“Brother Yan.” Wen Ruoshui lay on the bed. When she saw that the man was about to leave, she stopped him.
Yan Yuanfei turned around and looked at the pale and haggard young lady. He comforted her gently. “Sleep well. You’ll be fine tomorrow.”
“Can you not leave?” Wen Ruoshui tightened her grip on the blanket.
She was scared. She was very scared now. She only felt her whole body turn cold.
“Okay.” Yan Yuanfei nodded, his heart aching. “I’ll get two blankets and sleep on the floor in your room.”
!!
His mother and grandmother would not let the two of them live together before marriage. If they found out, they would definitely teach him a lesson.
Wen Ruoshui felt even more uneasy. This kind of uneasiness did not reduce with the passage of time. Instead, it became more and more serious, so serious that she started to tremble uncontrollably.
Yan Yuanfei switched off the lights and lay on his side. Upon seeing her body trembling, he got up nervously and half-knelt by the bed. He reached out to test her temperature. Her skin was slightly cold, but she did not have a fever.
“Brother Yan.” Wen Ruoshui took his hand and whispered, “Can you sleep on the bed?”
She felt very empty. Everything was empty. The room was very empty, and the bed was also very empty. There was pervasive coldness everywhere, drilling into her skin and into her blood.
Yan Yuanfei was slightly stunned. He looked at her seriously. “You’re not afraid of me?”
Wen Ruoshui shook her head.
Yan Yuanfei smiled and laid a blanket beside her. He lay down and said gently, “Shui Shui, don’t worry. I’ll always be here. I’ll always be with you.”
Wen Ruoshui was on the verge of breaking down. After hearing his words, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. In a hoarse voice, she said, “My parents and grandfather also said that they will always be with me.”
Chu Chu had also said that she would always stand by her side, protect her, and support her.
However, her parents and grandpa had left her. Now, even Chu Chu was sick. The people she loved had left her one after another.
She did not dare to ask for anything else. She only humbly begged the heavens not to take Chu Chu away and let her stay by her side.
“I keep my word. I definitely won’t lie to you.” Yan Yuanfei’s big hand gently caressed her cheek and wiped away the tears on her face. “You can trust me.”
Wen Ruoshui stared at him seriously. Her weak and boneless arms hugged him tightly. Through the blanket, she buried her head in his embrace. Her voice was hoarse, as if she was asking him or herself, “If Chu Chu leaves, what should I do?”
Whenever she thought of this question, her heart ached so much that she could not breathe. Chu Chu was such a kind and cheerful girl. Why did the heavens treat her like this and make her fall sick?
“That won’t happen. You have to believe in her and yourself.” Yan Yuanfei hugged her gently and patted her back to comfort her. “Don’t be afraid. Don’t scare yourself. You’re afraid now because you thought of your parents and the snowy day. It’s causing bad associations.”
Wen Ruoshui’s trembling body finally recovered a little. Through the blanket, she felt the man’s strong and powerful heartbeat. Her emotions also stabilized bit by bit. “Brother Yan, sing to me!”
“Okay.” Yan Yuanfei started singing. His magnetic, rich, and gentle male voice was like the sound of nature when he sang. It was pleasant and made one feel at ease.
Wen Ruoshui did not know how much time had passed before she fell asleep.
Upon seeing her fall asleep, Yan Yuanfei carefully placed her arm under her own blanket and tucked her in. He looked at her lovingly and leaned over to kiss her forehead gently. In a gentle voice, he said, “Goodnight.”
In the middle of the night.
Wen Ruoshui was woken up by the sound of her phone ringing. She answered the call in a flurry.
In the next moment, her face turned as pale as paper, and her phone slipped out of her hand. Tears streamed down her face like broken beads as she cried silently.
Yan Yuanfei picked up his phone and heard Nangong Lengyu’s cries. “Shui Shui, did you hear that? Come over quickly. I’m already on the way.”
“Miss Dongfang…” Yan Yuanfei did not need to ask to guess. The person on the other side was crying so sadly and desperately. Miss Dongfang must have died.
“Second Brother, it’s me.” Huo Ci took the phone and said in a low and sad voice, “Dongfang Chu has passed away. Bring Second Sister-in-law over!”
Wen Ruoshui looked at the man in front of her. “I’m dreaming, right? Brother Yan, tell me, I’m dreaming, right?”
“Shui Shui.” Yan Yuanfei’s voice was hoarse as he looked at her with heartache. He did not know what to say, but he still had to tell her the truth. “Yu’er and Huo Ci have already gone over. Let’s go to the Dongfang family too.”
“No, that’s impossible!” Wen Ruoshui shook her head. How could this be?
Why had they done this to her?
Why did God take away everything she cherished? How could he be so cruel?
Yan Yuanfei found a black coat and put it on for her. He looked at her. “Can you walk by yourself?”
Wen Ruoshui nodded, her voice becoming increasingly hoarse and painful. “I can.”
However, as soon as she finished speaking, his vision darkened and she fell forward.
“Shui Shui.” Yan Yuanfei called out in panic and hugged her tightly.
Grandma Yan and Mother Yan also woke up when they heard the commotion. Upon seeing Yan Yuanfei carry Wen Ruoshui away, they sighed deeply, their eyes full of pity and heartache.
How old was that child from the Dongfang Family? How could she fall sick? She died in just a few months.
It was such a pity. It made one’s heart ache. She had left at such a young age. Her parents and elders had seen her die before her. How painful would that be?
Grandma Yan’s eyes were misty. No one knew this feeling better than her. She had sent her husband away at a young age and then sent her son away when she was middle-aged. If it weren’t for her young grandson and daughter-in-law, she really wanted to follow them and die.
Many people at the Dongfang family’s entrance could hear the cries from afar.
Wen Ruoshui woke up slowly, but her mind was still in a daze. When she looked at the Dongfang family’s door, she felt all her strength being sucked out in an instant. She held her throbbing heart and cried out.
It was late at night, and the people who came to see Dongfang Chu for the last time were all close to her.
Yan Yuanfei helped Wen Ruoshui walk into the Dongfang residence step by step. When he heard the cries getting closer, his heart felt incomparably desolate, regretful, and heartbroken.
Such a lively girl was gone just like that, disappearing from this world forever.
It was as if she had been standing in the Wen Family’s courtyard not long ago and greeting him with a smile. She and Shui Shui were almost inseparable. Wherever he saw Shui Shui, he could see her.
The moment Wen Ruoshui stepped into the bedroom, she felt cold all over. She knew that as long as she took this step in, she would never see Chu Chu again.
