Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Yu Ru didn’t know how to respond to Yun Jixing, and fell silent again. She lowered her eyes, not daring to look into Yun Jixing’s eyes, but from time to time she couldn’t help but lift her eyelids to observe him.

Yun Jixing had been staring at her. He stretched out a hand and slowly moved closer to her, wanting to touch her hair. She turned her head to the side in time to avoid his hand, so he had to withdraw his hand awkwardly.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Aru, you said before that even if you like me, you won't be with me. Can you tell me why? Tell me and I'll solve it, okay?"

Yu Ru thought about it and felt that it was too embarrassing to say what she was thinking, and it would also be weird to tell Yun Jixing about those things, so she chose not to say it.

She grabbed a doll that was placed aside and held it in her arms, then used sign language to say, "I am a fantasist. I want perfect love and unchanging sincerity, but such a thing can never happen to me. Compared to a real man being happy with me, I believe that my relationship with this doll can last a lifetime. So, don't bother to solve anything. This problem is not an external factor, but my inner cognition and belief, which you cannot change."

Yun Jixing stared at her intently, thinking silently in his heart: Dear Aru, you don’t realize that when our communication involves personal values ​​and self-cognition, our communication is no longer a simple communication. It is the communication of the soul beyond the body. The first step to perfect love has actually begun.

However, he felt that he could not say such words, as it might affect Yu Ru's own judgment and confuse Yu Ru to be with him without knowing it. This was not what he wanted. He wanted Yu Ru to fall in love with him clearly.

Therefore, he smiled at Yu Ru and replied, "Aru, I understand what you mean. You are right, 'two grasses are like one heart, and the human heart is not as good as grass'. In reality, most men's expressions of feelings are cheap and crude. I dare not guarantee you that I am a perfect man. In fact, I dare not guarantee you that I am definitely a good person, so... let time prove everything."

After saying that, he picked up the rice bowl on the table, picked up the spoon and continued to scoop rice for Yu Ru to eat, "Aru, the food is cold, eat first."

Yu Ru stared into his eyes, trying to see some conspiracy, but no, she couldn't see anything, she only saw a sincere heart. She didn't want to look anymore, she retracted her gaze, stared at the spoon in Yun Jixing's hand, and opened her mouth slightly to accept his feeding.

……

After Yun Jixing left, Yu Ru lay on the sofa in a daze. She closed her eyes, half leaning on the sofa, emptying her mind and allowing herself to do nothing. She didn't even notice Ming Shisui coming over and sitting next to her.

Ming Shisui looked at her face carefully, guessing her mood, and reached out to poke her arm gently, but she still didn't respond.

"Baby, baby, baby."

She called out several times before she responded.

Yu Ru opened her eyes and looked at Ming Shisui, still a little dazed. She was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. [What happened?]

Ming Shisui turned around and looked around, and asked, "Baby, is Brother Yunduo gone? Did you have enough to eat?"

Yu Ru nodded, [He left, I am full.]

"Baby, can you still eat?" Mingshi said as he picked up a thermos bag from his side.

She opened the thermal bag, took out a large jar of yogurt, a box of egg yolk crisps, and a box of small cakes, handed them to Yu Ru, and said, "Baby, this is what my mother made for you. She just made it today."

Yu Ru sat up on the sofa with her hands, then took the things from her and nodded. She put the egg yolk pastry and cake aside and unscrewed the lid of the yogurt.

Ming Shi handed her a spoon immediately and said, "Baby, eat with a spoon."

Yu Ru took the spoon and nodded.

When she was about to eat the yogurt, she suddenly thought of something, put the yogurt down, said hello to Ming Shisui, and turned to go to her bedroom.

Soon, she came back with a small brown paper bag in her hand.

She returned to Ming Shisui and sat down beside him, handing her the bag. [This is a New Year's gift from Yunjixing. I couldn't decide whether to keep it or not, so I decided to stay. Take a look.]

"Ah? Brother Yun Duo gave it to me?" Ming Shisui widened his eyes in surprise and took the bag with both hands. "Baby, why would he give me a gift? I'm not familiar with him, I don't want his gift."

[On the day you left, he came to give me a New Year's present. Maybe he saw that you and I had a good relationship, so he felt it necessary to give you one as well.]

"Well...baby, let's see what's inside."

When I opened the small box inside the bag, I saw a small gold bar weighing 100g lying inside, filling the box completely.

"Wow! Baby, it's gold!" Ming Shisui picked up the small gold bar and looked at it carefully. He then looked at Yu Ru and handed the gold to her, asking her to check it carefully. "Baby, is this real gold? It's quite heavy."

Yu Ru took the gold and looked at it, then gently put it back into the box. [He is so rich, he wouldn't give a fake one.]

Ming Shisui nodded, closed the box, and said, "Baby, it's real gold, it's very expensive, I don't want his things, and I'm not familiar with him. Can you help me return it to him, okay?"

Yu Ru nodded slightly, took the box and put it back into the bag, [I'll help you take it back to him later.]

"Hmm!" Ming Shisui picked up the yogurt on the table and said, "Baby, eat the yogurt quickly, or it will get hot."

Yu Ru nodded, took the yogurt and continued eating, while Ming Shisui watched from the side.

After a while, Yu Ru felt uncomfortable with her gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me?"

"I'll just look at you, baby, because you're so cute. I have nothing to do, so I'll just look at you." Ming Shisui said with a smile, "Eat quickly, I won't do anything, I'll just look at you."

That’s enough. That’s really enough.

When someone praised her for being cute, Yu Ru felt extremely awkward and weird, and her hair stood on end and her skin crawled. But Ming Shisui usually praised people sincerely, not forcibly, and she didn't want to offend her, so she could only nod and eat yogurt as if nothing had happened.

"Baby, did anything happen to you here during the New Year?" Ming Shisui asked again.

Yu Ru shook her head.

Ming Shisui sighed, "Baby, something bad happened when I went home for the New Year."

Yu Ru raised her eyes and looked at her, asking about the situation with her eyes.

"Well..." Ming Shisui sighed again, "My parents suddenly don't want me to study abroad anymore. They said it's too dangerous and they're afraid something might happen to me. But I talked to them for a long time and they finally agreed, though they were a little unhappy."

Yu Ru put down the yogurt and responded in sign language, "Then you should seize every opportunity to return home. The airline will reimburse you, right?"

"The company said it would reimburse me once a month at most, if I reimburse more than that I'll pay for it myself."

[Then you can go back once a month, if possible. When you are abroad...try to spend less time with people who make you feel uncomfortable, and try not to go out late at night.]
