Chapter 44 Uncle, will you come home with me?
Amid the sound of the dripping rain, a slender green figure quietly appeared in the cemetery.
Su Lingyu held an umbrella and walked quickly towards Jiang Yuli.
She had never seen him so lonely before. She even felt as if he was going to perish with the world. He exuded a strong sense of brokenness.
What on earth happened to make such a mature and steady man broken like this?
She tilted the umbrella over his head and said softly, "Uncle, will you come home with me?"
He was soaked, but he vaguely heard the voice he had been thinking about day and night.
Is it an illusion?
Jiang Yuli slowly raised his eyes, and Su Lingyu's face came clearly into his sight.
Not an illusion.
It's true.
He gently hugged her calves, rested his face on her legs, and spoke in a hoarse voice: "Bubbles..."
"Bubble..."
He suddenly realized that he was soaking wet and loosened his grip again.
Su Lingyu's heart ached. "Uncle, you are now tall, handsome, smart, and capable. Mrs. Jiang must be very pleased to see you so outstanding in heaven."
"She wouldn't want to see her precious son catch a cold in the rain!"
baby?
He is not.
No one ever treated him as a treasure.
From childhood to adulthood, everyone in the Shen family only said that he was unlucky. It was because of him that his mother left.
"No one cherishes me..." Jiang Yuli murmured in a low voice.
The rain was so loud that she couldn't hear clearly.
He continued to whisper, as if to himself: "He burned the family portrait."
Su Lingyu still didn't hear this sentence clearly, but she caught a glimpse of the burnt photo at Jiang Yuli's feet.
She understood that Mr. Shen Zeming had come and burned the family photos for his deceased wife.
Jiang Yuli's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs: "He doesn't love me, and he never feels guilty about me... He hates me, he despises me. For twenty-six years, he has been consistent and has never changed..."
He should have gotten used to it.
His father had been indifferent to him for twenty-six years, and the recent insignificant "goodness" was just the most ordinary daily life for Shen Baichuan and Shen Qiao.
Su Lingyu felt sad when he heard this.
She was a child spoiled by her parents and could not imagine how sad she would be if her parents only favored her brother.
Her endurance is far less than Jiang Yuli's.
If she had been sent abroad at the age of eight, she might have become depressed and died in a foreign country.
But Jiang Yuli didn't.
Not only did he survive, he also grew up to be so good-looking, so outstanding, a handsome man, a dragon among men.
He never even told anyone about the suffering he endured abroad.
Gave the Shen family enough dignity.
Jiang Yuli's voice was hoarse: "Chen Qiao said... No one would like someone as cold and heartless as me."
"Don't listen to him! You're very good!" Su Lingyu leaned over and gently stroked his wet face with her palm. "In my eyes, you are not cold at all. You are gentle, careful, and considerate... You are a very good person."
Jiang Yuli's eyes were wet, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.
He raised his hand to cover the back of her hand and asked in a low voice: "Then...will you like me?"
There was uncertainty in his tone, even a hint of pleading.
His hair was wet and stuck to his forehead, and there were water droplets hanging on his high nose bridge. His wet eyes looked like a big dog abandoned in the rain.
What a cute dog.
No--
What a poor uncle.
Su Lingyu was about to speak, but he took the lead: "No... You don't have to answer me now. I don't want your pity and sympathy."
Su Lingyu: "..."
"Then do you want to leave?" She deliberately put on a stern face. "If you don't leave now, I will leave you here in the rain and make you have a fever so that you can see Mrs. Jiang soon."
Jiang Yuli was still stroking the back of her hand fondly, his voice hoarse, "I haven't met her yet~"
"You still have a lot to do. You haven't been in love, you haven't been married, you haven't been a father... You've only lived for 26 years, and there's still a long way to go."
"If he doesn't love you, then don't you love yourself?"
"Uncle, we are not all popular. We can't please everyone."
Jiang Yuli stared at her in a daze.
"Look at me, I'm pretty and have a good personality, but wasn't my ex-boyfriend still disliked me?" Su Lingyu's tone softened, "But you like me."
"Some people hate it, some people like it...it's perfectly normal."
"The Shen family doesn't like you, but I think you're really good, and I want to be with you." She asked softly, "So, will you come home with me?"
Jiang Yuli's heart trembled, as if the huge stone blocking his heart had finally fallen.
He answered hoarsely, "Yes."
He stood up, took the umbrella from her hand, and tilted the umbrella completely towards her side.
He himself was already soaked, so it didn't matter.
But the bubbles cannot get wet.
The two walked down the cemetery path side by side.
"If Zhao Kai hadn't called me, I wouldn't have known you were standing there in the rain like an idiot, refusing to leave!" Su Lingyu muttered softly, "Have you really become stupid?"
"If you become stupid, I won't consider you as my boyfriend. My future boyfriend must be smart."
Jiang Yuli responded in a low voice: "I'll take medicine when I get home."
"You must eat it! To prevent colds!" She nodded vigorously.
Suddenly, she stopped.
Jiang Yuli also stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I haven't talked to Mrs. Jiang yet." She was so focused on him that she forgot whose grave they were in front of.
She turned to the tombstone and said seriously, "Mrs. Jiang, I'm taking your little son home first! Don't worry, I will make sure he takes his medicine properly and won't get a fever and become stupid. He'll come to see you next time!"
Jiang Yuli looked at her profile and finally smiled for the first time today.
Bubble was right, he was no longer at the age where he longed for fatherly love.
What he needs now is power and wealth.
In the parking lot, Zhao Kai saw them from afar and immediately got out of the car with an umbrella.
He silently tilted the umbrella toward Jiang Yuli, and the three of them got into the car one after another.
Jiang Yuli deliberately sat farther away from Su Lingyu, fearing that the moisture from his body would wet her.
Su Lingyu grabbed the thin blanket in the car and said, "Wipe it quickly!"
It was too late, he was completely soaked.
She simply took action herself, covering his head with a thin blanket and kneading it.
Jiang Yuli didn't move, letting her do whatever she wanted.
A few minutes later, the thin blanket was removed, revealing a Jiang Yuli with ruffled hair and a dazed look.
Ahhhhh——
Such a cute Jiang Yuli.
Very different from usual.
Very contrasting.
Look at her soft heart.
Su Lingyu handed him the thin blanket: "Wear it, don't catch a cold."
She turned to the driver's seat again: "Zhao Kai, drive faster!" After a pause, she changed her tone, "Forget it, forget it, let's go slower. Safety first."
Jiang Yuli was wrapped in a thin blanket, which was originally prepared for her, but he used it first.
"A-choo!"
He couldn't help but sneeze.
Su Lingyu suddenly became nervous: "It's over, it's over, uncle, you've caught a cold!"
