After saying that, Wang Shaole glanced at Wang Shaoqiang.

My mother loves my younger brother more, which is what my classmates call favoring boys over girls.

Fortunately, this arrogant younger brother listens to me in everything, otherwise I would have run to Shenzhen City to live with my aunt.

Song Guiying said: "Even if your younger aunt gets married, she won't be like your older aunt. Your younger aunt is now staying in Shenguang City and can come back a few times a year, which is almost the same as getting married."

Wang Shaole turned his head away and didn't want to talk. Every time his grandmother urged his aunt to get married, his aunt would be in a bad mood and think that no man was worthy of her.

It takes a day to drive back to Beijing from Shenzhen. When it was getting dark, Wang Shuning parked his car in front of the hotel and booked a single room.

“Does the hotel have a restaurant?”

The front desk staff smiled politely and replied: "Sorry, our hotel does not provide food and beverage. There are several good restaurants across the street. You can go and try them."

Wang Shuning turned his head and looked, and saw many lights on on the first floor opposite.

After returning to the room and putting down his luggage, Wang Shuning locked the door and prepared to go across the street to eat.

The front desk staff was checking in the check-in information. "There is one last single room available. It is close to the main road on the west side and is a bit noisy at night."

"It's okay, this is it." Qi Jianping was wearing a black windbreaker and a hat because his hair was too short.

The two people passed each other in the stairwell. Wang Shuning lowered his head and didn't see anyone. He only knew that someone passed by.

When turning the stairs, Qi Jianping's eyes caught sight of the woman's back at the door.

He turned around suddenly, rushed down the stairs with a few big steps, and when he reached the door, he blurted out: "Wang Shuning?"

Two meters away from the door, Wang Shuning turned around, blinked, and was surprised, "Qi Jianping?"

Qi Jianping had already walked up to her and stood still. "It's me. Long time no see."

I seem to have said this many times, and the feeling is different every time. My heart is pounding and I can't suppress the raised corners of my mouth.

Wang Shuning nodded. It had indeed been a long time since they last met. It had been about ten years, right?

"Why are you here?"

Qi Jianping swallowed his saliva and said, "The army is on holiday, I plan to go to Beijing to play."

She appears here at this time, probably going home for the New Year.

I was originally thinking of going to Shenzhen and Guangzhou, but now there is no need.

Wang Shuning nodded. The army finally had a holiday, but instead of going home to be with his family, he came out to travel alone. His personality has changed a lot.

"Are you going to eat? Let's go together. I'm going too."

Wang Shuning's eyes moved away from the bag in his left hand. "Put your luggage in the room first. It's inconvenient to carry it."

Qi Jianping looked at the front desk and said, "I'll put it on the front desk. Please wait for me."

The two crossed the street and walked to the other side and entered a Sichuan restaurant.

Qi Jianping's voice was a little low, "I haven't seen you for so many years, but you haven't changed at all."

Wang Shuning soaked the dishes and chopsticks in boiling water and said, "After so many years, how could it not have changed at all?"

"Are you going back to Beijing?" Qi Jianping asked.

Wang Shuning nodded, "Yes, I didn't go back last year, and this year my family urged me to go back."

Qi Jianping brushed aside the scallions and ginger on the boiled fish and said, "Then we're on the way."

Wang Shuning raised his eyes and said, "Why don't you travel with your family? It's only a week until New Year's Eve."

Qi Jianping's words were tentative, "When the Chinese New Year comes, many relatives come to my house, and all the aunts and uncles are urging me to get married. It's better to go back after the Chinese New Year and hide away."

Wang Shuning was a little surprised. Qi Jianping hasn’t gotten married yet?

"At our age, our family members are really pushing us hard."

Qi Jianping was secretly delighted and suddenly changed the subject, "Five years ago, Liao Tingming's son celebrated his first month. He told me at the time that he wanted to invite you, but unfortunately he didn't have your contact information."

"Really? After leaving Jinshan Island, I haven't contacted anyone from before, and I haven't called everyone. Unless we meet by chance, I can't see each other at all."

The girl at the front desk was telling the truth. The food at this Sichuan restaurant was really good, spicy and numbing, and the fish slices were very tender.

Seeing that her expression did not change, Qi Jianping said, "That's true. China is so big, and we all went our separate ways. It's fate that we met today. Back then, when I joined the army, I never thought I would be assigned to Jinshan Island, and you happened to be there."

Wang Shuning paused for a moment and continued eating. "Our destinations are different, so even if we were destined to be together, we can only be separated."

Qi Jianping's expression faded. "What if the destination is the same?"

Wang Shuning looked up at him and said, "The end point cannot be the same."

After dinner, Qi Jianping followed Wang Shuning. Their rooms were adjacent to each other. After opening and closing the door, they became two separate enclosed spaces.

Qi Jianping sat on the bed, staring at the wall between the two of them for a long time, as if he could see Wang Shuning through the wall.

Ten years have passed, everything has changed, yet it seems like nothing has changed.

The next morning, when Wang Shuning opened the door with his luggage, the door next to him opened.

"Together? It just so happens that you can lead the way for me."

Wang Shuning turned around silently. Even if he didn't lead the way, they were all driving to Beijing, so they still had to go the same way.

Along the way, Qi Jianping drove behind Wang Shuning's car.

The car didn't stop until Wang Shuning drove into the South City Compound.

You still have to find an opportunity.

"Aunt, aunt." Wang Shaole saw the car and immediately ran towards it to shout for help.

Wang Shaoqiang followed behind his sister.

I opened the car door and the whole family came up to help with the things.

"Little Shaole has grown taller again." Wang Shuning took her little niece's hand. She liked her older niece more than her nephew.

When Song's mother came forward, she glared at her younger daughter. No matter how beautifully she dressed up, it was of no use if she drove home in a car, as long as she didn't have a useful son-in-law.

"Mom, being angry makes you age quickly. Don't frown all day long." Wang Shuning came forward and pushed Song's mother into the house.

Song's mother complained: "It's because of you that I'm angry."

Wang Shuning rubbed Song's mother's shoulders in a flattering manner: "You are not angry with me at all. It is obviously you who have been thinking nonsense all day long and can't think it through. You are so old now, think about it, you see I am living a good life now."

"What's good about that? You're all alone in such a faraway place. If you get sick, there won't be anyone to take care of you. And when your father and I are gone in a few years, there won't even be anyone who cares about you."

Wang Shaole, who was standing aside, immediately shouted, "I am still here. When my aunt gets old, I will take care of her."

Mother Song stole a glance at her daughter-in-law. I felt that it was dangerous.

"Ring, ring, ring~"

Wang Jianjun went to answer the phone, "Hello, looking for Mr. Wang? Little sister, looking for you."
