That photo was taken when the exchange class started. Lu Jili asked the young comrades in the Propaganda Department to take a "handshake photo" of Meng Hechuan and Bai Yan.
Teacher Wang leaned over to take a look and laughed, "It's Xiaobai! What? Xiaobai is also in the team?"
He was puzzled again: "Didn't you find her? I heard she got married, didn't you?"
In an instant, huge waves surged in Meng Hechuan's eyes.
The slender finger pointed at the photo and asked Teacher Wang: "Teacher Wang, Bai Yan, I mean her, her last name is Bai, but she is not from Baijia Village"
It is hard to imagine that such a confusing and illogical sentence came from the mouth of a top student of Jingzhou University and the chief engineer of the aerospace brigade.
Fortunately, Teacher Wang understood.
He answered confidently: "Xiao Bai is from Baijia Village. She told me so. I even went to Baijia Village with her to persuade those children who dropped out of school early. How could she not be?"
"Before she joined the brigade, I checked her identity. Her household registration is now under the jurisdiction of Lijia Village in the town."
...
...
"Impossible! Xiaobai is from Baijia Village, and her accent is more southern!"
Teacher Wang took the photo, thought for a while, and shook his hand. "Oh! Xiaobai said that her father and brother, who were greedy for money, sold her to the butcher in the town as a wife for 200 yuan. Her family was afraid that she would not marry, so they moved her household registration to the collective household of Lijia Village. If she makes trouble, she will have no place to register and can't go back!"
The shouting sounds coming from the playground seemed to have been paused at this moment.
Everything stopped at this moment.
It's her.
The Xiaobai that Teacher Wang mentioned is Bai Yan.
Bai Yan once told Teacher Wang that she saved someone!
So the person who saved him without saying a word in Baijia Village was her?
So there are scars on her palms from that time!
But if it was her, why would that epaulette appear in Ruan Xiaohui's hands?
Meng Hechuan clutched the photo tightly, trying hard to review it in his mind.
Starting from the epaulettes that fell off Ruan Xiaohui's body, was there anything he hadn't noticed?
Bai Yan, Ruan Xiaohui...
The scene goes back in time.
They really started to have contact with Ruan Xiaohui at the railway police station in Yanzhou.
Then--
At that time, Ruan Xiaohui wore Bai Yan's clothes!
Memories are linked together.
In the police station, Bai Yan took the initiative to lend her clothes to Ruan Xiaohui.
So, is it possible that the epaulettes in Ruan Xiaohui's hand were 'stolen' from Bai Yan's clothes?
Once such an idea comes up, it is difficult to take it back.
If the person who saved him was really Bai Yan, then would there be a deeper bond between them?
Meng Hechuan took off his epaulettes when the girl carried him out of the mountains.
He promised her that he could exchange the epaulettes for his needs in return for her saving his life.
The grace of saving my life is worth anything in exchange.
Even if the girl asked him to marry her with her epaulettes, he would do it as long as her identity was innocent.
Wave after wave of thoughts hit Meng Hechuan.
He clenched his fists.
He couldn't tell whether he was happy or nervous at this moment.
It's still time to be suspicious.
Bai Yan was the one who saved herself and got the epaulettes.
Meng Hechuan was actually smart, but he had been deliberately misled by Bai Yan again and again before.
In addition, Ruan Xiaohui had evil intentions and was determined to conceal the truth, which is why he was kept in the dark for so long.
When all the fog is cleared away, there are traces of the past.
No wonder Bai Yan could call out her name at Jinling Railway Station.
No wonder Ruan Xiaohui mistakenly said that she picked up the epaulettes, because she had no idea that the epaulettes were handed over by Meng Hechuan himself.
Everything about her is a lie.
Ruan Xiaohui has ulterior motives, and he has his own way of dealing with her.
But Bai Yan was obviously the girl who saved him. Why didn't she mention it at all after they met again?
Or even let Ruan Xiaohui impersonate her?
Am I some kind of monster that she wants to avoid?
Or does she have other reasons? Hidden motives?
Or was he threatened by Ruan Xiaohui?
Meng Hechuan had an idea every now and then.
What's even more ridiculous is that he even had a hint of doubt.
Could it be that Ruan Xiaohui threatened Bai Yan with a knife and asked her to pretend to wear the epaulettes?
But Bai Yan is that cunning little cat, and her claws are sharper than anyone else's when it comes to catching people.
How could it be so easy to be threatened by Ruan Xiaohui?
Meng Hechuan clenched his fists.
Because of anger, the blue veins on the back of his hand were prominent.
But because it was her, I felt even more ecstatic.
"So Xiaobai is also in the team? Do you know each other?" Teacher Wang returned the photo to Meng Hechuan and asked in confusion: "Achuan, what's going on?"
Meng Hechuan did not return the photos to the young comrade.
Xiao Zhou was considerate and extended his hand to invite the young comrade to go first.
"Teacher, Comrade Bai Yan is the translator I newly recruited for this trip south. I didn't expect that she was the girl you recommended to me."
Teacher Wang was also excited when he heard this, "That's great, I haven't seen Xiaobai for a long time, take me to see her if you have the chance."
Meng Hechuan opened the door for him again. "There's no rush to see her. She's a translator now, and there will be many opportunities for her to meet you later. It took a day for you to catch the train from Jinling to Jingzhou. I'll take you there first, and then I'll take you to meet the chief."
Teacher Wang nodded.
"Xiao Zhou, take Teacher Wang to Building No. 1."
Building No. 1 is the dormitory building where Meng Hechuan and others live, and Building No. 12 is where the family members who are not temporarily included in the brigade live.
When Xiao Zhou was changing gears, he asked, "Isn't it Building 12?"
Meng Hechuan put the photo into his trouser pocket and straightened his back in the car, "Don't go to Building 12, go to Building 1."
Since Bai Yan intended to conceal the fact that she had saved him, he couldn't let Teacher Wang meet her so soon.
What's more, he didn't want the fact that Bai Yan was the one who saved him to be exposed so quickly.
Ruan Xiaohui also has to stay in the team for the time being.
Meng Hechuan always felt that the incident of Bai Yan being kidnapped and Shao Jin's death was not that simple.
But now, I have extreme distrust towards Ruan Xiaohui.
No, it should be said that from the beginning to the end, he had no feelings for Ruan Xiaohui.
It was only because she was his savior that he was somewhat tolerant of her.
Once the sense of trust is broken, doubts that were originally deliberately ignored will pop up like mushrooms after a rain.
Ruan Xiaohui's appearance that day might not have been accidental, for the safety of the team's environment.
Also... for Bai Yan.
He wants to get to the bottom of it.
Meng Hechuan's hand fell on the outside of his trouser pocket, feeling the thin photo.
There was a hint of smile in his eyes, even without him noticing it.
Bai Yan was definitely the person who saved me in Baijia Village at that time.
As for why she didn't say it, I will definitely be able to find out.
More importantly, Bai Yan, now is the time to switch between offense and defense.
I already know your secret, now it's my turn.
