Inside the hospital, Xiao Weiguo and Zhou Ruolan were still waiting outside the operating room.
Almost an hour had passed, and there was still no news from the operating room, making the two people waiting increasingly anxious.
Looking at Zhou Ruolan, who was staring intently at the operating room door, her small hands clenching and unclenching repeatedly, Xiao Weiguo really didn't know what words to use to comfort her.
At the same time, he became increasingly curious.
What exactly is the relationship between Zhou Ruolan and Xiao Baojun?
Recalling the time he took Xiao Baojun home to get something, the first time the two met, Xiao Weiguo was certain that they hadn't met later.
He just couldn't understand why these two people, who should have been completely unrelated, would have any connection.
To ease Zhou Ruolan's anxiety, and also out of his own curiosity, Xiao Weiguo stretched his body and turned to ask Zhou Ruolan.
"Teacher Zhou, did you and Brother Baojun know each other before?"
Zhou Ruolan turned her pale face to look at him, nodded slightly, and then turned her head back. She didn't say a word.
Seeing that she refused to speak, Xiao Weiguo persisted and asked again.
"You've been waiting for him today, haven't you? What's up?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruolan seemed to be stunned for a moment before speaking softly after a long while.
"I...we had arranged for him to meet my mom after he got off work today."
"Go see your mother?"
Xiao Weiguo was also taken aback, then realized, "Is this about meeting the parents?"
"Are you two dating?"
The words that slipped out stopped Zhou Ruolan's tears temporarily. She turned and looked at Xiao Weiguo seriously.
"Is it not allowed?"
Xiao Weiguo waved his hand.
"That's not what I meant. I just feel a bit surprised. I didn't even know when you two started dating."
Zhou Ruolan shook her head and looked up as if she was recalling something.
"Actually, we've known each other for a long time, four years ago, right after I graduated from high school..."
Under Xiao Weiguo's guidance, she finally opened up.
It turns out that she and Xiao Baojun were high school classmates at the county's No. 3 Middle School.
Before graduation, the two sat at desks one behind the other. The beautiful and generous Zhou Ruolan was the goddess in the hearts of all the male students in the Third Middle School, and Xiao Baojun was no exception. He was deeply in love with this beautiful girl who was like a nightingale.
Although Xiao Baojun wasn't a great student, he was honest, kind, and very loyal, and had a good reputation among his classmates.
The two of them were so close that they gradually developed feelings for each other.
High school didn't allow dating, so the two of them initially kept it to themselves.
It wasn't until graduation that Xiao Baojun finally confessed his feelings to Zhou Ruolan.
The two of them, each with their own feelings for the other, quickly fell in love.
They overlooked one thing: the gap between their families was too great.
Although Xiao Baojun's grandfather was the village head, his family were all farmers at heart, and Xiao Baojun himself was not a good student, so he had virtually no hope of going to university.
As for Zhou Ruolan, although her family was of average means, her parents were government employees, and her mother was a well-known singer in her early years. Due to the downturn in the arts, she was unemployed at home, but she was still a worldly person with a broad perspective. She cared a lot about her reputation, so how could she let her precious daughter be with a farmer's child who had no future?
Despite her repeated attempts to stop them, the two were eventually forced to separate; one went to a teachers' college, and the other returned home to farm.
I thought that this innocent love story had come to an end, and that we would be separated forever, with no possibility of ever meeting again.
Unexpectedly, four years later, they met again at Xiao Guo's home.
Now, one of them is Xiao Weiguo's capable assistant, and the other is a primary school teacher.
In terms of identity and status, we are back to the same starting line.
First love is a seed of love in everyone's heart.
Whether man or woman, no matter how old they are, their first love will always hold a place in their heart.
No matter when, this seed will never die. Even if it is uprooted, it will miraculously take root and sprout again as long as it encounters suitable soil.
That encounter revived a seed that had been buried deep in their hearts for many years.
Through his own efforts, Xiao Baojun has become the deputy head of the business department, and his income is many times higher than that of the average person.
Identity is no longer the biggest obstacle between the two.
Unbeknownst to Xiao Weiguo, the two secretly met many times. The beautiful memories and the initial shyness and uncertainty bound them together once more. The flames of love that had been ignited quickly consumed them.
Today, the two of them had agreed to go to Zhou Ruolan's house to meet her parents again, hoping that they could see the changes in Xiao Baojun and approve of their relationship.
Who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen?
Xiao Baojun is now lying in the operating room, his fate unknown. One can only imagine how Zhou Ruolan must be feeling.
After hearing what she said, Xiao Weiguo smiled bitterly to himself.
Ultimately, they are all suffering because of their own actions today; it is a completely undeserved disaster.
If it weren't for my meddling, and if I had asked Jiao Bai to drive over and inquire after seeing Zhou Ruolan, they wouldn't have been targeted by Zheng Qiang's assassination attempt.
Perhaps right now, Xiao Baojun is sitting in Zhou Ruolan's house, receiving either pampering or judgment from his future mother-in-law.
But no matter what, things shouldn't end like this. Even if the mother-in-law is wicked, she can't be as ruthless as Zheng Qiang, right?
