She groaned softly. Her eyelids trembled as she opened her eyes. Under the dim light, she saw a milky white ceiling and pink-green walls. The light yellow floral curtains fluttered in the night breeze.
"This is …" Su Shuiche blinked in confusion. She was about to get up with her elbows when she felt a sharp pain in her arm.
It was … an IV drip.
There was still half a liter of IV drip in her slender right arm.
Was she saved by the citizens of Dragon Claw?
She recalled that two months ago, after her youngest son, Lin Xilong, married Little Jingyu of the Jiang family, she and Ah Yao traveled around the world again.
Before the accident, they were in Dragon Claw, one of the ten countries, climbing the famous Yangshan Peak to watch the sunrise with a few foreign businessmen.
Unexpectedly, they met a group of bandits at the top of the mountain.
Ah Yao shielded her and the others behind him. Just as they were about to finish off the group of bandits, they were startled by a large beast baring its fangs that came out of nowhere. While they were pushing and shoving each other in a panic, she slipped and fell down the cliff. Ah Yao was shocked.
At that time, she saw Ah Yao look back in a panic and then rush over. He seemed to have grabbed her arm, but because he didn't have time to exert his strength, he fell with her.
God!
Where's Ah Yao?
Could he be …
She struggled to get up, but she felt weak and couldn't even lift her arm.
"Ah!
Miss Su!
Miss Su is awake?
The patient in bed seven is awake!
The patient in bed seven is awake! "
"She's really awake?
Quick!
Inform her family … "
…
She came back after being in a coma for a year.
She returned to the Su family compound in Suzhou.
She was back to being the eldest daughter of the Su family.
No wonder she felt weak. For the past year, she had been lying on the bed in this state except for the massages and body rubs twice a day.
When she realized all this, she had mixed feelings.
She had thought of coming back, but now she hesitated.
She didn't want to leave Ah Yao there.
Whether he lived or died, she couldn't let him bear it alone.
However, even though two months had passed, her soul was still here, perfectly fine.
She passively accepted this world that was both familiar and strange to her.
"Lian 'er, the doctor said that he will give you a full body examination tomorrow. If you are fine, you can leave the hospital." Li Ruxi, the daughter-in-law of the Su family and the mother of Su Shuiche, said gently.
Although her daughter had woken up two months ago, the despair in her eyes had not dissipated.
She did not understand what had happened to her daughter.
Could it be that not only was she pushed by Deng Yun and her daughter, but they also took away her meticulously completed giant embroidery?
Were there other injuries that she didn't know about?
"Lian 'er, Madam Deng has already been divorced. Shui Yan is also grounded. Unless she marries, she can't leave her small courtyard.
Alas, Mother knows you're kind-hearted, but … this is the Old Master's order. "Li Ruxi sighed softly and roughly recounted the unforeseen events that had occurred in the Su Family over the past year.
Deng Yun's divorce was indeed ordered by the Old Master himself.
From then on, the Deng family would never be able to rise again, but she had secretly asked Tingyi to plan it.
Since they dared to hurt her daughter, she would not let the Deng family off easily.
Just being divorced, wouldn't it be too easy for her?
Although she didn't know how much money her husband secretly gave to Deng Yun, she knew that a broken lotus root would still be connected.
If she didn't completely disintegrate the Deng family, it would be difficult for her to dispel the hatred in her heart.
"Mother … I'm tired." Su Shuiche closed her eyes. She was really tired.
Both physically and mentally.
Her body had not yet recovered, and her heart had also withered.
Ah Yao, are you well?
She mocked herself. She had slept for a year to collect her undying soul, but what about Ah Yao?
Living in another simple time and space for more than twenty years, she was already unable to adapt to the tension and intrigue of the Republic of China.
In the past, she could put these intrigue aside and wholeheartedly devote herself to embroidery and reading, as if this was her small world.
But now?
Could she still be the same as before?
The gap in her heart could no longer be healed because of Ah Yao's departure.
Fortunately, Xiao 'er, Long' er, and Xi 'er have already found the true love of their lives.
Only Ah Yao …
… …
"Doctor Meng said that her condition is good and she can be discharged tomorrow.
She will be able to recover after resting at home for a while. "
Li Ruxi pushed open the door of the ward and brought the good news. But when Su Shuiche heard it, her heart couldn't help but tighten.
Leaving here and returning to the Su residence, does that mean she can't go back anymore …
"Shuiche?
What's wrong with you?
If there's anything, you can tell mother.
You look so restless, is there something wrong? "
Li Ruxi frowned and sat at the head of the bed. She scooped out the nutritious porridge brought by the maidservant and prepared to feed it to Su Shuiche. "That's right, Xinyi has been discharged from the hospital. If you are worried about him … Shuiche … your marriage with Xinyi will probably be held in less than half a year."
"Brother Xinyi?
What's wrong with him? "What do you mean he was also discharged from the hospital?
Su Shuiche didn't hear the latter part of Li Ruxi's words clearly and asked in surprise.
"Huh?
Didn't I tell you?
Oh, maybe you just woke up on the day of his accident and forgot to tell me.
Xinyi got into a car accident and was in a coma for half a month, but he's fine now. Yesterday, your brother and I went to visit him. Speaking of which, it's fate that he lives on this floor. It's just that you can't walk on the ground yet. When he's home, you can visit him when you have time. "Li Ruxi fed her daughter porridge while rambling on about the Wang family's troubles.
"But then again, Xinyi is also a considerate person. When you were in a coma, he came every month and kept persuading me that you will be fine and will wake up.
Afraid of delaying the Wang family, the old man wanted to annul your marriage with Xinyi several times, but Xinyi refused and said that he would wait until you woke up.
Now … "
"Mother …" Su Shuiche struggled to get up and tell her that it was impossible between her and Brother Xinyi, but Li Ruxi pressed her down on the bed.
"Didn't you hear the doctor? You are still weak, don't get up.
If you have something to say, just lie down and say it. "
"I … Brother Xinyi and I … It's impossible …"
"Mother also thought that there was not much hope before.
But now you are awake, Xinyi will have good fortune after surviving a disaster. What are you worried about?
Su family … and Wang family's marriage is necessary.
The old man will not give up such a good condition.
Lian 'er, you are different. Xinyi will treat you well, mother can see it.
He is not your father, he is different … "
Su Shuiche bitterly held Li Ruxi's hand. Even if Wang Xinyi is different from her father, so what?
Her heart has long been tied to an unknown time and space, a man named Lin Siyao.
After being married to him for more than 20 years, she never thought that she would have a chance to come back here. She also never thought that she would be separated from Ah Yao in such a situation.
She clutched her throbbing heart and panicked Li Ruxi went out to call the doctors and nurses.
She would rather faint and return to the place where Ah Yao was.
She was destined to disappoint the Su family. She was not the eldest granddaughter who would consider the overall situation. She only wanted to selfishly return to the time and space where Ah Yao was …
…
However, everything did not go as she thought.
She returned to the Su family.
She returned to the independent courtyard before her accident.
The days passed in her muddleheaded state.
In the blink of an eye, another half a year passed.
Except for her body which was not as strong as when she was in the main room, everything else had basically recovered.
"Big brother!" Su Shuiche stared at Su Tingyi in astonishment, "This … can't." She was already a married woman, how could she marry someone else?!
Even if the other party was Xinyi, whom she once admired, now it could not arouse any waves in her heart.
She only wanted Ah Yao.
Only Ah Yao.
If she could go back to the Su family after fainting again, she even wanted to hit her head against the wall.
But since she was discharged from the hospital, there were always maids serving her.
She was a little sluggish for a while, and a maid would test her to see if there was anything wrong with her.
In the past six months, she became the focus of the Su family's attention.
Whether it was the old master, her father, her mother who came to visit her once a day, or her big brother who came to her courtyard to sit for a while when he was free. Were they worried about her?
Or, did they want her to marry into the Wang family peacefully?
Although she did not know about politics, she knew that the marriage alliance with the Wang family, which was a big political battle, had become an urgent matter for the Su family.
Her heart was half cold, she should not think of the family who loved her so badly.
But she could not control herself.
Especially after her big brother threw such an explosive news to her.
"Shuiche?" Su Tingyi could not help but frown, "Don't you also like him very much?"
Although his sister hid it very well, how could he not see that she had special feelings for Xinyi, not to mention, "Xinyi took the initiative to mention it.
By the way, he asked you to meet tomorrow, you … "
"No, I can't.
Big brother, I … "
"Wait until you see Xinyi." Su Tingling said in a low voice, "Perhaps, you will clear your mind after seeing him."
In the end, he emphasized again, "Shuiche, whether you marry Xinyi or not, I will always support you. Don't confuse me with your father.
Otherwise, I will be very sad. "
"Big brother …" She finally could not help but shed two lines of tears, "I'm sorry …" How could she think that her big brother and mother would treat her like this?
No matter how the old master and father used her, it was for the purpose of the Su family. As for her mother and big brother, they were not happy to see it.
…
The sun at the end of October was still warm and comfortable.
Su Shuiche sat quietly in the courtyard with a travel book on her knees. In her mind, she reviewed the past ten years, when Ah Yao took her to travel all over the world, to the five continents and ten countries.
If, if they did not climb Yang Peak that day, if they did not encounter bandits, if they were not scared by wild beasts … Would everything be completely different?
She would still be with Ah Yao, leisurely traveling all over the world. Would she return to the beautiful home they worked hard to build every New Year's Eve – He Yuan, would she be able to share the New Year with her children and grandchildren …
A drop of tear fell on the page of the book, blurring the words.
She still kept her head down, allowing more tears to flow from her eyes, wetting the pages and blurring her eyes.
But she did not dare to do anything.
She was afraid that the maid waiting for her a few steps away would notice something strange.
"Ai, how can I be at ease when you are like this …" A soft sigh came from behind her.
It made her sit stiffen.
But she did not dare to turn around.
The familiar sigh, the unfamiliar tone, made her want to turn around but she did not dare to.
While she was frozen, a silk handkerchief appeared in front of her eyes, and then gently wiped her face.
"If you are like this, I will think that you are not willing to marry me. I have been your husband for more than ten years, am I really such a failure?"
Not missing the smile in his words and the words that were enough to shock her eardrums, Su Shuiche suddenly raised her head, "… Xin … Xinyi ge …" It was Wang Xinyi, not him, not him, she was hallucinating …
"To be honest, I am not used to this name, but since I can use it to find you, it doesn't matter." Wang Xinyi looked at her with a smile, gently lifting the corner of his lips, making her mesmerized.
"Wh … What?"
Su Shuiche looked at him in a daze, could it be … what she was thinking … "You … Say it again …"
"I can say it a few times.
But, are you sure you are not willing to marry me again?
You don't want me after changing the name? "
…
She put on the wedding dress again.
This time, she was getting married in a very grand ceremony.
Su Xiu's family and the old political figure became in-laws, and it became the top news in Suzhou and even in the country.
The super wedding banquet with five hundred tables was not over until the stars filled the sky.
Su Shuiche sat quietly on the big bed in the bridal room. She had not changed out of the wedding dress because she had not drunk wine with him yet.
She did not expect Ah Yao's soul to enter Xinyi's body.
He heard that after falling off the cliff that day, his soul followed her back to this strange time and space. He saw her wake up, saw her interact with her family, and saw her murmuring when no one was around. Only then did he understand that this was her real world.
He wandered in the hospital for a few days, not knowing how to get in touch with her. Coincidentally, a man about his age was in a car accident and was sent to the emergency room. When the emergency treatment failed and he was about to die, his soul successfully entered the man's body.
Even more coincidentally, the body his soul entered was Wang Xinyi, who was once engaged to her.
After his body recovered, he began to prepare for his marriage with her.
No matter what, he had to tie her to his side to be at ease.
But he heard that she was not willing to marry him.
She chuckled. How could she not be willing to marry him? After knowing that he was actually Ah Yao, how could she not marry him?
She couldn't wait to immediately fly away with him, even though the moment she thought of this, the blush on her face didn't disappear.
"What are you thinking about now?" The handsome man who entered the room smiled and leaned against the door, staring at her.
"No … Nothing … Have the guests left?" She restrained her shyness, got up and walked to his side to support him. "Are you okay?"
"What do you think?
Although I don't have any martial arts skills, I can still drink quite well. "He smiled and half pressed his body against hers." But now, I'm really drunk. "He was drunk by her beauty.
"You're so talkative.
I find that you're getting better and better at saying these things … "She glanced at him shyly and helped him to sit on the bed. She made a hot towel for him and brought two glasses of wine.
"That's for you."
He smiled. "God allowed me to be husband and wife with you in another time and space. I have no reason not to be satisfied." He was really satisfied.
After drinking the wine, they leaned against each other on the bed.
They enjoyed their first intimate contact in two months.
Although they often saw each other before marriage, the maids at home did not dare to look away before she got married, so she and Ah Yao could not be so close.
At most, they could only kiss each other's cheeks and forehead.
Comforting the pain of missing each other.
"You're finally back by my side." He sighed and then flipped over to cover her delicate body. "Shuiche, my wife …"
She could not help but moan softly. She looked up to meet his affectionate eyes and smiled. Their bodies and minds became one, intertwining into a song …
