Chapter 457 Long Time No See, Brother Ayu
Nangong Xueyao was unaware that Xiaolu had betrayed her. She had calmed down a bit and posted a Weibo message.
Nangong Xueyao V: [The innocent will clear themselves!]
She only sent four words, mainly because she didn't know what to send.
First, I'll make it clear that I've been framed, and then I'll figure out what to do next.
She had someone buy her the fastest flight back to City A.
Nangong Xueyao felt that the best thing to do was to go home and cry to Xu Li and the others about her grievances.
She believed that their years of affection hadn't been wasted, and that they would definitely trust her more than Ah Chu!
Fortunately, Nangong Xueyao bought her plane ticket in the early morning and traveled discreetly, so she wasn't blocked at the airport.
As for Achu, she's still sleeping soundly in her villa halfway up Green Lake Mountain Villa!
While others can't sleep, she can.
But after falling asleep, Achu started dreaming.
She dreamed that she returned to her adoptive parents' home.
She was probably eight years old that year.
It's very cold in winter, and it's snowing there.
Little Chu braved the snow to go out and buy groceries. Today, her mother only gave her ten yuan, and her father said he wanted to eat meat.
Little Chu thought he was very clever. He bought pork belly for ten yuan and picked up vegetables that others didn't want at the market. By doing this, he managed to gather enough vegetables for the day.
Adults usually don't stop her from picking up vegetables because she's a child; they might even give her some less-than-fresh produce.
Bringing meat and vegetables home, Xiao Achu was so cold that her head felt numb and her ears felt like they were about to freeze off.
Little Chu envied Lin Ling, who lived downstairs from her. Lin Ling had a thick hat and earmuffs, but Little Chu didn't.
She didn't have a warm down jacket, only a thin, ill-fitting cotton coat.
As soon as she reached the apartment building, Xiao Achu stepped on the melted snow and fell flat on her face.
Little Achu struggled to get up, but a pair of warm hands lifted her up from the ground.
She looked up and saw a very pretty woman with a gentle smile.
"Little friend, did you hurt yourself?"
Little Chu shook his head blankly, then nodded.
Her gaze shifted, and she saw a young man standing next to the aunt.
This young man is so handsome! He has fair skin, delicate features, and a special kind of charm.
Just like... just like a prince straight out of a fairy tale!
Later, Xiao Achu learned that the gentle aunt and the handsome young man were the new neighbors who had moved in next door.
The gentle aunt's surname is Ning, and the young man's name is Ning Zhiyu.
Aunt Ning is an exceptionally gentle person, even more like a mother than Xiao Achu's mother.
Because when her father hit her, her mother would only hide to the side, watching her with those timid and guilty eyes.
Aunt Ning, however, would tenderly apply medicine to her wounds and would angrily call the police when she learned that she had been beaten again.
Dad won't let her eat, but Aunt Ning will give her food.
She was forced to kneel outside the door as punishment, and Aunt Ning would take her home to spend the night.
Brother Ayu is also very kind. When the kids in the neighborhood and her classmates bully her, he will appear and chase them away.
The young boy looked at the filthy little Chu with disdain: "Are you stupid! They bullied you, why didn't you fight back?"
Little Chu lowered her head and twisted her fingers as if she had done something wrong: "There are too many of them, I can't beat them..."
Young boy: "If you can't beat them, just run away, you idiot!"
The young boy, while disliking Xiao Achu, began to wait for her every morning to go to school together and wait for her to come home together.
Little Achu happily followed Brother Ayu around like a shadow.
With Brother Ayu around, no one dares to bully her anymore!
Later, however, Ayu's brother went to junior high school, and they went to different schools.
Although he would go to her school gate whenever he had free time and would often check if anyone was bullying her, there were always times when he couldn't take care of her.
But Xiao Achu didn't care much; the bullying was just a normal part of her life.
Later, Aunt Ning was in a very serious car accident and never came back.
I heard that Ayu's brother was also taken away by his biological father.
Brother Ayu left in a hurry; they didn't even say goodbye.
"Brother Ayu... Brother Ayu..."
"I'm here, I'm here. Ah Chu, wake up..."
A gentle and caring male voice rang in her ears, and a wave of bittersweetness welled up in Achu's heart.
The sourness went straight to the bottom of my eyes, and tears welled up in the corners.
Achu's eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes.
Through the blurry vision, I saw Wen Zhiyu's familiar face.
"What's wrong with me?" Her voice was a little hoarse, and her head felt a little uncomfortable, as if she hadn't just woken up from a nap.
Wen Zhiyu: "You have a fever. Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?"
Wen Zhiyu woke A Chu up the next morning and discovered that she had a fever.
The day before, Achu had been riding horses and paragliding, and then caught a chill from the night wind.
Of course, ultimately it comes down to Ah Chu's physical condition not being good enough.
"Is your throat sore? Let me get you a glass of water."
Seeing that Achu nodded, Wen Zhiyu got up and poured her a glass of warm water.
Achu sat back on the bed and took the water, drinking it in small sips.
I felt much better after drinking it.
"How long have I been asleep?" Achu asked.
Wen Zhiyu took the cup from her hand and put it aside, replying, "You slept all night and half a day, so it's two o'clock in the afternoon now."
"Are you hungry? I've cooked you some porridge."
Achu nodded again: "I'm hungry."
Wen Zhiyu then went to serve her porridge.
Achu stared intently at his departing figure, gradually merging with the boy in her memory.
Her eyes overflowed with laughter, and her heart was filled with joy.
No wonder Wen Zhiyu went to the mental hospital to become her attending physician.
No wonder Wen Zhiyu said that they had known each other for fourteen years.
So, he was her brother Ayu!
Achu was so tired from sleeping that Wen Zhiyu fed her the porridge spoonful by spoonful.
After she finished eating, Wen Zhiyu put away the bowl and got up.
But then he heard Achu say to him, "Thank you, Brother Ayu."
Wen Zhiyu froze, her gaze towards A Chu filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"You...remembered?"
Achu raised her lips, a smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with tears: "Yes, I remember now!"
When Achu was first sent to the mental hospital, he was really very ill.
Her illness, coupled with the doctor who was bribed by Nangong Xueyao to give her random medications, caused her to lose some of her memories and experience memory confusion.
Quite coincidentally, A Chu had forgotten the part about how she met Wen Zhiyu in her childhood.
Wen Zhiyu had certainly considered that A Chu might suddenly remember him one day.
But when that day finally arrived, he was still pleasantly surprised.
He returned to Achu and looked at her with a smile: "Long time no see, Achu."
Achu didn't say anything, but instead threw herself into his arms.
Wen Zhiyu hugged her as if she were a lost treasure that he had regained.
Achu buried her head in his chest, her voice muffled: "Long time no see, Brother Ayu."
