I lay on my bed and tossed and turned all day, listening to the breathing of the Xiao Jie beside me. After a night of not closing my eyes, the sky finally brightened up.
The entire Yu Family was in chaos, and everyone was busy with matters related to the wedding.
My mother and father suddenly came out of the room in a hurry. Seeing that I was still standing on the balcony staring stupidly at the scene, my mother, who was busy holding onto the brooch on her chest, anxiously asked, "Why haven't you gone to the wedding venue yet? What are you standing at home in a daze for, hugging Xiao Jie? "
I said, "Xiao Jie woke up late."
When my mother heard this, she didn't say anything. She waved her hand and said, "I'll be on my way with your dad later. It'll be the same car."
After saying that, without waiting for my reply, she led my father downstairs.
My mother and father had been busy at home until around eleven when we rushed to the wedding. At that time, we were in the same car, and I had been sitting by the window, coaxing the Xiao Jie. My mother had not stopped to answer the calls of congratulations.
After calling for half an hour, she finally stopped. She put the phone down and looked at the time again. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
My father was still there, comforting her, telling her not to worry.
My mom was furious, so she immediately asked, "What do you mean you're not in a hurry?" It's almost time for the banquet, who told you to drag it out so late? "
It was unknown if it was because they were both anxious or because my father was usually silent when he complained to my mother, but this time, he couldn't help but retort, "Who made it so late?"
Seeing that the two were about to argue, I immediately said, "Stop arguing, isn't the car leaving?"
After my mother heard my words, she temporarily stopped arguing with my father and just impatiently urged the driver, "Old Zhang! "Faster, it's too slow!"
Just as the car was full of arguments, I felt that the speed of the car was getting faster and faster. I looked up with Xiao Jie in my arms, and suddenly, a big truck was coming straight towards us from the intersection.
I heard myself scream, "Uncle Zhang!" Brake! The brakes! "
Before I could finish my sentence, our car seemed to go out of control as we frantically rushed towards the large truck.
Right at that moment, I subconsciously hugged the Xiao Jie tightly, I heard my mother scream in fear.
A huge inertia and impact suddenly came with a loud bang. Time seemed to freeze, and the entire world became speechless …
Many years later, when everything was settled, Wu Xia had once told me about the wedding ceremony. She said, in her eyes, there were no shortcomings to Yu Jin, whether it was a business or private matter, he could always use the most perfect way to settle them.
The only time she'd had the chance to see him lose control of his emotions was at their wedding. When he received my call in the car accident, he had stood there silently with his lips tightly pursed. It was as if he was the only one left in the world, his entire body filled with an indescribable loneliness and blankness.
At that time, she still didn't understand what had happened. After repeatedly calling out to him, who had lost his composure, she had not received a response from him until she heard him mumbling dejectedly, "My Little Wei …"
After the cup of red wine in his hand fell from his fingers, he seemed to have gone crazy. He didn't leave any words behind, and just ran away in front of everyone's eyes.
At that time, Wu Xia was wearing high heels and holding her wedding dress, chasing and shouting, "Yu Jin! Yu Jin! "
However, he didn't even look back at her. Without a word or explanation, he had left her alone at the wedding. She was the only one left to face all the guests, turning her into a naked joke.
She knew that she had lost. She was destined to lose her life to his beloved sister in this world.
When I woke up, the sky had even changed. At that time, Wu Xia was standing by my side and crying all the time.
I just sat there in a daze. I don't know why she cried, wasn't today her and Yu Jin's wedding? Shouldn't everyone be happy? Where's Xiao Jie? Where did she go?
I was surrounded by blinding whiteness as doctors and nurses went in and out of the room.
Blood, blood in front of my eyes, bright red, my mother screaming, making me hug my head and scream.
Wu Xia rushed forward and hugged me. She cried and said, "Little Wei, don't be like this! Calm down! Calm down! "
Wu Xia's voice didn't have any effect on me at all. I held my head, which was splitting my head, and rolled around on the bed. My screams echoed throughout the roof of the ward.
The doctors and nurses all rushed over and tried to hold me down with Wu Xia. Right at that moment of chaos, I covered my head with my hands and cried, "Brother, where are you!? I am afraid! "
Just as I shouted, Yu Jin rushed in from the outside. He quickly pulled away the doctors and nurses surrounding my bed and then tightly hugged me who was on the bed. He said: "Little Wei. I am here, don't be afraid, your big brother is here. "
After hearing the familiar voice, I cried out loud. I said while crying, "Brother, are all of my parents dead? What do we do? What do we do?"
I grabbed his shirt helplessly and cried in fear.
Yu Jin kissed my forehead, and repeatedly comforted me with a low voice: "I'm still here, Little Wei, big brother is still here. Calm down, don't be afraid, I'm here."
I was crying so hard I couldn't speak. I just stayed in his arms, and for a moment it was like he was my lifeline, my only support.
While I was crying my heart out in his arms, Yu Jin glanced at the doctor by his side. When the doctor understood, he suddenly injected me with a sedative while I wasn't paying attention.
After the tranquilizer entered my body, it calmed my body down a lot. I was almost paralyzed by Yu Jin's embrace and couldn't say a word.
After Yu Jin felt that I had calmed down, he hugged me for a long time. Finally, he slowly put me back on the bed with the nurse.
My head sank into a stupor.
There was someone speaking in the room, it seemed to be Yumann Ting, but it also seemed to be Wu Xia.
These scattered words were all about how to deal with the scene of the accident, what to do with the corpse, and what to do after the old tutor heard the news.
In the end, I finally lost consciousness and tiredly fell asleep.
When I woke up again, Yu Jin was in my room. Although I didn't turn on the lights, I could smell a faint scent of smoke in the air. It was the smell of Yu Jin.
I lay on the bed and looked at the darkness before me. I asked tentatively, "Brother?"
In the darkness, someone replied, "It's me."
Just as I was about to get up to turn on the light, Yu Jin's coarse voice sounded and he said, "Little Wei, don't turn on the light."
I paused, but I didn't listen to him, so I turned on the light.
When Yu Jin was exposed to the light, I was frightened. His eyes were red, and apart from his haggard state, he was also haggard. His dark tie hung loose in his collar and his eyes were a deep dark green.
When he saw me like this, he just sat there and didn't say anything. He smiled and asked, "What happened? Did I scare you?"
I moved a little and hugged him, then buried myself in his embrace and started crying again. Yu Jin did not move, and maintained his smoking posture, allowing me to hug him.
He was still smiling as he said, "What are you crying for?"
I buried my face in his neck and smelled his smoke. I didn't say anything.
He waited for me to cry for a long time, until my throat was hoarse. He then helplessly pressed the cigarette in his hand away, then pulled me into his arms and comforted me, "Don't be afraid, I'm still here right?"
When he saw my reaction, the smile on his face finally disappeared. He held me, stroked my hair that was scattered everywhere, and spoke with a serious tone: "Little Wei, we are all adults, so we have to accept them. No one will be with us for the rest of our lives, do you understand?"
I cried and asked, "Then what should we do?"
His eyes fell on the dim light on the bedside table and he whispered, "Move forward."
I replied with tears streaming down my face.
Yes, the path of life could only be taken forward and not backwards.
Wang Xinran and Chen Feng came to the hospital to visit me. Now, everyone on the streets knew that Yu Clan Enterprise died in car accidents.
However, since they came, there was nothing they could say to console us. After sitting with me for a while, Chen Feng suddenly frowned and asked, "Why did they suddenly crash? Do you remember what happened? "
I sat there and shook my head. "We were in a hurry, and my mother was urging the driver to speed up, and there was a truck coming toward us from the opposite direction. Maybe it was going too fast, so the driver lost control and went out of control."
Chen Feng still wanted to ask me something, but when Wang Xinran saw how I was frowning, she knew that I definitely did not want to recall the scene back then, so she immediately said to Chen Feng: "Alright, stop asking me that, you're not a police officer, why do you ask me so much?"
Chen Feng could only shut his mouth, but very quickly, Chen Feng was not able to stay there for long. Soon, he called, probably because he was not feeling well, Chen Feng spoke a few words of sorrow to me, then left hurriedly.
After Wang Xinran and I were the only ones left in the room, she suddenly held my hand and asked worriedly, "What do you plan to do?"
I was still lost in thought. I had no idea what she was asking, what she was referring to.
Ye Zichen looked at her blankly.
Seeing my reaction, Wang Xinran immediately became anxious, and said: "What will you do after such a thing happens? It is very clear that you and Chen Feng have divorced. Your parents are now … " In the end, she did not speak the latter half of her sentence. Instead, she changed it and said, "You can't stay in the Yu Family forever."
