Chapter 201 Xiao Yu's Room
The furnishings in the room seemed to remain the same as when Xu Chuchu left, with bright red curtains, festive bed sheets, half-burned red candles...even the wine jug prepared for drinking the wedding wine was still in its original place.
Of course, there are many differences.
The bricks thrown down by the big orange tree were scattered on the ground. There was thick dust on the dressing table, which looked like it could be left with fingerprints at any time. Because of the rain falling in, there was also a musty smell in the room.
What she could not have imagined was that the cage on the platform where she had been imprisoned for a long time was dented and in a terrible state.
She walked closer to check and found that the cage was not smashed into this state by any tool, but was hit by a person's fist.
Xu Chuchu's mind was a little confused for a moment, and many memories that she tried desperately to forget came flooding back uncontrollably.
When she was imprisoned and locked up; when she and he held hands and practiced in the wild... when he pressed her down and plundered her wantonly; when they kissed passionately for the first time in the inn... when they quarreled angrily, when he called her a tool for indulgence and she said he was not as good as Chen Zhaozhi; when they promised each other to spend the rest of their lives together...
The feeling of pain and beautiful memories intertwined made her upset!
She was so angry that she punched the deflated cage... and then grimaced in pain.
Never mind all that. Finding something is more important. What does his current state have to do with her? Just be happy that you have successfully changed your fate!
Xu Chuchu began to rummage through boxes and drawers looking for the sword.
I searched everywhere, in the cabinets, in the drawers, under the bed... but couldn't find it anywhere. Did he take it with him? That would be troublesome. I'd have to take the risk and buy it at an auction.
She rummaged through Xiao Yu's desk and found a brocade box. When she opened it, she saw soft fabrics neatly stacked inside, with a Lantian jade tassel earring on top.
This was the earring she wore on her "wedding" day. After she escaped, only one was left. She thought it had fallen on the road, but it turned out to be with him.
As for mine, I seem to have left it at home, and I’m not sure if I can find it now.
Xu Chuchu searched again and found a stack of empty sound transmission notes among several piled-up books.
Needless to say, these must have been what she gave to Xiao Yu.
She immediately wanted to take the sound transmission talisman away and not give Xiao Yu the chance to communicate with her again.
As he twitched, some crumpled papers fell out one after another. They were covered with words, but they were written in a very sloppy manner and with many corrections. They looked like the draft of some formal document.
She picked up one at random and looked at it, her heart suddenly sinking.
The first half of the note had been heavily smudged, making the words illegible. The only thing visible at the back was the following: "...I couldn't relate to your anger and pain, so I locked myself up to empathize with you. After only a few days, I felt ill. No freedom, no sunlight, only a prison cell outside the window. It was so depressing, I suffered several seizures (these words were crossed out). Chuchu, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have locked you up."
Then the second one.
"Chu Chu, I know that cherishing something only after losing it is worthless. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just want to express my apology. Have you returned to your hometown, Tailing County? I have sent someone with a letter to the Tailing County Magistrate, asking him to take care of you. If you need anything, you can come to him directly."
Another line of small words was added at the end of this paragraph: "I don't mean to ask where you are going."
My hometown is not Tailing. You haven't even heard of it. Xu Chuchu felt depressed and looked at the next picture.
First, there was a long row of crossed-out words. The words that could be vaguely seen were: "Every time I lose control of my emotions, I cut a knife on my arm. The pain makes me sober. Now that I can control myself, are you still willing to see me?"
At the bottom was a row of revised words. The previous words had been deleted, leaving only: "I have found a way to control my emotions. Are you still willing to see me?"
"I've been to a lot of places we've been to together lately, and I always thought I'd see you there again. It turns out I was overthinking it."
There were many such notes with many corrections. Xu Chuchu didn't know whether all the words were passed on to her. She only knew that every paragraph had been revised and considered repeatedly by Xiao Yu many times.
But since that day, he has never sent me any message. Why? There are still so many sound transmission notes left.
Is he in danger?
While cleaning, a small piece of paper the size of a palm fell out. Xu Chuchu picked it up and saw that the words "Get out" were written crookedly on it.
This piece of paper had been torn into pieces, glued together again, torn into pieces again, and glued together again.
But the more I looked at these two words, the more they looked like Daju's handwriting. Did Daju write back for her?!
Some images flashed through Xu Chuchu's mind.
That day, Daju stuffed a bunch of papers into her hands. She tore them into pieces and then shouted, "Tell him to get out!"
Sure enough, when talking to a cat's brain, you have to be clear and there can be no ambiguity.
There was a pile of crumpled paper on the ground.
When the papers were opened, some were splashed with ink, some were crossed out, and the words revealed were nothing more than "Being with a red-haired man", "Women should not help men take a bath", "Men who can't write have no future" and so on.
I sent her a message but received a reply from another man... Xiao Yu probably thought that she was together with Daju, which is also good.
Xu Chuchu was not in the mood to continue watching. Seeing that the sword was indeed not in the house and Xiao Yu was nowhere to be found, she prepared to leave and make other plans.
After taking only two steps, he felt something was wrong and rushed back to touch the desk.
This room is a mess, full of clutter and dust, as if it has not been lived in for a long time. Only this desk is spotless... as if it is used every day!
She immediately released her spiritual power to search the entire mansion, and sure enough, the mansion was quiet, and none of the former servants, maids, and nannies were gone.
There was only a tall man walking in from outside and slowly walking towards this room!
Xu Chuchu quickly withdrew his spiritual power to avoid being discovered by the other party. He put back all the things that had been turned over on the table and in the room, locked the door again, and then jumped onto the roof to hide.
She didn't want to have any direct contact with him.
Seeing a gray-blue figure approaching, he slowly took out the key, opened the door, and slowly walked in.
The person who came was naturally Xiao Yu.
His shoes and clothes were covered in mud, and it was unclear what remote place he had been to.
His movements were slow and weak, giving people an inexplicable sense of dejection and fatigue.
This feeling became even clearer when I saw his face clearly. His face was completely bloodless, frighteningly pale, with thick dark shadows under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for a month.
He sat weakly on the chair, motionless, silent, just sitting there blankly, with a dull look in his eyes, looking nothing like a living person.
Xu Chuchu quietly stretched her neck to see if he was carrying the sword. Just as she looked over, Xiao Yu, who was sitting quietly, suddenly stood up and checked the floor, cabinets and desk in the room.
"Someone has been here." He suddenly muttered to himself, "Who? Chuchu? Chuchu has been back!"
