I brought Huo Yubai to the place where I had lived for five years.
This is a bamboo house.
It comes with its own small courtyard.
After I left, someone helped take care of it, so it's very clean.
I took him inside.
"You should rest for a bit. I'll go get you something to eat. This place may be hot, but it's very humid. If you get dampness in your body, it will be troublesome."
Huo Yubai nodded: "Can I take a look around?"
"See?" I went into the kitchen to prepare the herbal medicine.
After touring the first floor, he went upstairs.
There was no movement for a long time.
I was worried, so I went to check on it.
That's when I realized he was sitting in the spot where I usually read and study, lost in thought.
I walked over and realized that his gaze was fixed on a photograph.
I secretly took that picture when he came to tutor me.
He didn't know.
When he heard me coming, he turned around and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Yan Yan, you must have missed me a lot back then, right?" His voice and expression were tinged with pain.
"I don't want to." I shook my head. "Don't flatter yourself."
He looked up, his eyes slightly moist: "You always like to say the opposite of what you mean. I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have lied to you. I should have come to you and told you everything."
But he didn't have the courage.
"Huo Yubai, it's not that I can't understand. Xinjing City is so dangerous, and you've had it tough too. Maybe this is just fate." I said frankly, "The matter will be over in the future."
He held me, trembling slightly.
I gently placed my hand on his thick hair.
"Am I not going to live much longer, that's why you're comforting me like this?" His voice was hoarse.
"What are you afraid of with me here?" I frowned. "Alright, go downstairs and drink your medicine."
"Okay." He followed me downstairs.
He obediently drank the medicine, intending to accompany me to see the sights.
But when the medication took effect, he stayed home to sleep.
I went out to visit my former neighbors, and when I came back, I was carrying the groceries they had given me.
As soon as I entered the door, Huo Yubai, who had just woken up, hugged me tightly.
"Where have you been?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
I threw down what I was holding and said, "I'm going out for a walk."
"Why didn't you wait for me?" he asked, feeling wronged. "I woke up and didn't see you. I thought something had happened to you."
"I'm not that easy to get into trouble with." I pushed him away. "Didn't you see how much stuff I took?"
"I'll help you." He picked it up. "Where should I put it?"
"The kitchen." I said, carrying the rest of the food. "This was given to us by our neighbor. We'll cook it for dinner tonight so you can try some local flavors."
"I'll help you." He rolled up his sleeves, revealing long, slender arms with clearly defined veins. Despite his seemingly gentle and refined appearance, he exuded a powerful aura, creating a striking contrast.
"Huo Yubai, when you don't say anything, you really make people think you're a mature and refined man," I remarked.
His long eyelashes fluttered as he looked at me: "Am I not?"
"Heh." I snorted. "You're clearly just a spoiled brat."
He chuckled: "But you have to admit, I'm handsome."
"Narcissistic." I picked up the greens and prepared to wash them.
He hugged me from behind, trapping me in front of the pool, and looked at me sideways: "If a pig were to act cute towards you, could you tolerate it?"
I laughed in exasperation: "That's true. Character is important, but reputation is even more important."
He lowered his head and kissed me: "Then I'll have to take good care of this face, since I'm relying on you to support me now."
"What, you don't want to be my husband anymore, you want to be my male concubine?" I chuckled.
“Your husband is me, and so is your lover.” He was jealous.
"Okay, it's all your fault. I'm going to cook now," I said dismissively.
He reluctantly stepped aside.
Then it followed me like a little tail, helping me out every now and then.
After dinner, I took him for a walk.
"Brother, buy a bouquet of flowers for your sister." A little girl selling flowers stopped us.
She was holding a large bouquet of flowers, and there was an old lady guarding her basket next to her.
The grandmother and grandson make a living by selling flowers.
The little girl's clothes were old, but very clean.
She wore two braids, adorned with fresh flowers, making her look like a lovely flower fairy.
"I'll take them all," Huo Yubai said, holding his phone.
The little girl held up the payment code hanging around her neck.
After paying.
The little girl carried the whole basket over.
"Brother and sister, I wish you happiness forever and that you will always be together." The little girl helped the old lady away.
I was holding a large bouquet of flowers in my arms, and then I kicked the basket on my back: "Don't just stand there, carry it on your back."
Huo Yubai slung the basket over his shoulder and looked at me: "Don't you like flowers?"
“I’ve lived here for five years, I’ve seen all kinds of flowers, and didn’t you see that my yard is full of flowers?” I was speechless.
Huo Yubai was embarrassed.
Seeing that he wasn't very happy, I comforted him, "But I still want to thank you. These flowers are so beautiful, why don't we send some to Professor Ming and the others?"
"Yeah." He nodded.
We came to Professor Ming and Min Xiu's graves again.
The place where they are buried is not far from where I live.
Moreover, this road is bustling with people coming and going.
We placed the flowers in front of the tombstone.
A gentle evening breeze blows.
"Being buried together is a kind of romance, isn't it?" Huo Yubai asked.
"It's romantic for lovers to be buried together, but if they don't love each other, they won't find peace even in death." I shrugged.
Huo Yubai looked at me awkwardly.
“I might have a romantic allergy,” I explained. “My biggest feeling is that if you can’t be together properly in life, it’s too hypocritical to expect it after death. If you can love each other while you’re alive, why waste time?”
Since you love each other, be brave and stay together, no matter what you have to face.
If you don't love someone, you should be brave enough to let them go.
Huo Yubai held my hand and said, "You're right."
We walked home.
Huo Yubai went to take a shower first.
Murray messaged me.
Mo Lei: I know that Min Xiu's ashes were not buried in Xinjing City; you took them away.
Me: If you don't believe me, you can dig up the grave and see.
Murray: We can cooperate.
Me: Cooperate with you? I don't want to be stabbed in the back by you after how you treated Mo Ruchu.
Mo Lei: This time is different. As long as you are willing to cooperate, you and Huo Yubai can naturally reach an agreement.
Me: Huo Yubai and I will not cooperate with the Mo family, so you can forget about it.
I know that Mo Yiyan has already started to take action.
He wanted to take revenge on the Mo family.
All of this tragedy stemmed from Mo Tianzong.
Although Mo Lei knew that Mo Tianzong was the key to the problem, he had to stand on Mo Tianzong's side for the sake of his own interests.
Although I don't acknowledge Mo Yiyan, I agree with what Mo Yiyan wants to do.
Murray has the wrong person.
Mo Lei: Shen Yan, I'm not threatening you, but reminding you that if you do this, you'll get into big trouble sooner or later.
