Yu Niao woke up from thirst. It was already half past seven.
There was a light on outside the crack of the door, but there was no movement.
She searched the kitchen and living room but couldn't find her adoptive parents. She picked up a glass of water and accidentally went to the backyard, where she found her adoptive father standing motionless in the darkness.
"Dad, where's mom?"
Yu Jianbin didn't know what to say and kept silent.
Yu Niao's heartbeat accelerated, and she always felt that something bad had happened.
Sure enough, according to what the adoptive father said, the adoptive mother suddenly felt unwell, and the hospital recommended hospitalization for raising the fetus.
The father and daughter immediately went to the hospital.
Yang Xiulan comforted Yu Niao and said that since she was pregnant at an advanced age, doctors would inevitably exaggerate, so don't worry.
How to not worry? Yu Niao smiled on the surface, but in his heart he had already lost his sense of direction.
What worries her is that her presence will bring disaster to the adoptive parents and the unborn child.
She felt a bit suffocated in the ward. While her adoptive father was taking her adoptive mother to the bathroom, she ran to the end of the corridor to call Shang Yu.
For some reason, the only person that comes to mind at this moment is him.
On the other end of the phone, Shang Yu remained silent.
Unpredictable unknown, no one knows whether the next second will be surprise or joy.
He didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say:
"I hope you're just overly worried."
Yu Niao also hoped that her worries were unfounded and that her life could be put on the line, but they were determined not to.
The hospital can leave one family member to stay with her in bed, but Yu Niao really hates that damn infinite reincarnation that delays her from taking care of her adoptive mother.
In desperation, she could only persuade her adoptive father not to worry about herself.
She can go home safely alone.
There was only one person left in the huge villa, and there was a huge sense of disparity.
Yu Niao almost did not hesitate, quickly started packing her luggage, and sent WeChat messages to her adoptive parents before leaving.
A lie that has been considered for a long time:
Dad/Mom, I'm sorry, I just found a job and I thought I could have more time to rest closer to the company. I have already started packing up my things and moving into a rental house.
I am an adult and can take care of myself. When I have time, I will go to the hospital to see you and the baby.
The adoptive parents called almost at the same time.
Thousands of words are all about love.
Yu Jianbin did his wife's ideological work and advised her to let go as soon as possible. Even if her daughter would be injured, it would be the only way for the child.
Yu Niao's cell phone finally stopped vibrating. She turned her head and stared out the car window at the camphor trees and street lamps that were thrown behind her. She smiled bitterly and stood downstairs of Shang Yu's house with her only suitcase.
The light in his room is still on.
After walking away and coming back, hesitating again and again, she finally dialed his number.
I'm inexplicably nervous. If I'm rejected, I'll have to find a hotel.
"Any thing else?"
The words stuck in my throat.
Shang Yu took off his headphones, touched the speakerphone, and said, "Speak."
"I, I, I will be downstairs at your house, please take me in for one night, okay?"
Yu Niao put away her phone and did not dare to listen to Shang Yu's words of abuse.
She didn't know that he didn't speak at all. He nodded as expected, hung up the phone and went downstairs, striding towards her.
"I know I'm outrageous, and I also know that we are familiar with each other, and you have no obligation to help me, but -"
Yu Niao opened one eye and looked at his expression. She was as cold as ever, but at least she didn't get furious.
"You are a good person. A good person does good things and has a safe life. Please, please."
Shang Yu grabbed the suitcase lever and said, "I've never been a good person, just for one night."
Yu Niao's eyebrows rose with joy, and Pi Dian Dian followed her, "I'll look for a house tomorrow. Brother Shang, you're so kind."
With a bang, Shang Yu lifted the suitcase and put it down hard.
"I'm giving you one final warning: you are not allowed to call yourself sister, and you are not allowed to call me brother!"
Yu Niao nodded obediently, made a small gesture to seal her mouth, and entered the elevator with a smile.
There was only one room, and Yu Niao consciously made a floor in the living room. Through the glass door, she could see two little ones scratching at the door.
She was used to the radiator, but the cold air in the living room made her sneeze constantly. Especially after taking a shower, her body became colder and colder.
The quilt wasn't thick enough to keep out all the chill.
But she didn't say anything, she curled up and hid under the quilt, shivering.
At the same time, I wish to inform my adoptive parents that I am safe.
Tick tick tick.
The faucet in the bathroom is leaking and the water keeps making noise.
She tossed and turned, getting colder and colder.
The bedroom door gradually opened, and Shang Yu carefully stuck out half of his head, squinting at the bulging thing, and cleared his throat:
"What are you doing?"
Yu Niao stuck out her head and said, "What are you doing? Shang Yu, how many quilts do you have?"
Shang Yu shook his head decisively, "No."
When Yu Niao wanted to talk again, the other person had already turned away, so she had to hide under the quilt again and rub her hands to keep warm.
After a while, she felt the quilt became heavy. She stretched out her hand and touched it. It was a rechargeable hand warmer. When she looked at the bedroom, the door had just been closed.
Boom, boom, boom.
She knocked on his door and asked him if he was cold.
He sat at his desk and didn't answer.
She stood on tiptoe at the door.
"Thanks."
He tilted his head slightly to look out of the corner of his eye and nodded slightly.
She laughed and told him not to study too late and to go to bed early.
It's still half an hour until ten o'clock.
He closed the book in advance, turned off the computer, leaned back on the rickety old chair and raised his head to stare at the mottled ceiling.
There were calls for help outside the door. He stood up immediately, opened the door and turned on the light, and met Yu's frightened eyes.
"Sorry, I had a nightmare and disturbed you from studying. I'm really sorry."
Yu's pajamas were soaked with sweat, and his face turned pale. It was as if his soul had left his body, as if he was still wandering.
Seeing this, Shang Yu felt incredible that the nightmare in a short period of time had made her look like this.
"Drink some hot water."
Yu Niao was stunned before taking the disposable water cup, "Thank you."
She stopped him, "Can you sit with me for a while?"
She felt embarrassed as soon as the words came out of her mouth. She smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing. You can go and rest. I'll just calm down and be fine."
Shang Yu got her another cup of hot water, turned around and went into the bedroom and closed the door.
Ever since I entered another strange and ever-changing world, my nightmares about Tianqing have stopped.
It wasn't until just now that Yu Niao dreamed that her sister, whose eyes were bleeding, came to see her.
She even said to herself for the first time: "Sister, I am so lonely. When will you come to stay with me?"
Her hand was suddenly torn off, and she woke up like this.
The touch was so real that she had to stare at her left arm to make sure it was really still on her body before she felt at ease.
The phone showed two missed calls and several messages, all from Lu Zihu.
Yu Niao really wants to know whether the accident between Lu Zihu and his adoptive mother was a pure accident or an inevitable experience?
"Are you still in a daze? The time is coming soon, cheer up!"
For the first time, Shang Yu encouraged others with his true self. He always felt that Yu Niao cared too much about unnecessary things and warned her:
"No one will bring disaster to anyone. You think too highly of yourself.
Instead of having time to think about those things, it’s better to be prepared to face the next challenge!”
