"That's my business, you don't have to worry about it." Gong Ou said in a deep voice, holding Gong Kui and walking forward, pointing to the lanterns in front of him and saying, "Do you want more lanterns?"
"I want it!" Gong Kui clapped her hands.
"I bought all the lanterns on this street for you!"
"Dad, you are so handsome!"
Gong Kui clapped her hands excitedly.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stood there holding a lantern, looking at Gong Ou's back, and fell into deep thought.
In fact, it doesn't matter where she goes, what matters is... She hopes that in his heart, she will not be a burden to him.
Did he remember this
When one day she was no longer a burden to him, she felt relieved and believed that he was strong enough to deal with Lancaster.
The light of the high-hanging lanterns fascinated Shi Xiaonian's eyes, and the figure in front of him became farther and farther away.
…
It was a brand new day. Shi Xiaonian woke up in the car in a daze. She looked out and saw a road that was familiar but not very familiar to her.
Where is this
Shi Xiaonian sat on the comfortable sofa chair and stretched. She turned her eyes and found that she was in a high-end private car. The car was very long and had a lot of space. There were red wine and water on the shelf beside it.
"Master, you are awake."
Mr. Gong is sitting on the opposite side of the corridor. His silver body makes people feel at ease.
Shi Xiaonian nodded, looked around, and asked strangely, "Where is Gong Ou?"
Except for the driver, it seemed that she and Mr. Gong were the only two people in the car. Without Gong Ou, where were the others
"Mr. Gong is handling official business in another car. He is afraid of disturbing you."
Mr Gong replied.
"Oh." Shi Xiaonian nodded, turned to look out the window, and saw the Gong family's cars in front and behind. I still remember when they first went on their honeymoon, Gong Ou said that as long as the two of them have a world together, they don't want bodyguards, and they don't want anyone.
He was such a paranoid person, but now he changed himself so easily.
Shi Xiaonian sighed softly and asked, "Where are we going now?"
"Master, this is already in your hometown, but we haven't reached your original home yet."
Mr Gong said.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was startled. It turned out that she had arrived in her hometown. She still remembered that the last time she came here, she and Mu Qianchu came to see the flower fields.
Qianchu.
She hadn't thought of this name for a long time. After Shi Di's death, he left for a foreign country. She doesn't know what's going on now.
In fact, when she said she wanted to go back to her hometown, she wanted Gong Ou to see the place where she grew up. But when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was only sadness left here.
In the Shi family, she had been watching everyone's stories develop like an outsider, until she met Gong Ou, and she began to have her own story.
The car drove forward slowly, and the scenery on the roadside continued to recede. The shadows of the trees were cast on the car window, passing over her fair face, and the emotion in her eyes flickered brightly and darkly.
Considering that she was pregnant, the car stopped and walked along the way, leaving enough rest time for her.
The scenery outside became more and more familiar to her.
The street signs are becoming more and more familiar.
She knew that she was getting closer to her hometown.
At noon, the car stopped in front of her hometown community. Shi Xiaonian was helped out of the car by Mr. Gong, moved her body, raised her eyes and looked forward, with a subtle expression on her face.
It's a lot run down here.
It has also changed a lot compared to before. The walls here were not as high as they are now. The community seems to be larger. From a distance, the floors and villas inside appear to be old and new. It seems that there have been many more residents since then.
She has come back.
Things are no longer the same, and people are no longer the same.
Shi Xiaonian suddenly wanted to leave. She turned around and saw Gong Ou standing against a car. He was wearing a gray windbreaker, his legs were straight and slender, his arms were folded, and he was looking in her direction expressionlessly. , eyes cold.
It was Gong Ou who got her sleeping body into the car and took her away without saying a word, but now he didn't seem very happy, and he kept hiding in another car to handle his official business along the way.
It's really strange.
Shi Xiaonian walked towards him and smiled, "Have you finished all the official business?"
Gong Ou glanced down at her and responded noncommittally.
"how?"
Shi Xiaonian wanted to explore his eyes.
"What?"
Gong Ou snorted coldly.
Shi Xiaonian smiled and took his hand, "You have been acting weird along the way. What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Gong Ou frowned and soon relaxed, "You've come all the way, where are you going now? I've already had the dilapidated house of the Shi family cleaned, do you want to see it? "
Have you cleaned everything
Shi Xiaonian couldn't refuse his intention, so she nodded, hugged his arm and walked into the community.
In the security room of the community, an old man wearing reading glasses was reading a newspaper. He only raised his head for a moment and was stunned.
When had there ever been such a battle in this community? The people walking at the front seemed to be a young couple, followed by countless men in suits, which looked quite impressive at first glance.
Shi Xiaonian held Gong Ou's arm and walked inside, pointing inside and saying, "There weren't so many high-rise buildings here before, and there wasn't even a property office, let alone a community gate. Now it's all the same." It’s starting to look good.”
“…”
Gong Ou lowered his eyes and looked at her constantly moving lips. There was obviously a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, and a coldness appeared on his face.
Who should be remembered
Mu Qianchu
After so many years, the word "Mu Qianchu" is still a thorn in Gong Ou's nerves.
"Xiao Nian? Is it Xiao Nian?"
A confused elderly voice suddenly sounded behind them.
Gong Ou turned his head and saw the old man who had been in the security room just now standing behind them, pushing up his reading glasses and looking at them in surprise.
Shi Xiaonian was stunned there, and after careful identification for a while, he finally recognized, "Uncle He?"
"It's really Xiao Nian." Uncle He came over with surprise and surprise, looking her up and down happily, "I know you have a big future now, but you still don't dare to recognize it when you suddenly see it in person. Look. You are so cool now."
I must have been a teenager when I left home. Later, the Shi family could no longer see him.
"Uncle He, you are making fun of me." Shi Xiaonian said with a smile, then looked at the indifferent Gong Ou beside him and said, "Uncle He, this is my husband Gong Ou; Gong Ou, this is Uncle He, who has been with me for many years. My neighbor, I didn’t expect him to be working as a security guard here now.”
"What kind of security guard?" Uncle He smiled a little awkwardly, "I am looking for something to do at this age, and I can only look at the gate."
"The security here is good."
Gong Ou said coldly.
Uncle He pushed up his glasses and smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face relaxed, "Yes, yes, the security here is very good, but it's not my fault..."
Before he finished speaking, he was intercepted by Gong Ou, "I know that if public security is not good, just because you, an old man, can look at the gate, the whole community will be in danger."
“…”
Uncle He stood there, with a smile and wrinkles on his face at the same time.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou in surprise and secretly pushed him with her elbow. How could he talk? Why was he so incapable of chatting
"Why, isn't what I said the truth?"
Gong Ou lowered his eyes and looked at her confidently.
Shi Xiaonian looked embarrassed. She didn't know why Gong Ou proposed to accompany her for a walk in her hometown and was unhappy all the way. She ignored him, looked at Uncle He with a smile, and said, "Uncle He, are you still in good health?" How are you? Is Aunt He in good health? "
"Okay, everything is fine." Uncle He also smiled very awkwardly, and still chatted with Shi Xiaonian, "Where are your parents? I heard that they both went to S City to develop. Thanks to your daughter, they must be there. Enjoy your happiness."
“…”
Adoptive father, adoptive mother.
Mentioning these two people, Shi Xiaonian's eyes dimmed. If there was always a bit of family affection between her and her adoptive parents, the moment he knew that she was bought back by her adoptive parents, he didn't tell the truth when he swept her out of the house. At first, she was not only discouraged, but also desperate.
For so many years, she has been avoiding the whereabouts of her adoptive parents and has never looked for them.
She always thought that if her adoptive parents could tell her earlier and she found her biological parents earlier, she could stay with them longer and longer.
Rather than ending like this.
"Xiao Nian? Xiao Nian?"
Uncle He stood in front of her and waved his hand, looking at her in surprise.
Gong Ou also stared at her, and Shi Xiaonian forced a smile, "Uncle He, I just stopped by to take a look. I won't tell you anymore. I'll go home and take a look."
"Ah, okay, go ahead, go ahead."
Uncle He nodded and said.
Shi Xiaonian hugged Gong Ou and walked inside. Gong Ou stared at her. Shi Xiaonian looked at the scenery in the community. Every place was familiar and unfamiliar. The trees here had never been that high in my impression, and the flower fields here were It has never been repaired so well before, and the ground here has never been so smooth before.
Going further inside, there were several small villas behind each floor, which was what impressed Shi Xiaonian the most.
It was the first place she called "home" in her life.
Compared with several other renovated villas, this villa looks very old. The walls are yellow and the corners are covered with weeds. It looks like a place where no one has lived for many years.
Shi Xiaonian slowly took his hand out of Gong Ou's arm and walked forward step by step.
The door was rusty, and a large lock hung on it.
The deepest impression of this gate was that every time she came home from school, she would see Mu Qianchu standing at the gate from a distance. When she got closer, Mu Qianchu walked in unhurriedly, as if he was not He was deliberately waiting for her.
"boom."
Shi Xiaonian raised her hand and slowly pushed it open, pushing open the door of memory. Time traveled back in time, and various scenes came flooding back.
At that time, my adoptive mother liked to dry clothes there, and the clothesline was still hanging there.
Shi Di likes to bring her classmates to play at home, making the whole family happy. Mu Qianchu found it too noisy, so she took Mu Qianchu out for a walk.
But now, where are the adoptive father and adoptive mother
Where is the Flute of Time
Mu Qianchu, where is he again
After so many years, she returned here, but where were the people who had lived here? (To be continued)
