As soon as the call was connected, Shen Mingzhu smiled widely and said in a sweet voice, "Auntie Wu! You are finally back!"
"Miss? Are you okay?"
"What can happen to me? You don't know how happy I am now..."
"But you left the Shen family!" This was the first time that Aunt Wu interrupted Shen Mingzhu so seriously.
She knew that if she didn't say it, Shen Mingzhu would definitely make excuses.
Sure enough, Shen Mingzhu only frowned slightly and then recovered, "Of course I have to leave the Shen family when I go to school, don't worry, Aunt Wu."
"It's all my fault. I failed to protect you. Anyway, I'm old, and there's no point in staying in the Shen family."
After saying this, Shen Mingzhu could no longer pretend to be relaxed. "No, Aunt Wu, you are confused. I will retire in a few years anyway. There is no need to leave."
"But……"
"No buts. Don't worry. My birthday is next week. I will go back to see you. Don't say anything discouraging to ruin the atmosphere!"
If there is anything in the current Shen family that Shen Mingzhu still misses, it is probably Aunt Wu.
She is the only one who witnessed "Shen Mingzhu" bullying Shen Yuan and still stood firmly on Shen Mingzhu's side and protected Shen Mingzhu.
He is also the person who gave me warmth when I first came into this world.
No matter which Shen Mingzhu, Wu Ma has extraordinary significance.
Mother Wu wanted to say something, but Shen Mingzhu changed the subject. After calming Mother Wu down, Shen Mingzhu reluctantly hung up the phone.
A cool breeze gently blew on Shen Mingzhu's cheek, and her eyes were clear.
Perhaps, it is time to settle accounts and completely draw a line with the Shen family.
She is not the original Shen Mingzhu, and she doesn't have much affection for the Shen family.
If the Shen family treats her well, she would certainly be happy to continue maintaining this relationship.
But the problem now is that everyone in the Shen family wants her to leave, so she will do as they wish.
There is no need to focus her energy on these people. Perhaps by leaving the Shen family, she can completely break away from the past and live a brand new life that belongs only to her.
Shen Mingzhu, feeling refreshed, returned to the dormitory with her hands full of snacks.
Wen Shuangnian was staring at his cell phone intently and didn't notice Shen Mingzhu coming back at all.
"What's wrong?" Shen Mingzhu put down her things and moved closer to Wen Shuangnian.
Wen Shuangnian slowly raised his head and asked, "You're back?"
Shen Mingzhu curled her lips and said, "Yeah, no one has paid attention to me for a long time since I came back."
Wen Shuang smiled young, revealing the dimples on her cheeks, "No, I'm just thinking about tomorrow's arrangements."
Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but rub her furry head, "What are you thinking about? Didn't you agree to accompany me?"
"But, this is something I promised a long time ago, but due to some things, I have not decided on the specific time until now."
Shen Mingzhu understood her concerns.
On the one hand, she had already agreed to it, but she also said that she had to accompany Shen Mingzhu this week, so she was in a dilemma and didn't know how to decide.
"It's okay. At worst I can go with you. It should be okay for you to take me with you, right?"
Wen Shuangnian was instantly enlightened, "Yeah, why didn't I think of bringing you along?"
"So, there's nothing to worry about. Come and see what delicious food I brought you."
Early the next morning, Shen Mingzhu was pulled out of bed by Wen Shuangnian and set off.
Wen Shuangnian was still thinking that it was not a good idea to wake her up so early, "Why don't you get some sleep and I'll go alone."
Shen Mingzhu suddenly came to her senses and shook her head vigorously, "No, I can't leave you alone. I should do what I promised you."
What Shen Mingzhu didn't expect was that Wen Shuangnian was working as a volunteer at a welfare home in a desolate mountain area.
In fact, it’s not very deserted, but compared to the bustling city of Kyoto, it is indeed a little different.
After a busy morning, the director of the welfare home said in the afternoon that the children were all taking a nap, and those volunteers who didn’t want to take a nap with them could walk around the back mountain.
Beware of some pitfalls though.
Fresh air and greenery everywhere, such a natural environment obviously attracts Shen Mingzhu more.
So after the dean said this, Shen Mingzhu couldn't wait to drag Wen Shuangnian to explore the woods.
Wen Shuangnian was of course happy to accompany her. It was rare to see Shen Mingzhu so excited.
Unlike Shen Mingzhu, Wen Shuangnian basically grew up in such an environment since childhood, so he followed Shen Mingzhu relatively calmly.
When they reached a small hill, Shen Mingzhu's eyes were unconsciously attracted by a strange object with bright colors.
Before Wen Shuangnian could stop her, he heard a "bang" and Shen Mingzhu disappeared from his sight.
Wen Shuangnian pushed aside the bushes and looked for a long time, only to hear Shen Mingzhu's cry.
"Frost Year! Wuuuu! Save me!"
Wen Shuangnian then realized that Shen Mingzhu seemed to have fallen into a trap for catching animals.
The entrance to the cave in that place was extremely narrow and was blocked by bushes. If Shen Mingzhu hadn't made a sound, it would have been basically impossible to find her.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Wen Shuangnian lay at the entrance of the cave and looked down.
Shen Mingzhu tried hard to stand up, but the severe pain in her ankle made it unbearable for her to move even a little bit.
“Hiss! That hurts!”
"Mingzhu?!" Wen Shuangnian tried hard to pull open the thing covering the cave entrance, and her panic was obvious in her cry.
The dim light coming through the cave entrance allowed Shen Mingzhu to barely see the surrounding environment.
There was a closed bear trap at her feet, and the brightly colored object that attracted her to fall was just a piece of plastic.
