Chu Yunling slept for about three hours.
When I woke up again, it was almost dusk.
She opened her eyes hazily and saw an inky figure sitting beside the bed, with a gloomy black air exuding from his body, making the entire ward as cold as an ice cellar!
Chu Yunling was so frightened that she trembled reflexively, and all her sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
She slightly widened her eyes and looked at the face clearly:
"Wen... Yu? Why are you sitting here without turning on the light?"
Wen Yu realized belatedly that he seemed to have scared Chu Yunling.
"Sorry, I was thinking."
As he spoke, he frowned again.
"Are you scared?"
He leaned forward hastily to turn on the light.
Chu Yunling propped herself up with her arms and sat up, feeling both angry and amused.
"You have to turn on the light to think, and you have a dark face."
In other words, Chu Yunling was used to it.
If it were someone else, they would probably switch directly to a suspense or horror theater!
Wen Yu shook his hand helplessly:
"sorry."
"I don't mean to blame you."
Chu Yunling pinched the bridge of her nose and looked Wen Yu up and down, feeling that he seemed to have something on his mind.
She lowered her tone and took the initiative to ask:
"Did something happen?"
Wen Yu didn't say anything.
Or it's hard to say.
Chu Yunling came up to him with a smile.
A mother who can give birth to four good-looking children must have super strong genes.
Chu Yunling is a gentle beauty with the charm of the Jiangnan water town. Her eyebrows and eyes are like those depicted in a detailed painting, and her temperament is natural.
When she smiled and moved closer, Wen Yu not only did not feel the signs of time on her, but instead began to doubt whether his behavior of indulging in work day and night all these years was right.
After all, it is well known that staying up late is the biggest culprit of aging.
When Wen Yu came to his senses, his fingers had already touched the smooth and stretched corners of Chu Yunling's eyes.
Chu Yunling, who is over 40 years old, doesn't even have a single wrinkle under her eyes!
Wen Yu once again felt a strong sense of crisis!
Speaking of which, Chu Yunling is also extraordinary.
In the past nine years, her ability to guess Wen Yu's thoughts has not diminished at all.
Chu Yunling said half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"If you touch the corners of my eyes like this, I'll start to suspect you're envious of my skin!"
Wen Yu looked a little uncomfortable.
The instantaneous revelation was captured by Chu Yunling.
She gradually opened her mouth:
"No way? Are you really envious?"
There is a term in psychology called the broken window effect.
The old saying goes, if you break the jar, you'll break it.
This is very suitable to describe Wen Yu’s mood at the moment.
He no longer concealed it and simply told Chu Yunling everything he had heard in the balcony.
Even though he tried his best to add "I'm just listening", "I won't take it to heart", "other people's words are not important to me" to his own feelings...
But anyone with a little emotional intelligence knows this.
When a person repeatedly emphasizes that he doesn't care, it means he cares very much.
Chu Yunling's eyes widened and she looked at Wen Yu in disbelief.
Wen Yu felt very uncomfortable being stared at.
"...Never mind. Are you hungry? I'll make a phone call and arrange a meal for you."
Wen Yu made an excuse to get up and leave.
Chu Yunling quickly grabbed the corner of his clothes:
"Wait, wait! Don't leave so quickly!"
This action and conversation left both of them stunned.
Because they both recalled the time when they were in love more than 20 years ago.
At that time, Wen Yu was often embarrassed by what he said, and Chu Yunling would grab the corner of his clothes and tease him with a smile.
Now in middle age, he has experienced the love of youth again.
Soon, Chu Yunling brought the topic back to the original topic:
"I'm not hungry. Let's talk about the question first! Wen Yu, are you particularly concerned about getting older?"
Wen Yu's body shook.
He was at a loss as to what to do with Chu Yunling's straightforwardness, and at the same time, he was still bothered by what he had just heard.
I thought to myself, there can be no secrets in front of my wife anyway.
Wen Yu simply sat back down, facing Chu Yunling's gaze, and nodded gently:
"Yeah, I care."
Chu Yunling's heart felt as if it was pricked by a thin needle.
Wen Yu probably didn't notice and continued:
"I care about people saying I'm older than you, I care about people thinking we're not compatible, and I also care about... the nine years we lost."
Chu Yunling pursed her lips, but couldn't bear to laugh at Wen Yu.
Staying in a place with abundant spiritual energy for a long time will indeed slow down the aging process.
What's more, Chu Yunling stayed in the spiritual land, where she ate fairy dew, fairy flowers and magical herbs every day.
All the impurities in the body have been eliminated, and the appearance does not look much different from nine years ago.
Looking at Wen Yu again, he had been frowning for years, and there was a faint mark between his eyebrows.
There are a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but they seem to be the marks of his life experience...
But no one would ever guess that he was only in his twenties or thirties.
Wen Yu looked like a person in a high position of power, so naturally, there was an age gap between him and Chu Yunling in terms of appearance.
You know, when the two were studying in the same university, everyone thought they were a perfect couple, a match made in heaven!
This is also what Wen Yu cares about most!
Chu Yunling felt that this problem could not be ignored, so she enthusiastically proposed to tinker with some beauty products.
During these years in the spiritual land, she did not just spend her days guarding the years. She also read through the ancient ancestral books that she had not had time to read before. She learned more cases and had more ideas, which she just needed to put into practice.
After Chu Yunling told Wen Yu her idea, Wen Yu still felt a little uncomfortable.
It was not until Chu Yunling pulled him aside and said that she wanted him to help experience product research that he reluctantly agreed.
Speaking of this, we can't help but mention Chu Yunling's career.
Back then, she was the most sought-after genius doctor in Yanjing City!
How many powerful and wealthy people are lining up to see her!
At that time, no one dared to say that Chu Yunling was not worthy of Wen Yu. They all felt that the Wen family was extremely lucky to have such a daughter-in-law.
Now, the older generation has disappeared, and Chu Yunling's reputation has gradually faded. She has become a rich Cinderella in the eyes of others, as if Chu Yunling's life value is realized by getting married!
Chu Yunling's ambition for career and desire to save the world were both agitated. As they chatted, the topic turned to the next arrangements.
After being away for nine years, Chu Yunling was a little impatient to get back on track.
The topic gradually deviated and had long since deviated from its original intention.
Wen Yu looked at Chu Yunling who was talking nonstop, and felt at ease in his heart.
Perhaps he felt that at this moment, the distance between their souls was the closest.
What appearance, it is false.
Chu Yunling suddenly clicked her tongue:
"Seclusion or something like that is not suitable for us after all."
Wen Yu:
"Um?"
Chu Yunling smiled slowly:
"I mean, maybe we should change our plans. At least we can't be passive all the time!"
