Chapter 486 Return to the Siheyuan

Mingzhu snuggled in her father's arms. She understood the truth, but letting go was not that easy.

Jiang Duo was a person from a parallel world. Once she returned to this world, she could not catch or touch him. But her love was never fake. Jiang Duo had completely imprinted himself in her soul. She could not control her heart and she could not control herself.

Ming Haizhou could see that his daughter was really moved and heartbroken. If Jiang Duo was someone Mingzhu could still touch, even if he was old, he would definitely help her, but...

"Dear, don't worry, let's take it slowly, start by thinking about him for twenty hours a day, and slowly, add him into your own life. One day, you will find that your current life has replaced the past thoughts, and you have become the cheerful and happy little princess in your father's palm."

Mingzhu also understood that in this situation, if she let her family see her pain again, it would only make them sad.

She shouldn't be so selfish.

She nodded, trying to suppress her emotions that were about to collapse.

Ming Haizhou gently stroked Mingzhu's head, "Then take a good rest, my dear. Dad will ask aunt to make you something delicious. Our family hasn't eaten together for a long time. Let's have dinner together tonight?" "

Okay."

The family left the room to Mingzhu again, letting her calm down alone.

Mingzhu lay on the bed, raised her hand and gently stroked her neck.

The original dampness there had disappeared. At this moment, she could no longer feel Jiang Duo's sadness.

She closed her eyes, lay down slowly, and pulled the quilt over her head. When she was alone, the pain in her heart became clearer.

But she was completely powerless to do anything about it. She

didn't know how long she had been lying there. She was really about to collapse. She was afraid of the quietness of being alone, so she could only sit up and get out of bed by holding on to the edge of the bed.

The strength in her legs hasn't fully recovered yet, but she can walk slowly by holding on to the wall.

She came to the door, pushed it open, and heard the sound of her family chatting in the living room.

Ming Pu said, "I don't have anything to pack here, I can leave at any time."

Ming Jue nodded, "Me too, I'm teaching anyway, it doesn't matter where I am. I received an offer from a foreign university before, but I thought it would be boring to go alone. Now it's all right, with my family together, I have nothing to refuse."

Ming Haizhou agreed and looked at Wang Nanyiyi, "Then I'll make a call now and ask the Filipino maid there to clean up the room."

"Okay."

Ming Zhu walked out with heavy steps.

Mingjue stood up and trotted over: "Hey, little ancestor, why did you come out by yourself? Why did you get out of bed? Call me if you need anything."

Mingzhu was silent for a moment: "I don't want to be alone."

Mingjue half-supported and half-carried Mingzhu to the living room and sat on the sofa: "Then it's a good time for the family to chat together."

Mingzhu looked at her father: "Dad, what did you mean just now? Are we going abroad?"

Wang Nanyi avoided Mingzhu's eyes, but Ming Haizhou looked calm: "Recently, my business home is... It's not a good idea for your second brother and I to keep going back and forth, so we discussed it and decided to settle down abroad. It's just right that you don't have to work anymore, and you will have time in the future. "

Mingzhu's heart sank: "But I..."

Mingjue raised his hand and put it on Mingzhu's shoulder: "Oh, don't say buts, you are not the only one who gave up your job, I have to give it up too, as a family, we have to be together."

Mingzhu sighed, "Dad, when are we leaving?"

"Put things in order this week, and leave next Tuesday."

Mingzhu lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment: "I want to go to Beijing."

Mingjue frowned: "Why are you going there? Are you looking for sadness? Don't go, just stay at home and take care of your body."

"No, I want to say goodbye, I must go."

The living room was silent for a while, and after a while, Mingpu nodded: "Okay, it happens that I have to finish my contract, you eat well these two days, take care of your body, and I will go with you on the weekend."

Mingjue thought that Mingzhu was a stubborn person, and if she was not allowed to go, she would definitely go secretly by herself.

So... just watch: "Then I will go too."

Mingzhu didn't eat much for dinner, and finally vomited because of discomfort.

In order not to be a burden to her two brothers when they go to Beijing, Mingzhu will not only chat with her family every day to prevent herself from having wild thoughts, but also cooperate with the rehabilitation doctor to do some simple activities.

By the second day, although she still didn't eat much, she no longer vomited everything she ate, and her legs were much better than before, at least she could walk by herself.

On Saturday, the three siblings boarded a plane to Beijing together.

After landing, the car arranged by Mingpu picked up the two of them and went to the hutong together.

When passing the Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City, Mingzhu looked at the bustling crowd of tourists and thought of the photo of her and Jiang Duo outside the Shenwu Gate during the heavy snow "last year". She was smiling happily in the photo.

Her tears rolled in her eyes.

Mingjue, who was sitting next to her, asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Mingzhu forced a smile at her two brothers, "Before, in order to have a smooth birth, Jiang Duo would bring me here for a walk every night. Sometimes I couldn't walk anymore, so I would act like a spoiled child. He was very good-tempered, so he would carry me on his shoulders and carry me all the way home."

Mingjue and Mingpu looked at each other.

Mingjue cleared his throat, "Well... this kid is quite strong. Don't expect me to carry you later. I'm embarrassed."

Mingzhu rolled her eyes at Mingjue, "You're not afraid of being embarrassed, but I'm afraid you'll drop me. For this matter, I only trust Jiang Duo."

Mingjue hissed, and was about to say something when Mingpu slapped him.

He could only hum: "Okay, okay, don't argue with her."

The car quickly stopped at the entrance of the alley. After the three people got off, the driver looked for a place to park.

Mingjue supported Mingzhu and walked towards the alley step by step.

Mingzhu suddenly felt a sense of fear of being home and her steps slowed down a lot.

The original supply and marketing cooperative on the roadside has now become a series of small specialty stores, with no trace of the past. Only the old locust tree at the door of her house stands there as always, taller and stronger than more than 40 years ago.

This row of courtyards that originally looked old seemed to be covered by a layer of filter under the background of the times. Obviously, they look newer and better now, but Mingzhu only feels that the place where she once lived with Jiang Duo is better. Mingzhu

walked to the door of her "home" and felt a little weak in her feet. For her, she had just returned a few days ago, but now... things have changed.

She walked to the door and subconsciously touched her pocket, but there was no key.

She lowered her eyes, thinking of Jiang Duo sweeping snow here, walking with her, and how she had stood here countless times, looking forward to Jiang Duo coming home...

She couldn't suppress the grief in her heart, and cried: "Second brother, can you find the current owner of this place? I want to go 'home' and see--"
