Meng Xunzhou's sudden appearance made Song Shishi secretly relieved.
Meng Xunzhou rolled down the car window, and Song Shishi lowered her head slightly and looked towards the driver's seat.
"Meng Xunzhou? Why are you here?"
Meng Xunzhou got out of the car, glanced at Xie Youan who was standing next to him, and nodded politely.
Song Shishi handed Director Zhao to Meng Xunzhou, and Xie Youan naturally let go.
She then said to Xie Youan: "Comrade Xie, since my family is here, I won't bother you anymore, but thank you anyway."
After all, Xie Youan had no ill intentions, so he should be given the respect he deserves.
Xie Youan looked at Meng Xunzhou and nodded, "Okay, I'll leave first then."
Song Shishi nodded, and then she and Meng Xunzhou helped Director Zhao into the back seat of the car.
...
...
"Let's get in the car first." Meng Xunzhou opened the passenger door for her, and seeing that she was hesitant to speak, he spoke first.
Director Zhao was already drunk and unconscious. He was lying on the back seat of the car, and Song Shishi could only sit in the passenger seat.
Not long after she sat down, Meng Xunzhou suddenly approached her, scaring her so much that she held her breath, pressed her back against the seat, and dared not move.
As if sensing Song Shishi's nervousness, Meng Xunzhou curled the corners of his mouth slightly, stretched out his long arm, pulled the seat belt from beside her and fastened it for her.
His voice was gentle: "Let's send him back first. Where does he live?"
Meng Xunzhou sat back and distanced himself from her.
Song Shishi exhaled quietly, and then replied: "It's in the guesthouse in front."
"good."
With Meng Xunzhou around, it would be much easier for her to deal with such things.
As soon as he got out of the car, Meng Xunzhou swiftly carried Director Zhao on his shoulders, asked for the address, and walked with big strides to take Director Zhao back to the room.
Before leaving, Song Shishi deliberately covered Director Zhao with a quilt, and then the two left.
On the way back, she remembered that Meng Xunzhou hadn't answered her question yet, so she asked again: "I told you in my previous letter that I was going back to Beijing, but in your reply to me, why didn't you tell me that you were coming back too?"
Meng Xunzhou turned his head to look at her, then quickly retracted his gaze and looked forward, "It was a temporary task that I was not aware of in advance."
"Then how did you know I was here?"
The timing of Meng Xunzhou's arrival today was too coincidental.
"I'll go to your house to find you. Aunt Zheng told me the address."
Yes, she was afraid that Zheng Peilan would worry, so when she came to the hotel, she made a special call home.
There was another silence in the car, and Meng Xunzhou suddenly asked: "How long will you stay in Beijing this time?"
"Well... it's still uncertain. We have to wait for the test results tomorrow to find out."
If she failed the assessment, she would probably have to rush back to Huaiqing tomorrow.
"What about you?" Song Shishi asked back.
"It has not been decided yet. I will wait and see what the leader arranges."
Meng Xunzhou is still the same as before, not talkative, but he is an existence that cannot be ignored.
Looking back, he was actually always the one being the center of attention in the military compound, but he always liked to stay by her side.
In the past, she might have been used to Meng Xunzhou being by her side in this way, so she would always unconsciously ignore his existence.
But for some reason, since her rebirth, she found herself increasingly influenced by Meng Xunzhou's words and deeds.
"Then you shouldn't have much space behind you, right?"
"What? Something wrong?"
Meng Xunzhou asked, but received no response for a long time.
Neither of them spoke again.
The car slowly drove into the military compound and stopped in front of her house.
Song Shishi glanced at the lighted window, hesitated for a moment, and took the initiative to break the silence: "Um... I'm here."
"Um."
Seeing that Meng Xunzhou just nodded and had nothing else to say, she unbuckled her seat belt and went to open the car door.
But there was a clear sound of a lock being locked.
His movements paused, and he turned around to look at Meng Xunzhou in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"that……"
The action of locking the door just now was just a subconscious action of Meng Xunzhou.
But after locking it, when he met Song Shishi's gaze, he felt a little regretful, fearing that such an action would scare her.
He actually wanted to ask Song Shishi who the man was at the door of the hotel just now, but in what capacity did he ask this question now?
No matter how you ask, it's very abrupt.
"I went to see An Jinsheng."
Meng Xunzhou didn't understand why he brought up this matter at this time.
After saying that, Meng Xunzhou carefully observed her expression.
After all, An Jinsheng was a member of the same group of educated youth who went to Huaiqing Brigade as Song Shishi, and he saved her.
He was afraid that she would care about him meeting An Jinsheng without permission.
But he was also eager to know what Song Shishi thought of An Jinsheng.
A man like that is not worthy of touching the purity in his heart.
Song Shishi just raised her eyebrows without much reaction, as if waiting for Meng Xunzhou's next words.
"He is not a good person. He saved you that day on purpose to show you. Don't..." Having said this, Meng Xunzhou suddenly didn't know what to say.
It doesn't seem very nice for him to talk about others behind their backs.
But he didn't want Song Shishi to develop other feelings towards An Jinsheng because of this incident.
Song Shishi raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes firm, "I know, I did it on purpose."
"What?" Meng Xunzhou didn't understand.
"I said I knew he did it on purpose. Before I met Zhou Yuan that day, it was An Jinsheng who was pestering me. I was trying to avoid him, so I didn't notice Zhou Yuan near the grove. And he didn't show up earlier or later, but just when Zhou Yuan subdued me and...he showed up. I don't believe in this kind of coincidence."
Even Xu Li had never said these words.
But now he said it so bluntly to Meng Xunzhou.
But after saying this, she felt a lot more relieved.
Meng Xunzhou learned about the whole incident from other people, so he was not aware of many details at the time.
Therefore, Meng Xunzhou did not understand what Song Shishi just said, "I know, I did it on purpose."
So Meng Xunzhou continued to ask: "What do you mean by saying you did it on purpose?"
"In fact, when An Jinsheng and Zhou Yuan were fighting, I just hid and didn't call for help right away. I waited until An Jinsheng stabbed Zhou Yuan before I called for help. As a result, I happened to run into Captain Chen and his men on the way."
After saying that, Song Shishi belatedly measured Meng Xunzhou's expression and asked hesitantly, "Now that you know the truth, will you think I'm a very bad person?"
Meng Xunzhou shook his head. "No, I am surprised and delighted that you are able to protect yourself. You will always be the best in my heart, don't worry."
When she heard that, a smile appeared on her face again.
"However, you just said that you met Captain Chen and others from the Youth League Institute on the way?" Meng Xunzhou frowned, still analyzing the matter in his mind.
Seeing how serious Meng Xunzhou was about his affairs, she felt very warm in her heart.
She was about to say something when, from her angle, she saw Zheng Peilan and Song Zhenhua standing behind the curtains and looking at them.
