Chapter 104 Another sleepless night
Chapter 104 Another sleepless night
"What dream?"
She had never intended to tell anyone about her dream, not even her parents, let alone someone as unrelated as Fu Huaiyi.
But at that moment, perhaps the wind and rain outside were too strong, perhaps the orange light was too warm, or perhaps his eyes were too sincere.
Perhaps... perhaps everything was just right, and she actually told the story that blurred the lines between dream and reality.
“I dreamt that I couldn’t break off my engagement with Lu Jiangting and ended up marrying him.”
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
"He still puts Fang Qing and her child first in everything. I help him take care of the family and suffer a lot, but he thinks it's all my duty. When I'm sick, he tells me to tough it out and not to spend any money..."
She choked up again as she spoke.
Fu Huaiyi didn't know how to comfort her.
"That was truly a nightmare."
He saw a handkerchief next to him and quickly picked it up and handed it to her.
"It's alright, it's just a dream, it's all fake. You've already broken off your engagement with Lu Jiangting, let him suffer the consequences of the dream himself."
"But it looks so real."
"Don't worry, you're perfectly fine now, aren't you?" Right, he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, while I was away for a month, did Lu Jiangting come to bother you?"
Lin Yuyao wiped away her tears and nodded gently.
Fu Huaiyi clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked.
Lin Yuyao said, "But it's okay, I've caused him trouble too."
Ok?
"What trouble?"
"Fang Qing even spoke up for him and asked me to forgive him. I don't know what she was up to, but I didn't fall for it. I even encouraged Fang Qing to pursue him. In my nightmare, they actually got married in the end."
Ok?
Fu Huaiyi had never thought of it that way before.
After her reminder, he suddenly understood.
Yes, since Lu Jiangting is so eager to repay his debt of gratitude and take care of Fang Qing and her son, why not just let him marry Fang Qing?
That way, her son can openly call Lu Jiangting "Dad," preventing him from harming other girls.
If it comes true, many of his concerns will disappear.
He worried that after he and Yao Yao got together, Lu Jiangting would be resentful and cause trouble behind his back.
Rumors can kill.
He was not afraid of Lu Jiangting, nor did he care if Lu Jiangting talked nonsense, and he would not mind the rumors.
However, he knew that Yao Yao cared.
He must protect her well in every way.
Thinking about it this way, it seems he could also help them get together if necessary.
"They're getting married? That would be great."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
"The problem is solved, which is good for everyone."
Ok.
So he thought so too.
Lin Yuyao felt a little dizzy and had a bad feeling.
She seemed to have caught a cold last night, but she was fine during the day and the symptoms weren't very obvious.
After being exposed to wind, rain, and cold, she felt like she was getting a fever.
Lin Yuyao quickly sent Fu Huaiyi away and wrapped herself completely in the quilt.
In the countryside, people don't go to the hospital for minor illnesses; they just stay under the covers and sweat it out.
Fu Huaiyi didn't sleep well that night either, even though he was exhausted and sleepy.
It wasn't because the wind and rain kept battering his window, but because every time he closed his eyes, all he could think about was her.
His pale face was battered by the rain, and his long hair was whipped around his neck by the wind.
Her soaked clothes clung to her body, revealing her fair skin.
And that alluring, barely visible figure... it made every cell in his body scream with excitement.
The images, though fragmented, filled his mind completely, leaving no gaps.
The more I try not to think about it, the more I can't help but think about it.
He has no idea how he got through the night.
Lin Yuyao wasn't having an easy time either, because she developed a fever in the middle of the night.
Not only did I have a fever, but I also had a headache and body aches. I don't know what happened; it all came on so suddenly.
She was so upset that she couldn't sleep all night.
I broke out in a sweat and finally drifted off to sleep in the middle of the night.
In a daze, I heard someone knocking on the door.
Lin Yuyao poked her head out from under the covers and realized it was already daylight.
I checked the time; it was already 8:30.
Oh my god, she's going to be late for work.
Lin Yuyao quickly got up, put on her clothes and shoes, and went to open the door.
Standing at the door was Fu Huaiyi, carrying steamed buns, mantou, and porridge.
"Brother Fu? What brings you here?"
Fu Huaiyi looked at her, his heart filled with worry.
"I haven't seen you go out, so I went downstairs and bought you some food. You..."
Her hair was soaked with sweat, the kind that gets wet and then dries.
"Did you have a fever last night?"
Lin Yuyao nodded and stepped aside to let him in.
"Eat something quickly, I'll take you to the hospital in a bit."
Lin Yuyao shook her head and said, "No need, I'm already fine after sweating it out."
He recalled what she had said last night: in his nightmare, she was sick and Lu Jiangting wouldn't let her go to the hospital, telling her to just bear with it.
Even if it's fake, he's still furious when he hears it.
How could Lu Jiangting treat her like this?
How could you bear to treat her like this?
"Eat first, we'll talk later."
"I might not have time to eat; I'm going to be late for work."
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
Her hair was so dirty and messy that she couldn't wash it. She just used the water she boiled last night to wash herself briefly before going out.
Fu Huaiyi held the porridge to her lips, saying, "Eat some. It's hard to get better if you don't eat when you're sick. If it gets worse and you have to go to a big hospital, you'll have to get blood drawn and tests done, which will be very expensive."
It's... well.
At Fu Huaiyi's insistence, she drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, took a steamed bun, and left.
Before leaving, she gave the key to Fu Huaiyi.
Judging from Fu Huaiyi's appearance, he originally brought breakfast to eat with her.
She was in a hurry to leave, and couldn't very well kick people out.
Last night's strong winds and heavy rain brought the entire city into full autumn.
The streets were littered with withered branches and fallen leaves.
Pedestrians passing by had all changed into long-sleeved and long-legged autumn clothes.
She passes by a clinic every day on her way to work, and today the clinic was unusually busy, with a group of people surrounding the old man.
Lin Yuyao glanced around curiously and was surprised to see Fang Qing holding her son Wang Chen.
What happened? Did they also catch a cold from last night's downpour?
Congratulations to Lu Jiangting, his wallet is going to be in trouble again.
Lin Yuyao is always enthusiastic about going to work, but today she was ten minutes late, which surprised Liu Yihuan.
"Sister Liu, I'm sorry I'm a little late today."
Liu Yihuan smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little late. Yuyao, did something happen to you?"
Lin Yuyao said, "It's nothing. The strong wind kept me from sleeping well last night, so I overslept today."
"Oh, I remember you lived on the top floor. The wind was so strong there, it really affected your sleep."
Today is Sister Zhou's day off, tomorrow it will be Lin Yuyao's turn.
When Liu Yihuan went to get lunch at noon, Lin Yuyao unexpectedly received a call from her boss, Fu Leyi.
"I checked the weather forecast yesterday; it said the temperature would drop significantly in the southern part of the city today, right?"
