Chapter 255 Jiang Rou predicted all of this
The couple were strolling in the yard when they suddenly heard footsteps in the house.
Zhou Chongshan was shocked.
He instantly loosened his arms that were around Jiang Rou's waist, wiped his lips, and put some distance between them.
Right after.
Zhou Xiaochuan walked out of the house and looked at the two of them hurriedly.
He was stunned.
I felt a strange atmosphere, something was not right.
Zhou Xiaochuan raised his head and looked at Jiang Rou and Zhou Chongshan in confusion.
Zhou Chongshan coughed lightly a few times.
"Ahem, Xiaochuan, what's wrong?"
Zhou Xiaochuan came back to his senses, "Dad, my sister wet the bed."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go change the quilt now."
Zhou Chongshan walked over and took Zhou Xiaochuan away. The two figures, one big and one small, walked into the room.
Jiang Rou stood in the yard and enjoyed the breeze for a while.
After the temperature on her face dissipated a little, she turned and walked into the house and started her busy day.
…
The other side.
Song Qingqian returned home.
The gate to the yard was unlocked and could be opened easily.
After walking in.
Song Qingqian did not return to the room, but went to the small kitchen on the side first.
Put yesterday's wet clothes aside and carefully place the jar of brown sugar on the stove.
Song Qingqian made a fire and boiled water while taking out some ginger.
Last night, Jiang Rou cooked brown sugar and ginger water with finely shredded ginger.
She held the ginger in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, first cutting it into slices, then putting the slices together and continuing to cut them into thin strips.
Song Qingqian's knife skills were not good enough to cut ginger shreds into even-sized pieces like Jiang Rou's.
But it's just for boiling water, so you don't need to worry too much about the size.
After a while.
The water is boiling.
Song Qingqian stood in front of the stove, feeling a little troubled.
She didn't know whether to put the shredded ginger first or the brown sugar first.
never mind.
Just put them together.
Song Qingqian put the chopped ginger into the boiling water and was about to open the lid of the brown sugar jar——
At this moment.
A spurt.
A figure appeared hurriedly outside the kitchen door.
He was so anxious that his shoulder hit the door frame, making a clanging sound.
The wooden door was buzzing.
The only person who would appear in this room would be He Donglai.
At this moment.
He Donglai looked even worse than Song Qingqian.
His face was pale, his eye sockets were full of bloodshot, and he looked exhausted from a sleepless night.
He was still wearing...the clothes that got wet yesterday.
He Donglai has been in the house the whole time.
Although he had no expectations, he still sat in the living room and waited.
As dawn approached.
When feeling tired, I close my eyes for a while to rest.
Finally, I was awakened by the sound of cutting vegetables coming from the small kitchen.
At first, He Donglai thought he was too tired and had auditory hallucinations.
But if you listen carefully, it seems to be true.
He suddenly stood up from his chair and rushed to the kitchen.
My shoulder hit the wooden door, causing bursts of pain.
The pain at this moment made him crazy happy.
Because it hurts, which means it’s not a dream.
Song Qingqian is back!
She really came back, right in front of him.
"you……"
He Donglai's eyes were shining, and he stared at Song Qingqian without blinking, fearing that the person in front of him would disappear.
When he spoke, his voice was frighteningly hoarse.
The cold and anxiety of the night have been tormenting the man.
Song Qingqian looked at the clothes on He Donglai and frowned.
"Why didn't you change your wet clothes?"
The clothes that had been wet all night now became wrinkled, sticking to He Donglai's body, cold and damp.
Jiang Rou really got all of this right.
What an idiot! How can you not even take care of yourself?
Song Qingqian took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in her heart, and restrained herself from speaking calmly.
"Go change your clothes first, then come back and drink ginger tea."
He Donglai couldn't believe what he heard, and asked in a daze, "You won't leave again?"
"This is my home, where else can I go?"
Song Qingqian glanced at He Donglai, then reopened the brown sugar jar and added brown sugar to the ginger water.
How much should I add?
If I had known earlier, I should have asked Jiang Rou carefully before coming here.
Forget it, brown sugar is sweet anyway, and sweet things don’t taste bad, so just add more.
Song Qingqian took a spoon, scooped out the brown sugar, and put it in one spoonful at a time.
He Donglai looked at her unskilled movements, frowning with a look of confusion.
He was sure that this person was Song Qingqian.
She's back!
…
Three minutes later.
He Donglai changed his clothes and returned to the kitchen again.
Gurgle, gurgle, the brown sugar ginger water is boiling.
Song Qingqian first filled a small cup and put it in He Donglai's hand.
He Donglai took it, his Adam's apple moved noticeably, as if he wanted to say something, but his lips were tightly pursed.
There was silence.
The atmosphere between the two was subtly awkward.
It's like going back to last night.
But Song Qingqian knew that something was different.
She looked carefully at He Donglai's face, especially the left side of his face, where she could vaguely see a faint mark.
That was the mark of her slap.
"sorry."
Song Qingqian spoke silently.
He Donglai raised his head, holding a boiling teacup in his hand, and his eyes fell on Song Qingqian.
"He Donglai, I'm sorry."
Song Qingqian apologized again, more sincerely than ever before.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that yesterday. And... I should have told you this apology seven years ago. I made so many mistakes back then, and I shouldn't have been with other people and treated you like that."
"You don't have to say sorry. I never care about what those people do. And I know you are different from them."
He Donglai's voice was still hoarse.
He paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth moved, revealing an imperceptible arc.
"Qingqian, you were the one who cleared my name in the end, wasn't it?"
He Donglai dropped out of school suddenly, and when Commander Ye showed up, he immediately took him away.
He wanted to be an upright soldier without any stain.
Things cannot be left unclear; they must be made clear.
Therefore, Commander Ye specially arranged for someone to continue the investigation after He Donglai left.
As a result, when the news came back, there was no need for investigation at all, because someone had already forced out the truth and someone had already confessed.
At that time, He Donglai knew that it was Song Qingqian who cleared his name.
