Traveling back in time to take care of Sung Deok-sun

Chapter 17 A Night Filled with Coal Smoke

"But then again, our Deok-sun is so wonderful. If she gets married in the future, how will Daddy cope with all the heartbreak?" Deok-sun's father joked.

Deok-sun was about to say that she wouldn't get married, but the words caught in her throat. She suddenly remembered that she and Seo-woo had been sitting here last night.

She suddenly felt lost, unsure how to respond to her father. She also suddenly realized that Liu Shuyu still left a mark on her heart.

Seeing that Deok-sun seemed to want to say something but didn't, her father joked and then laughed, "Alright, let's light the candles and celebrate her birthday!"

Deok-sun nodded obediently.

Deok-sun's father took out a lighter to light the candles. Deok-sun shielded her eyes from the wind with her hand as the candles were lit one by one, the yellow light reflecting on their faces.

"Happy birthday, Deok-sun!" Deok-sun's father said to her with a kind smile, holding a cake.

"Hurry up and blow out the candles!"

Deok-sun nodded, took a deep breath, and blew out all the candles.

"Dad, you eat too!"

"No, you eat it. Dad doesn't like greasy food."

Deok-sun smiled at her father, then picked up the cake and started eating it with a fork.

Regardless of whether family members understand you or not, their love is real. In the end, what eliminates the barriers is the love of a family holding hands and connecting hearts. Family is family after all.

Deok-sun carried the bag and walked home hand in hand with her father.

Liu Shuyu saw it all clearly from the balcony. While the family's love was genuine, the history of neglecting their second daughter would likely repeat itself...

Paula's House

Paula's mother was changing the honeycomb briquettes, and then she casually closed the door.

That night, Paula's father rolled around on the floor, clutching his head.

"Ouch~~ My head~~ hurts so much~~"

What's that smell? Paula's father groaned for a while before getting up. He suddenly became alert as he smelled the odor.

"Wife! Wife, wake up!"

"Twilight! Twilight! Wake up!"

"Coal smoke! Wake up!"

Liu Shuyu, who was pacing back and forth outside the yard, became anxious when he heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps inside. The gate was locked, and he couldn't get in in time.

Even though he reminded Paula's mom today, it didn't help; it still happened. Fortunately, Paula's dad discovered it in time.

He was even prepared to break down the door under the pretext of catching a thief if there was no sound for a while.

A moment later, the door opened from the inside, and Paula's dad and Paula's mom came out carrying Paula and Yu Hui on their backs respectively.

As soon as they came out, Liu Shuyu called out, "Uncle, Auntie, where's Deok-sun?"

"Ah! Deok-sun is still inside!" Bora's father exclaimed as if waking from a dream, but the coal smoke he inhaled left him weak and he struggled to get up.

Before they could answer, Liu Shuyu was just asking a routine question, not wanting to seem too abrupt. After Paula's parents moved aside, he rushed inside.

"Deok-sun! Deok-sun!"

Enduring the pungent smell of coal smoke, Liu Shuyu rushed into the room. As soon as he opened the door, Deok-sun was struggling to crawl behind it and opening the door. She looked up and saw Liu Shuyu calling her name.

She was panting heavily when Liu Shuyu picked her up and ran outside while coughing.

Just as Bora's father, dragging his weak body inside, came in, he saw Yoo Seo-woo coughing and rushing out carrying Deok-sun, calling out in a tearful voice, "Deok-sun~ Deok-sun~"

"Dad~", Deok-sun responded weakly.

Outside the courtyard, Deok-sun's family was panting heavily, while Liu Shu-yu sat to the side watching them.

"Thank you, Seo-woo. If it weren't for you, Deok-sun would have been in trouble." Bora's mother had regained some strength and quickly glanced at Deok-sun with a regretful tone before turning to thank Yoo Seo-woo.

Paula's mom thought to herself: Today, Shuyu reminded her that he had heard that many people outside had recently suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning, and told her to be careful.

I didn't expect to arrive at their house so early in the evening. This had happened before, but the door was always slightly open and there was no big problem. I never thought that today I would close the door without paying attention and almost cause a disaster.

"It's alright, Auntie," Liu Shuyu said, smiling at Deok-sun who was looking at him with teary eyes.

Paula's dad, now fully awake, casually asked, "By the way, Shuyu, what are you doing outside?"

"Oh! I got up in the middle of the night and heard someone moving around outside, so I took a look out of curiosity and saw a suspicious guy in the alley. I opened the door and came out, and he left as soon as he saw me," Liu Shuyu casually made up.

"I was worried, so I came over to check. Just then, I heard a noise coming from the yard. I couldn't get in from outside the gate, so I waited outside."

"Oh dear, is it a thief, Paula's dad?" Paula's mom said, looking at Shuyu and adding with some concern.

"I don't know, but it's really a good thing. Why did you close the door so tightly for no reason!" Paula's dad scolded Paula's mom.

Paula's mother also pouted and didn't reply. She knew that she had caused her family a lot of trouble today.

Seeing Bora's parents about to start arguing, Bora and Yu Hui rubbing their heads, and Deok-sun staring at him.

Liu Shuyu coughed and said, "Auntie, why don't you come stay at my place tonight? I have rooms available."

"Oh dear, will this be too much trouble for you?" Paula's mother pushed her husband, who was arguing with her, and said to Liu Shuyu somewhat apologetically.

"It's alright, the smell in your room hasn't dissipated yet, it probably won't be comfortable to stay in tonight."

After Liu Shuyu finished speaking, Paula's father first thanked Liu Shuyu, and then said to Paula's mother, "You went just because Shuyu asked you to. If you want to go home to sleep, go home by yourself!"

After saying that, he pulled Yu Hui and Paula and slowly walked towards Liu Shuyu's house.

Bora's mother was so angry that she stood up and punched him a few times, then helped the weak Bora up and looked back at Deok-sun.

Liu Shuyu gestured that he was there and helped Deok-sun up. Only then did Bora's mother feel relieved and walk forward. Deok-sun, her face flushed, lowered her head.

After walking for a while, Deok-sun looked up and whispered to Yoo Seo-woo, "Seo-woo~"

"Ok?"

"Thank you!"

Liu Shuyu looked at Deok-sun, smiled at her, and helped her walk home.

Deok-sun smiled at Yoo Seo-woo in response, her face showing signs of recovery from the ordeal, with a smile on her face.

What a carefree girl!

Liu Shuyu's family

His house has many rooms, and each one is fully furnished and ready to move into, with even special sleeping supplies in each room.

Bora, Deok-sun, and Yu-hui each have their own room, Bora's parents have their own room, and Yoo Seo-woo has his own master bedroom.

Looking at her own private room, Deok-sun couldn't help but jump up excitedly. It was the first time she could sleep anywhere without worrying about Bora hitting her...

Liu Shuyu even cooked a late-night snack as soon as he got home, making it another pleasant evening for both guests and guests...
