Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 18 A Moment of Helplessness

After returning home, Yu Ru was always worried, as if something bad was going to happen. She walked around the house, constantly checking every corner of the house, especially the doors and windows.

When Xu Cheng spoke to her for the last time, that look, as sticky as snot, left a strong aftereffect on her. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. When she became anxious, she would feel uncomfortable all over, as if her heart was being bitten by thousands of ants.

She checked all the doors and windows of her house to make sure that everything was safe and that strangers could not come in easily. Then she started taking the dolls at home and throwing them on the ground to vent her bad emotions.

"Ahhhhh! Go away! Go away!" she screamed desperately.

She can speak. When she was very young, she really couldn't speak because it wasn't due to vocal cord damage, but functional aphonia caused by mental stimulation. After receiving treatment and recuperating for a period of time, she recovered. But she can only speak to herself when no one is around. She can't speak in front of others. No matter what she does, she can't speak.

The fact that she couldn't speak was a blessing and a curse for her. She could remain silent about many things she didn't want to answer, but when she was wronged, she couldn't defend herself.

If someone were standing next to her now, they would definitely be scared by her crazy appearance.

Only Yu Ru herself knows how weak she is. Her seemingly brave appearance is just an over-packaging of her cowardice and helplessness. She is just bluffing.

She didn't stop venting until she had thrown all the dozens of dolls in the house to the ground. Her strength was exhausted and she was extremely hungry, so she kept wailing and complaining to her.

She didn't have the energy to cook, nor did she have the mood to do so, so she just made a packet of instant noodles.

While she was eating noodles, Ming Shisui sent her more than a dozen messages in a row.

There is nothing special about it, just what she saw and heard today. She saw a big fish pond in one of her employer's homes, which was filled with big, colorful carps. There was also a fountain in the employer's home. The whole home was like a tourist attraction.

She also made a wish to the colorful carp in the pond.

Ming Shisui sent many text messages and attached many photos. The most photographed were the big carps. She also asked her to make a wish, because the big carps in the pond were the big carps that had been blessed by the temple.

Can carp be blessed?

Yu Ruzhen felt that she had gained a lot of knowledge. Is there anything in this world that cannot be consecrated by a master?

She was actually very upset and didn't want to chat, but she still replied to all the messages Ming Shisui sent her, and also replied to more than a dozen messages.

Just after she replied to Ming Shisui, Yun Jixing's message bombarded her again. Her phone kept ringing. She didn't have the energy to reply anymore, so she temporarily turned her phone to silent mode. After roughly browsing the things Yun Jixing sent, she put down her phone, went back to her room, lay down to rest, and fell asleep unknowingly.

at night,

Yu Ru suddenly woke up from her sleep.

It was already dark outside, and the whole room was dark. She reached for the bedside and turned on the light. She picked up her phone and checked the time. It was already past seven o'clock. She had slept for an hour without realizing it.

She slept for quite a long time, but she didn't feel that her fatigue was relieved. Instead, she felt even more tired. Her whole body was weak, especially her heart, as if it had endured something it shouldn't have suffered. Now that she had woken up, her heart was beating wildly and pounding her chest desperately to protest against her.

She picked up the thermos on the bedside table, opened it, drank a few sips of water, then leaned back on the bed and began to daydream.

It was unknown how long it took before the feeling of powerlessness in her disappeared.

She started to feel like this when she was very young, when she was still an elementary school student. She often felt tired and weak all over. The condition became more serious as she got older. High school was the worst stage. Now that she is working, it is a little better.

Her feeling of powerlessness is not just a feeling, it is real powerlessness. Sometimes she is so weak that she can't even lift her hands, and it is difficult to type on her phone. This has not only affected her work, but also her life. Sometimes she can't even hold the chopsticks steadily, and she is particularly embarrassed when eating, and she will drop food all over the table.

Because of this, when she goes out to eat with others, she likes to use a spoon, and only uses chopsticks at home. She is afraid that she will not be able to hold the chopsticks and drop the food, making a fool of herself in front of others.

Yu Ru felt herself recovering, so she picked up her phone again and carefully checked the new messages sent to her, some of which were from today's client Xu Cheng.

"Master Yu, you don't have a boyfriend, right? I can see that. Don't you like me?"

"Sometimes, you have to get along with people before you know if they are good or not. You don't even know me, so how could you push me away so quickly?"

"Master Yu, what are you doing?"

Yu Ru got goosebumps after reading this information. Thinking of Xu Cheng's smiling tiger look, she didn't know how to respond.

After thinking for a long time, she decided to respond firmly, so as to avoid Xu Cheng misunderstanding that she was playing hard to get. It was okay to offend him, after all, he was not her only client, and she could still make money without him.

"Boss Xu, you and I are just Party A and Party B. You don't have to bother guessing anything. I just hope that we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future. Other irrelevant aspects can be left undiscussed."

As soon as she sent the message, the other party replied almost immediately.

"Master Yu, what you said is a bit hurtful. You are still a little girl, you don't understand. You should find a reliable person to live with to be more secure, so you need to communicate more with others, like me."

"I've spent a lot of time trying to understand you. If you don't believe me, make an appointment with me and you'll know for sure."

Being with someone like you is the beginning of despair, right?

Yu Ru thought silently in her heart.

She frowned as she looked at the message from Xu Cheng on her phone, wondering when Xu Cheng had targeted her. The feeling of being targeted made her feel sick. She didn't dare to reply to the message anymore, fearing that the more she replied, the more excited Xu Cheng would be, so she simply blocked all his contact information.

At noon the next day,

When Yu Ru was cooking, she found that there was no salt left at home, so she planned to go out and buy a few packets.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went downstairs, I saw Xu Cheng.

He was wearing a suit and brand new leather shoes, and his hair was shiny and greasy, as if it had been slopped in by hairspray or something. He was holding a large bouquet of flowers in his hand, leaning against a red car, and looking at his cell phone.

This scene is similar to the day when Yun Jixing came to give her a "birthday present", but the same scene happening to Xu Cheng is simply eye-catching.

Yu Ru used to be annoyed by Yun Jixing, but now compared with Xu Cheng, he is simply an angel. If the two of them stand together, it is like a reed leaning against a jade tree.

She secretly observed the situation around her and found that some of the residents were sitting at the doorstep to peek in, while others were watching through the windows.
