Chapter 651: Chapter 651: Days Ahead, Peace and Joy

Growing up in your twenties, I’m not sure if it’s a blessing or a misfortune, but there’s always a price to pay for growing up. Su Shiyue has also paid her price. She thinks it’s nothing. People always encounter various hardships, and compared to what Su Mu has endured, what she went through is almost negligible. Still, she can’t remain indifferent.

Su Mu looked at her and sighed slightly before speaking:

"I know you probably want to know news about him, but I don’t know where he is now. I haven’t seen him. When we got there, he had already left. Wei Shaoqin said he went to the hospital because of a twisted ankle. The reason he left so quickly, I think, may be because he thought you would go to see Fu Shinian. You said you didn’t want to see him again, so he deliberately avoided you."

Hearing this, Su Shiyue was silent for a long time, and Su Mu said nothing more. She trusted that Su Shiyue could manage the subtleties, but as for what choice she would make, it was her own matter.

When Su Mu was about to finish eating, Su Shiyue finally spoke:

"Sister-in-law, I want to bring him back."

Su Mu looked at her and said nothing.

"He’s my only family."

"Shiyue," Su Mu said, "He is your brother. I won’t stop you from finding him and living with him, but before that, please make sure you have no other feelings left. If you hold on to other thoughts, it’s not good for either of you. You won’t escape societal constraints or moral unease."

"I know," Su Shiyue murmured. "From the moment I knew he was my brother, I stopped having any thoughts about him."

Su Mu looked at her for a few seconds and nodded:

"You are his sister, so you can certainly bring him back, but I think this matter can wait. Once Shinian wakes up, and when Grandma’s health improves, you can take action then. It might give you more time to seriously consider it and prepare."

"Okay, I know."

After eating, Su Mu left. Su Shiyue originally wanted to drive her personally, but Su Mu refused. Su Shiyue was not in a bad state, but it wasn’t great either. There was no need for her to drive such a long way and then return alone.

Their family couldn’t withstand any more changes.

When she returned to the hospital, Wen Han was not in the ward but sitting on a bench in the hallway. He looked like he wasn’t thinking about anything, in a daze, and didn’t notice the elevator opening and closing. It was only when Su Mu walked up to him that he reacted as if waking from a dream, almost instantly standing up:

"You’re back?"

Su Mu smiled:

"What were you thinking about, so attentively?"

Wen Han paused for a few seconds, then slowly smiled:

"I’m getting married."

Su Mu was stunned and didn’t say anything for a few seconds, but then she reacted and smiled lightly, "Is it with Ji Qingluan?"

"Yes."

Su Mu walked to the door of the ward and carefully pushed it open to take a look inside. Qiqi was already awake, and Wen Shaoyuan was sitting by the bed reading a storybook to her. Qiqi still didn’t speak. Her attitude towards Wen Shaoyuan was the same as it was towards everyone else, with no difference. Su Mu didn’t know when Qiqi would speak again, or if she would ever speak in this lifetime, but just the fact that she was alive was already good.

Su Mu would ask for nothing more, as she has learned to be content.

After closing the door, Su Mu returned to the bench and sat down. Wen Han looked at her and smiled slightly, also sitting down next to Su Mu: "Do you have something to say to me?"

"You don’t like Ji Qingluan," Su Mu said bluntly. "I can probably guess the reason and rationale behind your marriage to Ji Qingluan. To be honest, I also think Ji Qingluan is very suitable for you. From the moment I met you two, I felt this way. I even hoped you two could be together, but at this moment..."

"Do you think I’m marrying out of gratitude?"

"Isn’t that the case?" Su Mu looked at Wen Han. "Even if you say no, I won’t believe you. The timing is too sensitive right now."

Wen Han did not speak immediately. After Su Mu’s words, he smiled lightly:

"You’re not wrong. There’s allegedly no so-called love between Ji Qingluan and me. We grew up together, true childhood sweethearts. If we were meant to like each other, it would have happened long ago, no need to wait until now. But Su Mu, I’m already 37 years old, long past the age of having romantic affairs. Qingluan has delayed her own chances because of me, now coming to this age. I originally thought she could meet someone who treats her well, who loves her, cherishes her, and she might take that step. But after everything that happened, I knew she wouldn’t, and I can’t just watch her grow old alone."

"I have no energy to start a new relationship, it’s too tiring. So, instead of both of us growing old alone, why not join hands to live together? We’ve been very open about it, so there won’t be any troubles or vexations. As for how it might be after marriage, who knows? I will not let her down or hurt her."

After Wen Han finished speaking, Su Mu frowned slightly, not relaxing for a long time. From one perspective, she thought it was okay, but from Ji Qingluan’s perspective, it was unfair. After all, Ji Qingluan has liked Wen Han from the start, and the recent events that happened were also because of Wen Han.

Now Ji Qingluan finally gets to marry Wen Han, but it’s for these reasons. It feels like a transaction or a play, making Su Mu uncomfortable. If as an observer Su Mu feels this way, how could Ji Qingluan, the party involved, not feel anything?

Su Mu didn’t speak, and Wen Han looked at her:

"What’s wrong?"

"Don’t you think this decision is unfair to Ji Qingluan? She’s a strong person, yet she’s marrying for this reason, and with everything laid out clearly, isn’t it like wiping out all her feelings?"

Wen Han looked at Su Mu and didn’t speak.

"You’ve both discussed this, so I shouldn’t say anything since Ji Qingluan has already agreed. But I think Ji Qingluan isn’t in a good state now, given what’s happened, and how I know her, she wouldn’t agree to something that looks like a transaction or pity and sympathy marriage. It’s all just very odd..."

"Do you mean..."

Su Mu shook her head:

"I’m not sure either, just not comfortable. But since we’re friends, I’ll speak straightforwardly. I don’t care why you’re marrying Ji Qingluan, but since you’ve made this decision, she will be your wife. Treat her well."

"Of course."

Su Mu smiled slightly:

"That’s good. Ji Qingluan is a wonderful person; she deserves the best."

Wen Han smiled lightly and didn’t say anything.

After a few seconds of silence, Su Mu got up and went to the adjacent ward. She had come back but hadn’t seen Fu Shinian yet. Although she knew Fu Shinian couldn’t wake up, she still wanted to see him, as if only by seeing him could she truly rest assured and confirm that he hadn’t left, that he was still by her side.

Wen Han and Wen Shaoyuan left half an hour later. Originally, Wen Shaoyuan wanted to stay, but it wasn’t the weekend, and he had classes the next day, so Su Mu didn’t approve. Su Mu would not allow it, and Wen Shaoyuan didn’t insist. He quietly said goodbye to Qiqi and left, while Qiqi’s eyes remained on Wen Shaoyuan until he left the ward.

Su Mu saw all this, then sat beside her, gently holding her hand in hers and smiling slightly:

"Does Qiqi miss Brother Yuan?"

Qiqi looked at Su Mu and said nothing.

"Brother Yuan has to go to school tomorrow, so he needs to go home and rest well. He will come to spend all day with you on Saturday, okay?"

Qiqi still looked at Su Mu, not speaking.

Su Mu reached out and stroked Qiqi’s hair, feeling deep love:

"Is Qiqi blaming mommy? Blaming me for not taking good care of you, for taking so long to find you, so now even though you’re back, you won’t speak a word to me, is that it?"

Qiqi on the bed seemed to hear something beyond her comprehension; her eyes were filled with confusion, and Su Mu smiled faintly:

"It’s okay, mommy will wait, wait until the day you’re willing to talk to mommy."

Qiqi’s physical wounds were almost healed, and she could get out of bed and walk, but she didn’t seem to want to move. Most of the time, she curled up in a ball on the bed, not saying a word. After examining her that day, Qiao Yu told Su Mu:

"I think her body is fine and she could be discharged, but the psychological scars can’t be healed instantly. So, I suggest finding a good psychologist."

Su Mu nodded:

"You arrange it."

Qiao Yu looked at Su Mu: "Don’t worry too much. Qiqi will be okay, and Shinian will be okay too. Today, the examination results for Shinian came out, and the blood clot is smaller than before. That’s a good sign. If things continue like this, he’ll wake up soon."

"I got it. Thank you."

"What relationship do we have to be saying such things?" Qiao Yu glanced back at Qiqi, "Shinian would be very upset to see Qiqi like this when he wakes up. He risked his life to save her, wishing for her to live healthily and untroubled."

Standing by the door, they discussed these matters in not too loud voices. Qiqi continued to sit on the bed looking out the window. Neither of them noticed the flash of surprise on her face when they mentioned Fu Shinian.

Originally, it was thought that the person to recover first between Qiqi and Fu Shinian would be Fu Shinian. After all, his brain blood clot was visibly improving, but Qiqi remained unchanged. It’s as if she’d completely shut herself off from the world.

But no one expected the one to change first to be Qiqi.

That evening, Su Mu stayed with Qiqi in her room until she fell asleep and then carefully left. After giving instructions to the nurse, she went to Fu Shinian’s room. She didn’t notice that after she left, Qiqi opened her eyes and quietly stared at the ceiling for a long time.

Fu Shinian’s room was quiet. Because Fu Shinian didn’t wake up, even though Su Mu spoke to him every day, it wasn’t all the time. On nights like this, Su Mu preferred just to be quietly with Fu Shinian, even without speaking a single word.

In the bathroom, she washed a towel to wipe Fu Shinian’s body. Although Qiao Yu had hired the best caregiver, she never delegated this task to anyone else. She wanted to do something for Fu Shinian, even if it was just a small thing. After wiping his body, she would massage him for a while. After lying there for such a long time, if he woke up, he would have a period of adjustment, but daily massages would make waking up much more comfortable for patients.

Su Mu did this every day, without exception.

She had returned to Gui Ning Residence over the past couple of days as well. The old lady’s health remained unchanged, not worsening but unlikely to improve. They were doing their utmost now to ensure she would pass only after Fu Shinian and Qiqi had recovered, so that no one would have regrets.

The old lady had said goodbye to Fu Shinian even before he went to save Qiqi, but if she passed during Fu Shinian’s coma, he might not be able to accept it upon waking up. Su Mu couldn’t bear to see such a cruel situation.

After wiping and massaging, Su Mu was a bit tired. She sat on a chair by the bed, holding Fu Shinian’s hand, resting her head on the bed, and talked to him:

"You’ve been sleeping for a long time. Don’t you want to open your eyes and take a look? I’m taking care of Qiqi while accompanying you, it’s really tiring..."

"Shiyue suggested that I tell you, if you don’t wake up soon, I’ll go marry someone else. I think it’s unreliable, but maybe it’s worth a try, maybe you’d actually wake up?"

"Shinian, please wake up soon, okay? Qiqi still doesn’t speak. I think she might be blaming me. She really, really likes you. I think she would listen to you. Stay with her, comfort her, and make her feel better, could you?"

"She has suffered so much. I hope her days ahead are filled with peace and happiness. Together, we’ll erase those scars from her memory, okay?"

"Honestly, your sleeping like this might be good too. I know you haven’t rested well for a long time, always taking care of me and searching for Qiqi. Is it that you don’t want to wake up because you’re too tired? It’s okay, you can sleep, but promise me, not for too long. Without you by my side, I’d feel really lonely."
