Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"I'm fine. I was just shot in the shoulder blade. I had surgery in time. I'll be fine after a while of rest. Stop crying. I'm hungry. I haven't eaten enough in days. Go get me something to eat."

"Oh, okay, I'll go get you some food." Liu Dani gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly.

"Congcong, stay here with your dad. I'll go get some food."

"Aunt Liu, let me go! You stay with Dad." Yu Congcong was a little worried. She was afraid that Liu Dani had never been to the hospital and would not be able to find the place.

"I'll go. You're tired from riding your bike. You can accompany your dad and take a break."

"Okay then! Go slowly, don't rush, and ask someone if you can't find the place." Yu Congcong thought that her legs were still a little weak and she didn't have any strength, so she didn't insist. She still gave instructions with concern. Although Yu Congcong has become younger, she has also spent ten years here. Subconsciously, she still has the habits of her previous life and is a little nagging.

"Aunt Liu, let me go!" Zhang Yun tried to take the lunch box from Liu Dani, but she dodged him.

"No need, you should take a rest too, you are more tired." With that, Liu Dani walked out of the ward.

Zhang Yun wanted to chase him out, but Yu Dazhuang stopped him: "Zhang Yun, come and sit down. Chat with your uncle."

"Hey." Zhang Yun walked to the bed and sat down.

"Zhang Yun, you are in your twenties now, right?" Yu Dazhuang asked. Before Yu Dazhuang went on the mission, he noticed that the boy looked at his daughter in a strange way.

"Well, twenty-six." Zhang Yun replied.

"Well, it's time to get married. I heard from your sister-in-law Fu Yu that you have a girl you like?"

"Well, do you have a girl you like? Who is she? How come I don't know?" Yu Congcong asked three times curiously.

"Congcong, don't interrupt me. Why are you, a kid, asking so many questions?"

"Dad, I'm not a child." Yu Congcong shook Yu Dazhuang's uninjured hand coquettishly.

"Okay, you're not a kid anymore, let's talk about Zhang Yun first."

"Okay!" Yu Congcong was also curious about what kind of girl caught Zhang Yun's eye.

Two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, looked straight at Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun was stared at by these two pairs of eyes, and he was very nervous. He didn't know how to answer. He didn't know where to put his hands, and even sweat appeared on his forehead. Zhang Yun mustered up his courage and wanted to tell them that he liked Yu Congcong, hoping to compete fairly with Tiezhu. However, thinking of his background and class, he lost his temper again.

Yu Dazhuang was also relieved. He was also afraid that Zhang Yun would say that he liked Congcong. He didn't want Congcong to marry Zhang Yun, because Zhang Yun had Zhang Bao's blood in his veins. Yunniang's death was caused by his uncle's gang, and had nothing to do with Zhang Yun. But he still couldn't accept Congcong and Zhang Yun being together, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Zhang Yun, is it that the girl doesn't like you?" Yu Dazhuang asked cautiously.

"Yes." Zhang Yun replied dejectedly.

"Zhang Yun, don't be sad. We will meet many people and many things in our lives. Some people can only remain in the depths of your memory, adding color to your youth and allowing you to grow.

You will also meet someone who is more suitable for you and will spend your life with you. This person will be able to share the shortcomings of life with you and bring you peace of mind for the rest of your life.

So, if she doesn't like you, just give up! Growth allows us to learn to let go and face vulnerability and pain, so that we can become stronger and face the crises and regrets of future life. "Yu Dazhuang persuaded earnestly, hoping to dispel the slightest hope in Zhang Yun's heart.

Yu Congcong listened to Yu Dazhuang's persuasion to Zhang Yun and thought of her previous life. If she had let go decisively in her previous life, would she not have become someone she hated? Perhaps both of them would have lived a better life.

Well, it’s all in the book, so don’t think about the past anymore, lest it affect your mood.

"Brother Zhang Yun, if the other party really doesn't have that kind of interest in you, just listen to my dad and we'll introduce you to someone better." Yu Congcong jumped out of her thoughts and joined the persuasion. She didn't know that her persuasion was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Zhang Yun looked at Yu Congcong and nodded slowly with difficulty.

Yu Congcong sensed Zhang Yun’s sadness and patted his shoulder comfortingly.

"Brother Zhang Yun, a real man will never have trouble finding a wife. You will meet someone better in the future."

Zhang Yun looked at Yu Congcong and said sadly, "There is no better one."

Yu Dazhuang saw that the more Yu Congcong persuaded Zhang Yun, the more sad he became, which was like rubbing salt into his wounds. So he sent Yu Congcong away and said, "Congcong, go see why your Aunt Liu hasn't come back yet."

"Oh." Yu Congcong stood up and walked out.

"Zhang Yun, once you've adjusted your mood, uncle will introduce you to girls from comrades' families. They're all good girls."

Zhang Yun nodded but didn't answer. He was afraid that if he spoke, his voice would choke.

Yu Congcong slowly walked out of the ward and suddenly met Aunt Liu at the corner.

"Aunt Liu, are you lost?"

"No, I waited there for a while and happened to see the chef in the cafeteria making chicken soup for himself. So I bought a bowl from him and gave it to your father as a good nourishment." Aunt Liu put her mouth close to Yu Congcong's ear and whispered.

There was a glimmer of surprise in Yu Congcong's eyes.

"Really?" Yu Congcong also lowered her voice and asked anxiously.

"Yes, really. I have already discussed it with him. During the time your father is in the hospital, I will go to his place to buy nutritious meals for your father."

Aunt Liu was so amazing! She was originally wondering where to get some meat for her father to eat! Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu easily got it done the first time she went to the canteen.

The two walked back to the ward happily, and Zhang Yun gradually calmed down. Just as he was about to leave, Yu Congcong refused and insisted that he go to the guesthouse together after dinner.

Yu Congcong was extremely persistent about this, and Zhang Yun had no way to stop her. He originally wanted to avoid Yu Congcong so that he could adjust his condition, but it didn't work. He could only stay and eat a dinner that was like chewing wax and tasteless.

"Congcong, after dinner, you and Zhang Yun can go to the guesthouse to rest. Your dad will be taken care of by Aunt Liu."

Yu Congcong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, without raising any objections. She was already grown up, and it was inconvenient for her to take care of her father, and she couldn't provide much help if she stayed.

After Yu Congcong and Zhang Yun finished their meal in silence, she quietly cleaned the lunch box. Then she went to the doctor's office to learn more about her father's condition. Then she rented a thermos and went to the water room to get some boiled water before leaving with Zhang Yun.

After they left the hospital, Yu Congcong started chatting with Zhang Yun, but Zhang Yun was absent-minded and his answers were irrelevant. Yu Congcong knew that Zhang Yun was in a bad mood, and she wanted to ease his sadness by chatting, but her method didn't work at all, so she stopped chatting and stayed silent with Zhang Yun.
