Li Yushu's mind was very quick. With just a few words, he shattered Wencai's newly ignited hope.
He was dejected again, like an eggplant hit by frost.
"Dad, are you planning to build a house in Shumei's name?"
"certainly."
"cocoa--"
"What's the good? We'll be a family sooner or later. What else is there to be bad about?"
Yes! How could Wencai forget this? In Li Yushu's eyes, he and Shumei are lovers!
Shumei followed from a distance behind. Although she also heard what Li Yushu said, she did not step forward to object.
Because she understood that Li Yushu would not listen to anything at this moment, and there was no point in saying more.
"oh!"
Wencai looked at Shumei for help, but seeing that Shumei didn't respond, Wencai had no choice but to agree.
When passing by Boyi's house, he bumped into Boyi who was rushing back.
When Boyi heard Shumei's familiar voice, his hands were shaking as he opened the door. He slowly turned around and saw Shumei chatting and laughing with Li Yushu and Wencai.
When Shumei saw Boyi's familiar face, her smile stopped abruptly and she just stood there in a daze, tears of excitement flashing in her eyes and her lips trembling slightly. Boyi's name came to her lips but she couldn't call out aloud.
Boyi was the same. He stood there in a daze, looking at Shumei lovingly, and the key in his hand that was about to open the door fell to the ground.
Wencai knew Boyi and recognized him at a glance.
"Shumei, what's wrong? Why don't you leave?" Li Yushu, who was unaware of the inside story, saw Shumei standing there in a daze, and asked Shumei in confusion.
Shumei seemed not to have heard what Li Yushu said at all, and was still staring at Boyi.
Wencai quickly dragged Li Yushu to Shumei's house, "Dad, Shumei has some personal matters to deal with, let's go back first!"
Li Yushu looked at Shumei, then at Boyi who was standing there, his brows furrowed, and he muttered to himself as he reluctantly followed Wencai home.
"What private matter? And you have to hide it from your partner?"
After Wencai and the others left, Boyi couldn't bear it anymore. He ran to Shumei and hugged her in his arms.
Both of them had tears in their eyes.
Boyi hugged Shumei tighter and tighter, as if he was afraid that if he relaxed a little, Shumei would take the opportunity to run away.
After a long time, Boyi finally spoke.
"Shumei, where have you been? I've been looking for you so hard. Are you okay?"
"I'm sorry, Boyi, I'm sorry, please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Shumei said this with tears in her eyes. She really didn't know what to say except "I'm sorry."
"No, you have nothing to apologize for. As long as you come back and are safe, that's all that matters. How's your illness?"
Boyi still refused to let Shumei go. He put his mouth close to Shumei's ear and spoke softly.
At this point, it no longer matters to Boyi who is right or wrong. Nothing matters. The only thing that matters is that Shumei comes back.
He would never let Shumei leave again, never.
"I've already had surgery, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
"Shumei, promise me, promise me, don't leave me again, don't leave again."
Boyi pulled himself out of Shumei's embrace, holding her arms tightly with both hands, and looked at her with almost pleading eyes. He was expecting Shumei's answer, expecting Shumei's affirmative answer.
At this time, Shumei was in a conflicted mood, and she really didn't know how to answer Boyi.
She had always wanted to be together with Boyi and live the rest of their lives happily and peacefully.
But when she thought of her physical defects and the cancer cells that might awaken in her body, she hesitated.
She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Boyi's affectionate eyes.
"Shumei, what's wrong with you? Is there someone else in your heart?"
"No, not at all." Shumei denied Boyi's suspicion without even thinking about it.
"Then what are you worried about? We've been through so much, isn't that enough?"
Shumei was silent for a long time. She raised her head and looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, she pulled Boyi to the corner, unbuttoned her shirt, and showed her bowl-sized scar to Boyi.
The moment Boyi saw it, his stomach churned and he almost vomited.
He shifted his gaze away unnaturally, not daring to look at Shumei again.
