Sure enough, Leng Dongming was lying on the bed with his back facing the door. Xin Yu looked at him as he slept. He was curled up like a baby. Her heart ached as she recalled a post she had seen on the internet analyzing people's sleeping positions. It was said that people who slept in this position lacked a sense of security.
Her father was lying alone on the big bed. His skinny body was curled up under the white bedding. Xin Yu felt her heart ache terribly.
She suddenly did not have the courage to take another step forward. She felt that she was really useless. All these years, she had sacrificed everything she had just to let her father live a better life. However, this kind of struggle on the verge of death, along with her own happiness and dignity, had been trampled under others' feet in exchange for this endless cycle of pain for her father.
…
She stood alone at the door for a long time before she finally moved her feet and walked towards the bed.
Leng Dongming was in a deep sleep. His thin cheeks seemed to have become even thinner after not seeing him for more than ten days. There were dark circles under his eyes and his complexion was very poor. Xin Yu sat by the bed and squeezed his skinny hand. She really couldn't feel any flesh. She lowered her eyes and tried to hold back her tears, but they finally fell.
They fell on the back of Leng Dongming's hand. She frantically wanted to wipe them away …
She didn't stay for too long. Probably because she was really afraid that she would break down emotionally, she sat there for less than five minutes before she quietly left. The moment she closed the door, Xin Yu didn't notice that the old man's eyelids, which were originally tightly shut, suddenly moved …
His skinny hands gripped the bedding tightly. After a long while, he slowly let go.
…
After Xin Yu came out of the hospital, she went back to her hometown.
She hadn't been back to the place where the Leng Family lived when they were still whole for more than five years. D City was a city that kept pace with the times. The streets and neighborhoods changed very quickly. Xin Yu searched for the place where they used to live for a long time. When she arrived, she found that the area had been turned into a commercial district. The houses on the entire street had been demolished.
Xin Yu looked at the unfamiliar scene in front of her and turned around in disappointment. However, she accidentally bumped into the person behind her.
The bag in her hand fell to the ground, and the person quickly said, "I'm sorry." Xin Yu looked up and found that it was a woman. Her hair was a little yellow, and her face was not very rosy. She looked a little thin, and her temperament made people feel uncomfortable.
Xin Yu was not discriminating against people, but she had a basic sense of vigilance in her heart. She took two steps back and shook her head. "It's okay."
Xin Yu squatted down to pick up the things on the ground. The woman opposite also squatted down and wanted to help her. Xin Yu hurriedly said, "It's okay. I can do it myself."
"It's okay. It's okay. I accidentally bumped into you."
As the woman spoke, she stuffed the note in her hand into her pocket. She helped Xin Yu pick up the lipstick and then handed it to her with a smile. "Miss, are you from here?"
Xin Yu was stunned. "What?"
"Oh, I'm asking you. Do you live in this area?" She then saw that there were many shops behind Xin Yu. She frowned and shook her head. "… That's not right. Did people used to live here? How did it become a commercial district? Did I get the wrong place? "
Xin Yu could tell that the woman's accent was not local. Although she had been in the UK for five years, she could still tell if the woman's accent was local or not. She coughed softly and answered, "… This place should have been demolished a few years ago. I'm not very sure about the details."
Xin Yu thought that the woman was someone she did not know. Perhaps it was because she had been in the UK for five years, so even if she had just entered society, she would not be too friendly with strangers. After she tidied up her handbag, she stood up and gave the woman a distant smile. She said, "… If you're looking for someone, you might have to ask the people in the other communities nearby."
She turned to leave, but the woman suddenly grabbed Xin Yu's wrist.
Xin Yu was shocked by her action. She already had a grudge against the woman. Now that the woman grabbed her hand so abruptly, she naturally became nervous. She instinctively pushed the woman's hand away and raised her voice with a frown. "Madam, what are you trying to do?"
"Oh … Miss, don't be nervous. I didn't mean to grab your hand …"
The woman probably realized that her actions were a little abrupt. She quickly apologized and explained anxiously, "… I just feel that you have a similar charm to someone I know. I would like to ask for your surname, miss, or what your name is —"
"You have no right to know her name or surname!"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, before Xin Yu could answer, a deep male voice interrupted them.
Both of them were stunned. Xin Yu's gaze shifted and she saw a man walking towards them. He had a tall and straight figure, wearing a beige casual outfit, a pair of black casual pants and a pair of sneakers. This man usually gave people the feeling that he was unruly and arrogant. Today's outfit made him look less arrogant and unruly. Instead, it made him look more radiant and sunny.
The man wore a pair of sunglasses and had both hands in his trouser pockets. He walked past the woman and reached out to grab Xin Yu's wrist. He frowned and looked at the woman opposite him. "Who are you? Why are you asking about my wife? I saw you just now. Did you deliberately bump into my wife? Let me tell you, in D City … "
"Lu Yihan!"
Xin Yu had a headache and tried to shake him off. She couldn't shake him off, so she gave up. She was curious. How did he find out that she was here? And it was such a coincidence that he appeared at this time. Seeing how he was glaring at the woman, Xin Yu couldn't help but reach out and tug at him. She frowned and said in a low voice, "That's enough. She didn't do it on purpose. Why are you here?"
Lu Yihan pursed his thin lips and didn't say a word.
The woman on the other side was a little embarrassed. She just took a few more glances at Xinyu and felt that there was some charm between her brows that gave her a familiar feeling. A thought flashed through her mind and she subconsciously wanted to ask, but she didn't expect that this woman already had a husband. And looking at this man's "protective" face, the relationship between the husband and wife should be pretty good.
…
Looking at the way this man was dressed, he didn't seem like an ordinary person. Even though she had been out of touch with society for a long time, she still had the ability to tell that he was either rich or respectable. However, when she thought about it, she felt that it was impossible …
If the people who were related to her in D City had a certain status, she couldn't have been there all the time.
"… Oh, I'm sorry, Sir. I didn't do it on purpose. I just thought that this lady looked a little familiar. I'm really sorry. It was an accident."
"What do you mean by familiar? You … "
"It's okay. It's really okay. We'll leave first."
Lu Yihan was about to say something when Xin Yu quickly interrupted him. She grabbed his hand and walked quickly to the other side.
She had never taken the initiative to hold his hand like this, and Lu Yihan had never been held by a woman like this before. A man like him who was favored by the heavens would never lack women by his side. Lu Yihan was a bit of a playboy in his bones. He was the one who had the most feelings for Lan Ruoran. For a man like him, holding hands and hugging … these kinds of overly innocent actions didn't suit him.
For a man like him, the relationship between a man and a woman was always consensual. They took off their clothes and went to bed to make love. They used the simplest and most direct method to give each other the greatest satisfaction.
However, he never knew that these kinds of satisfaction were just physical satisfaction. A person's spirit was probably always empty.
Lan Ruoran gave Lu Yihan this kind of soft satisfaction. She used the most charming methods and her body to constantly please this man. Lu Yihan never denied that Lan Ruoran really satisfied him the most in bed. For so many years, he was willing to pamper her, and he also didn't deny that there was such a layer of relationship between them.
However, as a person, he didn't only pursue physical satisfaction. He also pursued spiritual satisfaction.
And in these empty spaces, Lu Yihan now somewhat belatedly realized that there seemed to be such a person who used a kind of attitude that was neither close nor distant to slowly fill in another kind of feeling that he needed.
Her simple action was able to bring out so many emotions in him. Furthermore, it was in a realm of thought that he had never been involved in before.
…
Lu Yihan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. How did it change so quietly? What exactly was it about this woman that attracted him?
Because of this, he went to the Lu Clan early in the morning. He didn't see her, so he asked people to secretly investigate her whereabouts. In the end, it was to no avail. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he knew that it must have something to do with Qin Fangang.
