Chapter 14: Remember the hug
"How did you recognize me?"
She originally thought that Bai Yujie would recognize her, after all, he had seen her when he was a child, but she didn't expect that Bai Jie, who had never met before, recognized her.
"Is it because of the photos?" She only had pictures of those people left there.
Bai Jie nodded, "I've seen your photos many times from my uncle, in fact, my mother also has a lot of photos of you together, my brother has never paid attention to these, so he didn't recognize you, but I recognized you at a glance." ”
"Xiaojie, can you promise me not to mention my news to anyone. I just want to live in peace. ”
"But if Aunt Qiao doesn't want them to know about you, why did she let Ruo'er marry my brother?" It's not like it's going to be revealed sooner or later.
"I don't agree, but Ruo'er has a fancy for it...... Alas, maybe everything is fate. I don't want to get in the way of Ruo'er's feelings. ”
Bai Jie promised: "Aunt Qiao, don't worry, I won't say it." Their family lived happily, and she didn't want to bring them a trace of unquietness, she knew that the person Aunt Qiao wanted to avoid was actually only her uncle.
She heard her mother tell some stories about the past between them, and her mother always sighed: "If your Aunt Qiao didn't know your uncle, she wouldn't have been hurt so much, and she wouldn't have ended up so tragically." Even if it's her ghost, she won't want to see him again. ”
Now, she finally knows why she feels familiar when she sees An Ruoer's photo, not only because she looks like her aunt, but because her eyes have the charm of Aunt Qiao.
At night, Bai Jie lay in bed and thought about a lot of the past, she thought that her uncle regretted it late after Aunt Qiao's death, and she had been immersed in her love for Aunt Qiao, and she had done more wrong things.
He married an aunt who looked a little similar to Aunt Qiao, but he didn't love her, and after he heard that Aunt Qiao had left an orphan girl, he went crazy and searched all over the world, and finally found Jiang Zhen'er.
But now, she knows that Aunt Qiao has never been separated from her daughter at all, and Jiang Zhen'er is just an impostor.
He has been alone for so many years, and he wants to leave the last bit of blood about his beloved, but he only loves an impostor.
Heaven's punishment of him never stopped.
An Ruoer...... Ruo'er ...... She remembered Ruo'er's gaze again, and also remembered an incident many years ago.
The little girl she rescued with her brother also had those eyes.
"What's your name?"
"An Ruo'er."
Yes, she told herself that her name was An Ruo'er.
I know so many things, but I can't tell anyone about it, and more importantly, I know the evil form of someone, but I can't expose her, I can only watch the behavior of the wicked, but the good people suffer.
couldn't stand it anymore, her jealous and hateful personality made her angry at all, turning over and over like a pancake, and finally, she called to annoy Yu Wenjing.
"What's the matter?" He was woken up and a little upset.
"Can't tell." She said very confidently.
Yu Wenjing thought for a while and said, "Hang up." ”
She looked at the phone that had been hung up, scratching at her hair, which was already unkempt. "How could I have thought of calling him, it seems so annoying. Go to bed! ”
In the hospital, Qiao Xinsu accompanied her daughter.
"Mom. Can you come and sleep with me? An Ruo'er couldn't sleep, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she was afraid to return to the terrible experience.
"Okay."
"Mom, I'm so scared of ......"
"I'm sorry, it's Mom's fault. You're thinking about the past again, aren't you? Qiao Xinsu hugged her daughter and wanted to protect her as much as possible.
"Mom, no matter what happens, you should never leave me behind. I'm so afraid of the dark, I'm so afraid of the cold, I'm afraid of too many things. So, you must not leave me alone. ”
In her mother's warm embrace, she finally closed her eyes.
Qiao Xinsu bit her lip, but tears kept pouring out, crying silently.
After waking up, An Ruoer felt a little refreshed, and she heard the doctor telling her mother about the condition of her leg.
Even if you can recover, it will take a long period of rehabilitation.
"Thank you, doctor." She smiled, just fingers clenched.
She smiled and looked at her mother with red eyes, and comforted: "It's okay Mom, I will definitely stand up again." It's God's preference to survive, right, I'll work hard, besides, it's just learning to walk again, it's hard for me, my mother doesn't have to worry about me. ”
An Ruoer can be discharged from the hospital to go home to recuperate, she doesn't like the smell in the hospital, after returning to her room, she hugged the pillow with the herbal bag, smelled the faint fragrance of medicine on it, and felt a lot calmer.
"It's still the best at home." She smiled contentedly at her mother.
Qiao Xinsu asked her daughter with a cautious face: "I have something to ask you, do you really like Bai Yujie so much?" Until now, do you still want to marry him? ”
Her smile was a little stiff, she didn't want to bring up the topic, although she knew that her mother would definitely bring it up to her.
"Mom...... I want to get some sleep first. She nestled in the quilt and turned away, tears streaming out for some reason.
She seemed to hear her mother's sigh and the sound of the door being gently closed. After waiting silently for a while, she turned around, and her mother had really gone out, but there was one more person in the room.
Bai Yujie stood silently in front of the window in her room, saw the photo last time, was glued by her, and drew another one, which was standing in front of her window, and a big cloud like a tail was drawn outside the window. The golden light of the sun crossed over the clouds and his body.
He raised his eyes and looked out the window at the sky, and sure enough, he saw exactly the same scene as in her painting. The clouds really resemble a fox's tail.
An Ruo'er's eyes widened and she saw him standing in front of the window, just like she had imagined. Even the light is the same.
"Mr. Bai, you're here."
She didn't notify him when she was discharged from the hospital today, and she didn't expect him to come to the house to see her so soon. My heart was faintly excited, but I was suppressed by her.
Bai Yujie turned around, many people said that his smile was warm, but when he saw her smile, he knew what warmth was, it was the warmth of the essence of life.
A person can have such a warm and transparent smile after such a terrible catastrophe.
"Are you still scared?" He walked up to her and asked.
She nodded.
"What are you afraid of?"
Under his gentle gaze, she spoke slowly. "At first it was dark all around, and the cabin was always shaky, but then the cabin started to seep water, and it was very cold, and the shaking got worse and worse...... I was afraid of the feeling of being overwhelmed by the sea, of dying. ”
In her clear eyes, the shadow of death flashed.
Without thinking, he leaned down and hugged her.
At the end of his nose was the peculiar smell of his body, a faint medicinal fragrance, better than the smell of herbs she put in her pillow. His embrace was very warm, and it also made her heart, which had always been restless, very steady.
Coming back from her stupor, she hugged his back hard.
"Remember this hug, the feeling of warmth, the feeling of being grounded." He whispered in her ear.
"Then I'll take a little longer." She said greedily.
She didn't know that he was not only trying to comfort her, but also by telling herself that she was really fine, that she was alive and that she had come back alive.
As long as you live, there is still room to make up for everything. Growing up, he lived cautiously and walked on thin ice, but he had never had any fear for his life or death - the first time he tasted panic, it was on her.
In the past few days, he has always been scared. Sometimes in the middle of sleep, I will wake up from a dream, and I have to try to discern that her return is not just a dream.
After so many days, he finally smiled again, "Okay, you can take as long as you want." ”
In his arms, the only haze in An Ruoer's heart was also dispelled.
He didn't dislike her because she couldn't walk on her legs. Instead, he hugged her like a treasure.
Even in a dream, she smirked "hehe".
Today is the first time An Ruoer has done rehabilitation. Bai Yujie's car stopped at the door of her house on time, and with the help of the driver, An Ruoer was allowed to sit in the car.
"I thought you'd be busy and wouldn't have time to come." Originally, her mother was going to accompany her, but she didn't expect him to call.
"Of course I'll come, today is important to you. It's going to hurt, but you have to keep going. He said softly.
In the rehab room, when she tried to stand up, she supported the wheelchair with her hands, but her legs could not be used at all.
After a long time, she finally got up with help, and she was so tired that she was panting and sweating profusely in pain.
Just by standing, she already felt like she was going to fall down at any moment, let alone take a step.
Learning to walk again, she didn't expect it to be so difficult. If it weren't for Bai Yujie watching from the sidelines, she really wanted to cry.
Bai Yujie returned home, and Su Xiaoxiao stopped him. "You'll have some time to come out tomorrow. Meet your Uncle Jiang's daughter for dinner. ”
"Mom, I rarely attend this kind of entertainment. You take Xiaojie with you. ”
"You just go and take a look, it's okay to take a picture, I heard that the girl has a good temperament and a good personality......
"Mom." He interrupted her again, "I'm going to accompany An Ruo'er for rehabilitation, and I don't have time." ”
"Oh...... Did she start rehab today? Has the injury healed, and how is she doing now? When it came to An Ruo'er, Su Xiaoxiao was also a little soft-mouthed.
"She's fine." In fact, it's not good at all, everyone can see that she is anxious to get better, but this is an abrasive and painful process, and she can't be anxious.
watched her endure and not cry every time, but in the end she couldn't even squeeze out a smile.
He really began to worry that her will would be worn away.
It's only the first day, and she's already exhausted.
But no one can replace her with this pain, and she can only survive it by herself.
"Xiaojie, I know that An Ruo'er is a good girl, and I was very satisfied with her being our daughter-in-law before, but now I ...... She's not right for you. Su Xiaoxiao hardened her heart and analyzed to him.
Even if she sympathized with this girl, she would feel guilty, but she could never compensate for her son's lifelong happiness.
"I asked the doctor, and the rehabilitation period is the most difficult period, and many people give up because they can't stand the pain. Even if she survives, it will take at least two to three years to recover. How can she take care of you in this situation? ”
"I don't need her to take care of me. In two or three years, I can wait, and even if she can't survive in the end, I can take care of her. ”
In short, he would never leave her alone.
Su Xiaoxiao had never seen her son talk to her like this, and she couldn't accept it for a while.
"No, I can't. My mother is not a hard-hearted person, and I feel sorry for what happened to her, as long as I don't marry you, I can agree to whatever she asks.
I have to find someone for you who can take care of you, not drag you down. ”
Marriage is not child's play, taking a step back, she can not care that the daughter-in-law who enters the door may be disabled, but her son's body is the most worrying thing in her life, and what she wants to prepare for him must be the best.
Bai Yujie looked guilty, "If all this hadn't happened, maybe I wouldn't have been able to marry her, but now I have to marry her." Only then can I make up for the guilt I felt for her. ”
