"Yeah, President Shen always speaks in a set way!" Ming Yao nodded. It was undeniable that Shen Yimo's words really touched her heart.
"Okay, the ideological work is done. Is Grandma Wolf going to eat Little Red Riding Hood now?" Shen Yimo smiled and rubbed his wife's face, then lowered his head and kissed his wife's lips.
When their lips touched, Mingyao's heart trembled slightly, but the next second, she stretched out her arms to wrap around Shen Yimo's neck and imitated him to kiss back. The ambiguous atmosphere instantly spread in the room. Mingyao felt Shen Yimo's passion with her heart, and at the moment when she felt that he wanted her body, her body suddenly lightened, and he quickly withdrew from her body. Mingyao's heart sank slightly, and something fell quietly in the bright starry sky. She had held back several times before, but this time, she didn't want to hold back anymore.
"Why don't you let me give you a child?" Is it because he doesn't like it? Or does he think he is a blind person after all
He whispered in her ear, "We are not suitable to have children now. Wait until I cure your eyes!" He finally saw her again, and he didn't want her to have any accidents again.
“What if it can’t be cured?”
"That's impossible!" He firmly believed that with current medical technology, it was entirely possible for her eyes to recover. Before that, he didn't want to joke with her safety.
"But what if?"
"As long as you believe me, nothing will happen!"
After breakfast the next day, Kang Shaonan took Yu Xiao to the cemetery in the city. Yu Xiao had been to this place before. At that time, she knew nothing about what happened seven years ago, and she was only a little familiar with the name Zhuang Junyuan. The moment Fu Zihao kidnapped her and told her the truth seven years ago, all the past events kept boiling in her mind. Scene by scene, from chaotic to more and more organized, in the following week, she slowly sorted out all the clues. She finally knew that the neighbor brother who had protected her since she was a child was Kang Shaonan's comrade-in-arms... Zhuang Junyuan.
It was early autumn now, and the pine trees in the cemetery were still lush and green, swaying in the autumn wind. Yu Xiao followed Kang Shaonan, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, and walked towards Zhuang Junyuan's grave step by step.
In less than a few minutes, she was standing in front of Zhuang Junyuan's tombstone. Looking at the familiar face, Yu Xiao walked over gently and placed the flower in her hand in front of the tombstone.
"Brother Junyuan, I'm here to see you!" The moment her lips opened, Yu Xiao's tears began to fall. Things in this world are unpredictable. After parting seven years ago, she didn't expect to meet again, but now they are separated by death and everything has changed.
"Junyuan, Xiaoxiao has remembered everything, including you! I know you have always been concerned about her. You don't have to worry about her anymore. I will stay with Xiaoxiao for the rest of my life..." Kang Shaonan held his wife's hand tightly and looked at his comrade-in-arms' tombstone with a serious face.
"Shaonan, how did Brother Junyuan die?"
Kang Shaonan was silent for a moment, frowning slightly, and after a long while he answered in a muffled voice: "Junyuan died five years ago. At that time, he and I went to the border to perform a dangerous mission. The operation involved our country's military secrets. An important thing was sold to a neighboring country at a high price. The transaction location was on the border. The transaction location was originally under our control, but we didn't expect that the enemy was determined to get that thing and sent a large number of elite troops. We had few people and were ambushed by them in the primeval forest. We were surrounded by enemies on three sides. At that time, I was not the head of the regiment, but like Junyuan, I was selected from the special brigade. During the retreat, Junyuan was unfortunately shot in the abdomen. Another comrade and I wanted to evacuate with him, but Junyuan refused to leave. He said that he could not become a burden to us, and we could not be wiped out because of him alone..." Kang Shaonan paused, his voice a little hoarse.
Knowing that he was feeling bad, Yu Xiao shook Kang Shaonan's hand but said nothing.
"Before he left, he told me that there was only one thing he couldn't let go of, and that was you. He told me to find you no matter what I did in this life..."
"Brother Junyuan..." Kang Shaonan's words made Yu Xiao's tears burst out again.
"Now... he can finally rest in peace!"
The two stayed in the cemetery for nearly an hour before Kang Shaonan saluted and left with Yu Xiao. The two walked down the mountain and got into the car. Yu Xiao looked back at the road up the mountain, with a touch of sadness in his eyes.
"Kang Shaonan, did you get that important thing back on that mission?"
"No!" Kang Shaonan answered calmly while looking at the road ahead.
"Why? Wouldn't that cause great losses to our country?"
"Because the spy stole it and we switched it."
"Then why do you still want to carry out the mission? Aren't you just sending yourself to die in vain?"
"Because someone in our group has been bribed by the enemy at a high price, the reason why we have to carry out the mission as originally planned is to find out who the traitor is. If he is not eliminated one day, our country will suffer greater losses."
"Has that person been found?"
“Found it!”
"So what happened to him?"
"Executed by the enemy's military!"
Both of them fell silent. Kang Shaonan slowly started the car and drove towards W City where Yu Xiao was born.
W City is nearly three hours away from T City. This is the first time Yu Xiao has returned to his hometown since he recovered his memory. Three hours later, the off-road vehicle got off the highway and slowly drove into the urban area of W City. According to Yu Xiao's memory, Kang Shaonan still drove the car to Yu Xiao's hometown smoothly. But after getting off the car, he found that this place had already become a new building rising from the ground, and even the surrounding roads had been widened a lot. Except for the familiar road name on the road sign, Yu Xiao could not find any familiar memory.
In seven years, everything here has changed!
Kang Shaonan drove her around every corner of the neighborhood, but Yu Xiao still couldn't find any familiar neighbors or friends. After returning here seven years later, she seemed to have become an outsider.
After lunch, Kang Shaonan accompanied Yu Xiao for another walk, but still no results. The two found a nearby hotel to stay in. Yu Xiao spent the whole night asking about the whereabouts of the neighbors who had moved away, but everyone was powerless. After all, this place is not like the countryside. Once the house is demolished, all the people will disappear. Some people still bought houses here with the demolition compensation, but some took the money to buy houses elsewhere. Even if you want to find those who stayed, it will take some effort.
After staying for one night, Yu Xiao took Kang Shaonan to search for the whole morning the next day, but still found nothing. Yu Xiao finally gave up the idea of continuing to search, after all, she still had her father to take care of in T City, and she couldn't stay here forever. After lunch, Kang Shaonan drove Yu Xiao away from W City.
It was already past five in the afternoon when they returned to T City. Yu Xiao asked Kang Shaonan to take her to the hospital to see her father first. When standing at the door of the ward, Yu Xiao heard a familiar voice coming from inside. She turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Kang Shaonan.
"Are you prepared to never meet them again for the rest of your life? No matter what mistakes they have made, at least one thing is certain: they are the ones who raised you. Think carefully, have they abused you over the years? They already know they were wrong, but no one can guarantee that they have never made a mistake in their lifetime! Besides, from their point of view, your father didn't know you existed, and they could have kept your life story a secret for their entire lives, but they ultimately couldn't get over this hurdle of conscience, don't you think? "Kang Shaonan knew that his wife was still angry with her adoptive parents, so he tried to persuade her slowly.
“…” Yu Xiao turned his head away silently without saying anything.
While the two were talking, the door of the ward suddenly opened. Ren Zhiping and Yu Jiahou walked out of the ward and saw Yu Xiaoshi with a look of guilt and uneasiness on his face.
"Xiaoxiao..." Ren Zhiping looked at her daughter a little nervously.
Yu Xiao immediately turned his head to the other side and remained silent without saying a word.
Kang Shaonan immediately tried to smooth things over: "Mom, she was a little tired from the car ride today, so she didn't want to talk..."
Yu Jiahou on the side sighed in self-blame, looked at his daughter and said, "Xiaoxiao, we know that you have a lot of complaints against us. Your mother entrusted you to us before she died. Although Zhiping was indeed infertile at that time, there was another more important reason why we kept you. That was that your mother gave us a sum of money before she died. Our life was particularly difficult at that time. That money could get us out of the misery, so your mother and I couldn't help but be tempted. In fact, if it weren't for your mother's money, I wouldn't be able to set up any company, let alone live a wealthy life. But not long ago, the company was schemed to close down, and now I finally know why. Some things are not yours, and you try every means to keep them but in the end it's all in vain. I came to the hospital to see your father today just to say goodbye. Now that you have found your biological father, we are relieved. Your mother and I will go back to our hometown tomorrow, and in the future... take care of yourself..." After Yu Jiahou finished speaking, he took a deep look at his daughter and left first.
"Xiaoxiao..." Ren Zhiping looked at her husband who was walking away, still looking at her adopted daughter reluctantly. She had never given birth to a child, but over the years, she really treated Yu Xiao as her own biological daughter.
Yu Xiao kept looking out the window at the corridor in silence until her adoptive mother Ren Zhiping's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor. Then she turned around silently, opened the door of the ward and walked in.
Although Uncle Ming was not at the door, he still heard some of what Ren Zhiping and Yu Jiahou said. Seeing his daughter walk in gloomily, he motioned for her to sit down beside the bed.
"Dad, how are you?"
Ming Yusong looked at his daughter and smiled kindly: "Dad is fine. He can be discharged from the hospital after a few more days of rest." (To be continued)
