Chapter 28



The unconscious Su Xinyi was taken home and properly accommodated a few days ago.

Tong Airu was afraid that her daughter's heartbeat might stop at any time, and she didn't want to miss the time she could spend with her daughter, so she insisted on installing life-support equipment at home. She even got up several times at night to check on her, taking care of her as carefully as if her daughter had returned to her infancy.

Wen Xinzhu brought her newly adopted daughter to visit Tong Airu.

"Children are a matter of fate. Don't force it. Take care of yourself." Wen Xinzhu comforted his friend.

"I know, I know. Many people have advised me to let go, saying that Xinyi is suffering. But, what if I don't insist and miss the chance for Xinyi to wake up? How can I meet her in the underworld?"

Tong Airu's daughter has been the most beautiful girl in the homes of her relatives and friends since she was young, but unfortunately her IQ has always remained at a certain age.

Wen Xinzhu shed a few tears. She looked at the sleeping Su Xinyi and suddenly said, "Ai Ru, Xinyi looks a little rosier than the last time I saw him. Didn't you notice?"

"Really?" Tong Airu spent most of her time with her unconscious daughter except when she was sleeping, so she didn't notice any changes.

Wen Xinzhu hasn't visited Su Xinyi for half a month.

She once again sketched the sick girl with her eyes closed, and said with certainty, "Really, she looks much better. Maybe this is a sign that Xinyi is about to wake up."

Tong Airu was overjoyed and felt that her daughter looked better than before.

"Now that you mention it, it seems so. Xia Xia, you haven't seen anything new for a month. What do you think?"

Duan Chuxia quickly glanced at Su Xinyi and then looked away. She didn't dare to stare at Su Xinyi for a long time, even though she was unconscious.

Duan Chuxia felt guilty, "It's hard to tell, but Mom and Aunt Tong said yes."

Tong Airu looked at Duan Chuxia's complexion and found that she was not sick. Su Xinyi looked better, so she said with concern, "Xinzhu, I know a great doctor who treats mental illness. Why don't you take Xia Xia to see him? No matter how serious the mental illness is, it's better to see a doctor as soon as possible."

Duan Chuxia wanted to cry but had no tears. She was not mentally ill at all. Han Jingyuan was too cruel and ruthless to her.

Wen Xinzhu had no words to express her pain. If she argued that Xia Xia was not mentally ill, then Xia Xia would go to jail.

She said, "I'll find you when I need you. By the way, have you received the letters from Yan and Meijing? And Youyou, will they come back for the New Year this year?"

When it comes to her son and daughter-in-law, Tong Airu is not very satisfied either.

"During the summer vacation, Meijing brought the nanny and Youyou back to stay for a few days, and said she would not be back after the Chinese New Year."

He won’t come back, he won’t come back to see his parents. Doesn’t Su Congyan even want to see his twin sister? Doesn’t he need to see her if she’s in a coma?

Tong Airu was heartbroken. She didn't say anything about the son forgetting his mother after he got a wife. After all, her son had grown up and would spend his whole life with his wife.

But he had known about his sister's situation since he was a child, and he had promised that after his parents passed away, he would take over the responsibility of taking care of his sister.

But Tong Airu was really worried about her daughter-in-law's cold attitude.

"Hey, I originally wanted Congyan to fire the nanny and let me take care of Youyou, but Xinyi got into trouble and I can't take care of him anymore."

Wen Xinzhu said, "You can ask the three of them to reunite in South Island. Your nanny is Meijing's cousin, so she knows her background well and can be trusted."

Duan Chuxia couldn't help but shudder when she thought of Shen Meijing's cousin, the woman named Xu Fenyue.

During the summer vacation, she hesitated whether to end her arranged marriage with Han Jingyuan. Before Han Jingchen and Han Xinxing were abducted by the kidnappers, Shen Meijing brought the nanny and Youyou back to stay for a while. On the day Shen Meijing left, she came to the Su family to see her friend and Youyou.

After waiting for several minutes, Shen Meijing finally opened the gate. She was very panicked and said that Su Xinyi had fallen down the stairs.

Su Xinyi fell at the stairs in the living room, still breathing. Duan Chuxia was anxious to call for emergency help, but Xu Fenyue held the phone and begged her not to call.

"Su Congyan's mother didn't like Meijing in the first place. Meijing didn't take good care of her elder sister-in-law and caused her to fall. Meijing's life will be even more difficult in the future. Xia Xia, you are Meijing's best friend, you have to help her."

Duan Chuxia is a nurse, and she knows that every minute of delay will put Su Xinyi in greater danger.

She was in agony and asked with a pale face how she could help.

Xu Fenyue said, "We bought the train tickets for 2pm. It's 1pm now. Meijing and I will take the kids to the station. Wait ten minutes, no, wait twenty minutes, pretend you just walked in, and then call."

In just twenty minutes, Shen Meijing could be cleared of the accusation of failing to take good care of her.

Twenty minutes also made Su Xinyi miss the precious time for emergency treatment, and he has not woken up until now.

Xu Fenyue said that Su Xinyi slipped and fell down the stairs. After coming to her senses, Duan Chuxia kept thinking that if Su Xinyi really fell by herself, according to the personalities of Tong Airu and his wife, they would not vent their anger on their daughter-in-law.

If we delay time, could it be possible that Su Xinyi was actually pushed down the stairs by Xu Fenyue or Shen Meijing by accident?

After the divorce, Duan Chuxia ran to Nandao, confronted Shen Meijing, and asked her the truth, "If you don't tell me, I will tell Aunt Tong that you delayed me for 20 minutes before calling an ambulance."

She knocked on the door for several minutes, and she didn't know how many minutes had passed in the room before she knocked on the door.

Shen Meijing saw that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she had to tell her the truth, saying that Su Xinyi was accidentally pushed down the stairs by Xu Fenyue.

"Why?" Duan Chuxia was puzzled and couldn't figure out the reason.

Shen Meijing's face turned pale. "I can't tell you the reason, but I can guarantee that Aunt Fen did it for my own good. She did it unintentionally. It was definitely a mistake."

Duan Chuxia chose to continue hiding this secret for her friend.

When she saw Su Xinyi in a coma today, her inner guilt was awakened again. Even though Su Xinyi was unconscious, she did not dare to look directly into Su Xinyi's closed eyes.

Tong Airu noticed that Duan Chuxia was emotionally unstable. Thinking that Han Jingyuan and Su Ying would be coming soon, she was afraid that this would further irritate Duan Chuxia.

She suggested: "Han Jingyuan said he would bring Su Ying to see Xinyi, but he didn't say what time. Even if we wait until then, what will happen? Xia Xia, you should go back with your mother to rest, so as to avoid embarrassment when you meet later."

Duan Chuxia blurted out, "Aunt Tong, Sister Xinyi is also uncomfortable like this, you might as well let her go, it will be a relief for both you and her."

Tong Airu felt heartbroken, and the little sympathy she had for Duan Chuxia disappeared.

"You are not new here, how do you know she doesn't want to live? I think you are really mentally ill, you should go home and have a good rest."

Tong Airu stood up to see the guest off, while Wen Xinzhu apologized repeatedly and tried to make amends for Duan Chuxia.

"Airu, young people think differently from us. Why not listen to their opinions? Ask Han Jingyuan and Su Ying later and get their suggestions."

Tong Airu remained silent. When she opened the door, she saw Han Jingyuan and Su Ying standing outside the courtyard gate, preparing to knock on the door.

"Han Jingyuan has mentioned to me several times that when they were young, Sister Xinyi always saved her pocket money to buy soda for him and Su Congyan."

Su Ying took the hot towel from Tong Airu, traced Su Xinyi's eyebrows and eyes bit by bit, wiped his arms and palms, and then transferred the supernatural power into Su Xinyi's body bit by bit.

——I'm sorry for making you wait until the last moment. Wake up. You can wake up in any body you want.

Tong Airu looked at Han Jingyuan's second-married young wife, with her gorgeous facial features. Even the bouquet of flowers on the bedside table paled in comparison to her pretty face.

She is beautiful and kind-hearted. Because of her, Duan Yu and his team rescued several children from human trafficking gangs. I heard that Ji Pingliang's son was found.

Such a nice girl, no wonder Han Jingyuan likes her.

Tong Airu could see that Han Jingyuan liked Su Ying. One cannot hide the love in his eyes. He always looked at Su Ying when she lowered her head, with the corners of his mouth raised and a smile in his eyes.

Tong Airu had never seen such a look of liking in a girl before, and she was happy for Han Jingyuan, so her liking for Su Ying increased a lot.

She asked, "Xiao Su, am I wrong to insist on keeping Xin Yi by force? Will she blame me for not letting go and making her suffer?"

Su Ying shook her head. "It's better to live a miserable life than to die. I don't know what Sister Xinyi thinks. If it were me, I would want to survive."

Tong Airu was affirmed and was delighted. She asked Han Jingyuan, "Jingyuan, what do you think? You know your sister better than Congyan. If she is still conscious, what do you think she would think?"

Han Jingyuan was silent for a long time, then opened his mouth and closed it again, repeating this several times.

Then he said: "I respect your decision."

Su Ying used a large amount of supernatural powers to treat Su Xinyi, ensuring that she would wake up. The supernatural powers cleansed her meridian cells. Even though she was unconscious, Su Xinyi was bursting with vitality.

Tong Airu could see it all. "I think we can hear new ideas in our conversation. Do you think she looks more relaxed now than before?"

Su Ying nodded and agreed: "Sister Xinyi will be very happy to hear that we didn't give up. Aunt Tong, we will leave now. Goodbye."

——Goodbye Su Xinyi, maybe we will never see each other again. If Su Xinyi wants to wake up in her original body, there is nothing wrong with her taking back what originally belonged to her.

After coming out of the Su family, Duan Chuxia had not left yet. Su Ying raised her chin and said to Han Jingyuan, "Your ex-wife, can I step aside for a while?"

"Need not."

Han Jingyuan held Su Ying's soft, white hand tightly with his big hand, refusing to let go. He walked side by side to a place three or four steps away from Duan Chuxia and stood there.

His tone was not very good. "Don't forget that you are a mentally ill patient now. What else do you want to say?"

Duan Chuxia's eyes turned red. Why didn't Han Jingyuan give her a chance to speak properly? But she had to speak today no matter what, otherwise she might not have the chance to speak in the future.

She said, "Han Jingyuan, when I first came to South Island and was waiting for you at the guesthouse, why didn't you go?"

Han Jingyuan laughed in anger, "Why should I go? In my heart, you are not even as important as a hair of Su Ying. Why should I make Su Ying angry because of you?"

These words were so hurtful. Su Ying could feel that Han Jingyuan was in a very bad mood at the moment, so bad that he was too lazy to hide his emotions.

Duan Chuxia burst into tears. Wen Xinzhu felt very distressed and went up to her to persuade her daughter to be more open-minded and stop looking for Han Jingyuan.

"Mom, six years ago I didn't like Han Jingyuan. Do you know why I proposed to marry him by agreement?"

"Mom can't figure it out either. Are you willing to tell me?"

"Because of jealousy."

Duan Chuxia regretted it, "Because I was jealous of Sister Xinyi. Since I was a child, as far as I can remember, Han Jingyuan only played with Su Xinyi. I was jealous at that time. Why did Han Jingyuan play with a fool and not with me? Am I not as good as a fool?"

"When I was older, he was still following Su Xinyi. One day I saw him buy movie tickets, so I asked him to watch the movie with me, but he ignored me. In fact, I had already seen the movie, but when I saw Han Jingyuan accompanying Su Xinyi to watch it, I wondered if that idiot could understand it. If Han Jingyuan is capable, he will marry that idiot as his wife in the future."

"Later, Aunt Ruan came to my house and wanted to get married. I didn't want to go to the countryside, so I thought, I'll marry Han Jingyuan first, and then get rid of him. See, what are you so proud of? I was the one who didn't want him first."

"You, how can you be angry? Marriage is not a joke."

Wen Xinzhu felt that her daughter's thoughts were extreme. "Xin Yi is a fool. Why are you competing with a fool?"

"I don't know. I'm just jealous of your endless tolerance for a fool."

"When we really had to leave, I realized that I had liked Han Jingyuan from a very early time."

But Han Jingyuan never liked her from the beginning to the end.

Duan Chuxia ignored Wen Xinzhu's dissuasion and chased after Han Jingyuan and Su Ying, shouting, "Han Jingyuan, stop."

Han Jingyuan didn't even stop and was too lazy to say anything to her. It was meaningless.

Duan Chuxia ran a few steps and stopped in front of Han Jingyuan and Su Ying, with an abnormal blush on her face, regardless of anything.

"That time when I went to South Island, I really just wanted to tell you something. What I wanted to tell you is that Su Xinyi was pushed down the stairs by the nanny in Shen Meijing's house."

"I don't know what to do, I don't know who to talk to, I can only think of you, but you didn't give me a chance to speak, Han Jingyuan, you didn't give me a chance to speak."

Duan Chuxia kicked the ball back to Han Jingyuan's feet with a sense of relief.

Su Ying really wanted to slap her, and she did. She raised her thin white arm and slapped her from left to right and from top to bottom. There were crisp slapping sounds, and Duan Chuxia's right face turned red.

Duan Chuxia trembled, "Why this time? Why did you hit me again?"

"Because you are stupid and bad. Duan Fan is the captain of the criminal investigation team. Since Su Xinyi was pushed down the stairs by the nanny hired by Shen Meijing, you should report it to him and find Han Jingyuan. Do you want Han Jingyuan to take back your crazy punishment?"

If Duan Chuxia's testimony is to be used, she cannot have a mental illness.

Duan Chuxia wants Han Jingyuan to make a choice. For the silly sister whom he has favored since childhood, what choice will Han Jingyuan make? Will it make Su Ying feel wronged?

Su Ying saw through Duan Chuxia's tricks, so how could she let Han Jingyuan choose?

When it comes to acting, she's not bad either.

She pushed the shocked man away and sneered, "Tell me, is it to protect your ex-wife from going to jail that you asked her to pretend to be mentally ill? Han Jingyuan, you still have feelings for her, why are you pretending to be deeply in love with her? Do you think I can't see through it?"

"I don't……"

Han Jingyuan reacted very quickly. Su Ying did it on purpose. She wanted Duan Chuxia's testimony and also wanted Duan Chuxia to accept legal sanctions.

She wanted to send Duan Chuxia to jail personally. From now on, people who knew him or not would all say that Han Jingyuan was a man of affection and righteousness, but his remarried wife would not give in and insisted that Han Jingyuan's ex-wife go to jail.

Although it is understandable, it is Duan Chuxia who is in jail. Time will always smooth out the truth. Before long, everyone will say after dinner that Su Ying was too mean and did not leave Duan Chuxia any chance to survive.

Han Jingyuan shook his head, "Su Ying, no."

Su Ying didn't care what those insignificant passersby thought. She continued, "Don't want anything. Don't kill your ex-wife. You're dreaming. I'm going to the police station to report that Duan Chuxia reported me as a spy and pretended to be mentally ill to avoid legal sanctions. I want an explanation."

"Do you want me to go to jail?" Duan Chuxia blinked, a tear fell from her eyes, and asked Han Jingyuan.

Su Ying snorted, "It's me who wants you to go to jail."

She turned to look at Han Jingyuan, "I'm going to the Public Security Bureau now, do you want to go?"

Han Jingyuan saw that Su Ying had made up her mind, sighed, and held her hand tightly, "Let's go together, I know the inside story better than you."

The two turned around and saw that Tong Airu could not bear it anymore and Su Xinyi was pushed down the stairs by the nanny hired by her daughter-in-law, and she slid down to the ground against the gate.

Turning his head again, he saw Duan Fan coming over at some point, looking at them quietly.

Is he chasing after me and wanting to claim me as his sister?

Su Ying smiled coldly: "Captain Duan came at the right time. Duan Chuxia pretended to be mentally ill. I want to report the case. Do you have handcuffs? If you have, arrest her."

Duan Fan felt bitter in his heart and mouth.

Su Ying knew. She knew that she was Duan’s biological daughter, right?

She did it on purpose. She didn't want to admit it at all in her heart, right? That's why she could cut the hearts of Duan's family without caring.

Let’s draw the line, let’s draw the line. The Duan family has raised Duan Chuxia to be lawless, she deserves it.

Duan Chen walked up to Duan Chuxia woodenly, took out handcuffs from his waist woodenly, and then handcuffed Duan Chuxia's hands woodenly.

Wen Xinzhu panicked and tried to push her son away but couldn't, so she slapped Duan Fan on the face, head and shoulders.

"You actually tortured your sister. Your sister was what you wanted, but you didn't like her when she was born. Now you want to handcuff her. Do you have a heart? Are you a human being?"

Duan Fan let his mother vent her anger, but his eyes were on Su Ying. This sister was what he wanted, but he never protected her even for a day.

Duan Fang’s teeth were almost broken from biting.

Su Ying thought, why should she look at her? She was just a lonely soul that traveled through time from another world, not the daughter of the Duan family. It was none of her business that Duan Yu was beaten to death by her own mother.

Duan Chuxia suddenly said, "Mom, please stop hitting me. I am not your biological daughter. Dad knew it from the beginning, and my brother knows it now, too."

Wen Xinzhu suddenly stopped slapping Duan Fan's hand.

As soon as Duan Yan opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was very hoarse. "When did you know?"

When did you know that you were not the biological daughter of the Duan family?

Duan Chuxia thought about it, but there was no need to think about it, as she always remembered the nightmare.

"When I was about four years old, I was kidnapped by a woman. I was so scared at the time. I thought I had met a human trafficker and was afraid that I would never come back."

"I was blindfolded and taken to a place. I heard a woman coughing. I heard the trafficker say, 'Sister Zhen, I brought Xia Xia here. Take a look at her before you close her eyes.' Then the coughing woman said, 'Fang Fang, never let her know that I am her biological mother. Just let her live a good life in the Duan family.' The trafficker agreed, and then I was sent back."

Duan Chuxia was sent back to the Duan family's doorstep, and then she had a high fever that wouldn't go away. The Duan family thought that Duan Chuxia was just lost, frightened and having nightmares, and didn't think of her as a human trafficker.

Even Duan Chuxia herself thought she was having a terrible nightmare.

"After Han Jingyuan and I divorced, I was in a bad mood. I saw Dad going out alone, and I thought he was going to the Han family to ask for reconciliation for me. I was quite looking forward to it, so I followed Dad and saw him go to the mass grave in the suburbs. I heard... I heard Dad say that his biological daughter was in that small grave."

She was so panicked that she didn't care about anything and ran to South Island to find Han Jingyuan. She wanted to talk to him, to rely on him, and to ask Han Jingyuan to teach her what to do.

But Han Jingyuan ignored her.

After saying all this, Duan Chuxia felt that the handcuffs on her hands were not so heavy anymore.

She looked up at the sky. The sky was very blue and the clouds were very white. It was such a beautiful, boundless sky. She would not have the chance to look up at it for at least a few years.

She looked at Su Ying and smiled, "Su Ying, you didn't send me to jail. I chose to serve my sentence in jail."

I will be relieved after paying off my debts, including the debt I owe to Su Xinyi.

Wen Xinzhu could not bear the truth that the daughter she raised was not her own, and that her biological daughter was buried in a mass grave long ago. Her heart beat too fast and she slowly fell down.

Duan Fan did not drive the police car today, and his mother would not bring quick-acting heart pills when she came to visit her friends. Seeing that his mother was about to die, Duan Fan rushed to the Su family and called an ambulance.

Su Ying walked to Wen Xinzhu and looked at her original mother coldly.

We cannot let Wen Xinzhu die at this time. When a person dies, his debts are settled. We cannot let the body she is using now be subject to rumors and resentment.

She gave Wen Xinzhu, whose face was as pale as paper, some supernatural powers, and Wen Xinzhu's blood pressure and heartbeat gradually returned to normal. When Duan Yu finished his call and rushed out, his mother was heartbroken but was able to stand up on her own.

Su Ying had consumed too much of his supernatural power today, his face turned pale, and his legs felt weak when he stood up.

Han Jingyuan helped her up, and noticing that she was not in good spirits, he asked, "Why don't you go back and rest first?"

Su Ying struck while the iron was hot and said, "Let's go to the Public Security Bureau first."

She pointed at Wen Xinzhu who was confused and didn't know what was going on. Wen Xinzhu had a heart attack and felt extremely uncomfortable, but he was able to stand up and had no idea what was going on.

Su Ying said, "Captain Duan, your mother's face looks ruddy. She must be faking a heart attack. If she is faking, let's go back to the Public Security Bureau and do business."

Duan Chuxia was imprisoned. She confessed everything, including the fact that Su Xinyi was pushed. However, Xu Fenyue's motive and reason for pushing Su Xinyi are still unknown.

Su Ying and Han Jingyuan returned home. Han Jingchen, Cancan, and the nanny Fu Yuzhen were cooking in the kitchen.

Han Jingchen was the first to notice through the kitchen window. He ran out with a spatula in hand the moment Su Ying and Han Jingyuan entered the room and asked, "You two won't go out again tonight, will you?"

Gu Zhinan was playing chess with Han Huaishan in the living room. Hearing this, he looked up and said nervously, "Grandpa Han has bought the tickets for tomorrow morning."

Su Ying rubbed Han Xinxing who came over to act coquettishly and said, "Okay, I'll go upstairs and take a shower first."

After being rescued from the cave, Su Ying spent last night in the hospital. This was the first time she returned home with Han Jingyuan.

Han Jingyuan was the same. During the three days of searching for Su Ying, whenever he felt tired, he would lean against a tree trunk to take a nap, then get up to continue searching. Last night he ran between the hospital and the police station, and now that he was home and relaxed, he felt extremely exhausted.

Han Jingyuan followed, "Then I'll go too."

Gu Cancan tilted her little head and urged, "Mom and Dad, please wash together. It will be faster this way."

One, two, three, four... Everyone in the house, young and old, whether cooking or playing chess, all looked at him quietly.

Han Jingyuan realized that there was something wrong with what he had just said. He stopped and turned around to go downstairs, only to meet Han Huaishan's cheerful smile.

The old man was not easy to fool. Han Jingyuan paused for a moment, his face flushed and hot, then turned around and continued to go upstairs.

Upstairs was his room when he was at home. During the three days that Su Ying had been missing, no one had entered the room, and there were still traces of her having lived there before. The only thing was the pajamas she changed into when she went to sleep, folded casually on the pillow.

The desk lamp on the window desk has been moved to a different position and height. Is Su Ying sitting here reading or writing?

Han Jingyuan shifted his gaze to the bookshelf. Su Ying had not touched those large volumes of works. He opened the drawer and found that the pen that Su Ying often used was not moved, but the one that she seldom used was in a different place from before.

Opening another drawer, Han Jingyuan touched the stack of letter papers and found that it was a little thinner. It turned out that Su Ying was sitting at this desk writing a letter.

That must have been written before being trapped in the cave. Who would it be written to?

Han Jingyuan couldn't guess. He held the letter in his hands, lost in thought. Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he turned on the desk lamp to shine on the top blank piece of letter paper. There were strong handwriting on it that could be seen through the back of the paper.

I could vaguely make out a few words: "Han Jingyuan, when you see this letter..."

Su Ying came out of the shower and saw Han Jingyuan holding the letter in a daze. When Su Ying decided to wake up Su Xinyi, she wrote a letter to Han Jingyuan, telling him about her time travel. If she disappeared and her original self came back to divorce Han Jingyuan, he would know the reason when he saw the letter.

After she finished writing it, she burned it. When she divorced Gu Chengfeng, she did not give Gu Chengfeng a real reason.

Therefore, if the original person chooses to come back and divorce Han Jingyuan, he also has the right to keep some secrets.

She also didn't expect that Han Jingyuan could see the remaining handwriting on the remaining letter paper.

Su Ying pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Do you want to take a shower now or after dinner?"

Han Jingyuan looked up, bit his pretty thin lips, and raised the letter in his hand, "You wrote to me?"

Su Ying smiled faintly, "I wrote it and burned it. It's nothing important. Don't worry about it."

"I want to see it." Han Jingyuan's fingertips trembled slightly as he held the letter. "Can you recite it out loud? Even if I can't see it now, I still want to see it in ten or twenty years."

Han Jingyuan couldn't help wanting to see it.

Last time, Han Jingchen was deceived by that fake letter, and he really couldn't understand the child's mentality.

Now he understood that he shouldn't have been so harsh on Han Jingchen last time. They all wanted to see it urgently. Han Jingyuan's thoughts were in a mess.

Su Ying took the letter out of his hand and took a closer look. Fortunately, the remaining pen marks on it were messy and only a few unimportant words could be vaguely seen.

She opened the closet, helped the man pick out a set of clothes, and told him to take a shower. "You just said you would come up and take a shower with me, but now there is no chance. Go take a shower by yourself. I'll go downstairs first."

Han Jingyuan closed the door of the room with a "click", locking Su Ying inside. He supported the door frame with one hand, lowered his eyes and looked at Su Ying with a burning gaze.

"Wash it again. There's no rush. I'll lock the door so no one can come in."

Su Ying: ...

She didn't think Han Jingyuan was joking, and the aura around him seemed to be bubbling. If she agreed, she might be carried on the man's shoulders in the next second.

It's rare for Han Jingyuan to take the initiative, but the timing is wrong.

When Su Ying was thinking about how to refuse politely, Han Jingyuan suddenly lowered his head, and the two of them were almost face to face. The warm breath was close to her ears, and the temperature rose suddenly.

Su Ying had a hunch that Han Jingyuan was going to kiss her in the next second, and she was afraid of hurting his feelings if she pushed him away, and if she let him go she would hurt him even more in the future.

At the critical moment, Su Ying instinctively turned her head and motioned Han Jingyuan to look at the window, "Look, whose shoulder is Han Xinxing stepping on to peek?"

Han Jingyuan didn't even look at her, didn't even change his posture, just whispered in Su Ying's ear, "Su Ying, why don't you be selfish?"

"Um?"

Su Ying looked up at Han Jingyuan. She thought she was already very selfish, but why did the eyes of the young and old look at her with light? Was she so irreplaceable to them?

Han Jingyuan stepped back a few steps with his brows lowered, and retreated to the window. Han Xinxing was climbing down the ladder in a panic, and Cancan was holding the ladder for her from below.

Han Jingyuan hurriedly reminded, "Second Uncle won't hit you, just go slowly."

During dinner, Han Jingyuan said nothing. Su Ying listened to the chattering of the children. She was thinking about Su Xinyi and did not praise Han Jingchen for his improvement in cooking skills as she usually did.

Han Jingchen pushed the fried prawns towards Su Ying and asked, "Did you have a fight with my second uncle?"

Su Ying was pragmatic and felt that she and Han Jingyuan had just had a rift, which could be considered a quarrel, so she nodded and said, "Yeah."

Han Jingyuan put down his chopsticks and looked up almost at the same time, "No."

Su Ying looked at Han Jingyuan, and Han Jingyuan looked at Su Ying, and they both changed their words at the same time.

Su Ying: “We didn’t quarrel.”

Han Jingyuan: "It's my fault."

The smile on Han Huaishan's face faded, and he put down his chopsticks. "Han Jingyuan, come with me to the study."

Su Ying quickly persuaded him, "Han Jingyuan hasn't slept well or eaten well in the past three or four days. Grandpa wants to scold him. After dinner, I'll make some tea. You can slowly scold him after your throat is moistened."

The granddaughter-in-law pleaded for mercy, and Han Huaishan's anger subsided. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, then I'll scold you after dinner."

Su Ying put food into Han Jingyuan's bowl, but he didn't say a word and ate whatever was given to him, which made Su Ying feel like she owed him a lot of debt.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Su Ying deliberately said: "Han Jingchen, your performance tonight was not good enough. Look, your second uncle didn't even eat the food."

Han Jingchen was hurt. "How is that possible? It's you and your second uncle who don't get along, and you've lost your appetite from the quarrel."

Su Ying: ...

"No wonder you're the dumbest in the family."

Han Jingchen: ...I don’t dare to talk to anyone casually.

However, after this interruption, the atmosphere became much better. After dinner, little Han Xinxing took the initiative to wash the dishes, Cancan ran to the kitchen to help her sister, and Han Jingyuan and Han Huaishan had just gone to the study when Qiao Lanlan came over.

"Su Ying, the stars are shining, are you surprised to see me?"

Han Jingchen had just delivered tea to the study, and holding the tray, he asked, "Auntie Lan, when did you arrive?"

"I went to see your uncle this afternoon."

Qiao Lanlan had already heard from her cousin Ji Liwen about the rescue situation in the cave, and her eyes were filled with tears.

In her previous life, her eldest cousin was never found and had been locked up in a cave. After the death of that damn Qian Yousheng and the evil Xia Lianfang, she didn't dare to think that her cousin must have starved to death, right?

In this life, he rescued Sheng Qinghe and unexpectedly found his eldest cousin.

In her heart, Qiao Lanlan treated Su Ying as a relative.

She heard that Su Ying was leaving early tomorrow morning, so she hurried over to meet her. "I've asked for a few days off and will leave in a few days. Han Jingchen, your godfather is home alone. Don't forget to send him a portion of the delicious food you made."

Han Jingchen rolled his eyes and said weakly, "I know. I won't let him starve. I won't let him eat cold steamed buns."

"Oh, this godson was not adopted in vain."

Han Jingchen didn't even want to talk to her, so he went out with the garbage bag to take out the trash.

Han Xinxing peeled an orange for Qiao Lanlan and personally put it into her mouth, "Godmother, is your uncle used to the new home?"

It is impossible to get used to it, so he chose the smallest room, hid himself in the darkness, ate when he was told to eat, took a bath when he was told to bathe, and slept when he was told to sleep.

She just didn't say anything until Qiao Lanlan told Chuanbai that she was Su Ying's good friend, good neighbor, and godmother to Xingxing and Cancan. Only then did Chuanbai's eyes start to move and there was a gleam in his eyes.

From beginning to end, Qiao Lanlan never mentioned to Su Ying that Ji Chuanbai wanted to go to South Island. Although her aunt begged her, she felt that Su Ying had no obligation to take care of Chuanbai. Besides, her aunt also told her not to make excessive requests to Su Ying.

Qiao Lanlan kissed Xingxing and Cancan and said, "Your uncle is very good. Godmother will stay with him in Beijing for a few days and then go back to be with you."

Cancan suggested softly, "Godmother, can't you invite your uncle to your house as a guest? There is an empty room in your house."

Han Xinxing looked forward to it eagerly, "That's right, godmother, don't be so stingy. You can let my uncle eat at my house and sleep at your house."

Even Han Jingchen said, "It's just cooking for one more person, it doesn't matter."

Gu Zhinan walked up to Su Ying and knew that if Su Ying didn't say anything, Sister Lanlan would not take Ji Chuanbai to South Island to play.

He said, "Sister, what do you think?"

Although Su Ying would not meddle in the Ji family's affairs, Qiao Lanlan was Ji Chuanbai's cousin, and there was nothing wrong with her visiting her cousin's house. She would not object, but she didn't know whether she would be there when Ji Chuanbai left.

Forget it, let’s leave the mess of afterlife to the living.

Su Ying smiled and said, "Why are you all looking at me? If you want to go, go ahead. You won't be sleeping in my bed anyway. But Lanlan, if you want to bring Chuanbai to eat at my house, you have to pay for the food."

"Su Ying, why are you so nice?"

Qiao Lanlan was pleasantly surprised. She didn't expect that the two little girls were smarter than adults. Yes, she could bring Chuanbai to live at home for a while. This way, she could disturb Su Ying as little as possible and let Chuanbai live with the four children for a while.

She couldn't help but hugged Su Ying and said pitifully: "Su Ying, I regard you as my best friend. In my heart, besides Lao Ding, you are the most important. What about me? Where do I rank in your heart?"

Su Ying: ...

After pushing and coaxing the convulsing Qiao Lanlan out of the house, Su Ying turned around and asked the children, "We are leaving tomorrow morning. Have you packed your luggage?"

Gu Zhinan said: "It was put away before dinner."

When Su Ying went back to the room to pack her luggage, she glanced towards the door of the study.

In the study, Han Huaishan was drinking Pu'er tea brewed by his grandson's wife. Through observing little Han Xinxing climbing the ladder and looking through the window, he thought he had understood the truth behind the quarrel between his grandson and his grandson's wife.

The old man criticized happily, "Young people should be more restrained. I know you two have been separated for more than ten days and you miss each other a lot, but this home is still very unfamiliar to Su Ying. Of course she feels embarrassed. And you are trying to do that before dinner time. It would be strange if she is not angry. Xiao Su has already given you face."

Han Jingyuan pondered the old man's words for a moment, his face flushed instantly, and he was eager to explain, "Grandpa, what are you thinking? No, it's not what you think."

"Alright, alright. I'm your grandpa, and I've been through it too. I've experienced everything you've experienced and haven't experienced. Otherwise, how could there be a father like you? Okay, alright, go back to your room and do what you haven't finished."

Han Jingyuan: ...

When Han Jingyuan reached the door of the room, he heard the chattering of two little girls inside. He pushed the door open and saw that the luggage was half packed. The two little girls took off their shoes and were playing, surrounding Su Ying on the left and right to make a bet.

Han Jingyuan smiled and asked, "What are you betting on?"

Han Xinxing held up a coin and said, "I'm going to bet with Xingxing whether you and Second Aunt took a bath together just now?"

Han Jingyuan's face had a suspicious blush, "So did you bet on it or not?"

Han Xinxing shook his head and said, "I didn't bet on that."

Gu Cancan said: "I bet there is."

Han Jingyuan picked up the five-cent coin and placed it in Han Xinxing's palm, "You win."

Gu Cancan was dejected. "Ah, why don't you take a shower together? Sister Xingxing and I take a shower together."

Han Xinxing was even more depressed than Gu Cancan. "I actually hope Cancan can win. Second Uncle, let me discuss something with you. If you and Second Aunt separate, then Cancan and I will belong to Second Aunt, and my uncle and brother will belong to you. That's it."

Su Ying laughed, "What if my uncle wants to join us?"

Han Xinxing felt sad. "But if that happens, only my stinky brother will be left to accompany my lonely second uncle. That would be too pitiful for both of them."

Su Ying stopped talking.

Han Jingyuan really wanted to reassure the two little ones that he would not be separated from Su Ying.

But he couldn't say it.

He carried the two little girls out of the room and said, "Go back to bed. Uncle and Aunt also need to go to bed."

When Han Jingyuan closed the door, he locked it with a "click" to ensure that it could not be opened from the outside.

"I'm going to take a shower."

"Go ahead." Su Ying didn't even raise her head, picked up a pair of shorts from the **, and threw it based on the feel of the hand, "The top seems to be pressed under the bag, go look for it."

After waiting for a while without any response, the sound of running water was heard in the bathroom.

Su Ying quickened her pace to clean up. When the sound of water stopped, she heard footsteps and the man came out of the shower.

Su Ying rubbed her lower back, turned around and sat on the bed, then lay down. When she raised her eyes, her heartbeat quickened, and she sat up again.

There were drops of water on the strands of hair at the temples of Han Jingyuan's forehead. The water drops followed his firm muscle lines, slid down from his tense jaw, and slid into his trouser waist along his abdominal muscles.

Su Ying's gaze followed the water droplets and stopped at his taut and strong waist and abdomen.

And swallowed uncontrollably.

What does Han Jingyuan want to do?

Su Ying's eyes moved up along the waistline to the Adam's apple. Han Jingyuan swallowed nervously and said, "I didn't find the shirt you mentioned."

Really? If it’s not under the bag, then it must be inside the bag. Did you not find it, or are you deliberately not looking for it?

In the face of such beauty, Su Ying's mind was in a mess, and Han Jingyuan was probably not much better.

Su Ying thought, as long as she was not embarrassed, Han Jingyuan would not feel embarrassed. Yes, that's it.

So, Su Ying said, "You're not cold, so if you can't find it, don't wear it. You can just sleep like this."
