Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

After hearing the new information from the other end of the phone, Officer Zhu and Officer Cao couldn't help but sigh, but they didn't have that much time to be sad, nor could they empathize too much. What they had to do now was to make the whole incident clear as soon as possible.

The two hung up the phone and returned to the interrogation room to continue questioning Feng Jianguo. This time, because they had some new information about his brother, they successfully got Feng Jianguo to tell them everything he knew.

However, Feng Jianguo was very close to the brink of collapse because of this.

Before Liu Changping was killed, he had been imprisoned for nearly two months. Yun Liuyi arranged for people to interrogate him, hoping to get some different information about the Yun family from him. He even resorted to lynching at an extraordinary moment.

Under such circumstances, he said nothing. Firstly, he was just a bodyguard living in the Yun family to protect the safety of the family, and he really didn't know anything. Secondly, he didn't want to betray the Yun family, so he didn't say a word.

One can imagine the torture he suffered.

Feng Jianguo knew all of this. He had even witnessed his own brother being tortured, but he didn't know that he was his brother and even cheered for it in his heart.

Thinking back on all this, he felt filled with anger and remorse. His body struggled constantly, and his hands were bleeding from being rubbed by the pair of shiny silver handcuffs.

……

The old house of the Yun family,

After the family meeting, because Yu Ru was not feeling well, Yun Jixing did not take her to the party with everyone, but took her back to the yard of his small home to rest.

His courtyard was called Jiuxiao Pavilion, which was taken from the line "Stars are moving over thousands of houses, and the moon is close to the nine heavens", but he never wanted to live in this courtyard. Combined with the original poem, this name implies the emperor's high and distant residence. It is too big, and he feels that he cannot control it. However, over the years, he has not encountered any problems because of this courtyard, so he has continued to live there.

Walking to the inner courtyard, Yunjixing explained: "Aru, this is our courtyard. When you come back here in the future, we will live here."

Yu Ru looked around the yard, nodded with satisfaction, then looked at him and gave him a thumbs up, indicating that this place was great.

He smiled and kissed her head, saying, "As long as you like it, let's go in."

Yu Ru went out this time with a black backpack, which was quite heavy. I don't know what was in it. Yun Jixing carried it for her. After entering the room, he put down the backpack first, and then helped Yu Ru sit down on the bed.

The bed was a moon-shaped bed with four gentlemen carved in patterns. It was hard in texture, and Yun Jixing didn't want to let her lean on it directly for fear of hurting her, so he turned around and fetched some pillows from somewhere else and put them on the bed before letting her lean on it.

After she sat down, Yun Jixing followed and sat beside her. He put his arm around her shoulders and asked softly, "Aru, I'll ask someone to bring you something to eat. Eat and then rest, okay?"

Yu Ruwei closed her eyes and nodded.

Yun Jixing touched her arm with heartache, then took out his cell phone to make a call.

The call was quickly connected, and a friendly female voice came out, "Master Yuan, what can I do for Auntie?"

"Aunt Meixi, my fiancée and I are a little hungry. Could you please bring some food to Jiuxiao Pavilion?"

"Okay, no problem, Master Yuan, what do you and Madam want to eat? The kitchen now has dumplings, glutinous rice balls, cicada soup, steamed buns, fruit, glutinous rice and lotus root, mushroom and lard rice, crab roe soup dumplings, and Yuanxiu vegetable dumplings."

"Please give me less, Aunt Meixi. Please take it by yourself. Sorry for the trouble."

"okay."

After finishing the call, Yun Jixing turned to look at Yu Ru, and saw that her eyes were completely closed. He reached out and stroked her arm very lightly, and this action woke her up again.

Yun Jixing looked at her, concentrating and calming down, not daring to move. His eyes were like those of an old cow, full of deep and lasting emotions that could not be forgotten.

Yu Ru also looked at him. She reached out a hand and touched his face, then signed, "What's wrong? I think you seem a little unhappy?"

"Are you unhappy again?" Yun Jixing moved closer to Yu Ru, stretched out his hand and hugged her with a smile, "Is it obvious?"

Yu Ru shook her head and pulled her hands out of his arms. [Not obvious, but I think so.]

"That's good, that's good..." Yun Jixing leaned over and gently kissed her forehead. After the kiss, he stayed close to her without moving.

Yu Ru felt that he was lost in some sense, so she held one of his hands, hoping that he could feel the comfort that she could not express.

After a long while, Yun Jixing said, "Aru, I feel so useless."

He let go of Yu Ru and moved some distance from her so that he could look her in the eye, his hands still supporting her arms. "We've been together for a few months, but I can't make you happy. I think... I think..."

Yun Jixing suddenly choked up and could not speak. Now when he saw Yu Ru, Ling Yanluo's words came to his mind. Fortunately, things were not irreversible yet. Although Yu Ru was just hanging on for a breath, it would not be so easy for her to die.

In layman's terms, Yu Ru is now in a half-dead state, and it is not so easy to kill her.

He didn't understand, he was very confused, why the way Yu Ru saved him used to heal her had no effect at all.

Perhaps the scope of their psychological fusion is too narrow, and he still doesn't understand Yu Ru enough. So, what method should he use to enter the other door in Yu Ru's heart?

"Aru... I often see you worried and sick, and you can't walk without clothes. You haven't stopped taking medicine for such a long time. I feel... so sorry for you. I didn't take good care of you and didn't fulfill my promises to you."

Yu Ru leaned on Yun Jixing, stared at him peacefully for a while, took out her cell phone and started typing.

She sent a message to Yun Jixing: Grandpa Ling said that heart illness needs to be treated with heart medicine, so the only one who can truly take care of me and save me is myself.

Don't blame yourself like this. In my opinion, you have done your best to take care of me, and you have nothing to be sorry for. You should just work hard and don't worry about me. I still have goals to achieve and I will live a good life. I have been too negative recently, which must have affected you. I don't want to be a burden on your emotions.

There are many possibilities for people. Even if they have already succeeded, no one should be able to refuse to find more external value and achieve deeper development. It is a hateful sin to maliciously hinder the development of others, even the development of the person next to you. This is my opinion, so when you go home, go to work and fight for your career. I will be fine.

On the other hand, the negative, pessimistic, and perverse thoughts and emotions in my heart are not completely bad. Although a strong fighting spirit may be born out of suffering, it does not like suffering. I love internal consumption, which makes me feel very depressed, but I have done everything I should do. For me, being highly tense and thinking that I am in a difficult situation will stimulate my fighting spirit to survive, and I will be more proactive in learning more things for survival.

So, even in the current situation, you can still see the good side and you don’t have to worry too much.

After reading the message she sent, Yun Jixing did not feel comforted. Instead, he felt even more sad, and his expression showed even more of aggrieved.

"But Aru, you think about those things, about not being able to eat well and sleep well, how can that be okay? Why do you think being in a happy state is a process of not making progress? Everything people do is basically for survival and for the pursuit of a happier feeling. Happiness and progress are not contradictory. You put your situation in too extreme a position, which makes you feel a little less worthy. Don't be like this, relax a little."

As he said this, he hugged Yu Ru tightly.

After hugging for a while, he held Yu Ru's face with both hands and said seriously: "Aru...others want their significant others to spend more time with them, why do you want to drive me away?"

Seeing him like this, Yu Ru guessed that he had misunderstood something, and she replied on her mobile phone: I will relax, I will try my best. If I didn't like you, I would have broken up with you and disappeared, instead of talking to you here, and you would never see me again. I just think that if you love someone, you must never treat that feeling badly, and treat that person badly.

Since love is so sacred and needs to be pure, then loving someone should be generous and tolerant, honest and respectful. You are an independent individual, and it is not right for me to tie you to my side every day. If it were me, I certainly would not want someone to prohibit me from working, restrict my actions, and make me revolve around him all day long in the name of love. I don't want to drive you away, I just want to spur you to achieve greater success in your career.

This was clear enough, and Yu Ru thought Yun Jixing would be happy to see it. When hearing someone explain love so seriously, it's impossible not to be happy, right?

Jade cicada soup:

The origin of Jade Cicada Soup is closely related to the food culture of the Southern Song Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, fish production was abundant and varied, and many fish-related delicacies were born. (my country's food culture began very early, and many delicacies were studied before that, not just the abundance of fish in the Song Dynasty) Jade Cicada Soup is one of them. It is a very famous dish in the history of the Song Dynasty. It is spicy and fresh, and the taste is unique. Song Gaozong once included it in the list of imperial dishes.

This dish was originally made by coating fish slices with bean powder and boiling them in a pan. After being coated with mung bean powder, the fish slices are shaped like cicada wings and are white as jade, hence the name Jade Cicada Soup. Its name "Jade Cicada Soup" not only reflects the appearance and taste of the dish, but also contains certain cultural connotations.

If you want to know more about food records, you can read the book "Shilin Guangji" written by Chen Yuanliang in the Southern Song Dynasty. It covers astronomy and geography, as well as the cooking methods of many dishes. I won't go into details here.

Yuanxiu Vegetable Dumplings:

The "Yuanxiu" in Yuanxiu Yuanzi comes from Su Shi's poem "Yuanxiu Cai". In fact, Yuanxiu Cai refers to the local oil potato in Meishan.

The main ingredients of this dish may include sweet potatoes and pork meatballs. The sweet potatoes and pork meatballs are cooked together in the soup to fully blend into a delicious dish with good color, aroma and taste.
