1155 She Had Long Been Used to His Liking
She had never given much serious thought to this question before.
In her past life, she had only met Lu Huaiyu twice, and strictly speaking, Lu Huaiyu… had only met her once.
It was the time when she had called him from the convalescent home before she while she had been on the verge of death and he had come to pick her up.
Before that, Lu Huaiyu had never even met her officially.
!!
Even that phone call had only been made when she found that she had no other choice.
When she had dialed that familiar number, she had not even been sure if he would come or not. She did not even know if he still remembered her.
But he had still come.
And…
It was only after he had taken her away from that place that she had finally realized his feelings.
She had waited for him at the convalescent home to see him. However, after she had gone back with him, her condition had deteriorated rapidly and her internal organs had deteriorated rapidly. After that, she had basically fallen into a coma.
From that moment until her death, she had been in a constant groggy state.
She knew how much he liked her when she had called him and seen him coming for her. He had carried her home before gently and patiently helping her to become clean again. It was he who had coaxed her to sleep until finally, among the increasingly heavy smell of cigarette smoke, he had softly begged her not to sleep.
Most of the time, her consciousness had been fuzzy, and there were only a few times that she had truly been awake. Moreover, at that time, she had been in a terrible state. The suffering she faced from the illness day and night had made her unable to care about anything else.
After her rebirth, she had spent a few days sorting out the situation. But then, completely unexpectedly, she had met Lu Huaiyu again.
It was much earlier than the first time they had met in their previous life.
Perhaps, from the moment she had made the first decision that was different from her previous life, which was to return to the Ye family with Su Yuan and the others one day later, everything had changed.
When had he started to like her?
In this life, when they first met in the Ye family, he had immediately stood up for her.
From then on, he had taken care of her in every way and did everything in a proper manner.
Even though his confession had come very late, in the past year, his love for her was already obvious.
Everyone knew, not to mention her.
At that time, Lu Huaiyu had asked her if she still did not understand how much he liked her.
How could she not know?
It had taken her two lifetimes to understand this.
However, perhaps it was because she had gotten used to his care, his love, and the favoritism that he had shown her in the final moments of her past life that she had naturally accepted everything he had done for her after she had been reborn.
Habits were such a scary thing. For so long, she had never given a serious thought to when she had started to like him.
It was because she had brought the habits from her previous life into this life, but… what about Lu Huaiyu?
She was sure that he did not have any memories of his past life, but… she was still a little worried.
When had Lu Huaiyu started liking her in her past life?
What about this lifetime?
The cold liquid flowed down her windpipe, leaving only a faint sweetness between her lips and teeth, with a slightly bitter aftertaste.
Shen Li suddenly felt that she had overlooked a lot of things.
However, when she wanted to find an answer, she found that there seemed to be a layer of mist in front of her eyes, and she could not see anything clearly.
He Xiaochen suddenly called out to her, “Ah Li, it’s time to check the tickets! Let’s go!”
Shen Li came back to her senses.
“Huh? Oh, okay.”
The two of them walked forward together. He Xiaochen turned to look at her.
“But Ah Li, why did you take so long to think just now? Didn’t your second brother tell you?”
He had not really said it.
She had not either.
Unlike other people who had explored and gradually developed their relations.h.i.+ps, the two of them seemed to have accommodated each other into their own world from the very beginning.
It just seemed natural for it to be that way.
“Yes.” She responded, before looking at the movie tickets in her hand.
“Hall 5, just turn right in front.”
He Xiaochen had wanted to ask more questions, but her attention was quickly diverted when she heard this.
There were many people watching this movie. The two of them entered the theater and found their seats.
The light dimmed, and everyone fell silent. He Xiaochen moved closer to her and whispered, “Ah Li, I brought three packs of tissue paper! Here you go!”
She had already watched the movie when it first premiered, and she had cried miserably. It was Ah Li’s first time watching it, so of course, she had to be fully prepared!
“Thank you,” Shen Li accepted her offering.
“No need to thank me! Everything about this movie is good but it consumes too much tissue paper.”
He Xiaochen grabbed a handful of popcorn and ate it, as she focused on the screen.
Shen Li leaned back in her chair. The light from the screen shone on her face, making her look even calmer, especially her eyes, which were dark and calm.
…
The tears of the movie were concentrated in the last half an hour, but only twenty minutes into the movie, He Xiaochen gently tugged on Shen Li’s sleeve and sobbed, “Ah Li, can I have a pack of tissue paper? ”
Shen Li was speechless.
She took out a packet and handed it over.
He Xiaochen thanked her, but seemed to feel that she had cried too early, so she added, “You’ll know why I’m crying when you see the ending.”
“Um…” Shen Li replied.
Although she had not gone to the premiere, and this was her first time watching the movie in the cinema, she had already seen it before.
By the middle of the movie, He Xiaochen had already finished one pack of tissue paper.
She then pulled on Shen Li’s sleeve, “Ah Li, the tissue paper…”
Shen Li took out another packet and handed it over.
Other than He Xiaochen, there were probably other people who were watching this movie a second time, so from this point on, more people were crying.
In the last half an hour, almost all of the audience in the whole theater was flooded with tears.
A burly middle-aged man in his forties to the left of Shen Li was even sobbing.
Hesitantly, she looked at He Xiaochen, only to see that she had just finished the last piece of tissue paper and was looking over at her too.
She sobbed, “Ah Li…”
Shen Li pa.s.sed the last packet to her.
He Xiaochen’s tears flowed even more.
…
When they finally finished watching the movie, He Xiaochen followed Shen Li out of the theater with swollen eyes.
She looked at Shen Li with tears in her eyes and her voice was hoa.r.s.e from crying.
“Ah Li, my eyes hurt so much!”
“…”
“Shengguang Media tricked me into crying again!”
“…”
“They would be so happy to see me cry so hard as they earn from the movie tickets! ”
“…”
Shen Li was silent for a moment, then she said, “Please choose from any of the restaurants on the third floor. Let me give you a treat.
He Xiaochen was speechless.
“Dear Ah Li, you truly treat me the best! ”
Shen Li cajoled her, “It’s nothing. It’s what I should do.”
…
Haicheng, Yu family.
Today was the day that Old Master Yu was to be discharged from the hospital. Early that morning, the Yu family had already started all kinds of preparations.
Yu Feng spoke as he adjusted his tie.
“If everything has been packed, let’s go.”
With that said, he lifted his feet and walked towards the door.
However, just as he reached the entrance, he saw a car parked outside the gate.
Yu Yu got out of the car.
“Second Uncle,”
Yu Feng glanced at her, but acting as if he did not see her, he turned back and said, ”
” Jiajia, Qianqian, let’s go. Let’s not keep Grandpa waiting. ”
