Every day goes on in an orderly manner. Although it is boring, it is also fulfilling.
His family had also sent him a bicycle, and when Shen Qingli had nothing to do, he would ride it to the town's big market and back.
It is convenient to provide a clear path for the meat and vegetables taken out of the space.
On the way home that day, the bicycle chain suddenly fell off. Shen Qingli squatted on the ground and studied it for a long time but couldn't figure out how to fix it.
I was just about to wait until there was no one around, put the car into the space and walk home.
A pleasant voice came from the side: "Comrade, do you need help?"
Shen Qingli looked up and saw a young man in military uniform standing next to her. Influenced by Meng Xiao, she now felt very close to people in military uniform. Moreover, this person was good-looking!
He stood against the light, with the setting sun's rays falling on his hair. His nose was high and angular, and he had a straight posture.
He just stood there, and it was impossible to take your eyes off him.
The temperament is cool and noble.
"Hello comrade, can you fix the chain on my bicycle? My chain fell off and I don't know how to fix it."
As early as when Shen Qingli looked up, the man's eyes flashed with surprise and then turned into surprise: "Qingqing?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingli searched his memory for the young man in front of him. After a moment, he finally found a similar face in the original owner's memory and matched it with the person in front of him:
"Who are you? Brother Mingchuan?"
"It's me! Qingqing, you still remember me!"
His originally cold eyes now shine as brightly as stars!
At dusk, the young man's tall figure was enveloped in the glow of the setting sun, his eyes less cold and more gentle with a smile.
"Of course I remember, long time no see, Brother Mingchuan."
How could the original owner not remember this? When Grandpa Ye was sent down to the countryside, Uncle Ye and his family moved away. The young original owner was sad for a long time.
After that, Ye Mingchuan disappeared without a trace. The original owner kept this neighbor brother deep in her heart and never mentioned him again. Gradually, she accepted the engagement with Zheng Chuan...
"It's been a long time, five years. The little girl has grown into a big girl. Let me help you put on the chain."
Ye Mingchuan put down his luggage and squatted on the ground to fix the bicycle chain in a few seconds.
"Thank you, Brother Mingchuan." Shen Qingli felt a little embarrassed. He had been trying to fix it for a long time but the other person fixed it in just a few seconds.
Reach out and hand him a handkerchief
"Brother Mingchuan, wipe your hands."
"Why are you here?" Ye Mingchuan asked.
"I'm with the army and living in the family compound nearby. How about you, Mingchuan? Are you serving in the army here?"
Shen Qingli had a very good impression of Ye Mingchuan and unconsciously said a few more words.
Ye Mingchuan felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his head. He was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to react: "You... are married?"
"Yeah, I just got married last month."
His eyes dimmed a little, and a flicker of emotion flashed across his face. A smile appeared on his handsome face:
"Congratulations, Qingqing."
"Thank you~"
Ye Mingchuan's heart was filled with helplessness and sadness at this moment, as if a hand was tightly strangling his heart, causing him some pain.
He had worked hard over the years, traveling all over the country with his father, and finally helped his grandfather to be rehabilitated a few years ago. He then joined the army and started as a soldier, working his way up for several years just to be able to apply for a transfer to the Beijing Military Region and come back to stand in front of her.
He had always thought that his girl was still young and he wasn't in a hurry. He had always thought that he and her still had a lot of time, and that there was still a lot of time to go. He was also confident that the girl he loved wouldn't like that so-called childhood sweetheart. But...
Now that he has finally returned to the capital, is he still a step too late?
A car stopped beside them. Meng Xiao stepped out of the car with his long legs, took the bicycle, stretched out his long arms and put it on the car while asking Shen Qingli:
"Why are you here? Who is this?"
"My former neighbor, Ye Mingchuan. Brother Mingchuan, this is my husband, Meng Xiao."
Meng Xiao raised an eyebrow at this. The division commander had just mentioned this name at the morning meeting. Ye Mingchuan, the top soldier in the Southern War Zone, a man whose strength was on par with his own, was said to have requested a transfer to their side after having made meritorious service. Everyone was still speculating as to who was more capable, Ye Mingchuan or him!
Besides! Putting aside everything else, what kind of look does this man give his wife?
What did his wife call him?
Brother Mingchuan?
Without any expression on his face, he extended his hand:
"Hello, I'm Meng Xiao. Welcome to Captain Ye!"
"Hello, Ye Mingchuan"
The two men held hands, and there was an invisible smoke of gunpowder in the air.
"Brother Mingchuan, let's get in the car together." Shen Qingli seemed to be unaware of the "seriousness" of the matter.
When Meng Xiao called her to get in the car, she called Ye Mingchuan to join her.
"No need, Qingqing, you guys go back first. I have something else to do."
Ye Mingchuan made excuses to decline. He didn't want to see his girl standing or sitting with others.
So he chose to escape!
"Okay then, we'll be leaving first. Goodbye, Brother Mingchuan!"
Meng Xiao put his arm around her waist and walked towards the car.
She turned around and glanced at Ye Mingchuan, then nodded at him.
Ye Mingchuan stood there watching the scene, clenching the handkerchief in his hand.
He turned his back to them, not wanting Meng Xiao to catch any of his emotions.
He suddenly lifted his sleeve and looked at the ragged rubber band on his wrist. For a moment, his throat choked.
Ye Mingchuan, who had never shown weakness in front of others, had tears in his eyes at this moment and felt like crying.
How ironic, he watched another man take away his little girl, but he could do nothing, nothing at all.
His little girl, he came back late after all...
It was not until he heard the sound of the car starting and driving away that he slowly bent down, picked up his luggage, and stood up slowly.
The road was empty and deserted at this moment, and his back looked particularly desolate.
