Han Zecheng came back early that night.
Su Ruo bought some vegetables and took Guoguo home. She asked Guoguo to wash his hands, change his clothes and go to his room to play, and then she went to the kitchen to prepare the vegetables.
There wasn't much fresh food to buy in the state-owned vegetable market in winter, especially since she went there in the evening. She just bought some pork shanks, Chinese cabbage, some green peppers and some dried tofu. She also had some dried mushrooms at home, so she planned to make a pork shank and mushroom soup, and some pickled cabbage with vinegar and some stir-fried green peppers and dried tofu.
Su Ruo had just boiled water and put the pork shanks in the water when Han Zecheng came back.
Su Ruo was washing cabbage.
Han Zecheng stood at the kitchen door and looked at her for a while before saying, "Leave it there. I'll wash it later."
Su Ruo didn't bother to be pretentious with him. She turned off the water and said, "Okay, then change your clothes quickly."
After saying that, she felt annoyed by his gloomy look, so when he turned around, she said, "Wait a moment."
Han Zecheng paused, then turned back to look at her. Although his expression was still a little gloomy, his voice was gentle, "What's wrong?"
This time Su Ruo did not say anything. Instead, she walked over and grabbed his arm, looking up at him on tiptoe. He had already lowered his head, so she kissed him gently. His lips were warm but a little dry. She licked them lightly with her tongue before he hugged her. She quickly let go of him and moved back, saying, "Go, go see Guoguo."
Han Zecheng's Adam's apple rolled.
The sinking feeling in my heart became even stronger.
He reached out and touched her head, then bent down and kissed her forehead before turning and leaving.
Su Ruo touched her forehead where he had kissed her and felt that he was a little strange.
******
After dinner, the two of them usually read together in the study.
At first they read their own books, but later their relationship changed and she often pestered him to read with her, but he also had his own things to do, so she was very sensible and would not disturb him most of the time.
But now that Su Ruo has finished the college entrance examination, she doesn't need to review her lessons anymore.
I packed up my things in the afternoon, and then in the evening I took out my sketchbook and sat on the sofa to flip through it.
Han Zecheng sat down next to her.
Su Ruo tilted her head and said, "Don't you need to read tonight?"
"Need not,"
He said, "I'll look at the picture album with you."
Su Ruo's hand, which was flipping through the drawing paper, paused.
She simply put down the album and looked at him carefully, saying, "What's wrong with you?"
"Why do you ask?"
He said.
Su Ruo curled her lips and said, "Something is wrong with you coming back tonight."
At noon, I only had eyes for her... Well, when I saw her, I wanted to kiss and hug her, and when I looked at her, my eyes were tender and passionate.
I'm full of worries at night... Can you please not make the difference too obvious?
Han Zecheng looked at her lively expression... Ever since she forgot everything in the past, her expression became particularly lively, and there was always a vitality and beauty about her that filled people's hearts with hope.
He actually wants to protect this vitality and beauty.
Let the darkness in her eyes never appear again.
But he is a soldier.
It's impossible to be with her all the time.
He said, "Liang Zhengwu came to me today and asked me to go to the Yunnan border to carry out a mission."
Su Ruo was stunned.
She looked at him for a long while before she murmured, "Is the Yunnan border dangerous? Also, how long will it take?"
By the time she got to the end she sounded like she was about to cry.
Even when he went to the border to carry out a mission, he still had this expression on his face, which really made people think too much.
Didn’t he say before that she didn’t follow the army because he went to the Northwest for a few years?
Han Zecheng felt a pain in his heart when he saw her like this, and he quickly reached out and patted her, saying, "There's no danger, it's just that the border is upgrading its detection system. Because I have experience in this area, they want me to go over and help with the preparations for the upgrade. This shouldn't take long, and I should be back before the end of the year."
Su Ruo was stunned again, then stretched out her hand and pinched him, saying: "It's just this matter, do you want to scare me to death? Why don't you speak clearly."
Han Zecheng: ...
He grabbed her hand and said, "Won't you be angry or sad?"
Su Ruo was puzzled: "You are just going to help set up a project. You will be back before the New Year, maybe even earlier. There is no danger. Why should I be sad and angry?"
After saying that, she frowned, looked at him again, and said, "You are not lying to me, are you? Some missions in the military are definitely confidential. Is this just a superficial mission you told me about? Do you actually have a dangerous secret mission?"
As he spoke, confusion appeared in his eyes again.
He said hurriedly, "No, no, I will definitely be back before the New Year. It's just that you just came here, and you may have to go to school in two months. I wanted to spend more time with you and Guoguo during this time."
Su Ruo sighed.
Of course she was reluctant to leave.
But there was no way around it, she could still understand it.
She said, "It's okay, it's just before the New Year, maybe I can come back earlier... Oh."
But when I think about it this way, I really feel a little reluctant.
Alas, I was relieved before because I compared it with “going to the border, it’s dangerous, and I don’t know how long I’ll be gone”, but now that there is nothing to compare it with, I feel a little uncomfortable.
But she has lived an independent life since she was young and is always thoughtful.
She was usually spoiled by him, and because he was always too serious and formal, she couldn't help but act coquettishly with him and asked him to stop being so serious.
But if something really happens, I won’t act unreasonably.
Judging from his expression, he was obviously very nervous about her reaction.
How could she let him leave feeling uncomfortable and uneasy, and still worry about her when he was on a mission...
So she took a deep breath, suppressed the reluctance and discomfort in her heart, and asked him, "When are you leaving?"
"the day after tomorrow."
He said.
Su Ruo took another breath.
She didn't want to look at the picture album anymore, so she threw it on the floor and climbed into his arms. He scooped her up and let her sit in his arms.
He lowered his head and kissed her closely. After a while, he held her in his arms and said, "I'm sorry."
Su Ruo leaned in his arms.
In fact, there was no need for him to apologize to her.
She slowed her breathing for a while, then supported herself on his chest with her hands and moved back a little, but her hands were still on his chest. Under her hands were strong muscles and a powerful heartbeat, hot and full of power. She liked being by his side, liked being close to him, liked him holding her.
All this made her feel at ease.
There is no longer the fear and uneasiness that always followed me around, which still remained in my heart no matter how hard I tried to overcome it.
It seemed that as long as he was around, she could really be a willful little girl.
This was a feeling she had never experienced since she could remember.
She said, "I like you."
Han Zecheng was stunned.
He looked at her without saying anything.
Su Ruo didn't look at him, still staring at his chest, and whispered, "But when I was packing my things this afternoon, I realized that I have only been here for more than a month... I know that although we are husband and wife in your place and I have been married to you for five years, it is not the case here."
"I used to not be someone who would completely trust someone. I could sense the kindness and malice of others, and I would try to repay their kindness, but I would not completely trust them. But I trusted you from the first moment I saw you..."
At this point she laughed and said, "Maybe it's because you're wearing a military uniform and look so righteous, because you're a responsible soldier."
"So, you don't have to say sorry to me. I trusted you and followed you because you were a responsible soldier, and then... I fell in love with you. Now you just have to fulfill your duty as a soldier. How could I be angry with you?"
His hands were on her waist, unconsciously applying force.
At that moment, I felt my entire chest filled with an unknown emotion that was almost overflowing without restraint.
He has always loved her and spoiled her.
But in fact, I am not so sure about the feelings between the two people.
Even though he knew that she trusted him and was attached to him.
I was also worried that he was the first thing she saw when she woke up, and he would be the only one in her life from then on.
When she entered university, her life became more fulfilling, she met more and more people, and more and more like-minded people. The paths they walked on became more and more distant, and the attachment they once had also faded.
Perhaps he had always underestimated her and her feelings.
He pressed her back into his arms, lowered his head and gently kissed her from behind her ear to her neck, then whispered, "I have never asked you, Ruoruo, are you willing to live with me in the future?"
Su Ruo's heart was beating rapidly.
Almost jumping out.
My nose also feels sore and swollen.
But she didn't want to shyly say "yes", and she was afraid that she would cry and then not be able to speak properly... She sniffed, then reached out and pinched him, saying: "Why are you asking me this? You have done those things to me, don't you want to be irresponsible... You are asking me now, are you actually not sure whether we will live together well in the future, so you did those things to me?"
Han Zecheng laughed.
She first heard his muffled laugh, and then she heard him say, "I'm not sure if you're willing, so I'll do it first and ask later. This way, even if you're not willing at first, you'll have no choice but to agree."
He loves her.
He did not deny the means and schemes he had used on her in order to get her during this period.
Su Ruo:......
Neither of them read anymore.
That night, Han Zecheng naturally moved back to the big bed to sleep.
Su Ruo still felt a little nervous when she thought about the suffering she had endured last night.
However, Han Zecheng hugged her and comforted her, saying that nothing would happen tonight.
But he said he would not do anything. They had just untied themselves yesterday and were now very passionate. He would be leaving in two days, so naturally they did not want to separate at all. As they kissed, they naturally went deeper into each other's body.
Su Ruo was just a little scared, but she couldn't bear to refuse him.
But this time, Han Zecheng did not indulge himself at all. Instead, he paid attention to her reactions all the time. He was very gentle and could be said to be trying to please her the whole night... although it was really hard for him to restrain himself.
But seeing her completely released under him, seeing her indulge in him and crying, is also another extreme sensory experience.
And Su Ruo never thought that this kind of thing could go to this extent...
Afterwards, he kissed her and asked her, "Did you like it?"
Su Ruo felt shy and weak. She didn't have the strength to speak. Even her toes seemed to be twitching. She wanted to pinch him, but because she had no strength, she could only touch him softly. Then she made a shy and annoyed "hmm" sound and rubbed against his arms.
He hugged her, really loving her like this, and couldn't help but lower his head to kiss her again. Su Ru was startled and hurriedly said, "No, no more."
She was really completely exhausted, her voice was as soft as a kitten's and a little hoarse.
Han Zecheng chuckled and just hugged her tighter.
But the next day, it was another experience.
Only then did Su Ruo realize that she had only enjoyed herself yesterday.
But thinking that he would leave the next day, I didn't have the heart to reject him too much...in fact, I couldn't reject him.
******
A month and a half later, on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, accompanied by the first heavy snow of this winter, Su Ruo received the admission letter from Qingdao University.
She was so happy that even the sadness of not knowing whether Han Zecheng could come back for the New Year was alleviated a lot.
It happened that Han Zecheng called her that night. She was just about to tell him the good news, but she didn't expect him to tell her that he would be back with the troops the next day. Su Ruo swallowed back the words she had almost said.
She thought she should wait until he came back and tell him the news in person.
After all, this matter meant a lot to her, and she really wanted to share the good news with him in person.
I really couldn't be happier.
However, the next day, before Su Ruo waited for Han Zecheng to come back, she met Zhou Nianxue, whom she had met more than a month ago.
It was at Gu Yilin and Yu Wan’s home.
Su Ruo saw it when she was sending Han Guo to kindergarten and Yu Wan invited her to her home.
Su Ruo was a little surprised.
When Yu Wan introduced Su Ruo, Zhou Nianxue smiled and said gently, "Wan Wan, you don't need to introduce me. I have already met Comrade Su once when I was in the provincial capital last time. But at that time, I didn't know that Comrade Su was not only good-looking, but also a top student. He was even admitted to Qingdao University. It's impossible not to be impressed by him."
Yu Wan smiled and said, "Yeah, when my Lingling told me this morning, I was so surprised. You don't know, our Lingling was so proud just because she was admitted to the Normal University."
Although Yu Ling and Su Ruo have not known each other for long, they have similar personalities and have a good relationship.
After Yu Ling received the admission letter from the Normal University yesterday, she went to find Su Ruo. Naturally, Su Ruo would not hide from her the fact that she was admitted to Qingdao University. However, she did not expect that other people would know it so soon.
Su Ruo listened to Zhou Nianxue and Yu Wan praising her with an awkward smile.
She knew that Han Zecheng and Gu Yilin had known each other since middle school and went to military university together, so they could be said to have a very deep friendship.
I have known Yu Wan for many years.
Looking at how familiar Zhou Nianxue and Yu Wan are with each other...I'm afraid the four of them can be said to have known each other since childhood.
This made Su Ruo feel a little embarrassed standing here.
Although they all smiled beautifully and seemed very kind.
After a few pleasantries, Yu Wan smiled and said, "Okay, since you know each other, you can chat first. I'll go out and buy some food. Aruo, please help me greet Nianxue."
Su Ruo felt even more uncomfortable.
She knew that this must be a setup arranged by Zhou Nianxue and Yu Wan, and they had specially invited her to come and talk.
Perhaps she was too sensitive, and Yu Wan's behavior made her feel like she was being plotted against by someone she knew.
However, since Zhou Nianxue had arranged such a situation and came to her door, she would not be afraid. Instead, she wanted to see what she wanted to do by looking for her.
Yu Wan leaves.
In the living room, Zhou Nianxue looked at Su Ruo carefully and said gently, "Comrade Su looks really young. If you don't know, it would be hard to believe that Comrade Su is already the mother of a child who is almost four years old."
Su Ruo thought to herself that she was very young.
Even if you include the five years that inexplicably disappeared, she was only twenty-three years old.
She said in a cold tone, smiling faintly: "Comrade Zhou also looks very young."
Apart from Han Zecheng, there was no other connection between the two people.
But she and Han Zecheng were engaged many years ago, and later, for whatever reason, she broke off the engagement and married someone else.
What's the point of looking for her now?
Zhou Nianxue smiled bitterly and said, "I may look like I'm still young, but Comrade Su is really young."
After he finished speaking, he paused, straightened his expression, looked at Su Ruo and said, "Ze Cheng and I were once an engaged couple."
I have to say that Su Ruo was very glad that she had already known about this from Han Zecheng before.
Otherwise, wouldn't we be caught off guard now?
She said, "I know about this, but Brother Han and I have been married for almost five years, and Comrade Zhou should have been married for more than five years too, right? Why did you specifically come to me when Brother Han was not around to talk about these old things?"
"I'm divorced."
Su Ruo was stunned.
She couldn't believe her ears.
It’s not that I can’t believe that Zhou Nianxue is divorced.
But he couldn't believe that Zhou Nianxue was divorced, so he came to talk to her and told her that she and Han Zecheng were once an engaged couple.
This purpose shouldn't be too obvious...
But what if I ran and told him?
She couldn't mean that I was Han Zecheng's fiancée before, and although the engagement was later annulled and we got married again, I'm divorced now, so could you please return Han Zecheng to me, please?
Is there something wrong with my brain?
Su Ruo was a little stunned by this operation.
Zhou Nianxue ignored Su Ruo's surprise and said, "I wonder if Comrade Su knows how I broke up with Ze Cheng?"
Su Ruo said nothing.
I don’t care how you broke up, let alone that Han Zecheng has already told her.
Even if she wasn't told, she had no interest in knowing...at least not from her.
But Zhou Nianxue didn't know what Su Ruo was thinking. She said slowly, "Things were not good during those years. My father suffered a lot... I think with your experience, you should be able to understand my situation at the time. My father suffered a lot of torture and pain during that time. Later, someone told me that he could help my father, but the condition was that I marry him."
"That was my father who loved me deeply and protected me since I was a child. I couldn't just care about my own happiness and ignore the torture and life and death he suffered. So, for him, I agreed to that man, broke off the engagement with Zecheng, and married him."
Su Ruo:......
I'm not saying your choice is wrong, that's your own life, your own choice.
Since you used your marriage to make your father's life better, then just live a good life with him. Why get a divorce?
Oh, now the situation is better, your father's condition has improved, and he may even have been reinstated, so you don't need him anymore, so you just kick him out?
It’s not that Su Ruo lacks compassion.
But she knew that there was no doubt that she had a purpose in coming here to tell her these things.
Just like her stepmother Lin Wanhua, her stepsister Su Jia, and even her father, everyone has a lot of helplessness and helplessness from their perspective.
But if she sympathized with them, and gave in to them out of sympathy, then even if she skinned and boned herself and fed her to them it would not be enough.
Everyone should be responsible for his or her own life.
I didn't say you were wrong, but you came and forced me to follow your standards.
Su Ruo said nothing, and her face showed no expression. Zhou Nianxue glanced at her and said, "I betrayed Ze Cheng, and he probably wanted to get revenge on me, so he married you a month later."
Su Ruo:......
She looked at the woman in front of her who was smiling at her gently, and thought of Lin Wanhua and Su Jia again.
Although their looks and temperaments were completely different, she could sense the same aura in them.
But she has experience in dealing with Lin Wanhua and Su Jia.
She looked back at her, without the shock and anger that Zhou Nianxue wanted to see, and thought she would see. She just looked at her straight, then suddenly chuckled and said, "So what is the purpose of Comrade Zhou coming to tell me this? Are you trying to tell me that my husband doesn't like me, and that he married me to get revenge on you because you had no choice? Is the person he actually loves in his heart you are?"
Zhou Nianxue's face turned pale and she straightened her back.
It's one thing to hint at it, but it's another to have it said outright and thrown back in the face.
Su Ruowei raised her chin, sneered, and said, "If you really have this confidence, or if you really have this face, then go find Brother Han. Why are you looking for me? Do you want me to give up and help you?"
Is there something wrong with your brain?
"Because he is a man with a sense of responsibility."
Zhou Nianxue looked at her and said word by word, "Because he is married to you and has a child with you, no matter if he likes you or not, he will definitely be responsible for you."
