The mother-daughter couple sat opposite him.
“Auntie, are you okay?” The young man asked politely.
“Much better, it's all thanks to the medicine Wang Yao brought earlier,” Tong Wei's mother replied. Although his face was smiling, there was a sense of coldness and distance.
“Tong Wei, when are you back? You didn't even tell me? ” Yang Ming asked with a smile.
“I came back the day before.” Tong Wei rubbed his forehead. His expression was a little grim.
He did not like the man in front of him, from the very beginning.
“Are you free tonight? I met some friends; do you want to join us?”
“No, thank you. I met Wang Yao tonight and went to his house for dinner,” Tong Wei replied.
It means very clear.
At that moment there was a knock from the door.
“There's someone here.”
“I'll open the door,” said Tong Wei, hurriedly standing up.
Ka-cha. The door opened, and Wang Yao stood outside.
“What took you so long?” When he saw Wang Yao, the corner of Tong Wei's mouth lifted. He dragged Wang Yao with his hands and entered the house.
What kind of situation is this?!
Tong Wei's intimate reaction left him stunned.
As he entered the room, he saw Yang Ming sitting in the living room, boiling with rage. He immediately understood Tong Wei's reaction earlier.
“Long friends?”
“Wang Yao, are you here?”
“I came to pick up Tong Wei for dinner at my home,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.
“Then I won't arrest you. Aunty, goodbye, Tong Wei, see you, ” Yang Ming said. Although there was a smile on his face, no matter how you looked at it, it was a bitter smile. When he passed by Wang Yao, Wang Yao could clearly see the hatred in his eyes.
Revenge for the murder of a father, hatred for stealing a bride— these people cannot live under the same sky.
Does this include stealing the bride?
“Hai Bu!”
“Yao, you are here, sit down!” Upon seeing Wang Yao, Tong Wei's mother's attitude instantly changed. He had already started treating Wang Yao like his own son-in-law. Exactly like the traditional Chinese saying: the more the mother-in-law sees the son-in-law, the more likable she is in her eyes.
Tong Wei's face flushed slightly, and she timidly sat down beside Wang Yao.
Having a beautiful woman sitting beside him, Wang Yao's breathing grew even faster.
At this moment, Yang Ming stormed down the stairs. His facial expression was as dark as rain clouds; it could almost squeeze out water. His reputation is hurt today.
“Wang Yao!” He raised his head, gritting his teeth. He hated Wang Yao so much that he wanted to tear his bones apart and split his skin. He would never have expected that his classmates who only knew this way of learning could win Tong Wei's affection.
Where can he study medicine?!
Yang Ming got into his car and sped away. As he left, he almost hit a pedestrian.
“Are you blind! See where you're driving!” The woman he almost hit yelled, glaring at her Audi A4.
“Today is a shit day!” Yang Ming sighed as he lifted the window of his car. Even though his eyes were looking forward, he was still thinking about what had happened before and not paying attention to the traffic intersection ahead. By the time he noticed it, the green light had turned red, and he had already defeated the red light. Furthermore, he narrowly avoided a collision with an approaching police patrol car.
Screeched! The patrol car hit the brakes. The policeman rolled down the window glass and stared at the back of the car going further and further.
“Hmph, still arrogant after breaking through the red light!”
As can be seen, anger makes people impulsive and causes them to do things without thinking. That's why it's important to curb your anger.
To be honest, Yang Ming's luck today wasn't too bad.
…
At Tong Wei's house, Wang Yao was still chatting with Tong Wei's mother.
“Are we going soon?”
“OK, give me a minute,” said Tong Wei. He entered his room and began to apply his makeup.
When he came out, the room suddenly became brighter. This is what is meant by “beauty like a flower with an appearance that can tear down the city.”
Wang Yao was stunned for a moment.
“How about we go?”
“Ayo.”
They both went down the stairs and got into the car. Tong Wei had bought some items.
“You don't need to bring gifts when you come to my house.”
“No, it's not inappropriate.”
The car did not go very fast. Wang Yao did not like speeding.
“When will you return to the island?”
“Tomorrow,” Tong Wei replied.
“So fast? Why not just a few more days?”
“You really can't stand me going?” ask Tong Wei while giggling.
“I can't.”
Having such beauty on one's side was truly an amazing thing.
“What if I return to Lianshan County to work?” Tong Wei asked Wang Yao, investigating. He's conflicted. He wanted to be with Wang Yao, but he did not like this small and gloomy city. He would rather live in a big city like an island.
“Do what you want to do, if you don't like it here then you don't need to rush back,” replied Wang Yao.
With his current finances, he would definitely be able to afford a house on the island, even though it was a bit expensive. However, based on his personality, he disliked the island but preferred his small mountain village and the quiet Nanshan Hill.
Regarding Tong Wei's visit, Wang Yao's parents took it very seriously and prepared a big party.
“Dad, Mom, we don't have a big party even during the New Year, right?” Wang Ru asked, unable to contain herself.
“It's not the same. If you bring back a good son-in-law, I guarantee we will prepare something bigger, ” replied Zhang Xiuying.
“As it were!”
While the family was busy themselves, a car arrived at the driveway. It stopped, and Wang Yao and Tong Wei entered the house. Mother Wang Yao put down the things she did and beamed happily.
“Halo Bu,” greet Tong Wei timidly.
“Good, good, you're here. You do not need to bring any gifts; quickly log in!”
He grabbed Tong Wei and brought her in, asking this and that, quickly forgetting his own son and daughter completely.
“When to get married?” Wang Ru suddenly asked a question.
“Hah?!” Wang Yao was stunned.
He really didn't think about this.
“Tong Wei this is really not bad. You should take this opportunity, turning raw rice into ripe rice before he changes his mind,” Wang Ru suggested.
“OK, okay, thank you, my sister,” replied Wang Yao, laughing helplessly.
After entering the house, Wang Ru also spoke to Tong Wei. When Tong Wei declared his intention to help prepare the food, he was forcefully rejected.
At night, the whole family gathers for dinner. Zhang Xiuying occasionally helped scoop food for his future son-in-law. Tong Wei stayed at Wang Yao's house until 8 p.m. before leaving.
“My mom is very enthusiastic; I hope you don't mind! ” Wang Yao said.
“Why Me? That's great!” tong Wei. She could also feel Wang Yao's mother's approval for her.
“Should I send you to the island tomorrow?”
“Ya, please!”
Wang Yao escorted Tong Wei to the entrance of his house.
“You go upstairs for a minute?”
“No need, it's already very late. Nor should we disturb your parents from their rest. You should also take an early break.”
“OK, carefully drive on the way home.”
“Groomed.”
After seeing Tong Wei go upstairs, Wang Yao left. Upstairs, Tong Wei gazed out the window, seeing Wang Yao's car leave. Only when the car was too far away to see did Tong Wei return to rest.
After returning home, he stopped the car and went up to Nanshan Hill.
The night sky of Nanshan Hill is wide and spacious. Thousands of miles away in Beijing, the night sky appears blurry to the point that the stars are no longer visible.
In the house, Su Xiaoxue lay quietly on the bed, still wrapped in bandages. In that spacious room, there was no one else but him. He lay quietly, unsure how long he had been there. Other than winking, breathing, and thinking, he felt like a dead man.
Where did Wang Yao go? When will he come back? He was constantly thinking about the blurry figure of the young man.
Will he not come back again…? A disease like I, is it not curable?
He suddenly felt desperate. Then, he recalled what Wang Yao had said, as well as the lines of scriptures he had read.
Why am I able to hear his words clearly, while the voices of others sound muffled?
“When is he back?” It was not only Su Xiaoxue who was worried, but also her family. This was especially true of his mother.
“It's only been a few days, why are you worried? Not Dr. Chen also said that Xiaoxue's condition has been stable for the past two days?”
“Stable? What if it has been stable for a few days? It could suddenly deteriorate at any time, ” replied Su Xiaoxue's mother.
“OK, up.” The middle-aged man waved his hand. “Your anger needs to be managed. I'm also worried about Xiaoxue's illness, but we can't be too pushy with Dr. Wangs. What happens if we arouse his anger and he does not want to return to Beijing?”
“Ya, yes, I understand.”
“Get Chen Boyuan visit him tomorrow.”
“Oke.”
The next morning, the wind blew.
It was May, and the sun was getting hotter. In the afternoon, the temperature is hotter.
Around 10am, Tian Yuantu came to Nanshan Hill. He wasn't there for a while.
“Hey, this hill is getting interesting!”
“If you like, come more often! After all, it was not far from Lianshan.” County
“Secretary Who called Me yesterday to ask Me to check when you are free to check on her mother.”
“Tomorrow...it's okay” replied Wang Yao after some consideration.
“Oke, I'll tell him that.”
“You must prepare a table and stone bench here,” Tian Yuantu pointed outside the house. “With this kind of weather, it would be nice to sit here while drinking tea.”
Tian Yuantu stayed for a while; then he and Wang Yao descended from the hill. He still had to go to Lianshan County in the afternoon and then escort Tong Wei to the island at night. Along the way, he would also deliver medicine to Wei Hai.
“Is the disease much better?”
“Ya.”
“When will you go to Beijing again?”
“In about two days.”
