Chapter 238: Early Love at the Age of 27
Chu Yao sent him downstairs and took a walk on the green path in the community.
This feeling of not being able to have a relationship at home and having to secretly date outside really feels like puppy love...
It really makes up for the regret of not having a premature love relationship when I was seventeen!
When the path was almost at the end, Qin Jiahuai suddenly turned around, hugged Chu Yao, rested his chin on the top of her head, one hand tightly clasped her waist, and the other hand stroked her long hair.
Chu Yao buried her head in his arms, unable to see anything, she could only feel him gently stroking her hair.
She asked curiously, "Qin Jiahuai, why do you like to rub my head like this since I was a child?"
"Your hair is so fluffy and feels so good."
"Then I won't wash my hair for seven days next time, so that your hands will feel slippery and greasy."
"..." Qin Jiahuai's voice was filled with laughter. "You are a beauty. Beautiful women's hair is not greasy. Even if you don't wash your hair for three years, it will still be fluffy and soft."
While Qin Jiahuai was talking to her, he slowly ran his fingers down her hair.
Until it fell to the position of her coat pocket, he gently took out the mobile phone from her pocket without her noticing.
The moment the screen lit up, a message popped up:
——"Thank you grandma for the ginseng tea. See you tomorrow. I'll be waiting for you."
Of course, I also saw who sent this message.
Qin Jiahuai froze.
Chu Yao noticed his change and tried to break free, but he suddenly pushed her back into his arms.
The force was so strong that it almost made her unable to breathe.
"Qin Jiahuai, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong?" He spoke in a low voice, his mood unclear. "You're quite capable. You actually found a new boyfriend."
“…” Chu Yao raised her head in his arms and met his gaze. Her eyes, which were always calm, were now terrifyingly dark.
Chu Yao was a little confused about him.
Sometimes his calmness is real, and sometimes it is just the calm before the storm.
Chu Yao silently took her phone back and whispered, "There are many complicated reasons behind this. Besides, when he confessed to me that day, I only said I was considering it. I haven't agreed to choose him, nor have I agreed to choose you..."
Qin Jiahuai's smile didn't reach his eyes. "I worry about your food and sleep every day, and I clean up your messes. Even when I was a child, I was like a cow and a horse for you now...but now you give another man a chance. What? Am I really your father?"
Chu Yao looked guilty and remained silent.
Qin Jiahuai sighed silently and gently pinched her jaw: "Now, explain it to him clearly, okay."
Chu Yao hesitated for a long time, then lowered her head and said, "I hadn't thought about everything between us at that time. You know, you're even calmer now than before. No matter how I try to test you, you don't seem to care about me..."
"And I didn't remember everything about him and me at the time. If I had remembered all the grudges we had since the first edition, I would never have allowed him to get close to me."
"But in his current state, from his perspective, he and I have no grudges against each other. He has been pursuing me diligently for so long, and when I finally decided to give him a chance, because I suddenly remembered everything about you, I was going to..."
She said a lot, but Qin Jiahuai couldn't listen.
She wanted to continue explaining the reason, but she inexplicably felt a sense of pressure...
She simply admitted her mistake directly: "I was wrong, I'm sorry."
Qin Jiahuai smiled. "It's not your fault, it's the legal system's fault. When I join the Ministry of Justice, I'll add a note after Article 1041 of the Civil Code, which states that Chu Yao can legally have two husbands. Okay?"
Chu Yao was stunned: "Ah? Can you do this?"
"..." Qin Jiahuai couldn't help but pat her on the butt, "You're quite looking forward to it."
Chu Yao put her hands behind her back and rubbed them. "Actually, you don't need to worry too much about what happened between him and me. When you successfully stopped those thugs from breaking into houses as a child, it would definitely have a significant impact on me and grandma. There's no such side storyline in the new version. It's just tomorrow night."
Qin Jiahuai couldn't pretend to be calm anymore!
"Tomorrow? I can't accept it for even a second! Now, immediately! Say goodbye to your backup!"
He directly used Chu Yao's mobile phone to find Chen Yanbai's contact information and called him.
His voice soon came from the other end: "Hey, Yaoyao, what's wrong?"
Chu Yao was silent.
Qin Jiahuai pinched her chin with his fingers and urged: "Speak."
Chu Yao took a deep breath and whispered, "I'm sorry, we still can't be together. My ex-husband has something on me, and I can't break up with him..."
Seeing Qin Jiahuai's displeasure, Chu Yao quickly added, "Of course, it's not just because of the evidence. I have a deep relationship with him as well..."
While they were talking, Chen Yanbai seemed to be talking to someone over there, and he seemed very anxious.
I could vaguely hear a few words: "vital signs weakened", "just these two days"...
After a while, his voice came from the phone again, a little more suppressed than before: "Sorry, Yaoyao, what did you say just now? I didn't hear it. The doctor came over to talk to me just now."
"You go ahead and do your work, we'll talk when you're free." Chu Yao hung up the phone.
She looked at Qin Jiahuai and said something she hadn't said just now: "His father is in the terminal stage of lung cancer and may die in the next two days. That's why I asked grandma to make him ginseng tea to make him feel better in his final stage."
"Oh, and there's one more thing... When he gave me that little bear ten years ago, he said something that completely reversed the image of him in my mind."
Qin Jiahuai asked: "What did you say?"
Chu Yao: "He called himself a jerk and said he was leaving next semester and told me not to be with him... Mainly because he was in a very mature state at the time, and he felt deeply guilty towards me... But he didn't do anything to me at the time. I don't know where his guilt came from."
strangeness……
Qin Jiahuai thought again about the conversation he had with Chu Yao when he was a child, and it seemed like there was someone else who was revising the past.
But how did he do that? Could it be that he also possessed something beyond the dimension of time?
Furthermore, his only influence on the past so far was the incident where Teacher Chen was framed for pushing Teacher Wu down the stairs. However, none of the people involved were his teachers, and they had little to do with him, so why would he do such a thing?
Qin Jiahuai hesitated for a long time before raising his hand to rub her head: "Leave it to me."
-
Early the next morning.
Hospital.
Chen Yanbai didn't sleep the whole night last night, watching his father's breathing become slower and slower, sometimes pausing for a few seconds.
But as daybreak approached, his condition seemed to improve, his breathing became more normal, and he had more strength to speak.
Maybe it's time for a last gasp.
He wiped his father's face and hands, lowered his head, and spoke in a low, hoarse voice: "If I could go back in time, I would definitely advise you to smoke less. Half a pack a day, you'd be surprised if you didn't get lung cancer."
