It was cold, there were few pedestrians on the road, and the street lights were dim and cold.
Sheng An Ning looked stiffly at the man coming towards him. He was wearing a knee-length army green coat, which would look bulky on others, but on him, he looked as tall and straight as a pine tree.
Suddenly, a layer of fog appeared in front of her eyes, and she couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, but she knew that it was a familiar face.
Zhou Shixun also stopped and looked at Sheng Anning who was standing still. He rolled his Adam's apple and shouted, "Anning, I'm back."
He had just arrived home and had a short chat with his family. He didn't even think of looking at his child. Knowing that Sheng An Ning was still at school and hadn't returned home, he hurried out.
When he saw Sheng An Ning at this moment, he suddenly felt a little strange and a little scared. His memory was still of Sheng An Ning pregnant with a big belly.
He was afraid because there was a scar on his face. He remembered Sheng Anning said that she liked good-looking guys, and if he became ugly, she would not like him anymore.
So after shouting, he looked at Sheng An Ning with an awkward look.
Sheng An Ning's eyes suddenly turned red, and she ran over quickly, jumped up and put her arms around his neck: "Zhou Changsuo..."
After saying this, she didn’t know whether she was feeling aggrieved or too happy, she was actually a little speechless and looked at Zhou Shixun with tears in her eyes.
Zhou Shixun held her up with his hands, watching Sheng Anning crying with a red nose, and kept saying, "Don't cry, I'm back, I won't leave anymore."
Sheng An Ning was held by Zhou Shixun, and was even taller than him. She lowered her head to look at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face. The originally handsome and cold face was hidden in the dimness, but she could clearly see the scar at the corner of his eye, which was like an earthworm, winding from the end of his right eyebrow to his temple.
It was exactly the same place where he was injured in his dream. He reached out and touched it, and said in a choked voice: "Zhou Changsuo, why did you come back just now?"
Although she came back nearly a month earlier than originally planned, Sheng Anning still felt it was not enough.
Zhou Shixun hugged her and wanted to say something, but he felt that nothing he said could express his feelings at the moment. He felt a little annoyed that he was too stupid to make Sheng An Ning happy.
Some people who were just off work at night passed by, a few young people. They saw people hugging each other on the side of the road, with the man holding the woman up. They couldn't help but look at her a few more times as if they were curious, and even whistled to make trouble.
Sheng An Ning didn't feel embarrassed and held Zhou Shixun tightly.
Zhou Shixun felt a little embarrassed and put Sheng Anning down: "Let's go home first, okay?"
Sheng An Ning waited for the group of people to walk away, then stood on tiptoe and kissed Zhou Shixun hard on the corner of his lips: "Go home."
On the way back, Sheng An Ning refused to walk properly. She held Zhou Shixun's hand tightly, then put it in his coat pocket. Her other hand also tightly held his arm, with half of her body hanging on him.
Zhou Shixun wanted to say that it was not very elegant to do so and it would not be good if others saw it, but when he lowered his eyes, he saw Sheng An Ning's eyes, which were washed by tears, were bright and shining with joy. The corners of her lips could not help but rise, and she swallowed the words that rolled to the tip of her tongue.
Sheng An Ning dragged Zhou Shixun for a while, feeling happy in her heart, and she felt that Zhou Shixun's coming back was not a dream: "Why did you come back early? Dad said you might not be able to come back until the New Year."
Zhou Shixun nodded: "Well, originally I was supposed to wait until the Chinese New Year to get home, but this batch of rotations was moved up, so I came back early."
It was because of a small accident that I came back early.
Sheng An Ning dug her fingers into his palm, feeling the warmth and thick calluses on it. She suddenly felt very at ease.
The crunching sound of the snow under your feet feels extremely pleasant.
"When did you get home? Momo, Zhouzhou and An'an, did they cry when they saw you? Did you hug them? Aren't they beautiful?"
Zhou Shixun was silent for a moment: "I just got home, put down my things and came to see you, I didn't pay attention to the child."
Sheng An Ning was stunned for a moment, then walked around to Zhou Shixun, forced him to stop, looked up at him carefully under the street light, and doubted the truthfulness of his words. Which father would go home without visiting a child he has never met?
Zhou Shixun lowered his eyes and looked at Sheng Anning, and answered seriously: "I saw that you were not at home, so I asked mom for the direction of your school and came directly here."
It seemed that there were not three children in the living room, otherwise he would have been able to take a look.
Sheng An Ning suddenly laughed and reached out to hug Zhou Shixun again: "I'm really happy that you said that, it means that I am the most important in your heart."
Then he curved his eyes and said, "Lower your head."
Zhou Shixun bent down obediently, and Sheng Anning kissed him, reluctant to leave.
She knew that Zhou Shixun had just returned, and the whole family must be waiting for them to go home. Once they got home, they would not have time to be alone together.
So, she had to seize the time and do what she wanted to do with Zhou Shixun.
Zhou Shixun felt that even though it was dark, it was still not good to do such an intimate thing on the road. Just as he was about to pull Sheng Anning's arm away, he heard her whispering softly in his ear: "Zhou Changsuo, I miss you so much."
This one sentence made Zhou Shixun's rationality disappear and his defenses break. He hugged her waist tightly, let her hold her tightly in his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her hard.
The corners of his lips were cold, yet they carried a scorching temperature, as if they could warm up the ice and snow.
Occasionally, someone passing by would be shocked. How could there be such a bold person? This was too shameless and too immoral. They would not dare to say a word and would quickly run away.
The house was in chaos because of Zhou Shixun's sudden return, mainly because of excitement.
Zhong Wenqing called out to her aunt to quickly prepare dinner. They had originally planned to eat noodles in the evening, but now she asked her to get out the meat quickly. It was too late and they couldn't buy anything else, so they just cooked whatever they could at home.
He kept talking to Zhou Hongyun, "I think Shi Xun has lost a lot of weight since he came back this time. He must have suffered a lot over there. He needs to eat some more to replenish his body."
Zhou Hongyun agreed: "Yes, I see there are scars on his face, he must have been injured. Oh, this must be suffering."
Zhong Wenqing didn't see it, and exclaimed: "There is a scar on the face? Why didn't I see it? Is it serious?"
Zhou Chaoyang was playing with her three children in the house at the time. When she heard the noise, Zhou Shixun had already gone to find Sheng An Ning. Now she saw Zhong Wenqing and Zhou Hongyun, who were busy like headless flies.
Even Zhou Nanguang and Zhou Shuanglu were sitting on the sofa happily holding their children and laughing. They couldn't help but laugh: "Mom, calm down a little. If you do this, my eldest brother will be scared."
An An twisted her little body in her arms, looked at the person who suddenly pushed the door open, and shouted with a giggle: "Susu..."
