"It's been so long, and I don't know how they are doing. My brother and Qingzhou haven't written back.
Shen Yunqing said, sighing.
Fortunately, she finally didn't feel chest tightness today.
Ji Qingwan poured a glass of water for Shen Yunqing and helped her pack the things she wanted to take back.
"No news is the best news. Who knows, they might have already won the battle and returned."
As she spoke, she changed the subject and her eyes were filled with envy again.
"It's good to have someone you care about in your heart. You always have hope."
Shen Yunqing vaguely smelled a hint of gossip.
"I don't quite understand what you mean. Don't you miss Qingzhou?"
Ji Qingwan rolled her eyes at her. It was obvious that she was asking a question she already knew the answer to.
"Don't give me that. I think you've recovered from your illness and are looking for a beating again."
Shen Yunqing laughed playfully: "Sister Qingwan, you haven't been in love yet, have you?"
Ji Qingwan blushed and gently pushed her with one hand: "You talk as if you have talked about it before."
Shen Yunqing was frustrated, but unwilling to give up: "Then you don't have someone you like?"
When the topic came to this, Ji Qingwan's thoughts were pulled back to many years ago.
She sat down, the sunlight shining on her through the window.
"I did have one, but I was still young at the time. It was probably more than ten years ago. I'm not sure if it was love or not."
Shen Yunqing was confused: "More than ten years? You have someone you like so early? Sister Qingwan, can a good girl like you also fall in love early?"
She couldn't help but be curious: "So what happened next? Why didn't you two get together?"
Normally, no one would refuse a beauty like Ji Qingwan, right?
What's more, they were young and childhood sweethearts at that time, so the possibility of them becoming lovers would be greater.
"At that time, I didn't understand what love meant. We just looked after each other. I always felt that we were very similar. He had no parents, and we had the same experience. At that time, he always protected me."
Thinking about it now, those things seem to have happened just yesterday.
Ji Qingwan remembered it all vividly, even the appearance of the young boy was so clear in her mind.
"Later, my parents changed places for work, so we moved. At that time, I always followed him around, calling him brother, but I never asked him his name."
Up to this point, Ji Qingwan always felt regretful.
He protected her for so long in obscurity.
But she didn't even know his name.
Even if I really wanted to find someone, I wouldn't know where to start.
"It's been so long, I don't know what he looks like now. I'm afraid even if he walked right past us, we wouldn't recognize each other."
Shen Yunqing was immersed in it as if she was listening to a story.
"What a romantic childhood sweetheart relationship. Although people's appearance may change, the feelings will never change. If you meet again one day, you will definitely recognize each other."
That is the telepathy that only people with a tacit understanding can have.
Ji Qingwan just felt that she wanted to comfort herself. She smiled and said nothing, but the expression on her face was a little melancholy.
"Take good care of yourself from now on. I'm going back to the capital tomorrow. If you're not feeling well, don't force yourself. You can do the experiment anytime, but your body is your own."
The past few years in the countryside were indeed hard, but Ji Qingwan learned a lot.
This time I return to Beijing, I don’t know when we will meet again.
Shen Yunqing was stunned at first, then excitedly shook Ji Qingwan's hand.
"Great! The research base project has been completed, and the base in Xishan will be demolished soon. All researchers will be returning to the city in a week. I was about to tell you, but I didn't expect you to be back even earlier than me."
Ji Qingwan's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Really?"
Her voice was filled with excitement: “Then we can meet again in the capital.
I originally thought it was a farewell, but it turned out to be just a reunion in a different place.
Shen Yunqing took her arm and said, "Although you went back a few days earlier than me, it's no big deal. When Qingzhou comes back, we can go shopping together."
The two pretty little girls were hugging each other affectionately, leaving the onlookers confused.
When Ji Qingwan returned to the educated youth dormitory in the evening, she began to pack her things.
She had already called Ji Jingshan and Cao Yunzhi to tell them.
The couple agreed to come and pick her up early tomorrow morning.
Ji Qingwan suffered from insomnia as she had not returned to the capital for a long time.
She tossed and turned in bed, and the scenes of her childhood appeared before her eyes one by one.
In the blink of an eye, she had been in Baiyun Village for many years.
What she gained over the years was not only growth, but also friendship and family love.
She finally no longer had to go to great lengths to escape from that home, and she also saw her own heart clearly.

The next morning, Ji Qingwan took her things and went directly to Xie Yanbei's house.
Ye Lanqing was sweeping the yard with a broom.
Seeing Ji Qingwan coming, she quickly put down her things: "Qingwan, why are you here so early in the morning? Is there something wrong? Have you had breakfast this morning?"
Ji Qingwan shook her head and put the things in the yard.
She glanced at her pocket watch and saw that her parents should be arriving soon.
She came here today with a mission.
Xie Yanbei and Ji Qingzhou will also return to the capital after returning from the battlefield, so Ye Lanqing will be the only one left in Baiyun Village.
Although her condition has improved, she has not yet fully recovered. The Ji family is worried about her staying here alone.
"Aunt Ye, don't worry. I came here today to discuss something with you."
She was about to speak when the sound of a car engine came from outside.
Ji Qingwan and Ye Lanqing looked outside at the same time and saw Cao Yunzhi and Ji Jingshan getting out of the car.
"Mother-in-law? You came all the way here to take Qingwan back home, right? I've heated up some rice in the pot, you can have a few bites before you leave."
She had a warm smile on her face.
Although I feel a little reluctant, the children will have a better future if they go to Beijing.
This is a good thing worth celebrating.
Cao Yunzhi held Ye Lanqing's hand and said, "Sister Ye, we came here specially not only to take Qingwan home, but also to bring you along."
Ye Lanqing was a little surprised and waved his hands again and again: "No, no, no, I'm used to living here. I've spent almost half my life here. If I suddenly change places, it will definitely disturb you. Just live well in the city and don't worry about me."
She said, and started to retreat again.
Her roots are in this village. If she goes to the capital, she is afraid of causing trouble to others and feeling uncomfortable.
Although this yard is dilapidated, it is still my own world after all.
She takes care of her own little piece of land every day and is quite happy and comfortable.
This was the first time that Ji Jingshan formally met his mother-in-law. He was wearing a very formal Zhongshan suit and looked handsome and elegant.
"Sister Ye, my wife said you are two years older than us. I thought it would be more intimate to address you this way. We are all family. Qingzhou and Yanbei have already obtained their marriage certificate and will be living in the capital in the future. If you come with us, our family will be reunited."
