"Are you really Shen Yimo?" Yu Xiao looked at Shen Yimo beside him, blinking her big eyes and holding back her smile as she asked him.
Shen Yimo happily snapped his fingers, nodded and told Yu Xiao: "From now on, call me by my name! If you call me president, I will deduct one month's salary!"
"Ah? Do you have to be so cruel?" Yu Xiao quickly ran behind Uncle Ming, poked his head out, looked at him and asked.
"Hmm? You can try!" Shen Yimo raised his eyebrows.
"Uncle Ming, he asked me to call him by his name. If he wants to pursue me, you have to stand up for me!" Yu Xiao coquettishly took Uncle Ming's arm.
"Haha! Okay, Uncle Ming will make the decision for you!"
"Then I will really call your name!" Yu Xiao shouted at Shen Yimo.
Shen Yimo walked and smiled at her, with some expectation in his eyes. Since he met this little girl, she has never called his name. He deliberately waved his hand: "Forget it, I know you don't have the courage!"
"Tsk! Who said I didn't?" Yu Xiao was inspired by him and suddenly gained courage. He released his hand from covering his mouth and shouted to the mountain: "Shen Yimo! Shen Yimo! Shen Yimo!"
Shen Yimo listened to her shouting, and the corners of his lips curled up in satisfaction. He looked at Uncle Ming and curled his lips: "Uncle Ming, this girl probably thinks I am an enemy, shouting so harshly!" Shen Yimo frowned and looked at Yu Xiao interrogating: "Tell the truth, did I ask you to make coffee too many times? Well, you also work overtime a lot, you hate me, right?"
Yu Xiao puffed up his cheeks and thought seriously: "Well, Shen Yimo, I really hated you for a long time! I hate you to the bone!"
"Ah? Why?" Seeing her serious expression, Shen Yimo became nervous.
"Think about it, Uncle Ming has such a great place, but you didn't tell me. How can I not hate you?" Yu Xiao said as he ran away with a smile.
"Yu Xiao, stop right there! Don't let me catch up with you. If I catch up with you, you'll be dead today!" Shen Yimo rolled up his sleeves and chased after Yu Xiao.
"Ah! Help!" Yu Xiao ran away shouting and laughing.
Uncle Ming smiled as he watched the two people's backs slowly getting farther and farther away, with a rare happiness on his face. Once upon a time, he really looked forward to this scene, imagining his daughter Mingyao and Shen Yimo living happily together.
But everything disappeared with the sudden car accident!
The first time he saw Yu Xiao, he was shocked by the girl's appearance. It was not because she was beautiful, but because her face was very similar to his daughter Mingyao. For a moment, he almost stopped breathing!
As Yu Xiao went to the villa more and more often, his feelings for this girl grew deeper and deeper. He even imagined how great it would be if she was his own daughter!
But he knew very well that it was impossible! He and his wife only had one daughter, Mingyao, in their life!
When he received the call from Ren Zhiping, he was devastated. But he was a man in his 50s or 60s after all, and the death of his wife and daughter had made him calm in the face of everything. Although he could not remain calm every time he faced Yu Xiao.
When he heard that Yu Xiao was coming last night, he was so happy that he almost didn't sleep well all night. He got up early in the morning and cleaned up the house inside and out. When he saw Yu Xiao getting out of the car, he suddenly felt that nothing mattered anymore!
Uncle Ming looked at Shen Yimo and Yu Xiao who were getting farther and farther away, and couldn't help but look up at the sky in the distance.
Yaoyao, what should I do
Yu Xiao shouted as she ran up the mountain. Today she tied her hair into a ponytail, which swung as she ran, looking very cute. Her fluffy dress fluttered in the morning breeze, and her happy laughter was like a string of sweet silver bells, echoing throughout the valley, which was very pleasant to hear.
Shen Yimo followed her slowly, looking at Yu Xiao's back, and that familiar face flashed through his mind again.
Momo, come and chase me!
Momo, if you can’t catch up with me today, don’t even think about me marrying you!
Momo, let’s live here!
Momo, I love you so much!
silently…
When Yu Xiao ran to the middle of the mountain, he was so exhausted that he looked back at Shen Yimo who had caught up with him and sat down on the stone steps, panting and begging for mercy: "Shen Yimo, I really can't run anymore! I surrender!"
Shen Yimo smiled and sat down beside her. Hearing her calling his name so smoothly, he felt much better.
"You can surrender, but our agreement must still be carried out as usual!"
"Wh…what agreement? When did we make an agreement?"
"Didn't I tell you just now? If I catch up with you, you'll be dead today. Well, let me think about how to torture you." Shen Yimo held his chin and thought seriously.
"Hey, you're a man, okay? With your great physical strength, how can you not catch up with me? Do you have to be so petty?" Yu Xiao protested loudly, and stood up to continue running, but Shen Yimo grabbed her hand and pulled her back to the stairs.
"You've seen this before. It's not the first time or the second time that I've been petty. Just accept it!"
"Hmph! You're so narrow-minded! I despise you! Deeply! " Yu Xiao suppressed her smile and glared at him.
"Okay! Since you despise me anyway, then just despise me to the end! What do you think? Are you ready?" Shen Yimo asked with a grin.
"What are you preparing for? I didn't promise you!" She tilted her head and looked at him, not knowing what tricks he was going to play.
"Tell me, what happened last night?" In fact, he was not a gossipy man, but thinking about how she cried last night, he couldn't help but want to know the reason.
Yu Xiao's eyes darkened, and he replied with a twitch of his lips: "Nothing, I just want to vent!"
"Vent? Why do you want to vent? Don't you have a very good relationship with Captain Kang? Are you crying for no reason?" Shen Yimo looked at her half-jokingly.
"Well, crying for fun! Doesn't the book say that? Crying frequently can detoxify the body..." Unable to find a reason, Yu Xiao just made one up.
"Detoxification? Which unscrupulous expert said this? Tell me, I will ban his book!"
"Pfft! I heard that bragging is taxable now, so you'd better take it easy!" Yu Xiao teased him with a smile.
"Doesn't the book say that? Bragging can detoxify the body!" Shen Yimo repeated what she had just said.
Yu Xiao couldn't help laughing when she heard what he said. She stopped laughing and looked at him: "Shen Yimo, I used to think you were a very gentleman..."
"Isn't that a gentleman now?"
"No! I just realized that you can be so humorous!" Yu Xiao said while laughing. For the first time, she found that Shen Yimo, who used to be serious in front of her, also had such a lovely side. It seemed that his current appearance was the real Shen Yimo without disguise!
Without the halo of identity, status and money, I can be my true self!
And he has the charm that makes women fall for him!
Shen Yimo smiled as he listened to her words, and a deep sadness flashed in the depths of his eyes. In fact, she didn't know that he used to be more humorous than he is now. He once thought that he was too happy before the age of 28, so God was jealous and took away what originally belonged to him.
"Really? Looks like I've made progress!"
"Well, great progress! I hope Student Shen can keep it up!" Yu Xiao nodded like a teacher.
"Did Captain Kang bully you?" Shen Yimo turned his head to look at her and suddenly changed the subject.
Yu Xiao's face froze, then she waved her hands: "No! I always bully him, he never bullies me!" At the end, seeing Shen Yimo's puzzled look, she couldn't help but look away and look at the nature in front of her and added: "He is the best husband in my heart!"
Even if he broke her heart last night, she couldn't easily erase everything he had done for her!
She engraved every bit of his kindness in her mind...
"The best husband? That's a very high evaluation! Please give me some inside information so I can learn from it!" Shen Yimo's eyes flashed when he heard Yu Xiao's words, but he still maintained a sunny smile on his face.
"You are the kind of self-taught person! You don't need any training!" Yu Xiao teased him with a smile.
"He is a soldier. You are rarely together and apart. He can't even do something as ordinary as staying by his wife's side every day. Why do you still say he is the best husband?" Shen Yimo didn't respond to her. Instead, he thought about it and asked her seriously.
"Soldiers are human beings too! They train in the army in severe cold and heat, and sometimes they are sent to other places to perform missions. They put life and death aside for the happiness of more people. If all soldiers want to go home to be with their loved ones, then our country will be in crisis, right? I think soldiers should be understood and respected more. Besides, haven't you heard the saying? A short absence is better than a new marriage. Now, every week when I see him, I like him more than before! That feeling is something that ordinary couples can't understand!" I don't know if the title of military wife gave her an indescribable sense of honor, or if she was influenced by those military wives in the army. When Yu Xiao heard Shen Yimo questioning Kang Shaonan, she couldn't wait to defend him.
In fact, every time she lay quietly in bed in the dead of night, thinking about how others were happy in their own world of two, but she was alone, she would also have an impulse to regret. At that time, in addition to the reason of the two million, she married him more because she thought he was not bad, at least he looked very pleasing to the eye. So at that time, she never thought about what kind of life she would live in the future.
Later, she went to Kang Shaonan's army more and more often, and she understood more and more about the sacred profession of a soldier. She also had more understanding and support for Kang Shaonan. But she never said this to him face to face. (To be continued)
