Chapter 198: Comfort

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yuan Shu hurriedly changed out of her gown and put on a large white T-shirt. Then, she changed into a pair of comfortable cotton pants. The rubber band on her hair had just been taken off, and her curly hair was draped over her shoulders, but she didn’t have time to tidy her hair and hurriedly left the room to go to Shi Yi’s room.

She knocked on the door first, but there was no response. Yuan Shu was a little worried, so she knocked harder, but there was still no response.

Yuan Shu said, “Shi Yi, are you in the room? Can I go in?”

There was no response.

After Yuan Shu waited for about ten seconds, she couldn’t wait any longer. Just as she was about to break in, a muffled voice came from inside the room. “The door isn’t locked. Come in.”

After Yuan Shu opened the door and walked in, she saw that Shi Yi was lying on the bed with her face buried in the pillow and her hands hugging the pillow tightly. She was still wearing the gown and looked like she had fallen onto the bed the moment she returned home.

Shi Yi had been like this for at least half an hour.

After Yuan Shu walked over and sat down at the head of the bed, she patted Shi Yi’s shoulder gently.

It was April, and the temperature was still a little low at night. Shi Yi didn’t cover herself with a blanket, and her shoulders were exposed, so she felt cold to the touch.

“Shi Yi, what’s wrong? Can you tell me?”

Shi Yi’s shoulders were twitching. She must be crying.

She took a few deep breaths before she finally held back her tears. Then, she slowly raised her head and looked at Yuan Shu.

The makeup on Shi Yi’s face was smudged from crying and her tears mixed with her eyeliner turned into two black lines on her face.

Yuan Shu picked up the wet wipe at the head of the bed and took out a piece of tissue to carefully wipe the makeup on Shi Yi’s face, which was filled with grievance and sadness.

Yuan Shu asked again, “What’s wrong?”

Just as Shi Yi was about to say something, tears flowed out uncontrollably. She suddenly sobbed a few times before sitting up and leaning against Yuan Shu.

“Sister-in-law, I-l’m so sad. I’ve really never liked someone so much. Liking someone is really painful.”

Shi Yi had cried for too long, so she couldn’t say a complete sentence and stammered so much that Yuan Shu barely understood her.

Yuan Shu’s voice was very gentle. “Who is it? Why are you crying so sadly? Did he hurt you?”

Shi Yi shook her head vigorously. Even at this time, she firmly believed that Xu Zhi had his own difficulties and hadn’t deliberately let their relationship reach this stage.

Even if he was a member of the Xu family, Shi Yi would never believe that their relationship was Xu Zhi’s scheme.

At most, it was just a freak combination of factors, and the two of them were separated by their identities.

As Shi Yi cried, she told Yuan Shu everything that had happened between the two of them. Because she had been sobbing, it took more than an hour for her to finish telling Yuan Shu about these things. Yuan Shu finally understood the story.

To put it bluntly, it was just a difference in status. This was normal in Yuan Shu’s era. Many people who fell in love with each other would get separated because of their family backgrounds. Yuan Shu was already used to it.

Perhaps it was because they had seen too much in that era that Yuan Shu could accept separation more. This was normal. After all, only a few people who fell in love could eventually be together.

Yuan Shu comforted Shi Yi, “Alright, it’s all in the past. Let him become your most beautiful memory. You might be very sad now, but you’ll eventually get over it.”

Shi Yi burst into tears and cried even harder than before, as if she wanted to use this method to vent her emotions. It was as if only after crying could she be reborn and completely forget this relationship.

Yuan Shu patted Shi Yi’s back and let her cry non-stop. What she needed at this time wasn’t comfort, but companionship.

As Yuan Shu stared at the ceiling, she fell into a daze, as if she was thinking about someone far away.

Who was it?

Why did that person seem to be right in front of her, but he always disappeared like mist whenever Yuan Shu wanted to catch him?
