Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 151 Decision
Carrying the last dish of mushroom soup, Su Ning brought it to the table and put it down. She noticed his clothes were still dripping wet and frowned.

They considered everything from daily necessities and kitchen utensils to other items, but they completely forgot about the change of clothes.

"I'm not cold. I'm sweating and feeling warm all over after working."

Thinking that she was frowning because she was worried that she would catch a cold, Yan Bei turned slightly to the side and explained in a deliberately relaxed tone.

Even after washing, the lingering odor still clung to her. She lowered her eyes and forced a faint smile. "Sorry."

The apology came out of nowhere, but the quick-witted Su Ning understood it immediately.

For some reason, it was as if she had been stung by his words and his smile, causing her heart to involuntarily clench, feeling a slight sting and an indescribable bitterness.

I took a deep breath and, instead of choosing a seat a little further away from him, I naturally sat down in the closest spot next to him.

"This is the first time I've cooked matsutake mushrooms. I've heard that these mushrooms, which are only found in this area, are especially delicious. You should try them!"

"it is good."

He tightened his grip on the chopsticks, then slowly relaxed his tense body and ate the dark-colored mushroom that she had put in his bowl.

He will probably never forget that taste and that feeling.

"delicious."

"Right, I think it's pretty good too. It seems like exchanging a bunch of milk candies for it was worth it."

With his eyes narrowed, revealing a small dimple at the corner of his mouth, Su Ning saw that his tense expression had returned to normal, and her smile became even brighter. "By the way..."

"Yanbei, I'm going back to the city tomorrow to take care of some things, and I'll also pack up your things and bring them over in the next trip."

"it is good."

Yanbei rarely objected to her decisions, especially since she was going through all that trouble for him.

"What's with that look? I really have something to do."

"Ok, I know."

He put down his chopsticks, took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed them to her. "These are the keys to my dorm and the research lab. The other things are not important. If you can, just bring me the box by the bed in the bedroom and the file box under the desk in the research lab."

"Okay, I've got it."

Taking the key he handed her and putting it away, Su Ning picked up her bowl and chopsticks, eating her food while thinking about something.

When she gets back to the city tomorrow, besides picking up Yanbei's clothes and belongings, she needs to check if Brother Zhang has returned and go to the factory to find Director Liang.

Now that I've decided to go back and become a barefoot doctor, I need to make these arrangements in advance.

As for the letter of introduction and certificate issued by the old man to register and train at the training institution in the county, that can be put off until later, after everything is settled.

"Is something wrong with Suning?"

"Oh? No, I was just thinking about work."

Nodding with some skepticism, Yan Bei gave her a deep look. "I'll be fine here for now, so you don't need to worry about me. If anything comes up, just take care of your own business first. Work is the priority."

"Okay, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

At this moment, neither of them realized that their interactions and conversations resembled those of a harmonious and loving couple who discussed things together.

After the meal, Yanbei, as always, insisted on cleaning up, washing pots and pans, and cleaning the kitchen. Although she wasn't very skilled at it, she did it with great care and attention.

……

A train bound for Shanghai.

Because they were in a hurry to get back, Fu Jiaming and Luo Shuangshuang, who had not been able to buy sleeper berths, could only sit in hard seats for the time being and see if they could upgrade to sleeper berths along the way.

The carriage was crowded and smelly; even going to the restroom felt like a battle, leaving you drenched in sweat.

This was the first time Luo Shuangshuang had traveled so far on a slow, green-skinned train. Her face looked pale after the past two days and nights, and her lips were almost bloodless.

"Shuangshuang, what do you think?"

"It's nothing, I just feel a bit stuffy and can't breathe properly."

I tenderly wiped away the fine sweat that had reappeared on her forehead.

Fu Jiaming was anxious about the situation at home and worried about his partner, so he hardly slept at all.

Her eyes were bloodshot, topped with two dark circles, and her chin was covered in bluish stubble. She wasn't much better looking than her.

"I'm sorry, Shuangshuang."

Such a big thing happened so soon after they started dating. Bringing her home for the first time was definitely not the most appropriate time. He didn't know what kind of situation he would encounter without the proper welcome. He felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing that even the corners of his eyes were starting to redden, and having witnessed his heart-wrenching cries before boarding the train, I was truly afraid of his tears.

She quietly reached out and grasped the back of his hand, giving it a slight shake. "Don't talk nonsense. You're my boyfriend. Would it be right for me not to be there for you at a time like this?"

"Don't worry, your uncle, aunt, and Brother Fu will definitely get better."

"Hmm." Both of them tacitly avoided the older sister, Fu Qianqian.

Because such pain, once exposed, would be so intense that it would cause him to bleed and cry uncontrollably, I was afraid he would lose all his spirit and be unable to bear it any longer.

It wouldn't be good to be seen in public. Seeing that he had calmed down, Luo Shuangshuang quickly withdrew her small hand and subconsciously protected her bag in front of her again.

There are medicines that Ning Baogai specifically asked her to bring here; they are all life-saving items. Even if she loses her money and tickets, she can't afford to lose them.

Hopefully, Uncle Fu, who is still unconscious, can hold on until they arrive, and that his condition will not worsen. We also hope that the medicine Ning Baogai gave us this time will be just as miraculous.

"Shuangshuang, wait here for a moment. I'll go ask the train attendant again to see if we can upgrade to a sleeper berth."

"it is good."

……

Shanghai, the Second Hospital.

Ma Xiuzhen had just returned from the hospital cafeteria with a boxed lunch in her hand.

For many years of marriage, she had been well protected by Fu Rong, but in just a few days, he had worn down her former softness and hardened her, transforming her from a dependent little woman into a strong woman who supported her husband and son.

"Dan'er!"

Pushing open the door, Ma Xiuzhen saw her eldest son hanging halfway down the hospital bed. She quickly walked into the room, put down what she was holding, and lifted his legs to carry him back to the bed.

"mom."

"Yes, Mom is here."

Fu Jiadan, with half his face buried in the pillow, closed his eyes and wiped away the tears that had slid down his cheeks. He composed himself before turning to her with a smile, "I didn't mean to..."

"Mom knows, Mom knows."

She patted his arm reassuringly, her eyes red but she held back her tears. She knew that her son must have tried to stand up again just now.

But she... could only pretend she knew nothing.

It wasn't just because of her son's pride, but also because she didn't want to shatter his last glimmer of hope.

Even if the wound reopens, you can only carefully apply the medicine while he is asleep.

"The cafeteria has your favorite mini pumpkins today, Dan'er, why don't you eat some later?"

"Okay, Mom, I'll definitely eat more."

Taking advantage of the change of topic, Ma Xiuzhen turned to get her lunchbox, subtly wiping the corner of her eye before returning with a gentle smile.

"Then you eat first, Mom will go check on your dad and then come back to keep you company later."

"Mom, don't treat me like a two or three-year-old child. Don't worry, just take care of Dad first. If something happens to me, there are so many doctors and nurses here."

"Okay, okay, you're not two or three years old, you're twenty or thirty."

Seeing him smiling as he struggled to pick up the spoon, my heart ached, and I tentatively asked, "How about Mom feeds you?"

"No need, I can manage. I'll just eat slowly to digest properly. Mom, you should go now. Dad needs someone to stay with him."

She was once so proud, and even her beloved family didn't want her to see her in such a sorry state.

"…it is good."

Trying hard not to let her voice tremble, Ma Xiuzhen dared not look any further and hurriedly left the ward.

When she was all alone in the long corridor, she let the tears stream down her face.

"Aunt Ma."

"Xuanxuan?"

She quickly turned away to wipe her tears, trying her best to maintain a polite smile. "Xuanxuan, it's good that you're here. Jia Dan has been waiting for you. Come on, I'll take you there..."

"Aunt Ma...I'm sorry."

Avoiding her outstretched hand that tried to grab him, Ren Xuan lowered his head, not daring to look her in the eye.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally handed over the jade pendant he was holding.

This was a gift given to me by my future mother-in-law, Ma Xiuzhen, after the Fu and Ren families got engaged.

"Are you trying to break off the engagement with Dan'er? Is this your decision or the decision of the entire Ren family?"

"Yes, yes... We're sorry, Aunt Ma, I... I had no choice, I'm sorry."

Ren Xuan thought of what his parents had said, and of the current state of the Fu family: Fu Rong, who might kick the bucket at any moment; Fu Jia Dan, who was completely useless; and Fu Jia Ming, who only knew how to follow Yan Jia Qi around and was utterly hopeless…

The future of the Fu family is predictable.

After bowing and apologizing, Ren Xuan said no more, covered her mouth, and ran away quickly with a sad expression.
