Gu Qichen said softly with red eyes: "Uncle Song, what are you doing..."
Song Ruyuan smiled faintly: "I don't plan to get married, and you are alone, so it's good for us to be companions."
Gu Qichen's eyes were shaken, and he couldn't help but clench the household registration booklet in his hand, unable to say anything.
I don’t know if it’s because he was abandoned since childhood, so he really longs for family affection.
He was terrified of being without his family.
Song Ruyuan looked at the grown-up boy in front of him and recalled the time when he picked him up.
It was in the early 1960s. After giving the money, my grandfather left. On his way back, he saw a boy of four or five years old lying in the water, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
He was not surprised at all to see this scene, because that place was too close to the border and that period was a time of chaos, and many families abandoned their wives and daughters because they did not have enough money for boat tickets.
There will be other surprises.
The child had a high fever, so he took him home and consulted several doctors, who all said that if he didn't survive the night, he might die.
He took good care of him all night, and fortunately, his fever went away.
But it must be because of soaking in water for a long time. After the high fever was cured, other problems followed.
The doctors at home advised him to just give up, as it would cost a lot of money and energy to raise the child.
It's just a strange child, why bother...
But for some reason, Song Ruyuan just wanted this child to live.
For him, he even stole a century-old ginseng from Mr. Song and was beaten up afterwards.
The child gradually recovered.
But I have forgotten some things. I don’t remember my name or who my parents are.
Song Ruyuan saw the word "Gu" on a piece of jade he was wearing, so he named him Gu Qichen.
The child has been raised in the Song family. Every time he exercises at home, little Gu Qichen will always follow behind him.
As the child grows older, his skills become more and more powerful.
Sometimes he asks, why should I learn these?
Gu Qichen always said: "I want to help you, please don't leave me."
Song Ruyuan didn't know what scenes were in his memory and why he was so afraid of being abandoned.
The teenager has extraordinary skills.
He must have discovered what he was doing, so he secretly looked for desperate people with nowhere to go.
Keep them around and, as he said, start helping Song Ruyuan.
He saved him, actually he had no other purpose, he just felt that the child should not die.
It's a very strange feeling.
Song Ruyuan looked at Gu Qichen thoughtfully, "Achen, do you still have any memories of your childhood? Do you remember your other relatives?"
Gu Qichen's face suddenly changed, and his eyes dimmed: "I don't remember."
The corners of his lips turned pale, and he felt the temperature around him slowly draining away. A strong sense of hostility surged in his heart. He looked up at Song Ruyuan and said, "Uncle Song, I don't want to have any other relatives. You are enough for me."
Song Ruyuan was shocked, feeling the chill coming off his body, thinking that this child must have a miserable life.
Forget it, I won’t ask anymore.
He has grown up and should know what to do with his own affairs.
He stood up, patted his shoulder, and said softly, "I'm leaving first. Come to my house for dinner when you're all right."
After Song Ruyuan left, Gu Qichen sat in the chair for a long time.
Although he had lost some of his memory, he seemed to vaguely remember that he was thrown off the boat.
That person seems to be his relative? ...
He was only four or five years old at that time. If anyone could be so cruel as to throw him into the sea, it must be in order to take his life. Why should he care about such a relative?
Military compound, Zhai family.
After lunch, Shen Xingzhou walked out of Zhai’s house.
"Brother Shen, wait..." There was a burst of hurried footsteps behind him. He turned around and looked at Zhai Mu Ning who was running towards him. He said calmly: "Is there something wrong?"
Zhai Mu Ning calmed down his breathing and whispered, "Brother Shen, I've graduated."
Chen Xingzhou looked at her in confusion. Although he didn't know why she said this, he still said politely: "It's good, Mu Ning has grown up..."
Zhai Mu Ning blushed slightly and looked up at him, "Brother Shen, I can now go to work."
"I want to find a job in the same place as you, is that okay?"
Chen Xingzhou listened to her words, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and the faint smile on his lips disappeared, "Mu Ning, Uncle Zhai should be able to arrange something for you. You are still young, so it's best not to go too far away from home."
Zhai Muning felt extremely bitter. She heard her parents discussing finding her a salesperson job in Beijing yesterday.
But she had finally waited until graduation, and it was not easy for her to see Shen Xingzhou again, so she really didn’t want to give up this opportunity.
If this separation lasts for a few more years...
By then, I'm afraid it will be too late.
Restraining her nervousness, she blushed and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Shen, I..."
Zhai Muning pinched her palm with her nails and looked up at the handsome man in front of her, the man she had kept in her heart for several years.
Take up the courage and say: "I like you, can you..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the man in front of him suddenly change his expression.
Chen Xingzhou's eyes were cold and indifferent at this moment, and he spoke mercilessly: "Mu Ning, we haven't said a few words, you must have felt it wrong,"
Zhai Muning's breathing stagnated and he could not utter the rest of the words.
She looked at him in disbelief, as if she had not expected him to say that, and she had never expected that the usually humble, polite and noble boy would show such a look after she revealed her true feelings.
