Chapter 150 Let go of my hand, no matter how long it takes.
Meanwhile, on the other side, one of the parties involved is the subject of much discussion.
After the phone rang for the seventh time and was hung up, Wen Yanyu groggily got out of bed. "Is it Aunt Jiang again?"
Fu Zhiyan nodded calmly after hanging up the phone.
Wen Yanyu rubbed her eyes, rolled over to the man's side, grabbed the phone, and unsurprisingly saw a bunch of missed calls from Jiang Wanrou.
The sky was just beginning to lighten outside the window, and snowflakes, as light as goose feathers, were falling gently from the sky. A thick layer of snow had accumulated outside the French windows, while the fireplace inside was burning brightly, making the room warm and cozy.
The chat box has been receiving messages for the past four days, sporadic from day to night, routine greetings, which became more and more frequent after no reply was ever received.
[Jiang Wanrou: Darling, why did Fu Hanchuan pick you up from the hospital? Is your back any better? Does it still hurt? Don't eat anything that might aggravate your condition, don't eat spicy food, and don't let Fu Hanchuan touch you. (crying bunny head emoji)]
[Jiang Wanrou: Little darling, send Auntie a message when you wake up (bunny peeking out).]
[Jiang Wanrou: Little darling, why aren't you at the hospital in Xinghai? Where are you? Please reply to Auntie if you see this.]
[Jiang Wanrou: Baby, Auntie noticed your IP address is in E country? Did Fu Hanchuan take you there? It's cold there, so be careful to keep warm. I think it's 5 hours behind here. Just call Auntie when you wake up, Auntie goes to bed late (bunny pats the blanket).]
The anxiety in their conversation reached its peak after they discovered that the other party's IP address had changed to E-country.
[Jiang Wanrou: Yan Yan, why haven't you answered the phone for so many days? Did Auntie do something to upset you? Please reply to Auntie's message, okay? (crying bunny head jpg.) (crying bunny head jpg.) (sad bunny head jpg.)]
43 missed calls over four consecutive days.
Wen Yanyu glanced at the message on her phone, her eyes filled with conflict.
After a while, realizing that hiding like this wasn't a solution, he hesitated for a long time before replying to the message.
[Wen Yanyu: Sorry, I've been too busy these past few days. I just arrived in E country and haven't adjusted to the temperature yet, so I've been sleeping a lot. Don't worry, my back is fine now. (Bunny Nest Blanket)]
As soon as the message was sent, the other end replied instantly, as if they had been waiting for it.
[Jiang Wanrou: (crying rabbit head) (wiping tears) Why didn't you tell me you were going to Country E beforehand? Is it cold there? How long will you be staying there? When will you be back? Let Auntie know when you get back.]
Wen Yanyu's fingertip remained on the screen for a long time without responding.
They sent a bunch of messages over the other end.
Wen Yanyu lowered her eyes, unsure of what to say.
It seems they know about this area.
The woman on the other end didn't ask any more questions, only sending one last message.
[Jiang Wanrou: I'm waiting for you at home. Have you had enough fun in E country? Remember to come home for Chinese New Year... When you come back, I'll make you fried small fish. (Crying rabbit head)]
As the last message arrived.
The screen went out.
Wen Yanyu was stunned for a long time before casually tossing aside her phone, resting her head on Fu Zhiyan's lap, and curling up in a ball while hugging the blanket.
Fu Zhiyan gently touched Wen Yanyu's hair, her gaze falling on the still-snowing outside the window, and said softly, "She is my mother, she just hasn't fully remembered yet. Wouldn't it be better to acknowledge her now?"
Wen Yanyu's eyelashes drooped.
"She doesn't remember me."
"I don't know how to get along with her, so let's leave it at that for now."
Fu Zhiyan's eyes flashed with helplessness as she patiently coaxed, "She will remember one day. Until then, I will stay with you. What are you afraid of?"
The two looked at each other.
The man's grey eyes remained gentle yet resolute.
After a long silence.
Wen Yanyu looked away, avoiding the man's eyes.
"I don't know..." Wen Yanyu buried her head in the blanket, her voice muffled, "It's different..."
Nearly ten years of separation, memories that have almost completely disappeared.
besides……
Ji Shenhuai.
During the few days they lived together, she couldn't fit into the atmosphere between them. Jiang Wanrou and Qin Chengzhi talked to her incessantly, as if they knew everything about Ji Shenhuai and could recount all sorts of things.
Before he realized the truth, he only felt envy under the warmth.
After all, they were not related by blood or marriage. The fact that they showed him kindness, and that he only heard some interesting stories, was enough to make him very happy.
But everything changed after he realized the truth.
Like a blunt knife.
A little bit.
It pierced the heart.
Time can change so many things. His sister has not yet been found, and he can no longer belong to his father and mother.
But he can't blame anyone.
Wen Yanyu blinked her sore eyes, snuggled up next to Fu Zhiyan, and wrapped herself up in the blanket to keep warm.
Snowflakes fluttered outside the window, and specks of warm orange light slowly tore through the darkness. It was 11:00 AM to midnight in Country E, and dawn was just around the corner.
In winter, the days in Country E are very short. It's almost January, and the polar night hasn't ended yet, with only a little over two hours of daylight each day.
After he withdrew from the show due to his back injury, he should have stayed home and recuperated, but he couldn't stay idle and didn't know how to avoid Jiang Wanrou.
It was Fu Hanchuan who spoke first, suggesting that they come to Country E to see the aurora borealis.
And so they set off...
