Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

When Yu Ru returned to Huacheng, he developed a high fever that night due to the huge time difference between the two countries and the changeable weather.

She noticed that she was having a fever and took medicine immediately. When she woke up the next day and took her temperature, the fever had subsided, but she still felt dizzy and weak all over.

Here, the closest person to her was Yunjixing, and everyone else was a little far away. She thought about calling Yunjixing for help, but in the end she didn't do it. She curled up on the bed, holding her phone tightly, closed her eyes, and waited for herself to fall asleep again.

Her phone was still on, and the interface was still on where she was chatting with Yun Jixing.

Just at this time, Yunjixing took the initiative to send a message: Aru, have you returned to China? My childhood friend is getting married, so I won't be in Huacheng these days. I'm going to Nancheng. I'll come back to see you after a while. If you encounter any difficulties, please tell me and I'll find someone to help you deal with it.

He had been away from Huacheng for a day. Xi Yizai and Jun Wuxia's wedding was held in a mountain villa in another city. He and Jiang Zaizhou were two members of the best man group and would be with Xi Yizai most of the time. They also had to go there early to prepare.

Yu Ru felt the vibration of her cell phone. She raised her eyelids and took a look at the phone. When she saw the messages sent by Yun Jixing, the little bit of hope in her heart was completely killed.

For an adult, fever is not actually a serious illness. In most cases, people with a common fever are generally clear-headed and can find medicine and walk on their own.

But Yu Ru's fever was very severe. I don't know if she was too weak to bear it or what, but when she had a fever, she needed someone to watch over her all the time, otherwise it was very difficult to bear and made her life worse than death.

Now there is no one to help her, she can only save herself, she is very hungry, she needs to eat something.

She grabbed her cell phone and walked out with unsteady steps. She remembered that there were some snacks and bread in the living room, so she wanted to get some to fill her stomach, but as soon as she walked into the living room, she couldn't help but kneel down.

She lay on the ground, gasping for breath. After lying there for a while, she half crawled, half knelt to the sofa.

On the table next to the sofa was a bag of unopened chocolates and several packets of biscuits. She knelt in front of the sofa, hurriedly opened a few pieces of chocolate and bread and ate them, then collapsed on the sofa and fell asleep.

It was already afternoon when she woke up again. She had woken up several times before, but this time, the scene when she opened her eyes was very different. A strange woman whom she didn't recognize at all was sitting next to her.

A particularly dignified and beautiful woman, elegant and gentle like the breeze that nourishes all things, she looks to be in her twenties or thirties.

She was wearing a purple cheongsam with a peony pattern and a white shawl. Around her neck she wore a purple crystal and diamond necklace that looked like something she got from a deity in the Dunhuang murals. On her hand she wore a high icy spring-colored jade bracelet. Her hair was all tied up in a bun, adorned with a silver-gilt coral hairpin and a pearl comb.

She is very elegant, and her every move shows a natural calmness. With this kind of dress, she looks like a noble lady from the Republic of China period. It is impossible to take your eyes off her after taking one look at her.

Yu Ru looked at her blankly. Perhaps her brain was confused by the burning sensation last night. When she saw the strange woman in front of her, she forgot to be vigilant.

Chi Qinghuai looked at her with a smile and said, "Little baby, are you awake? I'm sorry for coming here without permission. I don't want to do such a thing as trespassing, but Xingxing is very worried about you, so I came here."

It was a particularly gentle voice that made people feel like they were soaking in a honey pot. Yu Ru blinked her eyes, and her eyes almost popped out, and she didn't react to what was happening.

The most important thing was that she felt that the woman in front of her was not on the same level as herself. She thought she was hallucinating and hearing hallucinations, so she looked around and knocked her head.

Seeing her like this, Chi Qinghuai smiled. She asked with concern, "Baby, it's not hallucination now, are you still dizzy? You can talk to me in sign language, I know sign language."

Baby...

Yu Ru's body trembled slightly, her bones almost falling apart at the sound of these words. From childhood to adulthood, her parents had never called her like this, which was even more so than Ming Shisui's "baby"...

Uh...she couldn't describe the feeling either.

She quickly came back to her senses and shook her head, then supported herself on the sofa with one hand and tried to sit up. Chi Qinghuai immediately went to help her.

Yu Ru sat up and wanted to find her phone to type on it to communicate with Chi Qinghuai. As soon as she touched the phone, she suddenly realized that the woman had just spoken in sign language, and her hand that was about to take the phone was stiffly stretched back.

She turned to Chi Qinghuai and asked in sign language, "Sister, I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now. I was a little confused when someone suddenly appeared in front of me. Are you Yunjixing's sister?"

It’s no wonder she thought so. Although she didn’t know that Yunjixing’s nickname was Xingxing, anyone who could come in here must be someone who has a very close relationship with him.

Sometimes she was very wary of Yun Jixing, but sometimes she had a mysterious trust in him. The password for the door here was the same as before Yun Jixing rented the house to her, and it had never been changed.

There are only two people who know the password to her front door, one is Ming Shisui and the other is Yun Jixing. Now the woman in front of her also knows it, so she should be related to Yun Jixing. She knows the situation of Ming Shisui's family, and she has no such relatives in her family.

The main reason is that Yun Jixing and the person in front of him look 60% similar, and it seems like they are related by blood.

"Oh, little baby, why do you think I'm Xingxing's sister?" Chi Qinghuai covered his mouth and laughed.

After laughing, she continued, "It's my fault too. I never told you who I am. Let me introduce myself. I'm Yunjixing's mother. You can just call me auntie, not sister. I'm almost fifty years old, and you're two years younger than Xingxing. It would be embarrassing for you to call me sister or auntie."

Compared to Chi Qinghuai being fifty years old, Yu Ru would rather believe that she was fifty years old. It was too scary. Chi Qinghuai's face showed the traces of time, but if she didn't say that she was Yun Jixing's mother, she really couldn't imagine that the woman in front of her would be fifty years old.

Yu Ru looked at Chi Qinghuai and nodded blankly, using sign language to sign, "Sister, thank you for coming to see me. It's a bother for you. But are you really not my sister? You look at most 30 years old, and from other angles you look like 18 years old. ]

This made Chi Qinghuai laugh again. She tilted her head slightly and laughed, "Hahaha, little baby, what you said is so sweet. Auntie is really an auntie. I will be fifty soon. I'm not lying to you. Then let me show you a photo."

She picked up the bag beside her, took out her cell phone, clicked a few times, and then held the phone in front of Yu Ru.

The phone screen showed a photo of Chi Qinghuai when he was young and Yun Jixing when he was a child. Chi Qinghuai had not changed much, and was even more beautiful than before, but Yun Jixing was small, still like an elementary school student, and looked very similar to now, and it could be seen that they were the same person.

After showing the photos to Yu Ru, Chi Qinghuai explained to her the circumstances of her coming here.

She was not the only one who came here today. There was also an aunt from their family. However, Yu Ru was in a coma and she came here without permission, so it was not convenient to bring so many people in.

The aunt has been preparing meals in Yunjixing's residence downstairs for some time and she should be almost ready now.

"Baby, Xingxing told me that you haven't been replying to messages. You might be sick. When I saw you, you were really sick. You had a low-grade fever and you looked drowsy and a little unconscious. I asked the doctor at home to give you a simple acupuncture. How do you feel now? Are you feeling better?"

Yu Ru nodded, "Thank you, Auntie. I'm much better now."
