Tongshan County Hospital at this time.
Rong Si followed Rong Xiaodi and Rong's father and huddled in a small area next to the bedside table. The three of them all had dumbfounded expressions, watching Fu Yankai move around among the gossiping women in the Rong family with ease. No matter who asked him a question, his expression was always smiling, and his answers were also very serious. Rong Si knew the situation of the Fu family, but these women didn't know. When they heard Fu Yankai say that his family had several houses in City B, his father was a businessman, and it seemed that his business was quite big, he had a car and a job, and he was so handsome, and while he was talking, he was like a boy who gave away money, distributing the gifts he bought everywhere, calling aunts and aunties very smoothly, and there was almost no shyness.
In fact, as early as when Rong Si met Fu Yankai, she knew that this man must be very popular with the elders, and he was mentally healthy and sunny. The elderly like to see such a lively and polite child. Didn’t you see that Rong Si’s always very picky aunt’s sharp eyes gradually softened. The second aunt who got a gold bracelet was even more smiling from ear to ear, and kept praising Fu Yankai and Rong Si’s eyes. Looking at Fu Yankai’s intimate eyes, Rong Si felt a little scared when she looked at her.
After more than two hours of noise and commotion, the hundreds of ducks finally left one by one. Rong Si and Rong's mother gradually breathed a sigh of relief. Rong's younger brother and Rong's father had already left because their lunch break was over, and said they would come back in the evening.
Because Rong's mother was so upset, she lay down and fell asleep as soon as the group of people left.
Rong Si leaned against the door, looking at Fu Yankai who had just returned from seeing off all the relatives, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
Fu Yankai looked at Rong Si who couldn't help smiling, and his pace gradually slowed down. He even started laughing with her.
It was not until the other person walked up to her that Rong Si took two steps forward awkwardly.
"You changed your clothes and bought gifts before, right?"
"After all, it's the first time for the son-in-law to come to our house, so we have to be more respectful and bring some gifts..."
"Whose son-in-law are you? Shameless..."
Even though it was an insult, but coming out of Rong Si's blushing mouth it sounded particularly coquettish and gentle, like the flirting between lovers.
When Fu Yankai, who was a bit thick-skinned before, heard Rong Si talking to him like this, he felt his cheeks getting hot for no reason and nodded stupidly, "Okay, I'm shameless..."
"You..." Seeing him so stupid, Rong Si subconsciously rolled her eyes at him, and then asked softly, "Did you decide to come back with me on the train? Why didn't you discuss it with me in advance? You scared me just now, did you know? I didn't react when you suddenly appeared. If..."
Rong Si was afraid that her mother, who was lying in the ward, would hear the rest of her words, so she turned her head to look at her, then gently closed the door, and took two steps towards Fu Yankai, saying in a lower voice, "… What if it's exposed? And how can you spend so much money on a gift? I saw that the bracelet you gave my second aunt weighs at least 20 to 30 grams. Look at her. She will definitely not take it off after putting it on. How can I pay you back in the future? My monthly salary is just that little, not even enough to buy a bracelet, you…"
The more Rong Si spoke, the more anxious she became. Her eyes turned red in an instant, and her hand subconsciously grabbed Fu Yankai's sleeve. She was not blaming him, but she felt that she would never be able to repay him in the future, and she still owed him such a big favor.
Seeing Rong Si almost crying with anxiety, Fu Yankai's heart was suddenly filled with heartache. He reached out and hugged Rong Si into his arms, "It's okay, it's okay. I have money. I wasn't bragging to your family before. My family does have some assets, and I have some savings. Buying some gifts is nothing. They are all your relatives. I should give them some gifts when I meet them for the first time. After all, we are... friends, right?"
Fu Yankai was thinking about what happened between him and Rong Si, as well as their current ambiguous state. He didn't dare to act rashly. Not only was he afraid of scaring her, but he also hadn't sorted out his feelings for Lin Lanshan. After all, it was a relationship of ten years, and it was really impossible for him to let it go immediately.
After hearing what Fu Yankai said, Rong Si raised her head with red eyes, and met his eyes in the dim hospital corridor.
"Thanks… "
Rong Si said lightly, then bit her lip, stood on tiptoe and kissed Fu Yankai on the cheek.
"Thanks."
She repeated it again, then lowered her head and didn't dare to look into Fu Yankai's eyes, "I went in... I went in..."
After saying that, without waiting for Fu Yankai to answer, he pushed open the door and entered the ward, leaving the other person standing there alone. After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and touched his cheek, and glanced at Rong Si who was in the ward taking care of her mother with her head down, and couldn't help curling up the corners of his mouth.
Unlike the time on the train, this time Rong Si really kissed him. She kissed him. She took the initiative to kiss him...
After Fu Yankai finished laughing foolishly outside, he immediately followed into the room and sat down next to Rong Si. He laughed for a while, then looked down at Rong Si for a while, and then laughed for a while again, like a fool.
Rong Si felt his silly look and just pursed her lips to laugh. When she looked down, she saw her mother looking at her with eyes open and smiling like an experienced person. Rong Si's face suddenly became redder. She reached under the bed and pinched Fu Yankai. He turned his head and leaned close to Rong Si's ear without noticing and teased her deliberately, "Si Si, what's wrong?"
"Mom, you're not asleep?"
Rong Si ignored him and instead leaned forward to tuck her mother's feet.
Hearing Rong Si say this, Fu Yankai's face turned red uncontrollably. He lowered his head with Rong Si and saw Rong's mother looking at them with a smile. He wanted to say something like, "Auntie, are you still awake?", but when he got to the point of saying this, his head twitched and he imitated Rong Si and shouted, "Mom, are you still awake? No... not... I mean... Rong Si, you... I just..."
After he finished shouting, Fu Yankai almost bit his tongue and tried to explain in a panic. However, when he thought that he was now impersonating Rong Si's husband, he really didn't know how to explain it for a while with his limited brain capacity. After being panicked for a while, he turned his head and looked at Rong Si eagerly.
Rong Si didn't even turn her head, so she couldn't receive his signal for help. It was Rong's mother who smiled and said, "Okay, okay, but I don't have any money now, so I can't give you money to change your name. It's not auspicious to give you money in the hospital. I'll give it to you after I'm discharged. Has Sisi been to Yan Kai's house? What did Yan Kai's parents say? After all, it's been a while since you got the marriage certificate, and the wedding should be held. I don't know when they will have time, we..."
"Mom, okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now, okay? You're still sick, don't worry about these things, we'll get in touch ourselves, the most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself, try to be discharged from the hospital before the New Year, and spend a reunion year together as a family, don't worry about the wedding, okay? Don't worry, your second aunt and the others just made you not rest well, go to sleep now, I'll wait for Dad to come, and then take Fu Yankai to find a hotel to stay in first..."
"You are both married, how can Yan Kai still live in a hotel? I have already cleaned up your room at home for you. Your father goes in to clean it every day. I specially changed it to a double bed..."
"Mom!" Rong Si's voice suddenly rose uncontrollably. She turned around in panic to look at Fu Yankai who was already stunned, then turned back to look at her mother, "No, Mom, we haven't had the wedding yet. Will the neighbors say anything if we live together now? A hotel is better, and Yankai has to deal with some work matters every night, which is very troublesome. He also has to make phone calls and so on. A hotel is more convenient..."
After she finished speaking, she immediately turned around and winked at Fu Yankai, and at the same time, she tugged at his sleeve slightly from below. This tug brought Fu Yankai back to his senses from the shock of having slept with Rong Si just now, and he hurriedly nodded to Rong's mother, "Yes, I'm very troublesome..."
Hearing this, Rong's mother looked at Rong Si and then at Fu Yankai. Rong Si could clearly feel that the corner of his mouth was raised less. Rong Si's heart trembled. Women of this age are always so perceptive. She knew that with Fu Yankai's IQ, he would never be able to deceive this always shrewd woman. However, it would be better for her to accept it slowly. This was also the main reason why Rong Si did not help Fu Yankai cover up his clumsy lies before.
"Okay, okay, I don't understand your affairs, so you guys make your own decisions. I'm tired, I'll take a nap first..."
"Okay." Rong Si smiled and nodded.
In the following days, Fu Yankai never left Tongshan County, and whenever he was free, he would come to the hospital to help Rong Si take care of Rong's mother. Rong Si could clearly see that her mother was becoming more and more satisfied with Fu Yankai, and she even completely ignored the three words "Gu Minglang" that Rong Si had said to her before, and often called him "Xiao Kai Xiao Kai" with great enthusiasm.
As the Chinese New Year approached, Rong Si looked at Fu Yankai who was still hanging around her, frowned and asked him, "Aren't you going home for the New Year? I often see you receiving calls from your family. Are they urging you to go home for the New Year?"
Hearing this, Fu Yankai subconsciously recalled the faces of those people at home who appeared sympathetic and pitiful but secretly mocked and ridiculed him. He really didn't want to go back to see them. The more people there were, the more "concern" they would show. In addition, Gu Minglang's worrying mother had been spreading the news everywhere. He was now very resistant to going back to the Fu family and even felt that it would be more comfortable for him to stay with Rong Si.
"Let's talk about it later. I'm not in a hurry anyway. I'll stay here for a while..."
"Is that so? Well then..."
On the 26th day of the lunar year, which was almost the Chinese New Year, Rong's mother finally left the hospital after her condition stabilized. The Rong family also happily started to prepare some things for the New Year. Rong Si could no longer take care of Fu Yankai at this time. Even the other party felt lonely and depressed when he saw the hustle and bustle of other people's families.
So on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, he said hello to Rong Si and the people of the Rong family, and told them that he had bought a ticket and was going back to City B to celebrate the New Year.
After saying that, the person left, but Rong Si learned from the system that the other party was still living in a hotel in a nearby city and had no intention of returning to City B.
After learning this information, Rong Si raised her eyebrows, but didn't pay much attention to it.
On New Year's Eve, Rong Si's family of four got up early, put up Spring Festival couplets, and had the New Year's Eve dinner at around five o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as the meal was over, Rong Si immediately packed up the dumplings she and her mother had made earlier, as well as some fried spring rolls and meatballs, into lunch boxes, changed her clothes, and prepared to go out.
"Sister, where are you going now?" Rong Rui looked at his sister strangely and asked puzzledly.
In the past, my sister would watch the Spring Festival Gala at home with the family. When has she ever been out of the house? And she brought so many delicious foods.
Even Rong's father and mother were a little puzzled.
Hearing them ask this, Rong Si sighed softly, "Fu Yankai had a quarrel with his family and lied to me that he had returned home. In fact, he is still staying in a big hotel in the city. I am a little worried, so I want to go over and take a look..."
"Oh, this kid... Really... I should have called him over earlier... Why is he so weird? This kid..."
"Sisi, please be careful on the road, okay? The snow hasn't melted yet, be careful not to fall, okay?"
"okay."
Before Rong Si's words of response were still ringing in her ears, she had already disappeared.
At the same time, on the other side, Fu Yankai was lying alone on the big bed in the luxurious suite on the top floor of the hotel. Turning his head, he saw clusters of fireworks blooming in the air not far away. As soon as he opened the window, he could hear the sound of firecrackers one after another. Compared with the dimness and desolation in his room, it seemed particularly noisy and lively.
Just at this moment, Fu Yankai's cell phone rang again. He knew it must be someone from the Fu family without even looking, because he had been receiving calls from them non-stop since yesterday, from his parents to his uncles, aunts, and even his grandfather, bombarding him one after another. Everyone else was fine, but what Gu Minglang's mother said was particularly interesting.
What do you mean by "if you don't come back, you won't forgive me and your uncle, you're just being mean to them, if you put them in a frying pan, what will people think of them? If he comes back, they will definitely serve him tea and kowtow to admit their mistakes, if he comes back...
There is no doubt that when he said this, all the relatives of the Fu family must have been present, and it was not necessarily said for him to hear.
He hung up the phone without even listening to the woman's words, and then couldn't help but call Rong Si, the only person he could call. He chatted with her for a few words and then turned off the phone. He only turned it on just now, and who would have thought that the call would come in again just after he turned it on.
Fu Yankai leaned against the window, looking at the brilliant fireworks outside, but he didn't care. No matter what they said, he didn't want to go back and face everyone. What should he eat in the evening? Pizza, maybe? He didn't know if it was still available...
Fu Yankai opened the food ordering app on his phone and screened through the options layer by layer.
At this time, the sky outside the window had almost turned blue-black, like a piece of fine brocade. Because Fu Yankai lived high enough, he could even see the fluorescent stars in the sky, which was quite beautiful.
Just when he was about to lose himself in thought, his cell phone rang again. He jumped down from the windowsill in annoyance. When he was about to turn off the phone, he suddenly saw the words "Rong Si" flashing on the screen. His hand subconsciously trembled and he quickly slid open the call to answer it. Rong Si's soft voice came in like the night wind.
"Have you finished the New Year's Eve dinner?"
"Of course... what about you?"
"I just finished eating. I'm so full. I've cooked some tea eggs at home and prepared some dumplings for supper. Do you guys want to eat some?"
"Dumplings? Of course! We eat them at home too... What are you doing now?"
"I'm going out to digest the food after eating. I feel a little full..."
When Rong Si said she was full, Fu Yankai happened to hear his stomach growling suddenly after being hungry for a whole day. Why was he so miserable
With an imperceptible sigh, Fu Yankai leaned against the bed and continued to talk to her while resisting his hunger, "So where has the snow melted now? The snow outside hasn't melted yet, so be careful, okay?"
"I'm not a child. Are you really in City B now? Why do I hear so many fireworks there? Isn't it forbidden to set off fireworks in City B?"
“I… I… Of course I’m in City B. City B has a special area designated for people to play with…” Fu Yankai sat up nervously.
"Oh, really? I was thinking if you were in the city now, I would come to see you, but since you are not there, forget it..."
"Are you free to come out? You want to come see me?"
"I'll come out to see you when I have time. You're not in the city?"
"I'm here, come out, come find me! Oh, no need, how about I go find you now? As long as you can come out, I don't want to see your family. I haven't returned to City B, but I told them that I have returned, I'm afraid they will have something against me. How about I take a car to your doorstep now, please come out, I'm starving, I've been hungry in the hotel all day, come out and take me to eat something near your house, okay? Wait for me, I'll come out to find you right away..."
"Open the door."
"Ah? What? Although I said I would come to find you, I'm not there yet. I'm still in the hotel and I have to go out to catch a car. You can't see me even if you open the door now..."
"Hey, open the door..."
Rong Si was so annoyed by him that she lost her temper. Since she was holding something in her hands, she just kicked it lightly with her foot.
Fu Yankai, who was changing clothes, was stunned when he heard the slight kick on the door. Then he walked to the door stiffly and opened it. Then he saw Rong Si standing at the door in a red coat, carrying various bags in her hands, looking at him helplessly.
In an instant, a large ball of fireworks suddenly exploded outside the window, perhaps to celebrate something. With a bang, it directly illuminated Rong Si's smiling face and shone into his heart.
Then he heard her say happily.
"Happy New Year!"
Fu Yankai didn't even put on his coat. He just stood there blankly, staring at Rong Si in front of him without blinking. His eyes were blank, and he didn't move for a long time like a sculpture.
Rong Si looked at him doubtfully, and then said, "New Year..."
Before she could finish her words, Fu Yankai had already hugged her in his arms, and he held her tighter and tighter, more and more forcefully, as if he couldn't feel Rong Si's presence without so much effort. The loneliness and desolation in the room just now seemed to gradually dissipate because of her arrival.
The two bodies were tightly pressed together, and behind them, clusters of fireworks exploded everywhere, creating the most gorgeous scenery...
Fu Yankai's current favorability: 98.
Rong Si smiled, put down the things in her hand, and hugged her back.
After the New Year, on the train back to City B, Rong Si looked down at her and Fu Yankai's tightly clasped hands, and leaned her head lightly on the other's shoulder.
"Will you take me to meet your parents after we get back?"
"Well, just like your parents said, it's time to put our affairs on the agenda!"
"Shameless, who would want to marry you..."
Rong Si poked him, but her smile became even sweeter.
Fu Yankai lowered his head and kissed Rong Si's forehead. He would solve it. He would solve the problems of the Fu family, the Gu family, and the Lin family. As long as he and Rong Si truly loved each other, there was nothing that could not be solved.
Unfortunately, all this determination and confidence turned into shock and a faint sense of panic after they left the train station and saw Lin Ruidong standing outside the station and smiling at them.
He always felt that the other party's appearance now might drag him and Rong Si into another hopeless abyss at any time.
Sure enough, the next second, he saw Lin Ruidong take two steps forward and spoke softly.
"Lanshan came back with him, and now they have both gotten off the plane."
With just a few short sentences, all the voices in Fu Yankai's world instantly disappeared from him. He couldn't even remember when he let go of Rong Si's hand.
Rong Si turned her head in surprise and glanced at Fu Yankai, who was in a daze at the moment. Then she actually saw a hint of pity and love in the eyes of Lin Ruidong opposite her.
She got into the car with them in a daze, and got off at the airport in a daze. Then she saw with her own eyes a tall and pretty woman take off her glasses and rush into Fu Yankai's arms, then kiss him madly.
That was five days after she and Fu Yankai confirmed their relationship.
She wanted to go forward in a daze, but Lin Ruidong stood straight in front of her and gently put his arm around her shoulders.
"Lanshan is Yankai's wife. They registered their marriage more than two months ago and have already informed all our relatives and friends. Now all that's left is to hold a wedding..."
But Rong Si refused to listen and still wanted to move forward.
Lin Ruidong held her gently in his arms, "The matter is too complicated. Fu Yankai already knew that you were Gu Minglang's wife, did you know that? And my sister, his wife, the woman he had been waiting for for ten years, was called Lin Lanshan. She disappeared with Gu Minglang one month after they got married. You are a smart person, so I think you should understand what he meant by approaching you before!"
Lin Ruidong loosened his arms, held Rong Si's shoulders, looked into her eyes and spoke seriously.
But in the next second, Rong Si's tears fell from her eyes...
