Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 395 Ming Shi Sui's Troubles

Although it was supposed to be afternoon tea, it was getting late, so Yu Ru had the aunt bring out a few dishes of appetizers to eat with Ming Shi, while she sent everyone else away.

Ming Shisui sat down next to Yu Ru, looking her up and down, left and right. "Baby, you can actually talk! You told me on the phone that you could talk, and I feel like I'm dreaming. It's so wonderful! Your voice is so beautiful, it's like you're singing." By the end of his words, Ming Shisui was completely captivated, as if he had been mesmerized by Yu Ru.

Yu Ru smiled slightly, picked up the water on the table, took a sip, and then said, "Actually, my voice isn't broken. I've always been able to speak. It's just that I couldn't speak in front of people because of psychological pressure. I encountered an emergency a while ago and was forced to speak again."

"Hehe, baby, I told you you're lucky. You always manage to escape danger and stay lucky. You're incredibly lucky."

"Yes, I'm quite lucky, but I always end up half-dead."

Upon hearing this, Ming Shi stopped laughing. She carefully examined Yu Ru's expression and asked, "Baby, where did you go for those three months? I couldn't find you. I was afraid I was going to lose you."

“I was kidnapped by my enemies. The guards took my phone. I couldn’t eat or sleep well there, and I was beaten so badly that I lost weight. I just got back a few days ago.” Yu Ru said calmly, as if she were talking about something insignificant. She used serving chopsticks to put some cucumber salad into Ming Shi Sui’s bowl, and then said, “This cucumber is delicious. You should try it.”

Ming Shi looked at Yu Ru, speechless, unable to voice some questions. In her heart, being kidnapped was a painful experience, and she didn't want to reopen Yu Ru's wounds, so she didn't ask, changing the subject, "Baby, so...can your internal injuries be healed? You won't...you won't die, will you?"

"I won't die." Yu Ru looked up, a faint smile spreading across her lips. "What are you thinking? If I were to die, I wouldn't be sitting here chatting with you; I'd be lying in bed giving you my last words."

Ming Shi grinned. "That's good, baby. I'll run errands for you if you want to buy anything in the future. You just need to rest and recover at home. Oh, right, I brought back some gifts for you. There's a whole suitcase full of them! Take a look later."

Yu Ru smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go watch it after I'm full." As she spoke, she took a big bite of cold bean sprout salad, swallowed it, and then stretched out her hand to Ming Shi Sui and said, "Give me your phone, I'll add Yunji Star's satellite number for you. If you can't find it in the future, you can ask him."

“Oh…oh…” Ming Shi took out his phone and handed it to Yu Ru.

Yu Ru operated the phone for a while, then returned it to her and asked, "Did you chat with Liu Bujing when he picked you up today?"

“Yes, we talked quite a lot!” Ming Shi nodded.

"What did you talk about?"

“Hmm…” Ming Shi touched her chin with two fingers, recalling her conversation with Liu Bujing, and replied, “We talked about why he didn’t want to be a star anymore. I asked him if he was going to be your bodyguard and what he wanted to do in the future. He said he wanted to open a flower shop. He also told me his story as a star, about those crazy fans, sasaeng fans, and acting.”

Yu Ru's smile deepened. "You two got along so well on your first meeting. What do you think of him?"

Ming Shi covered half of his face with his hands, seemingly shy. "Hehe, yeah, he answers all my questions without getting impatient at all. I think he's a great guy, the best guy I've ever chatted with."

How is he as your boyfriend?

"Huh?" Ming Shisui stared blankly at Yu Ru, as if she didn't understand what she was saying. "He's my girlfriend? My boyfriend?"

Yu Ru nodded, "Didn't you tell me that your parents found you a few blind dates? They were all pretty good, but I think you deserve better. Liu Bujing is the better one I found for you."

Afterwards, she explained Liu Bujing's basic situation to Ming Shisui in detail.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?" After saying so much, Yu Ru's throat was a little sore. She picked up the throat lozenge on the table, took a sip, and continued, "Putting everything else aside, Liu Bujing is so handsome and his character is alright. It's worth being with him. Having a child with his stunning good looks would be a treat for the eyes. But it's all up to you. I've found a few others, I'll show them to you later."

“Baby, I…I actually quite like him. I had a lot of fun chatting with him today.” Ming Shi lowered her eyes, suddenly losing her cheerful mood from the conversation. “But he’s so handsome, he was a star, and he has almost 30 million in money. I’m so fat and not pretty. Would he like me?”

Yu Ru glanced at her, then lowered her head to stir her cold dish with peanut sauce. "Don't belittle yourself. You're not bad-looking. Even though you're a bit chubby now, you still look good. You'll look even better if you lose weight. Your parents have government jobs, you have a respectable job with a million-dollar annual salary, and you're highly educated, have a high salary, and a good personality. You're more than a match for him. I think if I set you two up, he'll feel unworthy of you. He's quite insecure. Besides, I used my connections to get those tens of millions for him. Apart from his good looks and talent, all his other excellent qualities were given to him by me. You don't need to think so highly of him. I've paved his bright future. If I make him want to be with you, he'll definitely want to be with you."

Instead of answering, Ming Shi asked, "Baby, does your throat hurt? Let's not talk for now. You rest and we'll eat something first. After you eat, you can do sign language for me. We'll talk properly later..."

Yu Ru's throat was indeed uncomfortable. She nodded and didn't continue speaking.

……

at night,

Because Yu Ru came to the guest room and slept with Ming Shi, the two of them were currently on the same bed.

Yu Ru lay on her side in bed playing on her phone, while Ming Shi Sui sat beside her, giving her a massage. Ming Shi Sui gently patted Yu Ru's calves and thighs with her hands in a choppy motion, massaging vigorously and occasionally checking Yu Ru's expression. "Baby, does it feel good?"

"Ah."

Under her massage, Yu Ru unknowingly became sleepy, dropped her phone, and closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Ming Shi carefully picked up her phone and put it aside, then covered her with a blanket. After doing all this, she also crawled into the blanket and went to sleep.

However, she couldn't fall asleep even after lying there for a long time. In the darkness, Ming Shi stared blankly at the gauze curtains above, feeling sad as she thought about what she had said to Yu Ru that day. The gap between her and Yu Ru was too great. Yu Ru seemed omnipotent, and nothing could stump her. As for her, besides teaching and tutoring children, she knew nothing. Every time she encountered trouble, Yu Ru would help her solve it, even arranging her marriage perfectly. The man Yu Ru had chosen for her, Liu Bujing, was handsome, spoke pleasantly, and was polite; she liked him.

This wonderful blind date was arranged for her by Yu Ru. Yu Ru has always been selfless and devoted, trying to make her life better. Yet, she has no ability to help Yu Ru in any way. She's so useless.

Ming Shisui couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Why are you sighing?" Yu Ru suddenly asked.
