Sheng Chengan was carrying a suitcase, looking exhausted, obviously having rushed here right after getting off the plane.
Sheng An Ning called out "brother" in surprise, and went over to ask questions like a string of bullets: "Brother? Why are you back? Did something happen in Hong Kong? Are you leaving now? Haven't you gone to your parents' place yet?"
I even wondered in my heart, did Sheng Chengan come back in a hurry because he knew about Pei Nuo's existence?
Sheng Chengan looked bewildered. Looking at his sister who had never been so enthusiastic, he became nervous: "What happened? I'm fine over there, but I have some documents to go back for. What happened to my parents?"
Sheng An Ning heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that he was back to get his documents. "You scared me. I thought something happened to you. Everything is fine at home, including my parents. By the way, they have moved to the courtyard. But you, why did you come back so suddenly without sending a telegram? You scared me."
Sheng Chengan sneered: "Look at your cowardice, are you scared by this? When did you become so timid? I didn't go to find them but came to find you first. I mainly wanted to find Zhou Luancheng. He works in the public security system. Can he find a way to help me get some documents? I need to speed up a bit."
Sheng Anning was curious: "What certificate?"
"Work certificate from the original unit, transfer of household ration, and household registration transfer certificate. You also know how slow it is to get things done now. Many procedures have been going through for almost a year, and they still haven't been approved for me. I can only look for Zhou Luancheng. I'm also anxious to get them."
Sheng An Ning knew that if she did something at this time, the work efficiency would be very slow. One process would take a long time, and there were many lengthy and tedious procedures, and she had to find someone to sign and stamp.
Besides, it's not that you go to find the person, but the other person happens to be in the office. If you encounter a propaganda campaign in the countryside, then the document will be left here, and you have to wait for the person to come back and sign and seal it before you can proceed to the next procedure.
He looked at Sheng Chengan with some sympathy: "I thought you were so powerful, but it's just a small matter, and you haven't solved it in such a long time."
Sheng Chengan tapped her head and said hello to Zhou Shixun: "Let's go to your house and sit for a while. I'm starving here. I didn't get a plane ticket when I came back, so I took the train. I didn't expect there would be so many people on the train at this time."
Speaking of going home, Sheng An Ning suddenly thought of Pei Nuo. In order to avoid Sheng Chengan being too surprised when he saw Pei Nuo later, she decided to tell him in advance.
After thinking for a while about the right words, he said as he walked: "A guest came to my house recently, please don't scare him later."
Sheng Chengan sneered: "Who? How can I scare others? I look scary?"
Sheng An Ning looked at her brother who was still elegant and casual. He didn't look sad, but he looked much thinner. She sighed in her heart: "Then I'll tell you, you should be prepared. My family has taken in a girl who looks 90% like Zhu Zhu."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sheng Chengan suddenly stopped and turned to stare at her: "What do you mean?"
…
After listening to Sheng An Ning's explanation, Sheng Cheng'an's brain could no longer think, even though Sheng An Ning had been emphasizing that the girl only looked like Zhu Zhu and there was nothing else similar about them.
When he sees it, he should not be too shocked, so as not to scare him. He also said that the girl's situation was special.
But Sheng Chengan couldn't listen to all this. All he could think of were girls who looked like Zhu Zhu, and very similar!
When he saw Pei Nuo when he entered the room, he was still stunned. He stood there in a daze. The box in his hand fell to the ground and hit his foot without him feeling it.
He stared blankly at Pei Nuo who was sitting on the sofa.
He didn't remember anything Sheng An Ning told him, he just stared at Pei Nuo, how could there be someone so similar in the world!
Thinking about it, he walked towards Pei Nuo uncontrollably: "Zhu Zhu..."
Sheng An Ning wanted to stop him but it was too late. She watched Sheng Cheng'an walk over, lean over and hug Pei Nuo tightly in his arms.
The force he used was so great that it seemed as if he wanted to rub Pei Nuo tightly into his flesh and blood, and he murmured, "Zhu Zhu, you are back?"
Pei Nuo's body was stiff and he arched his back as if he was trying to break free.
Sheng An Ning was afraid that Pei Nuo would be frightened, so she went over and pulled Sheng Chengan's arm hard: "Let go, let go quickly, brother, this is Pei Nuo, not Zhu Zhu! Calm down, you will scare her."
Sheng Cheng'an couldn't listen at all. The warmth in his arms made him feel that Zhu Zhu had returned. He held Pei Nuo tightly in his arms, using all his strength to rub her into his body, never to be separated again.
"Zhu Zhu, it's great that you're finally back. I will never say anything that makes you sad again. Please don't leave again, okay?"
He kept mumbling nonsense, and tears welled up in his eyes, falling heavily on Pei Nuo's face as he struggled with his face raised up.
Pei Nuo, who was struggling, was suddenly stunned. He just looked up blankly and looked at the crying Sheng Chengan.
Sheng Anning felt such a pain in her heart that she couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
It was half an hour later when Sheng Chengan calmed down, but he was still staring at Pei Nuo. He still couldn't believe how there could be two people in the world who looked so similar.
After coming out of his arms, Pei Nuo immediately hid behind Sheng An Ning, sat quietly with his head down, but his hands were tightly grasping the hem of Sheng An Ning's clothes.
Sheng Chengan still stared at Pei Nuo, and after a moment of silence, he asked Sheng Anning: "Has she been like this since she was a child?"
Sheng Anning nodded: "Yes, it has been like this since childhood."
Sheng Cheng'an spent an entire morning digesting the fact that Pei Nuo was not Zhu Zhu and realized that Pei Nuo just looked like Zhu Zhu.
But he couldn't face this reality. He looked at Pei Nuo from time to time. Every time he looked at her, he felt like his heart was on fire, and it hurt so much that it was difficult to breathe.
Because Sheng Chengan came over, Sheng Anning didn't go to school either. Zhou Shixun took a leave of absence and stayed at home, playing upstairs with the three children.
While Sheng Anning went to the kitchen to help cook, Zhong Wenqing and Zhou Hongyun went to the room to pack the things they were going to move.
Only Sheng Chengan and Pei Nuo were left in the living room.
Pei Nuo was still sitting on the sofa, just looking up at Sheng Chengan quietly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, as if he was looking at a painting.
Sheng Chengan tried to calm down and spoke to Pei Nuo in a very gentle tone: "I'm not a bad person, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, it's just because you look too much like a friend of mine."
"I'm sorry I scared you just now."
Pei Nuo still stared at him and blinked.
Sheng Chengan looked at those clear, emotionless eyes and found it difficult to speak. His heart was still heavy.
He looked so much like her, but there was no joy in his eyes as when he was seen.
So, after all, she is not her.
Seeing that Pei Nuo still ignored him and even shrank back, he stood up and wanted to go out to smoke a cigarette and get some fresh air so as not to scare Pei Nuo.
When passing by Pei Nuo, he saw Pei Nuo moving on tiptoe and reaching out to grab the corner of Sheng Chengan's clothes.
