Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118: Wait for My Return

"Yuan Yu." Tang Jun looked at Yuan Yu with eyes burning bright. Her lips opened and closed, even without lipstick they were the kind of red and glossy lips that made him feel an urge to kiss them.

Tang Jun slightly shifted his gaze, focusing on her smooth forehead.

"What’s wrong?"

Yuan Yu was still rubbing her nose, which hurt from being bumped. When she looked up, she saw Tang Jun’s blazing gaze, and blinked, not understanding why he was looking at her like that.

"Do I have a flower on my face?"

Yuan Yu touched her face.

"No." Tang Jun shook his head, his lips moved as if wanting to say something but he hesitated. It’s not that he wasn’t decisive, but telling someone he likes them after consistently rejecting them felt like it might be a bit slap-worthy.

Besides, there’s Sister-in-law Zhou...

Tang Jun hadn’t figured out how to start speaking when he heard Cai Yufei yelling outside, mentioning he found a good medicinal plant in the mountains a few hours away from Jing City.

Tang Jun immediately jumped off the hospital bed. He needed support to get in just now, but suddenly he was vigorous and lively, getting dressed as he walked out.

"You haven’t finished treating your wounds yet!"

Yuan Yu watched Tang Jun’s quick movements and couldn’t help but remind him. Although the bruises wouldn’t cause fundamental harm, if they weren’t treated properly, they’d surely swell by tomorrow.

"It’s not a big deal."

Tang Jun said nonchalantly, these injuries were nothing to him. As he reached the door, he turned back and looked at Yuan Yu’s worried face, earnestly saying, "Wait for me to come back."

With those words, Tang Jun ran out like a gust of wind.

Wait for me to come back?

Yuan Yu silently recited Tang Jun’s last words, wondering what he meant?

Country F.

Tang Yue and her team moved into the villa to conduct a final tally of all the garments. After confirming that everything was correct, they prepared for the fashion show.

It wasn’t their turn yet, but Tang Yue was still nervous.

She had participated in many competitions, but this was her first time with a fashion show.

If Lucy hadn’t been there to help, Tang Yue would only know how to design clothes and not much else.

She wasn’t sure what kind of lighting was needed.

However, when it came to the music, Tang Yue had already chosen it. It was the newly released song by Xie Ni, a soothing yet affectionate melody, not as exhilarating as a more intense tune, but deeply moving, as if tailored for the clothes she designed.

"Tang, when is Xie Ni arriving?"

Lucy had already asked this question multiple times.

Tang Yue couldn’t help but roll her eyes and said, "Lucy, didn’t I say she’ll arrive tomorrow morning?"

"Tang, I really want to meet her!" Lucy blinked her bright blue eyes.

"Then when she comes tomorrow, you can hug her to sleep." Tang Yue joked, and then playfully added, "Lucy, you wish, but your husband certainly wouldn’t like that."

Ben was extremely devoted to Lucy, with a possessiveness that could rival Meng Siyu’s.

Someone like Ben would never allow Lucy to sleep with someone else.

"No way," Lucy replied, clearly lacking confidence.

Tang Yue didn’t expose Lucy’s words, she yawned and finished the last tasks, then laid down to sleep.

...

"Xiao Yue."

Xie Ni went straight to the villa after getting off the plane, and seeing Tang Yue, she excitedly hugged her, saying, "I’ve missed you so much."

"You just missed the sweet and sour ribs I make, right?"

Tang Yue cheerfully pried herself away from Xie Ni and said, "Look, the sweet and sour ribs are ready."

"Xiao Yue, you’re the best, I love you!"

Seeing the prepared sweet and sour ribs, Xie Ni instantly felt hungry. She hadn’t eaten much on the plane and was quite hungry now.

Though it’s a bit early for lunch, she’s not worried, she eats at irregular times anyway.

After fully satisfying her hunger, Xie Ni felt that this trip was worth it. She had tried a lot of sweet and sour ribs, but the taste of Tang Yue’s cooking was memorable.

It was a pity she didn’t have much time. Otherwise, staying at Tang Yue’s place would be wonderful.

Thinking back to her time living at Tang Yue’s house, for Xie Ni, those were perhaps the most pleasant and comfortable days after she became famous.

"Xie Ni."

Knowing Xie Ni would come, Lucy originally planned to leave early, but Ben was inexplicably worked up last night, exhausting her half the night, and she ended up sleeping in by accident.

"Lucy."

Xie Ni greeted Lucy warmly. Though they didn’t see each other often, they weren’t strangers. Lucy had spent a few days with Xie Ni when she visited Jing City.

"Signed photos, I want them all."

Lucy suddenly took out CDs and posters from her bag.

Xie Ni: "..."

"Sister Xie, could you sign one for me too?"

Li Yongmei had known early on that Xie Ni was coming, so she bought CDs well in advance, just for today.

As soon as she saw Xie Ni, Li Yongmei joined in, bringing hers forward.

She liked Xie Ni’s songs and admired Xie Ni herself. Despite being a household name, whenever Xie Ni visited the studio, she was always super nice.

"Sister Xie, me too."

Du Jiajia and Yang Na also followed suit.

Jin Yan chuckled and said, "Sister Xie, remember to take a few photos with me later!"

"Alright."

Xie Ni skillfully signed her name, adding a little heart afterward, which looked especially beautiful.

Jin Yan’s suggestion prompted everyone to want pictures together, so the bodyguards assigned to protect Tang Yue ended up taking photos.

One group photo after another continued until they were all weary. Then Tang Yue said, "Sister Xie, you should adjust to the time difference. Tomorrow is the fashion show."

"Okay."

Xie Ni went upstairs yawning, the bedroom long prepared for her, with a soft bed letting her fall asleep immediately.

Downstairs, Li Yongmei and the others were still excited, not sure whether it was from taking pictures with Xie Ni or anticipating the fashion show tomorrow.

Tang Yue and her team went to set up the venue and prepare the lighting. The fashion show wasn’t just for their group.

Hospital.

Just a day after Tang Jun left, Yuan Yu kept recalling Tang Jun’s words: wait for me to come back.

What did he mean?

Could it be that he changed his mind?

With no patients around, Yuan Yu sat in a daze, looking at the rain outside the window, her eyelids kept twitching.

What was going on?

With no apparent reason, Yuan Yu felt some anxiety in her heart. She checked the time and thought it should be dawn in Country F.

With five minutes until end of work, Yuan Yu made a special call to her father to confirm he was well. She got up, preparing to take a round through the wards just in time for finishing work.
