Chapter 423: Mixed Mood
Although there is a big age gap between the two, Xia is young and pretty, and there is actually not much difference between twenty-one or twenty-two and eighteen or nineteen. Song Zhili is tall and does not look like he is sixteen or seventeen.
After Song Zhili was sure that Xia Qingqing had special feelings for him, he quickly fell.
Xia Qingqing's existence gave him great motivation. After all, his sweetheart was beautiful and had good conditions. If the gap between them was too big, it would indeed make people feel inferior.
Song Zhili was not in a hurry to confess his feelings, but wanted to perform well and gain some merit first.
But one day, he accidentally overheard his comrades discussing the fact that Xia Qingqing had a fiancé.
Song Zhili's first reaction was disbelief, thinking it must be a rumor.
But he was pretending in his heart. After all, young people are hot-tempered and can't suppress things in their hearts. He was always afraid that this thing was true. After enduring for a few days, he finally couldn't help it and ran to confess to Xia Qingqing.
Song Zhili was shy and introverted at that time. Although he liked Xia Qingqing in his heart, he just encouraged himself in his heart, thinking about making a name for himself first so that he could be worthy of his sweetheart. He would not usually take the initiative to look for Xia Qingqing. This was the first time.
Xia Qingqing thought something had happened to the child and hurried downstairs.
Song Zhili was standing downstairs of Xia Qingqing's dormitory, watching his sweetheart slowly walk down from the stairs.
He was usually very shy, and in fact he didn't dare to stare at Xia Qingqing's face, nor did he dare to look Xia Qingqing in the eye.
This was the first time he looked at Xia Qingqing so seriously.
Xia Qingqing had a calm and gentle look, and her eyes showed concern and doubt, but that was all.
Song Zhili's hands hanging at his sides clenched involuntarily.
Xia Qingqing asked him in a gentle voice: "Comrade Song, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Song Zhili suddenly didn't want to say anything when the words were on his lips. He felt like he knew the answer.
He thought about it, what if, what if the truth was not as he thought?
Song Zhili mustered up his courage, looked into Xia Qingqing's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Xia, Comrade Xia, I, I..."
In the end, he didn't say anything.
Xia Qingqing has no idea how many people have confessed to her since she was a child. Don't think that in that era, if you liked someone, you would be reserved and secretly love them for the rest of your life. It's simply impossible.
She has been beautiful since she was a child and there is no such thing as growing up. As far as she can remember, little boys would run up to her and say, "When she grows up, they will marry her and have children with her."
But as I get older, the content of my confession becomes more subtle.
Seeing Song Zhili like this, Xia Qingqing knew what he wanted to say. She didn't wait for Song Zhili to finish, but looked into his eyes and said firmly: "Comrade Song, I am engaged and have a fiancé."
Song Zhili's first love died before it even blossomed. This was a huge blow to him. He didn't even know how he got back to the dormitory, and he was very sad for a while.
But no matter how sad he was, he was not a confused person. Since the other party was already engaged, this matter was naturally impossible. It would be better to pretend that nothing had happened and save face for both of them.
Because Song Zhili deliberately avoided them, they hadn't met for a long time.
Until the old man of the Song family’s birthday.
Among the Song family, only Old Man Song was slightly more friendly to him.
After all, to put it bluntly, he and Old Lady Song have no blood relationship.
As for Song Yong and Ma Chun, they have their own sons and they can't even take care of their own sons, so why would they care whether he lives or dies.
Song Yong was better off, after all, Song Zhili was his nephew after all. To Ma Chun, he was just an outsider who took advantage of his status as his son. He got so angry when he saw him that it was considered good that he didn't find fault with him on weekdays.
Old Man Song’s family is not very prosperous, but the older he gets, the more he realizes the importance of his grandchildren, and he can’t help but feel some love for them.
The only grandpa who still had some affection for him was celebrating his birthday and asked him to go back for dinner, so of course he would go.
Then I met Xia Qingqing who came to give me gifts.
Xia Qingqing didn't have any thoughts about Song Zhili at that time. After learning about his identity, she just felt a little surprised. After finishing her meal and going back, she put the matter out of her mind.
Later, Song Zhili's biological father's comrade-in-arms was transferred to their military region. After learning of Song Zhili's identity, he transferred Song Zhili from the combat camp to his own office in order to take care of his comrade-in-arms and his relatives.
Because of work, I run into Xia Qingqing every few days.
This poor child, it was originally just unrequited love, and since he couldn't see the person, he just suppressed his feelings.
Now, the meat is hung right in front of people, but they are not allowed to eat it.
Xia Qingqing knew what he was thinking. She was not the kind of person who would put personal interests above public ones, but she didn't want to give others too many illusions, so she could only be cold to Song Zhili.
If nothing else had happened and Xia Qingqing had successfully married Song Zhijie, this would have been a simple story of a brother-in-law having a crush on his sister-in-law. Perhaps after many years, when Song Zhili had matured, he would have just lamented in his heart that he had once been unrequited love.
But who could have imagined that the Song family would later carry out a series of outrageous operations, first the exchange of marriages, then the cancellation of the engagement, and then the exposure of Song Zhili's background.
In the midst of all this trouble, everyone quarreled and cursed, but everyone got what they wanted.
The Song family successfully escaped from Xia Zhizhi's clutches, and the elders no longer had to worry about being beaten three times a day by their new daughter-in-law, or starving to death on the streets when they got old.
They were very satisfied that their sons didn't have to marry a female demon and bring her home to serve them as their ancestors.
The Xia family successfully severed ties with that bunch of confused people in the Song family and no longer had to become in-laws with them. Xia Qingqing didn't have to marry Song Zhijie, whom she hated, and Xia Zhizhi also had a great time.
The Xia family was also satisfied.
It seemed like everyone was happy, but the people from the Xia and Song families ignored the feelings of one person.
Song Zhili is Wang Fang's real grandson.
The Song family only wanted to cancel the engagement and get rid of the relationship. Although they revealed Song Zhijie's true identity, they did not think about talking to Song Zhili about this matter seriously.
The Xia family thought that the Song family had already told Song Zhili about this.
So, in the end, Song Zhili learned about this from his own leader.
It's a coincidence.
Song Zhili's leader is the father of Xia Zhuoyue's (the third son of the Xia family) childhood friend. Xia Zhuoyue was very happy because the broken engagement was successful and told his childhood friend about it.
This story is more exciting than the movie. After returning home, the childhood friend told his father about it.
His father originally thought that Song Zhili was the nephew of his deceased good comrade-in-arms, so he took extra care of Song Zhili. But after many twists and turns, he discovered that the child was actually the biological son of his comrade-in-arms.
How do I describe this feeling?
It's like when one's own son is lost, one adopts a girl to ease the longing, and when the girl grows up, she falls in love and brings home a boyfriend, who turns out to be one's own son.
Leadership: Happy, exciting, and complicated.
