Rebirth: Never Live Up to You - C63
As the bed was lifted, Grandma Gu Hui Ru leaned the pillow behind her and poured the soup from the thermal container into a bowl, and sat down on the bed and fed it spoonful by spoonful. This kind of Gu Hui Ru was extremely similar to her mother, and made her feel warm in her heart, the warm soup flowed down her dry throat, and warmed her heart, all the way until Gu Ru Hui left, but Chi Yi Nan never showed up.
“Wan-Jin, just lie still. The matter with the child was an accident, there’s no need to be too sad.”
Chi Hongtian felt somewhat guilty for what happened. If it wasn’t for what happened in his previous life, such a thing wouldn’t have happened today.
“Wan-Jin, not only you, Yinan is also blaming himself.”
Hearing that, Su Wenjin’s expression turned dark, as if he really didn’t want to hear that person’s name. After a long while, he finally heard his own voice, “Dad, I have something to tell you.”
Chi Xiong Tian and Gu Hui Ru exchanged glances. Gu Hui Ru carried the thermos and left the room. Chi Xiong Tian sat on the chair in front of the bed. She also sat up from the bed, her slender fingers tightly holding onto the quilt.
Chi Yinan had been standing outside the door the whole time. The moment he heard his mother say that Su Wenjin wanted to talk to his father alone, his tormented heart floated in the air again, and a bad feeling rose from the bottom of his feet. If his mother didn’t stop him, he would have rushed in.
“Warm Jin, you must have thought it through.”
“Yes, thank you, Dad.”
Chi Xiongtian sighed and suddenly became a lot older. His weathered eyes looked at his daughter-in-law who was lying on the sickbed without any blood on her face. He didn’t know if his next move was right, but it was undoubtedly her wish.
“Rest well. I will take care of this matter.”
Chi Yinan had been lingering at the door. Seeing his father come out, he rushed up to his father and was glared at by Chi Xiongtian, “I heard you didn’t come back the night before Wan-Jin’s accident. What made you leave your pregnant wife at home at night?”
Chi Xiongtian was not like Gu Huiru who doted on his son, he was extremely strict with his son. If Gu Huiru hadn’t blocked him, Chi Xiongtian’s slap would have landed on Chi Yinan’s face, but now that he was blocked by Gu Huiru, it landed on his shoulder, it was not light either.
“Chi Yinan, I think you must have gotten into some bad trouble in the industry. Don’t think that I don’t know what’s going on between you and that celebrity.”
Chi Yinan was extremely frustrated. If he hadn’t gone out that night, then nothing like this would have happened after that. “Dad, I have nothing to do with them.”
“A straight body is not afraid of a slanted shadow. From what I can tell, you’re not upright at all. You’re just fooling around.”
“Well, Old Chi, you don’t know about Yi Nan’s personality. He said there won’t be anything, so there won’t be anything.” Gu Hui Ru was reluctant to let her son get scolded, and she already knew the ins and outs of the matter. She was more or less resentful of Lin Jing’s existence, so Chi Xiongtian didn’t want to flare up. He kicked Chi Yiman’s leg, and walked towards the other end of the corridor with his hands behind his back.
The noise outside the door had lessened, and she guessed that her father-in-law must have gone back already. Thinking about the matter with her just now, her heart became calmer and calmer, and everything was about to come to an end.
During the past few days in the hospital, Chi Yinan didn’t appear in front of her, but she knew that he was right outside, that sometimes he would sleep in the middle of the night, and she clearly felt his presence. She didn’t open her eyes, but just let his warm fingers slowly move around her face, then she kissed him, and when she woke up during the day, he was no longer there.
After recuperating in the hospital for a week, she returned to the creek for the first time in a few days. She wrapped herself in a thick coat and stood on the steps as she looked at the man standing in front of her car. The sunlight of early winter was dazzling, and the halo was extremely beautiful.
Even though they were sitting in the back seat together, there was a distance between them. Since they were already in front of them, how could Chi Yinan give up such a good opportunity to get closer to her? He stubbornly grabbed her hand, and with the back of his hand turned blue due to the needles, he lightly placed his hand on it.
She felt the back of her hand heat up. She turned around and saw that he was blowing on the back of her hand devoutly. She didn’t smile at all when she saw his childish movements.
Her empty palm was ice-cold, just like his heart that had fallen into an ice cellar. Once again, he stubbornly embraced her in his arms, his arms tightening.
She quickly arrived at the stream. After getting off the car, she did not wait for him and walked straight back to the bedroom. Looking at the familiar furnishings, she felt so stifled that she could only gasp for breath as she turned around and walked out of the bedroom and into the guest room.
The guest room was very clean every day. When the windows opened, sunlight spilled in. She locked the door and went to sit on the tatami on the balcony. Her phone vibrated in her pocket. It was a short message. She apologized for being late.
Compared to Lin Jingsheng, she did not have much blame or resentment. Instead, she was more disappointed and annoyed with Chi Yinan, so she could not explain what had happened to her.
Chi Yinan followed her upstairs. The bedroom door was wide open, but she was not inside. Suddenly, he remembered something and his expression changed. He quickly went to the guest room. The door was locked, which proved his idea.
“Warm Jin, open the door.”
Su Wenjin did not move when she heard his voice. She was still staring out of the window, her eyes unfocused.
Chi Yinan walked around outside the door twice, wanting to smash the door and enter. However, he was afraid that she wouldn’t be happy so he had to go into the bedroom. He didn’t believe that she wouldn’t come out.
She sat on the terrace for a while, then went back to her room and lifted the quilt to lie down on the bed. Auntie Xue knew that she was not in a good mood to lose her child, and did not dare to disturb her, so she only knocked on the door at lunch time.
After eating a few bites, she could no longer eat anymore. Chi Yinan saw this and called for Auntie Xue to make another serving, but was stopped by her: “No need, I’m going to rest. Please go out.”
He did not want to cut off their shallow relationship. He reached out to close the door, and then, ignoring her wishes, he hugged her, tucked her in, and said confidently, “I will watch you sleep. I will not disturb you.”
