Chapter 72: I may be dying.

“I miss you.” The words reached Fu Chuan’s ear on the other side through the phone, and there was a hint of sweetness in his heart.

When what could be called love words came out of Yao Yi’s mouth, it couldn’t be taken seriously. Fu Chuan even guessed that she didn’t fully understand the meaning of those words.

“Rest early.” Fu Chuan said briefly and hung up the phone.

“Oh.” Yao Yi was sensitive and noticed Fu Chuan’s indifference. She immediately hung up the phone obediently and lay down under the quilt. Although there were still a few days before the cast could be removed, Yao Yi always felt that her right hand was about to burst out of the cast.

Tomorrow they were not going to be on the same flight, and Yao Yi was unwilling to ask her parents to go early. It was troublesome to explain. She couldn’t say ‘you guys’ daughter wants to date with the current first place so she can become first place.’

Yao Yi closed her eyes and thought nonsense. She was completely unaware that Fu Chuan was the only thing in her mind now, and that ninety percent of her studies had been squeezed into a corner.

…

The next day right before Fu Chuan got on the plane and turned off his phone, he received a text message from Yao Yi: [Wear more clothes and drink more hot water.]

Holding the hem of her long skirt, Yao Yi circled around the pillar in boredom.

Formal attire was unavoidable for such a large party. Most businessmen wore suits and leather shoes, while more of the sophisticated cultural people wore Tang suits (TLN: traditional Chinese men’s suits). The women either wore dresses or cheongsams.

Before coming today, all the people were dressed neatly, but Yao Yi was sitting in the lobby still thinking about how to send messages to Fu Chuan.

Lin Xiuyu knew that Yao Yi couldn’t wear a dress, as sometimes she wished she could walk with the wind. As for the cheongsam, it was not suitable for her age, it was too prominent. Yao Yi was still a child in Mother Yao’s heart.

In the end, Mother Yao picked out a floor-length purple skirt for her. Yao Yi’s skin was fair, and she didn’t look old-fashioned in it.

Before getting out of the car, Yao Yi’s phone was confiscated by her father, and she was sure that her grandfather and her mother didn’t have their cell phones either.

With a long sigh, Yao Yi closed her eyes immediately, and put her head against the pillar. There were many people here and no one noticed her strange movements.

“What’s so good about that small place in Yan City? You belong to the capital.” A sweet and clear female voice suddenly entered Yao Yi’s ears.

Speaking ill of Yan City? Yao Yi opened her eyes and wanted to poke her head out to see the girl.

The girl was talking to a person in a blue and black suit. Yao Yi couldn’t see her face clearly. However, from her skills developed over the years, judging from the girl’s body movements and language, she was probably a beauty.

But… the back of the person opposite the girl seemed familiar.

Yao Yi slowly moved over and poked the man in the suit on the back.

When the girl saw Yao Yi appearing out of nowhere, and even touching people, she froze.

Fu Chuan frowned slightly, and it was hard to imagine who would do such a disrespectful thing, especially in this kind of environment.

The girl probably also saw Fu Chuan’s displeasure, and before he could look back, she spoke in a gentle but aggressive tone: “Miss, please don’t touch my male partner, everyone is watching.”

Yao Yi ignored the girl, she just wanted Fu Chuan to take her to find her grandfather and the others.

“Yao Yao?” Fu Chuan stared at Yao Yi in a daze, not understanding why she appeared here when she was supposed to still be in Yan City.

However, this did not prevent him from taking the hem of the skirt in Yao Yi’s hand very naturally.

“I’m lost.” Yao Yi looked up at Fu Chuan.

She was very well-dressed by Mother Yao today, and the long skirt cinched her waist, making her waist look more and more slender. The original fluffy hair was submissive, and Lin Xiuyu even put on light makeup on Yao Yi, making her lips look pink.

“Your hand healed?” Fu Chuan was very close to Yao Yi. He turned sideways, holding Yao Yi’s skirt with one hand, and pinning the loose hair behind her earlobe with the other.

From a girl’s point of view, Fu Chuan only needed to bow his head slightly to kiss Yao Yi.

The girl’s pretty face turned pale. She always knew that Fu Chuan would not get close to anyone, and thought that she would be the only special one. Now…

“It’s healed, the doctor said it’s okay.” Yao Yi shook her right hand up and down, trying to show how flexible her hand was.

Fu Chuan had no choice but to grab her hand. He held it in his hand and gently rubbed it: “Don’t make trouble, it’s only been a few days since you took it off.”

Yao Yi let him hold her hand, turned her head and looked around: “I can’t find my grandfather and parents, I’ve been going in circles around here the entire time.”

“I’ll take you to find them.” On Fu Chuan’s face, was a doting expression that most girls have never seen before, only in their dreams, “Small road dummy.”

“I’m not younger than you.” Yao Yi retorted seriously, “You’re a month younger than me.”

“Mhm.” Fu Chuan didn’t walk to argue with someone who didn’t understand amorous feelings. But he was in a happy mood and was about to lead Yao Yi to leave.

“Brother Fu Chuan, this is… don’t you want to introduce her.” The girl was Fu Chuan’s childhood friend in the capital, and she thought that she was someone special.

“Hi, my name is Yao Yi.” Yao Yi took the lead in reaching out to shake hands with the girl.

A disgusted expression flashed across the girl’s face. She didn’t understand how this country bumpkin got in, but she smiled reluctantly: “Bai Linlang.”

“Let’s go first.” Fu Chuan glanced at Bai Linlang coldly and said.

Yao Yi followed Fu Chuan with a cheerful pace. She didn’t expect to see Fu Chuan so soon, so they technically wouldn’t be considered a long-distance relationship.

“Walk slowly.” Seeing that Yao Yi was about to walk in front of him, Fu Chuan held her back and said, “Be careful not to twist your foot.”

Although Yao Yi didn’t wear high heels, the soles of her shoes were not low.

“Oh.” Yao Yi slowed down, turned her head and started the love chat mode as if they haven’t seen each other for a long time, “Don’t you miss me? Anyways, I miss you a lot.”

At the end was Yao Yi’s typical tone, Fu Chuan didn’t even bother to distinguish the truth from the fake.

There were two floors here. However, you don’t usually notice it when you walk around, because there were no stairs in the whole building. The reason why Yao Yi went back and forth here was because she was on the wrong floor.

They were now on the first floor. They were approaching the corner of the second floor, and there were fewer people.

Fu Chuan directly led her into a corner, put his arms around Yao Yi’s waist, and looked downcast.

The slender waist under his hand was too thin to be grasped, as if it could be broken easily. Fu Chuan didn’t even dare to use too much force.

Yao Yi finally realized something was wrong after a while, and her expression seemed uncomfortable. Her eyes wandered around: “I… I’m just asking.”

Fu Chuan quietly lowered his eyes, but leaned towards Yao Yi who was facing him.

‘Thump thump thump’ Yao Yi opened her eyes wide, feeling like her heart was about to jump out. Was she suffering from an acute heart attack?

Their faces were about to approach, and when Yao Yi could clearly feel Fu Chuan’s clear and shallow breathing, Fu Chuan tilted his head and kissed her ear. His voice sounded hoarse: “I miss you.”

Yao Yi didn’t recover for a long time, leaning against the wall foolishly.

But Fu Chuan had already backed away. At this kind of party, whatever you do, anyone with a discerning eye could tell. He didn’t want Yao Yao to be pointed out.

“…Yao Yao…” When Fu Chuan spoke again, his voice was mostly clean and clear, but his breath was still a little unsteady, “I’ll take you to find grandpa.”

He didn’t specify whose grandfather he was referring to, and the slight exchange of words could be understood in a completely different meaning.

It was a pity that Yao Yi didn’t notice it at all. Her eyes were slack, as if she had been hit by a big blow.

Soon Fu Chuan found out that her facial expression was not very pleasant, and he thought Yao Yi hated him.

“Yao Yao…” Fu Chuan said with difficulty, “I’m sorry.”

Knowing that she didn’t still know anything, Fu Chuan felt a twinge of pain in his heart when he still did such an outrageous move.

Yao Yi didn’t know what Fu Chuan was thinking about. She was immersed in her own world, and said pitifully, “Fu Chuan, I may be dying soon.”

Fu Chuan’s heart thumped, and his voice raised a little: “What nonsense?”

“Really.” Yao Yi looked extremely aggrieved, “I just occasionally stay up late to do my homework, sometimes I get up too early.”

Yao Yi was really panicked, her eyes were red, and she was wiping tears while talking. She still had a lot of mathematical theories that she hadn’t studied yet. She hadn’t even found her grandfather and parents yet, and she was going to die here?

“What’s wrong? Don’t cry.” Fu Chuan hugged her again.

The more Yao Yi thought about it, the sadder she became. It seemed that she was going to die young. However, she had no achievements, not even first place in her grade!

Yao Yi didn’t make a lot of noise when she cried. She just shed tears, and occasionally choked. Her eyes were rimmed with red, looking terribly pitiful.

“Yao Yao, good girl…” Fu Chuan didn’t care about any other images. He hugged her into his arms, and coaxed her softly, kissing Yao Yi’s forehead and hair from time to time.

“I’m going to die, I’m going to die.” Yao Yi repeated only this sentence.

“Yao Yao is fine, and won’t…” Fu Chuan was reluctant to say that word to Yao Yi.

Yao Yi cried for a long time before gradually calming down, but suddenly found that her heart was calm again. There was no sign of it jumping out.

“…It seems to have healed?” Yao Yi raised her face which was flushed from crying and asked doubtfully.

“What’s healed?” Fu Chuan still didn’t know what was going on, and asked softly. He wiped away the tears that slid down Yao Yi’s cheeks with his fingertips.

“Here.” Yao Yi pointed to her heart, another tear drop appeared from the corner of her eye, looking miserable.

Fu Chuan felt distressed when he saw it, and lowered his head to kiss the corner of her eyes, tasting a bit of astringency.

“What’s wrong here?” Fu Chuan asked Yao Yi, who was unsteady, and let her lean in his arms.

“It’s quiet now.” Yao Yi said in a gruff voice, “It jumped so fast before, I think I might be sick.”

“It’s normal for the heart to beat fast sometimes.” Fu Chuan tried to explain to Yao Yi.

“Not excited.” Yao Yi frowned, “I didn’t do anything.”

“I’ll take you to check. I’ll call my uncles and aunts later.” Fu Chuan was also taken aback, and led Yao Yi out.
