Wan Chuncao stood in front of Xu Muyu and frowned for the first time: "The car is here, but you can't get on?"

The driver couldn't see Xu Muyu, so he could only say to Wan Chuncao: "You didn't tell me that there was a disabled passenger before you placed the order. You didn't even tell me that he was in a wheelchair."

Wan Chuncao frowned and asked, "So you're going to refuse to give us a ride?"

"His wheelchair is not convenient, please close the door for me first."

The driver asked Wan Chuncao to close the car door as he was leaving.

Wan Chuncao did not try to persuade the driver to stay and closed the door.

As soon as the car door closed, the driver turned the car around and drove away, running faster than if he had encountered some bad luck.

This was not the first time Xu Muyu had encountered such an embarrassing situation. He should have been used to it and should have expected to encounter such a thing.

He hoped that she would also understand that for a man like him, going out would be a humiliation.

Without saying anything else, he pushed his wheelchair and turned back.

Wan Chuncao stood in front of him. Even though she heard the sound of the wheelchair turning with difficulty behind her, she did not move aside or look back.

"..."

Xu Muyu turned the wheelchair with great difficulty, but accidentally bumped into her calf. She then turned around, looking unusually serious.

She stood in front of him, blocking most of the sunlight and casting a shadow on herself. She said nothing, but Xu Muyu saw strong emotions on her face.

It's not anger, it's not sadness, it's not pity, it's heartache.

They stood in the sun, staring at each other silently. She finally reached out and patted his head, then held his hand, not to comfort him but to tell him the truth: "It's okay."

It’s okay, there will always be people who say that.

She would say so.

Xu Muyu hid in the shadow she created for himself and looked at her. Strangely enough, her feelings really came through to him and he understood what she wanted to say.

After saying this, Wan Chuncao turned her back and stood in front of Xu Muyu, continuing to block the light for him, without letting go of his hand.

She held on tightly and could not be easily shaken off. Xu Muyu looked at her back in vain, with the feeling of being patted just now still lingering on his head.

He wanted to reach out and touch her, but in the end he did nothing and could only let her hold his hand.

The afternoon sun was still hot. They went out without an umbrella, but Wan Chuncao did not let the sunlight shine on Xu Muyu at all. She blocked all the hot sunlight for him.

She didn't wear colorful clothes like usual. Today she wore jeans and a white T-shirt. The T-shirt was tucked into the jeans to show off her nice waist.

Just like she said, her waist is really thin.

The waist is thin, but the back is not narrow. It stands very straight, like a pine tree, tenacious even if it would break.

Even though her back was soaked with sweat, she still stood very straight and upright. Even though her palms were sweaty, she did not move at all.

The two of them held hands together. Even if their fingers were not tightly clasped, Xu Muyu could still feel the sweat in her palms, and the heat on their fingers that were held together. It was sticky and wet, and not comfortable.

She was also very hot. Xu Muyu didn't know what she was insisting on and why she insisted on holding his hand even though it was so hot.

He moved, and the grip tightened.

He wanted to say something to her, but when he saw her back and felt the low pressure she released, he didn't know what to say.

And it seemed that even if he said anything, she wouldn't listen.

I'm afraid he will be given a good beating.

Clean up a meal?

Xu Muyu stopped his thoughts in time. Why did he have such an idea? What kind of close relationship did they have that would make her punish him?

They stood in the sun for almost five minutes. Wan Chuncao did not take out her phone to order a new car, nor did she take Xu Muyu back to the house. Instead, she stood there until a car came into their sight.

The driver went and came back, and as soon as he came back he asked them to get in the car, and he was ready.

Xu Muyu was a little surprised to see the approaching car, but Wan Chuncao opened the door again.

After the driver parked the car, he came out to help Wan Chuncao put Xu Muyu in the car.

Wan Chuncao was able to get Xu Muyu into the car by herself. The driver had no right to intervene and just went to the back to put the wheelchair in the trunk.

The driver took out a bundle of ropes from the trunk and said to Wan Chuncao and the others, "It would have been better if you had made it clear when you placed the order. If you had mentioned that you also had a wheelchair, I could have brought the ropes on the way here, so I wouldn't have to go back and waste your time."

Wan Chuncao put Xu Muyu in the car and went with the driver to tie the wheelchair. She said, "We are not in a hurry."

The driver apologized to Wan Chuncao in embarrassment: "My car is too small. I see that your wheelchair cannot be folded. I am afraid that it cannot fit in my back seat and the trunk cannot be closed. So I quickly turned around and borrowed a strap from my fellow villager who runs a grocery store. Fix the wheelchair so that it will not fall off when it encounters bumps on the road."

"I thought the wheelchair could fit in everything, but I never thought it would take up so much space."

Having the driver make a special trip, Wan Chuncao also became polite: "Just tie it up, it's broken anyway, it won't last for a few days."

The driver said, "Even if it takes just a minute, it will still be used, so you have to put it away properly, otherwise how will your brother walk?"

The two returned to the car together. Wan Chuncao sat in the back seat with Xu Muyu before saying, "He is my husband."

The driver fastened his seat belt as soon as he got in the car. When he saw the two of them sitting together and accidentally glanced at Xu Muyu's neck, he realized that they were brother and sister. "Since you are so young, I thought you were brother and sister."

As soon as the driver spoke, Xu Muyu raised his head and happened to meet the driver's eyes in the rearview mirror.

He saw the driver glance at his neck and then quickly look away, as if he saw something he shouldn't have seen.

Before he could wonder, Wan Chuncao beside him spoke. She leaned very close to him and said to the driver, "It would be nice if you could speak as nicely as you did just now."

This is blaming the driver for saying Xu Muyu is "disabled" just now.

Xu Muyu finally understood why Wan Chuncao insisted on waiting instead of turning around and leaving. It was because she knew that the driver would come back, and she also realized that the driver was not a bad person, he was just too straightforward and not good at talking.

He turned his head to look at Wan Chuncao, but Wan Chuncao didn't see him and just moved closer to him.

The driver was a rough man, a middle-aged man, who had lost his attentiveness. Moreover, he had a disabled person at home. He laughed awkwardly and said, "I've been complained by passengers several times. I used to be honest, but now it's hot and I can't talk anymore. My daughter always tells me to respect the disabled people."

Xu Muyu raised his eyes again.

Guan Chuncao squeezed half of her body onto Xu Muyu, and the two of them leaned close to each other. She also raised her eyes and asked the driver: "Does anyone in your family have a leg problem?"

"It's even more inconvenient than yours. I had to amputate one limb."

The driver was sad but relieved: "She is sick. She has to give up her legs to save her life. The child has been disabled for almost five years and only recently got a prosthesis. But she is still very optimistic. After getting the leg, she said she is no different from a normal person and can still run."

Wan Chuncao also smiled and said, "It will be fine if the child can just let it go."

Xu Muyu understood the hint and he withdrew his gaze.

"She cried for two years, and her eyes were almost blind. But there is nothing more important than life. She remembers that her parents loved her, and for our sake she can't let it go."

The driver felt sorry for his children and asked them, "Where's your husband? What happened?"
