Chapter 25 My Husband's Here
Su Pu is behaving very strangely today...
Almost the moment Li Jichuan saw him returning home late at the restaurant, he had this idea.
Thinking that the little mute had suffered some injustice at work again, Li Jichuan changed his plans on the spot.
Thus, the romantic dinner for two turned into a lively family reunion.
I just hope Su Pu can be a little happier.
However, he could tell that Su Pu had been forcing a smile all night.
Finally, Su Pu couldn't keep up the act any longer, covered her mouth, and ran to the bathroom to vomit.
And Li Jichuan couldn't even be the one to rush to the front to take care of him.
The other nimble servants had already surrounded Su Putu, constantly showing concern for him.
Li Jichuan couldn't even squeeze into the guest bathroom; he could only stand anxiously at the door.
He hated himself for being like this.
The family doctor came to see her and speculated that Su Pu's gastrointestinal problems were caused by irregular eating habits and recent overwork.
Li Jichuan felt even more distressed upon hearing this, as Su Pu had been busy collecting questionnaire data for him recently.
From the moment this little mute boy moved into his house, he tried everything he could to make him happy.
Li Jichuan sometimes had the illusion that Su Pu valued his affairs more than his own...
But how could that be?
They met by chance, and she was marrying in place of her younger brother.
Why are you so nice to him? Why do you always look at him with those wet, irresistible eyes?
His thoughts were in complete disarray; this little mute was more complicated than any problem he had ever encountered in his life.
After seeing off the family doctor, Li Jichuan returned to his bedroom and lay down next to Su Pu.
The other person was curled up, with only a small bulge of the quilt between them.
Sometimes, Li Jichuan would have the illusion that Su Pu would disappear into thin air.
He was most afraid that this illusion would become reality...
So, that night, Li Jichuan decided to take advantage of the situation, picked up Su Putuan with both arms, and pulled her into his arms.
He wanted to feel him, to feel the rise and fall of his breath, to feel his presence.
The little mute seemed to be delirious from her illness, and kept snuggling into his arms.
They embraced each other tightly.
Foolish lovers, they are silently drawing closer.
...
At midnight, the little mute boy woke up with a start.
In his dream, he had just lost Li Jichuan, and he couldn't forget the other's cold eyes.
Li Jichuan had a sleepless night. When he realized that Li Jichuan was awake, he raised his hand from Li Jichuan's waist and helped him tidy his hair.
"It's not dawn yet, sleep a little longer..." Li Jichuan said softly.
Su Pu was still in shock. She first looked up and saw that the person holding her was Li Jichuan. She checked twice before she was finally relieved.
This kind of hug seems to be one of the last ones left, right?
If it's a dream, please don't let him wake up.
Li Jichuan touched his forehead, confirmed that his fever had subsided, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did you have another nightmare?" he asked softly.
Su Pu listened and nodded silently.
"Can you tell me why?"
Su Pu pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
Li Jichuan did not press the matter further.
He held out a hand to Su Pu, "Hand."
Su Pu stared blankly for a moment, then tentatively placed her fingertips on his palm.
In that instant, several jumbled fragments of memory in my mind began to reassemble—
It seems they did the same thing when they were drunk last time...
"Su Pu, you collected so many questionnaires for me, but do you know what project those questionnaires were collected for?"
Su Pu shook his head honestly, seemingly because of a game that hadn't been released yet...
Li Jichuan chuckled, his breath brushing against Su Pu's ear, making Su Pu's soul almost dissipate...
"Same old rule as always, you pinch my fingers to show your attitude. One pinch means yes, two pinches mean no," Li Jichuan patiently reminded him.
Su Pu vaguely agreed, as if it had been the same when she was drunk last time.
But what questions did Li Jichuan ask him last time?
Li Jichuan's voice was calm, with a hint of languor and weariness, echoing in the bedroom at four in the morning.
"We've been developing this game for almost four years. It's called 'Ramundo.' Do you know what that means?"
Su Pu pinched his fingers twice.
The slight tingling sensation made Li Jichuan chuckle; it was a genuine, heartfelt pleasure.
"Remodel is a transliteration of the English word 'remodel.' Everyone's life has its shortcomings, so we want to help those with these shortcomings by building a virtual reality experience to reshape those memories..."
Li Jichuan sighed, determined to reopen his wounds.
“I was the one who first came up with this idea. When I was a child, I lost my parents in an accident. Later, the house I had lived in since I was a child was auctioned off by my aunt. I asked my grandfather to help me buy it, but there were too many bidders at the time, and it was eventually sold to a developer.”
“In my second year of studying abroad, that house was demolished. Now the city’s largest department store has been built on that site. Every time I think about how so many people walk on my precious memories, I feel very distressed. Sometimes I even think about going to find my parents…”
As Su Pu listened to Li Jichuan calmly share his unresolved wounds, her heart ached.
Why is it that even someone as gentle and warm as Li Jichuan is having a hard time?
Is it true that only evil people thrive in this world?
Why? This isn't fair!
Noticing that Su Pu's breathing was getting heavier, Li Jichuan smiled and hugged the little bellows in his arms.
“Su Pu, do you know that even though you can’t speak, I can still feel your emotions…”
Su Pu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Li Jichuan.
Li Jichuan's eyes gleamed with an arrogant determination to win, while Su Pu watched silently.
The owner of these eyes may not know that their eyes are actually weapons.
It can make any living being willingly surrender and drown in this gentle wave.
Su Pu lowered her eyelashes, waiting for Li Jichuan to continue.
"In Remundo, players can freely build the scenes that they find most unforgettable, and then make up for that regret through simulation fragments."
"That's why I want to collect as many heartfelt responses as possible. I want to know in what situations everyone's shortcomings occurred so that we can create relevant materials in the early stages and build their utopian world."
As he spoke, Li Jichuan's fingertips unconsciously entwined with Su Pu's fingers.
The little mute boy tried to pull away several times, but he caught him each time and pinched him as punishment...
Su Pu chuckled.
This childish side of Li Jichuan might be the last time...
Perhaps speaking had drained his energy, because Li Jichuan's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke.
Finally, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Their bodies remained in an embracing position.
Su Pu was wide awake. Seeing him asleep, she snuggled closer to him.
He asked himself, "Can you bear to give up Li Jichuan like this?"
Are you willing to say goodbye?
What is truly more important?
As the first glimmer of light appeared on the horizon, Su Pu finally made up his mind.
Nothing is more important than his lover!
This belief began when he was 16, when he hid in a corner and repeatedly played the recording, and it has continued to this day.
Li Jichuan said he wanted to marry her, and Su Pu felt it was her duty to uphold their promise!
...
The next day, Su partied at a nightclub until the early hours of the morning, then randomly booked a hotel room.
I didn't even know who my bed partner was, but I slept until 3:30 in the afternoon.
Upon waking, he grabbed his phone to check.
As expected, that silly, mute guy's text message was indeed lying obediently in the inbox.
Moreover, Su Pu not only agreed to go home and apologize, but also agreed to take the blame for the bank card!
Su Pu whistled lightly, thinking she was so principled, but she just couldn't bear to give up her crippled husband...
That's true. Su Fengxian doesn't value him at all. If he doesn't try to curry favor with his husband, who else can he curry favor with?
Su Hui took a refreshing shower and returned to the Su residence feeling invigorated.
In the evening, the doorbell rang, and Su Pu arrived.
Su Hui gestured to him, saying that Su Fengxian was in the study, waiting to question him.
Su Pu looked extremely pitiful, as if she was about to faint at any moment.
However, the doorbell rang again before he fainted.
The maid went to answer the door; the guest was no ordinary person...
The man, dressed in a formal suit, sat in a wheelchair, holding a bouquet of flowers. His face was icy, yet his features were resolute and handsome.
Su Hui stared at the familiar face and the fake jade bracelet on his wrist, lost in thought.
This person... is actually Li Jichuan?
