And the moment we entered our home, Yuan and Chen Shiyuan lay down directly on the couch like they had gotten so tired from today.
And then I said, "Both of you, first freshen yourselves up and then relax for a while," I said.
And the moment I said it, the huge sound of clouds thundering occurred so suddenly. An unexpected rain that no one expected on today's bright sunny day. But I think this night will end with rain.
And then when we looked at Chen Shiyuan, she had already fallen asleep on the couch itself. After all, she is just five years old, and today she got so tired from going to school, then shopping, then to a restaurant, and now finally at home. She really got so tired today.
But without saying anything to me, Yuan lifted her up in his arms and took her inside our room. She always sleeps with us, like she is so much obsessed with her Ma and Pa.
And then when Yuan got back from the room after making her sleep, he came into the living room where I was sitting on the couch, with two cups of coffee.
Yuan came and sat beside me and held my hand in his and said, "Thank you."
I smiled, looked at him, handed him the cup of coffee in his hands and asked him, "Thank you for what?"
He smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for coming into my life and filling it with your chaos and dramas. Thank you for making me realize that love like yours still exists in this world. But let me tell you, silly girl, I must say that I have never ever seen a love like yours, who loves this much unconditionally without expecting anything in return."
"Thank you for worshipping me even when I didn't know about your existence in this world. And last but not least, thank you for giving me another silly girl who is just like us," he said while holding my hand in his.
I smiled and said, "Yuan, why are you saying these things today? Did you really get tired from today's shopping?" I asked him.
He looked away for a while and then slowly sipped the coffee and gave his most charismatic smile that always makes my Mr. Heart skip a beat.
Then he said, "Nothing. It's just that I feel I should be thankful for the endless blessings that I got even without asking for them or praying for them too hard," he said.
"It's not that you asked for it or not. It's just that I asked enough from God for both of our sides," I said while looking at him.
Then he said, "Yes, you are so stubborn. I know you asked God each and every passing day very stubbornly."
"But I never knew that my stubbornness would lead my way to you," I said.
"Then please, be stubborn like this always. Be stubborn on everything, each and every thing," he said.
I smiled and said, "Ok, ok, I'll be stubborn even more. But you just need to be able to handle my stubbornness. Could you?" I asked him.
He smiled and said, "Of course. Is there anything about my silly girl that her Yuan Yuan can't handle?" he said.
And then I placed my head on his shoulder and said, "You know what, Yuan? When Chen Shiyuan arrived in our world, the date was nineteenth of May. And if you look closely at this, then we can see that she was born on nineteen, which carries one from my birth date, twenty-one, and it carries nine from your birth date, twenty-nine."
"And she was born in May, which is the fifth month of all the months. See, your birthday comes in October and mine in January, and May comes in between them. It's exactly the equal halfway month, and this shows that she is just our mixture in everything," I said to him.
He smiled while listening to me and said, "I really like it. I really like listening to your voice as my daily alarm, and I want this alarm to wake me up in each and every upcoming morning of my life," he said.
I smiled and said, "You know, Yuan, what my favourite alphabets are?"
"Do people even have favourite alphabets?" he asked me while getting a little shocked.
And then I said, "Yes, of course. I don't know about others, but I have."
"What are they?" he asked.
"They are C, Z, and Y," I said.
"C stands for Chen Shiyuan, and Y stands for my Yuan Yuan. But what does Z stand for? Zhao Shiza, right?" he asked me.
I smiled and said, "You really are very intelligent, my dear Yuan Yuan. But I am not going to accept anything because some things are meant to stay hidden and without reasons. Some things don't really have any reasons, so let it be like this only. I am not going to say anything. It's just that they are my favourite alphabets, so they are. I am not going to explain or say anything," I said.
He smiled and patted my head in his usual style and said, "My silly girl, sometimes I really find you so mysterious."
I smiled, and then suddenly one more quite strong thunder occurred, and the rain got heavier and heavier. The unexpected rain in Shanghai today really had something strange about it.
But indeed, rain is my favourite weather.
Rain leads me to the paths that I always want to take.
Summer and winter are just seasons, but rain is a feeling that leads my unexpected imagination into reality, whether it is reality or not.
But rain gives me the life that I always imagined.
And then suddenly my vision started blurring.
I avoided it for a few seconds, but it kept getting more and more blurred with each passing second.
The sound of the rain got heavier and heavier with it.
And then something really went off, and in front of my eyes everything became dark for a minute.
Then I heard some voices in my ears.
And then I opened my eyes.
And they said,
"Zhao Shiza, you have finally woken up."
And then I...…
