The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator
Chapter 29 Ancient Fantasy 25
Seeing this, Su Yuanyuan understood.
She noticed that Ruoshui's expression was somewhat somber, and a sense of indescribable melancholy welled up within her.
"So what do you plan to do? Just keep dragging it out?" She looked at Lin Zhixing.
“How could that be? I’ve decided to go back and have a proper talk with my family. If they still don’t agree, I’ll come back and stay here instead.”
Lin Zhixing forced a smile, his eyes filled with determination.
Su Yuanyuan felt very uncomfortable watching this, but she didn't know how to comfort them, and for a moment, none of the three of them spoke.
A few days later, Lin Zhixing indeed returned home. She didn't tell them when she left; she had to ask the waiter at Shidinglou Restaurant.
Su Yuanyuan complained a couple of times, handed the shop over to her parents, and started frequently looking for Ruoshui, often taking him out to play.
This gave him less time to overthink, and Ruoshui, knowing her intentions, cooperated with her.
That day, she took Ruoshui to the mountain to admire the flowers. The two chatted and laughed along the way.
Halfway there, they suddenly heard the sound of gongs, drums, and suonas. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a wedding procession slowly approaching.
A red sedan chair was carried in the middle of the procession, surrounded by red silk ribbons and red lanterns, creating a festive atmosphere.
Su Yuanyuan looked at the procession curiously, "Whose bride is this? She looks like she's going to marry far away!"
They parked the carriage by the roadside to let the wedding procession pass first.
As the sedan chair slowly passed by, Su Yuanyuan glimpsed through the gap in the curtain that the woman sitting inside seemed to be Xu Yingxue.
She couldn't help but wonder, "Huh?"
Hearing the sound she made, Ruoshui turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Yuanyuan shook her head and replied, "It's nothing, I just think this bride looks a little familiar."
Perhaps I'm seeing things and mistaking her for someone else. After all, Xu Yingxue has been missing for a long time, so how could she be here?
Only after the wedding procession had gradually disappeared into the distance did they resume their journey.
However, once they reached the foot of the mountain, the carriage could no longer proceed upwards.
Left with no other choice, the group had to continue on foot up the mountain.
Su Yuanyuan couldn't walk any further after climbing halfway up the mountain; this was the amount of exercise she had done in several days.
She sat on a roadside stone, gently wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and glanced up at the distant mountaintop.
She no longer wanted to admire the flowers; she wanted to go home.
After resting for a while, she stood up and had to keep climbing. It was her idea, so she had to climb up no matter what.
Sitting on the mountaintop, Su Yuanyuan was panting heavily, feeling that the trip had been worthwhile.
The mountaintop is covered with dense bamboo forests, lush and green, and a gentle breeze makes the bamboo rustling.
The air was filled with the fragrance of lilacs, and clusters of lilacs bloomed profusely in the distance, with countless purple stamens scattered on the grass.
"This place is so beautiful!" Su Yuanyuan couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yes!"
Ruoshui's gaze was fixed on the falling bamboo leaves, a contented expression on her face.
Are you waiting for him?
"Wait!"
Su Yuanyuan chuckled softly; she knew it.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.
Another bookstore opened in town, and Su Yuanyuan's bookstore was still the most popular, not only because it was cheap, but also because her pastries were unmatched elsewhere.
Lin Zhixing also returned a year ago, but his family did not agree and even locked him up.
He returned in a sorry state, like a refugee who had trekked through mountains and rivers, being chased all the way back to town by his family.
It caused quite a stir at the time. Lin Zhixing's father called him from outside the town and said that if he stepped into the town, he would be expelled from the Lin family and would no longer be a member of the Lin family.
Lin Zhixing entered the town without hesitation. His father, outside, was furious, his face turning red. Finally, he turned and left with his men.
Lin Zhixing was depressed for a while, and Ruoshui stayed with him the whole time.
Now that the two of them have moved out and are living on their own, Uncle Zhou and Ruoshui's two older brothers have become much nicer to Lin Zhixing, and often invite them to come back for meals.
Su Yuanyuan always felt that they were treating Ruoshui as a girl who was about to get married.
The house Lin Zhixing bought was very close to her home, just across the street.
Even in town, Su Yuanyuan couldn't escape becoming the subject of gossip.
Now, you can hear people whispering about her in bookstores, and people point and talk about her when she walks down the street.
Su Yuanyuan felt that if she hadn't been so resilient, she would have gone crazy.
In the past two years, she has bought two more shops, all of which she rents out, earning fifty taels of rent each month.
Su Yuanyuan quietly prepared everything for her parents, knowing she might not be able to stay with them until they grew old.
These past two years have caused her parents to be gossiped about as well, so she decided to go back.
That night, while her parents were asleep, Su Yuanyuan sorted out the money she had earned and put it all on the table.
After taking one last look at the house, Su Yuanyuan entered the space and returned to her small room.
She sat on the sofa in a daze, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
"Hey!"
She returned in the middle of the night. Su Yuanyuan dragged her slow steps back to the bedroom and wrapped herself up tightly.
I closed my eyes in the dark and it took me a long time to fall asleep.
Su Yuanyuan slept until noon before opening her eyes. She lay in bed for a while, lost in thought, before getting up to cook herself some noodles.
"mother……"
She took one bite and found it tasteless, then looked up and asked her mother to cook meat for her that evening.
Suddenly remembering that she had returned, Su Yuanyuan's expression froze for a moment, and she lowered her head to silently finish her noodles.
Su Yuanyuan stayed at home for more than a week until she ran out of food before going out to buy supplies.
Looking at the sun overhead, Su Yuanyuan had a surreal feeling, and the noise around her made her feel that she was still alive.
"Looks like I need to save up money to terminate the contract quickly, or I'll go crazy sooner or later if I keep going like this."
After returning home from shopping, Su Yuanyuan tidied up her space, making sure not to bring back anything valuable this time.
To create the illusion of leaving home, she brought some clothes and jewelry with her, all of which were ordinary clothes and not worth much money.
Next time, don't stay so long. Come back as soon as you've finished collecting the data.
Su Yuanyuan took out her phone and booked a train ticket home; she wanted to go back and see her parents.
The next morning, Su Yuanyuan boarded the high-speed train home without taking anything with her.
As soon as Su Yuanyuan entered the residential area, she was stopped by Grandma Liu from next door.
"Is this Yuanyuan?"
"Grandma Liu, it's me."
Su Yuanyuan gave a sweet smile and walked to Grandma Liu's side.
"Hey! You haven't been back in ages! Going on vacation?"
Grandma Liu took her hand and looked her over with a kind expression.
"Grandma Liu, I'm currently doing an internship, and I took a few days off to come back and visit my parents."
"Good, good, you're a filial child."
"Grandma Liu, are you going out?"
Su Yuanyuan looked at the stroller next to Grandma Liu.
"I'm going to buy some groceries and visit my son. You should go back soon too; your parents will be very happy to see you."
Grandma Liu smiled so much that the wrinkles around her eyes deepened; it was clear she was very happy to see her son.
"Okay, then take care, I'll be going now."
"go Go."
