Marriage in crisis

I seemed to have had a long dream.

I was so long, but I don’t know what I dreamed about? In the dream, I seemed to be tied up, and it hurt so much!

I moaned and slowly opened my eyes. I thought it was because I stayed up too late and slept in the hotel.

But the unpleasant smell in my nose made me a little doubtful, so I tried hard to open my eyes.

What came into view was Wei Qingchuan's face.

I turned my head and looked around, and asked, "Where am I? Where is Chi Xi?"

Wei Qingchuan smiled at me, a little unnaturally, "You... fainted, are you in the hospital?"

"Fainted?" I murmured, concentrating on thinking hard.

I seemed to see Chi Xi again in front of my eyes. She looked up, and I remember the determination in her eyes, and then she fell.

I was shocked, and suddenly looked at Wei Qingchuan and asked, "Where is Chi Xi?"

Wei Qingchuan reached out and pressed my shoulder. "She... is still looking?"

I struggled violently and tried to sit up, but was held down by Wei Qingchuan. I was filled with astonishment. "...Still looking? You mean, you haven't found it yet?"

My heart skipped a beat, and I asked with a trembling voice, "What time is it now?"

Wei Qingchuan checked the time and said, "It's almost dawn!"

I still struggled for a bit and tried to sit up, "Don't hold me down, I have to go find Chi Xi..."

"You can't move!" Wei Qingchuan showed an unprecedented stubbornness. He still pressed me down with a very bad look on his face.

I stared into his eyes and pressed the issue, "Tell me the truth, has she... not been found yet?"

I made a sharp turn and changed my original question, "Did something happen to her?" into a question.

"Well! We didn't find it!" Wei Qingchuan said to me calmly.

"Then go find her. Take some people with you and let them look for her... Why are you stopping me here?" I shouted at Wei Qingchuan loudly, my voice a little hysterical, "... She hasn't been found yet, why did you bring me here? She fell into the water, and there is... There is something in the water... But you are guarding here..."

For the first time, I yelled at Wei Qingchuan loudly to express my anger, then I struggled to get up and was about to get out of bed, "If you don't go, I will go. I have to find her and bring her back. Who told you to come back..."

Wei Qingchuan got nervous when he saw how irritable I was. He hugged me without saying anything, patted my back, and comforted me in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I'll look for it again. Just listen to me..."

Fear filled my heart. It had been so long, and it was almost dawn! How could I not find it?

I remember that it was just getting dark at that time.

"Why haven't we found it for so long? Why haven't we found it for so long?" I looked at Wei Qingchuan, unable to control my emotions. "You can't give up... It's been so long... Ah..."

I finally broke down and burst into tears, muttering, "...she let go, just a little bit, she let go, she looked up at me, and I knew...Chi Xi...husband, we must find her..."

Wei Qingchuan saw me collapse and reached out to ring the bell in panic. I had cried so much that my brain was deprived of oxygen. This was the first time I felt the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. What if...

No, I've already said that I'll prepare a wedding for her when I get back. Chen Lang's silly look clearly shows that he's been waiting for this day. We picked up Ting Nan and went back...

I felt a commotion around me and someone was pressing me. This must be a dream, a nightmare!

When I woke up again, it was already daybreak. I didn't know how much time had passed.

The sunlight was blinding, so I turned my head and tried to turn over, only to find that my body felt very heavy and aching all over.

"Mom! You're awake... Are you awake?" I heard Sanbao's voice.

There were also other people's voices, "Awake, yes awake!"

I tried hard to open my eyes, and what caught my eye was a group of people.

In particular, I saw a face of my grandmother.

I suddenly opened my eyes and shouted in surprise, "Grandma..."

The old lady held me down with her hand and said, "Just lie still and don't move."

I glanced at the people around me, including She Hui, Bing Qing, Bing Qian, Luo Yin, Qiu Meiying, my mother-in-law, Zhao Gang's sister-in-law... but there was no one...

"Chi Xi she..." As soon as I said this, tears started to flow down my cheeks, "I..."

Grandma patted my head and said, "Girl, you have to be strong. Our people are still searching and will not give up!"

I nodded with sobs, "...I must find her and bring her back..."
