The stone was flat and warm, which prevented insects from crawling on it. Ji Ling slept well, but she didn't know that Zhu Weidong, who learned that his wife had run away, rushed out after hearing the news.
It was late at night and the people on the construction site had been busy all day. They had just finished work and had not eaten yet, but when they heard the news, they became anxious.
Zhu Weidong rushed out, Engineer Li also chased after him, and Director Wang asked Chi Fangping and the others what was going on.
Chi Fangping could only repeat what Lin Xiang said, "When Master Liu came back and heard about this, he asked Xiao Song to drive over here to look for him, but he didn't see anyone all the way to your place."
"Nonsense." Director Wang got anxious when he heard it. He turned around and looked around the crowd. After searching for a while but couldn't find anyone, he grabbed the person next to him and asked, "Where is Supervisor Hu? Ask him to come over immediately."
The person who got the message went to look for someone immediately.
Seeing Director Wang so angry, no one dared to speak.
"It takes half a day to drive here from where we live. Xiao Zhu has never gone back since he came here. He has dedicated so much to the project. What are you doing behind the scenes? A group of people bullied a little girl. She is only 21 years old. Are you scared?"
Chang Ya wanted to stand up and explain, but when she saw Director Wang’s angry face, she stepped back in fear and looked at Chi Fangping worriedly.
Chi Fangping said, "Director Wang, it's our fault. We have realized that what we did was wrong. Zhu Weidong is not strong enough if he goes out alone now. Do you want to send a few more people to look for him separately?"
Director Wang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. "You're right."
Then he pointed at the people behind him and said, "You, you, and you, split up and lead others to look for the person, and a few others go find Engineer Zhu."
Before everyone had even eaten, they were sent out to look for someone.
When Zhu Weidong was caught up by the people behind him, he had already run two miles with a flashlight. After getting in the car, he asked the driver to drive in the direction of his residence, then got off halfway and said that he would look for it carefully himself, and asked them to look for the person in the residence to see if he had returned.
The people who followed him were worried, and when they saw his cold face that could freeze a person to death, they immediately obeyed and drove away.
Zhu Weidong looked at the pitch-black night all around him, stood there for a while, and continued walking towards his residence. However, he would call out to Ji Ling every few steps, but the only response he got was the chirping of insects.
Zhu Weidong did not give up. He kept calling for help as he walked, and whenever he passed a place with a big tree on the roadside, he would go over to check.
This time, he crawled through the tall grass and, with the help of the moonlight, saw a figure on a stone not far away, and then he stood still.
He didn't call out to anyone, but stood there quietly. After making sure that he was not seeing things, he strode over.
Getting closer and closer, Zhu Weidong pressed the flashlight downwards so that the light fell on the ground. He walked to the stone and slowly squatted down, looking at his wife who was sleeping soundly. Her face, which had been pursed all day, finally relaxed. He walked forward and gently held her in his arms.
Ji Ling felt like she had a dream. In the dream, she was sleeping in the wild, and Zhu Weidong came over. She smiled and held his face and asked him if he was done. Then... Then she woke up, and Zhu Weidong was still in front of her.
It was already dawn. Ji Ling looked at the people around her and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhu Weidong didn't sleep all night, just staring at the people. Seeing his wife in his arms with a surprised look on her face, he smiled and said, "Aren't you going to look for me? Since you can't find me, then I'll do it."
Ji Lingxing was still a little dazed in her sleep, but she finally woke up and asked, "You came out to see me?"
"I'm sorry for making you suffer." Zhu Weidong held her in his arms. "To make up for it, I drove away mosquitoes for you all night. Is it worth forgiving?"
Ji Ling smiled and leaned into his arms, moving closer to him, "How did you recognize me? It's so dark outside."
"Who would be so stupid as to sleep in the wild in the middle of the night?" Zhu Weidong hugged her, his nose pressed against hers, and his lips moved when he spoke, touching hers. "Only you are so stupid as to let yourself suffer."
Ji Ling raised her head and pecked him on the mouth, "I'm stupid, do you like it?"
"I like it." Zhu Weidong said, and then kissed her.
Ji Ling put her arms around his neck, and the two of them talked about what happened after they broke up. They were all small things, and when they talked about them, they would laugh out loud from time to time.
The sun rose and was already shining brightly. Ji Ling then asked, "Did you come out by yourself?"
Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, "Is there anyone else?"
"Um."
"Does everyone know that you found me?"
"have no idea."
"Then let's go back quickly, otherwise everyone will still be looking for me."
Zhu Weidong held the person back in his arms again, "Don't worry."
"How can I not be anxious? It's not good to make everyone suffer because of my affairs." Ji Ling pushed him, "Anyway, I did nothing wrong. I came out because I was wronged."
"I know, so let them be anxious." Zhu Weidong laughed softly, "We must seek redress for the grievances we have suffered."
Ji Ling was happy to hear that, but she still looked at him cautiously, "Then you don't blame me for causing trouble for you, do you? They all say that I'm like a distinguished guest. I don't care, as long as I live comfortably. But you work here, so it will have an impact."
"I work based on my own ability, it has nothing to do with anything else." Zhu Weidong carried his wife down the rock, and did not let go of her hand after he stood firm. "I'll carry you back."
Ji Ling quickly refused, "No, I can walk by myself."
"No, the road here is uneven." Without giving in, Zhu Weidong turned around and squatted down.
Ji Ling stood there without moving.
Zhu Weidong urged again, "I can carry you back."
"Forget it, I'll just carry it on my back." Ji Ling lay on it and felt her body leaning forward, and her vision suddenly became clear.
She put her arms around Zhu Weidong's neck, put her mouth close to his ear, and asked with a smile, "Is it heavy?"
“Not heavy.”
"lie."
"Heavy."
"How dare you look down on me? I am now two people."
Zhu Weidong: "The child is heavy, but you are not."
Phew.
Ji Ling smiled and kissed him hard on the face again, "Very good."
Zhu Weidong carried his wife on his back and walked towards their residence. The two of them did not walk very fast. Not long after they went, they met a truck that was coming towards them. Seeing the two of them, the truck drove a little faster and stopped a few meters away.
"Engineer Zhu, are you okay?" Xiao Song jumped off the truck and ran to the two men.
Zhu Weidong said, "It's okay, let's go back to our residence first."
Ji Ling moved her body and tried to get off Zhu Weidong, but the big hand on her leg used some force to pull her back.
Xiao Song was also standing there, waiting for someone to come down, but he saw Engineer Zhu carrying someone on his back and walking towards the car. He didn't react at first and was stunned for a while. Only after Zhu Weidong called him did he follow him.
