Lu Kai returned the kiss symbolically and released Liang Jia.
Fearing he might lose control, Lu Kai rested on the shore for a while before taking the woman back to the clinic.
The aunt was waiting in the ward. She saw the video Liang Jia sent. In the past few months, Lu Kai's emotions had stabilized and he had become kinder to Liang Jia. The aunt was happy for Liang Jia.
She casually replied, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, sir."
On the way, Liang Jia packed an oyster omelet for her aunt. She was able to persevere until now thanks to her aunt. Even during the time when Lu Kai treated her badly, her aunt still took good care of her.
The car arrived at the clinic's parking lot.
Lu Kai unbuckled his seatbelt and pinched the woman's chin with one hand: "Give me a kiss."
Liang Jia tapped the man's cheek: "Get down, or I'll miss you."
"Mmm." Lu Kai released her.
After escorting Liang Jia upstairs, the man went straight home.
"Sir, your letter." A servant brought over a white envelope.
He opened one layer and then another; after tearing off two layers of paper, he saw the photo inside.
Lu Kai was shocked.
The man locked himself in his study and began smashing the table frantically.
——
At night in Yushui Bay.
Rong Yan and Fu Jingsheng returned from watching a movie.
Fu Jingsheng checked the time; there was still an hour before He Wei got off work.
The man had made a reservation at a restaurant.
"You're allowed to get drunk tonight," Rong Yan said, putting her arm around her husband's waist. "Later, I'll go out for a late-night snack with Baihe."
"I won't allow you to drink too much." Fu Jingsheng cupped his wife's face in his hands, enunciating each word clearly, "Do you hear me?"
Xiaobaihe came out of the living room and saw the two people being affectionate in the yard. She said, "Don't worry, I promise I won't give my sister any alcohol."
Rong Yan quit.
"Well, I'm in a good mood, so I want to drink until I drop. Besides, I'm quite well-behaved when I'm drunk." Rong Yan said the last three words very softly.
"You feel guilty, don't you? Lily, keep an eye on things," Fu Jingsheng instructed.
Late at night, at a popular night market.
Rong Yan, Shen Xingzhi, and Xiao Baihe found a barbecue stall and sat down.
Shen Xingzhi ordered a pitcher of beer.
As Rong Yan was about to pour herself a glass, Shen Xingzhi stopped her, saying, "This is for me alone."
"Xingzhi, what are you doing?" Rongyan asked, holding the empty cup.
Shen Xingzhi gulped down a large glass of wine, and tears soon streamed down her face.
"Sister Xingzhi." Xiaobaihe hurriedly handed over a tissue.
Rong Yan moved to a different spot, blocking Shen Xingzhi's view: "Hey, stop drinking. Buy the plane tickets right now, I'll go with you."
Shen Xingzhi was both sad and cowardly. She wanted to run to Yu Wenhao's hometown, but she was afraid that Yu Wenhao really had someone else by his side and she wouldn't be able to bear seeing it with her own eyes.
The woman had been holding back her emotions for several days, afraid of causing trouble for her best friend, but now she couldn't hold back anymore.
Rong Yan poured her another glass of wine: "Have another one, to give yourself courage."
After downing two beers, Shen Xingzhi burped and said, "Book the plane tickets, let's go right away."
She reached into her bag: "I always carry my ID card with me."
Rong Yan also took out her ID card from her bag: "I carry mine with me at all times, just like you. I'll go with you, Baihe, are you coming?"
"I didn't bring it." Xiaobaihe only brought her cell phone.
"Okay, go back and tell Fu Jingsheng that I won't be coming home tonight." Rong Yan knew that Shen Xingzhi had been struggling with this for the past two days, and was still hesitating about whether to go to the north that afternoon.
Rong Yan advised her to be brave, but Shen Xingzhi agreed readily during their conversation, only to change her mind less than an hour later.
Instead of wasting time internally, it's better to make a trip; whether it's good or bad, there will be a result.
"Ctrip." Shen Xingzhi clicked on it. "The earliest flight is at 12:30. Buy it now. Here's your ID."
Rong Yan watched as her best friend filled in the information on the app and then clicked "buy".
Xiaobaihe took the two to the airport.
Fearing that Shen Xingzhi might change her mind before boarding, Rong Yan sat next to her best friend.
Shen Xingzhi glanced at the time, her palms sweating, and she suddenly had second thoughts: "How about we don't go? I'll just call him?"
Rong Yan quickly grabbed her best friend's arm: "Sit still, we've already bought the tickets, I'll be with you, what are you afraid of?"
Shen Xingzhi was pushed onto the plane by Rong Yan.
Yushui Bay at night.
After parking his car, Fu Jingsheng tiptoed upstairs, assuming that Rong Yan was already home and asleep. He gently turned the door lock.
The man was slightly drunk and staggered. Afraid of the glare of the light, he groped his way onto the bed, only to find it empty. He instantly sobered up, turned on the light, and sure enough, the room was empty, with the blankets neatly folded.
It's already past midnight, why hasn't Rong Yan come back yet?
He wanted to ask Xiaobaihe, but he felt it was inappropriate to knock on the little girl's door in the middle of the night.
Fu Jingsheng called Rong Yan, but the call could not be answered.
Rong Yan's phone is off? Fu Jingsheng turned on the lights upstairs and searched every room, but couldn't find his wife.
Did drinking cause his wife to leave? The man panicked. Could it be that Rong Yan had done something drastic and left again?
Fu Jingsheng couldn't care less about anything else. He went downstairs and knocked on Xiao Baihe's door.
After waiting for Fu Jingsheng for two hours at home, Xiao Baihe was so sleepy that she thought she would come out when she heard the door open, but she fell asleep immediately.
Hearing the knocking, Xiaobaihe and the maid from the next room got up at the same time to open the door.
"Young Master."
"Has Rong Yan not returned?" the man asked anxiously.
Xiao Baihe yawned and slowly came to her senses: "Brother-in-law, I forgot to tell you, my sister went to the north with Sister Xingzhi. Their flight is at 12:30. What time is it now?"
Fu Jingsheng checked the time; it was just past one o'clock. "One o'clock, so she's on the plane?"
"Yeah, they went to find Yu Wenhao. My sister asked me to tell you that I'm sorry, I accidentally fell asleep." Xiaobaihe touched her head.
Rong Yan went to another city overnight and learned of the woman's whereabouts, which put the man's mind at ease.
"Okay, everyone go and rest." He turned and went to the classroom building.
Fu Jingsheng sat on the sofa waiting for news of his wife's arrival.
The plane landed at 3 a.m.
The two stayed at a nearby hotel, planning to go find Yu Wenhao at daybreak.
"Honey, I've arrived." Rong Yan climbed into bed and let Fu Jingsheng know she was safe. Unexpectedly, the man called her right away.
"Honey, have you found a hotel yet?"
"You're at the hotel, why aren't you asleep yet? I decided to come here at the last minute and didn't have time to tell you, you won't be mad at me, will you?" Rong Yan's words instantly eased Fu Jingsheng's dissatisfaction.
I was originally going to ask her if I should send a message to let her know where she was going, but I ended up worrying about her. Now that I'm putting myself in her shoes, I realize that Rong Yan has it tough too. If it weren't an emergency, why would she have gone there so suddenly?
"I'll be relieved once you've landed. Okay, get some rest." Fu Jingsheng's voice was gentle. "Tell me in advance when you're coming back, and I'll come pick you up."
Rong Yan was half asleep when she was startled by Shen Xingzhi's shouts before dawn and jumped off the bed.
Shen Xingzhi sat in front of the dressing table with the desk lamp on, occasionally letting out a soft "ah".
"Xingzhi." Rong Yan's hair stood on end, and she called out softly.
