Chapter 805: Yu Li's Dream

~7 min read 1,329 words

Yu Li, who had played all day at the beach, happily returned home to eat.

While they were eating, the sky, which had been cloudless, suddenly darkened.

Xu Huizhen waited on Lao Cai while he ate, muttering.

"This damned weather, just a moment ago it was fine, and now it's turned like this."

"It seems unsuitable to go out today; after eating, let's watch some TV and then sleep."

Yu Li had no objection; she'd played too wildly today and was a bit tired.

After finishing her meal, Yu Li went back to the bedroom, quickly washed up, lay on the bed, and fell asleep.

Outside, the heavy rain poured with a splashing sound.

When she woke again, the outside still sounded splashing; Yu Li still thought the rain was falling, and she tightened the silk around herself.

Who knew that upon touching, she felt a piece of rough cloth in her hand.

Feeling something odd, she fully opened her eyes.

Where is this? Newspapers pasted on the walls, a coarse linen blanket, and outside there were cries………

Yu Li's mind was in a turmoil.

What's going on? Why does it feel somewhat familiar?

Looking again, isn't this the house she used to live in?

She pushed open the door and saw a torrential downpour outside.

She suddenly seemed to see Yang Qing's back walking into the Flower-Adorned Gate.

Had she time-traveled?

But was she married at this time?

Her mind was in a jumble, as if she were married, yet as if she weren't.

Could this be a dream?

She felt a bit excited.

Rain, Yang Qing, Qin Huairu?

Could it be that day?

She wanted to chase after Yang Qing, but then thought of something—Gu Ning.

Should she invite Gu Ning to come along?

She originally hadn't planned to call her, but thinking of Gu Ning's final regret...

She gritted her teeth and then rushed through the rain to Gu Ning's home.

Gu Ning was still doing chores; Yu Li took her hand and headed outside.

Gu Ning felt utterly bewildered.

"Yu Li, what are you doing?"

Yu Li smiled mysteriously.

"Don't speak, follow me; I'll let you make up for this lifetime's regret."

Gu Ning was utterly bewildered.

"What regret, no regret?"

"Yu Li, are you running a fever?"

Yu Li laughed loudly.

"Haha, I do have a fever—really burning up."

She took Gu Ning's hand, passed through the Flower-Adorned Gate, and rushed toward the Jia Family home, only to hear the voices of the Yan Family inside.

Yu Li froze—something was wrong.

Gu Ning saw her freeze.

"What's wrong? Weren't you going home?"

Yu Li came to her senses: "Right, this is a dream, so it differs from reality—it must be like this."

"I'm not going home; let's go to the Jia Family."

Gu Ning was doubtful.

"What are we going to the Jia Family for?"

"Bang Geng and Jia Zhangshi have upset stomachs and are still in the hospital."

Yu Li felt another surge of joy.

"Sure enough, it's a good dream."

"Never mind that; anyway, let's hurry to the Jia Family."

"This is your lifetime's regret; if you don't want to make up for it, just pretend I never said anything."

Gu Ning felt Yu Li was acting strangely today.

"What regret, what regret?"

Yu Li gave her a push.

"Hurry up, let's go to the Jia Family."

Gu Ning, muddle-headed, brought Yu Li toward the Jia Family.

Arriving at the three-courtyard compound, they reached the front gate of the Jia Family.

They faintly heard panting sounds.

Yu Li listened, looking as if she had expected it.

Opportunity, opportunity is right before them.

She pushed Gu Ning and rushed in; after entering she shut and locked the door.

The three people inside were all stunned.

Yang Qing lay on the kang, staring blankly at Gu Ning and Yu Li.

Qin Huairu sat there dazed, a bit at a loss.

Gu Ning stared in shock at all this.

Yu Li, however, delighted, pushed Gu Ning and rushed over.

If you don't astonish with your words, you won't rest.

"Take us both with you."

All three were dumbfounded at the same time.

Gu Ning seemed to think of something, got up and wanted to run out.

Yu Li, however, grabbed him; today she was determined to help her sister achieve her dream.

Gu Ning was about to cry, "What are you doing?"

He strained to run.

Yu Li said to Qin Huairu.

"Hurry up and grab her; if we don't make this good thing happen today, we're all doomed."

Qin Huairu was also frightened stupid, yet obediently ran over and grabbed Gu Ning in a hug.

"What are you doing? Let go of me, I won't say anything."

Yu Li hehehed with a smile.

"You dare say you don't like Yang Qing? This chance comes only once; if you don't take it, you'll never have another in this lifetime."

"No, let me go."

Gu Ning shouted in protest, but his resistance weakened until he finally gave in.

Yu Li and Qin Huairu glanced at each other, then pressed her down.

Yang Qing was completely dazed.

"This is a siheyuan; this plot is wrong, is it really this intense?"

"He initially wanted to resist, but then gave up."

Events have come to this; everything is too late. Now it's one sheep, also let go; three sheep, also let go.

Thunderclaps, heavy rain, mixed with strange sounds.

Nobody in the courtyard knew why Qin Huairu, who should have been attending to her mother-in-law's son at the hospital, was at home.

Moreover, no one expected even more outrageous things to be happening.

A few hours later.

Yu Li came to in a daze.

She was still wearing silk, and her home was still the home in Linshui.

But the feeling just now was too real.

Now she felt her whole self was clear-headed.

As if she had become sixty years younger.

After getting up, she voluntarily cooked, then went on humming a song while cleaning.

After Xu Huizhen pushed Lao Cai out, she suddenly saw the sun rising from the west.

The formerly gloomy Yu Li suddenly seemed like a completely different person today.

Yu Li's cheerful mood quickly infected them.

The two followed Yu Li in singing an old song.

"Honghu water ah……… the waves so wild crash into waves…………"

………………

Over the following days, Yu Li improved day by day, making people feel she had become ten or so years younger.

Xu Huizhen felt that Yu Li had come to the right place; her judgment was not wrong.

But now Yu Li's appearance makes one wonder if she and Yang Qing have become an item.

Xu Huizhen and Lao Cai looked like they were watching a show.

"Let's secretly follow them to see where they're dating."

Lao Cai nodded excitedly again and again.

This kind of voyeuristic excitement is something ordinary people don't understand.

Afterward they acted like detectives, beginning their own Sherlock Holmes careers.

In reality, although Yu Li's gaze toward Yang Qing held a pool of spring water that couldn't be concealed, the two did not cross the line.

Or put another way, they wanted to cross the line but lacked the ability.

"Could it be at night?"

Xu Huizhen and her husband felt that was the case.

They had observed for so long, yet never discovered their secret.

So it could only be at night.

They again began to stake them out at night.

For several consecutive nights, they discovered nothing.

"Could it be that we've been discovered?"

Lao Cai was the first to crack.

Let's just not hassle them; given time, they'll naturally show their flaws.

Now, our constant day-and-night hassling, I can barely stand it.

Xu Huizhen has also been hassled quite a bit.

Then let's first give them some leeway.

These two, sooner or later will make them embarrass themselves.

The two who couldn't keep it up finally gave up.
