"Shu 'er …"
She slowly opened her eyes and saw a handsome face a meter away from her. The young master was standing under the plum blossom tree, smiling at her.
"Ji Pei?"
She couldn't believe it!
She ran forward, but the distance between her and Ji Pei was getting farther and farther.
"Shu 'er, Shu' er …"
Ji Pei called out to her again and again, the smile on his face growing wider and wider.
The distance between them was getting farther and farther. She reached out to grab him, but the only response she got was the cold air.
In the next moment, his body also fell into an abyss. In front of his eyes, he was attacked by darkness!
"Lian? Lian? "
She was awakened by a man's deep and resounding voice.
When she opened her eyes, the light from the huge lamp above her head was so blinding that she had to slowly adjust to it.
What came into view was five or six people in surgical gowns and masks surrounding him. Pairs of eyes were staring at him, and there was a large round lamp above his head.
Only then did she realize that she was in the operating room.
"Lian."
A man gently touched her shoulder.
She looked sideways and saw a familiar face. His brows were furrowed with worry, and his eyes were desolate.
"Dad?"
Her parched throat let out a faint sound.
'Am I dreaming? Did I come back? '
"Lian! Lian! "
The man kept calling her name.
She wanted to reach out and touch his face, but her body didn't have the strength to do so.
Her vision gradually became blurry as she heard the word "Lian" being called.
"Dad … Dad …"
Her mouth kept calling, but everything in front of her became more and more illusory, gradually turning into a transparent shadow.
At this moment, she was extremely afraid. Her eyes were filled with fear.
"Dad! Dad! "
She shouted loudly. Her body was like a runaway horse as she abruptly jumped up from the bed.
Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her eyes were wide open in fear as she panted slightly.
Her vision also changed from white to clear.
She was in an unfamiliar room, but it was spacious and bright. The mahogany furniture was arranged neatly, and the four corners of the carved wooden bed were hung with light gauze curtains.
It was all a dream!
"Shu 'er?"
Wei Yi's voice came from beside her.
He seemed to be frightened, and his body shrank back the moment Ji Yunshu suddenly sat up.
Ji Yunshu's complexion was pale and her petite lips were dry and pale. She slowly turned her head and saw Wei Yi.
"Wei Yi?"
"Shu 'er, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? "
"Where is this?" Her voice was weak.
"This is big brother's home, the Grand Canal Manor."
Her pale lips whispered, "Why am I here? I … How long did I sleep? "
"Three days."
"Three days?"
"Yes."
One question and one answer!
Ji Yunshu raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat off her forehead. Only then did she remember. She asked, "Then, why are you here? About your parents … "
Before he could finish, Wei Yi had already answered.
His face was a little sad as he held back the tears in his eyes. "Father and Mother have been buried. Uncle Fu said that he will take care of the rest. I wanted to find you, so my brother brought me here. Shu 'er, are you sick?"
"I …"
"You can't be sick, Shu 'er. You can't be sick." Wei Yi looked nervous.
Ji Yunshu reached out to hold his trembling arms and shook her head. "I'm not sick, Wei Yi. Don't be afraid."
"Yes." He nodded and wrinkled his nose, feeling sour again.
Ji Yunshu caressed his head and lifted the quilt. She dragged her tired and heavy body out of the bed.
Her footsteps seemed to be glued as she slowly walked to the dressing table. She only stopped when she saw her thin and small body in the mirror.
She was wearing a white satin shirt with two wide sleeves and a skirt that fell to her ankles, accentuating her slender figure to the fullest.
Her pale face was still reflected in the yellowed bronze mirror. There was a long, dark red scar on the left side of her face.
From the cheekbone to the lower jaw, it was clearly visible. Even though there was no flesh turning outwards, nor was it hideous, it still made this originally delicate face look a little ugly.
After three days, the scar no longer hurt after applying medicine. Instead, a layer of dark red scab had formed on it.
Ji Yunshu's reaction was not as sad as she imagined. Her disfigurement was a very indifferent matter to her.
She raised her hand and gently touched the scar on her face. The corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
Without Ji Pei, what did her appearance mean to her?
Her heart was truly dead.
After a long time, she turned around and pointed at the scar on her face.
"Are you afraid?"
Wei Yi shook his head. "I'm not afraid. Shu 'er, don't be afraid either. Big Brother said that he will do everything he can to cure you."
"It can't be cured."
"It will definitely be cured." Wei Yi anxiously stepped forward. "Even if I can't get rid of the scar on your face, I won't despise you."
"Thank you, Wei Yi."
He blinked and earnestly said, "Shu 'er, you don't need to thank me. I like you and want to treat you well."
If that was the case, it would be sincere!
How lucky he was to have such a pure and kind person by his side?
Ji Yunshu smiled, but it made her ugly face look even paler than before.
She suddenly asked, "Wei Yi, do you want to go to the capital?"
"The capital? Where is that place? "
'What place?'
"I don't know either." A few faint words came out of her mouth.
But she knew that it was a tiger's den, a treacherous place. It didn't have the peace and happiness of Jinjiang, nor did it have the simple food and tea of a small family.
But in the end, the small and peaceful Jinjiang City, although peaceful and comfortable, still took people's lives. What was the difference between it and the capital?
After all, the human heart was everywhere!
But it seemed that she understood this truth a little too late.
Wei Yi pursed his lips and anxiously said, "Wherever Shu 'er goes, I will go. I don't want to be separated from you. If you go to the capital, I will also go, okay?"
Her eyes were filled with longing.
Before Madame Wei died, she promised her that she would take good care of Wei Yi.
Even though she had said that Ji Pei was dead, her heart was like dead ashes.
But she couldn't abandon Wei Yi. She couldn't break her promise to Madame Wei.
She gently nodded. "I promise you. No matter where I go in the future, I will take you with me."
"Shu 'er is the best."
Wei Yi's slightly swollen but calm eyes looked at her. The corner of his mouth revealed a rare smile.
It was as if in his eyes, he couldn't differentiate between her beauty and ugliness. Or perhaps, in his eyes, regardless of her appearance, she was the most beautiful woman in his heart.
