Chapter 113 It’s her again
Seeing Jiang Ning's reaction, Cheng Shuyan became nervous.
"What happened to grandpa?"
Jiang Ning had a long face. "Grandpa said if you don't go back, he'll make me cry at your doorstep and say you're disloyal and unfilial!"
Cheng Shuyan closed his eyes.
"Jiang Ning, if you're so obsessed with acting, go into the entertainment industry, don't act here."
"Anyway, I've already delivered the message, and I even have plans to go shopping with someone."
Jiang Ning got up and left.
Before Cheng Shuyan could even have a moment of peace, Jiang Ning popped up again.
“Cousin, you haven’t had a single woman with whom you’ve had any scandals all these years. Look at Ye Chengyan, who’s about your age, and his child is about to start elementary school. Do you know that some people in the industry suspect that you like men? No wonder Grandpa is worried.”
She gripped the door panel with one hand, ready to escape at any moment.
Cheng Shuyan's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ning, "Jiang Ning!"
Jiang Ning pouted, "I'm telling you the truth, and you're still angry. By the way, cousin, how come I never knew you were afraid of the dark at your age and needed to sleep with a small lamp on?"
Seeing Cheng Shuyan's unpleasant expression, Jiang Ning quickly slipped away before he could lash out.
With a bang, Jiang Ning quickly closed the door.
Cheng Shuyan exhaled a breath of stale air and leaned against the headboard.
He turned his head and frowned as he looked at the pale yellow lamp on the bedside table.
Yeah, when did he start needing to turn on a bedside lamp at night, otherwise he couldn't fall asleep?
Cheng Shuyan gently rubbed his temples with one hand, unable to sleep all night.
The next morning.
After finishing breakfast, Yunzhi drove to the cemetery.
In this world, the two people she worries about the most are Cheng Shuyan and Tongtong.
Cheng Shuyan has lost all memories of her, so he probably doesn't remember Tongtong either...
Her heart clenched painfully.
The closer she got to Tongtong's grave, the more afraid she became.
Although the cemetery is managed by professionals and will not be dilapidated or overgrown with weeds, that's all the cemetery can do. The only other thing is to place some offerings in front of each tombstone during festivals.
I wonder if Tongtong envies that the other dead in the cemetery often have people visiting them.
She hugged the baby's breath tightly in her hands.
Ten minutes later, she stood in front of Tongtong's tombstone, tears streaming down her face.
Yunzhi bent over, crying so hard she almost fainted.
Next to Tongtong's tombstone, there is an empty grave.
That was something Yunzhi bought for herself.
At this time, a breeze blew by.
She seemed to hear Tongtong's tender and adorable voice from her dream.
"Mom, don't cry."
Yunzhi cried very loudly.
She half-squatted down, her voice almost cracking, "Tongtong, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, it's all Mommy's fault, Mommy didn't protect you well."
The wind picked up even more.
It was as if the people in the heavens were anxious but powerless to do anything about it.
After crying for an unknown amount of time, Yunzhi finally calmed down. She pulled out a tissue from her pocket and hastily wiped away the tears on her face. She lovingly stroked the cold tombstone with one hand, as if she were stroking her daughter.
"Tongtong, Mommy's here to see you. I don't know if you still remember Mommy. You should remember, right? You're probably the only one in the world who still remembers Mommy. I'm sorry, Mommy has been busy for the past month and can only come to see you now. Weren't you scared down there all by yourself...?"
Yunzhi talked on and on, as if she wanted to vent all the longing in her heart.
After Yunzhi finished speaking, she bent down and placed the baby's breath, along with the milk powder and bottles she had brought, in front of the tombstone. She also brought a large gift bag of snacks.
Just then, Yunzhi noticed a bunch of withered daisies in front of Tongtong's tombstone. She didn't know who had put them there, but they looked like they had been there four or five days ago.
Has someone come to see Tongtong?
In this world, besides her, does anyone else remember Tongtong?
A hint of doubt flashed in Yunzhi's eyes.
Someone must have put it in the wrong place, or it was placed there by the cemetery management.
Yunzhi stopped thinking about it.
Unbeknownst to her, not far behind her, Cheng Shuyan was holding a bunch of daisies in one hand, watching her back thoughtfully.
Cheng Shuyan recognized the woman even before he got close.
It's that strange woman from yesterday.
Why is she here?
Does she know the person buried in the cemetery?
Cheng Shuyan was completely baffled. He waited until Yunzhi left before going over. When he saw what Yunzhi had brought, his eyes were filled with deep confusion.
In his memory, all he knew was that this cemetery was the grave of the child of his very good friend, and he had been asked to visit the child often when he had time.
But he couldn't remember who this very important friend was, or what she looked like. He only remembered that she was a woman. He didn't even know how old the child in the cemetery was.
But that woman seemed to know something.
Cheng Shuyan half-squatted down, looking at the milk powder can in front of him. He couldn't help but want to chase after her and ask her about the identity of the little owner of this cemetery, but he held back.
He had a feeling that this wouldn't be the last time he saw this woman.
After leaving the cemetery, Yunzhi couldn't muster any interest at all.
She drove to the beach, barefoot, and walked aimlessly on the soft sand.
The sun overhead shone warmly on the clouds and branches.
But at that moment, she suddenly felt a piercing pain in the soles of her feet, and she almost collapsed to the ground in pain.
Yunzhi's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her body was trembling uncontrollably.
"What's wrong?" At that moment, a gentle voice rang in her ears, and she looked up to meet the man's concerned gaze.
It was him... that doctor named Qin Ran.
It turns out he's kind to everyone.
"My feet hurt." The pain in her feet quickly made Yunzhi forget everything else, and she almost gritted her teeth as she squeezed out those two words.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ran bowed slightly, saying, "Excuse me, I am a doctor."
Then, he raised his head with a serious expression. "Miss, you stepped on a nail, and it looks like a rusty one. You need to go to the hospital immediately, otherwise it could very well get infected and endanger your life."
Even Yunzhi almost cursed out loud when she heard that she had stepped on a nail.
Who is so rude as to throw nails on the beach!
Yunzhi gasped for breath in pain.
However, she knew that stepping on a rusty nail could indeed be life-threatening if not handled properly.
"Could you please call an ambulance for me?" These few words almost exhausted Yunzhi's strength.
She never imagined that her first trip to the hospital after her rebirth would be because she stepped on a nail—how embarrassing and ridiculous!
However, having been reborn with great difficulty, she cherishes this life very much.
"Calling an ambulance is too slow. I'll take you there myself. The hospital where I work happens to be nearby. Of course, if you suspect I'm not a good person, or if you think I'm being presumptuous, you can refuse me."
Qin Ran looked at Yun Zhi, waiting for her answer.
Yunzhi hesitated.
