Chapter 359: Chapter 359

Using the Plot Correction Card (1)

Jiang Xiaoman teasingly poked Yu Qingshi’s shoulder, “Wow, so you had such a side when you were young.”

Yu Qingshi fiercely glared at her. His face was slightly angry, and he didn’t say anything.

“So you liked to cry and cause trouble.”

“…it’s been a very long time, I might have remembered incorrectly.”

“Really?” Jiang Xiaoman said in disbelief, “You really can’t be honest. Which kid doesn’t like to cry? You said you wanted to go home, were you reluctant to be apart from me?”

It was just a joke at first, but it unknowingly hit Yu Qingshi’s sensitive spot, which made him give a huge reaction as he retorted, “That wasn’t it!”

“Aiya, I just said that randomly, why did you react so much? Did I hit the mark?”

“…” Yu Qingshi was so angry that he stopped talking.

This rascal Jiang Xiaoman was bullying him on purpose.

She always had thousands of words to use to deliberately annoy him, so he wasn’t gonna pay attention to her anymore.

Jiang Xiaoman was especially bold today. She teased him again and again, deliberately leaning over and saying slowly, “Do you really like me?”

Her eyes blinked with a hint of slyness.

Yu Qingshi was angry and swallowed back all the words he was going to use to refute her. After a while, he casually laughed and revealed a faint smile, saying crisply, “Yeah.”

“Eh?”

“I do.”

He was speaking very calmly. His face was calm and he looked straight back at her without blinking, making Jiang Xiaoman dumbfounded.

Faced with this unexpected confession, Jiang Xiaoman’s head was filled with a buzz, and when she came back to her senses, she found that her face had turned crimson.

She murmured ‘shameless’, then stopped teasing him.

The tables had turned!

The two went home holding hands and prepared their luggage.

Two days after they went home, they went to the nursing home.

It was located in a relatively remote, suburban location. Yu Qingshi just got his driver’s license and drove Jiang Xiaoman there.

The road there was very empty, and there were barely any pedestrians. Because there were so few people using the road, the atmosphere felt a bit desolate.

Jiang Xiaoman tilted her head to look at Yu Qingshi, and her mood became inexplicably heavy. She couldn’t hide her emotions and pursed her mouth, and Yu Qingshi knew what she was thinking.

“Don’t worry.” Yu Qingshi reassured her, “This place is very good; it’s quiet and suitable for recuperation. The caretakers are very responsible and wouldn’t make her feel wronged. My grandparents also wanted to take her out to take care of her closer, but she doesn’t want to. So just let her have it as she wants.”

Yu Qingshi’s mother was sometimes lucid and sometimes deranged. Although there were many times where she had a psychotic breakdown, she would be no different from regular people when she was lucid. The family had asked her for her opinion, and she decided to live here by her own choice.

First, the hospital had the best medical equipment, so no matter what happened, they would be able to handle it in time. Second, she was also afraid of hurting others when she went mad.

Jiang Xiaoman said, “When I see her later, will she recognize me?”

Yu Qingshi shook his head and said nothing.

She probably wouldn’t recognize her; Yu Qingshi had never mentioned Jiang Xiaoman to her.

Soon, they entered the nursing home and met Yu Qingshi’s mother.

Yu Qingshi’s mother was lucid at this time. With a warm smile on her face, she greeted Jiang Xiaoman at first sight.

“This is Xiaoman, right? She’s very good-looking, a great match with my son.” Yu Qingshi and Jiang Xiaoman were both startled by her look of intimacy.

The two looked at each other, and then called her ‘mother’ one after the other.

It was fine for Yu Qingshi to call her mother, but it was a bit peculiar for Jiang Xiaoman to call her mother. By the time Jiang Xiaoman realized it, she had already said the words, and it was difficult to change how she’s addressing her.

Jiang Xiaoman blushed slightly and stood beside Yu Qingshi.

Yu Qingshi’s mother smiled and said, “Everyone here’s a good child. Let’s sit down first. I’m not feeling too well, and I’ll have to go to back to the ward soon.”

“A few days ago, your grandfather and grandma told me that you and Xiaoman are coming to see me. I guessed that you would be coming in this couple of days and I’ve been looking forward to it again and again. Finally, you two are here.”

Her sighs were long and her gaze were distant. When she laughed, a lot of wrinkles formed at the edge of her eyes, revealing traces of aging, but she looked very friendly.

Jiang Xiaoman couldn’t imagine what she would be like when she went psychotic. After all, her current eyes were very warm.

The afternoon sun felt just right, and the light shone down through the gaps in the trees, forming various bright spots. The breeze was blowing gently, which felt very comfortable. She dragged Jiang Xiaoman and Yu Qingshi with her and chatted with them a lot. After about two hours, the head nurse came over and said, “The time is up for today, she should go back to rest.”

The smile on Yu Qingshi’s mother’s face collapsed, and she said bitterly, “I’m not feeling very well, so I won’t accompany you longer. We’ll talk more another day when I feel better.”

Yu Qingshi nodded and sent her back.
