In the quiet room, Cheng Jingmo waited for a long time, but there was no answer from Yu Xiangnian. Then he heard her soft sobs.

"Niannian..." Cheng Jingmo turned over, wanting to hug her in his arms, but worried that Yu Xiangnian would dislike him, he paused in mid-air and retracted his hand, "Niannian, don't cry, we can talk about anything nicely."

"Cheng Jingmo, I just feel bad. I think I'm very selfish." Yu Xiangnian said with a sob, "I know that if this happened to me, no matter how far I went, you would definitely not want to leave me, but I can't do it like you."

"The night it happened, I was alone outside thinking about it all night. No matter how I thought about it, I couldn't accept the fact that I could continue living with you after you had sex with someone else."

"Later, when I knew you didn't do it, I started to think about what happened between you two. Did you kiss or touch each other? Where did you kiss and touch? Were you as emotional as when we were together?"

Yu Xiangnian burst into tears as she spoke these words. "I knew you were out of control, but I still hated you and loathed you. Why did you go home with her? Why did you undress her? I tried to convince myself over and over again not to dwell on these meaningless questions, but I kept getting bogged down in them."

"I can't tell anyone these words. I bottle them up inside, and every day I cycle through pain and self-healing. I feel hypocritical, selfish, and petty, and I'm angry at how you could be so careless. Anyway, I feel a mixture of emotions, and I'm miserable."

"Over the past few months, I've thought about killing that woman countless times, but she's locked up and I can't even see her. I can't get rid of the anger in my heart."

Cheng Jingmo also felt a variety of emotions in his heart, heartache, self-blame, guilt, and touching...

He stretched out his arm and gently placed it on Yu Xiangnian's waist. "Niannian, I was careless in this matter. What can I do to heal the scars in your heart?"

Yu Xiangnian snorted, "Don't touch me!"

Cheng Jingmo's hands remained motionless, and he moved closer to her. "You are not selfish and pretentious, you care about me. Even if it is selfish and pretentious, I like it very much, which means you love me very much."

"Who loves you so much?!" Yu Xiangnian pushed his hand that was on his waist away. "I'm possessive! I can't let anyone else touch my things!"

Cheng Jingmo grabbed her hand and leaned closer to her. "I didn't touch any important parts. I washed the parts that were touched very cleanly."

Yu Xiangnian: "The chest is also a key area."

Cheng Jingmo finally got close to her, his chest pressed against her back, "I really washed it clean, even a layer of skin was rubbed off."

Yu Xiangnian: “…”

Cheng Jingmo kissed her hair and said, "Okay, say everything you've been holding back. Will it make you feel better?"

Yu Xiangnian said, "You must be saying I'm a troublemaker in your heart. You're the one who's been victimized, yet you still try to appease me!"

Cheng Jingmo buried his face in the back of her neck, breathing in her scent, "You've touched my heart."

Yu Xiangnian was still very pretentious and didn't turn around, but being hugged by Cheng Jingmo like this, she fell asleep quickly tonight.

Cheng Jingmo listened to her even breathing, and his heart, which had been uneasy for a long time, finally calmed down.

He was not afraid of Yu Xiangnian scolding him or being mean to him, but he was afraid that Yu Xiangnian would ignore him.

Yu Xiangnian said so much tonight, which shows that Yu Xiangnian is willing to help him open up his heart.

When Cheng Jingmo and his colleagues returned to the army, they reported to their superiors and requested a secret investigation into Wu Xiaomin.

It is now mid-August and the three children are on vacation. Yu Xiangnian wants to take the children back to Nancheng to visit his family.

Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangyang also took advantage of their vacation to accompany them back to South City.

The previous few times I went home, An An and Ke Ke were still carried on my back, but this time they were able to walk in front and lead the way.

Xiaojie has grown up. He will enter the third year of high school in September and will be a college student next year.

Now there are four adults and two children.

On the train.

Yu Xiangyang lowered his voice and said, "Niannian, when we get home, you have to stop Dad."

Yu Xiangnian rolled his eyes in disdain, "Aren't you brave enough to take responsibility and face death with equanimity?"

Yu Xiangyang said: "It doesn't matter whether I live or die. Dad is about to retire, and I can't let him lose his integrity in his later years."

Yu Xiangnian scoffed, "Dad, this is called killing one's own relatives for the sake of justice. Maybe because of this kind of justice, he can make a comeback! After all, he has no shortage of sons!"

Yu Xiangyang: “…”

He suspected that Yu Xiangnian had deliberately chosen this time to go home so that Yu Jiashun could punish him and vent her anger.

The development of things was not what Xiangyang expected.

As soon as he stepped into the house, Yu Jiashun's belt fell on him.

Cheng Jingmo quickly looked over and saw that Yu Jiashun was not carrying a gun.

In this case, just fight however you want.

"Dad!" Yu Xiangyang had already been hit twice. He was only wearing a thin shirt, and the belt hitting him hurt so much. He wanted to run but didn't dare. "You're old, don't be so violent!"

"You kid, do you think I don't have enough strength and the beating you don't have is not satisfying?!" Yu Jiashun said as he increased his strength, causing Yu Xiangyang to grimace in pain.

My brother and sister-in-law had not returned from get off work yet, but Yu Xiangnian, Zhao Ruozhu, Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie all turned a blind eye to this.

An An was still worried about his uncle. He originally wanted to run over to protect his uncle, but he was afraid that the belt would hit him. After thinking about it, he ran over and hugged Yu Jiashun's thigh, "Grandpa, don't hit my uncle!"

Yu Jiashun hit him five or six more times, but for An An's sake, he spared Yu Xiangyang for the time being.

Yu Jiashun hadn't seen his grandchildren in over two years. He put away his belt, bent down and touched An An's head, "Why do you look so much like that silly uncle?"

"What are you talking about?!" Zhao Ruozhu poked Yu Jiashun, "The child can understand!"

Not sure if An An understood, he walked up to Yu Xiangyang with concern, "Uncle, let me help you blow it."

"You're still the most reliable." Yu Xiangyang twisted his body and said, "Later, your uncle will take you to eat ice cream."

Everyone sat in the living room and chatted. Having not seen his parents for more than two years, Yu Xiangnian could see that they had obviously aged a lot.

Yu Xiangnian felt sad and prayed in his heart that his parents would be safe and healthy.

"Xiangyang." Zhao Ruozhu looked at Yu Xiangyang, "Starting tomorrow, you will have two blind dates every day. I have arranged everything."

Yu Xiangyang's jaw dropped. "I'll be in Beijing from now on. Why are you arranging a blind date for me?"

"What's wrong with being in Beijing?" Zhao Ruozhu said, "I'll live in the family housing complex and my job can be transferred there. There are many people willing to do that."

Yu Xiangyang was helpless again, "Where did you find so many blind dates for me?"

Zhao Ruozhu said: "From the youngest to the most advanced, as long as you are healthy and have good character, it's fine."

Yu Xiangyang: "You guys aren't even bothered by gender?"

Zhao Ruozhu wanted to slap him, "What's the matter? Are you looking for a man to come back with?"
