"Brother, you just said you had something to tell me, what was it?" Chen Nongmo found that his uncle seemed to be lost in his own thoughts, and his whole body was so cold that it seemed as if ice chips were about to fall off.
Shao Yue came back to his senses, but did not answer. Instead, he obeyed his beating heart, and as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and turned the steering wheel around: "Let's talk about it later. I have to go back."
That familiar gaze just now should not be his illusion.
He had to confirm again. He didn't want to miss any possibility.
Hearing this, the other three people in the car looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what was going on.
But seeing Shao Yue's solemn expression, no one asked any further questions.
The car had only been driving for a minute or two, and the speed was not slow, when soon a slightly harsh braking sound was heard and the car stopped in front of the campus gate, followed by the sound of the driver's door being slammed shut.
Seeing the tall man walking towards the school and looking around, Tong Xiuxiu exclaimed: "What's going on? Is Big Brother looking for something?"
Chen Nongmo was also puzzled, but when she saw the security guard coming out to stop people, she immediately took out her student ID and jumped out of the car.
"Brother, what's the matter? What are you looking for?" After handing his student ID to the guard, Chen Nongmo was allowed to pass and followed his uncle into the school.
Shao Yue still did not answer. It should be said that at this moment, he put all his attention on the gaze just now and did not hear what his sister-in-law said at all.
His whole mind was filled with... Could it be her?
If it was her, why didn't she come to him? Was she okay?
With such a gentle personality, must you have suffered a lot over the years?
Where did she go suddenly?
His confused thoughts suddenly stopped and his footsteps in military boots also stopped abruptly. Shao Yue's eyes became hot and he stared at the woman who was squatting under a tree not far away with her head buried.
His eyes were so ferocious, as if he wanted to tear the person to pieces.
It was as if he was afraid to get closer, afraid that everything in front of him was just another emotional bubble that was teasing him.
Chen Nongmo had been following closely behind his uncle, so naturally he saw his somewhat ferocious expression.
She glanced again and saw Teacher Yu still squatting on the ground. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind. Could it be... Thinking of a possibility, Chen Nongmo looked up at the man with his cheeks bulging and his fists clenched tightly. She pursed her lips, and finally left quietly without asking anything.
By the way, he took away Tong Xiuxiu who came along to check the situation.
"What happened?"
".happy event."
= Ran Shuang and Shao Yue were separated for 16 years.
It was too long, about half of her life.
When we met again, he had changed a lot. The young man who used to be so outgoing and cheerful had become cold and rigid.
But she still recognized it at a glance.
In fact, she should be satisfied. He looked very good and had embarked on the military career he had always longed for. He also married an excellent wife.
At least this time, it made sense for me to come back despite my family’s opposition.
But. Ran Shuang pulled out the necklace hidden in her clothes with trembling hands, opened the pendant, and revealed the photo hidden inside that she had cherished for half her life.
It was a gift Shao Yue gave her not long after they got together.
It was a summer day when she unexpectedly saw a newly married couple going to a photo studio to take commemorative photos. The boy, who was a bit overbearing in nature, pulled her to take a photo with him.
He firmly stated that when he graduated from high school and got married, he would enlarge the photo and hang it in a glass frame.
This is also the only photo between them.
Over the years, even though Ran Shuang changed her name, she never let the pendant leave her side, and she never gave up the obsession in her heart.
That's why when the domestic environment became a little better, they were unwilling to endure it any longer and hurried back.
It was obvious that she had been suffering for more than ten years, but when she really stood on her hometown again, Ran Shuang retreated again.
She was afraid that the boy in her memory had already met someone else, and she was even more afraid that he was waiting for her stubbornly.
Ran Shuang even thought that with more time, she would be mentally prepared enough and be able to deal with various situations maturely and gracefully. But she never expected that the meeting would come so unexpectedly.
Thinking of the scene of him standing with classmate Chen, even though he had prepared himself mentally before returning home, when this moment really came, Ran Shuang still felt a pain in his heart that he could hardly breathe.
Maybe she shouldn't have come back.
That’s not right. At least we know that he is living a good life.
Another string of tears fell, and Ran Shuang instinctively raised her hand to wipe them away, but at this moment, a pair of military boots appeared in her sight.
She was stunned for a moment, and after making sure that she was not mistaken, she slowly raised her head and looked upwards.
The person was very tall and Ran Shuang was squatting, so from this position, she couldn't see the other person's face at all.
But just by looking at the pair of large hands stretched out towards her, she knew who the person in front of her was.
Ran Shuang wanted to be respectable, but she was in terrible shape at the moment.
The instinct is to escape.
She couldn't tell whether it was because of her disheveled appearance at the moment or the other party's possible married status.
In short, all of this made Ran Shuang want to disappear immediately.
She did so, dodging the other's outstretched hand, staggering to her feet and trying to escape . "I'm not married."
At this moment, the man's deep voice directly blocked her legs as she was about to move.
Ran Shuang turned around suddenly and stared at the person with a pair of red and swollen eyes.
After so many years of waiting and searching, Shao Yue actually had a lot of questions to ask and even more complaints to express.
But at this moment, the moment he was sure it was really her, he suddenly realized that nothing else mattered.
As long as she is safe, it's fine. He took two steps forward, very calmly held out his hand and led her out: "Let's find a place to talk."
Ran Shuang let him hold her hand. She didn't have the strength to struggle. She just stared at him stupidly.
It was not until I walked out of the school gate and saw classmate Chen getting off the bus that I came to my senses.
Chen Nongmo asked with a smile: "Teacher Yu, where is your bicycle?"
Hearing this, Shao Yue turned his head to look at her.
Yu Ying, also known as Ran Shuang, then remembered that she had left her bicycle behind. She slightly broke free from the man's big hand and stammered, "At school, I... I'll go back and ride it over."
Shao Yue: "No need, I'll go."
Ran Shuang pursed her lips and did not refuse: "It's behind the tree I was just standing at, the one with the green curved bar."
Shao Yue nodded, turned around and strode back to the campus.
Chen Nongmo stepped forward and took Ran Shuang's arm, as if he didn't notice her red and swollen eyes and uncomfortable look, and said with a smile: "Teacher, let's get in the car first, big brother will be quick."
".Brother?"
"Ah, I am his brother Shao Zheng's wife. You know what happened in my family. Shao Zheng was busy in the army, so I didn't ask him to come back. It just so happened that my mother-in-law said that my eldest brother had a vacation."
Ran Shuang suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief, then followed the other party's force and got into the car.
Shao Yue came back quickly, put the car on the roof again, sat in the driver's seat and asked, "Are you okay later?"
Ran Shuang curled her fingers: "It's okay."
Shao Yue nodded, said nothing more, started the car and left.
Shao Yue borrowed a room from his brother's wife and took Ran Shuang in.
This is a guest room that has never been occupied.
However, Aunt Tao still diligently kept the house clean.
Shao Yue looked around the room, settled the person on a stool, and then said, "Wait for me here. I'll go out for a while."
Ran Shuang subconsciously grabbed his hand, and then let it go as if she was burned: "Where are you going?"
Shao Yue moved his fingers: "Go get something."
Having said that, he stared at the person for a while before turning and leaving.
In the yard, Chen Nongmo and Tong Xiuxiu had just seen off the guards and were both stunned when they saw their eldest brother coming out so quickly.
I want to ask, but I don't know how to start. I feel so uncomfortable.
Shao Yue, on the other hand, had no change in expression as usual. He came over and briefly recounted what had delayed him and prevented him from saying.
It was only at this time that Chen Nongmo found out that his family had been targeted a week ago.
Now those people have basically been caught, only one escaped early. ".Don't worry too much, I will stay at your house before catching him, and I will pick you up during the day."
Hearing this, Chen Nongmo said, "Thank you, big brother. By the way, Teacher Yu came back with us today. Will he be seen by others?"
"I know my limits. Do you have a clean towel?"
"Yes, brother, you go in and accompany Teacher Yu first, I will make the arrangements!" As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Nongmo excitedly pulled Tong Xiuxiu to the main room.
Shao Yue was a little confused as to why his sister-in-law became so excited for no reason.
But he was not too curious and turned back to the house.
Here, Tong Xiuxiu followed her friend with curiosity: "What's going on? What's going on? Does Teacher Yu know your eldest brother? Or is it that kind of relationship?"
Chen Nongmo took out a new towel from the drawer and smiled meaningfully: "Maybe."
"What do you know? Tell me."
"We'll talk later. Come on, accompany me to the kitchen first."
"What are you doing in the kitchen? Didn't you get the towel?"
"How can it be so monotonous?"
So, when they returned to the house, before Shao Yue and Ran Shuang had time to chat, they saw two girls walking in with a bunch of things, followed by Aunt Tao carrying a heater.
Chen Nongmo prepared everything including thermos, towels, washbasin, snacks and tea.
Then, in the surprised eyes of the elder uncle and Teacher Yu, he smiled and said, "Ahem. Well, you guys can eat and talk at the same time. There's no rush."
Although she still didn't know what was going on, Tong Xiuxiu was willing to follow her friend's lead and smiled: "Yes, we're all staying here tonight, so let's chat slowly."
Shao Yue saw the two off, and after closing the door, he hesitated for a few seconds before walking to the washstand, adding some warm water, washing a clean towel and handing it over: "Apply to your face first."
Ran Shuang took it and said, "Thank you."
Shao Yue, who didn't like her politeness, pursed his lips, brought the heater between them, and sat down: "When did you change the name?"
Hearing this, Ran Shuang paused, and just as she was about to lift the towel covering her eyes, she heard, "Let's put it this way, don't your eyes hurt?"
It was a little painful, so she pressed her hand back, letting the warmth wrap around her stinging eyes: "I changed it when I left."
"Where have you been all these years?"
".Germany."
After hearing this, Shao Yue's expression remained unchanged, but his hands on his knees unconsciously tightened.
In fact, he roughly guessed it.
I also understand why Ran Shuang left without saying goodbye: "Is it because you are afraid of getting me into trouble?"
Tears burst out again without warning. Ran Shuang didn't know why, but she felt as if she had been waiting for these words for half her life.
It’s great that the boy she once liked didn’t make any assumptions about her because she left without saying goodbye.
The lover she had been in love with for a year and could not forget in sixteen years, still believed in her even after a long time of separation.
"Why are you crying again?" Shao Yue approached her helplessly, hesitated for a while before reaching out his hand and pressing her head against his chest.
Ran Shuang didn't know why she was crying. She thought that she had cried all her tears on the day her father forcibly took her abroad.
But when she was held in that familiar yet strange embrace again, and listened to his cold yet caring words, she not only did not restrain herself, but cried even more heartbreakingly.
It seemed as if he wanted to vent all the sadness and grievances of the past ten years.
= In the yard.
Chen Nongmo, who was throwing something for Xiao Hei to chew, subconsciously looked towards the house when he heard the crying.
The sound is not particularly loud, but it makes people feel inexplicably sad.
Tong Xiuxiu sniffed: "What's going on?"
Chen Nongmo also only knows a rough outline: "I don't know much either, I just know that they were a couple before, and then lost contact for 16 years."
"Hiss" It was impossible to imagine the scene of being separated from Cao Liu for sixteen years after falling in love with him. Tong Xiuxiu said that she felt even more sad and wanted to cry.
"Why are your eyes still red? Don't you want to cry?" Chen Nongmo teased with a choked voice.
Tong Xiuxiu retorted: "You are not much better than me."
Chen Nongmo wrinkled his nose and was about to push back when he caught a glimpse of a tall figure walking in quickly out of the corner of his eye.
Before she could see the person clearly, her body felt lighter and then she was picked up.
"Hey? What's up, Captain Shao? How did you come back?" Before he could finish his exclamation, Chen Nongmo, who saw clearly who was coming, immediately said in surprise.
But obviously, her joy did not reach Shao Zheng. His face looked very ugly. He did not reply and walked straight to the bedroom with the person in his arms.
"Tell me, why didn't you notify me about such a big thing?" Although he was filled with fear and anger from the moment he received the call from his mother, he still instinctively moved lightly when he really put the person on the bed.
It was the first time that Chen Nongmo saw her husband angry. He was always gentle and polite, at least in front of her.
She stared at him blankly for a long time, then rolled her eyes and asked pitifully, "Are you mean to me?"
Knowing clearly that his wife was pretending and she didn't even try to hide her pretense, Shao Zheng was still hesitant when asked.
Then he wiped his face weakly: "I didn't."
"You did. You were mean to me just now."
"I was being reasonable."
"Do you have to be so harsh when you're talking about reason? You weren't like this before."
"Okay, I was wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"This is all wrong, can you please stop pinching me?"
“.”
