I don’t know how that person did it, but Song Shishi actually heard the sound of the lock on the window clicking.
Could it be that she forgot to close the window before going to bed at night?
Song Shishi's brain was working at high speed, and at this moment, she guessed many possibilities in her mind.
But if she didn't say anything, she would be in a passive position when the other party entered the room.
So Song Shishi clenched her fists and summoned up her courage to shout, "Who? Who's there?"
Her voice trembled slightly due to nervousness.
Song Shishi picked up the thick book beside the bed, thinking that if that person really dared to break in, she would hit him on the back of the head with the book first, and then take the opportunity to run out of the room and trap him inside.
My uncle's bedroom is just opposite.
"Shishi?"
...
...
But when that familiar voice was heard outside the window, Song Shishi walked forward incredulously and pulled open the curtains.
Under the moonlight, Meng Xunzhou stood tall and straight. Although his military uniform was a little wrinkled, it could not hide his heroic spirit.
The moment the two looked at each other, Song Shishi felt a sore nose and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
All the emotions during this period seemed to be released at this moment.
She dropped the thick book in her hand and reached out to open the window.
"Why are you here?"
Shouldn't Meng Xunzhou be in Beijing at this time?
Song Zhenhua was dismissed from his post and imprisoned, so Meng Xunzhou should be very busy.
How could he have free time to come to Haicheng to find her?
I had many questions in my mind that I wanted to ask Meng Xunzhou, but when the words came to my lips, I didn't know which one I should ask first.
Meng Xunzhou supported himself on the window sill with one hand, leaped forward, and jumped in.
As soon as he entered the room, he gently embraced Song Shishi in his arms.
"When I heard that you and my uncle were being targeted by local forces in Haicheng, I couldn't stay there for a moment, so I asked for leave and took a train overnight to come and see you."
As Meng Xunzhou spoke, he stepped back slightly and looked him up and down.
Seeing that Song Shishi was indeed not injured, I felt relieved.
"I'm glad you're okay. You don't know how worried I was along the way. I was afraid that something might happen to you."
In fact, Meng Xunzhou had thought of this countless times: if he came to Haicheng to find Song Shishi, but she was gone, what should he do?
Meng Xunzhou couldn't help but feel pain in his heart whenever he thought about never seeing her again.
Meng Xunzhou took Song Shishi into his arms again and held her tightly.
His embrace was warm and strong, like a solid barrier that kept all of Song Shishi's fears out.
"I'm fine. I just felt helpless and scared when I was looking for someone to save my uncle."
Song Shishi discovered that when she faced Meng Xunzhou now, she would unconsciously reveal her vulnerable side without any psychological burden.
Zheng Zeqian didn’t know if it was because he was too tired recently, but he slept very soundly tonight. He didn’t react at all to the noise just now.
In the bedroom opposite, Song Shishi and Meng Xunzhou sat side by side on the bed.
Song Shishi leaned on Meng Xunzhou's shoulder, feeling his body temperature, and her heart was filled with emotion.
The two of them snuggled together and sat like that all night. Song Shishi slowly told her what had happened in Haicheng these days, while Meng Xunzhou told her how Song Zhenhua was captured and how much he missed her.
"Don't do dangerous things like this again. I'm not by your side. If something goes wrong, do you want me to regret it for the rest of my life?"
Meng Xunzhou paused for a moment, calmed down and continued: "Shishi, we are finally together, and we are apart more often than we are together. When I don't want to hear about you, it's..."
After all, he couldn't say the word "death" in front of Song Shishi.
Song Shishi nodded and responded: "I see, I understand what you said."
Even if she encounters such a thing again, Song Shishi will still make the same choice and decision. She has never regretted what she did when Zheng Zeqian was in danger.
But this did not affect her understanding of Meng Xunzhou's concern and feelings for her.
It’s just that she’s not strong enough, and those people can easily control them.
If she could reach the same height as Mr. Xie one day, then when she comes to Haicheng again, those people would welcome her respectfully.
"I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow, you..."
"If you go back, I will go back with you."
Meng Xunzhou originally made this trip specifically for Song Shishi. Since Song Shishi is going back to Beijing, why is he still staying here?
It was just daybreak, and soft sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto the faces of Song Shishi and Meng Xunzhou.
Song Shishi glanced out the window, rubbed her stiff neck, turned around and saw Meng Xunzhou massaging her shoulders.
After being leaned on by her for a whole night, Meng Xunzhou's arms must have been numb.
She walked over and helped Meng Xunzhou relax his muscles.
"Are you feeling better?"
Meng Xunzhou smiled dotingly, "I'm fine, let's go out, otherwise if my uncle sees us, he will probably fight with me."
Seeing that he still had the mind to joke, Song Shishi let go of his arm and stood up.
"Then go wash up first, I'll go to the kitchen to make breakfast."
"good."
…
After Zheng Zeqian got up, he was stunned when he saw Meng Xunzhou watering flowers in the garden.
As his thoughts came back to him, a relieved smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Xunzhou is here. When did you arrive?"
Zheng Zeqian asked this question even though he knew the answer, because it was so early now and there was no train from Jingshi to Haicheng that arrived so early.
There is only one possibility, Meng Xunzhou came yesterday.
But he didn't see Meng Xunzhou during the day, which meant that he was gathering information about them during the day and climbed over the wall at night.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zeqian raised his eyes and glanced towards the courtyard wall.
"Uncle, breakfast is ready, wash your hands and eat quickly."
Without waiting for Meng Xunzhou to reply, Song Shishi stood behind Zheng Zeqian and urged him loudly.
Zheng Zeqian responded, then went to wash his hands with Meng Xunzhou.
The three of them sat around the dining table, which was filled with a simple but warm breakfast.
Steaming rice porridge, golden fried eggs, and two refreshing side dishes.
These were all things that Zheng Peilan specifically asked her to bring to Zheng Zeqian when she came to Haicheng this time.
It is said that he has been living overseas for many years and must miss this authentic side dish.
But this is also the truth. After seeing the side dishes pickled by her and Zheng Peilan themselves, Zheng Zeqian almost had some for every meal.
While eating, Zheng Zeqian talked to Meng Xunzhou about the current situation in Beijing. Song Shishi was listening nearby, concentrating on her breakfast and not interrupting.
For the entire morning, I don’t know if Zheng Zeqian did it on purpose, but he kept finding various reasons to pester Meng Xunzhou.
For lunch, Song Shishi once again had a few simple dishes. After all, she and Meng Xunzhou were going back to Beijing this afternoon, and if they cooked too much food, they wouldn't be able to finish it, which would be a waste.
There is still only one bus from Haicheng to Beijing at noon.
Zheng Zeqian originally planned to send Song Shishi and Meng Xunzhou away, but he unexpectedly received a call at the last minute. He only said that he would compensate her well when he returned to Beijing when he was free.
After lunch, Song Shishi and Meng Xunzhou went to the train station to wait for Xie Yushan and others.
After staying in Haicheng for so many days, they are finally going back.
Song Shishi was worried about Zheng Peilan and wanted to fly back to Beijing right away.
