Repulse Bay, Hong Kong.
It is one of the poorer districts among the 18 districts of the port city.
Until 9 p.m.
Zhou Shuyao then moved into a cramped room with Song Yaoyao and the triplets, which was even smaller than their house in the Shitou Village family compound.
Because the house is next to a garbage dump and the windows are never opened, it has a musty smell inside.
When Song Yaoyao saw this environment, which was even harsher than that of an island, she was completely stunned.
She had always thought that Hong Kong was full of gold, but she never expected that there would be such dilapidated and smelly houses here.
Song Yaoyao didn't say much, and pulled the three children to leave, saying, "What a shabby house! We still have a few hundred yuan, let's exchange it for money and rent a better place!"
She and the children walked several steps out of the rented house, but still didn't see anyone chasing her. Curious, she turned her head to look at Zhou Shuyao.
Zhou Shuyao was seen fondly stroking the tattered little bed frame, as if sweetly reminiscing about something.
Song Yaoyao instantly realized that this room must have been the room where Zhou Shuyao and Ling Huanwu lived in their previous life.
She couldn't stand it, so she rushed over and started arguing with him, demanding that he move to another place.
The two had a huge argument in the house on their very first day there.
"I don't care. I can't stand living in that shabby house you and Ling Huanwu lived in. The bed is so small, how are the five of us supposed to sleep?"
"If Huanwu can afford to live here, why are you, a nanny's daughter, so precious? If you're so capable, then take your child and live in the wealthy neighborhood where Qin Jinshen lives..."
The two were so engrossed in their argument that they didn't notice that in the blink of an eye, Xiao Bao's attention was drawn to a motorcycle speeding past the door, and he ran out of the house on his short legs.
When the two realized that only Da Bao and Er Bao were left in the house, they felt like the sky had fallen. Each of them held one child and searched everywhere for Xiao Bao.
But in the crowded, neon-lit streets of the port city, where can you still find Xiao Bao's little figure?
*
In the Stone Village, at the handicraft cooperative.
Lin Xiaoqin, Qiao Hui, and Political Commissar Hao were woken up in the middle of the night, some even with their shoes on the wrong feet, and they all gathered in the cooperative's office.
Wang Guihua placed her fingers on Zhou Jiuzhen's pulse for a long time, her brows furrowed, and everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.
After a long while, Wang Guihua finally let go of her hand, looking embarrassed. "The pulse showed no serious problems, but her heart rate was extremely fast. She probably fainted because she was too excited. We'll go to the hospital for a check-up when it gets light."
"Excited?"
Commissar Hao was greatly puzzled and shocked.
This week, Jiuzhen doesn't seem like someone who gets easily excited. What could possibly make this person, who wouldn't get excited even if someone had a gun to his head, so agitated?
At this moment, Zhou Jiuzhen's entire body was flushed red, his eyes were closed, and he was too ashamed to show his face.
Ling Huanwu was also extremely embarrassed. If people knew that she was the one who caused a newly awakened vegetative patient to faint from excitement, she would definitely be gossiped about and called a vixen.
She saw the group off from the cooperative, then turned back to look at Zhou Jiuzhen, who was still lying on the bed pretending to sleep. She sighed deeply, lay down beside him, and hugged his waist tightly. "You get so excited when you see me?"
Zhou Jiuzhen's eyelids twitched, and he turned to look at the woman nestled in his arms. "Yeah, I wish I could be tied to you every moment."
“Huanwu…”
He murmured her name.
With just that soft exclamation, Ling Huanwu felt a lump in her throat. She never expected that this taciturn man would finally come to his senses and express his feelings.
"Actually, although I couldn't move for the past year, I could feel it more or less when you helped me wipe my body and talked to me."
Do you know the pain of being able to feel someone's emotions but not being able to hold them in your arms?
"I think that since you've taken such good care of me, when I wake up, it'll be my turn to take care of you, to help you bathe and change your clothes..."
Ling Huanwu was surprised that this guy could still have feelings and fantasies even while in a vegetative state, so she quickly covered his mouth with both hands, "You pervert! You're still so restless even while in a vegetative state!"
Zhou Jiuzhen smiled, his eyes crinkling, and kissed her palm. "Who told you to take off your long johns in front of me, one after another? How many pairs of long johns are you going to wear anyway?"
Ling Huanwu felt extremely ashamed when her embarrassing secret was exposed.
"I'm sensitive to both heat and cold, so wearing more clothes won't stop you from getting things done!"
Actually, she wasn't so afraid of the cold at the beginning of her previous life.
When her family first arrived in the port city, Xiao Bao disappeared from the house in the blink of an eye while she was tidying up.
Someone said that a child had fallen into the wastewater pool of the factory behind the factory.
At that time, the temperature in the port city at night was only 6 or 7 degrees Celsius. Without thinking twice, she frantically plunged into the pool full of chemical waste to rescue the person, and spent the whole night doing so.
It was after this incident that she developed a problem where her legs would stiffen and ache when they got cold.
Even in this life, with a healthy body, she could still feel the chill seeping into her thighs and bones.
The pain of being hurt and betrayed by her closest relatives is etched into her soul, and she still feels a chill every time she thinks of her children's accusations and denunciations.
Zhou Jiuzhen clamped her icy little feet between his legs, and cupped her injured, cabbage-like face in his hands. "From now on, I, your man, will warm your feet for the rest of your life. I will never let you suffer from the cold again!"
The warmth from her feet spread slowly from the soles to the tip of her heart. Ling Huanwu looked at him, her nose tingling, and she choked out, "But, I made a bet with Commander Zhao that if I can't achieve anything on the island, I'll marry his son. I'm afraid..."
Zhou Jiuzhen rubbed his high nose against hers, then pulled her into his arms again. "Silly girl, no one can separate us!"
He recalled the marriage certificate that was kept in the family compound, and a sweet smile appeared on his lips.
None of them knew that they had already obtained their marriage certificate.
No one can break up a military marriage or separate them.
As for Zhao Jingxiang, as the son of a high-ranking official, he also has to pay the price for his mistakes!
Early the next morning.
Ling Huanwu packed her bags and, together with her mother-in-law, planned to go to the dock to take the military's escort boat to the city hospital for a medical check-up.
Before leaving, Zhou Jiuzhen insisted on going back to the family compound to get something, saying he wanted to give Ling Huanwu a surprise.
Back in the small house where the two of them lived, Zhou Jiuzhen pointed to the drawer of the mahogany table by the bed, "Open it and take out the things inside, there's a surprise inside!"
Ling Huanwu was confused and thought he had hidden some kind of ring inside again, wanting to compete with eighteen-year-old Xiao Zhouzhou in proposing.
To her surprise, she pressed down on her upturned lips, rummaged through the drawer again and again, and even turned it upside down and shook it, but there was no trace of the ring.
Zhou Jiuzhen's pupils trembled as he frantically rummaged through the stack of documents and papers he had taken from the drawer on the table.
Where is there any trace of a marriage certificate?
He clearly left the marriage certificate here before, so how come everything else is here except for the marriage certificate?
