Reincarnation: I Married My Ex’s Brother - Chapter 384

Chapter 384: Reunion

Beauty Wu walked to the supermarket to buy things.

The supermarket gave a discount today.

The last time she went to visit Brother Lei’s parents, she heard from Mother Song that there was no supper at night in the courtyard and they ate dinner early. They were always hungry.

Beauty Wu pushed the shopping cart and found a place to buy supplements. She bought a few packets of cereal and a few pairs of thin cloth shoes for the elderly. Looking at the place where the cart was, Beauty Wu felt that there were too few items and ran to the fruit section to buy fruits.

She lowered her head and chose some apples and kiwis. She put them in a bag and weighed two bags of fruits.

There were many people in the supermarket today because of the discount.

There were many people standing in front of Beauty Wu. She tiptoed and looked forward, only to see a familiar back view. That back view was tall and handsome, like a pine tree. He was tilting his head and talking to the girl in a light yellow strapless dress beside him. Even the way he spoke to people was very similar to Wei Shuyi.

Beauty Wu stared at that back view for a while. When she came back to her senses, she could not help but mock her delusion.

He was still in America, how could he be here?

Even though she knew that the person wasn’t Wei Shuyi, Beauty Wu still couldn’t help but greedily look at that figure.

Afraid that her focus would shock him, Beauty Wu retracted her gaze.

The person in front moved forward, and it was almost Beauty Wu’s turn. Beauty Wu followed the group and took a step forward. At this moment, it was finally the man who looked like Wei Shuyi’s back.

After a while, the girl beside the man took the fruit bag and looked down at the fruits. Suddenly, she looked up at the man beside her and said, “Brother Wei, this gold kiwi is really expensive.”

Even his surname was the same as that person.

Beauty Wu was a little dazed.

At this moment, the person spoke.

“You said it yourself. This is a golden kiwi not a green kiwi. It’s definitely expensive.” The gentle voice was extremely familiar.

This voice had once whispered in her ear countless nights.

This voice had said that he loved her and regretted knowing her.

Tears flashed in Beauty Wu’s eyes.

At this time, she should lower her head and pretend to be invisible so that she would not meet Wei Shuyi face to face. However, she could not help but shout in her heart, “I want to see him, even if it’s just one time!”

Beauty Wu raised her head and watched the two of them approach her.

It was really Wei Shuyi.

He was wearing a pure white shirt with a hint of flirtatious red on the side of his chest. It was a simple shirt, but it made him look handsome and eye-catching when he wore it. When he tilted his head to speak to the yellow-dressed girl beside him, his smile was gentle and light, just like how he used to say sweet nothings to her.

Beauty Wu’s heart ached.

Just as Wei Shuyi finished speaking and walked over, Beauty Wu lowered her head in panic and looked at the tip of her black high heels.

Finally, they walked past each other.

Beauty Wu did not even have the courage to look at their backs.

When she paid the bill, Beauty Wu was afraid that she would meet them. She deliberately dawdled for more than ten minutes before going to pay the bill.

Fortunately, Beauty Wu avoided them perfectly.

The supermarket was located in a large mall. On the fourth floor, Beauty Wu was carrying a lot of things, so she could only take the elevator down. She pressed the button for the door and waited quietly. People lined up behind her one after another to wait for the elevator.

Ding—

The door opened and people walked out. She then entered the elevator with the people behind her.

Beauty Wu entered the elevator with her back facing the door.

She put her things on the ground and turned around. When she turned around, her nose brushed against someone’s chin.

This distance was too close.

Beauty Wu wanted to retreat, but just as she moved her feet back, she realized that there were shopping bags on the ground behind her feet.

Helpless, she leaned her upper body back and looked up.

Beauty Wu was shocked when she looked up.

She looked at the familiar handsome face close to her, and her heart ached. It also started to beat faster.

They were too close to each other, and Beauty Wu could almost hear Wei Shuyi panting slightly. What was he doing? Why was his heart beating so fast? It was as if he was sprinting.

Wei Shuyi stood facing her. He looked down at Beauty Wu with a cold gaze.

When old lovers met, they would either fight or provoke each other.

But Beauty Wu could not bear to do it either.

Her red lips moved a few times before she said softly, “Mr…. Mr. Wei, long time no see. When did you return?”

Wei Shuyi was stunned.

She called him Mr. Wei.

“The day before yesterday.” Wei Shuyi’s voice was even colder than his gaze.

His coldness made Beauty Wu look a little embarrassed.

“Weren’t you going for three years?”

“My teacher’s wife’s health is not good. She had an operation and I came back to take a look.”

“Oh.”

She asked one question and he answered another. Other than that, there was nothing else to say during the reunion.

The distance from the fourth floor to the first floor was longer than Beauty Wu had taken to enter Wei Shuyi’s heart.

There were so many people in the elevator, and they were all squeezed together, so it was inevitable that their bodies would touch. The elevator finally reached the first floor, and everyone near the door was walking out. The two people in the innermost part of the lift wanted time to pass faster and slower at the same time.

Finally, the crowd dispersed.

There were only the two of them left in the elevator.

Wei Shuyi turned around and strode out of the elevator, leaving Beauty Wu with a cold back view.

Beauty Wu picked up the things on the ground and walked out of the elevator.

Xu Yingying and Yuan Jun stood on the first floor of the mall. She asked Yuan Jun, “Why did Brother Wei suddenly run upstairs?” They had taken the elevator downstairs and were about to leave. They did not know if Wei Shuyi had dropped something or if he had suddenly seen something. He actually ran up the stairs without saying a word. His speed was especially fast.

Yuan Jun was even more confused than Xu Yingying.

They waited for a while and saw Wei Shuyi walking over from the elevator.

“Brother Wei, why did you go upstairs?”

Wei Shuyi didn’t smile. He said, “I forgot to take something.”

“No wonder.”

The three of them walked out of the mall, but Yuan Jun glanced at Wei Shuyi’s empty hands and asked him, “Did you take your things?”

Wei Shuyi’s expression darkened and he said, “I lost them.”

Beauty Wu carried two large bags and walked to the bus stop to wait for the bus. She leaned against the bus sign and stared at the asphalt road in front of her. Her vision gradually turned blurry.

The bus arrived and Beauty Wu got on the bus.

There were no seats in the car, so she could only stand. She, who was wearing high heels, swayed along with every turn. She looked out of the bus window to see the scenery. After a long time, she murmured in an almost despairing tone, “He’s back…” Sadly, he did not contact her.

Even though she knew that she was the one who had caused the current situation and that she shouldn’t blame anyone, Beauty Wu still felt terrible.

When she reached the nursing home, she composed herself and walked in.

The quiet nursing home had just been built not long ago, and the facilities were not bad.

Seeing Beauty Wu, Song Lei’s parents were especially excited.

Chen Jianping’s mother’s health was getting worse and worse. She heard that she fainted in the ward yesterday and was sent to the hospital. Beauty Wu chatted with Father Song and Mother Song in the nursing home before taking a taxi to the hospital to visit Chen Jianping’s mother.

Chen Jianping’s family was poor to begin with, and he was the only child in the family. His father died early, and his mother finally raised him to be a police officer, but…

Mother Chen, who had lost her son, aged very quickly. Her already weak body was getting worse and worse. The doctor said that she did not have much time left to live, and it might only be for two months.

When Beauty Wu saw Mother Chen, she was sleeping with an oxygen mask.

She had uremia and her lower body was swollen. Her face was sallow and her upper body was especially thin.

Beauty Wu did not disturb her and left the ward after accompanying her for a while.

After returning home, Beauty Wu was free and inevitably thought of Wei Shuyi.

The more she thought about him, the more painful it was.

Beauty Wu could not sleep that night.

She couldn’t help but drink a little. She was afraid that she would call Wei Shuyi when she was drunk, so she turned off her phone. After she was drunk, she fell asleep on the sofa.

The next morning, Beauty Wu pressed a cold towel to her face for a few minutes before she regained her senses.

She was rarely distracted at work. When she got off work, she habitually opened Wei Shuyi’s Weibo and realized that he had uploaded a post.

They had broken up for more than a year. This was the only post she saw from Wei Shuyi. The update time was twenty minutes ago.

Brother Wei: “Leaving. Picture attached. Jpg.”

He sent a photo of his suitcase at the airport.

Beauty Wu stood on the balcony and looked up at the sky. Thinking that it was still the same sky as Wei Shuyi, she felt a little comforted.

After returning to America, Wei Shuyi was busy again.

By the time he finished his work and was able to relax for a short time, it was the end of June.

The weather was very hot. He returned to the rented house and turned on the air conditioner immediately before going to take a shower. After taking a shower, the house was already cold. Wei Shuyi turned on his computer before walking out of the kitchen to cook for himself.

He planned to eat potato shredded noodles at night.

He spent more than ten minutes making a bowl of noodles. Even though he lived alone, Wei Shuyi still had to eat obediently in the dining room alone. After he finished eating, he washed the bowls and wiped the table. After he washed his hands, Wei Shuyi went to the study room to play with the computer.

This was the common problem of doctors. They were more or less obsessed with cleanliness.

He opened the software and wanted to download two games to play. He was a little dazed when he saw a fat penguin wearing a red scarf on the software ranking page.

QQ…

When he was in his teens, this software was very popular.

Since he had nothing to do, Wei Shuyi downloaded QQ. He still remembered his QQ password. In order to avoid chaos, all his games had the same password. He logged into QQ and realized that there were dozens of friends online. They were all his high school classmates.

Wei Shuyi looked at his profile and saw the messages he sent in his second year of middle school.

What—

The snow was white because it had forgotten its former color.

I think you’re happy because you can choose to love or not love me. And I can only choose to love or love you more.

I could pretend it didn’t matter.

Sadness did not need to be disclosed to obtain sympathy.

Wei Shuyi blushed inexplicably…
