Chapter 44: Finding out that the man in the tree is him
"This way the kitten won't fall into the well."
Shen Jinxiao patted the dust off his hands and looked up at the kitten in the tree, "Now we should quickly catch the cat down. It looks like it wants to jump down."
The landlady smiled awkwardly and unnaturally let go of Meng Shuyue's hand.
Meng Shuyue on the side was stunned. He moved away from the man's biceps that he had just tensed, and swallowed subconsciously. Why did even this powerful arm look so familiar?
She shook off her confused thoughts, turned her attention back to the kitten in the tree, and stretched out her hand to try to teach it to walk back from the branch.
"Huahua, be good, go back and come to me. I'll give you some dried fish."
As Meng Shuyue spoke, she took out a paper bag from her pocket. Inside was some dried fish that she had just bought at the market that morning. She bought them especially for Huahua to eat.
She found Huahua in the crack of the wall of an old house at the corner of the street when she came out of Shen's house.
Seeing it shivering and hiding in the corner, she felt sorry for it and brought it to the Chinese medicine clinic.
Who would have thought that this little guy would be so naughty when he came here. I hadn't seen him for a while and he actually climbed up the tree.
Meng Shuyue held up the dried fish and lured it back step by step. He stumbled and tripped over a stone and almost fell.
A big hand from behind held her shoulders firmly and steady her.
Meng Shuyue felt her heart skip a beat. She looked up along the man's broad and warm palm, then to his muscular arms, then to his broad and flat shoulders that were big enough to fit her entire head. Finally, her eyes met the man's concerned peach blossom eyes, "Thank... Thank you..."
This time, Meng Shuyue could clearly feel that his breathing had become a little faster, and his legs, which usually walked very fast, became a little weaker.
The last time my legs felt weak was when I was rescued from a tree.
Damn, this familiar feeling makes me shudder.
Even the feeling of the man's thin callus on her shoulders through the thin cloth was so familiar that it made her blush.
Shen Jinxiao didn't notice the little girl's face suddenly flushed, he just supported her steadily, but his eyes were fixed on the kitten in the tree that didn't dare to move.
"The kitten probably doesn't dare to come down. I'll go up and pick it up."
Without waiting for Meng Shuyue to react, he had already jumped onto the tree branch with his long arms. His long legs wrapped in loose army green trousers clearly showed off his tight and strong leg lines because of his movements.
The man moved nimbly on the tree branch, which made the landlady below very happy.
"This kid has a great body, no, he has great skills!"
But Meng Shuyue below was watching the man approaching the kitten slowly and smoothly, and his head suddenly made a buzzing sound, and the memory that seemed bad but was actually not bad flooded into his mind again.
During the flood, after she regained her sanity, she hurried to keep a distance from the soldier who saved her, but he kept chasing her, as if he had tasted something new, and forced her to the end of a tree branch.
At that time, she was just like the little cat on the tree now, which was so scared that it kept backing away and trembling.
The masked man on the tree reached forward with his big hand, grabbed the kitten and held it in his arms.
This scene was inexplicably merged with the scene of the flood rushing under the tree, and the handsome soldier stretching out his arms, pinching her waist with his palms, and whispering "danger".
Meng Shuyue's originally flushed face now turned pale.
The man on the tree was holding the kitten at this moment. He fell into the mortal world like a banished immortal from high above. He jumped in front of her, holding the soft and helpless kitten in his arms, and touching its furry head with his big hands, which felt like scratching her heart, making it itchy and unbearable.
"Look, I saved it."
The big man, who was two heads taller than her, was like a big kid asking for reward at this moment, staring at her expectantly, waiting for praise.
Meng Shuyue's eyes fell on the man's mask which had slipped down a little when he jumped off the tree.
At the top of the mask edge is a high nose bridge.
She once touched that high nose that could pierce a girl's heart.
She has also experienced the burning sensation of a soft nose pressing against the collarbone.
At this moment, Meng Shuyue felt as if the blood in his body had solidified, and even his heart, which had finally calmed down, was trembling.
Hands are faster than brains.
Meng Shuyue raised her hand and, under the man's expectant gaze, reached out and pulled off the man's mask.
Suddenly, the yard was dead silent.
The landlady behind him stared in amazement at the strongman in front of him who instantly turned into an extremely handsome man, and she and Meng Shuyue both showed shocked expressions.
"It's you. You came to see me specially?"
Meng Shuyue's pupils trembled and he blurted out subconsciously.
Shen Jinxiao was asked so irrationally, thinking that he was indeed here to take her home today, so she smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, I finally found you."
Just as he finished speaking, a man's voice was heard calling from the shop outside.
"Miss Meng... I'm here..."
Meng Shuyue's face turned pale when he heard the noise outside.
Is that her husband coming to see her outside?
She is meeting her old lover here?
This is simply unfaithful to one's husband!
"Hurry up and leave, you stinky man," Meng Shuyue pushed the man in front of him towards the back door, "Hurry up and leave from here, don't come looking for me again!"
Shen Jinxiao was completely confused as he was pushed out of the small door in the backyard by his petite wife while holding the kitten. When he went out, because of his tall stature, his forehead hit the door frame, and his face turned red instantly.
Before he could ask what was going on, the young wife snatched the kitten from her arms with a fierce look on her face and slammed the back door shut.
Shen Jinxiao's body was stiff, and he stood there for a long time without coming back to his senses.
You just said you would do everything you can to keep him, but in the blink of an eye you changed to being merciless and driving him away?
He leaned against the wall, feeling dizzy for no apparent reason, and a wave of nausea surged in his throat. With a "wow" sound, he vomited acid all over the floor...
Under the signboard of Meng's Chinese Medicine Clinic in front, a tall, thin middle-aged man with a big belly walked in with difficulty, holding his waist. He looked very weather-beaten. He called her as he walked, "Miss Meng, why don't you stay with your parents and come here to open a restaurant?"
Meng Shuyue stood in the shop and looked at the big-bellied man who walked in. He felt like he was struck by lightning.
Is this her dear husband who has been in correspondence with her for more than a month?
Your belly is bigger than hers?
"Ms. Meng, what are you daydreaming about? Please give me some more anti-nausea medicine. I'm dying. I vomit everything I eat now. By the time my wife gives birth, I'll probably be dead too!"
The big-bellied man came in grunting, sat on the chair, covered his chest and started vomiting violently again, almost vomiting out bile.
Seeing him like this, Meng Shuyue finally remembered who this man was?
How could this be her husband whom she had never met?
It was just a patient she had seen a while ago.
Because his wife was pregnant, he, as a husband, suffered from morning sickness and even her belly became bigger, making him look unrecognizable.
At that time, both parents were confused by the man's symptoms and didn't know where to start.
It was only after Meng Shuyue found the symptom of morning sickness for his wife from a large number of difficult and complicated diseases that he dispelled the man's fear that he was suffering from an incurable disease.
Thinking of this, Meng Shuyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She put the flowers down and prepared to write the prescription, only to find that she was still tightly holding the mask that she had just pulled off someone's face.
Thinking of the grievance in the man's eyes when he was kicked out just now, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
She should have explained to him that she was married instead of driving him away so fiercely...
