Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Everything went smoothly when meeting the parents today. There was no awkwardness or silence as Yu Ru had imagined. Yun Jixing's parents were very kind to her and made her feel like they were the uncle and aunt who lived next door to her.

It was already night, and it was late, but she was lying in bed but she was not sleepy at all. She was still at Yunjixing's parents' house, and was arranged to live in Yunjixing's yard. She rested in Yunjixing's room, while Yunjixing went to sleep in a yard next door.

The two courtyards are not far apart and are connected by an aerial corridor on the second floor, making travel very convenient.

This place is too big. Yu Ru is afraid of such spaciousness, as it will make her feel like there is something hiding in the dark and spying on her. In addition, this place is too antique and will trigger some shadows in her heart.

So, she can live in the big Jianshan Yunting, but not here.

In her memory, she seemed to have lived in a very traditional classical house when she was very young. It was not as elegant as this one, and the style was different. This one was a Su-style building. She remembered that she lived in a Jin-style building when she was a child, which was relatively old and dilapidated. It was that old house that left a big shadow on her. She remembered that she seemed to be entangled by something bad at that time, and she was scared and always cried.

She remembered that she seemed to be haunted by something bad, and was frightened and cried all the time. She cried and felt confused during the day, and had nightmares and couldn't fall asleep at night. In short, it was very painful to live there.

The lights in the room were not turned off. Yu Ru tossed and turned on the bed, feeling uneasy and restless.

She opened her eyes and her gaze was fixed on the mobile phone beside her. After hesitating for a moment, she sat up, picked up the phone, and opened the chat interface with Yun Jixing.

She wanted Yunjixing to come over.

But it was getting late and everyone might have gone to sleep. It seemed unreasonable and irritating to call them over so late. It was also very frustrating to be suddenly woken up in one's sleep.

Little did she know that Yun Jixing, who usually went to bed early, had not yet gone to bed and was looking at his phone, wondering whether to send her a message. He was worried that Yu Ru would not be used to this place and would not be able to sleep well at night.

In his mind, Yu Ru is sometimes just a child who has not grown up yet and is extremely insecure. His house is big, and when he was young, he slept in a separate bed from his parents for the first time. Because the room and yard were too big, he was very scared and cried a lot. He is now worried that Yu Ru will also encounter this problem.

Just as he was thinking this, Yu Ru's message came.

"Are you asleep? Can you come over? There's nothing special. If you're tired, forget it. Go to bed early. Good night."

When he saw this message, he got up and walked towards Yu Ru's room without thinking.

Along the way, he almost jogged and soon arrived at the room where Yu Ru was.

Yu Ru was sitting on the bed, hugging her knees with her hands. When she heard the noise, she turned her head and saw it was him. Her eyes froze and fixed on him.

Yun Jixing came and sat down beside her, hugged her back, and asked softly, "Aru, what's wrong?"

Yu Ru stretched her limbs, picked up her phone and typed on it: Can you stay tonight and sleep with me?

When Yun Jixing saw this text, his heart shook violently and almost fell out of his body.

Yu Ru took the initiative to ask for her to sleep with him, and he wanted nothing more than to do so. He was so happy that he felt like going crazy. However, it was not the right time now. Moreover, Chi Qinghuai had warned him that since they were not married yet and it was the first time he brought her home, he should keep a proper distance and not be too intimate. That would be a respect for Yu Ru as well as for the education he had received.

"Aru, I...you..."

Seeing him hesitate, Yu Ru lowered her eyes and dared not look at him. She could probably guess the reason. Even though it was justified, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and ashamed of herself.

She picked up her phone and was about to type something when Yun Jixing suddenly hugged her and said, "Aru, I'd love to sleep with you, but Dad and Mom told me that I have to keep a certain distance from you for the time being and not break the etiquette and rules."

Yu Ru leaned on him and raised her hands to hug him.

……

The two ended up sleeping together.

He did nothing but sleep. Yun Jixing held Yu Ru in his arms and patted her shoulders and back to coax her to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, he thought Yu Ru should have fallen asleep, so he wanted to get up and turn off the light. However, when he looked down, he saw Yu Ru's eyes were wide open and she looked very awake.

He thought this look was so cute that he couldn't help laughing. He gently rubbed Yu Ru's head and asked, "Aru, why aren't you sleeping yet? What are you doing with your eyes wide open?"

Yu Ru raised her head and reached out to touch his face. Her fingertips tapped on his cheek like playing the piano, then moved upwards to the top of his head and touched his hair.

Yun Jixing looked at her with a smile, "Aru, can't you sleep?"

Yu Ru nodded.

"How about we chat?"

Yu Ru nodded.

"Then..." Yun Jixing thought for a moment and asked, "Why do I feel that the closer our marriage is to the schedule, the more confused you seem, right? Sometimes I see you staring in one direction in deep thought."

Yu Ru nodded.

"Why is this happening? What are you thinking?"

Yu Ru struggled to get out of his arms. She sat up, took the phone in her hand and typed on it: I never thought about falling in love and getting married before, but now suddenly I have both. It feels like a dream.

Yun Jixing also stood up, went around her back and hugged her, letting her sit on him, "I feel like I'm dreaming too, but I feel more hopeful about life and have more plans. Ah Ru, is there anything you're still worried about?"

[I don't really know. I may be worried, but I feel that the worry is unnecessary. I have decided to marry you. I felt that I was also capable of forming a family with someone else, but when this day really came, I was not so sure. I seem to be a little vague about some aspects of things. I am in an unknown and exploratory stage. I am afraid that I can't be a good wife, mother, or other roles. Even though I know that a complete person is complete because he is himself, I still can't help but worry about all this. I chose family, so I can't completely put family aside to talk about anything. I am a little afraid that I can't balance everything.]

In fact, Yun Jixing rarely saw confusion in Yu Ru. He saw that she always had clear goals and strong execution ability. Everything she did was for a better life and to get better things.

But during the days since he met her parents, he could see her confused expression at some point almost every day, and he also saw his former self in it.

He used to wonder if he had the ability to start a family, be a good husband, and be a good father, and this thought often brought him to the brink of collapse.

The reason for all these worries is "emotion". Yu Ru was too sentimental and wanted the people around her to live a good and happy life, which is why she died of depression in her previous life. If she had been a little more ruthless and had all her skills, she would definitely not have lived a bad life.

The Yun family was too sentimental and righteous, which is why a large family that had lasted for several generations was destroyed by Yun Liuyi and his son.

Yun Jixing sighed silently in his heart. He put his hand on Yu Ru's cheek and gently asked her to turn her head to look at him.

When Yu Ru turned around, he held her face with his other hand. He held her face, kissed her forehead, and said, "Aru, don't be too anxious. You have always done things beautifully, so even if you are facing the things you are going to experience next for the first time, I believe you can do everything well. In most cases, you just need to be yourself. Your personality is already perfect, so if you are yourself, you will naturally be able to do things in other identities. People often say that you should have long-term plans and goals for your life, but always thinking about the future will make you anxious and confused, and immersing yourself in the past will make you painful and regretful. I think everything should be relaxed and tense. If you are in pain, just let it go temporarily. It's not forgetting, but just letting it go temporarily. Think about the future. If you are confused and anxious, give yourself some buffer time. Focus on the present and enjoy the present."

A large part of these words were told to him by Yu Ru in the past. Now, he told these words to Yu Ru now. He hoped that Yu Ru could restore her original vitality and find the most comfortable state.

Yu Ru nodded and leaned her head lightly on Yun Jixing's chest.

Yun Jixing put his lips close to hers and kissed her head, "Aru, relax. Marriage and family may not be as difficult as you think. I think its essence and responsibility is to see how two people together can live a better and happier life. Everything depends on money. Now our family conditions are okay, so we can avoid a lot of trouble, so don't worry too much, okay? In the future, I will find someone to do a lot of things for you, and I will never let you get tired. I said I would love you, and I will definitely do it. Also, who you are is who my wife is, and who the mother of my children is. You don't have to change yourself too deliberately."

Yu Ru nodded again and smiled.

"How is it? Do you feel better? Are you happy?" Yun Jixing asked with a smile.

Yu Ru nodded and raised her hands to hug his waist.

Yun Jixing also hugged her tightly, "Kiss me when you are happy, just treat it as a reward, okay? A thousand words are not as good as a kiss from you, I like kissing you."
