Chapter 1: The Returning Sky City
The train was still walking rapidly in the rain towards Suzhou. I finally opened my eyes and looked at the car window with pain and numbness, which became a little illusory because of speed. I saw that all the hills and lakes had just become a symbol in this rainy weather. How many lives are active and endlessly active, but I ignored them because of mental pain...
My brain has been briefly awakened on the verge of collapse. Did I go on the old path again, looking at a phenomenon that appears on the surface, only caring about pain, and neglecting the need to think deeply?
I thought of Mi Cai again, and all my actions at the wedding... Why did I not concentrate enough when I exchanged rings, but instead saw Qin Yan's performance in the crowd?
Is this just a coincidence?
It was definitely not a coincidence, but the external interference I received during this period made me psychologically suggest myself in tension all the time. Coupled with Mi Cai’s anxiety before marriage, I instinctively doubt whether the wedding could be held smoothly... So, in the most important part of exchanging wedding rings, I was extremely alert, afraid of encountering any unexpected situation, and then subconsciously paid attention to every detail around me, so I discovered Qin Yan’s abnormality!
What about Mi Cai? What's your mood at this time?...I put myself in my shoes and thought about it...
She must be very sad, very desperate!... She is sad for me and for herself. Yes, if it weren't for despair, how could she tell me the word "please" she had never said in her life? She begged me that Yan Zhuomei is not a vicious person, begged me not to take off my anger on the relationship we have worked hard on because of this incident.
She was wearing a wedding dress and her pale face once again appeared in my mind. A voice awakened me. Don’t use your impulse and extreme ways to hurt this pitiful and innocent woman. Besides, I still love her deeply...
I closed my eyes again, as if I saw the sky city where Mi Cai had opened the door and just waited for me to enter... It turned out that it had quietly returned to my heart in an unaware time. My love and life once again had the noblest faith because of meeting her.
......
The ringtone of the cell phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket. I was pulled back to reality, and my scalp was numb again. I was afraid that it was Yan Yan who called me, and I was afraid that I could hear the unacceptable bad news.
Fortunately, this call was called by Le Yao...
I soothed my breath over and over again. After waiting for a little calm, I answered the phone. On the phone, Le Yao was not a reproachful tone. She whispered: "Zhaoyang, we are all regretful when we hear this news, and we can understand your loss of composure in the face of life and death... But, you must wake up, think and face this matter clearly, do you understand? ... Also, we friends will stand by you and face it with you!"
I was silent for a long time before replying: "Thank you... Thank you for understanding my loss of compassion before my life and death, I..."
"You don't need to explain anything extra. What we need to do now is to understand the real situation of Jian Wei... I just asked someone to inquire. The situation is indeed not optimistic. I am in first aid, but there is still a chance of survival. I know you are very nervous, but I still hope you can relax and think about Mi Cai's feelings at this time...!"
"She...is she okay?"
"She?...If she is also in a panic like you, then is she still Mi Cai?... After you left, she contacted the best brain doctor in Shanghai and asked them to go to Suzhou to assist in treatment. If Jian Wei can be rescued this time, the best medical team will help her recover. Even if there are not domestic ones and excellent foreign doctors, she will definitely be able to live a normal life! You must firmly believe in this!"
Le Yao's advice made the emotions in my heart unspeakable, but I really saw Mi Cai's inner strength and kindness. However, after returning to Xuzhou, she kept accommodating me in a way that gave me the illusion of weakness. When I really need to face it, she could give me the most solid sense of security with the attitude of Mr. Mi.
Le Yao said to me again: "Zhaoyang, everyone is worried about Jian Wei... Now they are already rushing to Suzhou, and they may arrive before you, because the special plane that Jinfei and I have signed is still waiting for the return flight in Xuzhou, so we took the plane directly."
"Thanks."
"You don't have to say thank you to me. In addition to worrying about Jian Wei's safety, you also think about how to face Mi Cai later. In this incident, some of your reactions must have brought her a lot of touch. You have to figure out what she is thinking and how she views you."
I was silent...
"I believe you don't speak because you have heard my words... Also, this matter may not be as simple as imagined. Time will find out the truth. Don't have any extreme thoughts. Let's talk about the rest after meeting... The plane is about to take off!"
......
A moment after the call with Le Yao, the high-speed train took me to the next city. Although the sky was still dark, the rain had left the city. The plants and trees that were wet in the rain were emitting a breath of vitality while waiting for the arrival of the sun. I knew that spring was really coming. Although it continued the sadness of winter, it would definitely bring vitality to the world that had withered for a season... So, I prayed silently, praying that Jian Wei could safely survive this disaster in life.
About half an hour later, the train finally crossed the Yangtze River and arrived at the first Jiangnan city along the way. In extreme anxiety, I saw a trace of sunshine falling between the clouds. It kept undulating on my right hand, which made me overcome some anxiety and remembered in depth what impact this happening event had had on me and Mi Cai.
If Yan Zhuomei was really manipulating behind the scenes, how should I face this relationship with Mi Cai? And what choice would she make?
If it weren't for Yan Zhuomei, who was the person who incited behind the scenes and caused such serious consequences? Who was with such deep scheming, taking advantage of my weaknesses in human nature and pouring dirty water on Yan Zhuomei at this special moment?
I took a deep breath, as if standing on the sky city that Mi Cai took back for me, silently looking at whether the white clouds and cuckoos behind human nature...
Maybe, maybe not, because in addition to the sinisterness of human hearts, I also saw Le Yao and Mi Cai abandoned their prejudices against Jian Wei and worked hard for Jian Wei's survival with all their might. Isn't this the human glory that burst out from life and death!
