Chapter 12 So you're going to leave me behind?

Song Yunqing hurriedly walked up to the two people and asked anxiously, "Are you telling the truth?"

They turned around, bewildered. "How could this be fake? The captain has been brought back for treatment. It's a mess over there right now."

"That's right. Xingyong Island is known for its strong winds and waves. They come every now and then. If you're prepared, it's fine. But if you're not careful, you could lose your life right there."

Song Yunqing's heart started beating fast when she heard this. She had thought about the harsh conditions on Xingyong Island, but she had never thought about the life-threatening situation.

Now that there is no one in charge on Xingyong Island, Xiao Jinchuan must leave early, so she has to go back quickly.

Song Yunqing didn't have time to watch the fun anymore and returned to the compound as quickly as possible.

As expected, as soon as I entered the door, I saw people coming and going on the second floor, and many of them were moving things.

Seeing her come back, Cao Sixing stopped what he was doing and said, "Sister-in-law, you're back?"

"Where's Xiao Jinchuan?"

"I'm tidying up in my room."

Song Yunqing walked into the house in two steps. The commonly used items had been packed up, leaving only some things that could not be moved.

The lights at the door dimmed, and Xiao Jinchuan saw Song Yunqing.

We just had a big fight, so it's a bit awkward to meet each other now.

The two people's eyes met, but quickly looked away.

"Want to leave early?"

Xiao Jinchuan nodded: "You already know?"

"It's all rumored out there, I think it's hard not to know. So what about you? Are you planning to leave quietly? And leave me here all alone?"

There was a subtle hint of grievance in Song Yunqing's tone as he spoke.

Xiao Jinchuan didn't refute: "I've sent someone to find you. Although I really want to, I don't have the right to make a decision for you. There's still time. If you don't want to go, you can stay here."

"Then what?"

Song Yunqing took a step closer, his entire body shrouded in backlight, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

"As what am I living here? Your wife? Or ex-wife?"

"Xiao Jinchuan, have you ever thought about how much gossip and rumors I'd be subjected to if I lived here alone? How can you be so sure that I wouldn't want to go to the island with you? How can you be so sure that I'd covet fame and fortune?"

Xiao Jinchuan looked into her eyes and said, "You must have heard that Xingyong Island is very dangerous and the food, clothing, and daily expenses are nowhere near as good as here. Why are you still going there?"

Song Yunqing sniffed and took out the packed box from the cabinet: "I'm sure!"

After getting the definite answer, Xiao Jinchuan finally felt relieved.

The two of them were silent for a while, just packing their luggage silently.

Song Yunqing had not lived here for long and did not have many deep feelings for the place, but when Xiao Jinchuan left, he took a deep look at the room.

Just like when I came, it was empty.

But he knew in his heart that this place was full of memories.

The car was filled with luggage. After the two of them got in the car, Song Yunqing looked back and took a last look at the house.

"Don't worry, although time is short, I have prepared a lot of things, enough for us to live on the island."

Song Yunqing knew that Xiao Jinchuan came to seek peace.

"Where are those two pairs of shoes? Did you take them with you?"

Xiao Jinchuan nodded: "I misunderstood you before and said so many unpleasant things to you. I was wrong. I apologize to you."

Song Yunqing didn't show it on his face, but he was very happy in his heart.

It was really worth it for her to set up this plan.

She pretended to speak earnestly and said, "I don't want your apology, but please don't make such random assumptions about me in the future, okay? I'm willing to go to the island with you."

Xiao Jinchuan felt a little embarrassed and just said hesitantly, "I understand."

When the car passed by Jinghua Department Store, Song Yunqing saw several portraits posted outside, which were quite realistic.

It was exactly the same outfit as the middle-aged woman she had been dressed in before.

The store entrance is heavily guarded, and everyone who enters must look carefully.

"The streets have been quite chaotic lately."

Xiao Jinchuan was just making small talk.

Song Yunqing lowered the curtains and leaned back with a clear conscience: "Maybe he has done too many evil things and this is his retribution."

The car drove all the way to the dock, where the boat was waiting.

Cao Sixing stopped the car, helped them take out their luggage, and carried it onto the boat one by one.

"Okay, just send it here."

Xiao Jinchuan took the small bag from his hand and slung it over his shoulder.

There was a flash of reluctance in Cao Sixing's eyes. He had been following Xiao Jinchuan since he first joined the army. Because he was young, Xiao Jinchuan took good care of him.

Almost treats him as his own brother.

Now that we have to separate suddenly, I really feel reluctant.

He looked at Song Yunqing and took out the candy from his pocket: "Sister-in-law, I don't have anything to give you. Although this candy was given to me by the company commander, I am now offering it to you. Please... take good care of the company commander on the island."

Although Xiao Jinchuan had been promoted to deputy regiment commander because of the trip to the island, Cao Sixing still stubbornly called him company commander.

Song Yunqing felt mixed emotions. After going around in circles, the candy actually ended up back in her hands.

Seeing that she was reluctant to extend her hand, Cao Sixing forced it on her. With red eyes, he saluted Xiao Jinchuan with a standard military salute.

Xiao Jinchuan returned the gift, then looked at Song Yunqing: "Take it, it's a token of his love."

Song Yunqing nodded. It seemed like a farewell between life and death. She didn't like such scenes.

"Don't be reluctant to leave. Maybe you can come back soon. Then we can still be good brothers."

She was not lying. Xiao Jinchuan would be promoted soon and would come back in glory.

And then... uh... deal with her.

The two of them didn't take these words to heart at all, and just thought that Song Yunqing was comforting them.

The boat gradually sailed away from the port, and Cao Sixing's figure became a small dot.

The salty and humid sea breeze blew in her face, and Song Yunqing finally felt that they were really going to the island.

The two men sat on the deck, leaning against the railing, looking at the calm sea in the distance.

Xiao Jinchuan spoke first: "Did you give me that candy?"

"Yes, but didn't you give it away again?"

Xiao Jinchuan was a little surprised: "I thought you were hinting at me."

A question mark slowly appeared above Song Yunqing's head: "I'm hinting at you? What?"

"I'm hinting that marrying me won't even get you candy like this."

Song Yunqing: ...

"You're quite good at making up your mind."

She held the candy in her palm and played with it, shaking it twice before it landed steadily in her palm.

"Then if you eat it now, I will believe that you have truly changed your ways."

Looking at the candy handed to him, Xiao Jinchuan took it without hesitation, peeled off the candy wrapper and threw it into his mouth.

It is not the common milk candy on the market, but has a rich fruity flavor.

Natural and fresh.

Xiao Jinchuan then remembered what Cao Sixing said, that this candy was 30 cents each, and it was true that you get what you pay for.

"I'll have them bring some for you when the next supply ship comes back."

"I won't eat it. I'm almost tired of it."

Modern candies come in all shapes and sizes, but this one is a very basic style. It’s just become very popular, so most people have never seen it.

Xiao Jinchuan, however, heard another layer of meaning: "I know your family is rich, and marrying me is considered marrying down. And the old hen and pig's trotters you bought for me to nourish my body were all paid for by yourself. I will always remember your kindness."

Song Yunqing looked at him jokingly: "Are you sure you're remembering my kindness? Not my previous unreasonable behavior?"

Not to mention, it even rhymes.

“Both.”

Song Yunqing watched the coastline in the distance gradually disappear into the distance, and then he spoke: "Have I never told you about my life story?"

Song Yunqing's words were carried into Xiao Jinchuan's ears along with the sea breeze. She tried hard to suppress the nausea of ​​seasickness.

"Aren't you the adopted daughter of the Song family?"

Song Yunqing opened his thin lips slightly: "No."

Xiao Jinchuan cast a surprised look at him: "No?"

"My real identity is Song Yaohua's biological daughter. I was mistakenly taken away from Song Yunyi when I was born. I was found a while ago, but they didn't like me, so they asked me to marry you instead of Song Yunyi."

How could she say so casually that her parents didn't love her?

"Why don't you like it?"

"Because I grew up in the countryside, I've brought shame upon them. I'm not as noble as Song Yunyi, and my presence is a constant reminder that their daughter was raised to be a waste."

Song Yunqing looked at Xiao Jinchuan's face and said, "So, I was acting up before because I listened to Wang Xiulan. I felt unbalanced, thinking that we are all daughters of the Song family, so why can they live a life of luxury while I can't?"

"But now I've figured it out. We're not the same kind of people at all. There's no need for us to pursue the same lifestyle."

Song Yunqing's tone suddenly became serious: "Xiao Jinchuan, I apologize to you for my unreasonable behavior before."

Xiao Jinchuan obviously didn't expect that there was such a connection here.

I had heard Song Yunqing say before that she was marrying in for Song Yunyi, and I thought she was talking about an adopted daughter.

I didn’t expect that the current Song Yunqing is the real eldest daughter of the Song family.

Listening to her calm tone as she spoke of her suffering, Xiao Jinchuan actually felt a little pity for her.

Looking at Xiao Jinchuan's moved face, Song Yunqing knew that he must have forgiven him.

"I've told you my secret now, you can't think of abandoning me anymore."

Xiao Jinchuan nodded, but then felt it wasn't serious enough, so he said, "I understand."

Suddenly a sea breeze blew, causing the ship to sway from side to side.

Only then did Xiao Jinchuan see that she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and didn't even have any thick clothes.

"Wait here, I'll go get something."

Song Yunqing nodded.

Xiao Jinchuan is indeed a good man. No wonder he can become the affectionate second male lead in the book. At least he can forgive the people who caused such a huge trouble in the past.

Song Yunqing suddenly felt a little sorry for Xiao Jinchuan. The final outcome of such a person was to live out his life alone.

What a pity.

But now that she's here, as long as we don't get divorced, at least she can be my companion.

When Song Yunqing heard footsteps behind him, he saw Xiao Jinchuan holding a coat in his hand.

The wind and waves grew stronger and stronger, and the boat swayed like a leaf in the waves.

Song Yunqing grabbed the railing. He was already a little seasick, and now he felt even more nauseous.

A wave hit from a distance, and Song Yunqing slipped and was about to fall.

A strong arm suddenly wrapped around her waist...
