Chapter 48: Who is that person?

  Mu You heard this voice, and her first reaction was to walk even faster...

  "Ah Yu!" This time, the teasing tone in his voice was gone, replaced by a hint of helplessness.

  Mu You could no longer pretend not to see, and sighed inwardly. He turned his head to see Chen Zirui walking towards him with big strides.

  It had been more than two months since they last met, and as he approached, Mu Yu felt that his temperament had changed a lot. He no longer had the awkwardness that people of this age should have, giving off a very mature feeling.

  "Don't ask me why I'm here, just like I won't ask you why you're here." As soon as she opened her mouth, Mu You said a long string of words in a roundabout way, Chen Zirui was taken aback at first, and then a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

  "But I don't mind telling you..." He let out a low sigh, his voice very soft, and Mu You still caught it sensitively, feeling even more uncomfortable.

  "Xiao You, how have you been lately?" Chen Zirui asked gently, looking at the girl in front of him with a bewildered expression.

  Although I know she has always been somewhat resistant to me, although I know there is an unknown knot in her heart towards me, although I know it's not the best choice to get close to her now, but... can't help but want to be close to her and know that she's doing well.

  "I'm fine." Mu You forced a smile, thinking to herself why Zhuo Fan still hadn't caught up, leaving her in such an awkward situation.

  "Xiao You, now that it's come to this, I only want to ask you one thing..." Chen Zirui's gaze became even more intense, and Xiao You also became increasingly uneasy.

  "Zi Rui, the land deed is all settled, it's time to go." Ai De's voice came from afar, but Chen Zi Rui seemed oblivious, still staring straight at her, finishing what he had to say.

  "Does a ten-year promise still count? Was it just a youthful joke or a sincere agreement?"

  Yu Yu's eyes drooped, and she remained silent until Ade's footsteps faded away quietly.

  Chen Zirui's heart suddenly sank, and he said despondently: "Alright, I understand..."

  Turning around, a sharp pain in his heart.

  "Chen Zirui!" Mu You shouted loudly at him, with a hint of relief in her hesitation, "If ten years later, you still keep this promise and I can still accept you, then I'll marry you!"

  The footsteps that were slowly leaving suddenly stopped, and almost instantly turned around, with an unbelievable joy, the sparkle in his eyes made Mu You's heart skip a beat.

  "Xiao You, thank you... for giving me a reason to hold on. I'll wait for you, what's ten years? As long as you're not married for one day, I'll wait for you for that one day, even if it's for a lifetime, what can be done?"

  After finishing speaking, Chen Zirui finally revealed a radiant smile that matched his age and turned around to leave.

  Her heart felt suffocated, and she was struggling in agony. The pain of her past life and the deep emotions of this life were replaying in her mind like a movie, making her almost collapse to the ground.

  "Miss! What's wrong?" Zhuo Fan rushed over to support her as soon as he saw Mu You's pale face, his heart skipping a beat.

  "Uncle Zhuo, I'm in a lot of pain. Probably need to go to the hospital." After finishing speaking, Mu You couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

  "This patient's illnesses are all minor problems, mild fever, low blood sugar, anemia and so on, but when these burst out together, sometimes it can be life-threatening!"

  The doctor looked at the report in his hand, getting angrier and angrier as he read on, until finally he couldn't help but shout out loud to the several people opposite him.

  "How can you family members be like this? These illnesses are caused by the patients' overwork, excessive stress and untimely meals. Don't you usually care about them?"

  Facing the young doctor's rebuke, who was not much older than themselves, Mu Han and Bu Li remained silent, because in their hearts, they had already scolded themselves thousands of times, especially Mu Han, who was filled with regret.

  He always says he wants to protect his sister, but what's the result? He's exhausted her to this point. As a younger brother, what has he actually done? Moreover, he's been keeping things from her and doing some things behind her back, saying it's to give her a surprise, but now it seems like he's just given his sister another reason to worry!

  "Alas!" Night Forest, who had rushed over, was also at a loss for words to refute the accusation. Indeed, he himself was also in the wrong! He had always been hoping that this little girl could make progress quickly and help her realize her wish soon, but he had forgotten that she was only a 16-year-old girl, whose physical burden was still unbearable.

  "Let's hurry up and leave, we can't explain to Madam Mei why we're here if she arrives!"

  Because of worry, he and Bu Li personally came to take a look. Now that they know the girl is safe, it's all right. Staying here any longer might bring trouble to the girl.

  What Ye Sen didn't know was that it was precisely because of this momentary distraction that he missed his meeting with Dong Qiu, and also led to another secret being delayed for many years. "Xiao Han, what's going on? Why did Xiao You suddenly faint?" Not long after Ye Sen left, Dong Qiu rushed to the hospital in a hurry, her face full of anxiety.

  "Mom, it's okay now, the doctor said it was just because of low blood sugar, nothing serious."

  Muxin chose only one of the causes of his illness in order not to worry his mother too much.

  "Xiao Han, you go back first, I'll take a look at your sister. You also pay attention to your body in the future and don't let me worry again!" Pushing open the door, Dong Qiu looked at her daughter who was sleeping soundly, and gently tidied up her scattered hair with some heartache.

  "Xiao You, I'm really sorry. Mom has been neglecting you lately, and didn't even know that your body was weak." Dong Qiu took Xiao You's hand, as if remembering something, a faint smile appeared on her face.

  "Xiao You, do you know? Mom has been really suffering lately. Every time I think of Qiao Qing appearing at home, I can't help but want to throw everything away and leave this house. But... Xiao You, if I left, what would happen to you and Xiao Han?" As she said this, Dong Qiu's eyebrows furrowed, her eyes filled with worry.

  Dong Qiu, lost in her own thoughts, didn't notice that Mu You, who was dozing off, moved his eyes restlessly because of her words.

  "Mom is really tired, little Yu, you can't have any more accidents, do you know that mom's only wish is for you to replace me and see that person, otherwise, I really won't be at peace!"

  Just after finishing speaking, Dong Qiu felt that his hand holding hers trembled slightly, and his heart sank as he looked at Mu You.

  Only then did Mu Yu open her eyes, looking at her with some incredulity, her voice trembling as she said: "Mom, who is that person?!"
