Chapter 146: Chapter 120: Only Escape

Ji Sang called Su Ge, who happened to be driving nearby. When the call connected and Su Ge heard no sound, he directly asked

“Ah Shang?”

“Um”

Su Ge breathed a sigh of relief

“I’ll be there soon, just wait for me obediently.”

Ji Sang hummed in response.

After hanging up, she realized that her family must have noticed her absence and asked Sister about it.

Ji Sang dialed the number she knew by heart, and as soon as she pressed it, a simple and familiar melody played. Ji Sang’s body stiffened for a moment before she turned around.

Fu Yisi seemed to have run over, with his hair slightly messy at the forehead. His deep black eyes became clear due to the summer night wind.

The man lowered his eyes, suppressing all emotions, stepped toward Ji Sang, and held her in his embrace.

“You came out wearing so little, huh? You haven’t recovered yet.”

As he spoke, his hand was already on Ji Sang’s forehead. Feeling the slightly warm temperature, his brows furrowed, and he held Ji Sang even tighter.

Ji Sang leaned into his embrace, looking up to ask softly,

“Are you done with the hospital matters?”

That afternoon when Fu Yisi received a call from the hospital, she was actually half-awake and had listened to the entire call in a daze.

Fu Yisi nodded slightly.

He didn’t ask why she came out without saying a word, nor did he ask what she was doing here.

He just tenderly tidied her hair.

“Shall we go eat first? You must be worn out.”

Ji Sang obediently nodded.

What Su Ge, who rushed over later, saw was this scene.

A pale and delicate little woman leaning into a man’s embrace, looking like a languid, sick Persian cat, exceedingly pitiable.

After receiving Ji Sang’s affirmative response, Fu Yisi nodded slightly to Min Yunwen as a signal, then supported Ji Sang to walk outside.

Behind them, Min Yunwen squinted slightly and clicked his tongue.

“She acts like this in front of her husband?”

This… She was completely different from the Ji Sang he knew!

…

Marriage really is an incredible thing.

Su Ge raised an eyebrow.

“It’s also my first time seeing this.”

…

First, Fu Yisi returned a call to Ji Hanwen, then took Ji Sang back to the Yujing Apartment.

After seating Ji Sang on the sofa, the man went into the kitchen, clearly preparing to make dinner for Ji Sang personally. Ji Sang’s fever hadn’t fully subsided yet, so Fu Yisi, feeling uneasy, checked on her every few minutes.

Sensing his gaze, Ji Sang simply moved her chair to the kitchen doorway.

“I’ll keep you company here.”

Fu Yisi frowned at first.

“It’s smoky here.”

But because he was also uneasy about Ji Sang staying alone on the sofa, the man picked her up with the chair and placed her outside the door.

“You stay here.”

After ensuring her space was set, Fu Yisi closed the door.

As he turned around, Ji Sang suddenly smiled.

It was her first smile after Yang Jun’s death, on this summer night touched by a cool breeze, in their little home with just her and Fu Yisi.

No one knew.

Only the breeze brushing past her lips and the moon outside the window knew.

Ji Sang looked tenderly at the man busily working in the kitchen, reminded of the words her mother had told her. Even though her mother was gone, she still had her father, and… Fu Yisi.

Indeed, life must go on.

Her life was still long, and she and Fu Yisi still had a long road ahead.

Overwhelmed by emotions, Ji Sang’s eyes slightly teared up, and she pushed open the door and went in to directly hug the man’s waist. Fu Yisi paused his movements, instinctively turning off the stove.

He lowered his head to look at Ji Sang, who buried her face in his back, and asked softly,

“What’s wrong?”

Ji Sang shook her head, unwilling to speak.

Fu Yisi sighed lightly, washed and dried his hands, then pulled her away to embrace her face-to-face.

His lips occasionally planted a kiss on Ji Sang’s forehead.

“It’s okay, I’m here.”

Thinking she was still in pain from losing her mother, the man gently patted her back like comforting a baby.

The two hugged like this for a few minutes, when Ji Sang suddenly said,

“Fu Yisi, thank you.”

Fu Yisi’s hand on her back paused for a moment, then slightly loosened his grip on Ji Sang and lifted her chin.

“What did you say?”

There was moisture in Ji Sang’s eyes, and the corners of her eyes were faintly red with fever.

“Thank you, Fu Yisi.”

She didn’t know what had come over her.

After losing an important family member, drifting in boundless darkness, when you encounter a ray of light, you instinctively grasp it tightly.

And now, Fu Yisi was that ray of light.

She wasn’t one to cry; she never had been, but now, she couldn’t control her emotions.

“Thank you… I…”

“It’s okay.”

Fu Yisi interrupted her, raised his hand to wipe away the tears that had unintentionally streamed down, and softly kissed her eyelids as if he couldn’t bear to see her eyes red.

“Ji Sang, who am I?”

“Fu Yisi.”

“Who am I to you?”

“…Husband?”

“So, don’t thank me, Ji Sang. Be bold, rely on me without worry, and let it be this way for the rest of our lives, understand?”

Ji Sang: ….

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, dampened by tears.

Her mother was right; she was incredibly lucky to be in love with Fu Yisi.

“I understand.”

Ji Sang tiptoed up and gently kissed the corner of Fu Yisi’s mouth.

…

The next day, Ji Sang brushed off her previous melancholy, woke up early especially to prepare breakfast for Fu Yisi. When it was ready, Fu Yisi had just come downstairs.

“You’re awake, breakfast is ready.”

Ji Sang’s lips curved slightly, the morning sunlight warm and cozy, making her smile exceptionally beautiful.

Fu Yisi was momentarily dazzled.

It had been over a month since he had seen Ji Sang like this.

However, it merely lasted two to three seconds before the man furrowed his brows.

“I should make breakfast; why don’t you rest properly?”

While speaking, Fu Yisi walked over to Ji Sang and checked her temperature with his hand.

Ji Sang placed her hand on his.

“I’m already better, I’m fine. Don’t you have to go to the hospital early today?”

Last night after dinner, Fu Yisi received a call from the hospital.

He had to attend a very important meeting.

“There’s still time to make breakfast.”

Fu Yisi made Ji Sang sit down and warmed a cup of milk for her.

When they were almost done eating, Ji Sang slowly wiped her mouth and casually mentioned,

“The TV station is quite busy; I’ll drop by later.”

The man paused, looked up at her gently.

“You can’t go.”

“Why?”

“Your body hasn’t fully recovered.”

Ji Sang: …..

“But I don’t feel bad anymore, and besides, it’s my job.”

Fu Yisi wiped his hands and looked at her.

“You’re not fit to work now, hmm? I’ll be back right after the meeting to be with you.”

“Why am I unfit?”

Ji Sang pursed her lips slightly, and her tone became a bit louder.

But Fu Yisi’s expression darkened.

“Ji Sang, both of us know.”

Eager to go to work — what is it for, really?

It’s only an escape.

The man sighed softly.

“You know I won’t have peace of mind.”
