Mu Wan heard someone shouting her name, and then heavy rain hit her. She seemed to be falling continuously, and her body hurt. It was not until later that she finally stopped after a heavy bump on her waist.
She only felt a severe pain in her lower back. It was raining heavily and she was stuck on a tree trunk.
She wanted to move, but she couldn't move at all.
"Wanwan."
She heard another voice. She looked for the voice and saw Zhu Yunxi walking over holding the tree on the slope.
"Yunxi, I'm here."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." It was impossible to walk on the slope at this time. It was covered with weeds that were half waist high. The leaves were so thin and sharp that blood immediately appeared on the prick.
"I'm not afraid." Mu Wan tried her best to sit up, but her waist hurt too much, so she had to hold on to the tree trunk and wait for Zhu Yunxi to come over.
Zhu Yunxi was already in a state of embarrassment, and her clothes were even pricked by branches in many places. But he still walked over step by step and gave her his hand.
"My waist seems to be injured." Mu Wan gave him her hand.
"Don't be afraid, I'll carry you up." Zhu Yunxi said, really turning around to carry him.
"Don't." It's raining so heavily now, and there's no road on this hillside. It's difficult for a person to climb up, let alone carrying someone on his back.
"Don't worry, I have the strength." Zhu Yunxi approached her again and gave him a big smile.
Mu Wan felt warm in her heart. Zhu Yunxi always had a smile on her face and was full of positive energy. Seeing his smile, she seemed to be less afraid.
"I seem to be feeling better, Yunxi, please help me." Mu Wan put her other hand on his shoulder politely, and Zhu Yunxi helped her stand up. Although it still hurt, she could bear it anyway.
.
Zhu Yunxi was still worried about her: "Can you really do it?"
"I'm fine, let's hold on to the tree and go up."
"good."
They just held on to the tree and walked up step by step without seeing Dr. Wang or farmer Jiang. After climbing for a long time, they finally climbed up the trail.
"I think it's impossible for us to go back. Let's go to Grandma Jiang's house!" Zhu Yunxi said to her.
"That's the only way." The dirt road is full of water, and the cart has gone somewhere. I don't know where it went. If I go back to the village now, I'm looking for death.
Unexpectedly, they had only walked a few steps when they saw farmer Brother Jiang coming over wearing a raincoat.
"It's great to see you. I can't go back today. Let's go back to Grandma Jiang's house and stay one night." Brother Jiang said.
They thought so too, so they walked back along the dirt path.
Grandma Jiang's house even had power outage. This is the case in the mountainous areas here. When it rains heavily, sometimes the power lines are broken and there will be power outages. Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang are used to it, so they light the kerosene lamp and use firewood to boil the water.
"Take a hot bath first, and I'll make some ginger soup for you to drink." Grandma Jiang said to them.
"Thank you for your hard work, Grandma Jiang."
Grandma Jiang found the clothes of her son and daughter-in-law and gave them to them. The water was limited, so Mu Wan simply washed them and changed into a set of floral coarse cloth clothes. Zhu Yunxi also changed her clothes, and her hair was still slightly wet.
"Come, come, come, have a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold." Grandma Jiang said to them.
"Thanks."
"Everyone is fine. It seems like the rain will never stop. We can only make do with it for one night." Dr. Wang said to them.
"Yes." Mu Wan finished drinking the ginger soup and saw that Zhu Yunxi was also drinking, but there were several red marks on her wrists.
"Yunxi, you are injured."
"It's just a minor injury." Zhu Yunxi smiled, not caring at all.
"Go to bed early." Grandma Jiang packed up her son's and daughter-in-law's rooms and came out. She also packed out a small room. The three men slept in the big room, and she and Grandma Jiang slept in the small room.
"OK."
Mu Wan was not sleepy at all, standing at the door of the house listening to the sound of rain.
Zhu Yunxi came over to accompany her and saw that she was worried.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, go to sleep." Mu Wan smiled at him and went back to the room to sleep.
Maybe it was a strange place, Grandma Jiang was sleeping next to her, and there was still a little snoring, so Mu Wan couldn't fall asleep. It seemed that the rain outside had stopped, and there were even stars, so she took Grandma Jiang's coat and put it on
, walking on the threshold of their backyard.
After it rained, the night air was moist and smelled of earth. When she looked up at the stars in the sky, she counted them carefully and could see the Big Dipper.
"Can't you sleep either?" Zhu Yunxi also came out and sat with her.
"Um."
"Wanwan, do you mind telling me about you?" Zhu Yunxi said quietly, "You still have feelings for Mr. Wen, right?"
"He is the father of my son." Mu Wan stated the facts calmly.
Zhu Yunxi looked at her beautiful side face. The light was dim, but her eyes were as bright as stars, which attracted him deeply.
"Actually, I never thought that I would like someone." Mu Wan didn't look at him, quietly looking at the stars in the sky and slowly said, "I used to think that love is not such a beautiful thing, even family affection can be
Abandoned, let alone two people who have nothing to do with each other in the first place?"
"I quite hate him." She didn't expect Zhu Yunxi to answer anything, and just said to herself, "He is arrogant, domineering, and self-righteous. Anyway, he has all the things I hate."
Zhu Yunxi's heart sank inexplicably when he heard these words. He had a premonition that he was afraid that he would have no chance.
"Isn't it funny to fall in love with someone you hate?" She turned to him and asked him with a smile.
Zhu Yunxi did not answer, because Wanwan's expression was not smiling at all, but bitter.
"I hate myself sometimes. I have told myself many times that that man is not worthy of my love. He has hurt me too many times and broken my exceptions too many times. For the first time, I thought
When I was about to love someone, he gave me a slap in the face and told me that I was actually a fool."
"I think everyone is a fool in love!" Isn't he the same? From the first time he saw her, he couldn't take his eyes off her. He liked to follow her footsteps and did everything that would make her happy.
Happy things.
"Maybe it is, but I'm done with him." She said to him, but also to herself.
"But you still love him, but you are not happy." Zhu Yunxi pointed out the fact quietly.
Mu Wan's expression froze, as if she was struck by something, and she was a little at a loss what to do.
"He left, and you were not worried about Yan all day long. You said you didn't want to see him, but in fact you were quite happy when he came with you, right?" Zhu Yunxi felt that he was a fool. What was he talking about? He
It’s time to confess to Wanwan and tell her that he actually likes her very much.
"I see that he really likes you too."
"But I can't go back, Yunxi. Don't look at me. I usually act like a tomboy. I can do everything. I seem to be able to do everything by myself. In fact, I am a coward. I don't dare to do it again."
Zhu Yunxi saw tears in her watery eyes, and those tears also pricked his heart, causing him pain.
"Then are you willing to give the other one a chance? He will only care for you and love you wholeheartedly, and will never hurt you. He wants to protect you and take care of you for the rest of his life." Zhu Yunxi almost blurted out.
, my face turned red when I said it, but I didn’t regret it.
Mu Wan's expression was stunned. She never expected that Zhu Yunxi would say such things to her.
"I didn't mean anything else. I couldn't hold it back for a while." He saw her stunned expression and started joking, but her expression immediately turned serious again, "But, I am serious."
"I, I'm not mentally ready to accept a new relationship just yet." Mu Wan was really panicked, and she had the urge to run away.
"I understand, Wanwan, don't be burdened, okay? Even if you can't accept me, I still want to be friends with you, don't stay away from me because of this." This is what he fears most, so he has never dared to confess to her.
.
"I didn't." She just had never encountered such a situation. She really only regarded Zhu Yunxi as a friend, and a very good and respectful friend. It was strange that she would be mentally prepared when he suddenly said such things to her.
"It's very late, I'm going back to rest."
"I knew it would be like this." Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly, turned her back to him, and looked up at the stars.
Mu Wan stopped and couldn't help turning her head to look at him. The reason why Mu Wan had always had a very good impression of Zhu Yunxi was that Zhu Yunxi had a kind of fragile temperament, which could easily arouse people's protective desire.
Moreover, he always gave her the feeling of being harmless and safe, so she easily let him get close to her.
And at this moment, when she turned around and saw Zhu Yunxi standing behind her, he was already thin, but now his figure looked even thinner.
"Yunxi."
He thought she was gone, but when he heard her calling him, he hurriedly turned around.
"I'm really not ready to accept a new relationship now, and it wouldn't be fair to you if I really accepted it in my current state, so I..."
"I understand." Zhu Yunxi walked up to her, "As long as you are willing to let me be your friend, I will be very satisfied."
Mu Wan suddenly felt so guilty. Yunxi was so good, how could she be worthy of him?
"Go back to sleep. It's cold at night. We'll catch a cold if we stand here all the time." Zhu Yunxi gave her a gentle smile.
She could only smile back. She suddenly knew why Wen Jinyang was so hostile to Zhu Yunxi. Maybe he had noticed it already.
Early the next morning, they had to walk back to the village. It would take an hour and a half to walk back along the mountain road. Except for Brother Jiang, none of them were familiar with walking on mountain roads, so they walked slowly.
After walking for two hours, we returned to the village.
Upon returning, Mu Wan saw their car and was about to pass by when she saw a man striding over with an anxious look on his face.
She stopped immediately and her breathing became rapid.
"Mu Wan, can you save me some trouble?" Wen Jinyang roared angrily and hugged her in his arms.
Mu Wan stiffly asked him to hug her. Didn't he leave? She saw him leave with her own eyes yesterday. How could he appear here?
