C121 Why Aren't You Going up to the Sun and Standing Side by Side
It took Yu Qi an hour to arrive at the town by bus, and another hour for the bus to finally arrive at its destination: Hong Kong Village.
Hong Kong Village was a village that was more than two hours away from the capital. It was also the hometown of her biological mother.
Before her birth mother was sent to prison, she asked someone to give her the key to her hometown.
Yu Qi did not want it, so he planned to return it to her when she came out. But this time, she really had nowhere to go, so he thought of this.
She didn't have that much money to go on a trip to a hotel or eat, and she couldn't go back to Yu Family either. Although this place was a bit remote, at least she didn't have to spend a lot of money and didn't have to stay on the street. She was already very satisfied.
After asking the villager where her biological mother's house was, a kind villager took her there. After going around the villager, they finally stopped in front of a cement house and said, "This is Lin Lan's house."
"Thank you." Yu Qi thanked the villager with a smile. He took out the key and opened the door. When he pushed the door open, he saw that there was a lacquered table in the middle of the room, a shabby bench, a kitchen on the right, a pan that needed firewood, and a room on the left.
There was a bed, a red cabinet, and a small television.
Yu Qi opened the door to the living room. There was a large courtyard with three holly trees. There was also a vine tree in front of the east room window. At this moment, the vine was wrapped around the vine rack, making it look shady.
She pushed open the red door, and what she saw was the main hall. There was a large round table, and a few sacks of food in the corner.
The rooms in the west were very clean. There was just a bed and no furniture, and there was a bed and a cabinet in the east. Yu Qi looked at the clothes in the cabinet and saw that they were all worn by a teenage girl. They must have been worn by Yu Ming Zhu before.
This... was the place where her biological mother used to live before, which was also her original... home?
Yu Qi put his suitcase in the west room. She did not want to live in the room where Yu Mingzhu had lived before.
He went to Lin Lan's room in the front and found a clean bedsheet in the cabinet. He took it out to the clothesline in the yard to bask in the sun.
When he turned around, he suddenly saw an unfamiliar woman standing behind him. Yu Qi screamed in fear and took a step back.
He patted his heart in shock, "You... Who are you?!"
"Are you Lin Lan's biological daughter?" The middle-aged woman asked with a smile.
Probably because she worked in the fields all year round, her skin was very tanned and had many yellow spots, but when she smiled, she looked innocent. Her eyes were gentle and did not have any killing intent.
Yu Qi nodded hesitantly, "Who are you?"
"I am Lin Lan's neighbor and also a friend. She told me about you and even specifically told me to take good care of you if you come back." After she finished speaking, she continued, "You can call me Aunt Zhang."
"Hello, Aunt Zhang." Yu Qi politely greeted her, still not used to it.
She had never met such a person before, nor had she experienced such a living environment. Everything was so unfamiliar.
"You just came back, haven't you eaten yet?" Aunt Zhang asked.
Yu Qi nodded, "I just dried the bed sheets and slept well."
"I'm just about to cook. Come to my house for lunch at noon." She invited him warmly.
"No need..." Yu Qi waved his hand to indicate that there was no need.
"You're welcome. Lin Lan isn't home and doesn't have anything to eat. If you don't come to my house to eat, are you going to starve?" Aunt Zhang pulled her to her house next door.
Because they lived close to each other, they only needed to walk a few steps to arrive, so the door did not even need to be locked.
Aunt Zhang's house was similar to Lin Lan's house, both of them using firewood to cook a pot of grass.
Aunt Zhang asked her to sit down first, while she went to stir-fry the dishes. Yu Qi wanted to help but was rejected.
Her movements were very fast. In less than half an hour, she had finished preparing three dishes.
"The food in the village is simple and crude. You can eat as much as you want. Tomorrow, I will go to the street and buy some bones for you to stew."
"No need. I'm not a picky eater. Thank you." Yu Qi looked at the dishes in front of him. Although they were all vegetables, they were much better than starving.
"You're welcome. Auntie likes you. You are a handsome child, and you also deserve to be called handsome. Unlike that Lin Jia..." Aunt Zhang noticed that Yu Qi's expression was not quite right. She realized that she had said the wrong thing and immediately booed him. She changed the topic, "Let's eat more. Eat more. Look at how thin you are."
Yu Qi said and lowered his head to touch the rice.
When Yu Mingzhu returned to the Yu Family, her name was Lin Jia. The name pearl was given to her by Yu Zhong. It meant that she was the beloved daughter of the Yu Family!
After the meal, Yu Qi helped Aunt Zhang clean up the dishes and returned to Lin Lan's house.
After sitting in the car for an entire day, she was very tired.
She immediately laid down on the wooden bed and closed her eyes, but she could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.
She got up and turned on her phone to switch on the phone card that she had turned off. A few seconds later, there were countless missed calls.
Some of them were from Lu Bei Chen, some were from Su Qi, and some were from Jin Feng.
Yu Qi's eyes were fixed on the three words "Lu Bei Chen." After looking at it for a while, he finally turned off the SIM.
Right now, she did not want to contact anyone. She just wanted to hide and calm down.
Perhaps when she returned, Lu Bei Chen and Yu Mingzhu would already be engaged.
Everything would come to an end.
Although it was in the countryside, the hot water used for bathing was solar-powered. He could take a hot bath and use the toilet. Yu Qi had already gotten used to it after staying there for two days.
Apart from eating at Aunt Zhang's place on the first day and at night, she cooked by herself after that. The vegetables were picked by Aunt Zhang's vegetable garden.
The only bad thing was that there was no internet here. Yu Qi finished writing for two days a day, then walked to a small internet cafe an hour away to save his script backstage. The timer system automatically released it.
The air in Hong Kong village was very good and there were not many people. It was very quiet every day, like a paradise.
Yu Qi stayed there for half a month. He did not turn on his phone, nor did he go on the chat software. He did not contact anyone. It was as if he had suddenly disappeared.
Gradually, her restless heart seemed to calm down along with the calm days.
Her heart was as calm as still water. There were no more waves.
Yu Qi went to the internet cafe to upload his script. Backstage, he received a message from the editor, asking her to upload it to the chatting app.
Yu Qi hesitated and logged into the chat app. He subconsciously looked at Lu Bei Chen's profile picture and saw that it was gray. He was not online.
She sent an emoji to the editor.
Editor Beans Baby: You damn brat, you're going to die soon! I haven't seen you for a month. If it wasn't for the constant updating, I would have thought that you had vanished from the world! Why don't you go up to the sky and stand side by side with the sun?!
When Yu Qi saw that the Editor Bean Baby was still so energetic, he immediately replied to her.
If you are ugly, you should read more: In order to write greater works, I will naturally go into seclusion to cultivate. I can't be disturbed by any secular matters!
Editor Bean's Baby: Then I have a very vulgar thing to say. Do you want to listen to it?
If you are ugly, you should read more: I want to!
