Yuchi Lei had a severe headache, but his eyes were fixed on Mu Ran.
After he learned about her injury, he began to wonder if there was another reason for the explosion, even though... the original investigation had pointed to her.
He couldn't wait for the results of the investigation and was eager to hear what she had to say.
The last time they brought up this topic, Miaomiao interrupted them. But when he asked her again, she readily admitted it and even provoked him even more.
Mu Ran looked at Yuchi Lei, his eyes that were so eager to know made her feel complicated.
Before, she had always wondered why he looked at her with such hatred, why he kept saying that she owed him, and even gnashed his teeth and said that he would pester her to death.
She only knew about the explosion after he asked her, and she was sad that he was convinced from the bottom of his heart that she was involved.
But this time, she didn't want to provoke him or hurt herself just to vent her anger.
"Let's talk later!" She raised her hand to turn off the water. "You deal with it first. I'll wait for you outside."
Mu Ran wanted to thank him for her brother's matter. She was very touched by his protection of the person who was harassing her, but this was not Country A, and there were many things that could not be done according to one's own will.
Mu Ran wiped herself quickly and walked out.
Yuchi Lei had no time to tidy himself up at this moment. He shook off his wet thick coat, wiped his wet hair hastily, and followed him out of the door.
This is the guest bedroom. She spends most of her time here since she moved in, unless... he needs her.
All those times when they hurt each other, after knowing that she had been injured and even nearly died, regret surged like a tsunami.
"Answer me..."
"No."
It's not 'Do you think I'm you?', it's not 'What do you think?', but really... No.
Yuchi Lei hugged her excitedly.
In fact, he knew that from the moment he realized he almost lost her, this answer seemed unnecessary.
He only needed her to say 'I didn't do it' so that he could convince himself to forget about it.
"Ranran..." He called her name excitedly and hugged her tightly, but at this moment he saw the suitcase placed in the corner.
"Where do you want to go?" He panicked and grabbed her wrist tightly.
He was so emotional that his headache became even worse and he almost couldn't stand.
"My brother is back. He's going to stay in City D for a while. I'm going to stay in Xiaoyuer's apartment for a few days."
Mu Bai?
So, she took the initiative to send him a message today?
Brother Mu Ran took a deep breath.
"Thank you for my brother's matter."
Thanks?
Didn't she always believe that what happened to her brother was his plan?
"I misunderstood you before. It's my fault." Mu Ran explained, "Don't worry, I will abide by the conditions I promised you. I will just stay in Dong for a few days."
“…”
His conditions?
Yuchi Lei's body swayed slightly.
He saved Mu Bai, and she stayed by his side?
That was just his excuse to keep her by his side!
But in the end...it seemed like a real deal.
"Ranran, it's not like that." He held her arm and explained, "It's not a deal, it's not an exchange, let's just be together!"
…
After Mu Bai returned to China, Gu Xiuyuan accompanied him for a few days. When they returned to Bishui Bay, Ji Shuyu was telling stories to the two little ones, and their grandmother was leaning on the rocking chair by the window, looking at them with a smile on her face.
This scene is very heartwarming and also heartbreaking, because grandma's health is getting worse and worse.
"Dad~"
As soon as the two little guys saw their father coming back, they opened their little arms and rushed over to him.
"Wait until dad changes his clothes before coming to accompany you."
Gu Xiuyuan quickly took a shower and changed his clothes. He first said a few words to his grandmother, and then brought the two little kids over.
"Have you been good today?"
"Yes, yes!"
The two little guys nodded, and then pestered their father to tell them stories.
Old Mrs. Gu leaned back in the recliner, looking at her grandson and little grandson, her eyes revealing reluctance to leave.
"Grandma." Ji Shuyu held the old woman's hand and sat down beside her.
Old Mrs. Gu raised her dry but gentle hand to stroke her granddaughter-in-law's hair and smiled gently, "It's okay."
Gu Xiuyuan coaxed the baby while Ji Shuyu sent grandma back to her room.
When she was in her bedroom, Gu Xiuyuan was standing at the window, wondering what he was thinking about.
"Xiuyuan?"
Hearing his wife's voice, Gu Xiuyuan turned around.
"Is grandma asleep?"
Ji Shuyu nodded, then hugged him.
She knew why he was in a bad mood.
Grandma's health is getting worse and worse. The police have already investigated Gu Bin's case and the procedures for handing over the body have been completed. It will be the funeral soon.
"It's okay." Gu Xiuyuan raised his hand to rub his wife's hair, then hugged her.
Ji Shuyu didn't say anything, but wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, silently telling him: You still have me.
Gu Xiuyuan gently kissed his wife's forehead.
In fact, he was just in a complicated mood. Since he had never had it, he was not too sad about losing it.
Gu Bin's funeral was simple. After being cremated in City D, he was taken directly back to Yuncheng.
Only a few of Gu Xiuyuan's friends attended the funeral.
Ji Shuyu accompanied Gu Xiuyuan back to Yuncheng and attended the funeral.
Yuyuan
It's winter now, and Yuncheng is colder than D City.
She turned up the temperature in the room and prepared some simple side dishes, hoping that he would at least be warmer when he came back.
While preparing dinner, Ji Shuyu's cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, but there was no sound on the other end of the call.
"Hello who?"
The silence on the other end of the line could almost be described as dead silence; not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Ji Shuyu felt a chill on the back of her neck.
"Hello?"
When Gu Xiuyuan came back from outside, he saw that Ji Shuyu's face was a little pale, so he took a few steps forward.
"Wife, what's wrong?"
Ji Shuyu looked back at him and said, "Nothing much, just a strange phone call."
She didn't talk much, thinking she would just ask someone to check it out later.
"Phone?" Gu Xiuyuan looked at the unfamiliar number.
"Yeah." Ji Shuyu nodded.
The call was odd, but she wasn't too worried. Huo Tianhao had fled abroad illegally, and the police were pursuing him. The investigation into Gu Xiu's case was in its final stages and would soon be submitted to the procuratorate. All the relevant personnel had been apprehended, and she had someone to protect her when she went out, so she should be fine.
"It's okay, I'll ask people to pay more attention." Putting down the phone, she held Gu Xiuyuan's face, which was cold from the wind, and then hugged him tightly, wanting to warm his heart.
On the other side, Gu Xiu was held in solitary confinement in a cell.
He came back here again.
Every time, my hopes are dashed just when I am one step away from success, time and time again!!
