Chapter 454 May you enter my dreams tonight?
A beautiful, tall woman suddenly spoke up; she was the mayor's assistant.
"Mr. Yan, it's lunchtime now, let's go have lunch first."
Yan Jin nodded and turned to leave.
He bumped right into the two little girls who walked in.
As she walked out, Yan Jin immediately recognized the little girl selling fish.
The other girl wore a mask, had short hair that reached her ears, and wore a faded white dress, but her bust was very impressive.
She was turning her head to the side, talking to the girl next to her, and Yan Jin didn't even see her gaze.
He just walked right past her...
Wen Youyou led her to the statue and introduced it to her with a serious expression.
"This is our town's great hero, Teacher Tang Yin."
“There was a major earthquake here before, and he risked his life to save all the students in his class, including me.”
Wen Youyou's voice was very soft, but it carried an air of utmost seriousness.
"If it weren't for Teacher Tang, I would be dead."
Tang Xiaoya raised her eyes and looked at the tall statue. A nameless sadness welled up from the bottom of her heart.
Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
His fingertips trembled as he gently touched the two characters "Tang Yin" on the stone tablet.
Fragmented images suddenly flashed through my mind.
"Ya Ya, you little rascal, you're teasing your dad again."
"Ya Ya, run..."
She took a sudden step back, pressing her fingertips hard against her temples, her face contorted in pain.
"Sister Jin, what's wrong?" Wen Youyou was startled.
"I... have a bit of a headache."
"Let me help you sit over there for a while."
Tang Xiaoya took a while to recover, and Wen Youyou looked at her with concern, "Sister Jin, are you alright?"
Tang Xiaoya's gaze remained fixed on the statue, and she murmured to herself.
"I... I think I know him."
Wen Youyou was startled.
"Do you know Teacher Tang?"
She then comforted him, saying, "Your second grandfather said that if you keep getting acupuncture, you'll remember soon. Once your face is better, I'll post a missing person notice online so your family can come and find you."
Tang Xiaoya nodded gently.
"Let's go to the mall and buy some clothes." Wen Youyou led her outside.
After browsing for half an hour, Wen Youyou and Tang Xiaoya returned to the fish stall.
Wen Yifan had already packed everything and was waiting for the two of them. He planned to take them out to eat and then go home.
Back home, Tang Xiaoya lay down on her small bed to rest; she was indeed a little sleepy.
With her eyes closed, she was thinking about how to earn some money so she could buy a cell phone and go online to check information.
In the afternoon, Tang Xiaoya woke up and went downstairs, where she saw that Wen Yifan and Wen Youyou had already tidied up the huge fishing net, and Wen Yifan was hanging it on a large rack.
Wen Youyou ran over carrying a small bucket and a pair of iron pliers.
"The tide is out, Sister Jin, let's go pick crabs!"
She looked slightly excited.
“Okay.” Tang Xiaoya followed her.
Large sections of reefs were exposed along the coast, and many children were playing naked in the water, while many fishermen were also gathering seafood with small buckets.
Tang Xiaoya's eyes lit up as she watched Wen Youyou skillfully pick out a palm-sized flower crab from a crack in a rock, and she almost clapped.
"Youyou, how did you know there were crabs there?"
"Look, there are bubbles rising up here." Wen Youyou pointed it out to her, then suddenly pointed to the other side, "Oh, there's a tigerfish over there. Don't touch it, or you'll get stung and have to go to the hospital for an IV drip!"
Tang Xiaoya nodded obediently.
After searching for more than half an hour, Wen Youyou's bucket was already half full of crabs.
By this time, the scorching sunlight had faded, leaving only a gentle red sun on the horizon.
Tang Xiaoya glanced back casually and saw two black luxury cars parked by the roadside at the village entrance, and then saw three people walking towards the beach.
A tall man walked in the middle, accompanied by a male assistant and a beautiful woman.
It was Yan Jin and the others.
He was tall and had an outstanding presence, talking to the person next to him as he walked.
As they drew closer, Tang Xiaoya's eyes narrowed slightly.
This man is so handsome.
Moreover, he seemed to be the man in her dream, the man who kissed her in the dream.
Tang Xiaoya felt her face flush slightly. She lifted her leg and walked towards them without thinking.
She followed them slowly, at a distance, about twenty paces away from him.
She was wondering whether she should go up and ask him if he recognized her.
But now that I have injuries on my face, will he recognize me?
She paused, a little hesitant, and slowed her pace.
The beautiful woman next to him turned around casually, then smiled and said something.
"Mr. Yan, you are so popular. You attracted the attention of all the young ladies as soon as you appeared, and there was even one following behind you."
Yan Jin turned around.
I saw the girl standing on the wet sand, backlit, and all I could see was that she was wearing a mask and had short, neat hair.
Yan Jin recognized her at a glance; she was one of the two little girls who sold fish at noon that day.
Tang Xiaoya's heart skipped a beat when she saw the man stop and look back at her.
She instinctively raised her hand to take off her mask, but stopped abruptly when her fingertips touched the fabric, afraid that the wound on her face would frighten him.
"Sister Jin!"
Wen Youyou came running over, panting, carrying a bucket.
"You scared me to death! I thought you had run away. Let's go back."
When Tang Xiaoya turned around to look again, the group of people had already continued walking forward.
"oh."
Tang Xiaoya nodded, a sense of inexplicable disappointment welling up inside her, and slowly followed Wen Youyou back...
That evening, Yan Jin took a private plane directly from Suzhou and rushed back to Luoyang overnight.
Because a suitable kidney donor has been found for Zhang Xiuyi.
It was donated by a mysterious organization, and the surgery is scheduled for the next two days.
The next morning, Yan Jin opened the door to the ward and went to see Zhang Xiuyi in person.
At this moment, Zhang Xiuyi was lying in the hospital bed, looking much thinner. When she saw Yan Jin, she was overjoyed.
"Mr. Yan, you've arrived?" She looked towards the door again.
"Where's Xiaoya? Why didn't she come to see me?"
Zhang Xiuyi's expression suddenly turned grim, and she abruptly asked, "Tell me honestly, has something happened to her?"
Yan Jin calmly put down the fruit basket in her hand.
"Auntie, Xiaoya is alright."
"She's filming abroad, and the production team is pushing her hard, so she's too busy to leave."
He spoke slowly, and each word was clear.
"You'll see her soon after your surgery and recovery."
"I don't believe it!" Zhang Xiuyi's emotions instantly surged.
"This girl hasn't contacted me for over a month!"
“She used to call me every week! Rain or shine!”
She struggled to sit up, her eyes frighteningly red.
"Something must have happened to her! I'm not going to have the surgery! I'm going to find my Xiaoya!"
Yan Jin remained silent, but simply took out her phone and tapped the screen a few times with her slender fingers.
A recording was released.
The girl's voice was tired, and there was a hint of coquetry in it.
"Mr. Yan, could you please take care of my mother for me? I'll go back as soon as I finish filming this drama. Remember to hire the best private caregiver for her; I'll pay for it... Ugh, I'm exhausted, I have to go now."
Zhang Xiuyi was stunned.
That loud and boisterous tone, that familiar voice—it really was her Xiaoya's voice.
The excitement on her face slowly faded, replaced by hesitation.
"She...she's really busy, and nothing's happened?"
Yan Jin put her phone away and put it back in her pocket, her expression completely calm.
"She's filming abroad, where there's a complete lockdown. To keep up with the schedule, she's so busy every day that she barely has time to breathe."
He added calmly.
"She'll be back in two weeks."
"Please rest assured and have the surgery."
He glanced at his watch.
"She's sleeping right now. How about I call her and you speak to her yourself?"
As Yan Jin spoke, she actually made a gesture as if to dial a number.
Zhang Xiuyi quickly stopped her.
"Don't!"
"Don't disturb her! Let her sleep a little longer."
Yan Jin put down her phone, her voice softening slightly.
"Then you should listen to the doctor's advice and get plenty of rest."
"I'll be here with you for surgery tomorrow."
"Okay, okay... Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yan."
Zhang Xiuyi finally felt relieved and nodded.
She looked at the tall, handsome man in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then asked another question.
"I know it's a bit abrupt, but I still want to ask a question..."
"Mr. Yan, do you like our Xiaoya?"
Yan Jin was stunned for a moment.
A few seconds later, he looked at Zhang Xiuyi seriously and answered solemnly.
"Yes, I like it very much."
"She's fine."
Zhang Xiuyi breathed a long sigh of relief, and a slight smile finally appeared on her face.
It's enough that they like each other, as long as it's not just one-sided love on the girl's part.
"This girl has a bad temper and I've spoiled her since she was little, so please be more tolerant of her."
Yan Jin nodded, her gaze deep.
"Don't worry."
“In front of me, she can be capricious, cry, be willful, and even be unreasonable.”
“I love every single one of them.”
Zhang Xiuyi couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.
This is the kind of tolerance that lovers should have.
"Thank you, Mr. Yan."
“Auntie, from now on, just call me Ajin.” He suddenly said.
"Okay." Zhang Xiuyi smiled.
She liked this future son-in-law more and more the more she looked at him.
After leaving the hospital, Yan Jin did not return to the Yan family's old house.
He went straight back to the hotel.
In the spacious presidential suite, he sat alone on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
He held his phone, his fingertips trembling, and tapped on another recording.
There was only one very soft sentence inside, spoken by Xiaoya.
"Yan Jin, I like you so much. Husband, I love you."
Both of these recordings are fake.
He found a top-notch technical team to extract Xiaoya's voiceprint and synthesize it.
The purpose was to allow Zhang Xiuyi to undergo surgery with peace of mind.
But hearing that familiar voice, so ingrained in his very bones, his heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, aching painfully.
He opened his chat with her.
On the screen, the last sentence was sent by her.
Yan Jin, I miss you so much.
He stretched out his fingers, his cold fingertips touching the keyboard, and typed back each word one by one.
Baby, where are you? I miss you so much.
May you come into my dreams tonight?
His eyes were very red.
He shook a cigarette out of the pack, lit it, and took a deep drag.
A person who is disappointed can never get through the lonely night.
Three days later, Zhang Xiuyi had received a healthy kidney transplant. The surgery was successful, and she is slowly recovering.
Lianhua Town was hit by a major typhoon, and the house that my second grandfather had built on the mountain was blown away.
Fortunately, Wen Yifan had already brought him down the mountain.
Their stone houses were sturdy, but the waves were high, and seawater poured in directly.
The whole scene felt like the end of the world.
Wen Yifan's heart tightened, and he wrapped himself in his raincoat and was about to go outside when he said, "No, the fishing boat will be washed away in a moment. I'll go and reinforce it."
Wen Youyou rushed up and grabbed him.
"Brother, the boat is gone, it's gone. If you go out now, you'll die."
Second Grandfather also came over and shouted, "Wen Yifan, you stop right there and don't go out."
Wen Yifan said, "Second Grandfather, please take good care of them."
Tang Xiaoya also ran downstairs. "Brother Yifan, don't go out. The wind is too strong. If the boat is lost, I'll bring you another one."
She suddenly said something.
Wen Yifan was startled. "You've remembered who you are?"
Tang Xiaoya nodded, "Of course, I'm a rich person."
Wen Yifan frowned slightly. Rich people don't say they're rich.
Still a silly little fool.
"Hurry up, all of you go up." Wen Yifan said, and suddenly opened the door.
"Splash!" Seawater rushed in, knocking all four of them down.
Tang Xiaoya struggled in the seawater, choking twice. She struggled with her hands and feet, shouting,
"Yan Jin, save me, Yan Jin..."
She screamed in terror, a flood of memories rushing into her mind...
The river was flowing too fast, and there were whirlpools underwater. Her hands were tied, and she was sinking deeper and deeper. She was about to die.
Xia Ran, that poisonous woman...
"Jin-meimei." Wen Yifan rushed over, picked her up, and held her tightly in his arms. The seawater only reached their waists.
Tang Xiaoya slowly opened her eyes, her gaze clear and bright...
