Chapter 98
Lu Chen hurried home, carrying the snacks he had bought from a newly opened snack shop in the county town.
For some reason, he felt a little uneasy the whole day, especially just now. The inexplicable uneasiness made him anxious.
So he didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurried home without even looking at all the houses.
In fact, he went out today not to do business like before, but to look at a house, planning to change his residence for him and Meng Yinyin.
He guessed that Meng Yinyin's family conditions must have been good before, and it was just a coincidence that she came to the countryside.
In the process of getting along with each other, he inevitably fell in love with her.
Although she is sometimes willful and has a bad temper, most of the time she is a cute and lovely girl.
He knew that he was not qualified enough to be with her, so he made plans early on and worked hard to make money and do business. Finally, after working so hard for so long, he had enough ability to let Meng Yinyin live a better life.
He looked at this house for a long time before deciding to buy it.
It is a house with a small courtyard, about the same size as the house they live in now, but it is in the city and the conditions in all aspects are better.
Although the price was a bit high, Lu Chen did not hesitate too much and decided to buy it.
When all the procedures are completed, he can move there with Meng Yinyin.
After all, he knew that she was not happy living in the brigade. Even though the rumors outside had happened more than half a year ago, she still did not dare to leave the house and meet other people.
But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if she doesn't like to go out, as long as she is happy.
Lu Chen just returned home, but found that there were many people standing at the door.
His heart sank suddenly, and the ominous premonition became particularly strong at this moment.
Outside the crowd, some people also saw Lu Chen. At that moment, everyone's expressions were extremely complicated.
Some are nervous, some feel guilty, and some even feel resentful.
It’s a pity that Lu Chen had no intention of caring about anyone else at the moment. His eyes fell straight on the wide-open door, his face as gloomy as water.
He knew very well that once he went out, the door would never be opened unless he took the initiative to open it.
Because Meng Yinyin never goes out.
But at this moment...
The door opened and there were many familiar faces inside, all of them were from the brigade, including the brigade commander.
But the person Lu Chen was looking for was not among them. He even walked through the crowd and searched several rooms, but he did not see the person who would come to greet him joyfully when he returned home as usual.
Lu Chen clenched his palms so tightly that the string of the snack packaging was almost embedded in his palms, but he didn't notice it at all.
He turned around, trying to suppress his inner panic, looked at the captain beside him, and asked in a deep voice.
"Where is she?"
The captain's face was solemn, especially when looking at Lu Chen's dark eyes, he didn't even dare to look him in the eye.
Seeing that the captain didn't say anything, Lu Chen spoke again, word by word.
"Where is she!"
The captain was frightened by his ugly face and immediately said, "It's...Meng Zhiqing, she just ran away."
"Where did you go?"
This time, the captain's voice was even lower, and there was a hint of reluctance in it.
"We went to the river..."
When someone shouted that Meng Yinyin had been hiding in Lu Chen's house, many people came to Lu Chen's house, and then they really saw Meng Yinyin, who everyone thought had fallen into the river and died, or disappeared.
Everyone's reaction was the same as the man who climbed over the wall into Lu Chen's house. They were shocked at first, then angry, and felt that Lu Chen and Meng Yinyin had teamed up to deceive everyone.
Afterwards, everyone started to blame and express dissatisfaction, with some people even blaming Meng Yinyin for their jealousy and hatred towards Lu Chen's growing wealth, and clamoring to kick the two liars, Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen, out of the team.
Seeing that Lu Chen was not at home, and only Meng Yinyin, a powerless girl, was there, some people with more extreme tempers simply pushed her directly and turned Lu Chen's house upside down. Most of the things in the main room were pushed over by them, and Meng Yinyin was powerless to stop them.
Seeing that this group of people looked like the ones who came to her house to ransack it under various pretexts, Meng Yinyin's thoughts were confused for a moment, and for a moment she could hardly tell where she was.
She stood in the yard in a daze, watching the group of people venting emotions that came from nowhere. Then, when she saw the man who first climbed over the wall walking towards her with a fierce look on his face, she suddenly burst into a scream, then turned around and ran outside.
She didn't know this man, but the hatred in his eyes made the timid Meng Yinyin instinctively want to escape.
But she didn't know where she could go. She kept calling Lu Chen's name in her heart, but he was nowhere to be seen.
At that moment, Meng Yinyin felt unprecedented despair.
She kept running, and it was clear that only that man was chasing her, but she felt that there were countless footsteps behind her, and overwhelming discussions and curses following her.
She ran to the river without knowing when, looking at the rushing and bottomless river in front of her, and then looking at the man who was chasing her relentlessly behind her.
Finally, she jumped into the river.
The captain and the others rushed over immediately after Meng Yinyin jumped into the river, but unfortunately they were still a step too late.
As for the man who had been chasing Meng Yinyin, he was also frightened when he saw Meng Yinyin jumping into the river.
He didn't really want Meng Yinyin's life, he just wanted to scare her and make her and Lu Chen suffer a little, he really didn't want to take anyone's life!
After listening to what the captain said, Lu Chen's pupils constricted. For a moment, he felt that he lost all sound in his ears and his mind went blank.
But soon, a belief kept repeating itself in my mind.
She couldn't just disappear like that, impossible!
They had agreed in the morning that she would wait for him to come home and bring her some snacks, and she would not break her promise!
When the captain saw him like this, he felt sorry for him, but they had just sent people to search for him, but they found nothing.
"In the river. We sent people to look for it, but we couldn't find it."
The river was flowing fast and Meng Yinyin was so frail that they couldn't imagine the consequences if she fell into the water.
Although I feel very regretful and guilty, this is the fact.
The captain was about to continue urging Lu Shen to mourn, but he saw the thing he was holding in his hand suddenly fall to the ground, and then he quickly turned around and ran out.
"Hey, Lu Chen!"
The captain's voice behind him gradually faded away, the wind was blowing rapidly in his ears, but Lu Chen could not care about anything. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was to find Meng Yinyin!
Finally, Lu Chen went down the river all the way, searching from dawn to dusk. Seeing him like this, the captain and others finally helped in the search. However, when they had searched almost all the way downstream of the river and still hadn't seen anyone, they had already concluded that Meng Yinyin had met with an accident and was no longer alive.
But Lu Chen still didn't give up. He seemed to be possessed by a demon. He ignored other people's attempts to stop him and wouldn't listen to anything. He just continued to search for Meng Yinyin in silence.
What shocked everyone was that he actually found Meng Yinyin in the end.
She was stopped by a fallen dead tree in the river and was not swept downstream.
The moment Lu Chen saw her, he jumped into the water without hesitation and rescued Meng Yinyin.
It’s a pity that her face was pale at the moment and she fell into a coma.
If it weren't for the faint breath he was still breathing, the captain and the others would have thought that Lu Chen was about to collapse.
"He's still breathing, send him to the hospital immediately!"
Afterwards, the group immediately sent Meng Yinyin to the hospital, and with the help of the doctor, Meng Yinyin finally saved her life.
But the person was rescued, but she has not woken up. The doctor explained that her head accidentally hit a rock when she fell into the water. They are not sure when she will wake up, but her life is not in danger.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen didn't say anything else. However, while Meng Yinyin was in the hospital, he returned to the brigade and severely beat up the man who chased Meng Yinyin that day. If it weren't for the brigade leader and the others stopping him, the man would have been half dead.
It just so happened that this incident was caused by that man. He didn't even dare to report it to the police. After being beaten, he could only slip away in shame. From now on, he could only hide when he saw Lu Chen.
But after Lu Chen let out this breath, he quickly packed up his things and moved out.
On the day he left, looking at the house in front of him, what flashed through his mind was Meng Yinyin's every frown and smile.
But all the beauty that once existed turned into bubbles after the destruction that day, and this place might even become her nightmare for the rest of her life.
Even though this was the place where he had lived for more than ten years, Lu Chen still chose to leave.
From now on, wherever Meng Yinyin is, that is his home.
He left quietly, and no one knew about it until they saw no movement from Lu Chen's family for several days.
Afterwards, the captain reflected on the incident and realized that he did not discipline those people strictly at the time, which led to Meng Yinyin's accident and Lu Chen's departure.
After that, he was no longer merciful and directly convened a meeting to severely criticize some people.
When the others knew that Lu Chen was gone, they also started to panic.
When Lu Chen was there, although he did not lead the team members to do business, he paid for the team to repair the road at the entrance of the village and helped the team leader a lot. In fact, he helped the team a lot in disguise. If it weren't for him, the team might not have changed.
It's a pity that they only realized this at this time. They regret it now, but it's too late.
After Meng Yinyin's body was almost recovered, Lu Chen took her back to the house he bought in the city.
The first thing he did every morning when he woke up was to sit by her bed, hold her hand, and patiently tell her what happened yesterday.
He didn't expect her to open her eyes and reply. As long as she was still by his side and in front of him, he would be satisfied.
After finishing talking to Meng Yinyin, he went out to work, leaving the house to be taken care of by an aunt he specially selected.
My aunt said that she had never met a man who valued love more than him. Even when his wife was in a coma, he still refused to leave her.
But Lu Chen told her that Meng Yinyin was not his wife.
The aunt was stunned and asked in confusion: "Ah? Then she is your......"
Lu Chen looked down at the sleeping Meng Yinyin, his eyes soft, and whispered: "I haven't proposed to her yet."
"When she wakes up, we will get married."
From that moment on, she was his, Lu Chen's, wife in the true sense.
Auntie was even more moved when she heard this.
The two young men are a perfect match, but the girl had an accident. If she knew that her fiancé had been taking care of her, waiting for her, and planning to give her a perfect wedding when she woke up, she would probably be very happy.
From that day on, she, like Lu Chen, began to pray that the Sleeping Beauty in the room would wake up soon.
As spring went and autumn came, Lu Chen had lost count of how many times the flowers in the yard had bloomed. Finally, one day, he opened the door and planned to talk to Meng Yinyin and see her as usual. When he walked in, he saw a pair of bright and clear eyes.
Lu Shen paused, as if he was nailed to the spot, and he didn't even have the courage to move forward.
At that moment, he was so worried that this was just a dream. If he moved, the dream would be shattered and the scene before his eyes would disappear.
"Lu Chen, what's wrong with you? Are you stupid?"
When Lu Chen heard Meng Yinyin saying this with a smile on her face while lying on the bed, he seemed to hear the sound of flowers blooming, and the whole world became bright again.
She finally woke up.
"ah!"
Late at night, in a small courtyard outside Jiangcheng University, Meng Yinyin suddenly woke up.
She just had another dream.
It has been four years since she had those strange dreams in the educated youth center. In these four years, she has never had those strange dreams again.
But that night, for some reason, she had a similar dream again.
But in this dream, she finally saw who lived in the villa that Lu Chen had carefully built in the book.
That person was not Lin Xiuzhi, the girl that she thought Lu Chen liked, but actually... her.
"Yin Yin? Are you okay?"
There was a worried knock on the bedroom door.
Meng Yinyin came back to her senses and shook her head subconsciously, but after shaking twice she realized that Lu Chen couldn't see her at all outside the door, so she quickly explained: "I'm fine, I just had a dream..."
A dream about her and Lu Chen's original fate.
Lu Chen in the corridor felt relieved after hearing her say that everything was fine.
But when he heard Meng Yinyin say that she had a dream, his brows frowned and his eyes immediately darkened.
In fact, what he didn't tell Meng Yinyin was that he was not awakened by her scream.
He was also awakened by a dream.
