Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

"Aru." Yun Jixing called Yu Ru softly, and at the same time picked up the lid of another dish and put it on the plate of tiger skin chicken feet.

The chicken claws were blocked, and Yu Ru came back to her senses. She squeezed her hands hard, clenched them into fists, and forced herself to look up at everyone.

Everyone was looking at her, no one was mocking her, no one was surprised by her abnormality, just worried.

Yu Ru's lips trembled slightly, and her body trembled uncontrollably, especially her hands. She lowered her head, and huddled up slightly. At first glance, she looked smaller, like a helpless old man, too old to be old, too weak to be weak, with half of her body already buried in the soil, ready to return to the dust.

Yun Jixing put his arm around her shoulders, held her hand tightly, and helped her stand up, "Aru, I'll take you for a walk and breathe some fresh air."

Yu Ru turned her head to look at him, and pointed with a trembling hand at the covered tiger-skin chicken feet.

"It's okay, Aru, it's okay, don't look at it, I'll take you somewhere else to have a look." Yun Jixing reached out to hold her raised hand again.

Jun Wuxia also stood up. She walked around the table and came in front of Yu Ru. She took a quick look at her expression and immediately said to Yun Jixing, "Xingdi, Xiaoru seems to be feeling a little uncomfortable. You can take her to the room to rest. Come with me."

"Okay." Yun Jixing nodded, his arm still around Yu Ru. He bent down and asked Yu Ru, "Aru, can you still walk?"

Yu Ru nodded and tried to take a step forward, but the opposite happened. Her body went limp and she couldn't help falling forward. Yun Jixing hurriedly supported her, and Jun Wuxia also subconsciously reached out to help her.

"Aru, let me carry you over. Come, be careful and hold on to me."

After the three of them left, Jiang Zaizhou carefully asked Xi Yizai: "Little Ant, did I do something bad? Did you see what happened just now? Xiaoru... is she afraid of chicken claws? Was she pointing at that chicken claw just now?"

Xi Yizai shook his head. "I didn't see it, but the thing she pointed at just now should be chicken feet. She might have a psychological trauma about chicken feet. It seems that she became like this after Xiao Xingxing opened the lid of the chicken feet."

"It's over, it's over." Jiang Zaizhou looked like he was about to face a disaster, holding his head with both hands, "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have eaten chicken feet if I had known."

Xi Yizai reached out and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "You can't be blamed for this. It's also because I didn't make careful arrangements, which caused Xiaoru to have a psychological trauma when she came here for the first time. I am guilty."

As Yu as this,

Yun Jixing carried her to a guest room in the Rose Manor to rest. She sat on the bed in a daze, Yun Jixing sat beside her, and Jun Wuxia walked around the room, checking if there was anything unusual inside.

After the inspection, she walked up to Yu Ru and said, "Xiao Ru, is there anything in this room that you don't like to see or smell? I'll take it out."

Yu Ru raised her head stiffly like a doll with rough joints. She slowly turned her head and looked around, then shook her head. [No, sorry to bother you, sister.]

"How can I apologize? You didn't do anything wrong. It's okay, everyone has something they don't like, no matter what it is, it may become a psychological shadow, just like me, I am afraid of eggplants. Does it sound a bit strange? Many people find it incredible, but I am just afraid." Jun Wuxia bent down, smiled and patted Yu Ru's shoulder.

Yu Ru shook her head, [Not surprising, some emotions are beyond one’s control.]

"Yeah." Jun Wuxia brushed away the strands of hair stuck to Yu Ru's face, smiling, "So this is normal. It was me and Ayi who didn't understand your taboos well and scared you with that kind of thing."

Yu Ru looked at Jun Wuxia and shook her head.

"It's okay." Jun Wuxia comforted him again: "I'll get you some snacks and milk. I'll ask my aunt at home to make some calming tea for you. After you drink it, you can rest here. There are many rooms in the manor, so it's okay for you to stay here."

"Thank you for your help, Sister Junjun." Yun Jixing said, putting his arm around Yu Ru's shoulders.

"It's okay." Jun Wuxia turned his gaze to Yunjixing, "Xingdi, is Xiaoru allergic to anything?"

"No."

"Okay, I'll go get some milk and snacks. You stay here with Xiaoru. I'll have someone bring food over later. You can eat here."

After Jun Wuxia left the room, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called an aunt who worked in the manor.

"Hello, Aunt Liu."

"Hey, ma'am, what's wrong?"

"Aunt Liu, I remember there is an eggplant-related dish on today's menu, right?"

"Yes, ma'am. The eggplants we bought today are really big and pretty. A-Tao and I are going to make an eggplant box with them. Ma'am, is the food not enough? Do you want a few more dishes?"

"No, Aunt Liu, we have enough food. I want you to put away all the eggplants in the house and not cook any dishes related to eggplants. Anyway, I want you not to let guests see that we have eggplants at home."

"Okay, ma'am, I'll go check the house right now. I'll hide all the eggplants."

"okay."

……

After eating the snacks that Jun Wuxia brought over, Yu Ru felt better and calmer, but she looked a little absent-minded.

This situation made Yun Jixing very anxious. He didn't dare to go anywhere and only stayed by Yu Ru's side. He didn't dare to take his hands away from Yu Ru. He just hugged her all the time, or held her hand or held her arm.

"Aru, are you feeling better? Have something to eat, okay?" Yun Jixing put his arm around Yu Ru with one hand and held the bowl of rice in front of her with the other hand.

Yu Ru looked at the food in front of her, shook her head, then weakly raised her hand, covered her mouth, and made a vomiting gesture.

Her action made Yun Jixing's heart tremble. He put down the bowl, hugged Yu Ru with both hands, and put his head against hers. "Aru, you make me so worried. If you have any problems, tell me, okay? Let's solve it together, okay?"

Yu Ru closed her eyes in pain. She didn't know how to express her problems. There were too many things that made her feel painful, too many things that made her feel painful suddenly, and too many things that made her suffer again.

Her questions involve the past and the future, the definition of freedom and entrapment, the possibility of life and death, the temptation of truth and falsehood, and the reasons for being free and easy...

Time and again, she proved to God that she could overcome everything and keep going. Time and again, she fell and then swore again. Sometimes, when she saw herself staggering from afar, she felt a little sad.

Seeing Yu Ru like this, Yun Jixing stopped talking to avoid irritating her. But after a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Aru, I want to ask you something?"

Yu Ru opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Aru..." Yun Jixing gently stroked Yu Ru's head, "Do you have severe depression and anxiety?"

In fact, he had already noticed it and was trying his best to maintain Yu Ru's emotions. However, he felt that Yu Ru's mental state had improved a lot during this period, and the medicine prescribed by Wei Deliang might also have some effect in regulating her emotions. She should be getting better and better. Today, she suddenly had such a serious reaction, which really scared him.

Hearing this, Yu Ru's body froze again. A feeling of shame at being exposed ignited in her body, burning it fiercely, making her feel hot all over, as if she were being bitten by thousands of ants.

"I know, A'ru, it's okay." Yun Jixing stopped asking questions. He hugged Yu Ru tightly and said softly, "Everything will be fine. It may be difficult to let go of the past, but we must also see hope for the future, okay?"
