After Marrying the Sick and Weak Son, I Turned Around (I Turned Over A New Leaf After Marrying A Sickly Lord) - Chapter 360

  Chapter 360 Extra: Ripples and Calm

   After waiting for a while, there was no reply. Shen Juncheng looked back and saw that she had closed her eyes and was breathing for a long time.

   Staring at her sleeping face, he pulled back his hand and helped her cover the quilt…

   The next day.

  The light of the morning sun dappled mottled through the grapes on the window, and the breeze shuttled through the gap, blowing the bed tent gently.

   Su Anan woke up leisurely, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, lying on the bed without getting up.

  Last night, she had a dream. The dream was full of flowers, birdsong, and the cheerful and free flute, all the while lingering in her ears…

   She turned her head to look at the empty window, slightly dazed.

   Although she was drunk last night, she was not completely unconscious, she knew that person was coming.

   Scattered fragments jumped into my mind, and the picture finally settled on the scene where he was sitting on the edge of the bed, his back was tall and straight, and he let himself be pulled.

  Su Anan moved his hands, as if the residual warmth was still there. The man’s palm was broad and slightly cool, but it was strangely reassuring, as if it could hold up the sky and block the wind and rain…

   She curled her fingers, stood up suddenly, walked to the mirror of the makeup bun, and picked up the white jade medicine bottle.

  The color of this medicine bottle is pure, without any pattern, just like the man, dressed in black, without any decoration, only those eyes are clear, as if they can see people’s hearts.

   Su Anan stared blankly at the medicine bottle for a while, then sighed deeply.

  The arrival of that person was like a small pebble fell on the lake in her heart, causing fine ripples, and after the ripples, there was a dead silence again.

   An ugly monster with a completely ruined appearance, no longer qualified to talk about love…

   This time, she put the white jade medicine bottle in the deepest part of the makeup box, in a place where she can no longer see it at a glance.

   got up to wash, and then went to tidy up the room. Yaoniang was still in a drowsiness, and Su Anan woke her up and put her on the bed.

   After tidying up the house and having lunch, Yaoniang was still asleep, and Su Anan didn’t make a sound to disturb her, because Yaoniang always sleeps during the day.

   She took out the embroidery stretcher by herself, hesitated for a while, and embroidered a small daisy with Gu embroidery taught by Yaoniang.

   When Yaoniang woke up, it was already Shen Shi. She looked at An An sitting by the window embroidering, yawned and said casually, “What are you embroidering?”

   When Su Anan saw that she was awake, she put down the embroidery bandage and said, “It’s nothing, just embroider it casually to pass the time.”

   Yaoniang glanced at it, it was a daisy, and the entire white face was just this daisy.

   Yaoniang withdrew her gaze, took Su An’an’s hand and said coquettishly, “I’m hungry.”

  Su Anan smiled and said, “I have prepared all the dishes you like, and they are all simmering on the stove, just waiting for you to wake up.”

   She turned around and went to the kitchen to get it. After she left, Yaoniang picked up the embroidered stretch and glanced at it.

  Daisy, does An An also miss someone?

  The two of them had a meal together, chatted after the meal, and when it was time for the embroidery work, Yaoniang had to go to the front building.

   Remembering that she was in a bad mood last night, Su Anan said a lot of encouraging words today, which made her feel hopeful for the future.

   Yaoniang smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m strong, just wait for me to come back.”

   Seeing her smile freely and easy, Su Anan’s heart also calmed down and watched her go away.

  After Yaoniang left, the house became quiet, and the quietness sometimes made people feel empty, and there was nowhere to put the emptiness.

   Su Anan sighed, sat down again, picked up the embroidery stretcher and continued to embroider.

  The sunset went down, the moon climbed up, the night was dark, and the Qingyu Building, which was quiet during the day, gradually became noisy.

  The silk and bamboo string music in the front yard floated faintly to the back alley. Su Anan was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and finally got up and opened the window to let in the air.

  Xiaozhu is a two-story building. They live upstairs and can see the back alley from top to bottom.

   Remembering that it should be Mrs. Song tonight, Su An settled down, changed her clothes, put on a thin cape, and went to the back alley.

   As soon as she arrived at her former residence, suddenly a lingering flute sound came over.

The tone of    is sad and tactful, but it seems to have a hint of lightness, like the flute sound in her dream last night.

   Su Anan immediately raised her skirt to look for the source of the sound.

  Under the plane tree, I was caught off guard and saw the figure of that man…

   He was still dressed in black, with his back against the tree, his posture was casual, and he held a pure white jade flute in his hand.

   Hearing the movement, he stopped playing, and turned his two fingers, and the jade flute was easily folded to his waist, and the movement was fluent and beautiful.

   He looked back and gave her a light look.

Su An’an’s eyes fell on his eyes in an instant, and she stared blankly for a long time, until he came over and was a step away from her, she was shocked to lose her temper, retracted her eyes, and whispered: “Can you tell me? What is the name of my song?”

   This song, she likes to listen to it very much.

  Shen Juncheng paused slightly and said, “Boring.”

   Su Anan thought he said he was boring, so he apologized, “I’m sorry.”

  Shen Juncheng frowned, “It’s not that you are boring, it’s the title of this song that is called boring.”

“Um?”

   It was the first time I heard the title of a song so casually.

  Shen Juncheng explained: “Because I did it when I was bored, I named it boring.”

   Su Anan was surprised, “Did you make it yourself?”

“Um.”

   “It sounds good,” she boasted.

  Shen Juncheng seemed to have a very shallow smile.

   Su Anan was stunned. It seemed that this was the first time he saw him smile. This person always looked cold, but when he smiled, it was very warm.

   The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the faint silver brilliance sprinkled on this person, making his figure more hazy, looking so out of reach.

  Su Anan took a step back subconsciously, pulled away, lowered his eyelashes and asked, “Why are you here?”

  Shen Juncheng said bluntly: “I came to see you, I have something to tell you by the way.”

   Su Anan’s heart was inexplicably looking forward to it, is he going to save himself away?

  If he can save himself, can he ask her to make one more request to bring Yaoniang with him?

   Later, she can be a slave and a maid to repay.

   She raised her head and looked at him regularly.

  Shen Juncheng said: “When I came last night, you were drunk and didn’t say anything. Today, I want to tell you that I have…”

  咻! A bunch of red fireworks flashed across the dark night, fleetingly.

  Shen Juncheng’s words were interrupted, his face suddenly became serious, looking at the direction where the fireworks disappeared, he hurriedly threw a sentence, “Sorry, wait until I get back!”

   Before Su Anan could react, his figure disappeared into the night.

  Su Anan turned his head, looked at the direction he was leaving, and guessed if the red fireworks were some kind of signal or something that made him leave so nervously?

   She actually felt a little bit of worry and a little bit of excitement, because he said, “Wait for me to come back.”

  Su Anan stood alone for a long time, until the end of Zi Shi, before he returned, he turned around and went back.

  Since he has found it, it proves that this person has not forgotten to save herself, so she just needs to wait patiently.

   Life suddenly seemed to have hope, and Su Anan’s mood slowly improved.

   Even Yaoniang noticed it, and occasionally joked, “Have you been in a good mood recently?”

  Su Anan smiled but took out the medicine bottle from the depths of the box and put it next to the mirror, where it can be seen at a glance.

  Time flies, three or four months have passed in a blink of an eye, the midsummer withers and the autumn is lonely.

  Su Anan looked at the yellow leaves in the back alley, and the sense of anticipation gradually submerged.

   That person, did you forget it again?

   She was a little depressed, even though she was still smiling, Yaoniang still caught it.

   Yaoniang mistakenly thought that she missed her relatives again, so she comforted her a few words.

   Su Anan smiled and shook her head, not to worry Yaoniang.

   Yaoniang clapped her hand and said, “Tonight that Li Guanren is a frightened person, and he probably won’t stay overnight. I’ll come back to accompany you early.”

   If some benefactors don’t stay overnight, Yaoniang can come back earlier. If they stay overnight, only Su Anan will stay in this small building.

  Su Anan replied yes, and went to help Yaoniang get the clothes to change. Yaoniang never let her dress for service, so she went to the inner room and changed into a low-cut red dress.

   Every move, the style does not shake.

She usually told Su Anan to close the doors and windows when she slept alone. When she turned her head, she saw Anan staring at her back shoulder. She hurriedly gathered her clothes, covered it with her hair, and said, “I’m leaving. Go back and rest.”

   Su An’an’s heart suddenly ached. Yaoniang was wearing a skirt with smoke and sand today, which was slightly transparent, so she saw the blue and purple marks on Yaoniang’s back.

   That was obviously abused.

   No wonder Yaoniang never let her help with changing clothes.

   She grabbed Yaoniang impulsively and asked, “How can I redeem myself for you?”

   She really didn’t want Yaoniang to pick up customers again, and she didn’t want to watch Yaoniang go to the fire pit in front of her every day.

   Yaoniang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “I want money, enough money, I can redeem myself if I have more money.”

  Su Anan pursed her lips and lowered her hand weakly. She had nothing and couldn’t help Yaoniang even if she asked…

   She is useless.

   Yaoniang touched her head, “Don’t worry, I’m fine, that’s just fun, oh, you’re not in the workforce, I don’t understand, it doesn’t hurt, really, I don’t feel any pain at all.”

   The more she explained, the more distressed Su Anan felt, and suddenly hugged her and started crying.

   Yaoniang sighed, like the eldest sister patted her on the back, “Don’t worry, I’m saving money, I’ll be saving enough soon, shall we go together then?”

   Su Anan hummed, wiped her tears, and said firmly: “We will definitely go out!”

  ~~

   After another month, winter has come, and she still hasn’t waited for that person.

   On the contrary, it was Yao Niang. Recently, she met a perverted guest and was tortured in bed for half a month. The whole person lost weight in a visible trend.

   Su Anan took good care of her every day, and then she gradually regained her original complexion.

   She often thinks, when is the boss, and how much does it cost to let Yaoniang leave this fire pit?

  Finally, she didn’t wait for him anymore, she wanted to go out on her own.

   It was a drizzly night, she was wrapped in a cloak and stood at the door of Xiaozhu, looking at Yaoniang reluctantly.

   Yaoniang leaned against the door frame, smiling in a variety of ways, “Let’s go, An An, there must be someone who is free, go and see the outside world for me.”

  Su Anan stepped forward, took her hand and assured: “Don’t worry, I will definitely come back to redeem you, you believe me, I will have money when I go home, and I will definitely save you.”

   Mother left her a lot of dowry, if she sells all of them, she will definitely redeem Yaoniang to go out.
