Hai Chen's self-righteous sense of superiority triggered an impulse in Bo Su to hack him to death with a machete.
He looked at Hai Chen, his deep eyes emitting a dangerous glint. Speaking in his deep voice, there was an aura of authority in his tone. "You're courting death."
With just a single command from Bai Lancheng, the spoiled, rich second-generation Hai Chen could be reduced to a penniless beggar.
Seeing that the two of them were at odds, Yan Shu quickly stepped forward to ease the tense atmosphere. "Mr. Hai Chen, I want to tell you that as long as a girl has someone in her heart, she is definitely not a good match for you. Don't waste your time on me. Go find a girl who likes you."
Hai Chen, on the other hand, was very stubborn. "Yan Shu, before I met you, I might have thought that you were just a suitable match for me. But after meeting you, I realized that I had fallen in love with you. Compared to the countless train station names and country names I memorized during my childhood, you captivate me even more," Hai Chen said.
Yan Shu was dumbfounded.
For people with Asperger's, they enjoy memorizing bus stops, train routes, numbers, among other things. Those were hobbies ingrained in their bones. However, Hai Chen, who was a high functioning Asperger's has likened his love for her to his stereotypical childhood memories. This moved and unsettled Yan Shu all at the same time.
It was hard to change their behavior when Asperger's individuals were fixated on something.
Yan Shu looked helplessly at Bo Su for help. Bo Su's handsome face was dark as he said to Yan Shu, "Shushu, get in the car."
Yan Shu bowed deeply to express her apology to Hai Chen and got into Bo Su's front passenger seat. Bo Su stepped on the accelerator and left Hai Chen behind them.
As Yan Shu looked at the commanding presence of Bo Su, she felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. Fully aware that she was a married woman, she still got entangled with other men. It made her feel deeply ashamed.
She lowered her head and stammered, "Bo Su, I'm sorry. He's a patient with Asperger's. Once he fixates on something, his behavior could become compulsive. In actual fact, he doesn't actually love me…"
Bo Su's stiff expression softened a little. He freed one hand to hold Yan Shu's small hand and said childishly, "Shushu, I'm not angry at you. I'm angry at Hai Chen. He actually belittled me in front of you, making me seem worthless."
He glanced at Yan Shu. "Would you think that your husband is a useless man because of his words?"
Yan Shu couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Mr. Bo, I'm not stupid." After saying this obscure sentence, Yan Shu turned her head towards the window.
The smile in her eyes had already betrayed her heart.
Although Bo Su wasn't wealthy or exceedingly talented, his thoughtfulness towards her was like a ray of sunshine in the dark abyss where Yan Shu had fallen. It was this strength that redeemed her from sinking into darkness.
Just as Bo Su was looking at her in a daze and trying to figure out what she meant by saying "I'm not stupid", Yan Shu suddenly said in a low voice, "You're very good."
The gloom on Bo Su's gloomy face was instantly brightened by the sunlight. He grabbed Yan Shu's hand and pressed it against his handsome face. "Shushu, what's so good about me?"
Yan Shu: "…"
Yan Shu turned around and looked at him with a serious expression on her face. "I thought that losing Gu Yucheng would kill me. But you were the one who revived me."
Bo Su was stunned.
He knew that Yan Shu had loved Gu Yucheng for ten years. No matter how shallow their love was, it should be deeply engraved in her heart. However, he could feel his heart aching for Yan Shu.
"Shushu, forget about him completely, okay?"
"I will be by your side for the rest of your life."
Yan Shu's eyes were wet. "Okay."
Bo Su pulled her into his arms.
When the Mercedes-Benz arrived at the entrance of the hospital, Yan Shu saw a familiar figure. Once Yan Shu got out of the car, that person sprinted over and hugged Yan Shu tightly in her arms.
"Shushu, Shushu. I'm back. Haha, are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
Yan Shu was so constricted by her embrace that she couldn't speak properly. "You still remember to come back? Didn't you say that the moon in the United States is rounder than the one in China, and the air in the United States is fresher too? Were you intending to spend the rest of your life there in the United States and never come back?"
"Boohoohoo, I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have harbored so much resentment after being betrayed by that scumbag. Actually, I love my country. After all, there's the kind and cute Yan Shu here, and my favorite osmanthus flower…"
Mi Le suddenly spotted Bo Su. Although she could only see Bo Su's perfect profile through the car window, Mi Le was still stunned.
Mi Le changed the subject. "Also, I realized that men with dark hair and dark eyes are really much cooler than white men…"
Bo Su stepped on the accelerator and sped off.
Mi Le, "…"
Yan Shu reached out to shield Mi Le's eyes. "That is my man. You can't look at him."
Mi Le was dumbfounded.
"Yan Shu, who is he to you?"
Yan Shu lowered her head and smiled shyly.
"Someone who will walk with me for the rest of my life."
Mi Le's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "F*ck, have I entered a parallel world? Shushu, I thought Gu Yucheng is your boyfriend? Weren't you head over heels over him and refuse to marry anyone other than him?"
Yan Shu's face darkened.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you in detail later. But you have to tell me, why did you suddenly come back?"
"Ziwen sent me 13 marriage invitations in a row and invited me to be her bridesmaid. The three of us have been inseparable since childhood. How can I not come back when she is getting married? Shushu, she must have invited you to be her bridesmaid too. We have to give her our full support on her big day."
Yan Shu didn't say a word.
After a long while, Yan Shu said coldly, "Mi Le, I refuse to be her bridesmaid."
Mi Le shouted agitatedly, "Why not? Shu Shu, this is the promise we made—the one who gets married later will be the bridesmaid for the one who gets married first. Why are you breaking your promise? Shu Shu, we are the best and closest sisters in the world."
Yan Shu glanced at her watch. It was almost time for work. She had no time to explain to Mi Le. She could only say to Mi Le, "Let's have a meal together tonight. I'll explain the reason to you during dinner."
Mi Le wasn't quite done yet. "Okay."
After watching Yan Shu rush into the hospital, Mi Le took out her phone and sent a message to Wang Ziwen. "Ziwen, I'm back in the country. Remember to bring my godson's father when we meet for dinner tonight."
Wang Ziwen was overjoyed when she received the message.
Gu Yucheng asked her, "What's the good news? Why are you smiling so happily?"
Wang Ziwen smiled mysteriously. "Mi Le has returned to the country. We have a bridesmaid now."
Gu Yucheng was a little disappointed. "I thought you had decided on Yan Shu to be our bridesmaid?"
Wang Ziwen rolled her eyes at him unhappily. "Yan Shu is putting on airs and is unwilling to attend our wedding."
Gu Yucheng's eyes were like a bottomless pool, rippling with emotions.
