Mortal Desires

Chapter 12: Imagine

Views:

Su Yi woke up the next day and Xu Ruoxing was not in the ward. She was dazed for a moment when she opened her eyes. There were many people in the corridor, but her room was surprisingly quiet. This quietness reminded her of the dead silence in the room every time her parents had a quarrel.

She didn't know why she kept thinking about her parents. She had clearly tried her best to forget, but now every single thing, even the details of their quarrels, was so clear in her mind that it was tormenting her all the time.

The voices were pervasive, sharp and piercing, and her mother's cold words: "Ask your father if you have anything. I have to work and don't have time."

She walked to the door trembling with fear and saw her father dressed neatly. Before she could speak, her father said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

In a very impatient tone, she lowered her voice: "The teacher asked me to do a handicraft, but I don't know how to do it."

"Why don't you ask your mother? Isn't your mother in the living room?"

"Ask me everything? Can't you teach her?"

"Can't you see I'm busy?"

"Busy, busy, busy, busy! Are you not busy every day? If you are busy, you might as well not go home! Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you go home or not. Su Changhe, the thing I regret most in my life is marrying you! The thing I regret most is giving birth to this child!"

Su Yi clenched the white sheets tightly with her hands, her knuckles turned white, and her whole body was tense. She looked around, and the sound of controversy was getting louder and louder in her ears, almost piercing her eardrums. Her temples were throbbing and her headache was splitting!

Suddenly there was a noise at the door. She was startled and immediately got out of bed and opened the door. Xu Ruoxing came to her with breakfast in hand: "Are you awake?"

She was wearing casual clothes and didn't look as capable as she did yesterday. In Su Yi's opinion, she looked much softer.

Su Yi stretched out her hand and hugged Xu Ruoxing.

Xu Ruoxing was a little confused: "Su Yi?"

Su Yi put his arms around her neck, buried his face in her chest, his eyes slightly red, and said in a muffled voice: "Where have you been?"

"Buy breakfast." Xu Ruoxing took a step back, trying to distance herself from Su Yi, but Su Yi was still clinging to her. Xu Ruoxing cleared her throat, and a voice came from behind her: "Su Yi, why are you so clingy so early in the morning?"

It’s Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu rushed over early in the morning and wanted to buy breakfast for the two of them. As a result, she met Xu Ruoxing in the breakfast shop, and the two came back together. Who would have thought that they would see this scene.

She felt that she appeared at a wrong time, but she didn't say anything. Was she going to kiss him the next second

That would be even more embarrassing than it is now.

After Zhao Yu finished speaking, Su Yi raised her head from Xu Ruoxing's arms and looked at her: "Why are you here?"

Look at what she said. I never realized that she cared so much about relatives and friends before!

Zhao Yu said unhappily: "Buy you breakfast."

She sighed, with a melancholy feeling like a daughter who is married off and spilled like water: "Does your head still hurt? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Do you remember anything?"

Su Yi shook her head: "I'm fine." She paused: "I haven't remembered it yet."

She didn't remember any details about her relationship with Xu Ruoxing, but she was convinced that she liked Xu Ruoxing and was very dependent on her.

Xu Ruoxing sometimes thought that maybe it was transference. Under Zhao Yu's suggestion, she transferred her feelings for others to her, which made her seem like she was taking advantage of someone else's misfortune.
