Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Two days later,

Yun Jixing returned home and landed in Shuicheng. He sent a message to Yu Ru: Aru, are you at home or in the store?

After a long time, Yu Ru replied: Come to Minle Square, put your luggage away and come back.

Following Yu Ru's instructions, Yun Jixing first went back home and then rushed to Minle Square.

It was noon, and the square wasn't crowded. The sun was scorching, so everyone was eating and resting indoors. Yun Jixing stood in an open space in the square, looking around, but didn't see Yu Ru.

He sent another message to Yu Ru asking: A Ru, I'm at the square, where are you?

Yu Ru: Laishuicheng Central People’s Hospital, Room 608, Inpatient Department.

Seeing Yu Ru's message, Yun Jixing's heart began to beat fast. He had a bad feeling and hurried to the hospital. Minle Square was near the hospital, so he quickly arrived at Room 608 of the inpatient department that Yu Ru mentioned.

When I pushed open the door of the ward, the first thing that caught my eye was a patient with his legs hung up, followed by a patient tossing and turning on the bed, looking weak, with his mouth opening and closing as if he was groaning, and only last did I see Yu Ru.

Yu Ru was lying on her side on the bed, looking at her phone with a gloomy expression. Aunt Rong, her aunt, was sitting next to her, also looking worried. He gently closed the door of the hospital room and walked towards Yu Ru.

"Aunt Rong."

"Master, you are finally back." When Aunt Rong saw him, her worry turned into joy, but soon her expression became lost again.

Yun Jixing nodded slightly, then sat down beside the bed, "Aru, what happened?"

Yu Ru glanced at him, didn't answer, and looked at her phone. But after a few seconds, she suddenly put her phone down and pulled the quilt up until it covered her neck. After covering herself with the quilt, she closed her eyes.

"Aru." Yunjixing leaned over and gently stroked her head, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Yu Ru didn't respond.

Aunt Rong saw this and stepped forward and whispered in Yun Jixing's ear, "Master, come over to this corner and I'll tell you something."

"it is good."

Yun Jixing stood up and walked to the side with Aunt Rong. When he got there, he looked back at Yu Ru worriedly.

"Master, the situation is that the day after you left, your wife fell down the stairs and was injured. She was three months pregnant at the time, and the doctor said... your wife had frequent intercourse during her pregnancy, which already made the fetus unstable. The fall not only killed the baby, but also injured her body, making it difficult for her to conceive in the future. However, if she rests well, she should be able to recover."

"My wife is three months pregnant and now she has a miscarriage?" Yun Jixing's breathing suddenly became rapid and his hands began to tremble. "How could this happen?"

They were not trying to get pregnant at the moment, and they always took precautions. Moreover, they never did it when they were drunk or not sober. He had never thought that Yu Ru would get pregnant. He tried to recall every time he was intimate with Yu Ru, thinking about which time he had missed and made her pregnant, but he couldn't think of it.

He stopped thinking about it because it had come to this point. Even thinking about it wouldn't change the outcome. He quickly asked, "Aunt Rong, how high did she fall from? How did she fall? Besides the miscarriage, were there any other symptoms?"

"There were probably four or five steps. She'd been feeling dizzy for a while, probably because of the baby in her belly. Add to that her bad mood over the past couple of days, and the pregnancy symptoms were even more severe. My wife said... she was just dizzy and blurry, and then... she fell down."

Yun Jixing took a deep breath, tried to control his emotions, and replied, "I see, Aunt Rong, have you eaten? If not, go out and eat. I'll take care of this place."

"Master, Sister Long has gone back to cook. It should be delivered soon. The three of us have been eating together in the hospital for the past two days."

"it is good."

……

Yu Ru stayed in the hospital for a full week before being discharged. Yun Jixing finally stayed by her side, as she had hoped, but she couldn't be happy. She was afraid of pain and hadn't considered having children yet, but she couldn't accept losing her right to be a mother. She could choose not to have a child, but she couldn't not have one.

She felt heartbroken when she thought that the child was already three months old and she had dropped him. She thought that the child must be a good child. After all, she was three months old and she didn't react much. Although she felt dizzy sometimes, it was probably because of her and Yunjixing.

"Aru, are you hungry now? Do you want to eat something? I'll make whatever you want to eat." Yun Jixing took Yu Ru's hand and walked slowly into the yard, holding the largest suitcase in the other hand. Two aunts followed behind with a small part of the luggage.

Yu Ru shook her head.

"Still tired, huh? Then go back to your room and rest. You can eat later if you're hungry."

Yu Ru nodded.

Yu Ru was still immersed in the pain of losing her son and couldn't extricate herself. She spoke very little during this period, probably less than ten sentences a day, which made Yun Jixing very worried.

The group walked to the gate of the villa. Yun Jixing stood in front of the door and entered the password. Yu Ru and her aunt were waiting nearby. At this time, Yu Ru noticed a large pile of lumps in the yard. Those things were covered with waterproof cloth, and it was impossible to tell what they were. She raised her hand and pointed at the pile of things and asked, "What is that?"

Hearing this, Yun Jixing looked in the direction she pointed, "An elevator, and some decoration materials, Aru, I'm planning to install an elevator in my home."

"Is it installed because of my fall? I don't fall all the time, and there won't be a next time, so there's no need to install an elevator. Besides, our house is only three stories high, and installing an elevator would be too resource-intensive. It would cost money to use electricity and maintain it in the future."

"Then use that money, Aru. I don't want you to have to go through this again."

"Okay then." Yu Ru nodded.

Entering the house, Yu Ru headed upstairs to sleep. Reaching the stairs, she was startled by the sight before her. Their staircase, once made of solid wood, was plain. Now, it was filled with blankets, and the handrails were wrapped thickly with wool. The wool and blankets were made of the same material, fluffy and soft. Wrapped around the stairs, they resembled a layer cake, and the handrails resembled caterpillars.

Yu Ru stood in front of the stairs and suddenly laughed. She turned her head to look at Yun Jixing and said, "Do you know that this staircase now looks like a caterpillar with two caterpillars crawling on each side? It's really exaggerated."

It was rare for her to smile these past few days, so Yun Jixing smiled too. He walked over and took Yu Ru's hand, saying, "Aru, it's safer this way. No matter how high you slide down, it won't hurt. I'll help you up to rest."

Yu Ruchu stood still, staring at Yun Jixing. The corners of her mouth drooped, and she suddenly burst into tears, "Wuwuwu... My baby..."

"Aru..." Yun Jixing quickly hugged her.
