Chapter 251 Waiting for the Flowers to Bloom
After Yunyun woke up, she simply washed up, tidied her messy hair, put on her slippers, and slowly went downstairs.
The handrails of the stairs were polished to a high shine, and the wood grain was clearly visible. Every time she went down a step, she subconsciously glanced around the living room and dining room downstairs, with a look of anticipation in her eyes, but after a round, she did not see Li Yiyan.
Instead, I saw a strange aunt bending over in the corner of the living room, holding a feather duster tightly in her hand, carefully sweeping the dust accumulated in the gaps of the furniture. Her movements were skillful and neat, and wherever she passed, there was spotless.
The aunt seemed to notice a pair of eyes wandering and searching in the room, and when she raised her eyes, she met Yunyun's gaze.
She immediately understood what he meant, a kind smile spread across her face, and she said in a gentle and kind voice, "Sir, he went to work early in the morning. He is not at home now."
The words were plain, but they made Yunyun feel awkward. Her cheeks instantly turned a light red. She wondered if her behavior of looking for someone like this was too conspicuous and too clingy, just like a little tail that could not be separated from people.
Fortunately, the aunt was considerate and saw through her embarrassment. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, she immediately took the initiative to say, "I have prepared lunch. I will serve it out."
As he spoke, he tapped the duster in his hand against the wall a few times to shake off the dust, then turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Yunyun nodded hurriedly, a grateful smile on her face, and responded: "Okay, thank you, Auntie."
The aunt kept walking, waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's not a bother, it's not a bother, this is my job."
Auntie's figure quickly disappeared at the kitchen door, and soon she brought the steaming and fragrant meals to the table one by one.
The afternoon sun lazily poured into the living room, and the warm atmosphere enveloped every corner. Yunyun nestled leisurely on the sofa after dinner.
She fiddled with the pillow out of boredom, her fingers picking at the edge of it unconsciously. Her heart was empty, and the troubled thoughts that she had suppressed before now began to grow wildly in her heart like weeds.
She knew that keeping running away was not a long-term solution. After hesitating for a long time, as if she had made a great decision, she took a deep breath, unlocked her phone, and opened the TikTok app with a light tap of her fingertips.
Before she had time to adjust her thoughts, the first push at the top of the page caught her eye - it was about Li Yiyan's work.
It was a work posted by a fan, and the material was taken from Li Yiyan's Douyin work. Yunyun clicked on it with surprise.
It turned out that last night when she forced herself to put aside her mobile phone and fall asleep, Li Yiyan posted a work on his Douyin account.
This is a text work: I believe in Yunyun, she is definitely not that kind of person. I also hope that everyone can believe in her and give her some time. She will definitely not let everyone down. Finally, my private account is open. If you have any bad private messages, you can send them to me, not to her. Everyone believe me, Yunyun is much better than everyone thinks. Let us wait for the flowers to bloom.
Yunyun's eyes were slightly red, her nose was sore, and she quickly quit the video and searched Li Yiyan's account, but found that there was no such work. He blocked her before posting the work.
At that moment, she suddenly understood. Li Yiyan only wanted to protect her silently and bear the external pressure alone, without asking her to know or be grateful. He just hoped that she could have fewer rumors and gossips under his wings and be free from worries.
Yunyun returned to the main interface of Douyin, her fingertips mechanically slid across the screen, browsing one video after another. Her originally uneasy heart was filled little by little with continuous kindness and trust.
The screen was filled with familiar or unfamiliar avatars and nicknames. Some of them spoke at length and with sincerity, while others spoke only a few words and hit the point directly, but all of them supported her.
Including some of her other brothers and sisters, they all sent WeChat messages to show their concern for her as soon as they learned about this incident, and helped her post works on Douyin, building a solid "shield" for her.
There is also a group of lovely and enthusiastic "clouds" who never give up. They said frankly that they believed in Yunyun before the so-called "cin chat records" were exposed.
Even though there are people in the comment section who are sarcastic and their words are like sharp arrows, they still choose to believe it.
Yunyun, who is affectionately called "Uncle", looks casual and free-spirited on weekdays, but at this moment he made a harsh statement on his Douyin account: I believe Yunyun, if she is really that kind of person, I will cancel my account directly.
Looking at the screen full of enthusiasm and sincere trust, Yunyun's tense nerves suddenly broke, and tears burst out uncontrollably.
At first, she sobbed quietly, her shoulders trembled slightly, and then she simply leaned on the armrest of the sofa and cried uncontrollably. In those tears, there was grievance and emotion…
In the early morning, Li Yiyan stood in front of the window, adjusting his cuffs, his brows slightly furrowed, thinking about Yunyun who was still sleeping in the guest room.
He knew her personality too well. Although she seemed free and easy, she was actually delicate and sensitive. She cared a lot about the rumors from the outside world.
Even though he pretended to be calm and avoided the news and social media platforms last night, he was sure that Yunyun would not be able to hold back today and would check out the news on TikTok.
He knew very well that he was busy today and could not stay by her side all the time. What if she saw those hurtful words and had a breakdown?
After thinking it over, he made a prompt decision. When the aunt came in early in the morning and was changing shoes and setting up cleaning tools in the hallway, he reminded her, "Aunt, Yunyun may not be in a good mood. Please pay more attention to her while you are busy with housework today and help me check on her condition. If you notice that she looks wrong, depressed, or has any abnormalities, call me immediately."
Auntie stood up quickly, smiling, and patted her chest to promise: "Okay, sir. I will pay more attention to it. You can go and do your things, and leave the house to me."
At first, the aunt was wiping the furniture in the living room. She caught a glimpse of Yunyun coming down the stairs from the corner of her eye. She was walking lightly, with curved eyebrows and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. She exuded a lively energy.
At that time, the aunt was still muttering in her heart: "Mr. said it so seriously, but this little girl seems to be in a good mood."
So the aunt didn't pay too much attention to it and just went about her business.
Until faint sobbing sounds were heard from the other side of the sofa in the living room. The sound was slight at first, and then became clearer.
The aunt who had been busy in the kitchen came out and saw this scene. She was extremely worried, fearing that the little girl would hurt herself from crying.
She wiped her hands on her apron in panic, then quickly took out her cell phone and looked for Li Yiyan's number.
As soon as the call was connected, the aunt said worriedly: "Sir, please come back soon. This girl is crying so hard on the sofa. It hurts me to see her."
On the other end of the phone, Li Yiyan's voice suddenly tensed up. He responded briefly and then hurriedly ended the call, as if he was rushing home in a hurry.
