Believe me, how long I will wait for you
When Huo Chengfeng woke up, it was already bright.
He rubbed his aching forehead and looked to his side, but Shi Mingzhu was no longer there.
He felt cold all over instantly and immediately got up to look for Shi Mingzhu.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard Shi Mingzhu scolding Yangyang.
"You woke up so early today, little brat?!"
Huo Chengfeng leaned against the door frame and looked at the two people, one big and one small, and breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Shi Mingzhu would leave without saying a word, after all, they had such a fierce argument yesterday.
He walked over, called out to Chen Mingzhu, and looked at her, not knowing what to say. Instead, Shi Mingzhu, as if she had forgotten the heated argument between them last night, asked him in a calm voice.
"What time are you leaving today?"
"Let's finish breakfast." On the day he came back, he agreed with his comrades where to meet.
Today he and his comrades are going to the county by bus and then by train, so time is very tight.
He looked at Shi Mingzhu hesitantly, "Mingzhu, I want to go to the photo studio today to take a family photo of the three of us."
Shi Mingzhu said "oh" in a flat tone without any ups and downs, and did not look at him, "It's up to you."
Her cold attitude made Huo Chengfeng feel a little uncomfortable. She had been so vehemently against him last night, and now...
He looked at her, frowning in distress, but he was still willing to apologize first, "Mingzhu, I'm sorry, next time I have something to discuss with you in advance."
Shi Mingzhu looked down at her son in her arms and smiled self-deprecatingly. Discuss? I don’t know if there will be a future.
Huo Chengfeng heard her subtle sneer. He felt uncomfortable and assured her, "Mingzhu, believe me. Even if something really happens, I will definitely protect myself and come back alive."
He walked closer to her and suddenly held her face in his hands, making her look at him.
Mingzhu didn't know what he wanted to do. She was too lazy to struggle. The next second, she heard him say seriously, "Mingzhu, I hope you believe me, and only believe me. I will come back alive, and you can't look for anyone else."
At the end, his tone was clearly pleading.
Shi Mingzhu was also stubborn. Just because she didn't glare at him didn't mean she wasn't angry. "Why do you ask me to be a widow for you? I'm going to find you!"
Huo Chengfeng was irritated by her, angry and aggrieved. He also had something he couldn't understand, "Why do you think I won't come back just based on a dream? If you keep saying this, I will be sad too."
"Then why did you abandon your wife and children to go on a dangerous mission without consulting me? Didn't you think that I would be sad too?"
"I'm about to leave. Why are you saying such angry words? Aren't you afraid of disturbing my mind?" Huo Chengfeng also felt aggrieved and began to complain.
Shi Mingzhu pursed her lips and did not retort, and took his hand away the next second.
They hurled insults at each other, and Huo Chengfeng knew that if they continued, they would just start quarreling again. He surrendered first. He took his son from her arms. This time Mingzhu did not resist. He couldn't help but thank the little guy in his heart.
Although he can't speak and is a little small, he plays a big role. As long as it involves children, Shi Mingzhu will not resist his approach too much.
He smiled and asked her opinion cautiously.
"Let's stop arguing and go out for breakfast."
Shi Mingzhu looked at Yu Meizhen who came out of the kitchen behind him.
"Chengfeng, come and have breakfast. I heard from Mingzhu that you are going back to the camp and may not be able to come back in a short time. I fried some crispy cakes for you. You can take some away later."
Huo Chengfeng: "Okay, just put the biscuits in my luggage bag. And mom, Mingzhu and I won't have breakfast at home. Let's take Yangyang out to eat."
Huo Chengfeng had already packed his luggage after the quarrel last night. He took it out and asked her mother to put the biscuits in it.
"Okay, you two go eat, talk nicely and don't quarrel again." Yu Meizhen glanced at Shi Mingzhu and reminded them.
Huo Chengfeng nodded, "I know, Mom will have to work hard for a while, and everything will be fine when I come back." Huo Chengfeng had already made plans. After completing the escort mission, he would definitely strive to get a place in the special zone police station.
Shi Mingzhu watched the mother and son talking, then turned around and walked out.
Yu Meizhen nodded with satisfaction and waved her hand, asking him to catch up with Shi Mingzhu.
Huo Chengfeng nodded, holding the child and carrying the luggage, he strode after Shi Mingzhu. The family of three found a roadside stall and ordered two bowls of egg noodles.
While eating, Huo Chengfeng opened his mouth every time to say a few words to Shi Mingzhu, but was shut up by Shi Mingzhu every time with the words "eat quickly".
He thought to himself, he has such a bad temper. With a helpless sigh, I had to eat the noodles first.
After eating egg noodles, the family of three went to their next destination, Meifang Photo Studio, the only photo studio in Xitai Town.
Arriving at the photo studio, the light in Shi Mingzhu's eyes suddenly became even dimmer. She looked up at the studio's doorplate absentmindedly.
Sure enough, just like in the previous life, the door was not opened.
Even the stall selling buns in front of Meifang Photo Studio has not set up yet.
Huo Chengfeng didn't expect that the door was not opened.
It came true the dream he had half a month ago. So what was he dreaming about? Precognitive dream? !
In just a few seconds, Huo Chengfeng broke out in a cold sweat.
He turned his head to look at Shi Mingzhu, and she turned her head to look at Huo Chengfeng. The two looked at each other in silence for a while.
Shi Mingzhu originally wanted to laugh at Huo Chengfeng, but she couldn't laugh. They were people with the same suffering, and Huo Chengfeng was even worse off than her.
She had been in a bad mood since yesterday, and now she couldn't laugh anymore.
"See, I was right, wasn't I? The door wasn't open."
"Let's go." She said, and turned away. She didn't want to stay any longer.
After walking for a while, she suddenly stopped, and Huo Chengfeng, who was following her and carefully recalling the details of his dream last night, also stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Shi Mingzhu stared straight ahead, her voice vague and uncertain, "Huo Chengfeng, look at that person in front, is he the photographer?"
She turned to look at Huo Chengfeng and asked him to give an answer.
Huo Chengfeng looked forward and saw a man and a woman in front of them, who were walking towards them while talking.
But he had never seen the photographer from Meifang Photo Studio, so he didn't know if it was true.
But if it is, it’s worth being happy about.
"It's them, a man and a woman. They are the photographers in Meifang Photo Studio." Shi Mingzhu confirmed. She had never been to the photo studio here, but she had passed by the entrance of the photo studio several times and had seen the photographers.
Shi Mingzhu looked at the two people approaching step by step, wanting to cry and laugh at the same time.
This is different from my previous life!
Chen Meifang thought that there was a man and a woman on the street who looked very strange. One of them was holding a child and they kept staring at her and her husband. Their naked, eager eyes were really creepy.
She took her husband and walked away quickly. After opening the door and entering the store, she felt much more comfortable without those two eyes staring at her.
But the comfort only lasted 10 seconds, as she saw the two weirdos walk into her photo studio.
"Madam, we want to take a family photo." Huo Chengfeng said.
Chen Meifang uttered an "oh" in a daze, and then she asked her husband in a low voice, "Do you want to take a picture of them?"
Her husband, Mr. Lin, didn't understand what his wife said and asked, "How can we not do business?" As he spoke, he guided the two of them to stand in front of the camera.
"Comrade, do you want to take color or black and white photos?"
Huo Chengfeng: "Color photo."
"Okay."
Under the guidance of Boss Lin, the two of them took three sets of twenty family photos holding Yangyang, two of which were given by Boss Lin.
"Would you two like to take some photos together? I'll ask my wife to help you look after the kids."
Huo Chengfeng lowered his head and asked Shi Mingzhu, "Do you want to take a picture?"
Shi Mingzhu looked up, her eyes bright as she said, "Shoot!"
The two took another group photo before calling it a day.
The only pity is that even if you expedite the development of the photos, it will still take two days to finish.
After leaving the photo studio, Shi Mingzhu and Huo Chengfeng walked for a long distance with different feelings. Huo Chengfeng looked at the gradually increasing number of people on the street, and he turned to look at Shi Mingzhu.
The same thing.
"Mingzhu, you must have faith. I will definitely come back alive."
When Shi Mingzhu heard this this time, her mood had changed a lot compared to last night.
She continued to listen to Huo Chengfeng.
"I will come back safe and sound. You must wait for me and not look for anyone else!"
It’s no wonder Huo Chengfeng said that, he was really afraid that Shi Mingzhu would do that.
Although those were words spoken in anger, he dared not take it lightly. Shi Mingzhu would hit him at will, and would scold or talk back to him without considering the person, but only who was right or wrong, just like his father, his mother, and Huo Chengyu.
What she said in anger was exactly the truth. So he remembered everything Shi Mingzhu said when she was angry last night.
"Mingzhu, wait for me to come back, okay?"
Huo Chengfeng looked at her expectantly, hoping to hear a pleasant answer.
"I definitely hope you come back safely. No matter what happens, as long as you can come back, that's enough." Shi Mingzhu nodded at him. She made him retire and prevented him from carrying out the mission. Her only motivation was that she wanted him to be alive and that Yangyang had a father.
Huo Chengfeng smiled bitterly. He looked at her beautiful face and suddenly realized that his feelings for her were deeper than hers for him.
The realization was sad, but luckily, they got married. He clenched his hands tightly, he wanted to live and continue this luck.
Shi Mingzhu took Yangyang from his arms to her own hands, thought for a moment, and then reminded him, "Remember to be careful with cars, check the car before getting in, don't drive if you can, don't sleep in the car, and make sure you are safe first in case of danger, understand?"
Huo Chengfeng looked at her and reached out to tidy up the hair around her ears. "Is this what you dreamed about?"
"Yes," Shi Mingzhu admitted generously, "My dream is true, and my words are true, so you have to listen to them."
"Okay." Huo Chengfeng nodded with a smile.
He was very touched by her concern. She didn’t know that he also had a dream, and didn’t know what the connection was between her dream and his dream?
He hugged her, lowered his head and solemnly kissed her forehead. He looked into her eyes, reluctant to leave, "Mingzhu, wait for me to come back and take you to the Special Zone!"
"Then I'll share one of my secrets with you."
Shi Mingzhu chuckled and just asked him, "How long do I have to wait for you?"
Huo Chengfeng said, "Maybe one month will be enough? Two months at the latest."
