, as usual, they went for a walk in the park. Li Xueqing asked softly, "Ali, do you know the secret to why Mom and Dad have such a good relationship for so many years?"
Ye Li blinked, seemingly already guessing what her mother was going to say.
Sure enough, Li Xueqing said, "The key to a good marriage is mutual trust and understanding, as well as timely communication. We should communicate about everything, big or small, even arguments are a form of communication."
Ye Li remained silent.
Does she trust Fu Yanci?
Trustworthy.
In her heart, Fu Yanci was a responsible and dependable man. Even though they had been together for a year, from getting to know each other to falling in love, every move he made was that of a perfect man and a perfect husband.
As for understanding.
Yes... there are.
She initially mistakenly believed that Xiao Bao was his illegitimate child, but she had no doubts and did not mistreat him. She treated Xiao Bao as her own child from the bottom of her heart.
Even though she guessed that Li Li was his white moonlight, she was understanding and never asked any further questions.
After all, everyone has a past.
The only hurdle I couldn't overcome was my father's death.
She wanted to communicate with him, but he was clearly not honest enough.
Throughout the year, he had countless opportunities to tell her, but he didn't.
Even when she asked, he stammered and gave vague answers.
Before Ye Li could figure out what to say, Li Xueqing asked, "Ah Li, do you like Yan Ci?"
After a moment of silence, Ye Li nodded, "I love you."
"Then, does Yan Ci love you?"
Ye Li nodded again.
"Isn't that settled then?"
Li Xueqing chuckled, "You two love each other, everything else is trivial. If problems arise, just communicate face-to-face to resolve them. Change what can be changed, and accept what cannot be changed, isn't that enough?"
Ye Li bit her lip, hesitated for a long time, then stopped and looked at Li Xueqing, "Mom, what if he lied to me? What if his appearance back then hastened Dad's departure? I... I can't accept it, and I can't forgive him."
