He opened the door as usual, and the people would set out their breakfast on the table without asking.
After placing it, he would leave his house like a ghost, and the house would return to quiet in no more than three minutes.
Su Yuxi will wake up in another twenty minutes.
It's like a programmed sequence that plays out every day.
He wasn't curious about what happened between the two of them. Since Su Yuxi didn't say, he didn't ask. He just wanted to keep her company.
He used to think that Su Yuxi was just a stunning passerby in his life, and helping her was nothing more than... what? He couldn't explain why.
I just felt an urge to get closer to her.
Perhaps in the future he will be qualified to stand in front of her.
The click of the door opening interrupted Zhong Yan's thoughts. He turned around and saw Su Yuxi coming out of the room with sleepy eyes.
Su Yuxi wanted to stay in bed a little longer, but the rumbling in her stomach made her restless. That damned aroma kept attacking her sense of smell. It wasn't that she was craving food; it was that the baby in her belly was crying for food.
When she saw Zhong Yan dressed for going out, she paused for a second, then let out a big yawn as she felt sleepy: "Did you just get back?"
"Hmm." Seeing her tired look, Zhong Yan stood up from the sofa, walked to the dining table, and poured a bowl of porridge for her to cool down.
"Eat first, then brush your teeth? Or brush your teeth first, then eat?"
Su Yuxi patted her tummy, walked to the dining table and sat down, resting her chin on her hands and looking listless: "Let's eat first, I want to sleep a little longer after I finish eating."
"what ever."
Zhong Yan brought the porridge to her and sat down beside her. His gaze never left Su Yuxi as he silently sketched her slightly languid face, which was made of fatigue, in his mind.
Actually, that person had one more condition: they had to leave immediately, which meant it was time for Su Yuxi to leave.
Since they had taken control of Su Yuxi, they started targeting him.
In fact, this opportunity was made possible by the help of this event.
He took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and said in a low voice, "Su Yuxi."
"Hmm?" Su Yuxi responded casually, while eating a small pastry.
"I'm going to school." He said with unprecedented determination, as if he were telling her, and also telling himself.
Upon hearing this, Su Yuxi swallowed the food in her mouth, her eyes clear and bright, and praised his decision: "Really? That's great. You should be in school at your age. Going out to collect things all day long, although you can support yourself, is too dangerous. What if something happens?"
“Hmm.” Zhong Yan lowered his head even further, feeling guilty towards Su Yuxi because he had relied on her for this opportunity.
However, he will definitely repay her in the future.
"Is everything arranged? When are we going? Do you need any help?" Actually, she couldn't really help much; if she wanted help, she could only ask the man.
Wait a minute, she remembered something important. She was there to bring the person back to China, but Zhong Yan was going to school, so how could she take the person back?
But her current intention is to go to school. She can't just kidnap her and take her back. After all, she's only eighteen years old and has a bright future ahead of her. Staying in the mountains with her doesn't seem very realistic.
Instantly, Su Yuxi's emotions plummeted. Zhong Yan, who was burying his head in self-blame, didn't see this and continued to say to himself, "It might be in the next few days. I'll have to go once the formalities are completed."
Su Yuxi sighed helplessly, but quickly felt relieved. Men are like that; if one doesn't work out, just find the next one: "Alright, then I wish you success in your studies and a bright future."
"Hmm," Zhong Yan replied bitterly.
Little did he expect that a single fork in his life's path would cause him to miss out on what should have been a bright and promising career path.
Su Yuxi continued with her daily life as usual, while Zhong Yan remained consumed by self-blame and guilt. He stopped packing things and spent almost all his time playing games, drawing, going for walks, and visiting the game room with Su Yuxi—doing everything he could to help her relax.
The man never showed up, nor did he make a single phone call.
Tonight was another boring night. Su Yuxi lay in bed preparing to fall asleep. Not long after she lay down, her heart started racing for no reason. An ominous premonition lingered in her mind and wouldn't go away.
This feeling lasted until midnight.
She was half asleep when a sudden phone call woke her from her light sleep.
She sat up reluctantly from the covers, still somewhat dazed and angry, her small hand instinctively reaching for her phone on the bedside table.
The screen lit up, and she squinted at the unfamiliar number. She casually pressed the answer button, but before she could even speak, she heard a panicked voice from the other end.
"Madam, something has happened to the young master. Please come back quickly."
Su Yuxi's dazed mind instantly cleared up considerably. No one had mentioned Fu Huaijin to her for so many days, so although she hadn't forgotten him, her strange aversion to him had lessened considerably.
"What's wrong with him?" Her voice tightened, and her heart clenched slightly.
"It's very serious, Madam, please come back quickly, Dr. Chu is about to collapse."
With a bang, a loud noise came from the other end of the line after I finished speaking, and the phone was disconnected.
Su Yuxi stared blankly at the phone that had been forcibly hung up for a moment. Then, she suddenly came to her senses, quickly jumped out of bed, changed her clothes in a flash, grabbed her phone, and walked out.
When she opened the door, all the bodyguards were standing in a neat row at the entrance, indicating that they had already received the message and were waiting for her.
"lady."
"Go back." Su Yuxi walked straight past them toward the stairwell.
Hearing a slight noise outside, Zhong Yan got up and opened the door. The room was empty. His heart tightened, and he quickly ran to the balcony, just in time to see Su Yuxi get into the car and leave without looking back.
At that moment, a voice in his heart told him that this would be their last encounter on this journey.
As the last car headlights disappeared into the narrow alley, the street fell silent once more.
Zhong Yan stood there for an unknown amount of time, unconsciously murmuring a name: "Su Yuxi..."
We will definitely meet again...
After Su Yuxi got into the car, her eyelids kept twitching, and her lower abdomen felt slightly uncomfortable.
She tried calling back, but no one answered. She asked the people there, but they didn't know either, which frustrated her.
The car sped along the road, the scenery behind them rushing past, until halfway there, Su Yuxi suddenly realized that this was not the way home: "Where are we going?"
"Madam, the young master is currently at the research institute. Dr. Chu has instructed us to take you there directly."
"How much longer until we arrive?"
"Half an hour left."
During those half hour, neither side felt good.
