Chapter 280: Go to Sleep]

"A month ago, when I was on a secret mission, I was ambushed by enemy spies. In order to save my life, I had to flee into the mountains. I happened to meet your wife, Comrade Ye, and she saved me."

Lu Aiguo said, "My backup has been killed. In order to avoid the enemy spies and continue the mission, I can only ask your wife to keep it a secret for me and occasionally go into the mountains to bring me some supplies... When you saw us in the mountains that day, my mission had reached the final stage, and I was in a hurry to set off to finish it."

"Before I left, I wanted to give the money I had on me to your wife to repay her for her help during this period, but she refused to accept it. Then you appeared..."

Lu Aiguo left at that time, not because he felt guilty, but because he had a mission to accomplish and had no time to get involved in matters between men and women.

In addition, Ye Xianghong was very calm while helping him, and it was obvious that she was organized in her words and deeds. When

Lu Aiguo heard Ye Xianghong ask him to leave, he thought that Ye Xianghong could explain it clearly and clear up the misunderstanding.

But he didn't expect that when he finished his mission and came back to formally thank her, he saw Ye Xianghong with bruises on her face from a distance.

Lu Aiguo knew something was wrong, and immediately asked someone to find out, and rushed to the county town to find Ye Yong.

He took out a thick envelope from his arms and handed it to Ye Yong, "This is the bonus from the organization to Comrade Ye Xianghong. Because it is a secret mission, we cannot issue a certificate of award or a letter of thanks. Please continue to keep the previous matter confidential." Ye Yong

looked at the envelope handed over by Lu Aiguo, and his brain, which was originally confused by alcohol, was clearer than ever before.

"Comrade Ye Yong, now that the misunderstanding between us has been resolved, please stop domestically abusing Comrade Ye Xianghong."

Lu Aiguo had a hard time saying the last few words, as if he was holding back something.

Ye Yong stared at him, then suddenly grinned, "Do you think it was my fault that I hit her?"

Lu Aiguo frowned, "As a man, my body is naturally stronger than a woman's. Hitting a woman is bullying, not to mention that this is all a misunderstanding..."

"You like Xianghong, right?"

Ye Yong interrupted Lu Aiguo.

Hearing this, Lu Aiguo's expression froze slightly, and the hand holding the envelope unconsciously exerted force.

"I..."

He opened his mouth, then said seriously: "Comrade Ye Xianghong and I have not done anything beyond the line."

"If it weren't for you, who disturbed my and Xianghong's lives, I wouldn't have hit her!"

Ye Yong suddenly raised his foot and kicked Lu Aiguo to the ground, saying viciously: "I'm not the one who's wrong, it's you! You hurt her!"

"You said a lot of righteous words, but it's just to cover up your little thoughts, hypocritical!"

Ye Yong grabbed the banknotes that fell from the envelope and smashed them on Lu Aiguo's face, saying coldly: "Take these things and get out! Never show up in front of our family again! Dirty villain!"

He spat and strode away.

The cold wind at night did not calm Ye Yong's feverish brain, but his thoughts became more and more confused.

Why did he say it now?

Why did he say it when everything was irreversible?

Why... why? !

When he punched Ye Xianghong for the first time, it was too late!

His "happy" little home could not go back!

What secret mission, what help...

If the truth is really what Lu Aiguo said, then what has Ye Yong become?

A scumbag husband who is conceited and incompetent and holds his wife back?

No... he is not!

He has done so much for Ye Xianghong, gave up his easy life, and chose a difficult path, just to make Ye Xianghong happy. He has done his best! The

one who is wrong...

is Lu Aiguo!

And Ye Xianghong, why didn't she make it clear on the spot?

Was she scared by herself and couldn't speak because of illness?

Excuses... all excuses!

She was obviously speechless because she had something wrong in her heart!

This adulterous couple had something on their mind and wanted to deceive him!

They were the ones who were wrong, not me!

"I'm not wrong!"

Ye Yong strode home, kicked the door open, grabbed Ye Xianghong from the bed, and punched her hard.

It's you!

You ruined my life! You

betrayed me again!

You are the wrong person!

Ye Xianghong!

The beautiful flower field in my heart withered and decayed at some point.

The originally plain and happy life also took a sharp turn for the worse and could never be saved.

Ye Yong was getting more and more tired of such days.

On the one hand, he played the role of a good person and was praised by everyone, but on the other hand, he was crazy in his heart and wanted to escape from such a life.

During the flood relief work, Ye Yong was washed away by the flood, grabbed a piece of driftwood, and survived with difficulty.

When he came ashore again, he was already in a strange place and had saved Hong Xin who was in danger.

Looking at Hong Xin's bright and beautiful clothes and her affectionate eyes when she looked at him, Ye Yong knew that this was a chance given to him by God, a chance to restart his life a second time!

From this day on, he was no longer Ye Yong, but Qin Yong!

However, why...

after giving him hope, he was left in such a desperate situation?

"It's so cold..."

Ye Yong felt that the heat of his body had dissipated from the hole in his chest, "It hurts so much..."

His eyes were a little scattered.

At this time, there was a noisy sound beside his ears.

Someone walked up to him.

Ye Yong narrowed his eyes and saw a familiar face.

Those pure eyes, just like more than 20 years ago, easily penetrated into his heart.

But he is no longer like his teenage self, moved by the woman in front of him.

The trivialities of life and the unpredictable tricks of fate have turned the initial enthusiasm into boredom and impatience.

Ye Yong saw Ye Xianghong squatting beside him, gently holding his upper body and holding him in her arms.

Warmth enveloped his cold body.

"A Yong."

Ye Yong heard Ye Xianghong's voice as usual, dull and indifferent, but with a bit of tenderness, "Go to sleep."

She whispered, "When you fall asleep, it won't hurt."

Ye Yong slightly widened his eyes, his brain became more and more dizzy and dazed.

He opened his mouth and let out an ambiguous laugh: "Ye Xianghong... the thing I regret most in my life..."

"It's saving you."

After saying that, he closed his eyes, and a little water overflowed from the corners of his eyes. As his

consciousness sank, Ye Yong had a dream.

The dream was about a night many years ago.

At that time, his leg had been broken for more than half a year. Old Man Ye and his people treated him and Ye Xianghong more and more harshly. In addition, the harvest in the fields was poor, so they only gave them two coarse flour buns every day.

Ye Xianghong had to take care of all the affairs at home, and she was tired and hungry every day.

Ye Yong gave one and a half of the two coarse flour buns to Ye Xianghong. If he was hungry, he would break off a small piece from the remaining half of the bun and put it in his mouth to relieve his unbearable hunger.

That night, Ye Xianghong, who had not eaten enough for many days, curled up in his arms, sobbing and saying that she was very hungry and had a stomachache.

Ye Yong took out a small cloth bag from under the pillow, which contained the last bite of his remaining bun.

Recently, he has been like Ye Xianghong, always hungry and having stomachaches, and sometimes he would wake up in the middle of sleep due to pain.

This steamed bun was saved for that time.

Ye Yong stuffed the steamed bun into Ye Xianghong's mouth, then patted Ye Xianghong's back and whispered, "Xianghong, go to sleep."

"If you fall asleep, you won't be hungry."

Ye Yong was immersed in this dream, listening to the even breathing of the girl in his arms, and his consciousness completely sank into darkness...
