After a pause, Qiu Ran continued:
"Two days later, Wanwan came back and there was nothing unusual."
Song Rushuang felt even more strange:
"Since my aunt is back, why doesn't she come back?"
Duan Zhiyang, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke at this moment:
"Mom is unhappy, so she wants me to come back first."
Anyway, although Zhou Qingwan said that she was unhappy, no one could tell why she was unhappy.
Duan Dinglan and Song Rushuang looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.
"Comrade Xiao Qiu must know where my sister is. How about I go find her?"
She would definitely not feel at ease if Duan Dinglan went back like this.
Song Rushuang also knew what she was thinking.
But at this moment, Song Rushuang had other ideas.
"Mom, since my aunt didn't come back with Brother Xiao Qiu, she must have her own considerations. If you rashly go to look for her, it will disrupt her plans."
Qiu Ran nodded:
"Xiao Qi is absolutely right. Don't worry, Sister Duan. After I drop Zhiyang off here, I'll go and accompany her immediately. I won't let anything happen to her."
Song Rushuang thought about it for a moment, then reached out and tugged at Duan Dinglan's sleeve, then nodded slowly at her.
Duan Dinglan felt a lot more at ease knowing that her daughter also had the same idea.
She raised her head and said to Qiu Ran solemnly:
"Comrade Xiao Qiu, I am leaving my sister in your care. You must tell her that I don't care about others. I only know that she is my biological sister. You must take good care of her and bring her back to me safely."
Qiu Ran rarely said seriously: "Don't worry, she will understand."
After leaving Duan Zhiyang behind, Qiu Ran hardly stayed.
After he left, Duan Dinglan had a lot of questions to ask.
Before she could ask Duan Zhiyang, he spoke first:
"Auntie, I'm so tired and want to sleep."
Duan Dinglan looked at the time and said quickly:
"Okay, okay, if you're tired, take a nap first. You two brothers and sisters should take a rest. Today, your aunt will take you home."
It just so happened that Song Rushuang was also a little sleepy, so she didn't refuse Duan Dinglan's proposal.
There were upper and lower bunks in the same room. Song Rushuang, who was sleeping on the lower bunk because of a leg injury, could always feel that Duan Zhiyang, who was sleeping on the upper bunk, was not asleep.
He was turning over about every two seconds.
It can be seen that he is worried.
After a pause, Song Rushuang thought for a long time before asking:
"Little cousin?"
As soon as Song Rushuang's voice came out, the noise of turning over on the upper bunk stopped abruptly.
Song Rushuang sighed slightly.
He really didn't fall asleep.
"My little cousin seems to be troubled by something. Do you want to talk to Xiaoqi about it?"
Duan Zhiyang didn't respond.
Song Rushuang probably knew what he was worried about.
So, even if Duan Zhiyang didn't say anything, she didn't seem to be angry at all.
"Xiao Qi, I promise you that I will never tell anyone else what you told me."
This time, Duan Zhiyang spoke:
"What if it was your aunt who asked you?"
Sure enough, he was hiding it from Duan Dinglan.
Song Rushuang didn't even think twice and immediately responded, "Don't worry, I won't be the first to tell my mother!"
She just made a verbal agreement.
The moment Duan Zhiyang didn't speak, Song Rushuang herself was very nervous.
She herself was not sure what Duan Zhiyang would choose.
If he still refuses to speak, there is nothing I can do to make him speak.
Song Rushuang couldn't use force or threats on her cousin, right?
Fortunately, the situation was better than Song Rushuang had expected.
After thinking for a while, Duan Zhiyang moved down from the upper bunk.
Looking at his red eyes, I don’t know when he cried.
Song Rushuang felt her heart tighten.
"Little cousin, what's wrong?"
"Xiao Qi, my mother may not come back."
Song Rushuang immediately looked at him in surprise and subconsciously asked:
"What do you mean you won't come back?"
Duan Zhiyang's fair face turned red at this moment, and he looked at Song Rushuang very sadly:
"She doesn't know it herself. At night, I hear her crying and she can't sleep all night, but she will pretend nothing happened the next day."
After he said this, Song Rushuang roughly understood.
No wonder Duan Zhiyang had such an idea.
But in her opinion, the situation is far from being so serious.
Song Rushuang stood on tiptoe like a little adult, stretched out her hand and touched Duan Zhiyang's head. She tried to make her voice warmer:
"Little cousin, your aunt loves you so much, she will definitely come back."
If Duan Zhiyang was really so insignificant to Zhou Qingwan, she wouldn't have lived alone with him and his widowed mother for several years without abandoning him.
Thanks to Song Rushuang's comfort, Duan Zhiyang got a moment of peace.
He also came out of his nervous mood.
But he still didn't figure it out.
Song Rushuang had no choice but to comfort him again:
"Little cousin, if your aunt is really someone who gives up easily, she wouldn't have persisted with you for so many years. So, you have to have faith in her."
Duan Zhiyang's mind was relieved, but he was still a little unsure:
"But, but she didn't say when she would be back."
Duan Zhiyang suddenly lost interest:
"She doesn't want me to stay with her. I wonder if that man..."
Who else could the man he was talking about be except Duan Qinzhi?
"The situation won't be that serious. Even if your uncle really has some news, think about it. What kind of news will affect you? So, I think your aunt just got some news and is in a bad mood."
Duan Zhiyang's expectant gaze fell on Song Rushuang:
"Really?"
Seeing his change of heart, Song Rushuang quickly seized the opportunity:
"Of course it's true. She doesn't want you to be with her because she's afraid you'll worry. When she's no longer sad, she'll come back to us."
After Song Rushuang's persuasion, Duan Zhiyang felt relieved.
Song Rushuang clearly felt that he was like a balloon that had just been deflated.
After the extreme tension, there is the extreme relaxation.
This time, he was really sleepy.
Song Rushuang quickly arranged for him to rest first.
After his breathing became even, Song Rushuang tiptoed up and left the room very slowly, closing the door gently.
When Song Rushuang walked into the living room, she saw Duan Dinglan sitting in a rocking chair by the window in a daze.
She didn't know what she was thinking, and her expression looked a little sad.
Song Rushuang called her several times, but she didn't come back to her senses immediately.
Until she staggered in front of Duan Dinglan, then reached out and tugged at her sleeve:
"mother."
