“It’s really true!”
"Is that correct?"
"I asked him several times, and he said he was sure he saw it right."
"I didn't lie to you, did I?" Shang Shiyu spread his hands.
"That means he is fine now." Liu Xiangru asked, "If he is fine, how did we get such news two years ago? That was a call from the Tang family themselves! Have you asked him how he is now and whether he has recovered?"
Speaking of this, Shang Shiyu still felt a lot of uncertainty and uneasiness in her heart. She shook her head, "When I saw him, I was just busy getting mad at him and didn't have time to ask these questions."
"Why are you getting mad at him for no reason? You didn't even ask about such an important matter!"
"He seems to be doing well. His hair and eyelashes have grown longer. He looks more energetic than before, but... still a little pale." Shang Shiyu prayed in his heart that he had recovered from his illness.
"How can you tell from his appearance? Didn't you tell from his appearance that he was seriously ill?" Liu Xiangru glared at her daughter. "You are also ignorant. It's good that he's back well. Why are you throwing a tantrum?"
"If he was really still sick, he wouldn't tell me the truth." Shang Shiyu's voice was low. She still felt bad about his sudden departure two years ago.
"Didn't you just say he sent you back? Where is he now?" Shangqiu asked, "Didn't you ask him to come up and sit for a while?"
"He wanted to come up, but I refused. I was afraid of scaring you guys, so I wanted to make it clear to you and let him come over another day."
"We are so happy that we don't even have time to be scared?" Liu Xiangru rolled her eyes at her daughter.
Shang Shiyu was speechless. He didn't know who was so frightened that his face changed.
——
Shang Shiyu returned to her room. She had just taken a shower and was sitting on the bed, wearing headphones and blowing her hair.
There was a song playing in her earphones and the whirring of the hair dryer in her ears, so she didn't hear anything outside at all.
I don’t know where Tang Wei will stay tonight. If he doesn’t go back to Youcheng overnight, he should stay in a hotel!
When she was lost in thought, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and her mother walked in with a smile on her face. She took out the new quilt from her cupboard. She took off her earplugs and asked, "Mom, why are you moving the quilt in the middle of the night?"
"You'll sleep on the sofa tonight. This bed has been requisitioned."
"What?" Shang Shiyu was a little confused.
"Okay, your hair is dry, come down quickly and don't sit on the bed!" Liu Xiangru unplugged the hair dryer for her, put it neatly in the drawer, and pulled her out of the quilt.
Shang Shiyu was stunned to see her mother rolled up her quilt in no time.
"Mom, wait a minute!" She realized that her territory might have been invaded by unknown creatures. She pressed down her quilt and said, "You can send me to sleep on the sofa, but you have to tell me who wants to sleep in my bed."
"Aunt Liu, I'll sleep on the sofa tonight." A voice suddenly came from the door, and Shang Shiyu felt that he must be hallucinating.
She turned back hesitantly and saw Tang Wei standing at the door in a suit and tie. He smiled slightly when she looked at him.
Shang Shiyu felt a little dizzy, "You... why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to visit me and your dad." Before Tang Wei could even open his mouth, Liu Xiangru interrupted him, "You think they are all as ignorant as you, Tang Wei is much more mature than you."
“…” Shang Shiyu felt that he was deeply hurt.
In the past two years, she has been the baby in her parents' hands. Not to mention teaching her a lesson like this, they were reluctant to say a few harsh words to her, fearing that she would be upset. But as a result, now that Tang Wei appeared, her family status plummeted, and no one treated her as a treasure anymore.
"Mom, he has been deceiving your daughter for two years. You and Dad are not angry at all, and you let him into the house so smoothly?" Shang Shiyu originally thought that her parents should also share her hatred of the enemy. At least they should pretend to do it.
Liu Xiangru pulled her off the quilt, "When he left, you almost lost your life. Look at what kind of life you have been leading these past two years, you have been in despair all day long, and all the gray hair on your father and I is from these two years. Now Tang Wei has finally come back, I thank God, Amitabha, I am burning incense to pray for you."
Liu Xiangru did not lower her voice at all when she spoke, and Tang Wei could hear it clearly.
Shang Shiyu just felt embarrassed and stole a glance at Tang Wei, "Mom, how can it be as exaggerated as you say? I'm obviously living a good life."
"Okay, live well, live well. Hurry up and carry your quilt to the sofa." Liu Xiangru pushed her quilt into her arms.
Before Shang Shiyu could even exert any strength, another pair of big hands had already grabbed the blanket. Tang Wei said gently, "Let me do it."
Shang Shiyu didn't refuse and let him hold him.
Watching his back as he walked out with the quilt in his arms, she couldn't help but raise her lips. When she realized that she was actually laughing, she coughed again and pulled the corners of her mouth down. What are you laughing at! She hasn't forgiven him yet!
This little expression was all seen by Liu Xiangru. She smiled with relief, knowing that her decision to let Tang Wei in was absolutely right. With his return, Shang Shang found the meaning of life again. But, I hope nothing will go wrong this time.
Shang Shiyu discovered that Tang Wei brought a lot of gifts this time, all for the two elders.
He was sitting on the sofa in the hall, talking to her parents. She curled up on the sofa with her quilt, wearing headphones, pretending to listen to music, but in fact she was listening to their conversation carefully with her ears stretched out.
"How is your health now?" Shangqiu asked, "Are you fully recovered? Are you okay?"
Hearing this question, Shang Shiyu hid in the quilt and held his breath.
After a while, Tang Wei replied: "The situation is still good now."
"Okay, that's good. Two years ago..." Liu Xiangru paused for a moment before continuing, "We didn't sleep well for several days after hearing that kind of news."
"I'm sorry to have made you worried. At the time... I was prepared for the worst."
"We are just small matters, just Shang Shang..." Thinking of the past, Liu Xiangru wiped away tears sadly, "It's hard for Shang Shang."
Tang Wei looked at the curled up body on the sofa, his eyes were deep and full of emotions. Liu Xiangru said, "She is a little angry, but she is just throwing a tantrum. You just need to explain to her what happened in these years. She is my child, I know her temper, and she won't be angry for more than a few days."
[When I wrote about Tang Wei's departure, I really wanted to recommend a song that fits the situation, but I didn't say it because I was afraid you would be sad. Now I recommend it to you: "Goodbye" and no need to urge for more updates. There will be more updates on the 11th. This extra chapter will end on the 11th. The next thing I'll write about should be the Whale Couple. After I finish writing, I'll officially say goodbye to everyone! ]
