Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Two weeks later, Yu Ru moved into Jianshan Yunting.

After experiencing the incident where Xu Cheng came to her house, she felt that it was too dangerous for her to live alone in that old-style residential building, so she moved into Yunjixing's house in Jianshan Yunting, paying a monthly rent of two thousand yuan.

Yun Jixing actually only has one house in Jianshan Yunting, and he doesn't live in that house. He lives with his parents. But for Yu Ru, he directly bought the house downstairs from the original one, and moved there before Yu Ru moved into Jianshan Yunting.

In this way, it would be very easy for him to see Yu Ru. He just had to go upstairs.

Yu Ru just moved into her new home yesterday, and today is the first day she and Yun Jixing officially become neighbors.

This morning, Yun Jixing got up to make breakfast and also made a portion for Yu Ru. After he finished his own breakfast, he put the portion for Yu Ru at her door before going to work.

Yu Ru planned to go out early today to buy some fresh vegetables and cook a delicious meal to reward herself for moving into a new home, so not long after Yun Jixing left, she opened the door and prepared to go out.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw an insulated bag at her doorstep with a note on it.

She squatted down and picked up the note to check. It said: Ah Ru, I got up early today and had a lot of time, so I made you breakfast. I hope you like it. You should eat more. You are too thin. I am going to work and may be back around 5pm. If you have anything, you can contact me by phone. As long as it is you, you can interrupt whatever I am doing at any time.

Yu Ru stood there and looked at the note in her hand in silence for a long time, and finally returned to the house with Yun Jixing's breakfast. She sat down on the sofa in the living room, put everything on the table, and then carefully opened the thermal bag.

There were so many things in it that the amount of food in one breakfast was enough for her to eat in a day. She took out a box of fried rice, a bowl of soup, a bottle of hot soy milk, two boxes of small cakes, two boxes of fruit, and a box of what looked like dessert.

Just like she looked at the note, she looked at the breakfast in front of her for a long time. It would feel weird if she ate it, but it would be a waste if she didn't eat it. She struggled between the two options for a long time and finally chose the former.

But when she ate it, she felt so uncomfortable and painful that she couldn't help crying.

She had previously decided not to have too much involvement with Yun Jixing and not to waste his time and emotions, but the reality was that the connections between them were increasing, and Yun Jixing had now become her landlord, so they could not be cut off in any way.

She couldn't help but wonder, was she really a mean person? She said she didn't want to get too involved with Yun Jixing, but she enjoyed the benefits he brought her.

She felt like she was being melted away by the unbearable force, and turned into a pile of withered bones and rotten flesh. She frantically tried to piece herself back together and reshape herself, but when she reached out to touch, she found that the damaged areas on her skin were all covered with warts and ulcers, which were so disgusting that she dared not get close.

She seemed to be powerless to deal with the decay of this body and the dissolution of her soul. She could only watch herself decay along with the grass and trees, and finally merge with the soil and disappear.

What Yun Jixing had done for her before could be said to be ordinary things a pursuer would do, but the same cannot be said of what he had done for her during this period.

He helped her deal with Xu Cheng and found her a good house to live in. These two things helped her get through a major hurdle in her life. He was her benefactor.

If she were to handle Xu Cheng's affairs herself, it's not that she couldn't handle it, but it would be troublesome and take some time. Xu Cheng was a second-generation rich man, his family had some money, he started his own business, and had connections, which ordinary people couldn't handle, but Yun Jixing almost ruined his family.

Xu Cheng's own factory company was involved in many scandals some time ago, including withholding workers' wages and deaths, while his father's company was involved in tax evasion and bribery of an official.

The incident caused a big stir, with news all over reporting on the "good deeds" done by the father and son. As for the death, a special task force has been set up to investigate.

Those things actually happened a long time ago, but nothing happened until now. They were all exposed not long after Xu Cheng went to her house. There was no doubt that it must have been Yun Jixing who did it.

While she was eating, Ming Shisui called her via video. She quickly wiped away her tears, found a phone holder to fix her phone, and answered the call.

As soon as the call was connected, Ming Shisui noticed something was wrong with her, "Baby, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes so red? Did you cry?"

Yu Ru shook her head, but tears still flowed down her face.

"Baby, what's wrong with you? Where are you?" Ming Shisui became anxious.

Yu Ru put the phone down, suppressed her voice and cried alone for a while, then picked up the phone again and responded to Ming Shisui in sign language, "I moved."

……

Ming Shisui had no classes this morning, so he set out to meet Shan Yunting to find Yu Ru.

Jianshan Yunting was too big and she couldn't find the way without someone to lead the way, and of course, she couldn't get in. So Yu Ru took the community manager's sightseeing car to pick her up at the gate of Jianshan Yunting.

After seeing Yu Ru, Ming Shisui asked immediately, "Baby, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"

Yu Ru just shook her head.

"Baby, tell me. It's better to talk about your troubles. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else, not even my mom. Okay?"

Yu Ru was silent for a while, then said, "I don't know how to put it. It's too complicated."

"Then..." Ming Shisui was also very distressed about this, "Then think about it. If you can't think of anything, just say whatever you want."

[Please come to my house and sit for a while. I need to think about it.]

Ming Shisui followed Yu Ru back to her new home, a large flat of nearly 300 square meters. Looking at her new home, Ming Shisui opened his mouth slightly in surprise, "Wow! Baby, your home is so big!"

Yu Ru nodded, "It's very big, sit wherever you want."

After they both sat down on the sofa, Ming Shisui looked around curiously and then asked about Yu Ru's situation, "Baby, why are you crying? Have you thought about it?"

Yu Ru was silent again.

Ming Shisui grabbed her hand and shook it, "Baby, just tell me, don't worry about it."

After a long time, Yu Ru used sign language to express her troubles, but she did not say that the person who troubled her was Yun Jixing.

After listening to her troubles, Ming Shisui hugged her shoulders with a look of pity, "Baby, how can you think of yourself like this? You are very good, the best person I have ever known, no one is better than you. You also asked that boy not to pursue you, but he still wanted to pursue you, then there is nothing we can do, it is not your fault. He helped you, so you should help him next time. Everyone will encounter difficulties, so you should help each other. You are also very capable, maybe you can help him one day."

Yu Ru shook her head, "I can't help him. His family must be very rich and powerful. No matter what happens, it's not my turn to help. I don't want to get involved with him too much, but it's inevitable that this situation has occurred."

"Then..." Ming Shisui smacked his lips, thought for a moment, and then said, "Then you should give him a lot of gifts, because he will be happy when he receives gifts. Happiness is not something that ordinary people can give, but you can definitely make him happy."

[But if I'm not with him and I keep giving him gifts, won't our relationship become increasingly chaotic?]

"Ouch." Ming Shisui gently shook Yu Ru with the hand that was gently around her, "How could that be? You are friends, isn't it normal for friends to give each other gifts? Just like us."

Yu Ru felt that there was some truth in this and she no longer felt so conflicted and upset. She nodded, indicating that she roughly knew what she should do.

Ming Shisui added, "Baby, your difficulty is because of that boy, so does that count as a difficulty shared by both of you? How about you tell that boy too, and ask him to help you find a solution? There is strength in numbers."
