On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter
Chapter Summary
Su Chengfeng's palm, still covered in blood from the bandage and bits of door panel, smiled and said, "It's good that the sun shines after the rain. It's dangerous for you to walk around alone when you're sick," Su Yuqing said reproachfully, then quickly took the bag and helped Chen Mo back to the living room to sit down. Before, I would just tough it out when I was sick," Chen Mo said to Su Yuqing with a helpless smile.
Chapter 147
People have become too delicate!
The reason why Su Yuqing is called this name is related to her birth experience.
Eighteen years ago, on the day Su Yuqing was born, it was pouring rain.
It's raining much harder than it is outside right now.
The torrential rain transformed into curtains of rain that enveloped the entire city.
Li Fengzhi's labor pains started two weeks earlier than her due date.
She was pacing around the living room, clutching Su Chengfeng's hand, saying, "The ambulance said the floodwaters were too deep to get through...
""Don't be afraid, I'll carry you to the hospital!
" Su Chengfeng carefully tied the maternity bag and raincoat, and when he squatted down, he revealed the wound on his back that had not yet been removed from the stitches—it was a few days ago when he protected Li Fengzhi by shielding her from falling objects.
Li Fengzhi choked back tears, stroking his bandaged shoulder which was soaked with blood: "Your injury hasn't healed yet...
"Before she could finish speaking, Su Chengfeng had already firmly supported her legs: "Hold on tight, let's take the road through the drainage ditch in the east alley.
"On the street where the floodwaters reached above knee-deep, the 26-year-old husband hunched over, shielding his wife from the howling wind.
Whenever lightning illuminated the path ahead, Li Fengzhi could see the bulging veins on her husband's neck and hear his panting, mingled with the sound of rain: "We'll be there soon...
Fengzhi, just hang in there a little longer...
""My water broke!
" Li Fengzhi suddenly exclaimed.
Su Chengfeng paused for a moment, then quickened his pace: "The Maternal and Child Health Hospital is just ahead!
"But at that moment, the swollen drainage ditch collapsed the stone railing, and the muddy water carrying tree branches instantly blocked its path.
"Chengfeng!
" Amid Li Fengzhi's cries, Su Chengfeng suddenly placed her on a slightly higher stone platform and rushed into a convenience store on the street.
Amidst the sound of shattering glass, he carried the convenience store door panel and leaped into the torrent, throwing himself into the water and using his back to brace against the floating door panel as a makeshift pontoon: "Step on my back to get across!
"At that moment, he was so reckless and so responsible.
At this moment, Li Fengzhi's love for him deepened even further.
When the on-duty doctor received the ice-cold new mother in the delivery room, Su Chengfeng was slumped in the corridor, vomiting up the muddy water he had swallowed.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly afterward.
At 10 a.
m.
, amidst Su Yuqing's cries, the torrential rain that had lasted for a day and a night finally stopped.
The nurse opened the window and exclaimed in delight, "The rain started to clear up as soon as the baby was born!
"At that moment, Su Chengfeng and Li Fengzhi almost simultaneously thought of the name Yuqing.
Covered in mud and looking at his wife and daughter with a sense of helplessness, he wanted to hug them but was afraid of getting them dirty.
He seemed so helpless at that moment.
So much so that Li Fengzhi burst out laughing when she saw his clumsy appearance.
“Our daughter’s birth brought sunshine after the rain, so let’s name her Yuqing (Rainy Day).
”Li Fengzhi pointed to the sun breaking through the clouds outside the window.
Su Chengfeng's palm, still covered in blood from the bandage and bits of door panel, smiled and said, "It's good that the sun shines after the rain.
No matter how big the storms are in the future, the three of us can get through them.
"This name, imbued with the parents' hardships and hopes, carries the miracle of a new life overcoming disaster and also solidifies the warm times of mutual support.
Even years later, after a family tragedy, Li Fengzhi would still think of that day from time to time.
Recalling this scene, Li Fengzhi felt a mixture of hatred and love for Su Chengfeng.
The two had experienced so many wonderful moments and so many hardships, but in the end he went astray.
The hope of sunshine after the rain seems to have become an eternal luxury.
"Let's go.
" Li Gang called out softly when he saw Li Fengzhi suddenly lost in thought.
"Hmm.
" Coming back to her senses, Li Fengzhi glanced apologetically at Li Gang.
Being with this man while she still occasionally missed Su Chengfeng was clearly unfair to the honest and kind man in front of her.
But she couldn't help it.
Whenever she is reminded of the scenery or is in a certain state of mind, she can't help but recall the beautiful past she had with Su Chengfeng.
That was a treasure she cherished for a lifetime, and she could never forget it.
When Chen Mo arrived at the clinic, he learned that he did not simply have a cold and fever, but had developed pneumonia due to inhaling sewage and catching a chill.
Fortunately, he didn't force himself to endure it at home, and the doctor soon arranged for Chen Mo to receive an IV drip.
After spending two or three hours at the hospital, Chen Mo finally dragged his tired body home.
As instructed by the doctor, he would need to come back for IV drips in the next two days.
Fortunately, after the doctor took a sample of Chen Mo's throat secretions for examination, it was found that Chen Mo's pneumonia was not the kind that is contagious by virus.
Therefore, Chen Mo does not need to worry about infecting Su Yuqing.
If he wants to go to school, he can wear a mask and go to school while sick.
However, the doctor advised him to take leave and rest at home for at least two days.
But Chen Mo was worried about Su Yuqing going to school alone.
Back home, Chen Mo tiptoed inside, but the sound of the door closing still woke Su Yuqing up.
Su Yuqing, who woke up while lying on the edge of Chen Mo's bed, was still a little dazed and only saw a burst of light coming from the direction of the living room.
With the help of the sliver of light filtering in from outside, she noticed that Chen Mo was no longer in bed, and that she was covered with a warm blanket.
Curious, she got up and went out of the room, only to see Chen Mo returning with medicine in his hand.
There were still bandages left from the IV drip on the back of my hand.
"You went to the hospital?
" Su Yuqing asked in surprise.
"Yeah, I was in bed all day and it still wasn't better, so I figured it wasn't just a common cold and went to see a doctor," Chen Mo said with a smile.
"Why didn't you ask me to come with you?
It's dangerous for you to walk around alone when you're sick," Su Yuqing said reproachfully, then quickly took the bag and helped Chen Mo back to the living room to sit down.
"I just have a cold and fever, it's not some serious illness that makes me weak, I'm not that fragile.
"Seeing that Su Yuqing was treating him like a seriously ill patient, Chen Mo immediately smiled and gestured for her to relax.
"Then I should have been there with you.
If you had any trouble while you were getting your IV drip, I could have helped you.
" Su Yuqing still blamed Chen Mo for not inviting her along.
"I was watching the wind and rain outside, and you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't want to wake you.
I'll definitely wake you next time," Chen Mo immediately made a false promise.
Seeing this, Su Yuqing was somewhat satisfied.
"Please sit down first.
I'll go get you some honey water to soothe your throat.
That should make your throat feel better tomorrow.
"Just as Chen Mo was about to call out to her, Su Yuqing had already nimbly headed towards the kitchen.
Soon, she returned with a bowl of honey water.
Chen Mo said with some concern, "Yuqing, you've had a long day.
Go and rest early.
Don't make me sick again by staying up all night.
""I'm fine.
Doing this little thing is nothing to me.
" Su Yuqing laughed it off, not caring about what she had done today.
"By the way, I saw a method this afternoon for massaging the head of someone with a cold before bed.
I'll massage it for you when you go to sleep, so your nose won't be stuffy and uncomfortable tonight.
""Since you've been by my side, I feel like I've become more delicate.
Before, I would just tough it out when I was sick," Chen Mo said to Su Yuqing with a helpless smile.
