In the evening, Yu Xiangnian called home using the hotel's phone.
"Dad, we're back in Ping County. We're going to Sucheng tomorrow. We're coming here in the car of your comrade, Uncle Yang."
Yu Jiashun thought to himself that Old Yang did a pretty good job this time.
He just made the call the day before yesterday, and everyone was picked up today.
Yu Jiashun said, "If you need anything, just tell your Uncle Yang. You're welcome."
Yu Xiangnian: "Okay."
Yu Jiashun asked again: "Where is Cheng Jingmo?"
"He's right next to us. Do you want to talk to him?"
"What can I say to him?" He paused and continued, "Wait until you come back and let him talk to me properly!"
Yu Xiangnian looked at Cheng Jingmo with sympathy.
After taking a bath in the guesthouse's bathhouse and returning to the room, Cheng Jingmo was carefully copying the manuscripts.
"Cheng Jingmo, why don't you use the pen I gave you?"
Cheng Jingmo copied the manuscript and replied, "I can't bear to use it."
Yu Xiangnian sneered, "It's just a pen, not really. If you break it, I'll buy you another one."
"That's the gift you gave me."
Yu Xiangnian raised his eyebrows, "Then I will often give you gifts in the future, on your birthday, wedding anniversary, Valentine's Day, Chinese Valentine's Day, New Year's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, Qingming Festival... I can give you gifts on any festival!"
"Wedding anniversary?" Cheng Jingmo paused, "Do you remember our wedding day?"
Yu Xiangnian: “…”
She walked over with a wry smile, hugged him from behind, and rested her chin on his shoulder. "You've copied so much, your handwriting is so beautiful."
Cheng Jingmo: “···” He knew that Yu Xiangnian didn’t remember!
Yu Xiangnian said delicately on his shoulder: "I'm tired after a day, it's time to sleep."
Cheng Jingmo wrote two more sentences, finished copying this paragraph, put the pen cap on, turned around and hugged Yu Xiangnian.
He put the person down on the bed, squatted in front of the bed, and took out a gold bracelet from his pocket.
"I've already wiped it down nice and clear," he said. "Which hand do you want to wear it on?"
Yu Xiangnian stretched out his left hand.
A scene had already emerged in her mind.
Pink bubbles were floating around him as Cheng Jingmo half-knelt and put the bracelet on her finger, just like a modern man proposing to a woman.
good!
Cheng Jingmo had never proposed to her before, so now was the perfect time to make up for it.
But the reality was: Cheng Jingmo had squeezed her hands almost into chicken claws, but the bracelet was still stuck on her knuckles.
Yu Xiangnian suggested, "How about some soapy water?"
"Yeah." Cheng Jingmo agreed.
He got some soapy water, and with Xiang Nian's help, he finally put the bracelet on.
Yu Xiangnian washed his hands, raised his wrist, and admired the bracelet carefully.
The bracelet is golden in color and has a pair of dragon and phoenix on the outer circle. The pair of dragon and phoenix do not take up the entire outer circle, but only about half of it, which is very exquisite.
The dragon and phoenix are facing each other and are carved extremely delicately, with their eyes and feathers appearing lifelike.
"Cheng Jingmo, your mother must be an exquisite woman, and she is financially well-off."
Cheng Jingmo said: "She shouldn't be a member of the People's Liberation Army."
"Huh?" Yu Xiangnian was surprised. "Didn't you say last time that she was?"
"People's Liberation Army soldiers generally don't carry such valuables with them," Cheng Jingmo said. "There's also a jade pendant that's kept at our home."
"I think she must be a capitalist or a national who fled abroad. She thought I was a burden and abandoned me. She must have other children now and has forgotten me."
Yu Xiangnian: "...Then how do you explain the PLA uniform you were wrapped in when you were born?"
"They disguised themselves as PLA soldiers to make it easier for them to sneak out."
Yu Xiangnian: “…”
This reversal is too big!
Suddenly, he went from being a PLA soldier who sacrificed his life for the country to a traitorous fugitive?
"No!" Yu Xiangnian asked in confusion, "Cheng Jingmo, why did you suddenly have this idea?"
Cheng Jingmo said seriously, "I analyzed it carefully today."
Yu Xiangnian's mouth twitched. "So, today we were talking about the agreement, and you were silent. Were you thinking about this?"
"Um."
"Tsk!" Yu Xiangnian rolled his eyes. "I thought you were sad because I told you about your past in front of so many people today!"
Cheng Jingmo replied: "There's nothing to be sad about."
When Yu Xiangnian was angry and left that family, there was no one and nothing worth his attention, so he would not be sad.
"I'm tired, let's go to sleep." Yu Xiangnian fell on the bed first.
Cheng Jingmo turned off the lights and lay down next to her.
In the darkness, Yu Xiangnian chuckled, "Cheng Jingmo, be quiet, your mother is watching you!"
Cheng Jingmo was indeed silent.
Yu Xiangnian waited for a long time, but there was still no movement.
I don’t know if he was angry or what.
She nudged him, "Cheng Jingmo?"
"Um."
"I was just joking."
Cheng Jingmo's voice was a little discouraged, "I don't think I can do it anymore."
Yu Xiangnian: “…” Bad news! Absolutely bad news!
She had only been enjoying herself for a few days, and this was it?!
"How about I take off the bracelet?" she said.
"It's not about the bracelet, it's me."
Yu Xiangnian searched quickly in her mind, how to comfort a man when he is not able to do it?
"You may be under a lot of pressure these days. Just take a two-day rest and you'll be fine." Yu Xiangnian gave the standard answer.
Cheng Jingmo asked, "What if taking a two-day break doesn't work?"
"Rest first, then I'll take you to see a doctor if it doesn't work."
"Niannian, if I can't make it, you won't abandon me, right?" Cheng Jingmo asked cautiously.
"I···"
Definitely not! She's still so young! How can we expect her to be a vegetarian forever after just starting to eat meat?
Yu Xiangnian swallowed the rest of the words and comforted him, "Don't be so pessimistic. I'll take you to Beijing to see a doctor when the time comes."
"I knew you wouldn't want me."
Cheng Jingmo sounded very aggrieved and sad. "You just said not long ago that you would never abandon me and that you would treat me well in the future. You lied to me."
Yu Xiangnian: “…”
Oops, I should have added a prerequisite! You have to be really good!
"Look, you don't even explain!" Cheng Jingmo felt extremely aggrieved, "You Sea Queen!"
Yu Xiangnian felt a headache, "No, Cheng Jingmo, just once is not enough, don't..."
All words were blocked by the warm lips, and Yu Xiangnian was hurt.
"Cheng Jingmo, you liar!" After being drained by Cheng Jingmo, Yu Xiangnian hit his shoulder breathlessly.
Cheng Jingmo's voice was filled with laughter. "Who is lying to whom? I will remember everything you said. Don't even think about going back on your word. Also, our wedding day is December 20th."
Yu Xiangnian said confidently, "I'm going to regret it, and I can't remember it, so what?"
"so!"
The night outside was as cool as water, but the heat in the room was overwhelming.
