As soon as these words came out, Sheng Wu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her with confusion, "Why? Don't you want to leave with me?"
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't." Shen Qinghuan raised his hand and touched her head soothingly, his expression solemn.
"I am a member of the Shen family. If it were a peaceful and prosperous time, I would be able to leave with you without any scruples. But now, foreign enemies are invading and the country is in turmoil. As a father and eldest brother, I cannot ignore it. And as a member of the Shen family, and as someone who is determined to return to the country to save it, I cannot just leave at this time."
Although their father rarely showed affection to his three children, he never lacked anything for them except love. He sent them abroad to study and brought them up very well. They all understood family and country, benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom. Otherwise, the eldest brother would not have joined the army and made an exception to become the young marshal with his own punches and guns.
And she and Shen Zheliu would never have gone to the military academy for training.
The only surprise was her forbidden relationship with Sheng Wu.
After a pause, Shen Qinghuan looked at her with a serious and determined look in his eyes, "But the only thing I'm worried about is you."
"Now that the north has fallen, even though Sijiucheng is a major city in the south, I'm worried about any accidents. So, it's best for you to leave."
While father and elder brother are not paying much attention to Sheng Wu.
Hearing this, Sheng Wu's pupils trembled, "So... you are preparing to serve your country?!"
"Yes." Shen Qinghuan nodded seriously. "When I was studying abroad, I not only learned translation, but also some knowledge about marching and fighting. Moreover, I have been to a military academy. It is most appropriate for me to stay here at this time."
She learned all those things back then for this day in the future, but she didn't have the ability to tell fortunes, so she didn't expect to have an extra concern today.
"Can......"
Sheng Wu frowned and subconsciously wanted to say something, but just as she uttered a word, she met Shen Qinghuan's cold yet determined eyes, and the words she wanted to persuade were stuck in her throat.
After a moment of hesitation, Sheng Wu suddenly threw herself into Shen Qinghuan's arms.
"I won't leave!"
"If you can stay and serve your country, then why should I enjoy the peace you give me?"
Shen Qinghuan choked. She had expected Sheng Wu to disagree, so she sighed softly, "But if you stay, it's very dangerous here."
Sheng Wu refused to leave no matter what, "But you are here."
This sentence made Shen Qinghuan stop trying to persuade her.
Sheng Wu continued, "You can stay for your ideals, and I won't dissuade you. I can also stay for you, and you should respect my choice."
Shen Qinghuan looked at Sheng Wu's fearless expression, and was stunned. The confusion in her mind was relieved. Yes, from the time Sheng Wu knew her thoughts until now, he had never persuaded her to leave, but chose to stay with her.
She understands herself, so how can I make decisions for her in the name of doing good for her?
She had always wanted to give Sheng Wu freedom, let her leave the Chen residence and leave the city of Sijiu. However, when this day really came, her decision had invisibly deprived Sheng Wu of her rights and put her in shackles.
The moment he thought it through, Shen Qinghuan hugged Sheng Wu tightly and said three words at the first moment.
"sorry."
"Awu, I made the decision for you on my own initiative." After a pause, Shen Qinghuan's eyes were complicated. "Okay, then we won't leave. We'll all stay."
Even so, the result of staying is likely to be tragic.
Sheng Wu then smiled happily and hugged her back tightly, "Well, I forgive you."
......
The situation in the country has indeed become tense.
When Sheng Wu sent Shen Qinghuan out to take a car to find Shen Guiwu, she found that there were many more patrolling soldiers on the street of Shen's house, and the vendors who used to set up stalls had closed their businesses and fled.
In short, the entire city was in a state of high alert.
"Awu, I'm going to help my father and get a detailed understanding of the situation. It's best for you to stay in the Shen family and not come out."
Shen Qinghuan sat in the car and looked worriedly at Sheng Wu who was escorting her outside.
Hearing this, Sheng Wu nodded seriously, "Yes, I know. Please be careful on the road."
"Well, let's go back."
Then, Shen Qinghuan left in a car.
Sheng Wu's eyes darkened slightly, and she took Chunxi back to the house.
......
afternoon.
Sheng Wu was sleeping alone in a rocking chair in the back garden of the main courtyard. Suddenly, she felt someone staring at her with an aggressive gaze.
It's not something that Shen Qinghuan or Shen Guiwu would have.
Sheng Wu frowned, then suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and looked coldly at the direction of that gaze.
"who!"
In an instant, she narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at the man two meters away from her. He was leaning against a rattan chair with his long legs crossed, his head tilted nonchalantly, his diamond-shaped sexy lips slightly pursed, and he was looking at her with an innocent yet aggressive look.
Sinking willow.
Chen Zheliu, who had originally gone to Shen Junsheng's place, now appeared here. Sheng Wu continued to lie on the rocking chair, looking at him with her eyes open, her tone light.
"Zheliu, is there something wrong?"
"Little Mom is awake."
Seeing that she woke up, Shen Zheliu smiled on his harmless face, and he did not hide the sadness in his eyes at all. As expected of twins, he also had Shen Qinghuan's brown pupils, but the color was darker, and looked like the reflection of a clear lake.
"It's okay... Can't I just come and chat with you?" He half-closed his eyes, with a hint of exploratory playfulness in his gaze.
"Of course not."
She looked at him with her beautiful eyes, and suddenly her lips lifted slightly, whispering softly.
"Then what do you want to talk to me about, second son?" Sure enough, the fox's tail could not be hidden.
