Chapter 404 Extra: Lu Yunxiao's Spring Dream (Too Late)
In March, the spring is bright and beautiful.
The orange flowers in the sanatorium are blooming.
A patch of white flowers exudes a strong fragrance, attracting many bees and butterflies.
The weather was nice, so Mrs. Lu went out for a walk.
Asked Aunt Lin, "Has Yun Xiao not replied yet?"
It is inconvenient to communicate with the island, so we can only write letters.
"It should be soon." Aunt Lin comforted her.
The letter was written by Aunt Lin's daughter-in-law. With this job, Aunt Lin has money to treat her daughter-in-law. The doctor said that medical science is becoming more and more advanced now, and chronic leukemia can be maintained by taking medicine.
My daughter-in-law has only a junior high school education. Influenced by Comrade Jiang Yi, she reads books and studies, and also wants to go to high school and take the college entrance examination.
The letter was written according to what Old Lady Lu read out, and it was about the old lady's health and some interesting things about the nursing home, telling her grandson not to worry. It also introduced a certain nurse who had a gentle personality and asked if he could meet her when he came back.
Xiao Guozi also mentioned it, because Xiao Guozi came to see her last month and brought a lot of supplies with Jiang Yi. I heard that things are expensive and difficult to buy later.
So, Jiang Yi was also mentioned.
"Jiang Yi is pregnant. I heard it's twins."
"Jiang Yi is pregnant, I heard it's twins..."
On an island reef in the South China Sea, far away from the inland, when Lu Yunxiao saw these words, he felt as if his heart was hit hard, and a dull pain spread.
Pregnant, she was pregnant again.
Although he knew it was a matter of time, he didn't expect it to happen so soon. He took a deep breath and walked out of the camp. There was a cloudless sky outside and the blue sea spread out in front of him.
Endless.
It has been more than three months since I was discharged from the hospital. Thanks to everyone's hard work day and night, the ocean monitoring station has finally been built.
The mission of the troops is to protect the monitoring station and safeguard the property security and territorial integrity of the motherland.
Because the South China Sea is rich in oil resources and marine food chains, the huge wealth makes people jealous, and several small countries nearby are competing to reclaim land nearby.
At this moment, his heart was like the sea, empty and swaying, and nothing could fill it.
In fact, he went back on the day Jiang Yi got married.
He was even quicker than Ye Ming and the others. He gave the red envelope to grandma and set off before daybreak.
When he arrived in Yuncheng, he first went to the prison to see Su Wanqing.
Because the informant in the prison told him that Qiu Xiao, Jiang Yi and Nie Can had been there one after another.
He wondered what they talked about.
There is another thing, how did Su Wanqing have those memories.
Su Wanqing probably didn't expect to see him, and there was a happy smile on her face, which made her haggard face a little more colorful. However, no matter how you looked at it, it couldn't be repeated with the girl you saw for the first time.
Is this really the Su Wanqing he knows?
The love I had for her six years ago has turned into a vague mist, so absurd and ridiculous.
"Yun Xiao, are you here to see me?" Su Wanqing quickly straightened her prison uniform, sat opposite him, and looked at him with a smile.
Lu Yunxiao knew that he looked cold. "You asked Jiang Yi to come to you. What did you say to her?"
The smile on Su Wanqing's face disappeared.
So, he did it for Jiang Yi.
Ironic, ridiculous. "How do you know?"
"I told you that your every move is under my sight. I know Qiu Xiao came to see you, and I also know what you said to her."
But when Jiang Yi talked to her, he was not there and didn't hear it.
"I see. Are you afraid that I might harm Jiang Yi?"
Su Wanqing laughed at herself, her tone surprisingly calm, "Yun Xiao, tell me, how did you fall in love with Jiang Yi? You clearly liked me before."
"What's the point of saying this now?"
"I just want to know." Su Wanqing said, "I want to know where I lost?"
He thought to himself that he didn't know when it all started. "Maybe it was on our wedding day when she drank for me, or maybe it was when she held a megaphone and shouted that she loved me, or maybe it was even earlier, when I first saw her in the water."
At that time, he still liked Su Wanqing and felt that she was an intruder who was trying to drive the person in his heart out, but he just refused to admit it.
She was like a banshee.
She was so beautiful and passionate that he didn't dare to get close to her for fear of being seduced by her.
"But then you treated me so well, giving me money, a house to live in, and helping me when I had problems. Why? Was it just because of Xiaofeng? I felt you were affectionate to me on several occasions."
"I took care of you in the beginning entirely because of Xiaofeng. Later, when we got along, ask yourself if you took advantage of this to drive Jiang Yi and I apart."
He was remorseful. "Of course, it's my own fault. I didn't see my heart clearly and didn't value her and the child. It's reasonable for her to be angry."
"Su Wanqing, I've already gotten over you."
His tone calmed down, "Even if you can't see clearly in the beginning, you should know about the next thirty years. If I was interested in you, why wouldn't I be with you?"
Su Wanqing started crying.
Yes, in those thirty years, Li Meizhen and herself created many opportunities, but he did not waver.
"Do you know what I hate most about you?" Su Wanqing said, "You didn't divorce Jiang Yi even after she died. You buried her in the cemetery you bought, and the name "wife Jiang Yi" is written on the tombstone.
I thought Jiang Yi was dead, and I finally saw the light of day, but you destroyed my last hope."
"You are living in your own fantasy." He sneered, "You know what you did in those thirty years. When I went to see Jiang Yi for the last time, was it you who asked someone to hit me with a car?"
Su Wanqing said: "It's not me, it's your mother."
"What did you say?" He was shocked, but not shocked. Li Meizhen had been preventing him from being with Jiang Yi.
"Your mother bribed Dr. Yang from the hospital and found out about Jiang Yi's condition. She also asked the doctor to hide it from you. Jiang Yi has depression.
She was very happy when she knew that the hospital informed you that Jiang Yi was in critical condition. She was worried that you would see Jiang Yi and inspire her fighting spirit, or find a good doctor to treat her, so she asked someone to stop you from going to the hospital.
Lu Yunxiao clenched his fingers, feeling infinitely sad. He originally wanted to go see his mother, but now there was no need to go.
"How do you remember those things? You're dead?" he asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
Su Wanqing looked at him, "Have you ever heard of a carbuncle attached to your bones? Jiang Yi and your grandmother always say that I am the carbuncle attached to your bones. If the bone it is attached to is gone, can the carbuncle still survive?"
Looking at her sticky eyes, Lu Yunxiao just felt sick and wanted to vomit, "You are really a lunatic."
"There's someone crazier than me. You know who it is.
After you died, I could have lived a muddle-headed life for a few more years, but Nie Can kept attacking me. Not only did he suppress my career, he also caused Sun Ye to lose his job and his wife to divorce him.
Later, he disappeared and I heard that he was sold to northern Myanmar.
It’s not over yet. In the end, Nie Can asked my mother to come out and testify, revealing that Su Shengqiang was my father.
This is the most shameful thing in my life.
My son, career, reputation, all gone in a flash. Nie Can tore off my last veil of shame and ruined my reputation. In the end, I tried to burn him, but ended up killing myself. That man was a madman. "
"I see." Lu Yunxiao was shocked. "I should thank Nie Can."
"So now he has Jiang Yi, and you have nothing." Su Wanqing laughed at him, and also laughed at herself, "God has his own way, and no one can escape it."
Lu Yunxiao let the pain spread endlessly in his heart, "You finally said something right."
His expression became even colder. "Don't even think about telling anyone."
Su Wanqing felt a pain in her heart. "I won't, don't worry, because I know no one will believe me. They will just think I'm crazy. I will keep this secret until I die."
Moreover, there are eyeliners all around, so there should be more than one.
If she told anyone, she would die the next day.
"I don't want to die yet. I've hurt my own son. I feel sorry for Sun Ye. I want to see him grow up."
Su Wanqing begged, "Yun Xiao, he was so young and couldn't tell right from wrong. I was the one who instigated him. During those thirty years, he had nightmares all the time, and he always called me, 'Mom, no, I don't want Xiao Guo to die. I was wrong, it wasn't me. He was also condemned by his conscience. But it was all my fault, he was only five years old. The retribution is on me, let him live well. I beg you."
Lu Yunxiao felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He did not answer and stood up woodenly.
Just as he was about to leave the interrogation room, Su Wanqing suddenly said loudly,
"That time at the Yuncheng Hotel! Yunxiao, I lied to you that time. You were drunk at the time and didn't do anything to me. When you were drunk, you even called out for Jiang Yi. I was unwilling to give in, so I lied and said I had sex with you and took the bracelet you gave to Jiang Yi. It's all my fault. Go explain it to her, maybe she will forgive you."
He was fixed there.
My brain felt like it had exploded, a bloody mess.
The reason that made him afraid to face Jiang Yi and take Su Wanqing to the north turned out to be a lie.
But it's too late.
Whether this happened or not, it's too late.
Jiang Yi is already married, and today is their wedding day.
He came out without telling the doctor. He was not fully recovered yet and he staggered heavily, having to hold on to the wall to keep himself standing.
"Captain Lu, are you okay?" Someone asked him and he stumbled out.
He went to the door of the state-owned hotel opposite the teahouse, and the wedding banquet was almost over.
Guests came out one after another.
He took a look from a distance.
Jiang Yi also came out, holding Nie Can's hand. The two looked at each other, and from Nie Can's lip shape, it seemed that he called her "wife".
The woman looked at him, smiled and called out "husband".
At that moment, he finally understood Nie Can's feelings back then.
The pain in his chest continued to swell, making it hard for him to breathe like a tide. He had an urge to walk over and pull Jiang Yi over, "Don't marry him, come with me."
But why should he do so? He had lost the qualifications long ago.
Even if I hadn't had sex with Su Wanqing, it wouldn't change anything.
He could only turn around and leave silently.
With so much loss in my body, my heart is in so much pain that it cannot be any more severe.
After recuperating in the hospital for more than a month, he went to the South China Sea to replace another comrade before the Spring Festival, allowing him to go home to visit his wife and children.
Haven't been back once until now.
Jiang Yi didn't say a word, of course it was impossible. She didn't even know if she had opened his red envelope.
Maybe she didn't care at all and let others take it down.
