Sheng Anning looked at Sheng Chengan in surprise: "No, when did you come back?"
Sheng Chengan calculated the time: "I arrived inland two weeks ago, and then dealt with some things before coming back."
Sheng An Ning didn't understand: "Did you see Zhou Shixun in Hong Kong? Is he okay? Is he in danger?"
Sheng Chengan didn't know either. After all, he had never seen Zhou Shixun when he was sober. He was always in a mess, and it was Zhou Shixun who splashed water on him to wake him up.
He shook his head and said, "It should be safe. They are on a protection mission. If they were in danger, it would have been reported on the international news. There would be no reports in Hong Kong newspapers. They will be fine."
Sheng An Ning breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they returned to the mainland, they would be safer. However, she didn't know what kind of mission they were participating in, so they couldn't come back for a while.
He muttered, "Anyway, Zhou Shixun said before that he would not be back until the Chinese New Year, and there is still some time before the Chinese New Year."
"Are you really planning to go to Hong Kong?"
Sheng Chengan nodded: "You also said that maybe there will be a miracle? And I want to help Zhu Zhu look after the things her father left behind. If she ever comes back, these things must be returned to her."
Sheng An Ning was silent for a while: "What if she never comes back? Do you have to stay in Hong Kong for the rest of your life?"
Sheng Chengan nodded: "If there is no miracle, I will stay there with her. It's my fault."
Sheng An Ning sighed in her heart, so what's the use? The person is gone.
The brother and sister sat there quietly without saying a word, staring blankly at the dark woods ahead.
It was not until Sheng An Ning felt too cold to stand that she stood up: "Brother, life is actually very long, and you never know where you will meet someone else. I hope that when you meet the right person again, you will not make the same mistake."
Sheng Chengan frowned: "Okay, you go back first, I'll sit alone for a while."
Sheng An Ning did not persuade him: "Okay, I'll go back first, you should go back early too, it's too cold, don't freeze yourself into a statue."
Having said this, he turned around and walked away quickly, walking faster and faster, until he was jogging, as if he could not stand the cold anymore.
In fact, the moment she turned around, she couldn't help but cry.
This was the first time she had seen her brother so sad and helpless, and she didn't know how to persuade him.
And she herself didn't believe in the miracles she was talking about.
Sheng Chengan sat in the cold wind for a long time, his whole body frozen stiff, before he got up and slowly left.
…
When Sheng An Ning got home, the three little ones lay down beside Zhou Chaoyang and listened to their aunt telling stories from the picture book.
A picture book has been told over and over again many times. The three children all know what will happen on the next page, but they still insist on listening to this story.
And I enjoy listening to it every time.
Zhou Chaoyang was already preoccupied with his story, so when he was telling stories to the three children, he was a little distracted and the order was a little messed up.
An An waved her hands: "No, no, there is no wolf."
Zhou Zhou also nodded: "This is not it."
Momo echoed his brothers and sisters: "No."
Zhou Chaoyang came back to his senses and looked at the comic book in his hand. The one in his hand was about a farmer and a snake, so why did he say it was a wolf? He rubbed his forehead and said, "Oh, Auntie did it on purpose to see if you remembered it. I didn't expect you to be so smart that you actually found out that Auntie was wrong."
Then he went to kiss An An: "Why is our An An so smart?"
An An giggled and hid in Zhou Chaoyang's arms, and the few of them made a mess.
Sheng An Ning walked in, having wiped away her tears, went over to pick up An An, and called Zhou Chaoyang to go upstairs to help her bathe the three children.
Zhou Chaoyang saw that Sheng An Ning's eyes were red and knew something had happened. He quickly got up, hugged Zhou Zhou, and took Mo Mo upstairs.
Zhou Hongyun was quite puzzled: "Why are you taking a shower so early today?"
I didn't think much about it. I waited until the children went upstairs before turning off the lights and going to rest.
The second floor temporarily became the world of Zhou Chaoyang and Sheng Anning.
In the bathroom, he filled three large basins with water and put the three little ones in. While Zhou Chaoyang was pouring water on An An, he whispered to Sheng An Ning, "What happened? What happened to Sheng Cheng An?"
When Sheng An Ning thought of Zhu Zhu's experience, her eyes could not help but turn red: "Zhu Zhu, something happened."
Zhou Chaoyang looked at Sheng Anning and knew that this accident was not a simple injury. He was stunned for a moment: "Gone? How come he's gone?"
Sheng An Ning simply said, "He fell into the sea and couldn't be found."
Zhou Chaoyang could empathize with the situation especially. He couldn't help but think of Lu Changfeng and lowered his head to silently give An An a bath.
Sheng An Ning didn't say anything and just wiped Zhou Zhou and Mo Mo's little bodies.
The three children didn’t feel their mother and aunt’s sadness at all. They were happily splashing water and giggling.
At night, Zhou Chaoyang also slept in Sheng Anning's room, and the three children slept in the small bedroom next door.
After the children fell asleep, the two of them lay in bed, neither of them spoke, but they couldn't fall asleep.
After a long while, Sheng An Ning sighed: "If my brother had your courage to love and hate, Zhu Zhu would not have been in trouble. He is very sad now, but I feel more distressed for the dead Zhu Zhu."
Zhou Chaoyang was silent for a moment: "But the living are the most miserable."
You will spend your whole life in guilt and self-blame.
Sheng Anning didn't know how deep Sheng Chengan's feelings for Zhu Zhu were. It was only after Zhu Zhu died that he felt guilty and faced up to this relationship.
Holding Zhou Chaoyang's hand, he said, "Lu Changfeng will be fine. If you are really worried, go find Dad and ask him to make an exception and help find Lu Changfeng's whereabouts."
Zhou Chaoyang said nothing, just staring at the ceiling.
Neither of them slept much that night, but they didn't talk much either.
The next morning, Sheng Anning and Zhou Chaoyang got up with dark circles under their eyes. When they went to have breakfast, Zhong Wenqing looked at them strangely: "Didn't you two sleep well last night? Why are your eyes so red? And your dark circles are so heavy."
Zhou Chaoyang yawned: "It's okay, I was chatting with my sister-in-law and accidentally got late."
Zhong Wenqing looked at Sheng Anning with concern again: "You can't stay up late with Chaoyang even if you have a day off today. Eat dinner and then go to sleep for a while."
Sheng Anning was worried about Sheng Chengan: "It's okay, I have to go out soon, and I can't sleep at night after sleeping during the day."
Zhong Wenqing was surprised: "You are going out again, can you come back for lunch?"
Sheng An Ning couldn't say for sure: "You don't have to wait for me to eat, I might come back a little later."
Zhong Wenqing exclaimed, turned around and glanced at Zhou Nanguang: "Your dad said there will be guests coming at noon, do you want to stay at home?"
