Chapter 311 - 284 Very Good Very Good
Finally, the news of Brother Rong’s death was confirmed, and Chu Yu stopped her endless searching.
She obediently let Huan Yuan and Guan Canghai take her to live in Luoyang at the same residence where she and Brother Rong had once lived near Guan Canghai. She quietly recuperated, kept a very regular schedule for her meals and daily activities, she did not shed tears or cry, and... she did not speak.
The one who most clearly saw the change in Chu Yu was Huan Yuan. He would rather have seen Chu Yu go mad and cry bitterly, hoping she would eventually let go after the outburst, rather than see her like this.
Chu Yu was so quiet she hardly seemed alive. Sometimes, she would even manage a faint smile, the corners of her mouth lifting ever so slightly. Yet her eyes were deep and coldly silent, like the endless dark night of midwinter.
Huan Yuan did not know how to console her and could only devote himself more attentively to her care in everyday life.
A few days later, an unexpected guest arrived at the door, also an old friend from the past.
Upon seeing the visitor, Huan Yuan said nothing, only remarking, "You’re here to see Chu Yu, right? Follow me."
Chu Yu sat in a wheelchair, basking alone in the backyard garden under the sun. The spring light was bright and tender, but Chu Yu could not feel its warmth. She merely gazed silently at the sunshine as if looking into another world.
Footsteps approached from behind, and Chu Yu naturally turned her head, first seeing Huan Yuan in front of her, followed by the person behind Huan Yuan--a handsome young man with big eyes, still bearing an immature air, but as tall as an adult.
The young man looked somewhat familiar. Chu Yu could not be bothered to recall further, assuming Huan Yuan would introduce him since he had brought him.
Stopping before Chu Yu, Huan Yuan sighed, "Liu Sang, ever since Brother Rong’s body was found, she has been just like this."
