Chapter 8: A Dream Within Reach 02
Wen Shu took the pressure of public opinion and finished "Broken Wings" as quickly as possible. When she finished the last chapter, she originally wrote a long paragraph to thank all those who supported her, but she deleted it all at the last minute, leaving only a few words: Thank you, goodbye.
The police also found out that the person who sent her the threatening letter was actually one of her readers. Because he was dissatisfied with the content of "Broken Wings" and was also afraid that she would stop writing girls' comics, he joined other readers who had the same objections to come up with this method to scare her. Some of them usually like to read suspense novels online, and they actually learned the methods in the novels to hide their IP addresses , making it difficult for the police to start any action for a while.
Wen Shu was shocked and asked hurriedly how the police handled these readers. The police replied that these readers were generally young, so their parents were contacted and given some ideological education. Now they have realized their mistakes, and Wen Shu was relieved.
For the children, who are also her readers, Wen Shu could never be too harsh on them.
After that, Wen Shu received more apology letters from readers. After reading them carefully, she replied one by one, and the matter was settled.
After logging out of Weibo, she was staring blankly at her phone. Suddenly, she remembered that Yu Qianlin hadn't called her for two days, so she took the initiative to call him. However, she got a busy tone after several attempts. She had no choice but to call Zhou Qi. She had saved Zhou Qi's phone number last time, just in case.
"Brother Zhou, hello, I'm Wen Shu. I want to ask where Yu Qianlin is now? I called him but the tone was always busy."
"Didn't he tell you?" Zhou Qi was surprised, "He went to find his parents."
"Is that so... Then please tell me the address."
"Okay, take your notes..."
Wen Shu checked the address and found it was a small village not far from Ancheng. She thought about it and decided to go find him.
It took Wen Shu most of the day to reach her destination. As soon as she landed, she took out her cell phone and called Yu Qianlin, but the tone was still busy. She couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Wen Shu stopped a passerby to ask about her. The passerby knew she was from another place when he saw her dress, so he asked, "Isn't the person you are talking about a big guy with a fair complexion, and a bit scary when he doesn't speak?"
Wen Shu nodded quickly: "It's him! Where have you seen him?"
The passerby pointed and said, "Go up from here. If you see the cemetery, turn right and walk a few dozen meters, you will probably see him."
"Graveyard?" Didn't Yu Qianlin come here to look for his parents? Could it be...
"That's right! It seems that the boy was lost by the Zhang family in our village. But the Zhang family had a son when they were old. The couple was heartbroken and physically hurt after losing their son. They also spent many years looking for the child, and their bodies were worn out . They passed away one after another in the past few years. It's a pity!"
“Thank you, Auntie!”
"Go and comfort him. I think he is very sad . He is a filial child." The passerby waved to Wen Shu and walked away with a sigh.
Wen Shu sent the passers-by away and immediately walked in the direction she pointed. About thirty or forty minutes later, she finally saw Yu Qianlin kneeling in front of the grave with a lonely figure.
She approached him.
The brilliance in his eyes was replaced by loneliness, and green stubble grew around his lips. She followed his example and knelt in front of the grave, without saying a word, just quietly accompanying him.
After a long while, Yu Qianlin turned to look at her: "Why are you here?"
Wen Shu smiled softly at him: "I came here because I missed you." Then she turned around and bowed respectfully to the grave several times, "Hello, uncle and aunt, I am Yu Qianlin's girlfriend, my name is Wen Shu. I am sorry that I found you only now, and thank you for giving me Yu Qianlin. I will take good care of him and accompany him in the future."
"Wen Shu you..."
Yu Qianlin didn't know what to say. When he learned that his parents were no longer alive, he only hated himself for not finding them when they were still alive.
Wen Shu smiled at him again, then took his large hand in his own and said, "You can cry if you want to."
Yu Qianlin laughed, and the next second he actually cried. Wen Shu hugged him instead, resting his head on his neck, letting his tears flow down his skin into his heart.
Everyone is given the right to cry when they are born, but after years of suffering, people have become accustomed to swallowing their tears, as if this will make them appear stronger. However, this often only makes them feel more uncomfortable when the next suffering comes.
Wen Shu gently patted Yu Qianlin's back, listened to him talk about his longing for his parents, and endured the pain in his heart, saying: "I will accompany you every year in the future."
"Yeah, okay."
"Can you come down with me now ? It looks like it's going to rain soon."
"Okay." Yu Qianlin pulled out of Wen Shu's arms, his eyes and nose reddened, and he felt a little embarrassed. Wen Shu pretended not to see it and pulled him up from the ground.
It rains a lot in the south. As if to prove Wen Shu's words, a few minutes later, a biting winter rain began to fall from the sky. Yu Qianlin held Wen Shu tightly and said, "Run!"
The rain fell quickly and heavily, and the sky was covered by dark clouds.
Yu Qianlin wanted to find a place to hide, but there was nothing but wilderness and woods here, and there was no place to hide on a rainy day. Wen Shu had just recovered from a serious illness, so he had to go downstairs and change into clean clothes.
There was already mud under his feet. Yu Qianlin hugged Wenshu tightly with one hand and held his coat above his and Wenshu's heads with the other hand, just to walk as fast as possible.
When they came to a small path that they had to pass through, they had to separate and pass through individually. Yu Qianlin walked in front holding Wen Shu's hand, and the two walked more carefully.
Although the weather was cold, the tightly held hands were warm. Wen Shu looked at the solemnity and worry in Yu Qianlin's eyes and almost forgot to look at the road, as if as long as he followed him, he would arrive safely.
Seeing that the path was about to end and the main road was below, Wen Shu was happy, but suddenly he saw a big branch above Yu Qianlin's head. For some reason, only a piece of bark was left attached to the branch, and it was about to fall down.
She lunged forward and pushed Yu Qianlin, and the big branch hit her directly. Yu Qianlin was unable to stop in time and rushed directly onto the road.
He quickly turned around to check on Wen Shu, who was pinned by a large branch, her face covered in mud, struggling to get out. He rushed over, flipped over the branch, carefully picked Wen Shu up, and wiped the mud off her face with his sleeve, fearing to touch her wound.
Wen Shu smiled warmly: "It's okay, the branch just looks scary."
"Wen Shu, are you a fool?" Yu Qianlin felt extremely distressed when he saw her heartless look.
He actually watched her get hurt!
"I'm fine. I promised your parents that I would take good care of you. I can't break my promise."
"Hey, what happened to the little girl?" Yu Qianlin wanted to say something, but she heard a stranger's voice. It turned out to be the passerby auntie who had stopped Wen Shu before. Seeing that it was raining, she was worried about the two children, so she came to look for them, but she didn't expect to see them in such a miserable state.
Wen Shu called softly: "Auntie, I'm fine."
"Come on, come on, come to my house. My daughter is studying medicine and can check if you are injured!"
"Need not……"
"Then please lead the way, Auntie." Yu Qianlin interrupted Wen Shu's refusal. He was extremely anxious and just wanted to let people see how badly Wen Shu was injured!
Aunt's house.
Yu Qianlin had been waiting at the door. No matter how his aunt persuaded him to change his clothes, he wouldn't listen, so they had no choice but to let him go.
About ten minutes later, the aunt's daughter came out and said, "She's fine, she just looks scary. The most troublesome thing is her sprained foot. I have changed her clothes." Then she frowned and looked at him, "Change your clothes before going in to see her. Don't bring your cold air in!" After saying that, she turned and left.
The aunt smiled sheepishly: "I'm sorry, my daughter is very straightforward and she's a doctor, she can't stand others ruining their bodies." She pointed to the clothes that had been prepared long ago, "Here, go change quickly."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Yu Qianlin changed his clothes and went in to look at Wen Shu. Looking at the several bright red scars on Wen Shu's fair face, his heart ached dully.
He slowly put her hand into his and kissed it gently.
"I'm fine." Wen Shu comforted him with a smile.
Yu Qianlin touched her face: "Does it hurt?"
Wen Shu shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."
"You are indeed a fool."
"You are stupid!"
After saying this, the two of them smiled at each other, as if the rain had stopped and the wind had stopped.
When the rain stopped, Yu Qianlin said goodbye to the kind aunt and her family, and took Wen Shu straight to the city hospital. He would not feel at ease until the patient had been examined with professional instruments.
Wen Shu knew that he wanted to be at ease, so he agreed to his wishes. Fortunately, there was nothing serious. After resting here for a night, the two returned to Xuancheng.
When handing the review book to Lu Sining , Yu Qianlin lowered his head and kept saying sorry. In the end, it was only after the review book deliberately put on a stern face that he felt better.
When leaving, Yu Qianlin was obviously worried. Only after Wen Shu repeatedly assured him that he would seek medical treatment on time did he leave reluctantly.
