C166 (1/2)
Yu Huan held onto Xiaolong as they stood at the exit of the airport. Her eyes were somewhat moist; after all, this was the place where she had lived for many years.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. ”I'm back.”
”Mama, is this your hometown?” The dragon's big black eyes looked around, its face full of curiosity.
The nearby Leaves pinched his little face, ”Xiaolong, you will like it here.”
Yu Huan smiled at Leaves and said, ”Ye-zi, I'll settle down first. After that, I'll go to the hospital to see uncle.”
Speaking of which, Leaves couldn't hide the sadness on her face and asked, ”Where are you planning to stay? Otherwise, you can stay where I am, and not in the hotel. ”
Yu Huan looked outside. A gentle breeze was blowing on her face, lifting up that strand of hair that had fallen to her forehead. She pursed her lips and said, ”There's no need, I'll go home now.”
Yu Huan never thought that she would ever return here. It was a place that held all of her memories, including her memories of joy, anger, sorrow, and Chu Yufeng.
She suddenly realized that she hadn't known Chu Yufeng for more than a year, but he had overbearingly taken over all of her memories.
Just like him.
In the taxi, Yu Huan looked out at the city. Five years had passed and the city had changed so much that she couldn't really recognize the city anymore. Time was indeed an extreme thing.
To be able to make everything become insignificant, to the point where even the most important matters and feelings were unable to endure the torture of time, from caring for someone to being carefree.
With one hand holding the suitcase and the other holding the little dragon, Yu Huan slowly walked towards the entrance of the district. The familiar house under her sunglasses was still standing there, and she felt an inexplicable sense of sadness.
Her eyes moistened. After all, this was her home. Even though it was empty, she still felt touched.
”Is that where Mama grew up?” Xiaolong raised his head and asked.
Yu Huan replied in a hoarse voice. She dragged Xiao Long towards her house and opened the door. The things inside looked exactly the same as they did five years ago.
It seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
After fetching two pans of water, she quickly began to clean up. Opening the window to cushion the musty smell, her eyes looked at the bed in her room and she unexpectedly thought of the two people from before.
The corner of his mouth curled up involuntarily as he sat on the bed. When he thought about how the man felt a faint pain in his heart. He really shouldn't have said 'tomorrow' to him yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't be blaming himself so much.
If people like Chu Yufeng knew she was back, would they chase after her?
As soon as she thought of this, she immediately rejected it. Even if he really did come back, she wouldn't see him again.
After returning, she found that she really had to busy herself with a lot of things. She found a kindergarten nearby for Xiaolong, and after taking care of all the matters, she went to the hospital.
Ye Zichen pushed open the door of the ward with a piece of fruit in his hand, while he peeled an apple. A female doctor in a white coat was recording something with her head down.
”Alright, that's all for today. I will come back tomorrow to check.”
After saying that, the female doctor turned around. Seeing the sudden appearance of Yu Huan, she immediately stopped and looked at her in surprise.
”You are... You are. ” The female doctor thought for a long time before crying out in surprise, ”You're Chu Yufeng's woman?”
With these words, the originally silent ward turned even more silent. As for Yu Huan, her face turned even paler. She didn't expect to meet Xiao Ya here.
The woman who had taken care of her for a period of time did not know that her label was Chu Yufeng.
”My name is Yu Huan.”
”Yes, yes, Yu Huan.” ”I have a very deep memory of you, because this is the first time the wind cares so much about a woman. You are special.”
Yu Huan's expression was still unsightly. She had already decided that the name of Chu Yufeng would be sealed and she couldn't bear to bring it up again and again.
”Thank you, Xiao Ya, but we aren't together anymore.”
Xiao Ya realized that she said the wrong thing after hearing what Yu Huan said. She let out a dry laugh and patted her on the shoulder, ”Huanhuan, I'll treat you to lunch.”
Yu Huan didn't refuse. After all, she felt quite happy to meet a former friend.
Leaves looked up and gave her a wry smile before handing the apple to the old man.
At noon, the two women sat in the dining room beside the hospital. From time to time, they would talk about their many years of experience.
”Huanhuan, you've changed so much.” Xiao Ya rested her chin on her hand as she looked at her. ”You have become elegant and steady.”
”You might as well just say that I've become very bored, but I'm indeed like that. Perhaps it's because the pressure these years is too great, but I don't have much to say.” Laughing merrily, Yu spoke.
Xiao Ya scooped a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth and continued, ”Back then, I thought the two of you would be together. Truly, things are messing with people.”
Yu Huan chuckled. When they were together, it was because of this so-called transaction. If the starting point wasn't good, what good ending could they expect?
”I'm doing very well now too. I'm very satisfied to have such a cute son.”
