As the car slowly drove away, Dong Ya, sitting in the car, couldn't hold back her tears, which streamed down her cheeks. In the end, she couldn't help but turn around and look at the back of the car.
Unfortunately, the road was still deserted...
"Ya Ya, don't cry..." Mr. Dong comforted her.
Dong Ya has always been very mature and sensible since she was a child, and has never caused her family any worry, let alone cried so badly. Seeing her current behavior, I can't help but feel sorry for her, and I also feel some resentment towards Chen Jianwei.
......
"Then how did you two run into each other again? And why is he in Beijing?" Wen Ruan asked, somewhat puzzled.
“A few days ago, when I was walking home in the alley, I ran into a local hoodlum. Everyone usually avoids him. That day I was in a hurry to get home and didn’t pay much attention to my surroundings. He blocked my way.”
"That scoundrel came up and started harassing me. I was about to shout, hoping that someone nearby would hear me and come out to help me."
Before I could even speak, the thug in front of me was kicked to the ground. It was Chen Jianwei who saved me again.
"In the end, the two of us turned that scoundrel over to the police station."
Wen Ruan couldn't help but marvel at the wonderful fate between the two: "And then? Why do I feel that your relationship is still a bit... stiff?"
Wen Ruan considered her words carefully, and after thinking for a moment, she decided to use the word "stiff" to describe it.
"I don't know either..." Dong Ya said helplessly.
Dong Ya had been back in the city for so long, and was originally very angry and furious with Chen Jianwei. But after they had really left and hadn't been in contact or seen each other for a long time, she would occasionally think back to the years she spent in the countryside.
But when he thought of Chen Jianwei's resolute decision when he left, he couldn't help but feel angry again, and he persisted in never taking the initiative to make a phone call or write a letter to Haishi.
Sometimes Dong Ya thought, "Why not just leave it at that? Everyone has their own life. Everything before seems like I was forcing things."
But just when she finally convinced herself, he appeared again...
Dong Ya couldn't help but smile bitterly; perhaps the two of them were destined to be entangled like this.
No wonder she sometimes felt like someone was secretly watching her when she went out; she had previously thought it was just her imagination.
But this time, she was somewhat certain that it wasn't a misperception; Chen Jianwei was secretly protecting him. But thankfully... Dong Ya couldn't help but feel a surge of relief.
"By the way, why did he come to Beijing? How did he get here?" Wen Ruan asked, somewhat puzzled.
Logically speaking, Chen Jianwei was the son of a rich peasant, and to some extent, he was considered someone who needed to be reformed. It was impossible for him to leave the brigade unless his family was also exonerated.
"After he rescued me that day, before I could have a detailed conversation with him, he quickly turned around and left as soon as we left the police station."
"After that, I called Haishi and inquired indirectly. I learned that the Chen family had also been exonerated. This time, he came to Beijing with a friend of his who worked in the Haishi transportation team."
"The letter of introduction that the brigade gave him only stated that he was going to Beijing to visit relatives."
"Then why did he appear at the back gate of Tsinghua University on Friday?" Wen Ruan asked, puzzled.
"Although he didn't say it, I think I discovered that he was working with his friends to import seafood and other local specialties from the sea market and resell them in Beijing." Nowadays, buying and selling goods is no longer something that would cause alarm; the atmosphere has gradually become more open, and all kinds of small vendors have emerged.
Through Dong Ya's description, she could sense that Dong Ya had deep feelings for Chen Jianwei, and that Chen Jianwei was not entirely indifferent to her either, otherwise he would not always appear in time whenever Dong Ya needed help.
Besides, even if he wanted to do business, Shanghai was closer to Beijing, and it was more open and had a better atmosphere in many ways, rather than choosing Beijing, which was thousands of miles away.
It's hard to say that Chen Jianwei's decision to come to Beijing wasn't due to Dong Ya, especially since in the original novel, Dong Ya and Song Yan divorced after their marriage, which led to Lin Qi and others being imprisoned and brought to justice. In the end, Dong Ya married Chen Jianwei.
It turns out that everything has a traceable origin, so the connection between the two could not be so easily severed.
But why does it feel like their relationship is still so strained? Or perhaps why is Chen Jianwei still somewhat indifferent to her?
Dong Ya didn't know the reason, perhaps for various reasons, only Chen Jianwei himself knew, or there might be some misunderstanding between the two. Wen Ruan kept comforting Dong Ya.
......
"Young man, are you going to sell this dried squid or not?" A middle-aged man called Chen Jianwei several times before he finally snapped out of his daze.
Chen Jianwei quickly handed the dried squid to the uncle, and only after the uncle paid and left did he have time to compose himself.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong with you this afternoon? You just went out and came back and you've been spacing out. Are you tired?" Xiong Hai asked.
Xiong Hai works as a driver in a transportation team in Haishi. There is an unwritten agreement among the team members that drivers can take some goods to other cities to find channels to sell them and make a profit. This is all tacitly agreed upon by everyone.
This time, Chen Jianwei took the initiative to approach him, wanting to cooperate with him to resell some dried seafood in Beijing.
After hearing his detailed plan, he felt it was very feasible. He had always known that Chen Jianwei was a very thoughtful and capable person.
When I first joined the transport team and drove independently, I was incredibly unlucky and encountered some thugs trying to rob me. It was he who stepped forward and saved me, and I have always been extremely grateful to him.
