C39

After Guan Youyou visited her sister briefly, she told her about Xiao Yu's illness.

… ….

She then opened Xiao Yu's drawer again, and saw a letter that hadn't been sent out yet lying in the corner. It was written on top of the letter: "Ah Bing accepts".

The letter started like this: Dear Ah Bing,

There are so many beautiful things in the world, so many beautiful scenery, I want to walk with you through a thousand mountains and rivers, want to be your eyes, see all kinds of scenery for you, then tell you. But do you know? I can't leave the Guan family to accompany you. Miss has been very good to me since childhood. Without her, I don't know how I would have been able to survive all these years. Although Miss looked very impressive, Eldest Miss often bullied her, and Madame often treated her badly. The Master who doted on her the most was often absent from home. If I left her, there would be no one to take care of her, and no one to protect her. Please forgive me, I can't be selfish enough to leave with you, and forgive me for wanting to be selfish enough to stay by her side.

… ….

Seeing this, Guan Youyou's tears had already drenched the letter. Her eyes were blurry with tears, and she could no longer make out the words below.

Wiping away her tears, she continued to read.

… ….

My dear, this is the first and last time I've written to you. Because when I finish this letter, I'm going to leave you, because I'm afraid that if I continue to see you, I won't be able to bear to refuse you.

Darling, do you remember? The first time you said you loved me was on that afternoon, when the warm sun was shining on you. I read you Tagore's verses, and you said you longed for the love in the poem, for the birds in the sky. You know what? How much I want to become your wings and take you to soar.

My dear, we had a quarrel over a little thing, and it's ridiculous to think about it now, it's nothing but a little thing, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have had a bad time with you. Life has been so hard that we should practice and cherish it.

… ….

I enclose my savings over the years, as well as some of the money I borrowed from the young lady. Not much. Don't mind it, and don't be embarrassed. I know you can sing on the streets now, but your income is meagre and your orphanage conditions aren't good. I hope you can keep it and return it to me when you have money in the future.

Good morning.

Love your rain.

Guan Youyou looked at the date. This was already a letter written half a year ago, Xiao Yu had not sent it out, and was probably hesitating. She looked at the envelope again, but the money was still there.

Guan Youyou ran to her room and took out a stack of money, then changed the envelope into a larger one and put the letter and the money together. She carefully stuck on the letter, planning to send it over to Ah Bing after a while.

… ….

While drinking tea with Guan Zhengyuan, Pei Zi Ming received a phone call.

The person on the other end of the phone told Pei that Xiaoyu's records of her rescue had been artificially destroyed. However, when they investigated the body, they found that the cause of death was indeed due to excessive blood loss. They just couldn't understand why she had lost so much blood.

Pei Ming thought about Lin Wanyi and Guan Qiqi's suspicious behavior, and after hearing that his sister Guan Youyou had lost so much money due to miscarriage, a terrifying idea popped up in his mind.

"Go and see if there are many tiny needles on the body that drew blood."

The person on the other end of the line fell silent for two seconds before he understood what Pei was trying to say.

… ….

After Pei Zi Ming finished his call, he came to Guan Zhengyuan's study with a grave expression.

Guan Zhengyuan noticed some clues, "Young Master Lu, is there a problem with the shares?"

Due to Lu Zhenhua's pressure, he was unable to return the shares to Guan Zhengyuan. However, he had promised to use other methods to make up for the Guan Family's losses. Of course, this was only if Guan Zhengyuan was willing to be his father-in-law.

This time, Guan Zhengyuan had been tricked by his wife, infuriated by his silly daughter, and schemed against by an outsider. He didn't dare to blame Lu Yiming too much. If he had to blame something, he could only blame himself as he relaxed his vigilance towards Lin Wanyi. Right now, Lu Yiming actually offered to make up for his losses, Guan Zhengyuan was naturally very willing. He even felt that this future son-in-law in front of him was someone he could rely on, not only Guan Youyou, but himself as well.

"That's not it. As for the shares, it's just like what we just discussed. As for the following matters, I will dispatch people to hand them over to you."

He paused, then changed the subject, "I want to ask you about a family matter."

"Speak."

"What blood type is Guan Qiqi?"

Guan Zhengyuan felt it was strange. He had thought that Lu Yuming wanted to ask about Guan Youyou, but who would have thought that he was actually asking about Guan Qiqi.

"Why does Young Master Lu want to know this?"

"Oh, I just want to know about today's operation. I heard the doctor say that there wasn't enough blood, but none of the people from the Guan Family donated their blood to her. I'm curious."

"Oh, it's like this. To tell you the truth, my eldest daughter is one of the few Rh-negative blood."

As if he suddenly understood something, Pei Ming came to a realization. But in front of Guan Zhengyuan, he still pretended to be shocked.

"I believe Young Master Lu already knows, that these two daughters of mine weren't born of the same mother. Aiyo, her mother passed away early, so in order to not let her feel sad, I wrapped Qi Qi and her up as twins. But Qi Qi's blood type is special, and she keeps it a secret from the outside world."

Pei Zi Yun changed the topic of conversation and asked, "That Qi Qi suffered a huge loss of blood today. He needs to save up enough blood in the hospital. Otherwise, he'll be in danger."

Pei Zi Ming wanted to probe Guan Zhengyuan and see if he knew anything about this matter.

"Hmm, I also find it strange. Initially, the hospital said that the blood source is not dangerous enough, but then an anonymous donor suddenly appeared. I was just about to thank him, but then I heard that he had already disappeared without a trace." Guan Zhengyuan sighed, he did not look like he was acting.

Pei was well aware of the whole story.

… ….

Soon after, the results of the investigation on the other end of the phone were as he had expected. Xiaoyu's arm was covered in various unhealed pinholes, which confirmed his hypothesis once again.

He knew that he was still unable to accept the truth that his mother and sister had joined hands to kill Xiao Yu. He wanted to protect her, to distance himself from them, and to distance himself from these kinds of harm.

However, the easiest way to do this was to get the Yo Yo out of this terrifying home and come to his side as soon as possible.

For this, he could pay any price.

… ….

Guan Youyou arranged Xiao Yu's things and returned to the orphanage on the west side with Lu Yiming.

This time, the children had all gone to sleep, and only the old Principal welcomed them. Guan Youyou placed all the daily necessities she bought for the children next to the children's pillows, and then went to the small, dark and cold room at the end of the corridor.

She handed over the thick envelope to Ah Bing and told him that there was a letter that Xiao Yu had written to him but hadn't managed to send out in time, as well as the savings that Xiao Yu had accumulated over the years.

Ah Bing took the thick stack of paper, and after thinking for a while, he asked Guan Youyou to read the contents of the letter.

Guan Youyou took the letter, and imitated Xiao Yu's tone, and started to make things up:

Dear Ah Bing,

You could still see it when you wrote to me, and I wasn't going to write back to you because you never saw it again.

But I still have a lot to tell you.

So, I think I can read it to you.

When I saw the request in your letter, I immediately decided to agree to it, but after all this time, I beg your pardon. I wanted to use my last days to see her safely off to college and say goodbye to her.

You know, she can't leave me. When Guan Youyou made it to this point, her own tears also streamed down.

Darling, I want to accompany you when you are unhappy, and I want to accompany you when you are happy.

Darling, I want to be your eyes and walk you through mountains and rivers; I want to be your crutch and kick the roadside obstacles away; I want to be your little tail and follow you all the time.

You know what? Life gave me a problem, to give me so loyal you, how should I celebrate? Life also gave you a difficult problem, to give you such a lovely me, and how you should cherish it.

… ….

Guan Youyou made up Xiao Yu's original farewell letter into a sweet letter.

In the end, she didn't forget to comfort Ah Bing.

… ….

Darling, do you know that I want to stay with you forever? But if one day, I can no longer accompany you, but also hope that you will be strong, brave to face all kinds of misfortunes in life, enjoy all kinds of happy life.

Promise me, will you?

… ….

When Guan Youyou came to this point, she gave Ah Bing a faint look.

Seeing his expression reveal a little light from his despair, Guan Youyou secretly praised in his heart.

Xiao Yu, please rest in peace, I will take care of Ah Bing and the other children in the orphanage for you.

… ….

It was already late at night when he left the orphanage.

Guan Youyou said to Pei Zi Ming who was at the side, "Can you accompany me for a walk?"

Pei Ming put on a coat for her and naturally took her hand. Although she never acknowledged her, the two of them walked slowly, like a pair of tender lovers.

They walked north along the goat's intestines behind the orphanage.

Guan Youyou raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

She turned to look at Lu Lu's well-defined profile. "Do you think the moon will feel lonely hanging in the sky alone?"

Pei Ming raised his head and pointed at a dim star not far from the moon, "Look, isn't there a star accompanying her?"

"Where is it?" Guan Youyou looked towards the direction in which Pei Zi Ming was pointing at.

She looked a little disappointed when she saw the dim star. "But they're a million miles away, you know."

"How could that be? It's not far." Pei Zi Ming held Guan Youyou's shoulders with both hands and moved her position slightly. After she stood still, the half moon landed on Guan Youyou's head, it was extremely similar to a crown.

Guan Youyou looked at him doubtfully, but he was only warning her to stand still in her original position.

Pei Ming raised his phone and waved it in the air, standing very close to Guan Youyou.

With a "kacha" sound, he pressed the button on his cell phone to take a picture.

Guan Youyou snatched it over to take a look.

In the photo, the moon was above her head and the stars were on his eyelashes.

The picture was unbelievably beautiful, her eyes were wide open. She had not expected that Mr. Lu would have such unique photography skills.

Surprised, Pei lowered his head and his lips fell on hers.

He drew away slightly, and the warm breath was on her face.

"Like I said, it's not far. It's just the distance of a kiss."
