He just stood there stupidly, his tall figure looking a little lonely in the bustling crowd.
The winter sun shone on him, but it could not dispel the shock and confusion on his face.
He tilted his head slightly, his hand subconsciously stroking the cheek she had just kissed. His usually bottomless black eyes were now filled with disbelief.
Lin Jianxue looked at his stunned expression and couldn't help but burst out laughing, but her eyes felt a little hot.
Fu Zhewei seemed to finally react and ran towards her seat by the window.
"Lin Jianxue!"
He seemed to be calling her name.
But the train had already started moving, emitting a "woooo-woooo" whistle, followed by the "clang clang" sound of the wheels rubbing against the rails, which instantly drowned out his voice.
Lin Jianxue looked at Fu Zhawei's figure running towards her hurriedly outside the car window. His thin lips moved, as if he had something to say to her.
Lin Jianxue didn't dare to listen and suddenly covered her ears.
My heart was still beating very fast, so fast that it seemed like it was going to explode from my chest.
Nervous, scared, afraid of hearing rejection.
Impulsive.
She thought with frustration.
I have clearly decided to boil the frog in warm water, step by step, and take it slowly.
But as separation was imminent, she couldn't help but want to confess her love when she thought about being separated for so long and not being able to see him for more than two months.
Lin Jianxue, you may feel happy now that you have confessed your feelings, but when the winter vacation is over and you return to the countryside, what will you do if Fu Zhawei is unwilling to accept your words?
By then, you will still be living in his house, and you will see him everywhere you look. How embarrassing will that be?
Look at what stupid things you have done!
The villain in her heart grabbed her hair and kept blaming herself.
Lin Jianxue held his head and let out a long sigh.
Impulse is the devil!
The train clanked.
After three days and three nights, we finally stopped at Kyoto Railway Station.
The platform was packed with people and soothing music was playing on the radio.
Lin Jianxue immediately spotted her parents who were eagerly waiting in the crowd.
Her mother, Shen Wu, was holding a child in her arms, who was her younger brother, Xiaohu.
Father Lin Yuefeng stood beside his mother, searching eagerly among the crowd getting off the bus.
When Lin Jianxue saw the mother holding Xiaohu and the father standing beside her, her eyes suddenly turned red.
She ran over quickly, carrying a small suitcase.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
When Chen Wu and Lin Yuefeng saw their daughter, they immediately showed happy smiles on their faces.
"Hey, Xiaoxue is back!"
The family hugged each other tightly.
Lin Yuefeng looked at his daughter carefully, his brows slightly furrowed, and his eyes reddened: "You've become darker and thinner! You must have suffered a lot in the countryside!"
Chen Wu also touched his daughter's cheek with heartache: "She has lost a lot of weight. Her little face has become pointed."
"Xiaohu, this is your sister." Chen Wu moved the little guy in his arms closer to Lin Jianxue and said softly.
Xiaohu is still a little baby, wrapped in a thick swaddling cloth, with only his pink little face showing.
He opened his big black eyes and looked at Lin Jianxue curiously, his little mouth opening and closing, babbling bubbles, and suddenly he opened his toothless mouth and showed Lin Jianxue a cute smile.
Lin Jianxue's heart suddenly fluttered.
"Xiaohu is so good." She stretched out her finger and gently touched Xiaohu's cheek.
The family slowly left the train station along with the surging crowd.
The car Lin Yuefeng drove was the jeep provided by the factory.
Lin Jianxue and her mother sat in the back seat holding Xiaohu.
The car drove smoothly on the wide roads of Kyoto.
Sitting in the warm car, the family talked and laughed.
Lin Jianxue picked up interesting things that happened to her when she was a teacher in the Shuguang Production Brigade and the school and told them to her parents, such as how smart and studious Fu Qingqing was, and how naughty and cute the children in the class were.
The car continued to drive smoothly.
Lin Yuefeng listened to his daughter talk about her life in the countryside, especially how she guided Fu Qingqing in her studies and how she dealt with the naughty children in the classroom. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
There was a subtle hint of pride in his tone: "Our Xiaoxue has grown up and can stand on her own. She went to the countryside to be a teacher, not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and she's doing so well. Dad is proud of you."
Chen Wu also smiled and nodded, his eyes full of relief, but he still felt distressed.
The jeep quickly drove into the familiar family compound and stopped downstairs of his own building.
Returning to the warm and bright home, Lin Jianxue's nerves, which had been tense for several days, were completely relaxed by the familiarity of everything.
She opened the suitcase she brought with her and took out things one by one.
"Dad, Mom, these are specialties from Heilongjiang Province: wood ear mushrooms, mushrooms, and some mountain products."
She placed the packages of food carefully wrapped in oil paper on the table.
Finally, she took out a package wrapped in layers of oil paper with a clean cloth and opened it, revealing the bright red bacon inside that exuded a unique smoky aroma.
"This is... Aunt Dong's pickled bacon. She asked me to bring it back for you to try."
Dong Yulan's cooking skills are indeed good. You can tell at a glance that the bacon is marinated to perfection.
Chen Wu picked up a piece of bacon, sniffed it, and praised: "This is really good craftsmanship, it looks delicious. By the way," she changed the subject and asked casually, "How is that kid Fu Zhewei doing recently?"
Lin Jianxue was packing her suitcase when she paused slightly.
She raised her head and replied nonchalantly, "Not bad, very good. What's wrong, Mom?"
Chen Wu and Lin Yuefeng looked at each other, both with a meaningful smile on their faces.
Chen Wu said, "Your father's factory recently distributed a lot of winter clothes, such as cotton-padded jackets and trousers. I think Fu Zhawei's child has a similar body shape to your father. If you think he's suitable, you can bring some to him when you return home."
Lin Jianxue's heart skipped a beat as she heard a subtle hint of meaning.
She turned her head and looked at Chen Wu and Lin Yuefeng. She always felt that the two of them looked like they were smiling but not smiling, and there must be something fishy going on.
She continued to maintain a calm appearance and tested him, "Isn't this a bad idea? These are Dad's clothes, how can you just bring them to him and let him wear them?"
She pretended to be calm, not wanting them to notice anything.
Chen Wu finally couldn't help himself and burst out laughing.
"What's wrong?" She smiled, "You've taken such good care of their family. As their parents, shouldn't we show some appreciation?"
Lin Jianxue's head buzzed with excitement, her cheeks instantly burning, and the blush quickly spread to her ears.
"Dad, Mom, how did you find out?"
Her voice was trembling, and she felt shy and embarrassed.
The most outrageous thing is that her parents, who were thousands of miles away in Kyoto, didn't even notice that she had fallen in love with Fu Zhewei!
But how come that wooden guy Fu Zhewei, who was so close to him, didn't know anything about it?
Chen Wu looked at his daughter's blushing face and smiled even more broadly. "What's so strange about this? You send telegrams home every week. Which telegram would not include the three words 'Fu Zhewei'?"
She stretched out her finger and tapped Lin Jianxue's forehead: "Even if your father and I are slow-witted, we can see that our Xiaoxue has someone in her heart."
So...is it so obvious?
Lin Jianxue didn't know what to say for a moment, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
She thought she had hidden it well, but she didn't expect that it was completely obvious in the eyes of her parents.
Lin Yuefeng looked at his daughter's embarrassed look, restrained his smile, sighed softly, and his tone became a little heavy.
"The Fu family is truly pitiful. They were such a good family, but because of those groundless rumors, they suffered such an unprovoked disaster."
He paused, then continued, "However, I heard that the higher-ups have recently restarted the investigation into those wrongful convictions. Many families whose entire families were previously sent down to the countryside have been rehabilitated and returned to the city. I wonder when it will be the Fu family's turn."
Hearing his father's words, Lin Jianxue's heart sank slightly.
Regarding the Fu family's demotion, everyone in the capital who knew the inside story understood that they were being wronged.
Fu Jianguo, a university professor, was an upright and dedicated person, but he was accused of a false crime and fell from the top to the bottom of the mud overnight.
At that time, when the situation was at its peak and everyone was in danger, who would dare to stand up and speak up for them?
