Chapter 003: Lin Yun Eating Wild Fruits by the Roadside

However, will he run off to another place? Han Yuxi found herself unable to calm down and focus on work after recalling the scene she had seen at noon, merely staring blankly at the monitor, unsure of what she was thinking.

Although Lin Yun had an average appearance and slightly dark skin, her hearing was excellent. She could clearly hear the gossiping remarks of the two girls, and she couldn't help but smile wryly to herself, thinking how coincidental it was that she had just stepped out and was already encountered by a colleague of Han Yuxi.

"Mingyan fruit? Hmm, it really is Mingyan fruit." Lin Yun unexpectedly spotted Mingyan fruit by the side of a park, and his excitement was palpable. Mingyan fruit, more precisely known as Minghuandan, is a medicinal fruit rich in spiritual energy and abundant in soul material, offering tremendous benefits to cultivators. However, it must be soaked in saltwater before consumption; otherwise, it may cause diarrhea. Lin Yun did not expect such a precious fruit to be planted as an ornamental tree by the roadside.

Lin Yun seemed oblivious, continuing to savor his delicious meal. He thought to himself that after consuming so many Mingyan fruits, he could probably begin his cultivation tonight, or perhaps even this afternoon.

Well, since that's the case, let's just buy all the rice noodles

The person speaking with Han Yuxi is named Shen Jun, who is the business manager of the company and is exceptionally capable. It is said that his salary is the highest in the company, second only to that of the general manager. His intentions towards Han Yuxi are as clear as Sima Zhao's ambitions, and everyone in the company is aware of this. However, despite having a mentally ill husband, Han Yuxi shows no interest in Shen Jun whatsoever.

Watching Lin Yun pick up another fruit and examine it, he still wore a reluctant expression as he placed it into his pocket. Then, he carefully wiped the remaining fruits dry and put them into his pocket.

Looking at the many people by the roadside who were watching Lin Yun eat the poisonous fruit from a distance, not a single one approached to warn him that the fruit was inedible. A wave of frustration surged in Han Yu's chest as she watched Lin Yun enjoying the fruit, and she suddenly could not hold back her tears. Regardless of this person's character, he was still her nominal husband after all.

A few minutes later, Lin Yun took out a bright fruit, shook off the water on it, and took a bite. A refreshing sensation, difficult to describe, flowed down his throat, accompanied by a slight astringency. Lin Yun sighed contentedly; although it was not fully ripe, it was already edible.

Han Yu returned to his office like a walking corpse, his mind unclear about what he was thinking

After feeling sad, I decided to take him back first and then talk about it. However, when I looked up, I surprisingly did not see Lin Yun with the *picture* book. Looking around, there were only some people discussing animatedly and some laughter. Lin Yun had already disappeared without a trace.

This time, when he was discharged from the hospital, it seemed a bit different from previous occasions; he even greeted Mother Hao. Could it be that his condition has improved compared to before? However, as soon as I thought of him sitting by the roadside eating fruit, I immediately suppressed that notion. I never expected that I would actually feel a bit of concern for this person. Sigh, I might as well consider him a dog I raised.

Ah, how pitiful Yu Xi, who actually married a man with a mental illness. However, he seemed quite astute just now when he was teasing the second young master of the Li family. Could it be that he has already recovered

Since two years ago, after I severely beat him following a strong assault incident, and he uttered the words that he would immediately commit suicide if it happened again, he has never harmed himself again. Instead, he continuously destroys things in the house and shouts loudly.

"Oh, it's nothing," said Han Yuxi, lowering her head as she ascended the stairs, without saying anything further to the young man

Han Yuxi suddenly remembered that he seemed to have not eaten since she picked him up yesterday. Since she had brought him back this time, the old nanny from his mother's side definitely did not know, so it was impossible for her to send him food. He must be starving and looking for something to eat. Thinking of this, although Han Yuxi hated Lin Yun, she felt a bit guilty in her heart

However, upon reflection, it became clear that without anyone cultivating it, this fruit serves no purpose here as a mere scenery.

Hurry up and buy some food, don't worry about it. Ah, look at how many rice noodles we bought today. Why don't we buy something else instead

It is not acceptable; other items can be purchased, but Meina must have rice noodles, otherwise she will complain

However, I have never paid him any attention; it was he who attempted to assault me several times without success, each time resorting to physical violence against me. However, ever since he developed a mental illness, whenever he tries to lay hands on me, it is I who ends up teaching him a lesson.

Han Yu regretted not having time for lunch. After listening to Xiao You and Fang Ping, he hurriedly rushed out of the office. Sure enough, as he reached the entrance on the ground floor, he saw Lin Yun eating a roadside fruit he had picked from a pot. Noticing that the tree had already been stripped bare, he saw that only a few remained in the pot in front of Lin Yun, indicating that he had eaten the rest.

"It's nothing, thank you, Xiao Na." After Han Yuxi replied, she directly returned to her seat, still pondering whether Lin Yun would go somewhere else. She also reflected on the various behaviors of this young master in the past. Although he continued to indulge in a lavish lifestyle after their marriage, the amount of money he could spend had significantly decreased, making it seem somewhat better than before.

A few curious individuals watched from a distance as Lin Yun sat by the roadside eating wild fruits, their minds filled with various thoughts—sympathy, amusement, disdain, and schadenfreude.

Since there are these Mingyan fruits, who would still go hungry? Lin Yun suppressed the excitement in his heart and immediately went to a nearby snack shop to ask the owner for some salt and borrowed a basin. After filling the basin with water, he quickly ran to the tree that bore more than twenty Mingyan fruits, picked all the fruits from the tree, and carefully soaked them in the basin filled with salt water.

Rain, are you alright?" Meina hurried over to comfort Han Yuxi upon noticing that something was off with her.

"Fang Ping, do you see that Lin Yun seems to be having another episode? She is actually picking wild fruits by the roadside. It really looks a bit pitiful. Let's hurry to the company and inform Yu Xi about it." Xiao You and Fang Ping, after buying rice noodles, were quite shocked to see Lin Yun eating wild fruits by the roadside.

... ...

Regardless of how he bullied himself in the past, he is now, after all, a mental patient along with the books. Even if he has raised a dog, he should at least provide it with some food. Suddenly, Han Yu, overwhelmed by sorrow, wept uncontrollably at the entrance of the building, unsure whether it was for his own tragic fate or for something else.

"Yuxi, what is wrong with you?" A remarkably handsome young man, carrying a briefcase, walked into the building and saw Han Yuxi standing at the entrance, looking around anxiously, and thus inquired.

"Xiao You, do you think that looks a bit like Lin Yun?" said a girl, who was watching Lin Yun tease Li Xiao, to another girl beside her

"What are you talking about, Fang Ping? Your eyes are really something. Is there still any doubt? That is indeed Yu Xi's husband, Lin Yun. Didn't we see Yu Xi taking him home near the hospital yesterday?" said a girl named Xiao You, somewhat skeptically, as she looked at Fang Ping.

Although he had given Li Xiao a severe warning, the key issues remained unresolved, and his own stomach was still extremely hungry. Lin Yun felt not a trace of joy in his heart; he merely gazed aimlessly at the various snacks by the roadside, swallowing repeatedly.

Seeing two girls go to the rice noodle shop across the street to buy rice noodles, Lin Yun really wanted to follow them and have a bowl to eat. However, although Lin Yun was thick-skinned in her past life, she felt embarrassed to go. The key issue was that she and Han Yuxi were almost strangers now, so how could she have the audacity to go to her colleague and ask for food.
