Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 128 The aftermath
Ji Wanning regretted her impulsiveness, her face was pale and bloodless, and her voice was trembling, "No! I will never bother you again, and I will never appear in front of you again. Don't let it get to you!"

She didn't know things would turn out like this. She was too selfish and didn't consider Sang Yu's feelings.

Qiao Minghui stared at Sang Yu's feet, "Don't do anything stupid, we will stay away from you and not disturb your life, as long as you are safe."

No matter what they said, Sang Yu ignored them.

Xi Jinbai approached her calmly, diverted his attention and whispered: "Yu Yu, Auntie hopes you live a safe and happy life, have you forgotten?"

Only when Sang Fengping was mentioned, Sang Yu reacted. She turned sideways, her voice was calm, but tears could not be suppressed, and her eyes were blurry, "But I'm not happy, I'm not happy at all."

The sobs were choked in his throat, mixed with an indescribable sense of brokenness.

"Why is my life like this? I was abandoned at birth and grew up in an orphanage. When I was five years old, a family adopted me. I thought I finally had parents and a home of my own, but no. Half a year later, their lost child was found, and their daughter didn't like me, so they threw me back into the orphanage..."

"Other people say that I am redundant. Only my mother told me when she adopted me that Sang Yu's surplus means that I have surplus every year..."

"She gave me a home, and she was very kind to me, but now she has left me...I will always be the one left behind..."

"I miss my mother, I just want her."

Every sentence and every word turned into a sharp dagger, gouging out the heart with one knife, leaving it full of holes and bleeding.

She was covered in cracks, as if she was about to break at any moment.

Xi Jinbai's eyes were dark red, "I won't leave you! Just be obedient and come down."

Sang Yu's eyes were filled with tears and his voice was very soft, "You have already abandoned me once."

Xi Jinbai's expression froze and he clenched his palms, suddenly realizing why she had refused to start over.

When they first broke up, Sang Yu once asked - So, was it right for you to choose her?

He didn't understand the meaning of this sentence until today.

She was trying to stay, but he didn't understand at the time and defaulted to ending the relationship and giving up on her.

"I'm sorry." Xi Jinbai's voice was hoarse, and bitterness filled his mouth, "I won't do it again."

Sang Yu closed his eyes and let tears well up.

No one can guarantee what will happen in the future, and she can't believe it.

"My aunt told me before she died that I hope you live a happy life and fulfill your dreams. She loves you very much and will always love you no matter where she is. Don't do stupid things to make her sad, okay?"

Xi Jinbai mentioned Sang Fengping again, and Sang Yu's thoughts of committing suicide began to disintegrate.

For a moment, a voice in her head told her that as long as she jumped down, she could see her mother and she wouldn't have to be sad anymore.

After she calmed down, she realized that she could not live up to her mother's expectations.

She moved her steps and prepared to come down the steps, but her brain suddenly became dizzy and her body swayed.

Behind him is something tens of meters high in the air.

"careful!"

Xi Jinbai's heart stopped suddenly and he rushed over to grab her and hugged her down.

Ji Wanning's eyes were full of fright, her heart was beating wildly, and she was almost out of breath. Qiao Minghui held her up so that she wouldn't fall to the ground.

But her chest felt as painful as Ling Chi's. Her daughter had suffered too many grievances.

Sang Yu landed firmly on the ground, and Xi Jinbai took her into his arms, tightening his arms and wanting to rub her into his bones.

"Okay, it's okay."

I don't know whether he was comforting Sang Yu, himself, or both.

For the first time in his life, he deeply felt the meaning of the words "survival after a disaster".

If an accident really happened, he didn't dare to think about it and couldn't bear it.
-
Sang Yu had low blood sugar and fell into a coma. Xi Jinbai took her to the doctor for a check-up.

"Anemia causes physical weakness. She needs to rest and take more nutrition." The doctor also said: "Heart disease is difficult to treat. She must have suffered too much."

Sang Yu slept for four hours and was back in his room when he woke up.

I smell a touch of agarwood on my nose, which is soothing.

The palms of my hands felt hot, and they were wrapped in someone's hands.

Before he woke up, he heard Xi Jinbai's voice, "Wake up, get up and have something to eat."

There is a hint of unnoticeable tiredness in the low tone.

There is a sleep lamp on the bedside, the light is soft and the warm colors are blurred.

Sang Yu calmed down for a moment, sat up from the bed, and looked out the window. It was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Xi Jinbai turned off the sleeping light, turned on the ceiling lamp, and asked her, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Sang Yu shook his head, his thoughts gradually returned, his eyes clear, "...Did I cause you a lot of trouble?"

He didn't have to stay in Hong Kong Island, and he didn't have to juggle so many things that he couldn't sleep well.

Xi Jinbai rubbed her hair, "What nonsense are you talking about? As long as you're fine, everything will be fine."

Will everything be fine? It might take a long, long time, and she wasn't sure.

"Are you hungry? Go out to eat..."

"I want to leave here."

Two voices sounded almost at the same time, the latter overshadowing the former.

Xi Jinbai's words stopped abruptly, and he paused for a moment. He quickly asked, "Where do you want to go? I'll go out with you to relax."

Sang Yu looked at him and said frankly: "I haven't decided where to go, but I want to be alone."

She wanted to see the outside world, see a wider world, and find creative inspiration.

"Alone?" Xi Jinbai frowned, covering the back of her hand and holding it tightly, "I don't worry about you being alone."

In her current state, with no one around to take care of her, he couldn't afford to bet if anything happened.

Sang Yu took his hand out and said in a low but determined voice, "But I just want to be alone."

The air was silent, as if it had condensed into thin ice, blocking the space between them.

It's so close yet seems so far away.

After a long while, Xi Jinbai broke the silence and said, "Eat first, we will talk about this later."

Sang Yu didn't speak again.
-
Xi Jinbai hired a professional nutritionist to formulate a recipe based on Sang Yu's condition and match three meals a day.

She is not picky about food, she eats well and rests well, but she doesn't talk much and keeps herself closed so that no one can enter her world.

The topic that ended that day was not mentioned again, but an airtight high wall was built between them, which could not be shaken.

Xi Jinbai was also at a loss.

Things that Sang Yu and Meng Qing mentioned before were already being implemented, and they made an appointment to sign the contract.

This apartment is about 70 square meters. The location is not very good and it is an old community. The price is relatively affordable. There is no agency fee. The final transaction was 800,000 yuan.

Sang Yu paid in one lump sum.

She had saved a lot of money from working at Aurelia, and with the money she earned from opening the studio, it was enough to pay the full payment, and she still had hundreds of thousands left in savings.
