Absolutely Spoiled - Chapter 19.1

Chapter 19.1
When Yu Zhiyi finally opened her eyes, Shi Yi was the first person she saw. The young girl’s slightly curled eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly flapping its wings, but her face was expressionless. The wounded area of the face had been covered, leaving only a pair of wide eyes. In the past, everyone used to say that those large, crystal-grape-like eyes were filled with aura, but since she woke up after attempting suicide, those eyes had lost their shine.
Shi Yi observed Yu Zhiyi for a long time. Then he bent his head and softly questioned, “Yiyi, why did you do that?”
Yu Zhiyi dared not glance at him, and she just closed her eyes.
Shi Yi didn’t intend to let her go, and she continued. “In the past, when you frowned, I was afraid that you would be sad. If you shed two tears, I would be afraid of losing you. Now that you are so cruel to yourself, do you want to die yourself, or do you want me to die of distress?” He sighed helplessly. “Brother treats you so well; is this how you repay him?”
Yu Zhiyi closed her eyes tightly and didn’t utter a single word.
Shi Yi raised his hand slightly, put his wrist on her uninjured hand, and tapped the back of her hand twice with his soft and gentle fingertips, but his tone didn’t mean to blame at all: “Yi Yi, you’re really ungrateful.”
Hearing such words, Yu Zhiyi couldn’t keep her mouth shut anymore, and with a cry, she said, “Brother… I’m sorry… sorry…
“Since you know you were wrong, then your brother will give you a chance to correct yourself. Let’s go home with me.” Shi Yi replied while his warm palms encircled her tiny hands securely.
……………………………….
Shi Yi and his mother thought if they took Yu Zhiyi to their old house, it would arouse her painful memories, so they decided to take her to their new home in the city.
The house that the Shi family bought in the urban area had already been renovated, and they had already moved in, so it was no problem to live in it directly now.
Their new house was a three-bedroom, one-living-room house. ‘Luckily, they had bought a house with three bedrooms, so there would be no problem taking Yu Zhiyi in.’ Ning Suya thought so, and she was determined to take good care of the young girl.
Before Yu Zhiyi was taken to Shi’s house, Nign Suya carefully decorated Yu Zhiyi’s room, which was suitable for a young girl. She used mostly beige and light pink colours for decorations and added a vase filled with fragrant flowers.
When Yu Zhiyi arrived at Shi’s house in the city, Ning Suya took the two children to Yu Zhiyi’s room happily. “Come in, Yiyi, and have a look. Do you like this room? If you think something is inappropriate, just tell Aunt Ning, and I can change it at any time.”
Yu Zhiyi expressed her gratitude in a trembling voice after feeling moved in her heart. “Thank you, Aunt Ning; I really like it.” She looks gratefully at the nicely decorated, warm, and cosy space.
“You play here by yourself; I’ll go make lunch first,” Ning Suya replied with a smile. She groaned and shook her head as she walked out the door. Although the adult was clearly at fault, the innocent child ended up bearing the brunt of everything. Now everyone was cautious when facing Yu Zhiyi for fear of scaring her, but this made Ning Suya unable to relax herself. ‘What about Shi Yi?’
…………………………….
Shi Yi gave Yu Zhiyi a tour of the house. And he definitely didn’t treat her as a guest.
“Yiyi, can you remember the water dispenser outside? Bring me a glass of water.”
The young girl promptly left after hearing the order. It was simple for her to complete this small task because she was aware of everyone’s personal water cups and the locations of the drinking fountains. She took half a glass of water, brought it back, and handed it to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi took the water glass naturally and lightly touched the top of her head with his other hand, as if praising casually, “Our Yiyi is very good.”
The young girl’s lips curled slightly at the corner, and the slight smile disappeared quickly.
Shi Yu saw that, and he felt a little happy, but at the same time he thought, ‘For Yu Zhiyi, what she lacks most now is self-confidence. Her mind is so simple; all she wants is to be recognised by others.’ He then remembered what the doctor who conducted a psychological examination on Yu Zhiyi had said before. “The mood is low, and it is difficult to concentrate. Sometimes she does not respond when she calls her name several times. It is not that she ignores it on purpose. They lack self-confidence, feel that they have no value in existence, and even have no clear expectations for the future.”
Shi Yi would urge her to eat every day; Yu Zhiyi was still very obedient and tried to let herself eat as much as possible, but she didn’t eat much, and her figure, which was originally called slender, gradually became thinner. Just skin and bones.
Ning Suya tried her best to cook some nutritious meals, but they didn’t help much.
Watching Ning Suya prepare food for her every time, Yu Zhiyi really wanted to eat it up, but her stomach wouldn’t allow it. Once, behind their backs, she secretly forced herself to swallow something and finally squatted in the toilet to vomit.
“This child is really… I would rather she not be so obedient!” Ning Suya couldn’t help wiping her tears and never dared to mention the matter of asking her to eat more.
However, there was still one thing that made them happy these days, and that was that Yu Zhiyi had no negative thoughts of death.
Every time Shi Yi went to hold her hand, he would raise her wrist to look at the scars that were gradually fading away.
Yu Zhiyi assured him, “Brother, I won’t do stupid things again.”
She was too tired at that time; in fact, whether it was asking for help that night or coming home with Shi Yi now, these choices were proof that she wanted to live!
She didn’t want to die; she just couldn’t be happy.
When Shi Yi got the answer he wanted, he also heaved a sigh of relief. As long as people were alive, everything else could come slowly. “Don’t mention it again; your brother has a weak heart.” He deliberately patted his chest and made a joke in a relaxed tone.
The little girl raised her eyes lightly, moved her eyes to his heart, and slowly put her right hand on it, whispering softly, “Brother, don’t feel bad; I’ll be obedient.”
She was standing on the edge of a cliff, and someone showed up at the last moment to pull her back to safety, so she survived. At that time, she knew that there were still people in the world who hadn’t given up on her.
