Chapter 76: Finding the Path to Reconciliation [VIP]
She ran all the way, looking for a way to reconcile with her parents.
——Orange Confessions
Before Zhen Hao could figure out how to deal with the relationship between herself and Shi Xu, the other two people in the small group of three made another decision for her.
Zhou Chunrui: "Good, good, good, call good!"
Yan Yunshu: "I'll call out too."
It is a rare sight to see three people gathered together.
The main reason is that Dr. Yan is too busy and we rarely see her.
Zhen Hao: "Here I come."
Zhou Chunrui: "My birthday is on the first of next month, and I decided to go to the north to see the sea!"
Zhou Chunrui: "The three of us together?"
Zhen Hao: "The three of us... do you have time?"
Going to the north to see the sea would take at least three days and two nights...
Yan Yunshu: "I specially adjusted my annual leave and switched shifts with a colleague to get five days off."
Zhen Hao: "Okay, let's go!"
Even Dr. Yan has worked so hard, so what reason does she, a freelancer, have to shirk her responsibility?
Zhou Chunrui: "Great! The plan we made in middle school to go see the ocean together is finally coming true!"
Yan Yunshu: "What's the point of going to Nanxi Town before the New Year?"
Zhou Chunrui: "Never mind Xiaohai, this time I want to see the sea!"
Because of this unplanned trip, Zhen Hao had to compress ten days' work into five days before departure.
The work that came one after another left her with even less time to think about her relationship, and the feeling of being too busy came back to her.
Among the three of them, Zhou Chunrui had the most free time, so she said that she would be responsible for choosing and booking the entire itinerary, including tickets, hotels and accommodation. The other two naturally had no objection.
Five days later, when Zhen Hao looked at the destination on his boarding pass, he was a little dumbfounded: "Aren't we going to Yancheng?"
Zhou Chunrui smiled slyly: "Let's go to Tianjin first!"
Going to Tianjin?
Speaking of Tianjin, Zhen Hao's heart couldn't help but tremble.
That was the city she most wanted to visit as a child. However, when she grew up and became relatively free, she didn't have the courage to set foot there.
"Okay, you don't want to go?" Zhou Chunrui and Yan Yunshu looked at each other and suddenly felt nervous.
Are she and Yan Yunshu being too presumptuous?
Tianjin has always been Zhen Hao's obsession, but that's not a reason for them to force her to go there.
"It's okay if you don't want to go, we can change..."
Zhou Chunrui was interrupted by Zhen Hao: "Go, why not?"
Even though her tone was firm, Zhou Chunrui was still a little worried: "Okay, don't force yourself. If you don't want to go, then don't go. It's okay..."
Zhen Hao smiled at her and said, "I've wanted to go to Tianjin since I was a child. Have you forgotten? Let's go. If we don't pass the security check now, we won't be able to get on the plane."
As the plane flew through the clouds, Zhen Hao's heart inevitably returned to the town of Min where he lived as a child.
She knew about the place called Jincheng when she still had no clear concept of the word "parents".
That was the city where my parents lived, and also the city where my younger sister and brother later lived.
But she had never even glimpsed a corner of it.
She heard that it was a city where it snowed, and when she was little she thought it must be beautiful when snowing, but later she hated snow the most;
I heard that the fruit and fried dough twist in that city were delicious. When she was little, she only ate fried dough twist that could be kept for a long time, and it was really delicious. Later, she hated fried dough twist the most.
I heard that the people there always started talking in crosstalk, which always made people laugh. Later, she hated crosstalk the most...
It seems that she is always picking up and throwing away things on her way to growing up, but she never knows what she really wants in her heart.
She didn't dare to face the painful city of Tianjin, where she felt abandoned by her loved ones in her childhood. She also didn't dare to accept that she had lacked family affection since childhood and had some character flaws... Her "fear" was never truly overcome.
This trip to Tianjin made her both excited and nervous.
After two hours and forty-five minutes of flight, the three of them landed safely in Tianjin.
After actually setting foot on this land, Zhen Hao did not feel the resistance he had imagined, but instead felt much more relaxed.
As they were getting their luggage, she suddenly said to them, "We can finally eat some hot Tianjin fruit."
"I used to hear you talk about it so often that I've been looking forward to it for more than ten years!" When it comes to food, Zhou Chunrui is more excited than anyone else.
"Yunyun, let's go try it together?" Zhou Chunrui said, then turned to Yan Yunshu.
"Yeah, okay." Yan Yunshu nodded in agreement.
When Zhen Hao took a bite of the fruit he had dreamed of as a child, he felt tears welling up in his eyes and his heart was warm.
That belated sense of redemption that transcends time and space floated lightly in the air filled with the fragrance of fruits and flew to somewhere unknown.
"It doesn't seem to taste anything special." Zhou Chunrui sighed after taking a bite.
"Yes, food is special because of the memories." After Zhen Hao's mood became relaxed,
Maybe others can't see her changes, but her persistence is quietly collapsing and disintegrating.
After breakfast, the three of them went to see the Jincheng Eye and then took a walk in Xiqing Hutong, where Zhen Dongcheng lived in the past.
Zhen Hao walked along that alley.
In fact, she didn't know which house Zhen Dongcheng's family lived in that year, but she stubbornly walked all over Xiqing Hutong.
This city didn't seem as beautiful as Zhen Hao had imagined.
Spanning more than twenty years of time, the dry and cool wind of Tianjin City brings ancient memories in our faces and gently scatters them in the air.
Then it slowly drifts away, farther and farther away. You can't catch it, and there's no need to catch it.
"Rui Rui, Yun Yun, let's set off for Yancheng tonight." After walking out of the alley that trapped Zhen Hao's entire childhood, she heard her own relieved voice.
"Why don't you stay one more day? You finally made it here..." Zhou Chunrui was shocked by Zhen Hao's decision.
"No, I've already eaten, seen, and traveled." Zhen Hao looked up at the sky above him, gently closed his eyes, and took a breath of the air that was a little drier than other places in Jincheng. He said again, "Let's go to Yancheng!"
Let’s go see the sea and see our broader heart!
When we arrived at Yancheng, the sky was bright and clear, unlike that of Tianjin.
Zhen Hao could only think of one word to describe the city of Yancheng - clean.
Yes, clear and clean.
On the way to the hotel in a taxi, Zhou Chunrui received a call.
At first, her face was filled with joy, but then she glanced at Zhen Hao cautiously and began to stammer, "Let's talk on WeChat. First... let's leave it at that for now."
Although no one asked her who was calling, she explained guiltily: "It was from a partner... hehe..."
If you have to say it, isn't Fu Anhuai her best partner?
The kind of partners who work seamlessly together in bed.
Realizing that his thoughts were tainted with color, Zhou Chunrui's cheeks flushed. He quietly lowered his head, letting his hair fall to cover his hot face.
After sitting on the high-speed train for several hours, Zhen Hao and Yan Yunshu leaned back in their chairs to rest, and did not notice anything unusual about Zhou Chunrui.
She was looking down, her fingers typing away rapidly. She didn't know what the other party had sent, but her originally calm expression suddenly became animated.
As soon as she dropped off her luggage at the hotel, she couldn't wait to invite them: "Okay, Yunyun! Let's go experience the city that never sleeps, Yancheng!"
"The city that never sleeps?" Yan Yunshu had been traveling a long way, but his face showed no sign of fatigue. Especially his eyes, which were surprisingly bright and beautiful. "Is it a bar street?"
"Yeah, yeah, let's go!" Zhou Chunrui nodded excitedly when the bar street was mentioned. "It's been a long time since we went to a bar together."
The "orange" place they always went to before was Qing Bar, which was more literary and gentle in comparison.
At this time, five men in orange were sitting together chatting about something, each with a different expression.
In addition to Shi Xu, Song Jing and Shi Hang and the three orange shareholders, the other two are Fu Anhuai and He Zhixun.
"Mr. Pei, what do you think?" Fu Anhuai shook the wine in his glass and raised his eyelids slightly to look at the man sitting opposite him.
"I didn't expect that you university professors have so much free time." Shi Xu sat leisurely on the sofa in the booth, without touching the wine prepared by Song Jingxin.
"And Lawyer He—" He turned his gaze and landed on He Zhixun, "I heard that Mr. Jia from the east city has a difficult lawsuit. How come you still have so much time for this?"
He Zhixun smiled lightly, his eyes full of confidence that he had won the battle: "This little case won't give me a headache."
"I won't participate." Shixu finally rejected their proposal.
"Mr. Pei..." He Zhixun, who was sitting next to Shixu, suddenly moved closer to him, whispered something in his ear, and then distanced himself as if nothing had happened.
Hearing his words, Shi Xu was slightly stunned.
Why didn't you tell him earlier? It would be so embarrassing for him to regret it now...
However, the next second, Shi Xu said seriously, "I've thought about it carefully again, and it's not impossible for me to participate..."
He rarely felt guilty, so he quickly shifted the focus to someone else: "Are Ah Yu and Ah Jing together?"
Shi Hang and Song Jing, who had been silent all the time, looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
Shi Hangyu chuckled and said, "I won't join in the fun. My senior sister at home is waiting."
Everyone present knew who the "senior sister" he was talking about was, and they all gave him ambiguous glances.
Song Jing also rejected Shi Xu's invitation: "I'd rather stay with Orange and live a good life with my wine."
In the middle of the meeting, Shi Hangyu went out to answer a phone call.
"Senior, why are you calling me? Is it..."
Shi Hang was interrupted by Song Jinhe hastily when she asked, "Did you miss me?" "I forgot to tell you, my sister and I have an appointment to fly to Rome today. See you in half a month. Love you."
Shi Hangyu: “…”
"Let's not talk about it for now. We have to go through security soon. I love you, junior." After saying this, Song Jinhe blew him a kiss in the air.
"Have a safe journey, senior sister." Shi Hangyu smiled helplessly.
Song Jinhe is still the same as he loved at first, bold and bright, always on the road, and always loving herself more.
Ever since he first saw Song Jinhe, who had just finished the college entrance examination, at the age of fifteen, there were no other students in his eyes.
Falling in love with Song Jinhe is as easy as breathing, and just like breathing, it is impossible to quit.
On the other side, in a hotel suite in Yancheng.
Zhou Chunrui waited for the answer she expected.
Zhen Hao didn't hide his tiredness: "I feel a little tired today. How about we get a good night's sleep and stay out all night tomorrow?"
"Okay!" Zhou Chunrui agreed very quickly.
She knew Zhen Hao very well and knew whether this trip to the bar would take place, and this was exactly the result she wanted.
