Chapter 35 I'm always by your side (2)
bottle and dream

The next day, Yuanyuan got up very early, because Uncle Shenghua was going to take her and her mother to the hospital in the morning.When she walked out of the room, she subconsciously glanced at the next door. Cheng Bai's door was closed tightly. If his habits haven't changed, he should have gone to morning exercise.

After breakfast, Cheng Shenghua sent Yuanyuan's mother and daughter to the hospital.Cheng Shenghua's medicinal material business was busy, so he didn't stay in the hospital for long.

When Cheng Shenghua left, Dai Shufen escorted him out.

In the ward, Yuan Yuan, who was left alone, looked at grandma. The old lady was lying quietly on the hospital bed, no longer punching unreasonably and wantonly insulting her.

It can be said that Cheng Yuanyuan's family is very unfortunate.Yuanyuan's grandfather passed away early, and the old lady brought up Yuanyuan's father single-handedly, sent him to be a soldier, watched him marry a wife, watched him become a father, and watched him turn into a cold man. The corpse lay quietly by the river pond.The old lady has never liked Yuanyuan's mother very much, and silence is her most common attitude towards Yuanyuan's mother.After Yuanyuan's father passed away, she cursed and even beat Yuanyuan's mother from time to time, but then she became silent again, as if she didn't remember what she had done before.

Every time Yuanyuan recalls her family situation, she feels a little sad.Her mother didn't want her to grow up in such an environment, so when Uncle Shenghua told her mother that she could study in the city, her mother finally agreed even though she didn't want to bother others.

Yuanyuan didn't know what kind of feelings he had for grandma.They are relatives, but not close.Want to hate her, but can't hate her.

At this time, Yuanyuan suddenly saw grandma's head slightly lifted up, and murmured vaguely: "Bottle...I...I'm sorry..."

Yuanyuan felt depressed when he heard it.She subconsciously wanted to escape, so she sat down on the sofa farthest from the hospital bed.

After a while, Dai Shufen opened the door and came in, and found that Yuanyuan's complexion was not very good. She thought she was worried about grandma, and said, "After your grandma suffered a stroke, her health fluctuated. You can be discharged from the hospital. You took the long-distance train back yesterday, if you are too tired, go back and rest."

Yuanyuan shook her head, stretched out her hand to hold her mother's hand, looked up at her grandmother who had recovered from the bed, and said, "Mom, I'll stay with you for a while."

The mother and daughter sat down side by side.

"Mom," Yuan Yuan thought for a while before speaking, "Grandma's dementia has become more and more serious in the past few years, but she has never forgotten that she has no grandson and cannot pass on incense to the Cheng family. If... If I It’s a man, grandma wouldn’t treat you like that, right?” Yuanyuan said, feeling a little uneasy and wronged, “And that ancestral bottle, I haven’t even seen what it looks like, why is it gone? Also because of me?"

Dai Shufen sighed helplessly, and stretched out her hand to caress Yuanyuan's thin shoulder, "Mom has never felt any regrets because you are a girl. I don't agree with your grandma's thoughts, but I can understand her. Her life has been hard enough, as for that ancestral bottle..." Dai Shufen paused and said, "Didn't I tell you earlier, maybe it was stolen."

"But—" Yuanyuan wanted to say, but was interrupted by Dai Shufen, "Yuanyuan, grandma is fine here, as long as mom is here, don't stay in the hospital, go do your own business Go ahead. Be obedient."

Seeing that Dai Shufen wanted her to leave, Yuanyuan knew that she couldn't help if she stayed here, so she obediently said "Oh", said goodbye to her mother, and left the ward.

Walking in the long corridor of the hospital, Yuan Yuan still thought about the missing ancestral porcelain vase.Grandma always said that it was because the succession of the Cheng family's heirs was cut off in her generation, so the ancestors took back the porcelain vases, which was a punishment for them.To the science-educated people of her generation, this was ridiculous.

"Morning, Xiao Cheng."

"Doctor Zhao." Not far behind, a familiar voice came into Yuanyuan's ears.

Feeling the owner of the voice approaching slowly, Yuanyuan's whole body shivered, and immediately took big steps, rushing forward all the way, and didn't stop until he was close to the door of the building, because it was raining outside.

Yuanyuan was startled, the weather was fine when she went out in the morning, so she didn't bring an umbrella, forgetting that the weather in summer can change as it says.

"Run in such a hurry, are you rushing to reincarnate?" At this moment, a faint voice sounded from behind Yuanyuan, she shrank her neck and turned around, and saw Cheng Bai in a white coat.

"I still want to ask you, what are you doing with me?" After she finished speaking, she saw Cheng Bai holding a black umbrella with rain in his hand, and her eyes couldn't help but stay on that umbrella for a few seconds.Borrow an umbrella from Cheng Bai?Yuanyuan immediately shook his head in his heart.

Cheng Bai threw the umbrella to her directly, and Yuan Yuan hurriedly caught it.A drop of water splashed on her face, she raised a hand to wipe off the water on her face, and glared at Cheng Bai.

"don't want?"

"Don't be in vain!" Yuanyuan decisively took the umbrella and opened it, and walked into the rain without looking back.

Cheng Bai watched the slender figure walk away.It wasn't until he realized his long-lasting gaze that he gently pressed his forehead and sighed helplessly in his heart.

He just went to the office to change clothes before, when he saw her walking through the corridor outside the door.He glanced at the rain outside, and remembered that many years ago, she waited for him in the rain with an umbrella in her arms, holding an umbrella tightly in her arms.And later, she never waited for him like that again.

When Cheng Yuanyuan walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus, a man and a woman were sitting in a teahouse across the road. The man had an elegant face and beautiful brows. He took a sip of his lips.

The woman sitting opposite was his assistant. After he put down his teacup, he said, "It's nine o'clock, are we almost there?"

The man was calm and unhurried, and said calmly: "Don't worry, the event is at ten o'clock. If you walk over here, you will arrive at the venue in 10 minutes. If you go early, you have to deal with a lot of people. Let's drink some tea first to wake up." Bar."

The female assistant smiled and asked, "You just returned to China, and the jet lag has not been adjusted, so you didn't sleep well?"

"I dream a lot, and I don't sleep very well."

He said, looking out the window.

In the rain curtain outside, the shades of green trees and pedestrians passing by in a hurry are like a frame of scenery that rotates in time series, but he is outside the frame, not knowing where he is, what day and what night.

He only knew that there was someone he had to meet in this life.

"Fu..."

The man vaguely heard someone calling him, and he looked back at the assistant, "What?"

"Your phone is ringing."

When Yuanyuan returned to Cheng's house, Aunt Zhu made her favorite fried rice cake with crab, and the two had a simple lunch.In the afternoon, Yuanyuan checked the emails in the room expectantly, but the inbox was clean.Isn’t the Chinese department a panacea?Why did she send out so many resumes like mud cows into the sea, and no one heard from her?Yuanyuan wants to cry but has no tears.

To say that Cheng Yuanyuan applied for bursaries, worked hard to get scholarships, did chores for teachers, tutored, tuition fees and living expenses during her college years, almost all of which she earned by herself, like an invincible superhero.Cheng Shenghua has lamented this several times, this kid Yuanyuan is really sensible, yet he makes his elder helpless.

Now that Yuanyuan has graduated, naturally he urgently needs a job to make money.Because she has to support her mother and grandma, and she has to repay her uncle. "Giving people peace of mind, owes people anxiety." This is what her father said, and she always remembers it in her heart.

"Emails come quickly, and work and work come quickly. The sky is lingling, work, you come quickly. It is best to be an editor of a newspaper or magazine. I will love you very much."

Yuanyuan was sitting in a chair in front of the desk, and the chair could be turned, so she turned the chair while reciting the "magic spell", with her hands stretched to the ceiling, as if she was performing witchcraft.Then she turned around a few times, vaguely seeing someone standing at the door, she slowly turned the chair to face the door, when she saw Cheng Bai, she almost fell off the chair.

Because Aunt Zhu went out, she said she was going home to do some errands, and she had to go shopping when she came back, so Yuanyuan thought that no one would come before dinner, so she didn't close the door.Who would have expected Cheng Bai to appear at this time.Yuanyuan stood up abruptly, but as a result of turning around too much before, she felt dizzy for a while when she got up, not to mention stumbling around, and finally her knees gave way, and she knelt down on the carpet at the end of the bed with one knee.

Yuanyuan blushed so badly at the moment, and then heard the person at the door say, "Propose to me?"

Yuanyuan got up, but didn't answer, Cheng Bai seemed to be in a hurry, and didn't squeeze her any more, he just said "I'll get something, and I won't come back for dinner" and went to his own room, after a while He went downstairs again and left.

Yuanyuan then lamented, "I'm going to burn incense in the temple."

That night, Cheng Bai did not come back for dinner, but at the dinner table, Cheng Shenghua mentioned Yuanyuan's work.Yuanyuan didn't want to bother Uncle Shenghua anymore, but the resumes she submitted all fell to the ground, and she really needed a job urgently.

After a battle between heaven and man, Yuanyuan still accepted the "back door" Cheng Shenghua opened for her.Because of Cheng Shenghua's words: I can only open a door for you, but the way out of the door has to be walked step by step by yourself.

And what Cheng Shenghua introduced to her was a job as a magazine editor that perfectly met her ideal.
