Yuan Tingchuan half-hugged his beloved woman in his arms, washed the film with clean water, and occasionally bent down to kiss the woman's fair and delicate cheek.
Du Ruo leaned against Yuan Tingchuan's arms, her cheeks flushed.
Two people who have no idea what love is, quietly savor the taste of emotion, some are happy, some are excited, and some are slightly sad.
For Du Ruo, she was more at a loss as to what to do when her plans were interrupted. Yuan Tingchuan was not in her life plan, not in the past, and not now...
She raised her slender fingers and gently traced the curve of the man's lips. The man smiled and bit her fingertips, then gently held them in his mouth...
Yuan Tingchuan hung the photo in his hand on a clip and waited for it to dry. Then, he put it into the film box of the enlarger and exposed the photo paper with light. Finally, the photo paper went through development, bleaching, and drying before it could become a photo. The last process required waiting.
Yuan Tingchuan and Du Ruo walked out of the darkroom hugging each other.
When the sunlight outside shone on him, Du Ruo stretched out his hand to block it, and all the emotions in the darkness gradually disappeared.
Yuan Tingchuan had guessed this would happen. He shrugged and walked nonchalantly to the sofa. He reached out and picked up the teacup. The hot tea in the cup was still warm. He took a sip and said, "We have to wait at least half a day. After the photos are dry, the effect will be seen."
Du Ruo: "When did you learn this?"
Yuan Tingchuan smiled and said, "When I was young, I didn't have any other hobbies. I just liked taking pictures of scenery to relieve the pressure from school and work."
Du Ruo asked with interest, "Only taking pictures of the scenery?"
Yuan Tingchuan: "I only shoot landscapes. What I encounter on a daily basis are the complex human hearts. I want to see something pure in my photos."
Du Ruo: "Do you develop the film yourself?"
Yuan Tingchuan said, "Yes, when developing film in the darkroom, it's a relatively enclosed space, quiet and peaceful. Not only can I enjoy the tranquility, but I can also think about some problems. In the darkness, my thoughts are always infinitely magnified. I used to enjoy this feeling very much."
Du Ruo raised an eyebrow: "Ever?"
Yuan Tingchuan sighed somewhat melancholy, "Yeah, in the past, I couldn't even remember how long it had been since I had gone into the darkroom to tinker with these things. I really didn't have the time, nor was I in the mood.
I can no longer stand there calmly, waiting for the image to appear, and I no longer have the anticipation I once had."
He smiled and looked at Du Ruo: "Where is your carving knife? When you hold it, are you still as calm as you were back then?"
Du Ruo raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "Of course, my carving knife and jade can soothe all my emotions, as always." This is her soul mate.
Yuan Tingchuan tapped the edge of the teacup with his fingers. He liked the woman's tenacity, and he also liked her elegant and graceful aura, which was so charming.
The two sat opposite each other and chatted like old friends. Yuan Tingchuan was knowledgeable and had a wide range of interests. He was involved in many things and Du Ruo listened with great interest.
Du Ruo has experienced the era of information explosion. She used to be so poor that she only had money left. She also had many interesting experiences. Time flies when she talks about them.
It was not until he held the photo in his hand that Du Ruo was surprised to find that it was already afternoon. Earlier in the darkroom, he seemed to hear Yu Min calling them to eat.
At that time, they were whispering to each other in the passionate and chaotic state, and Du Ruo didn't hear clearly what was said.
Well, I didn’t even have lunch.
Yuan Tingchuan said, "Pick up the sons and let's go out to eat."
He casually threw the photo onto the table and was about to pick up the coat beside the sofa when suddenly, Yuan Tingchuan's gaze paused.
He frowned, picked up a photo with a serious expression, and held it up to examine it carefully.
Du Ruo knew something was wrong. She quickly walked over to Yuan Tingchuan and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Yuan Tingchuan frowned, squinted his eyes, picked up the mobile phone on the table and dialed.
He said succinctly, "Go to the kindergarten and see if the two children are still there."
Du Ruo's heart skipped a beat. She anxiously grabbed Yuan Tingchuan's sleeve and asked quickly, "What's going on? What happened?"
Yuan Tingchuan comforted her by holding her in his arms, kissing her hair gently, and said softly: "It may not be a problem, don't worry."
Du Ruoke didn't buy it. She knew something must have happened.
Du Ruo pushed him away, walked out quickly, and shouted: "Big guy, big guy?"
The big man hurried out of the compartment: "What's wrong? Mr. Du."
Du Ruo walked out with him, holding the car keys, and said as she walked, "We have to go to the kindergarten quickly, hurry up."
The big guy was startled and hurriedly followed Du Ruo out.
Yuan Tingchuan was on the phone. He reluctantly followed and said to Du Ruo, "Let's go together. This matter is a bit complicated. Let's go."
When several people rushed to the kindergarten, the police were taking statements. Yuan Tingchuan had already called the police, and the police took the matter very seriously.
The Yuan Group now has many investments in the mainland. The disappearance of Yuan Tingchuan’s son is no small matter, and the police have invested a lot of manpower to investigate one by one.
Principal Wang said anxiously, "Han Zhe's grandparents came to pick him up. They said his mother had been in a car accident, and Yuan Shurui must go with them.
We have confirmed that they are indeed Han Zhe's grandparents, and we don't know if there is anything else?"
This incident has a huge impact on the kindergarten. If not handled properly, it may cause a large-scale loss of students. Principal Wang was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He looked at Du Ruo eagerly.
Du Ruo asked, "Are these two old men and women the ones who came?"
Director Wang recalled and said, "There was also a young man in his twenties."
Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan looked at each other. They must be Han's father, mother and Han Luo.
At this time, the police hurried over and said to Yuan Tingchuan and Du Ruo, "Our comrades have found the Han family. According to them, they did take the two children out of here, but when they reached the entrance of the alley, they were kidnapped by several men in black suits."
Du Ruo's body softened and she almost fell to the ground. Her tears flowed crazily...
Yuan Tingchuan reached out and hugged Du Ruo in his arms, took out a photo, and said to the police, "I took this photo by accident. The man in the black suit in the photo should be related to the child's disappearance. Please investigate."
Now that we have a clue, that's great. The police hurried out. Du Ruo stopped the comrade. She calmed down and said, "It can't be such a coincidence. Please ask a few comrades to interrogate Han Luo again."
