Chapter 385 Haze
Shen Qingran frowned as she listened to Huo Tingxiao's words.
"What on earth did he do wrong?"
Huo Tingxiao lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Ji Qiubai called me this morning."
"Shen Jianming was involved in a cross-border goods fraud case. Two months ago, he met a man at the Canton Fair. The man promised to buy the mechanical parts he represented at a three-fold premium, inducing him to advance the payment for the goods. His boss naturally would not let him go, and now he can't be found. "
Shen Qingran clutched the hem of his shirt: "Then why did grandma suddenly go out of town? Why is she looking for someone?"
Huo Tingxiao stroked her red ear tips with his fingertips, "Lin Shulan, your grandmother, should have gone there for this matter. If I'm guessing correctly, she should have gone there to save someone."
"Also, there is something you may not know. In fact, when your grandmother was young, she also fought against the Japanese. Not many people know about this. If Ji Qiubai hadn't helped find someone to investigate, no one would have known about it."
"Ah?" Shen Qingran really didn't know, because her grandma had never mentioned it.
"I think the reason why your grandma went there by herself is probably because she had an old comrade there. I have asked Ji Qiubai to go find this old comrade."
"If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to find this person soon."
Shen Qingran listened, and kept recalling things about Shen Jianming in her mind.
But her parents abandoned her when she was young, and her grandmother rarely mentioned them in front of her.
So she really knew very little.
I know almost nothing about my parents.
Huo Tingxiao felt her emotional changes. He didn’t know what Ranran had experienced and why she felt so sad.
But this experience must have been unpleasant.
He had seen her in various states, but this kind of helpless and suffocating feeling was the first time.
"Ranran?"
Huo Tingxiao looked at her in this state, fearing that something might happen to her, "Don't think too much, it will be fine."
Shen Qingran felt a sudden pain in her nose when she heard his deep voice.
It's like a child meeting an adult he can rely on.
Tears just fell.
"Huo Tingxiao, I feel uncomfortable."
Huo Tingxiao patted her on the back and hugged her even tighter.
After a moment's silence, he whispered, "Ranran, I don't know what happened in your past life, but you still have me now."
As it slid down, tears welled up in Shen Qingran's eyes. This incident was like a scar that would never heal.
The trauma of her childhood seemed to have never healed and could never be healed. As she grew up, she slowly learned to conceal the dampness of her past.
But when you look back, you will find that the dampness will not disappear just because you grow up. Looking back, it still makes you feel uncomfortable.
She glanced sideways at Huo Tingxiao's worried eyes and her throat choked with sobs.
"I was abandoned by them when I was little. I always wondered if it was because I was disobedient or unlovable that they didn't want me."
"But I just found out today that they seem to have a daughter. The little girl is very cute and beautiful, and the woman likes her very much."
"I just want to ask them, why don't they like me?"
“I want to know why….”
Huo Tingxiao listened to her trembling voice, choking with pain.
My heart aches as if something is grabbing it tightly.
When Shen Qingran thought about the past, it was as if a wound was torn open.
Her chest heaved violently as she burst into tears.
Cry until you fall asleep.
Huo Tingxiao looked at her tear-stained cheeks and carefully wiped them clean with a hot towel.
Put down the towel and tuck in the quilt.
He never thought that his daughter Ranran was also a victim of family affection.
No wonder she compromised and got married for Mother Shen, and no wonder she was so filial.
It turns out that everything happens for a reason.
He had experienced the pain of not being loved by his mother and he knew it very well.
But I didn’t expect that Ranran was also the same.
As a gay man, I feel a little uncomfortable, let alone a lesbian.
Huo Tingxiao closed the door and walked downstairs.
When Shen Qingran woke up again, she was lying on Huo Tingxiao's chest.
Suddenly remembered something.
"Huo Tingxiao."
"Um?"
Huo Tingxiao reached out his hand in a daze and hugged the person back.
"Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Shen Qingran was anxious, "Don't sleep anymore. Don't you have to go back in the afternoon? What time is it now?"
Huo Tingxiao looked out the window and saw the sun shining brightly.
"Um?"
He circled her with a lazy look, "I'm not going back, Doctor Shen. If I'm punished, you will support me in the future."
Shen Qingran was almost laughing at his anger, "Hurry up and get up, it should be urgent now."
When Huo Tingxiao saw him get up, he pulled him back with force.
“Doctor Shen, I stayed up too late and my chest hurts.”
Shen Qingran pressed her face against his chest.
Boom boom boom.
"Where does it hurt? Let me see."
Huo Tingxiao grabbed her hand as she was taking her pulse and said, "I feel so bad. My Ranran is so good. Those two people are just blind."
Shen Qingran was stunned for a moment, closed his eyes, and suppressed his inner emotions.
Xu Yu reached out and patted him, "Huo Tingxiao, you have learned bad things."
Huo Tingxiao leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I will always be with you from now on, and I won't leave even if you chase me away."
Shen Qingran felt a little sour at the tip of her nose, "Okay."
"Are you hungry? Let's go eat?"
"You really aren't going back?"
Huo Tingxiao smiled: "Well, I won't go back."
Shen Qingran watched him stand up. His broad back gave her an inexplicable sense of security.
She reached out and put her arms around him from behind, rubbing her cheek against his back muscles.
Affectionate feelings flow in the air.
Huo Tingxiao took Shen Qingran's hand and walked out of the guesthouse, and the two planned to find something to eat.
"Have you ever been here before?"
"I passed by while doing a mission, but I didn't stop."
"There were comrades here before."
As they were talking, they arrived at a snack street.
There are many people coming and going.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Here, I saw quite a few people eating it yesterday."
Shen Qingran pulled Huo Tingxiao and looked around.
Finally, we chose a noodle shop that serves donkey meat hotpot.
The hot noodles were served on the table and Shen Qingran picked up the chopsticks to eat.
At this moment, many people nearby suddenly became agitated.
"Something happened."
"Ah? What happened?"
"What's going on?"
Shen Qingran looked at these people curiously.
"Hey, did you hear that there's an accident with a kid up ahead?"
"Go check it out quickly!"
"Oh my god, I'm going to check it out too. A little girl fell into the water."
Huo Tingxiao stood up quickly when he heard it, "Ranran, I'll go over and take a look."
Shen Qingran also followed.
At this time, the small river not far from the street was already surrounded by people.
"It has sunk, and there is no way to get it out."
"This is the third one. I think he is here for revenge."
"Help, help, please save my daughter."
Only then did Shen Qingran notice the man who was caught by several women by the river.
Is it her?
