Cheng Yue's injuries were not too serious. After all, they were in a busy downtown area and the driver would not be driving too fast. But it was mainly because the fog appeared too suddenly and she ran a red light, which caused her to hit Cheng Yue who rushed over and pushed her away.
The driver's legs were shaking when he got out of the car. It was really an unexpected disaster. After seeing Cheng Yue's injuries clearly, he felt a little relieved.
After calming down, the driver couldn't help but complain again. Today was really a mess. A couple had a quarrel, and the woman insisted on running into trouble on the street and running a red light, while the man insisted on showing his courage and affection to save his lover. It was a blessing in their previous life that they were not hit to death by the car. It was really a blessing that he was not driving fast.
Outside the emergency room, Wu sat in a chair, hesitant and dazed. The chill came out from her vest in waves, making her shiver uncontrollably.
"He's fine, Mangmang." Lu Sui walked over and placed his hand gently on Mangmang's shoulder.
Wumangmang jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, took a big step back, and turned his head away, not wanting to see Lu Sui.
Lu Sui really overestimated Wu Mangmang's mental state.
Although she subconsciously hugged Cheng Yue when he fell to the ground, she had no particular impression of what had happened to this person or what he was doing.
Now my foggy mind was like a boiling pot, filled with the shrill sound of brakes, noisy discussions, and the sound of ambulance sirens that said "It's over, it's over"...
Wu Mangmang felt a splitting headache. She supported her hands on the wall, slowly slid down to the chair, and held her head in her hands, telling herself over and over again that what had just happened was not real, it was all acting, and that as long as she woke up from a good sleep, everything would be over.
But another voice told her not to run away anymore, because this was real, Cheng Yue was back.
And Lu Sui would definitely know everything that happened to her in the past.
Although he knew that she had been in a mental hospital, he did not realize how crazy and terrifying she was at that time.
He would also not know how humble and cowardly she was when she knelt down in front of Cheng Yue at the airport and asked him not to abandon her.
In fact, she is not that beautiful, nor as outstanding as she appears to be. She is just a person who has been despised and abandoned by many people.
And one day, he will realize that he is so outstanding that he is not worthy of her, and he will have other better pursuits.
Wu Mangmang held her head and thought in despair. It turned out that she had been deceiving herself all along. How pitiful and cowardly she was deceiving herself. It turned out that the things in her nightmares had actually happened.
Wu Mangmang was immersed in her own world and feeling sorry for herself at the moment, and she had no idea what signal her state would send to Lu Sui.
Her first love came back. He was lying in the hospital to save her, and she could no longer see anyone else in her eyes.
Can't even stand your own touch anymore
Of course Lu Sui knew who Cheng Yue was, and he also knew that Cheng Yue was the knot in Wu Mangmang's heart, and that everything that had happened to Wu Mangmang in the past was related to this man.
What Lu Sui had not expected was that nine years later, Cheng Yue would still have such a great influence on Wu Mangmang. Just meeting him once made her completely collapse.
"Wu Mangmang, look at what you look like now?" Lu Sui is a strong person. Although he has tried to be tactful recently, he is not a person without emotions. "Just for Cheng Yue, you..."
Lu Sui forced Wu Mangmang to straighten his shoulders and look at him.
Wu Mangmang looked into Lu Sui's eyes and could read the anger and disappointment in them at a glance.
When he heard the name Cheng Yue, the voice in his head immediately screamed: See, Lu Sui knows everything, he knows everything.
The fog was so thick that I suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe.
The world around her became quiet at that moment. She could not see or hear anything, and her palms were full of sweat.
Wu Mangmang stood up tremblingly, and stumbled to push Lu Sui away. It felt like someone was strangling his neck, and he was suffocating in excruciating pain.
Wu Mangmang ran to the bathroom and almost vomited out his gastric juice. He felt dirty and smelly.
The following scenes passed by as fast as a movie. When Wu Mangmang came to his senses a little, he was already lying on his own bed in Lu's house.
===
"It could be panic disorder." Wu Yong said after listening to Lu Sui's description on the phone, "But I'm not sure yet. I'll come to find you now."
Lu Sui put down the phone, turned around and asked Annie, "Is Mangmang asleep?"
Anne nodded.
Lu Sui stood up and walked upstairs. He pushed open the door of the foggy bedroom, but did not see her on the bed. He looked around but could not find her anywhere.
Anne said nervously behind him: "I swear, I really saw the young lady fall asleep before she came downstairs."
"Ask Old Peter to turn on the surveillance." Lu Sui said.
The surveillance showed that Wu Mangmang did not walk out of the room. Lu Sui lowered his eyelids and walked straight into Wu Mangmang's cloakroom.
When she opened the closet door, she saw that Wu Mangmang was indeed huddled in the corner. When the light came in, she reflexively covered her eyes with her hands.
"It's foggy." Lu Sui pulled the closet door wider.
Strong people usually have a weakness, which is that they can't stand cowards who hide away when encountering problems. Lu Sui can usually handle anything with his own hands, but not today.
So he ruthlessly pulled Wu Mangmang out of the dark corner where she felt safe.
Wu Mangmang stood barefoot and dishevelled in front of Lu Sui. He pulled her in front of the floor-length mirror and said, "Look at yourself now, Mangmang. You are twenty-seven years old now, not seventeen."
What Wu Mangmang hated the most now was her own appearance. She stood on tiptoe with tears in her eyes and covered Lu Sui's mouth, crying, "Don't talk, don't talk."
Lu Sui looked at Wu Mangmang and was really angry at her for not fighting. He held her in his arms, touched her hair and said, "Mangmang, don't be afraid. I will accompany you in everything. No matter what decision you make, I will follow you. You are sick now, shall we go see a doctor?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Mangmang began to feel palpitations, sweat, and difficulty breathing again. She gasped for air and shook her head violently, "I'm not sick, I'm not sick, I don't want to go to a mental hospital, I don't want to go to a mental hospital..."
In fact, Wu Mangmang can no longer distinguish between the past and the present, and her brain can no longer process her emotions normally.
When Wu Yong rushed to Lu's house, he had no way to communicate with Wu Mangmang. He could only give her an injection and prescribe a week's supply of medicine for Lu Sui.
Lu Sui said to Wu Yong: "She vomited again just now."
Wu Yong nodded. "I'll prescribe a week's worth of medication for her first, and then I'll start treatment once her mood stabilizes."
Lu Sui nodded.
Wu Yong was still a little worried about Wu Mangmang, so he whispered to Lu Sui as he went downstairs, "Mangmang is very fragile now. Be more patient with her, and she will definitely get better. What she needs most now is your comfort."
Lu Sui looked at Wu Yong quietly for a while without saying anything.
Someone once said: Tomorrow, everything will be fine.
The next day, as soon as Wu Mangmang opened his eyes, he turned around and looked out the window. The weather was very good and it was foreseeable that the sky would be clear and the sun would be shining in a while.
The winter sunshine always makes people feel particularly happy.
It was rare that Lu Sui was still sleeping at this time. Wu Mangmang gently shook his arm and said, "Wake up, Uncle Fatty Liver."
Lu Sui's eyelashes moved and he soon opened his eyes.
"Get up quickly, it's time for us to go for a run." After saying that, Wu Mangmang turned over and got out of bed, pressed the remote control, and completely opened the half-open curtains.
Lu Sui propped himself up with his arms, looked at the mist and thought for a moment, "I won't go running today. Let's go to the hospital together after breakfast."
Wu Mangmang turned around and asked in confusion: "Why do we have to go to the hospital? Is anyone sick?"
Lu Sui was silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "Cheng Yue is in the hospital."
"Who is Cheng Yue?" Wu Mangmang asked with a smile.
No one would lose their memory without a reason. Wu Mangmang's behavior would only make Lu Sui more worried. He closed his eyes, and after opening them again, he said, "Mangmang, don't avoid the facts. There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. It all depends on whether you are willing to face it."
Wu Mangmang finally put away the smile on his face and turned away from looking at Lu Sui. “I’m not avoiding the facts. I don’t understand what you are saying at all.”
Lu Suicong took out the medicine prescribed by Wu Yong from the drawer beside the bed and handed it to Wu Mangmang, "This is the medicine Wu Yong prescribed for you."
Wu Mangmang took a big step back and shook his head, saying, "I don't take medicine. I'm fine. I can adjust myself. I could do it before, and I can do it now."
"I believe you." Lu Sui walked up to Wu Mangmang and stuffed the medicine into Wu Mangmang's hand, "But you need help now."
Misty tears flowed again, her hands trembled slightly, and she thought that her past would eventually become a nightmare of her life.
Lu Sui naturally liked her, but no one could accept a mentally ill girlfriend.
Just like her parents, who couldn't accept her illness, so they sent her far away to a mental hospital, wishing they could erase her existence.
Wu Mangmang took the pill out of the tin foil. She kept wiping her tears. She didn't want to cry or appear weak. She put the pill in her mouth and took the cup of water from Lu Sui. She wanted to hold Lu Sui's hand so much and beg him not to send her away.
But the 27-year-old Wu Mangmang already knew that when a person is about to leave, even if you kneel down or jump off a building in front of him, he will turn around without mercy.
"I will take the medicine well." Wu Mangmang said with his head down.
Lu Sui gently rubbed her misty hair and kissed her forehead, "I'll go wash up."
"Yeah." Wu Mangmang responded with his head down. Lu Sui walked to the bathroom door. When he turned around to close the door, he saw Wu Mangmang taking out all the remaining six pills on the plate and putting them into his mouth.
Lu Sui rushed over quickly and pinched Wu Mangmang's cheek, "Spit it out!"
"I'm sorry, I just want to get better soon." Wu Mangmang was frightened by Lu Sui's eyes and burst into tears.
She was sick, but not stupid. Wu Mangmang could clearly sense the impatience in Lu Sui's attitude.
She wanted to extricate herself from this mess as soon as possible more than anyone else.
===
The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.
After Wu Mangmang had breakfast, Lu Sui took him to the hospital.
"Do you want me to go in with you?" Lu Sui asked.
"No need." Wu Mangmang said quietly. Her mood now was much better than yesterday. At least she could think and communicate normally.
Wu Mangmang stood at the door of the ward, and this time she saw Cheng Yue clearly after nine years.
His skin was very fair, just like the fair complexion of the famous scholars of the Wei and Jin dynasties described in books.
His posture was exactly the same as it had been many years ago, as straight as a pine tree. Even when he was sitting, he looked tall and majestic.
And experience also gives him the greatest charm of a man.
Wu Mangmang thought that a man like Cheng Yue must be very popular among girls abroad.
"You're here." Cheng Yue smiled at Wu Mangmang.
Wu Mangmang nodded. Cheng Yue's mother had already stood up at this moment. "Mangmang, come and sit down."
Wu Mangmang was meeting Cheng Yue's mother. She had eaten at Cheng's house many times over the years. The food cooked by Cheng's mother was especially delicious, with the same flavor that Wu Mangmang liked.
"Aunt, long time no see." Wu Mangmang smiled faintly.
"Please sit down and chat. I'll go boil some water and make you a cup of tea." Mother Cheng said as she walked out, not forgetting to close the door of the ward.
"Are you okay?" Cheng Yue asked Wu Mangmang.
"Sorry, did I scare you yesterday?" Wu Mangmang said.
Cheng Yue was not scared, but he was certainly shocked. He had imagined meeting Wu Mangmang again countless times.
She might greet him politely, or respond indifferently, or ignore him, or even run up to him and punch and kick him, but Cheng Yue never thought that Wu Mangmang would react so violently when she saw him.
Whenever Cheng Yue thought about it, he felt both heartbroken and happy.
She felt heartbroken that she was hurt so badly by him, but she was also happy that she still remembered him in her heart and even liked him.
Cheng Yue and Wu Mangmang have been together for six years. He certainly knows how sincere and passionate Wu Mangmang's love for him is, so he has the courage to leave her, because he knows that they will be together in the future.
Cheng Yue stretched out his unbroken right hand and gently placed it on the back of Wu Mangmang's hand, and whispered, "Mangmang, I'm back, and this time I will never leave again."
Wu Mangmang looked at Cheng Yue's right hand and said nothing.
There were still scars on his hands from the injury he had sustained that year. Although they were very faint, they were still visible.
"I regretted it the moment I walked out of the airport in the United States, so much so." Cheng Yue said.
He regretted it so much that he went crazy. He was afraid that he had hurt Wu Mangmang too badly, but he didn't even have the money to buy a return ticket at that time.
Or maybe, he also knew that even if he went back, it would be of no avail, and he and the uncertain future would still be faced with a hurdle that they could not overcome.
"I called you, but you didn't answer. I wrote you many emails, but you didn't reply. I left you a message on QQ, but you didn't reply either. I know you are really angry with me. I'm sorry, Mangmang." Cheng Yue said.
Looking back at Cheng Yue in the mist, she did not receive any of those calls, emails or messages because she had collapsed at that time. Later, she sealed that memory in a CD like a movie.
"Can you still forgive me, Mangmang?" Cheng Yue gently stroked the back of Wu Mangmang's hand. There was no ring on her finger, nor was there a ring mark. "Mangmang, can you allow me to continue to fulfill the promise I made to you?"
Wu Mangmang looked at Cheng Yue, the person she loved the most and the person who had always been hidden in her heart. He was still perfect.
And as long as he said it, she believed him again.
Because he is Cheng Yue! The person she has loved wholeheartedly cannot be bad.
Cheng Yue did not wait for Wu Mangmang's answer. After nine years, he had become a mature man. Before Wu Mangmang answered, he had to give enough chips.
"I have never had any other woman over the years. In my heart, there has always been only you, only you and my future." Cheng Yue said.
He tried his best to hold Wu Mangmang's hand with his right hand, but the strength was still very weak.
Wu Mangmang's tears almost burned the back of her hand, "I'm not worthy of you." Wu Mangmang gently pulled her hand out of Cheng Yue's palm.
Cheng Yue smiled again, and this time his smile was uglier than crying. "I know you will never forgive me if I come back like this. But I will let you see my determination, Mangmang."
"You have never been unworthy of me. I have always been thanking God for letting me meet you and generously giving me your love." Cheng Yue said.
Wu Mangmang stood up hastily, "Sorry, I'm not here to hear this, I'm here to thank you for saving me yesterday. I have a boyfriend now, and we are doing fine."
Cheng Yue didn't say anything, but just watched Wu Mangmang turn around and leave.
As soon as Wu Mangmang opened the door, he saw Cheng's mother who had no time to avoid him.
Mother Cheng's face showed embarrassment and worry. She followed behind Wu Mangmang and said, "Mangmang, can we talk?"
Five minutes later, Wu Mangmang and Cheng's mother were sitting in the hospital garden.
"After so many years, you have become more and more beautiful." Cheng Huiyun said.
If you are careful, you may have noticed that Cheng Yue took his mother's surname. His father abandoned his mother before he was born. Cheng Yue was raised by his mother alone. For him, Cheng Huiyun never considered remarrying.
"Thank you." Wu Mangmang really didn't know how to respond to Cheng Huiyun.
"I saw your boyfriend, he's a very good man." Cheng Huiyun said again.
Wu Mangmang didn't say anything else.
Cheng Huiyun went on, "Cheng Yue is a child who always keeps his thoughts to himself. There are things he can't say, and as his mother, I really want to say them for him." Cheng's mother said straight to the point.
Wu Mangmang nodded.
"When Cheng Yue left you, I begged him to do so. As his mother, I put a knife to his neck and forced him to leave," said Cheng Huiyun.
"I am a mother, and I feel sad that he has endured the insults from your parents for you, and stood at your doorstep for a whole day and night, getting caught in a heavy rain and contracting pneumonia. I begged him so much, but he refused to leave. He said he had promised you, that you are the most beautiful and delicate porcelain in the world, and that you will break if touched, and he was afraid that if he lost you, he would never be able to get you back."
Misty tears immediately flowed out.
Cheng Yue said this to Wu Mangmang when they were passionately in love. At that time, she smiled and told him not to be afraid, as long as he was there, she would not be broken.
She said she was not that squeamish, and joked that if he was scared, she would major in porcelain restoration in college.
The past is still vivid in my mind. Those sweet words now sound shocking to me.
"I can't watch my proud son live like this, and I can't watch him give up his ideals. As long as you are by his side, he will never be able to fly." Cheng Huiyun said.
She was a little excited. She wiped her tears with her hand and handed over the handkerchief in silence.
"Thank you." Cheng Huiyun wiped her tears, "But Mangmang, I regret it. I regret it so much now."
Wu Mangmang didn’t understand Cheng Huiyun’s regret, but she had grown up and was mature enough to understand Cheng Huiyun’s original choice.
"Aunt, don't be sad. I can understand your original thoughts." Wu Mangmang gently held Cheng Huiyun's hand.
"You don't understand." Cheng Huiyun shook her head. "Cheng Yue has never been happy since the day he left you. You may not know that he sent money here once before he graduated from college. He got an offer from a very good company in the United States at that time, and he wanted to come back to propose to you."
"I am really happy for you. But that day, Cheng Yue went to see you excitedly, but he was very sad when he came home. He said that you had a new boyfriend and that you had a very good relationship. He also said that he was not worthy of you. No wonder you never responded to any of his messages."
Wu Mangmang listened quietly. She did have several boyfriends when she was in college, but she didn't expect that Cheng Yue would come back.
"What happened next?" Wu Mangmang asked.
Did Cheng Yue give up later
Cheng Huiyun said: "Later? Then the next day, Cheng Yue got into a car accident."
Wu Mangmang suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"He was in a coma for more than two months. After waking up, he did three years of rehabilitation before he could speak, walk and live normally like he does now. In those difficult days, he never gave up. Although he didn't say anything, I know he did it all for you. He always kept your photo in his wallet. Every time he was in so much pain that he wanted to give up, he would take out your photo and stroke it."
"I hated you so much at that time, but I was also grateful to you. Without you, Cheng Yue would never be able to stand up again." Cheng Huiyun's tears flowed again and again.
"He refused to let me go to you. He said that when you saw how he looked at that time, you would definitely sympathize with him and return to his side, but he didn't want to. Later, Cheng Yue finally recovered. He returned to the United States to complete his studies and now has his own career. So he came back." Cheng Huiyun looked into the misty eyes and said, "Mangmang, can you give Cheng Yue another chance?"
