Chapter 056 I Miss You
Shen Yi stayed in Su Qiu's room for a whole day and night.
I waited from dawn till dusk, asking all the servants in the house, but the answer I got was always, "We don't know when Miss Su will be back."
He was still unwilling to give up and dialed Su Qiu's number again and again, but all he heard was a cold busy tone.
The anxiety and grievances that had been building up all day suddenly exploded.
Like a trapped beast out of control, Shen Yi suddenly swept his hand across the bedside table.
With a "crash," the vase on top fell to the ground, shards and water stains splashing everywhere.
"That damn woman! She's driving me crazy! She's driving me crazy..."
He growled, his eyes bloodshot, and grabbed an ornament from the dressing table, smashing it against the wall.
The sound of shattering ceramics echoed throughout the room, turning the once tidy room into a complete mess in an instant.
"I'm going to destroy your house!"
That way you can come back.
But this little bit of damage was not enough to vent his anger.
He turned around and opened the drawer of the dressing table, where he saw a velvet jewelry box. It was exquisitely crafted and clearly very valuable.
Without thinking, Shen Yi grabbed the box and slammed it to the ground.
With a "click".
The box was thrown open, and the contents rolled out.
Shen Yi was about to kick him when his gaze suddenly froze.
My whole body is stiff.
What rolled to the ground was a string of warm, smooth dzi beads, with tiny patterns he knew all too well engraved on the beads.
It's a bracelet that his grandmother left him!
He had been searching for so many years, turning over every possible place.
Even offering a reward for information leading to their discovery went unanswered.
I almost thought I would never find it again.
How did it end up here with Su Qiu?
The violence in Shen Yi's body vanished instantly, leaving only disbelief and astonishment.
He stumbled and rushed over, not even noticing his knees hitting the floor hard.
He hurriedly picked up the fallen bracelet, his fingertips trembling slightly with nervousness.
He carefully placed the bracelet back into the velvet box, his fingertips caressing the box's delicate texture.
The box looks like it has been carefully maintained, with no wear or tear on the edges.
It was clearly carefully treasured by its owner.
Su Qiu protected it very well.
My grandmother's voice, appearance, and smile suddenly appeared before my eyes.
Those warm memories and the ecstasy of regaining what was lost are intertwined.
It overwhelmed all his defenses like a tidal wave.
Memory Return:
Summer sunlight filters through the leaves of the old locust tree, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
Little Shen Yi had just finished playing wildly along the edge of the field, and his little face was covered in mud.
The stray hairs on his forehead were damp with sweat and stuck to his brow.
But his mouth was wide open in a grin, like a little fox who had just stolen some candy.
He carried a pocket full of wild berries, red and purple.
Carrying the fresh scent of earth, she skipped and hopped into the yard, shouting towards her grandmother who was sitting under the grape trellis reading a book:
"Grandma~!"
Grandma put down her book, looked up and saw him like this, and couldn't help but laugh:
"Xiao Yi's back? Look at you, all dirty, you look like a little kitten."
She put down her book, stood up from the bamboo chair, picked up the handkerchief beside her, and gently wiped his face.
The handkerchief carried a faint scent of soapberry, and it tickled my cheeks when I wiped them.
Shen Yi couldn't help but shrink his neck and chuckle.
"Grandma, look at the fruit I picked!"
He proudly pulled the wild berries from his pocket and spread them in his dirty little palms, exclaiming, "They're so sweet!"
Grandma smiled and pinched his cheek:
"Our Xiao Yi is really amazing."
As he spoke, he took out his favorite milk candy and candied fruit from the house.
Then, as if by magic, she pulled out a fluffy little bear doll from behind her back.
"Look, Grandma bought this for you, isn't it pretty?"
The bear has pink ears and round, bright eyes.
Xiao Shenyi immediately cheered and took it, hugging it tightly in his arms.
The little face rubbed against the bear's soft fur, and the eyes narrowed into slits with a smile:
"Beautiful! Thank you, Grandma!"
Back then, little Shen Yi was always so soft and cuddly, like a freshly baked glutinous rice cake, exuding carefree sweetness.
Grandma's laughter, the sweetness of snacks, the plush fur of the teddy bear.
The wind on the ridges of the fields became the warmest backdrop of his childhood.
……
Shen Yi, clutching the jewelry box, suddenly squatted down on the ground like a lost child and burst into tears.
The sobs were suppressed and aggrieved, carrying long-suppressed longing and the excitement of regaining what was lost, echoing in the empty room.
"Grandma, I miss you so much..."
……
Shen Yi didn't know how long he had been crying.
She only gradually stopped crying when her voice became hoarse and her tears dried up.
Shen Yi sniffed, wiped his face haphazardly with his sleeve, and tried to compose himself.
He picked up his phone and dialed Lin Wei's number, his voice still thick with a nasal tone:
"Get the records from that charity auction last time, especially the information of the buyers who bought the bracelets, and send them to me immediately."
Then he ordered someone to come and clean the house.
Not long after.
Lin Wei then sent a message, along with a blurry screenshot from surveillance footage.
The buyer in the screenshot is wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a mask, so their face is not visible.
But Shen Yi recognized him at a glance by his figure and walking posture.
It's Su Qiu.
Why did she take a picture of this bracelet?
Is it because you like the bracelet itself?
still is……
Shen Yi held his phone, looking at the bracelet in the box, and a feeling he couldn't quite describe welled up inside him.
We were investigating who took the picture, but that person's identity information is top secret and we can't find out anything about them.
I never expected it to be Su Qiu.
That means Su Qiu's identity is more complicated than he imagined.
But no matter what, the anger and resentment from before seemed to have been neutralized by this bracelet.
All that remained was a mind full of doubts and a touch of indescribable tenderness.
Shen Yi carried the velvet box and slowly made his way back to the bedroom.
There were still clothes piled up on the bed that hadn't been put away yet, the soft fabric carrying her usual cool fragrance.
Like an invisible barrier, it gently enveloped him.
He collapsed, burying himself in the pile of clothes that still carried her scent.
Like a small animal drenched by the rain, it curled up.
His nose brushed against the soft fabric, and the familiar scent seeped into his nostrils, inexplicably calming his turbulent emotions.
He sniffed, his eyes still damp.
The bracelet, which he had lost and then found, was in his arms. The warm touch came through the fabric, like his grandmother's hand gently patting his back.
Having obtained what I wanted, it felt as if a corner of the emptiness in my heart had been filled.
He was no longer irritable or crying; he simply lay quietly, letting the atmosphere of the room envelop him.
Gradually, my eyelids began to feel heavy.
Shen Yi huddled closer to the pile of clothes, finding a comfortable position.
Like a small animal that has found a safe haven, it obediently closed its eyes.
His breathing gradually became even, and he fell into a deep sleep in the "nest" filled with her scent.
Shen Yi slept soundly that night.
In his dream, he saw his grandmother, as if he had returned to his childhood.
I also dreamed about Su Qiu.
He dreamt that Su Qiu bullied him and said she liked him.
