Chapter 152 Another Autumn
At first, Yu Chucheng was groping for the way on his own and had a lot of difficulty. Later, Duan Huaijin reluctantly took his hand and leaned over to block his panicked voice.
So shameful.
So much so that every time Yu Chucheng thought of that night, he would deeply regret not listening to the doctor.
Yu Chucheng thought it was over, but before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, Duan Huaijin tied his hands with something.
Yu Chucheng took a closer look. Silk, silk scarf? !
He immediately lost his composure.
Duan Huaijin just curled the corners of his mouth slightly and praised him for doing a good job.
Yu Chucheng's cheeks flushed red.
Who asked you to praise me!
He wanted to bite the scarf open with his teeth, but Duan Huaijin didn't give him a chance.
In the end, he had no strength left and even begging for mercy was useless. Yu Chucheng had no choice but to make a faint sound through his hoarse throat with tears.
Why, this is different from what he thought.
Isn’t Duan Huaijin a beautiful lady? How come she became like this after falling in love? Is she still the cold and calm Duan Huaijin?
And how come this guy's skills get better and better each time?! Yu Chucheng wanted to cry but had no tears.
The whole night was spent in absurdity, and until noon, the room was still filled with a mysterious smell.
Duan Huaijin had already gone to school. He prepared breakfast and placed a glass of milk at the bedside. When he left, he took away all the garbage produced last night.
Yu Chucheng turned over with back pain and put his arms over his eyes to block the sunlight coming in through the gaps in the curtains.
"Um?"
Yu Chucheng's eyes flashed, he opened his eyes, raised his arm, and saw a glittering ring on the finger of his right hand that had recovered.
This ring is new and looks more beautifully made than the previous one.
The sunlight shone on the ring, and as Yu Chucheng's wrist gently turned, it reflected a dazzling light.
Yu Chucheng liked this ring very much, but deep down he actually had a special liking for the first ring that Duan Huaijin gave him.
I just don't know where the first ring went.
Maybe it fell into that abandoned warehouse and was buried in the dust, or maybe it was thrown away because the diamond on it was damaged.
In short, Yu Chucheng felt it was a pity.
It was not until a long time later, about a year and a half, that Yu Chucheng found out where the ring had gone.
Duan Huaijin found a very skilled craftsman to repair the broken diamonds on the ring to the greatest extent possible, and then made it into a pendant and wore it around his neck.
The ring is close to his heart and the scratches on it cannot be erased, but it reminds Duan Huaijin all the time who he almost lost and who he wants to protect throughout his life.

In autumn, Kyoto Xiangyang Elementary School is holding a parent-child sports competition.
Wang Jingyuan sat anxiously in the waiting area, looking towards the entrance of the playground from time to time.
"Now, please ask the fifth group of contestants to take their positions!"
The referee raised a small flag, and the classmates around Wang Jingyuan all held their parents' hands and stood at the starting line.
The content of their competition is a 50-meter race in which parents carry their children on their backs.
Wang Jingyuan was late in coming on stage, and she stood there anxiously waiting, her hands unconsciously clenching her clothes.
"What's the situation with that girl? The game is about to start. If she doesn't play, she will be considered as forfeiting!" The referee blew the whistle twice.
"Wait a minute! Sorry, the traffic is really congested today!" At the critical moment, Yu Chucheng finally appeared and called out, "Yuanyuan!"
The moment Wang Jingyuan saw him, his eyes lit up.
Parents around cast curious glances and talked a lot.
"It looks like he's the older brother. It's impossible for him to have such a big child at such a young age."
"But why don't they look alike at all?"
Yu Chucheng folded his sleeves upwards several times and moved his wrists and ankles.
He made a sudden decision to come and participate in the parent-child sports meeting with Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan's parents are working outside, and her grandfather can't come because of his inconvenient legs and feet. A few days ago, when Yu Chucheng and Duan Huaijin went to see Yuanyuan with snacks, she was sitting in the stairwell with a sad face and a daze.
Upon learning that Yuanyuan’s school was holding a running competition, Yu Chucheng decided to sign up for the competition, as running is his strong point.
But after participating in this sports meeting today, he still has to go to an important place.
Yu Chucheng squatted down, smiled and said to Yuanyuan, "Come up."
Yuanyuan has grown up now and is in primary school. She attends classes and studies like a normal child and is very clean now. No one can recognize that she is the scary little girl who used to sit in the corridor covered in dust.
Yu Chucheng carried Yuanyuan on his back. Although she had grown a little taller, she was still as light as ever.
The moment the starting gun sounded, Yu Chucheng stood out among the middle-aged men in their thirties and forties, as fast as a gust of wind.
He didn't do much exercise during his four years in college, but fortunately he is still as good as before.
Yu Chucheng was complacent and inexplicably a little proud.
Having easily won a gold medal, Yu Chucheng rushed to the next place without stopping.
"Brother, where are you going?" Yuanyuan's little face flushed with joy.
Yu Chucheng felt a little hot, so he hung his coat on his arm. He touched Yuanyuan's head and said, "Brother is going to the art exhibition. Remember to go home early after the sports meeting."
"Art exhibition?" Yuanyuan blinked. She didn't know where an art exhibition was, but her brother looked a little anxious, as if he was in a hurry.
In fact, Yu Chucheng was almost late.
Unfortunately, the weather in Kyoto changed, and there were more and more cars on the road. By the time he arrived at the exhibition center, Zhang Wan had almost finished introducing his paintings.
Zhang Wan was wearing an elegant plain cheongsam, with her hair simply tied behind her head and two strands of hair hanging down on her temples.
Her beauty and her former identity attracted a lot of attention.
She calmly accepted everyone's gaze, always with a smile on her face. When she turned around, a thin scar was left on the back of her neck where the gland should be, but she didn't care.
Zhang Wan submitted a total of three works for the exhibition this time. She used rich colors to outline a story of a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. The theme connecting the three works is called rebirth.
"Everyone will have his or her own new life," said Zhang Wan.
Just like the scar on the back of her neck, it represents her rebirth from cocoon to butterfly.
After Zhang Wan finished her introduction, the art lovers around her nodded repeatedly.
Yu Chucheng was the first to applaud, and soon the people around him followed suit.
Zhang Wan looked at Yu Chucheng, and the moment their eyes met, there was pity in her eyes, like the warm spring sun, and a smile spread across her face.
Thanks to Yu Chucheng's guidance at the time, she was able to get out of the vicious circle she had created for herself.
Although the cost of treatment is very high, Duan Huaijin has never given up. How could she retreat because of the pain of treatment?
This was the first time Zhang Wan participated in an art exhibition after her recovery. Yu Chucheng came specially to support her. After walking around the exhibition center twice, rumbling thunder suddenly came from outside the exhibition center.
"Oh, it's going to rain. After this rain, the temperature in Kyoto will drop several degrees."
"Do you have an umbrella? Let's go early while the rain doesn't get any lighter."
“Which is your favorite piece today?”
“There are so many wonderful paintings, but my favorite is the freshmen, the colors used are really bold.”
Yu Chucheng followed the crowd out of the venue.
He called the driver, "Is there an umbrella in the car? I'll be at the gate soon, please come and pick me up. It's raining and I can't get to the parking lot. Yes, right here at Gate No. 1, I..."
Yu Chucheng walked out of the door, and when he saw the person slowly walking up the stairs, all the words were stuck in his mouth.
"No need, just drive the car back." Yu Chucheng said, then hung up the phone and stared at Duan Huaijin who walked up with an umbrella.
Duan Huaijin was wearing a black coat, and the ring pendant under his neck was particularly eye-catching.
During his four years in college, he participated in many competitions and won many awards. He graduated with amazing full marks. Many companies offered him olive branches, but he rejected them all. He started from scratch and resumed his career in his previous life.
During this period, some people said that he had the support of the Yu family and that he relied on the Yu family's help.
But Yu Chucheng knew how many nights he had stayed up until dawn behind this, and no matter how busy he was, Duan Huaijin would go back to sleep with him.
Today, Duan Huaijin has shed the last bit of student spirit he had in college. In the hazy rain and fog, he looks exactly like the one in Yu Chucheng's memory.
"Didn't they say the company was very busy?" Yu Chucheng clenched his hands and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
Duan Huaijin walked to the platform with Yu Chucheng and nodded slightly, the mist on his brows dissipating, "Today's work has been dealt with, I'm here to take you home."
