Fu Huai’an picked up another orange, peeled it, and handed it to Aunt Blessing.
“Yes, I heard from my Aunt. Huai’an was scratched by a cat when he was a child, so he doesn’t like cats!” Uncle Blessing smiled and took a sip of tea. Lin Nuan nodded as she looked down.
Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an stayed at Aunt Blessing’s house all afternoon, until after five o’clock. It was then that Fu Huai’an said they had to leave.
Aunt Blessing tried to keep Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan there for dinner, but Uncle Blessing stopped his wife. “The couple needs some alone time!”
Although he was old, Uncle Blessing was very open-minded and knew about the romance of young people. Which young couple didn’t want to go out for dinner or a movie?
Aunt Blessing realized that. She stretched out her hand and patted her own head. She walked Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an to the car at the entrance of the lane. Fu Huai’an then took out the gifts to them from the trunk.
“You child! Didn’t we tell you that there’s no need to buy anything for us when you come back here?” Uncle Blessing scolded Fu Huai’an.
“I was afraid you would say that, so I didn’t dare bring them out until now.” Fu Huai’an smiled and put the gifts in front of Aunt Blessing and Uncle Blessing.
After a lengthy rebuke, Aunt Blessing said again, “When you come back next time, will you stay for a couple of days? I have tidied up your room.”
Fu Huai’an held Lin Nuan’s small hand and nodded. “Okay, next time, I will make a special trip and bring Tuan Tuan here.”
“Really? You will bring Tuan Tuan here?” Aunt Blessing’s eyes lit up. “I haven’t met Tuan Tuan yet, I’ve just seen pictures. It would be wonderful if I could see him!”
Fu Huai’an nodded. “Next time, Xiao Nuan and I will bring him here.”
Lin Nuan also smiled and nodded.
After they got in the car, Aunt Blessing and Uncle Blessing were still standing there. Lin Nuan rolled down the window and asked them to go back to the house, but they insisted on seeing them off. Fu Huai’an drove away without any delay.
Until she could no longer see the tail-light of his car, Aunt Blessing watched. She then wiped her tears and said, “It’s so good that Huai’an found a wife who doesn’t mind him having a child. She is also beautiful and skilled in the kitchen. She can take good care of Huai’an and Tuan Tuan!”
“Listen to what you’re saying, are there no housekeepers in his house?” Uncle Blessing smiled and grabbed his wife’s hand. “Besides, Xiao Nuan is younger than Huai’an. Huai’an should take care of Xiao Nuan! The purpose of marrying a girl isn’t to find a nanny. It’s to love her! If you say that, you are eccentric!”
“Yes, yes… you’re right!” Aunt Blessing nodded. She was really eccentric.
She had read things about Lin Nuan on the Internet. She was such a good girl that people cared for her. She should also be more caring towards Lin Nuan. Moreover, Aunt Blessing couldn’t bear children. Over the years, Uncle Blessing had been accompanying her and taking care of her as a little girl. When it concerned Huai’an, how could she expect others to take care of him?
Wiping away her tears, Aunt Blessing bent over to carry things. Uncle Blessing rushed to pick up the gift boxes and laughed. “Let me do it! How can this kind of manual labor be done by a woman?”
Aunt Blessing watched Uncle Blessing bending down to carry things and smiled.
The whole ancient architecture of the Osmanthus Dock was covered by the haze of sunset, which was the same color as the rosy clouds on the horizon.
Jincheng’s congestion was well-known throughout the country. When Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an drove back to the city, the sky was dark. The traffic and neon lights were staggered, colliding with a circle of beautiful color and enveloping the city of Jincheng, an enchanted, golden city.
Lin Nuan grabbed her cell phone and was thinking about how to call Wen Moshen.
This morning in their house, Lin Nuan indulged in the relaxed and warm atmosphere without thinking about it.
But on the way back, Lin Nuan was a little worried when she thought of Wen Moshen’s disease.
Even if Wen Moshen wasn’t the person that she once loved and were just an ordinary friend, in such circumstances, Lin Nuan would call to ask about it—even if it was just to offer a few words of comfort.
The traffic jam cleared up, and Fu Huai’an looked straight ahead into the distance.
“Are you hesitating on whether to call Wen Moshen?” When Fu Huai’an asked, he reached out to open the storage box. When he touched the pack of cigarettes, he pulled his hand back and resisted the urge.
Lin Nuan dropped her eyes and shrunk her small mouth and nose into her scarf. “I was thinking about what to say. It shouldn’t be misunderstood by Wen Moshen, nor should it be ambiguous or heartless…”
Today, what Fu Huai’an said to the female lawyer in the car was absolute—Lin Nuan didn’t want to be deeply involved with Wen Moshen, especially when he was the man she once loved.
Lin Nuan once heard a saying that people were harsh to their wives or husbands, but tolerant towards those who loved them. Lin Nuan thought it was wrong!
Therefore, even if it was said to be hard-hearted, Lin Nuan didn’t want to make Fu Huai’an feel uncomfortable because of Wen Moshen. So Lin Nuan thought that the most appropriate thing was to ask Fu Huai’an.
Fu Huai’an smiled and said, “Just say that my husband and I… wish you a speedy recovery.”
Lin Nuan raised her eyes, smiled, and nodded. “Okay.”
Soon, Lin Nuan dialed the phone.
After it rang for quite some time, Lin Nuan thought that the phone wouldn’t be answered. “Nuan Nuan…” A deep and hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Wen Moshen.
Lin Nuan’s heart tightened slightly. She pulled down her scarf with her little hand. “Brother Moshen, Auntie called me today.”
“Well, I blamed my mother when I learned about it this afternoon. I’m sorry… to have caused you so much trouble! You don’t need to mind what my mother said.” Wen Moshen comforted her in a deep, soft voice with a sad smile.
“Well, I don’t mind.” Lin Nuan looked at the red car lights ahead in the traffic jam. “But I think Auntie was right. You should cooperate with the doctors. All your relatives and friends are concerned about you. They have lost you once. Do you have the heart to let them lose you for a second time?”
On the other end of the phone, there was a long silence.
“Brother Moshen, I don’t know what words I should say to persuade you. I just want to tell you about the people I have met. They all want to live so tenaciously. Even If they just have a slight chance, they will seize it. However, you will let it go in vain when you have such an opportunity.”
Lin Nuan heard a long sigh from Wen Moshen. Then she said, “If you are willing to fight the disease, my husband and I wish you a quick recovery.”
Lin Nuan’s last words were the final blow to Wen Moshen. On the other end of the phone, Wen Moshen hid his face in his hands and wept silently. He didn’t want Lin Nuan to hear him cry.
“If you survive a disaster, you will be blessed. I believe that… as long as you want to, you will live forever! You will meet the girl who you love and who loves you back!”
