Chapter 16 The Coachman's Dark Moonlight Green Plum 15
Zhao Huaxing glanced at Chen Qidong, who was still standing beside him, and then touched the only two boat tickets in his bag. He really wanted Shen Xinran to give up Chen Qidong, but he knew without a doubt that Shen Xinran would not agree.
Zhao Huaxing said to Shen Xinran seriously: "I have bought the ticket, you wait here first!"
After Zhao Huaxing finished speaking, he walked towards the crowd. Shen Xinran could only ask, "Where are you going?"
Zhao Huaxing frowned, "I only bought two tickets. I'll go see if anyone is willing to sell them at a high price."
Shen Xinran blinked and smiled faintly: "Then put your luggage here, I'll help you guard it."
Zhao Huaxing thought about it and felt that it made sense. It must have been quite heavy for him to carry such a large bag around.
He turned around and put the bag at Shen Xinran's feet.
When he looked up, he saw Shen Xinran staring at his luggage intently.
Zhao Huaxing didn't think much about it and smiled, "I tell you, this is my wife's book. If you lose it, you will be the first one to be punished."
Shen Xinran nodded, his voice clear and crisp, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep it safe."
Watching Zhao Huaxing turn and leave, Shen Xinran suddenly remembered that she had an important line yet to say, so she shouted at Zhao Huaxing's back: "Don't you like me? As long as you save me and my brother, I will marry you."
Zhao Huaxing paused, then smiled broadly, his eyes gleaming. "You said it, don't go back on your word!"
Zhao Huaxing was so excited that Shen Xinran felt a little embarrassed, so she nodded gently.
Zhao Huaxing trotted away like a child, but Shen Xinran felt inexplicably sad. After what happened today, Zhao Huaxing must have hated her to death.
Shen Xinran took a deep breath, turned around and said to Chen Qidong with a smile: "Let's go!"
Chen Qidong was still a little confused. "Where are we going? Didn't Zhao Huaxing ask us to wait for him here?"
Chen Xinran looked helpless, "If it were you, would you be willing to sell the ticket you snatched with great difficulty at a high price?"
Chen Qidong stopped talking.
"Two tickets are destined not to accommodate three people." Shen Xinran sighed.
After hesitating for a long time, Chen Qidong finally picked up his luggage and followed Shen Xinran silently. He knew that if he stayed, he would only wait for death.
Zhao Huaxing finally found someone willing to sell him the tickets at a high price, even though it would cost him all his savings. But Zhao Huaxing felt that as long as Shen Xinran was happy, it was all worth it.
After Zhao Huaxing made an appointment with the ticket seller, he came back full of hope to get the money.
What awaited him was a lone pillar. Gone, everything! His money was gone, his ticket was gone, and Shen Xinran was gone too.
Zhao Huaxing didn't want to assume the worst of Chen Xinran, so he searched around the dock.
Suddenly, as if he had a feeling, he looked towards the boat he was supposed to be on.
His sight pierced through the turbid sky, passed over the shoulders of the crowd, and fell on a familiar face.
It’s Shen Xinran!
He watched Shen Xinran check in with his luggage and board the ship, with Chen Qidong following behind her.
Zhao Huaxing smiled, but that smile seemed so sad.
He didn't understand. He could clearly take all three of them away, so why was she unwilling to believe him and why did she abandon him?
The ticket seller was still urging: "Do you still want the ticket? If you don't, I will sell it to someone else."
Zhao Huaxing felt as if every nerve in his body was twisting and every cell was tearing apart. He smiled and shook his head, "No need."
A gust of wind blew, Shen Xinran stopped and wiped his eyes with his hands.
Chen Qidong asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Shen Xinran shook his head, "It's okay, sand blew into my eyes."
After Shen Xinran finished speaking, he and Chen Qidong got on the boat.
Zhao Huaxing froze in place. Had she just cried? Did that mean she didn't want to abandon him either? Thinking of this, Zhao Huaxing chuckled and turned to leave.
The setting sun lengthened Zhao Huaxing's back, forming a sharp contrast with the people who were desperately trying to squeeze into the dock.
Everyone said that staying would mean death, but who could say for sure? He refused to believe it! He wanted to fight against the heavens!
…
It was three years ago that the M Army laid siege to the city.
Everyone thought that Huajing was finished, even the people in Huajing City thought so.
But at some point, a new group appeared in Huajing City. Most of them were rickshaw drivers. Relying on their understanding of Huajing's terrain, they engaged in a guerrilla war: advancing when the enemy retreated, harassing when the enemy camped, and attacking when the enemy tired. They forged a bloody path through the 100,000-strong M army.
"I heard that the current ruler of Huajing City is named Zhao. He used to be a rickshaw driver, but now he's a big shot. He's in charge of an entire city, just as powerful as warlords from other places. He has a female student by his side who's as beautiful as a fairy..."
The storyteller was telling the story upstairs, and Shen Xinran was listening to it for fun below.
There is a small city below Huajing City, and Shen Xinran has been staying here for the past three years.
From time to time, she would hear news about Zhao Huaxing, saying how powerful and remarkable he was, and how he had repelled the enemy again.
She would occasionally hear gossip about Zhao Huaxing, and without a doubt, she knew that the beautiful female student must be He Cuishan.
If Huajing is defeated, the M country army will definitely come to the small town. The small town is now stable because Zhao Huaxing is supporting it in the front.
Therefore, the people of the small town admire Zhao Huaxing just as much as the citizens of Huajing.
Thanks to Zhao Huaxing's unremitting efforts, the M country army realized that Huajing was a tough nut to crack and withdrew from Huajing half a year ago.
Chen Qingpeng was still thinking about saving the country through industry. After hearing about the reconstruction of Huajing, he went back without stopping.
Cao Xiuyun naturally had no choice but to follow them, as they also took Chen Qidong away.
The teaching level of the small town is really not as good as that of Huajing, so Chen Qidong chose Huajing to go to high school.
Shen Xinran stayed alone in the small town and walked from the south to the north in half an hour. It would be better to call it a town than a city.
But the small town has its own unique beauty.
There is a small river in the middle of the town, where women draw water for washing clothes and cooking.
Shen Xinran loved standing on the bridge and watching the women chatting while washing clothes. Their conversations were just trivial family matters, but with their unique local accents, they had a unique charm.
It only takes five minutes to walk down the small bridge and reach the house rented by the Chen family.
I took out the key and prepared to open the door, but saw an unexpected person at the door.
He was wearing a black robe, his facial features were sharper than three years ago, and his eyes had become unfathomable.
But why is he here? Shouldn't he be in Huajing preparing for reconstruction at this time?
Shen Xinran turned around and wanted to leave, but Zhao Huaxing's cold voice came from behind him. "Your parents are back, why don't you come back? Don't you want to see me, or don't you dare to see me?"
Shen Xinran could only turn around, but she didn't dare to say a word.
Because according to the plot, Chen Qingpeng's factory encountered trouble, and the Chen family had no choice but to let Chen Wanrong ask Zhao Huaxing for help.
It's not her turn yet!
Seeing Shen Xinran remain silent, Zhao Huaxing laughed self-deprecatingly, "It seems that you also know that you have done something wrong and you dare not come to see me."
Shen Xinran smiled stiffly, "It's not time to go back yet!"
Zhao Huaxing hummed and said to himself, "Okay, then come back with me."
Shen Xinran quickly shook his head, "I'm not going back."
Nonsense, if we go back now, the plot will collapse!
What Shen Xinran didn't know was that the plot had completely collapsed at some point she was unaware of.
