Alone in a foreign land
The lights and candles in the room flickered gradually, and there was a faint sound of rain outside the door. Su Yun moved slightly to the door. The fine rain mist melted into the dark night and became blurred. He could only see that everywhere he touched was wet and difficult to walk, and the sound of rain hitting leaves was heard all around.
Crackling, crackling...
A cold wind carrying raindrops blew by, and Su Yun shuddered. His hairs instantly stood up and he greeted the shivering hostess.
Su Yunwei hurriedly folded his arms and rubbed them, trying to generate heat on his own.
When the door was closed, the sound of rain could be heard muffled, as if someone was crying.
Su Yunwei took a step forward and sat down beside the desk. His eyes stayed on the open medicine box. Things that might be useful and things that might not have been used had been counted and neatly stacked inside.
A huge sense of melancholy hung in the muddy, damp air, seeping deeply into her skin. She leaned back against the chair, the wood cold. Her eyes glazed over, finally focusing on the light in the corner of her desk. Her carefully disguised strength was now ripped apart by the approach of night.
Two lines of clear tears slid silently, and his eyes were filled with tears and mist.
If I'm not here right now, then at this time and in this weather, I should order takeout, order some fried chicken, a cup of Coke, and then turn on the TV series I've been following recently.
If it rains the next day, I will probably get up early, listen to music leisurely, buy a bowl of my favorite rice noodles, go to the hospital, savor the taste, and then start a new day of rounds.
But life is always so unpredictable, so unpredictable that it is absurd and ridiculous.
I raised my head to let the tears flow back, but they quietly broke through the dam and slid down my clothes along the traces of their flow. It was cold.
"Dong Dong Dong~~~~"
Someone knocks on the door.
Su Yunwei hurriedly wiped her eyes with her hands, and the area around her eyes was red.
When I opened the door, the sound of rain that had been blocked out came from all directions again. Under the eaves, there was a green oil-paper umbrella.
Su Yun turned his head slightly and saw Fu Changan standing on the side of the eaves. It was dark night, with black clothes, black hair, and black shoes.
There is also a red quilt in his hand.
Is he trying to scare people to death?
Wait... a red quilt? Why would he bring a quilt here in the middle of the night when you're not sleeping?
"The autumn rain brings a chill, and tonight it's pouring hard, bringing a chill. I'm worried you'll be cold, so I brought a blanket to keep you warm."
Su Yun was a little surprised and reached out to take it hesitantly, but accidentally touched the back of his hand, which was cold.
Su Yunwei hugged the quilt in her arms, and a constant source of heat wrapped around her body, making her feel extremely comfortable.
But Fu Changan's hair was still dripping with water, and the back of his hands were icy cold, so the rest of his body probably wasn't that warm either.
"Thank you, Fu Changan, the quilt is very warm."
The rain was noisy, but Fu Changan saw Su Yun's slightly red eyes, and there was silence. He rubbed his cold fingers helplessly, the dampness enveloping his whole body, making him feel uncomfortable.
He asked, "Is there something that makes you unhappy? If Doctor Su trusts me, I..."
Su Yunwei interrupted him: "There's nothing to be unhappy about." She lowered her eyes and stared elsewhere, her voice muffled.
"I just want to go home."
Fu Changan understood in his heart. He thought that she was a little girl who left home alone and was in a strange land. Just like when he left home, he often looked up at the moonlight, wondering if the bright moon in the capital was still as bright as before.
Thinking of her red eyes, he felt a surge of pity and said directly, "Where does Doctor Su live? I will take you back tomorrow."
I don't know where she lives, but I hope the elders at home are well. I will definitely visit them with gifts to express my gratitude.
Su Yunwei raised a bitter smile: "I can't go back." The sound of rain around him gradually became louder, dripping against the eaves. Su Yunwei looked blankly at the fallen leaves knocked down by the raindrops, feeling lonely.
Just as Fu Changan was confused as to why she couldn't go back, Su Yunwei gathered her thoughts, her small hands hugging the quilt sinking into the softness. She said, "The rain is getting heavier. Fu Changan, you should go back first."
"········good."
After staying in the army for a long time, he was used to lifting everything with his feet, and he would never bend over if he could. At this moment, he subconsciously took a step forward with his right foot, but suddenly stopped.
Such behavior is probably rude.
He quickly pulled his legs back, leaned over to pick up the wet umbrella handle, and held it over his head, then left a sentence: "Have a good dream tonight and forget the unhappy things."
A man dressed in pitch black disappeared into the night rain, and the sound of his oil-paper umbrella snapping away grew farther and farther away...
Until the monotonous sound of rain remained in her ears, Su Yunwei returned to the room holding the soft quilt.
With the door closed, the red in my arms was bright and dazzling in the dim candlelight.
The next morning, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up. A thin mist gently covered the doorplate of the Fu Mansion. The heavy door creaked open from the inside, and several servants began their morning cleaning work.
"It rained yesterday, so there's no need to wipe the door anymore." A servant muttered and was about to go back with water, only to see his companion still squatting on the ground, carefully wiping the stone lion, with no reaction at all. He was really a piece of wood.
An eye roll.
He turned around and left with the bucket. When the others saw someone leading the way, they exchanged glances and hurried to follow.
Suddenly, only a servant, standing by the stone lions, remained at the gate of the vast mansion. He remained unmoved, his expression composed as he mechanically wiped, soaked, and rubbed. Wiped, soaked, and rubbed.
The familiar sound of wheels rolled over the rain that had fallen all night, splashing water on the bluestone slabs.
Fu Li, wearing his official uniform, got off the carriage first, followed closely by Fu Changan.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Fu Li felt relieved. In the past, when Fu Chang'an had not returned to the capital, he would go to court alone in the carriage. Now that his son had returned home, he was tall and had long legs, and he felt very crowded in this small carriage.
Why not take his big carriage? Fu Li suddenly stopped stepping over the threshold. He raised his head slightly and looked at Fu Changan: "How about taking your carriage tomorrow?"
"Why?" Fu Changan asked.
"My father's carriage is too small, it's a bit crowded for two people."
Fu Changan was worried about Su Yunwei. She was going out to Lushi Lane today to see a doctor for the boy from the Lin family, so he hurriedly said, "Okay." He turned around and walked straight ahead.
Fu Li saw that he was walking in a hurry. Although he was a little confused, his hunger grew stronger, so he hurried to his yard.
I was so hungry in the hall that I felt dizzy and my belly was sticking tightly to my stomach and intestines.
When he returned to the courtyard, he didn't see the familiar figure. In the past, whenever he returned home from court, Yinyin would come out to greet him. The two of them would sit together at the small table and have breakfast together.
But now he was the only one sitting at the small table with his set of bowls and chopsticks, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled. The smell of food gradually drifted over, and Fu Li's hunger instantly erupted. He had no choice but to sit down first and fill his rumbling stomach before talking.
Chaohuiyuan.
"Mother-in-law." Du Yinyin sat beside the bed, tears streaming down her face. "I shouldn't be bothering you with this matter, but I really don't know what to do."
After two days of eating coarse grains, the old lady was actually in better spirits than before. She half-lay on the bed, still breathing heavily. "Although you and your father have long had a quarrel, he is still your biological father after all. He has suffered this, not to mention whether he will kick you out."
She gently held Du Yinyin's hand and caressed it softly: "Don't think your mother-in-law's words are unpleasant. At our age, whether he can wake up... is another matter!"
When Du Yinyin heard this, the tears in her eyes surged even more violently.
Early this morning, Du Yinyin was lying in bed and was about to get up when the doorman hurriedly brought her the news that her father had fallen at home and had been in a coma ever since.
When she married Fu Li, she had a big quarrel with her father and swore a solemn oath that she would never enter the Du family's gate again in her life. In recent years, apart from interacting with her younger brother who was doing business, she didn't even have much contact with her mother.
In this situation right now, my father fell and is unconscious, and I don’t know if my younger brother has received the news. Even if he returns home, it will take several months.
She, who was always calm, was also panicked at this moment. The voice in her head was clear and distinct: Go back, pack up your things and go back quickly.
Her footsteps moved slightly, but suddenly stopped. The poisonous oath she had sworn, the disappointed looks of her mother and father, and the harsh insults that she had long since put aside, now came like a tide, hitting her hesitant determination.
She was so indecisive that she couldn't find anyone to ask for help, so she had no choice but to find her mother-in-law.
Seeing this, Nanny Jinxiu, who was waiting by the bed, hurried forward and wiped the tears from the corners of Du Yinyin's eyes with the handkerchief in her hand. Over the years, this mistress who had remarried had been really sincere to an old woman like her.
With a look of concern in her eyes, she said softly, "The old lady is right. Madam, please pack up and go home quickly. There are some things that you miss in this life, and there will be no chance to make up for them."
Du Yinyin nodded quickly and replied, "I understand. Thank you, Ma'am."
She quickly got up, bowed to the old lady on the bed, and hurried out of the house.
On the way back to the courtyard, Du Yinyin met Fu Li who came to Zhaohui Courtyard to look for her.
Fu Li noticed her red eyes and asked hurriedly, "Madam, what's wrong?"
"My father had an argument with my mother at home yesterday. He fell down in excitement and hasn't woken up yet." As he spoke, tears began to flow again.
Seeing this, Fu Li's heart was in a knot. He hurried to comfort her, "It's okay, it's okay. Let's go back and pack our things and go to your house right away."
"you go?"
"Yeah, I'm going too!"
Du Yinyin was a little embarrassed, but she was more afraid that Fu Li would be in trouble. In the past, when Fu Li accompanied her out for fun, if they were unlucky enough to run into her father, he would always mock him for being an old cow eating young grass.
She knew that he never cared about these empty words, but... this was something she had clearly done willingly, but when it fell into other people's mouths, it was inexplicably spread as if he had robbed her.
His face, which is often stern and fierce, really arouses people's imagination.
"My family treats you..."
"It's okay, Madam's family is my family." Fu Li said softly, holding Du Yinyin's waist and walking straight into the yard.
Du Yinyin felt that the extra fifteen years he had were just a drop in the ocean for her.
She just wants every day now!
