Chapter 67: Accompany You Till Eternity

  Summer rain comes swiftly and fiercely, without any warning, leaving people defenseless. Rolling thunder bursts forth with pink lightning, splitting open the dark night.

  The air inside was stifling and oppressive, so humid that it made people feel suffocated.

  Su Jingya was startled awake by a loud thunder, her whole body trembling with fear. She turned her head to look at the beige curtains that were blowing wildly in the strong wind. Through the curtains, she gazed out the window at the torrential rain and became lost in thought for a long time.

  The cold night wind, mixed with scattered raindrops, splashed on her face. Su Jingya frowned and saw the flowers that were placed on the windowsill, which had been blooming beautifully during the day, but now were battered by the storm and cold wind, already wilted. Her heart felt a pang of distress.

  She glanced at the wheelchair not far from the bed, hesitated and finally made up her mind to go close the window.

  With great effort, Su Jingya slowly pulled the wheelchair to the bedside and carefully sat down on the chair. After more than a month of training, she could stand for three to five seconds, which determined whether she could successfully sit in the wheelchair with her own strength.

  For a normal person, moving from the bed to a chair is an easy thing to do, but for Su Jingya, it almost took all her strength.

  Panting and puffing as she wheeled herself along, she quickly moved the potted plants out of the way and closed the window.

  This rainstorm was really scary. In the short few seconds she went to pull the window, her sleeves were already soaked by the heavy rain. With great difficulty, she managed to close one window, and when Su Jingya went to pull another window, she inadvertently glanced at the balcony and found someone standing on it?

  As soon as she took a closer look and saw who the person was, Su Jingya immediately panicked and slid her wheelchair to push open the door on the balcony, shouting loudly: "Yu, what are you doing standing there? It's raining, hurry up and come in!"

  Huangfu Yu stood on the balcony, leaning against the railing at an angle, without saying a word or moving a muscle, just like a wooden puppet without any consciousness.

  "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Su Jingya was startled by Huangfu Yu's unusual behavior and slid her wheelchair to his side, grabbing his hand to pull him back into the room. However, Huangfu Yu's icy voice rang out: "Let go!"

  "Ah——!!" Su Jingya raised her head to look at Huangfu Yu, trying to open her eyes as wide as possible, but the heavy rain pounded against her face, making it impossible for her to keep them open.

  "Come in!" Huangfu's face was expressionless as he gave a low command.

  Su Jingya pulled his hand and suddenly understood why he was caught in the rain, so she raised a bright smile: "If you don't want to go in, I'll accompany you!"

  Huang Pu's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at the woman laughing radiantly in the heavy rain. His eyebrows furrowed involuntarily: "Su Jingya, sometimes you're too self-indulgent and it's really annoying!"

  After finishing speaking, Huangfu Yu had already shaken off her hand and strode into the room.

  Su Jingya stared blankly at his back, her heart filled with a bitter or painful feeling. After lingering for a while, she slid back to the room in her wheelchair and saw him sitting on the sofa without even changing his clothes, his face inscrutable.

  She bit her lip and finally approached again after a long time, fearless of death.

  "...First change out of your wet clothes and then dry your hair!" Su Jingya handed a clean towel to Huangfu Yu.

  Huang Pu stared at her, not meaning to wipe the sweat, and after a long time he said coldly: "Su Jingya, my affairs don't need you to worry about. First take care of yourself, then consider whether you have the ability to manage others' affairs!"

  He spoke and Huangfu Yulang coldly glanced at her, stood up and strode back to the rest room.

  Su Jingya shouted loudly at his back, "I know! But when it comes to you, I can't ignore it or pretend I didn't see or hear anything. I just want you to know that in this world, there's not only you alone. No matter what happens, no matter if you'll fall in love with me or not, no matter if we'll end up together or not, I'll always be by your side. I, Su Jingya, even if I betray the entire world, will absolutely never betray you Huangfu Yu! Do you understand? I'll keep accompanying you, forever and ever, until... either you die or I perish!"

  Everyone only sees the strong, cold, dazzling and unapproachable side of Huangfu Yu, but no one knows what kind of painful and dark past is hidden behind his brilliant and radiant side.

  She knew that when he was young, he had witnessed his parents die in front of him, the raging fire brutally painting the entire sky red, and no matter how heavy the rain was, it couldn't be extinguished. She knew that from then on, every stormy night was a nightmare he didn't want to face, wanted to forget, and desperately tried to shake off.

  He only knew that when he was a child, she would often wake up from her sleep and cry out for dad and mom, but what he didn't know was that she also often comforted him in the middle of the night when he had nightmares but couldn't wake up, calling out his name again and again by his ear.

  In fact, to a certain extent, she and Huangfu Yu are the same type of people. The intimacy of childhood was just the mutual pity and attraction between "people of the same class". They comforted each other, hugged each other, warmed each other, relied on each other, found companionship, and no longer let themselves live in loneliness, pitifully and miserably...

  Huang Pu heard Su Jingya's roar, especially the last sentence "Always always, always always accompany, until... either you die or I perish", his heart moved, he slightly turned away from his angular profile, and scolded in a low voice: "Su Jingya, you really don't know shame, can't you be more reserved? You confess to me every other day, my ears are about to grow calluses!"

  Su Jingya thought that Huangfu Yu would either be particularly moved, or coldly scold her, or not take it to heart at all, but unexpectedly...

  Her little face was burning with anger, she pouted her small mouth and muttered somewhat resentfully: "If you don't like it, then I won't say it in the future!"

  In fact, confessing is also very embarrassing and shameful for her, isn't it?

  Who made him ungrateful, and yet he doesn't even like him.

  What's more important is that she likes him, if she doesn't take the initiative, should she wait for him to make a move?!

  Huang Pu heard her muttering, gave her a cold glance, but in the instant he turned his head back, even he himself didn't notice that the corner of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

  Su Jingya felt very annoyed and depressed, and naturally also very embarrassed.

  Her whole body was drenched, she changed into clean clothes, but... the pants were a different story!!!

  She changed her clothes and stared blankly at the pants in her hands, desperately trying to think of a way to change out of her wet pants, but no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't make any progress.

  Huang Pu came out of the rest room after washing a hot bath, and happened to see Su Jingya holding her pants with a puzzled face. He raised an eyebrow and teased: "Su Jingya, what are you staring at with your pants in the middle of the night? Are there flowers on your pants or are you sleepwalking now?"

  "What?" Huang Fu Yu suddenly spoke out, startling Su Jingya so much that she jumped up, holding her pants and staring at him in confusion, not knowing what to say, only stuttering "I... I..." for half a day without making any sense.

  It's very late now, and the caregivers have all gone to rest. Yuni is not here either. Normally, it was the caregivers and Yuni who helped her with daily life...

  Huangfu Yu poured himself a cup of water and drank it slowly, looking at the woman who couldn't say a word at this moment, he couldn't help but sneer.

  When confessing to him, wasn't he very eloquent and talkative? Now he can't even explain a sentence, what's going on?

  Is the brain congenitally deficient and then deformed later in life?

  He raised an eyebrow, and Huangfu Yu said in a low voice: "Su Jingya, sometimes I really don't know what you're thinking about. Your interests are really special, so special that they're almost weird. If you like holding them, then hold them. Tomorrow, I'll send someone to buy you a few hundred pairs, and let you hold different pants every day!"

  After the strike, Huangfu Yu's mood was pleasant. She drank water while walking towards her rest area. He didn't have that kind of hobby. This person still needs to rest well in order to have energy and spirit for work.

  Su Jingya listened to Huangfu Yu's words, feeling wronged and on the verge of tears. She pouted her small mouth in dissatisfaction, saying: "It's all because of you, if I hadn't gotten my clothes wet, how would I be worrying about changing pants now..."

  "Whoa——!!"

  Huang Pu spat out a mouthful of water, standing in stunned silence for a moment before turning around with a wooden expression, his face deep and inscrutable as he stared at the woman who seemed to have been frightened by his overreaction.

  After a long while, he walked over with a dark face, grabbed her pants and said in a low voice: "I told you that you are a stupid fool! I'm inside, you can't change your pants, don't you know to call me?" Otherwise, what did she think of him living in the hospital? Did he like the environment of the hospital or the smell of the hospital?

  "But... I, that..." Su Jingya's brain obviously hadn't recovered yet. He was a man and she was a woman, how could she possibly let him help her change her pants? Moreover, they weren't very familiar with each other, so how could she be at ease?

  For her coquettishness, Huangfu Yu seemed somewhat impatient, wanting to let her take off her pants herself, but found that she didn't have the ability, so he bent down and picked her up from the wheelchair, turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to take off her pants.

  Su Jingya let out a loud cry, immediately raised her hand to press down on his hand, and said with a terrified look: "It's okay, don't bother! When the caregiver is on duty, I'll have the caregiver change it!"

  Huang Pu closed his eyes, clearly seeing her pale little face, a bit red, and then becoming completely red, so shy that even the roots of her ears couldn't escape. So, he nodded, just as Su Jingya thought he had agreed, secretly letting out a sigh of relief, Huang Pu suddenly grabbed her pants and pulled them down with force...
