Chapter 53: Let Love Grow Wildly
When I woke up, I was covered in sweat.
The scenes in the dream were too real, so real that she could even clearly feel the pain and joy in the process, their breathing entangled together.
So shameful.
Chen Zan grabbed the quilt and covered his head with it. His cheeks were almost red as if they were ripe. Why did he dream about this kind of thing again?
After kicking his legs in frustration and rage on the bed, Chen Zan lifted the quilt and sighed deeply.
Thinking about the awkward moment before going to bed last night, and how they passionately devoted themselves to each other in the dream.
She closed her eyes because of a headache, wondering how she would face He Jingsui later.
She slowly got up, changed her clothes, put on her shoes and went downstairs.
The morning sun is bright and shining into the living room through the window.
Chen Zan walked down the spiral staircase and immediately saw He Jingsui standing at the dining table setting breakfast.
He was still wearing the simplest clothes, and his T-shirt had changed from white to black. The faint light gave his figure a golden hue.
Hearing the movement behind him, he turned his head and glanced at her briefly, "Awake?"
"Oh..." Chen Zhan paused before speaking. For some reason, she felt a little guilty about doing something bad behind his back.
"Come and have breakfast."
Fortunately, he quickly looked away and fiddled with the things on the table.
Chen Zan walked over.
He even prepared such a rich breakfast, including milk, bread, eggs, and sandwiches. It seemed like he had bought all the food that could be eaten for breakfast.
"Why did you buy so much?" Chen Zan looked at the table full of breakfast and was a little surprised.
He Jingsui didn't answer her, but turned his head to look at her with a faint smile in his eyes.
But in just a second, the faint smile in the corner of his eyes disappeared, and he raised his hand to touch her face.
"Why do you look so bad?"
Not only is it bad, it's also a bit red.
"Did you catch a cold last night..."
As soon as the cold temperature of his fingers touched her face, Chen Zhan reacted almost subconsciously and quickly jumped away.
He Jingsui looked at her strangely.
Being stared at deliberately by his two eyes, Chen Zhan felt a little flustered. He pursed his lips, touched his face twice, and said to him: "I'm fine, maybe... I'm a little too picky about my bed and didn't sleep well."
After looking at her quietly for a while, He Jing shifted his gaze and let her sit down to eat.
"I'll take you home after dinner."
"……good."
After breakfast, the two went out side by side.
The morning air is fresh and birds are singing melodiously in the woods.
He Jingsui's family has a small courtyard with a flower bed in it, but no flowers have been planted there for many years. Now it is overgrown with weeds and a mess of dead branches and leaves.
Suddenly she remembered that a long time ago, He Shiyi told her that there used to be many beautiful flowers planted in the yard of He Jingsui's house. When spring came, the flowers would bloom and attract many beautiful butterflies.
Just thinking about that picture makes me feel so beautiful.
"He Jingsui." She turned to look at the person next to her and asked him, "Why don't you grow flowers at home?"
This question came up so suddenly that He Jingsui paused.
Chen Zhan caught his puzzled gaze on her face and hurriedly explained, "I heard Shi Yi say that before. She said your family used to grow a lot of beautiful flowers."
I don't know where her words "very beautiful" came from. He Jingsui took her hand and chuckled, "You haven't seen it before."
How do you know a flower is beautiful?
"But I can imagine." The girl's beautiful eyes and eyebrows smiled. "She said your mother..."
The voice ended abruptly.
Chen Zan realized that she had mentioned someone she shouldn't have, and a trace of panic flashed across her face. She was afraid that He Jingsui would think of the sad things in the past because of this.
A light breeze blew by, shaking the treetops and ruffling a strand of hair by her ear.
He Jing then hooked his finger to confirm her belief, then raised his hand to hook the strand of hair on her face behind her ear.
He didn't hide this from Chen Zhan. His gaze dropped lightly to the overgrown flowerbed not far away and he took the initiative to tell her, "When my mother was alive, I did plant a lot of flowers in the yard. She loved them, but that was a long time ago. I didn't plant any more after she left. Firstly, I didn't have that much time, and secondly, I felt there was no point in doing so."
His tone was light, but Chen Zhan could hear some loss and sadness in it.
How come this doesn't make sense...
Chen Zan looked over there, her eyes filled with regret, but she was soon pulled away by He Jingsui, and the small flower garden was getting farther and farther away from her.
He left only after sending the person to the doorstep, but on the way, they met Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu has always maintained the habit of morning exercise. He wore a gray sports suit, put Bluetooth headphones in his ears to listen to the morning news, and breathed steadily while running.
There were neighbors around here who knew him, and they greeted him enthusiastically as he ran past. Jiang Yu politely nodded in response.
The shallow sunlight illuminated his figure, casting a gray shadow on the ground.
Even the shadows are gentle.
After running the entire distance, he stopped at the door of his house, took a bottle of mineral water from the iron box for receiving letters next to him, unscrewed it, and took a few gulps with his head tilted back.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and was about to go into the house, but when he glanced around inadvertently, he saw the familiar figure of Chen Zan.
She and He Jingsui held hands with their fingers interlocked, and they smiled at each other under the bright sunshine.
As sweet as it can be.
He had never seen her so relaxed and happy, with love in her eyes.
He was stunned for a long time, probably because his gaze stayed in their direction for a long time.
Chen Zan subconsciously glanced over. The smile in her eyes had not yet faded, but the moment she saw him, she was obviously slightly surprised and paused.
Immediately afterwards, He Jingsui also looked over.
Jiang Yu moved his gaze to his face, and finally fixed on their tightly intertwined fingers.
Intertwining fingers deep within each other's spaces is the most subtle way to express love during the passionate period of love.
Seeing him, Chen Zan thought of the words he said yesterday to force her to break up.
Those emotions were like flames, constantly ignited by the wind. Chen Zan was still a little unhappy.
The strength of holding He Jingsui's hand increased uncontrollably. Feeling that something was wrong with the girl's mood, He Jingsui subconsciously looked at her.
"Chanchan."
The man on the other side called her in a gentle voice.
Chen Zan lowered his eyes, stood there without moving, and ignored him.
That fair and gentle face showed a somewhat depressed mood. Although He Jingsui could not guess all her thoughts, he could understand why.
When Jiang Yu called her "Zhanzhan" again, He Jing let go of her hand, put his arm around her shoulders affectionately, pushed her forward, and missed Jiang Yu.
On the ground, their shadows overlapped and separated, and Jiang Yu's eyes followed Chen Zan's figure.
He just stood there, watching her move away from him little by little.
The sight of them standing side by side was very pleasing to the eye. Jiang Yu's drooping hands clenched into fists uncontrollably, and his gentle eyes were also shrouded in a layer of coldness.
Little did he know that someone called him at this time. The ringtone rang in the headset, pulling at his slightly angry mood.
"Hello?" His voice was cold, distant and indifferent, as if it was on the verge of a depression.
The person on the other end of the line was his work partner Jack. It was the first time he heard his cold tone and he was so surprised that he thought he had dialed the wrong number.
Jack: "What's wrong with you Your voice doesn't sound right."
[What's wrong with you? The voice doesn't sound right.]
Jiang Yu: "It's nothing, Call me what for?"
[Nothing, why are you calling me?]
Jack: "I'm in big trouble, Jason. Can you back early I need your help."
[I'm in big trouble, Jason, can you come back early? I need your help.]
His voice was filled with tears, sounding very pitiful. This was Jack's usual tactic, and he often used it on good-tempered people like Jiang Yu.
The surging emotions just now slowly faded away because of Jack's words. Jiang Yu chuckled and asked him, with a somewhat helpless tone, "What's going on?"
What happened?
Jack: "Work-related matters are too troublesome. The boss asked me to find someone to help solve them, and the first person I thought of was you."
[My boss asked me to find someone to help with a work matter, and you were the first person I thought of.]
Jack: "So, could you come back early for me, please"
[So, can you come back early for me? Please.]
Jiang Yu smiled and said: "Jack, what's the benefit of me doing this"
What good does this do me?
When Jack heard there was a chance, he said excitedly, "You can have any benefit you want! As long as I can do it."
[You can have any benefit you want, as long as I can do it.]
To be willing to do this, it seems that the mess is quite big.
Jiang Yu finally agreed to his request and told him that he would be back tomorrow.
Jack cried with joy on the phone and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
After they hung up the phone, Jiang Yu turned his head and looked in the direction of Chen Zan's house.
He just looked at her indifferently, then finally withdrew his gaze and returned home.
This was He Jingsui's first time visiting Chen Zan's house. Her house was not as big as his villa. The living room was neatly and clean with sofas and coffee tables neatly arranged in an orderly manner.
He was taken by Chen Zhan to sit on the sofa over there. He glanced around briefly and finally his eyes fell on Chen Zhan who was walking towards him with a glass of water in her hand.
He Jing then raised his hand to take it and placed it on the coffee table. The mist spread into the air.
He was not in a hurry to drink the water, but was eager to ask her other questions.
The pair of dark eyes looking at her were calm and composed, as if this sentence was just a topic he brought up unintentionally, "Are you and Jiang Yu having a conflict?"
This name was like a thorny wooden stick, but it was held in He Jingsui's hand, irritating her nerves.
Chen Zan felt mixed emotions.
He Jingsui pulled her to sit beside him, but her expression remained unchanged.
"Is there really something wrong?" He Jingsui's attention was completely focused on her, his eyes glued to her, "Don't you want to tell me?"
"No." Chen Zhan shook his head sullenly. She pursed her lips, a look of distress between her brows, and said to him, "I'm telling you, then you are not allowed to be angry?"
"Hmm." He Jingsui curled the corners of his lips and said patiently, "You go ahead."
Chen Zhan finally spoke, "Actually, it was yesterday. Before I came to see you, I went to a coffee shop with him and he tried to persuade me to break up with you."
Chen Zhan's voice was so soft that the last few words were almost inaudible.
But He Jingsui still grasped the meaning of her words.
After all, Jiang Yu had advised him before.
He Jing sneered, a bit mocking. His lips curled up sharply, and he remembered the supermarket entrance in the hospital before, when the seemingly gentle man showed him his cunning for the first time alone.
He ignored the man's despicable tactics, put his hand on Chen Zhan's shoulder, rubbed her shoulder with his palm, and asked her, "Do you want to break up with me?"
"I don't want to." Chen Zan shook her head like a rattle. She was almost terrified when she heard He Jingsui say that. She quickly grabbed his hand, leaned sideways, and said anxiously, "I don't want to at all."
"He Jingsui, can you please not leave me, don't be separated from me..." The tone was even pleading.
She was really scared, afraid that the beauty of being with him was just a dream, so she begged, if this was a dream, she hoped that she would never wake up.
Seeing her like this, He Jingsui felt a little distressed. He pulled her into his arms and held her back like a child, rubbing her soft hair.
"Not leaving."
"I won't be separated from you."
Chen Zan leaned in his arms at ease, put his arms around his waist, rested his chin on his shoulder, and closed his eyes.
He Jingsui didn't stay at Chen Zhan's house the whole time. He left soon. She wanted to walk him a little further, but he refused. He raised his hand and scratched the tip of her nose. "You don't have to walk me. It's too sunny outside."
"I'm not afraid of the sun." In fact, she wanted to stay with him a little longer because she didn't know when they would meet again.
He Jingsui teased her, "What if you get tanned?"
Chen Zhan thought about it seriously, "Then you..."
Her eyes lit up instantly, "You've got a dark girlfriend!"
He was amused by her funny words and put his arm around her waist to pull her into his arms. He Jing then raised the corner of his lips slightly and moved closer to her ear, rubbing her ear.
His voice was low and husky, flirting, "Hei Hei's girlfriend, then I like that too."
The warm breath teased the most sensitive part of her ear. Chen Zhan couldn't stand it and her heart felt numb and itchy.
Not until he left did her world become peaceful.
Lou Yan and Jiang's mother went on vacation to a coastal city. The sun shone on the golden beach, and the blue sea was in full view. Jiang's mother was lying on a sun lounger in a sexy bikini, drinking coconut water, and her big sunglasses were still on her nose.
Chen Zan found Lou Yan in the video she sent. She was sitting next to her, drinking coconut milk in her hand. Compared to Jiang's mother's extroverted personality, Lou Yan was much more restrained.
But there was also a happy smile on her face. Looking at the camera, her usually stern eyes curved into a gentle look.
Chen Zan smiled and replied to Jiang's mother, telling them to have fun.
Jiang's mother sent a voice message, "Zhanzhan, don't worry. We plan to play here until the end of summer vacation. I will take good care of your mother."
【Chen Zhan: Then please be careful.】
[Chen Zhan: Thank you, Aunt Jiang.]
After sitting on the sofa bored for a while, Chen Zan got up and went upstairs to the bedroom. She stayed in the room and painted for the whole afternoon. As the fiery red sunset gradually painted the horizon, the brilliant and rich colors spread out, giving people a sense of "the beauty is drunk, her face is flushed".
She likes to take a walk in such a beautiful and romantic sunset. The cool breeze in the evening gently touches her skin and also blows the leaves above her head gently.
There is no destination when walking on the street, just go wherever you go.
However, she didn't expect that the last place she stopped was a shop selling flower seeds.
As night fell, bright lights were turned on in the shops, and rows of potted flowers on the ground were in full bloom. Chen Zan suddenly thought of the long-abandoned flower garden he had seen at He Jingsui's house.
I also remember his words.
"It doesn't make any sense anymore."
How can it be meaningless?
An inexplicable urge surged in her heart, and she shouted towards the store, "Boss, how much are these flowers?"
Chen Zan went out for a walk and brought back a lot of things.
I bought all kinds of flower seedlings and seeds, fertilizers for growing seedlings, tools for planting flowers, kettles for watering flowers, and all kinds of equipment.
She planned to take these things to He Jingsui's house early tomorrow morning and replant the flowers for him.
But she didn't tell him about this because she wanted to give him a surprise.
Before going to bed at night, she lay in bed searching for various planting and cultivation videos. The variety of methods made it impossible for Chen Zhan to learn them all, and she finally fell asleep while watching these videos.
The next day she got up early, took her things and rushed to He Jingsui's house. When she left the house, the sky was just turning pale and the morning breeze was cool.
The whole city is still waking up.
When they arrived at He Jingsui's house, it was still early. Chen Zan put the tools and flower seeds in his hand on the ground and looked up at the window of He Jingsui's bedroom.
The time displayed on the phone was only seven o'clock.
He should still be sleeping now.
Chen Zan was very motivated and passionate about renovating his family's flower garden. She even imagined in her mind He Jingsui's reaction when he got up and went out to see the flower garden full of flowers and plants.
Surprised or happy?
Without wasting any time, she took her tools and headed towards the flower bed.
The flower garden hadn't been tended for so many years, and it was so overgrown with weeds that the soil was invisible. Chen Zhan took a small hoe, stepped over the low fence, and tried to weed.
All kinds of weeds were piled together, and it was impossible to tell which one was which. She started from the edge. It hadn't rained in the past few days, so the soil was very dry. She was too weak, so it was very difficult for her to weed.
After a few minutes of tossing and turning, she began to sweat on her forehead. She raised her hand to wipe it, gritting her teeth and removing the weeds bit by bit. Inevitably, she would encounter some thorny herbs. Chen Zhan accidentally scratched her hand without paying attention, and her white hand quickly showed a red cut, an unsightly cut in the middle.
It was only a slight sting, so Chen Zan just stopped to look at it for a few seconds and then continued to weed hard.
After clearing the weeds, she had to renovate the soil, and finally, it was time to sow seeds and fertilize. She had almost never done such physical work, and after clearing the weeds, she was exhausted.
But in order to let He Jingsui see the flowers in the flower garden again, Chen Zan took a small hoe and loosened the soil bit by bit. Two blisters were rubbed on her hands holding the hoe, but she endured the pain and continued to work.
When He Jingsui walked out and found her, Chen Zan had already planted the seedlings in the soil, and she was watering each flower with a kettle.
It was a slightly dry summer morning, and the light, bright sunlight penetrated the gaps between the green leaves and fell on the girl.
She was wearing a gray and white short-sleeved top and loose wide-leg jeans, and caught He Jingsui's eye in such a fresh picture in the early morning.
The breeze is floating and the fragrance of flowers is everywhere.
She had a gentle smile on her face and was holding a watering can in her hand. There were many tools around her, including a shovel, a hoe, and a small bucket.
They were scattered all over the floor.
Many years later, he can still remember this day clearly.
There was a silly girl who replanted the flowers for him, not minding the dirt or the tiredness, just to make his world full of life again.
He Jing then walked over there.
Chen Zan had her back to him and was concentrating on cultivating the seedlings. She didn't notice him approaching at all. She didn't know there was someone behind her. She stood up and turned around. She was caught off guard and bumped into his chest. She staggered back two steps, her foot slipped on a black branch on the ground, and she fell backwards uncontrollably.
He Jingsui quickly stretched out his arms, grabbed her slender waist, and brought her steadily into his arms.
The unbridled sunlight was bright and dazzling, and in Chen Zan's eyes, he was hazy and shadowy. He was shrouded in light and shadow, like light itself.
Her forehead hit his chest, and they were almost pressed together.
Chen Zan's heart was pounding and his breathing was stagnant.
His hand was on her waist, and Chen Zhan seemed to be trapped in his arms, looking incredibly petite. She raised her eyes and saw He Jingsui's eyebrows clearly in the layers of dazzling light.
Those eyes were like black rocks washed by water.
He stared at her straight, as if he wanted to stare into her heart.
Chen Zhan was a little shy, so he turned away and patted his arm to signal him to let go.
He Jing did as he was told.
His eyes passed over her face and looked at the flower bed behind her where many flowers were planted.
"Are you planting flowers?" he asked knowingly.
She was like a little kid who really wanted to be praised, her eyes bright with surprise.
"How is it? Does it look good?"
He Jingsui didn't say anything because he noticed that her cheeks were a little dirty from being splashed with mud, and her hands had many small wounds.
He didn't know whether the flowers were beautiful or not, he just stared at her hands.
Those wounds also invisibly became his wounds.
His eyes were filled with pain, "Does it hurt?"
Although there were many wounds, they were all small.
Chen Zhan knew that he was heartbroken, so he quickly retracted his hands and put them behind his back, smiling and saying to him, "It doesn't hurt. These wounds are small and will probably heal tomorrow."
But He Jingsui was still very distressed.
In order to cheer him up, Chen Zhan randomly diverted his attention, "He Jingsui."
"Look at the flowers I planted."
She raised her hand happily and pointed at him.
There are many different kinds of flowers, all planted by Chen Zhan alone.
After watering and fertilizing, they bloom their beauty in the sun with full energy.
Chen Zan told him what kind of flower this was and what kind of flower that was.
I also told him about my walk yesterday evening to buy flower seeds. "I bought a lot. The shopkeeper was so kind and gave me a small bag of fertilizer. Oh! And this little bucket... he also gave it to me..."
Before he could finish his sentence, He Jingsui grabbed Chen Zan's arm and brought him back into his arms.
The word "de" was stuck in her throat, and she felt his arms gradually tightening.
He hugged the girl in front of him with heartache.
"Chen Zhan, are you a fool?"
"How can I plant flowers when my hands are injured?"
Chen Zhan leaned in his arms, listening carefully to his heartbeat, "I really don't feel any pain."
Just now, when she was planting flowers, she kept thinking about how many difficult-to-heal scars were hidden behind his words that they were meaningless.
She replanted the flowers not to open the scar, but to heal it and let him feel the beauty of love again.
So, she said to him: "He Jingsui, compared to the wounds on my hands, I care more about the scars in your heart."
"And... these flowers are really beautiful." She raised her head in He Jingsui's arms to catch his eyes and smiled crookedly. "Next spring, when these flowers bloom and the yard is full of butterflies, it will definitely be beautiful."
Her bright eyes and eyebrows were hotter than the sun, penetrating into his heart.
The dilapidated flower garden became beautiful because of her, just as a beam of light named after her shone into his narrow and dim world.
That part of my heart had already collapsed because of her.
He Jing couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.
After just a few light kisses, he let go and rested his forehead against hers.
The breaths were still entangled.
He resigned himself to her and let his love grow wildly in his heart.
But how could there be such a silly and good girl in this world?
I would rather be hurt than not love him.
"Chen Zhan, you are just stupid."
He hugged her with great care, as if he wanted to embed her in his heart.
He whispered in her ear, "Thank you."
Thank you for making my world bloom again.
