Chapter 370 An unexpected encounter
The fate in this world is very wonderful. You never know under what circumstances two people will meet.
Della pointed at two people who looked like Zhou Yushi and Tang Yu mixed in the crowd in a black-and-white photo, and only then did she know that Zhou Yushi's grandfather Zhou Zhaoheng had also studied in Country Y. Wu Yunzhou and Zhou Zhaoheng had talked at a gathering of Chinese people, and Zhou Zhaoheng, the son of a banker, had also helped him.
"His grandfather is rich, really rich. He married a wife whose family was a salt merchant in Tianjin in the early years," Wu Yunzhou sighed, also feeling that things are unpredictable. Who could have thought that his daughter and Zhou's daughter could become sisters-in-law? "But he is a good man. It would have been really hard for me to live without the money he gave me. When I returned to China, I thought about looking for him. I found out that he didn't come back after graduation. The only one left in the family is my younger sister who married in Shanghai."
"Actually, it's not a good idea for him to do this," Wu Yunzhou stared at the door and whispered in Della's ear, "Those of us who can go out are basically sent out by the government. It's really unacceptable to take the country's money and never come back. Sigh——"
Wu Yunzhou sighed for many people and things. "A few years after Renlan got married, I would write to him and communicate. He went abroad and became a citizen of another country. His life did not get better. He soon went bankrupt. He worked hard to earn a little career and send his daughter to college. He said that the longer he stayed abroad, the more he missed home."
Della listened and looked more carefully at the two once young faces in the photo. The difference was obvious. One had sparkling eyes while smiling, while the other was just smiling. The vague upper-class arrogance was the same as that of many people she had met.
"It's all in the past, now it's time to let my children and grandchildren have their own blessings," Wu Yunzhou said with relief, turning another page in the album, "I could tolerate everything back then, except my love of taking photos. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to the point of starving myself when I was old. But when I go out, I still want to leave some traces..."
Just as the page turned, another unexpected encounter happened. Della looked at Bronte's face in the upper left corner, which she had seen in Maggie's memory, and her pupils shrank.
"I still remember this guy," Wu Yunzhou pointed at him. "Everyone there said that all yellow people look the same. Actually, I think all white people look the same. I think this guy is the most handsome and classic one among all the white people I have seen. He has yellow hair and blue eyes. He looks a bit like an old noble. He is simply carved according to what I think a Y countryman looks like."
"Taking a photo of him because of this?" Della's throat tightened as she looked at Bronte's solo photo and the following photo of Bronte and Wu Yunzhou with their shoulders linked.
"Of course not. What impressed me more was Bronte's politeness and humor," Wu Yunzhou touched the photo. "We actually only knew each other for a short while. That day, he sat next to me while I was feeding the pigeons and naturally talked to me about my country. He had a lot of questions and told me a lot about Europe. That conversation was definitely the most friendly and enjoyable one I had during my study abroad."
"You guys got up so early," Zhou Yushi came in with Bellinda. Looking at the photo album between Wu Yunzhou and Della, he laughed, "Grandpa Wu is looking back at the past again."
"When people get old, they love to look back on the past," Wu Yunzhou laughed. He watched his wife hand the pancakes she bought that morning to Tang Yun, who was following behind them without raising his eyes. "Where are you planning to go today?"
"I want to stay here today and listen to the past. You guys go out and play," Della looked up and said first. She smiled shyly, "Grandpa Wu's photo album makes me miss home."
"Do you miss the Seine?" Zhou Yushi asked as he stuffed the fried dough sticks into Bellinda's porridge amid Wu Yunzhou's laughter.
"It's not time to think about it yet." Belinda picked up a bun and started to eat it.
"Then are we going out today?" Zhou Yushi said, dragging out his voice a little.
Bellinda paused while chewing the bun and blinked twice at Zhou Yushi.
"Take you to climb the Great Wall?" Tang Yu, who was sitting diagonally opposite to Della, raised his head and deliberately kept his eyes straight, for fear of making eye contact with Della.
"Young couple, why are you still following us?" Huang Wodan smiled and patted her silly grandson. "You can stay at home today, or go to school. Even if you have finished writing the thesis, it would be nice to walk around more."
Tang Yun was chewing a pancake and felt as if his tongue was gone. The aroma was fragrant but he could not taste anything. He quickly glanced at Della and found that she was looking at the photo album intently. He felt lost.
If the heart disease is not cured, no medicine can cure it.
But strangely, although Tang Yun was shocked by the news, he did not feel uncomfortable about it, even though being sick with worry was not in line with his sixteen years old.
After last summer, Zhou Yushi would always tease him about the fact that Della was only 13 years old when she appeared in the newspaper, thinking that his momentary admiration was too superficial.
But Tang Ming could distinguish between the temporary visual impact and the spiritual shock. After he caught a glimpse of Della in the newspaper brought back by his father, he could not escape from Della's melancholy temperament and surging loneliness.
She was so melancholy and lonely, as if she didn't belong to this world, but the world forced her to stay.
Tang Yun looked at Della again and found that her melancholy, which she rarely showed in this yard, had quietly emerged.
Homesick, is her worry about Country Y? Or is it about her family that is not warm and loving to her from the outside?
No matter which one it is, it is not something he can get involved in or solve.
Tang Yun also fell into depression and didn't notice Zhou Yushi and Bellinda walking out hand in hand.
Bellinda needed to put on some more makeup, and Zhou Yushi needed to get some necessary safety tools.
Please be considerate of them. They are at the age of youth and romance, but they are sleeping in separate rooms. These days, Belinda has been very satisfied with Zhou Yushi's meticulous care and is just waiting for a space to be alone.
"Della seems much happier here," Belinda said, drawing eyeliner, planning to change her makeup to a brighter one. "It makes me feel better too. I saw some medicine for mental illness when she was packing her luggage that day. I think she was not in a good state that day in Italy."
"Has she taken the medicine recently?" Zhou Yushi walked over to Bellinda after getting the food. "You can't stop taking the medicine without following the doctor's advice."
Bellinda moved the eyeliner away from her eyes. When she looked up at Zhou Yu, she said in a low voice, "Let's take a look."
As she spoke, she carefully opened Della's drawer and took out the medicine that she had seen Della put in. When Bellinda handed the bottle to Zhou Yu, she said, "You count it and see if the amount is correct."
Zhou Yushi took the medicine bottle, looked at the bottle to understand the quantity of the medicine and the recommended frequency of taking it, and when he unscrewed it, he noticed a small circle of very light gray under the bottle cap.
Della hasn't taken this medicine for a long time.
Zhou Yushi made this judgment. He pretended to take a reasonable amount of medicine. Thinking about her abnormal state on the day they met, he smiled at Belinda and said, "I didn't take it according to the dosage, but I took it anyway. I don't think you need to worry too much."
"That's good," Belinda breathed a sigh of relief. She pointed at the open drawer and told Zhou Yushi to screw the bottle cap back on and put it in. She then painted her eyes in the mirror and said, "Have you thought about how to spend your day today?"
"Let's find a relaxing place to go, have a luxurious meal, and then express my love with actions." Zhou Yushi secretly wiped off the small circle of dust that revealed the flaw, put the medicine bottle back, and said with a raised eyebrow, earning a smirk from Belinda with her eyes slanted.
He also smiled, slowly walked to the chair and sat down, thinking about why Della didn't take the medicine but still became that state.
Are there other magic drugs?
But if that's the case, there's no need to bring this medicine bottle here.
The medicine bottle seemed to be deliberately shown to Belinda to explain her abnormal behavior on the first day.
The more you try to hide something, the more obvious it becomes. Zhou Yushi has a hunch that Della is hiding some deeper secret.
He sat in the chair, frowning at this speculation, and then he remembered the letter that Tang Xueji had sent him when she sent him Powang. In addition to the normal greetings, there was only one more sentence:
'When it rains, it is rare to be ignorant in life.'
If you think about it carefully, it's just a secret, and a secret that has nothing to do with him, so why bother to delve into it.
"I'm fine," Belinda turned her head and smiled at Zhou Yushi charmingly, "Get into the role of a perfect lover right away, dear~"
"I'm always ready, Belle." Zhou Yushi, who had come to his senses, patted his chest lightly. The clothes he wore had a pocket on the chest, and the ring he gave to Belinda was always placed in it.
His happiness lies here, and of course he cannot go any further in a direction that would destroy his happiness.
