Chapter 63 For 12 hours, they clung tightly to each other.
"Crack!"
Huo Er has already taken the photos.
Shi Nian then realized what was happening and apologized, "Sorry, I wasn't looking at the camera. Shall we take another one?"
"Okay, okay!" Huo Er said happily.
Shi Nian looked at the camera again and smiled.
"Crack!"
The Polaroid camera made a snapping sound, freezing the image of Huo Er, Huo Junhui, and Shi Nian wearing a mask.
Shi Nian watched as Huo Er took out the photo and handed it to her.
She signed Yining's name on it.
After all this was done, Shi Nian looked up again at the spot where Lu Yanzhi had just been.
He has already left with Han Wei.
That place was empty; there was nothing there.
Shi Nian paused slightly, then looked away, but caught sight of Young Master Huo's eyes along the way.
He simply looked at her without saying anything. After noticing her gaze, he looked away and urged his younger siblings to leave.
Shi Nian didn't say anything, but simply got into the nanny van with Fu Jinyan.
The car moved slowly forward. Because the recording went smoothly today, I was able to leave work early.
Shi Nian's health has improved a lot compared to before; at least she is not as weak as before.
She removed her makeup, took off her mask, and changed her clothes in the nanny van.
Remembering what the policewoman had told her earlier, that her car had been repaired, she told Fu Jinyan and got out of the car midway.
She planned to pick up the car and then go back to her apartment.
She had been staying in the hospital for so many days and wanted to go home.
Fu Jinyan didn't argue with her, but simply dropped her off at an intersection near the 4S store.
After watching the car leave, Shi Nian slowly walked into the 4S store.
After a series of procedures, Shi Nian got her car.
When she sat in the driver's seat again, she had a strange feeling.
It seems like it's been a very, very long time since I last drove this car.
But only 10 days have passed.
Shi Nian pursed her lips, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, started the car, and drove on the city streets.
It was already dark when the city was in the middle of the evening rush hour.
The dim streetlights were already on, and the traffic lights ahead were also on, making everything seem exceptionally busy.
The car radio was playing Eason Chan's "Happy Cloudy Day" quietly, with occasional reminders of traffic congestion in some area.
Having spent many days in the hospital bed, seeing and hearing all this felt strange.
Like someone who has been floating in the air, having forgotten the realities of everyday life.
Shi Nian looked at the traffic on the elevated road ahead, suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, and focused on driving.
Meanwhile, a Bentley was slowly driving through the traffic below the elevated road.
Lu Yanzhi sat in the back seat and looked out the window.
Sitting next to him was Han Wei, who was looking at her phone and texting someone.
Lu Yanzhi looked out the window at the flow of traffic.
This city remains as crowded as ever after all these years.
The scene of the masked woman taking a photo with the Huo family siblings appeared before my eyes once again.
He didn't know why, but he was always so concerned about that masked woman.
The other party is clearly Fu Jinyan's woman.
Perhaps it's because he always thinks of that woman whenever he sees her.
The light ahead was red, and the driver steadily stepped on the brake.
Perhaps it was because of this pause that Lu Yanzhi thought of Shi Nian again.
I recall that 12-hour ferry ride from country Z.
They eventually made it ashore successfully.
They were greeted by their own people at the port.
There were no surprises, nor were there any major close calls.
All that remained was the look in her eyes when she looked up at him.
Smiling, trusting, and steadfast.
Her eyes were filled with him.
Sitting in the car, Lu Yanzhi suddenly felt a little suffocated.
He rolled down the car window, wanting some fresh air.
But the feeling of suffocation still hadn't disappeared.
His heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by someone's hand; it hurt terribly.
"Listen to what the cloudy sky is saying, and in the dim light, I want to tell the sky, no matter what, be happy on a cloudy day..."
The sound of car music came from a car parked next to me, waiting at the red light.
It's Eason Chan's "Happy Cloudy Day".
The ferry crossing after we disembarked that day seemed to be overcast.
The sea, freshly covered in snow, possessed a cold beauty, and she held his hand tightly at that moment.
He suddenly started thinking about her again.
"Brother Yanzhi, everyone online is saying how beautiful the pendant you bought me is." Han Wei's voice came from beside me.
Lu Yanzhi then came to his senses and looked at Han Wei, whose pendant was shining brightly.
"Yes," he replied, "You're a perfect match."
“Right? I think so too.” Han Wei smiled even more broadly.
Lu Yanzhi lowered his eyes slightly and pursed his lips.
Han Wei has less than six months left.
This is his responsibility; he is the one who has let Han Wei down.
He and Shi Nian are already in the process of getting a divorce.
Let's talk about everything in six months.
It's good that Shi Nian has been gradually becoming more sensible lately. Even when she's sulking, she doesn't make a fuss anymore.
The song playing in the car next to me had finished, and the red light ahead had turned green. The Bentley restarted and drove in another direction.
Meanwhile, Shi Nian was driving on the elevated road in the opposite direction from Lu Yanzhi.
The two people drove in two different directions in the city.
Finally, Shi Nian returned to the parking lot of the apartment complex she rented.
After parking and turning off the engine, Shi Nian took her bag from behind and then subconsciously reached into the small drawer next to her to see if she had forgotten anything.
She didn't expect there to be anything there, but she touched a small bag.
With a slight frown, Shi Nian took out the small bag.
She paused slightly as soon as she opened the bag.
Lying quietly in the bag were her medicines.
It was medication I got from a psychologist.
Her child was still alive then.
At that time, she did not understand the importance of the child and was thinking that she would start taking medication after aborting the child.
But then, she lost her child, was hospitalized, and her car was being repaired. The medicine was kept in this small drawer until now, when it has reappeared in front of her.
Shi Nian hesitated for a moment, then reached out again and took out a box of medicine.
She tried to open the package, but her hands seemed to have suddenly lost all strength, and she couldn't tear it open at all.
Tears dripped onto the medicine box, and the belated pain swept over her.
Ten days have passed since she lost her child. When she woke up in the hospital that day and learned that her child was gone, she fell into a state of numbness, not thinking about anything, feeling nothing, neither joy nor sorrow.
Only now did these medicines act like a sharp sword, piercing through the numbness and allowing her to return to this world that had caused her so much pain.
Tears soaked the medicine box.
This was the first time she had cried in so many days.
She was very sad.
