How much she had wanted to hear the news, how much she had wanted to find out Aqiang's whereabouts in the two years after he ran away.
But after eight years apart, many strong feelings have become blurred, and she has almost forgotten even Aqiang's appearance.
At this moment, hearing the news that she had longed for so much, she was left at a loss.
"Is... is he okay?" she asked breathlessly, suddenly afraid of hearing the bad news that she couldn't bear.
"I heard he was doing well." Cheng Zimu replied.
"How did you find him?" she asked softly with a small sigh of relief.
"Do you remember? Grandpa received a 10 million remittance order from the south of the city three years ago. Although the sender could not be found, grandpa believed that it was from Aqiang. He said that Aqiang had been with He borrowed a million and promised to pay it back tenfold later.
So, I sent people to look for him in the south of the city, but without any results, I gave up later. This time your third brother went to a hot spring hotel in the south of the city for vacation and happened to meet him. It can be seen that people’s calculations are not as good as God’s calculations, and what should appear will always appear. "Cheng Zimu said with emotion.
"He's in the south of the city?" It turned out that he was in the south of the city, maybe he was near her.
Subconsciously looking down at the crowds of people coming and going downstairs, they were full of unfamiliar faces sprinkled with sunshine and water, but none of them were the familiar faces.
Could it be that by the time she saw him again, he would have become as strange as the people downstairs
"Well, grandpa has always hoped to find him. I have to fly abroad tomorrow for business and will come back in half a month. I will look for him then." Cheng Zimu hesitated and said, "Yinyin, what happened that year , you were still young at that time, I hope you no longer take it to heart now."
What happened back then has never been explained clearly. Although Xiyin tried hard to defend herself, her mother insisted that it was Shuqiang who offended her by bullying her because she was young and ignorant.
He was not in Ancheng at the time and didn't know the reason, but after learning the news about Shu Qiang, he told his sister immediately, hoping that she wouldn't be too shocked.
"It's really nothing. Mom really misunderstood that time." She said again.
"That's good."
After hanging up the phone from her elder brother, Xiyin's mind went blank for a long time.
The sudden news made her feel unbelievable.
The person who had disappeared for eight years suddenly appeared like this. The news was like clouds hanging in the sky, so light that there was no sense of reality.
She was stunned for a long time, and then she woke up from her daze, as if waking from a dream: her heart was bit by bit knocked open and filled with joy, and along with it came an inexplicable sourness.
Yes, she had worried about him for so many years. She was so happy to hear news from him again, knowing that he was still alive and well in this world. Her heart, which had been hanging for so long, could finally return to the ground.
She threw herself into the soft mattress and buried her face in the white pillow. She couldn't help but burst out laughing with joy in her heart.
Aqiang Aqiang... the long-lost name, she whispered in her heart over and over again.
How is he doing now? What will it look like? Does he remember her? Or has she been forgotten
She is no longer the same person she was eight years ago, who liked to hide quietly behind the curtains and watch him take a morning swim, chat and laugh with him across the terrace in the middle of the night, play the violin for him under the moon, and be confused when he was drunk. He gave his first kiss to his girl.
She has grown up completely, has her own world, and has a boyfriend who loves her very much, and they will be engaged in half a month.
And could he also have a girl he likes and have forgotten about her
So he disappeared for so many years, so he wouldn't come back to see her even once
But at the same time as I was worried: there was also a desire in my heart, and I couldn't stop it no matter what.
She longed to see him again. She couldn't imagine what that young and stubborn boy would look like.
The feeling of longing filled her whole body, she really really wanted to see him again.
Cheng Xiyin spent the next half day absentmindedly. Even during the performance, she seemed a little distracted.
There are two forces pulling in my heart, and a voice says - go to him, go to him! He is nearby.
Another voice objected, don’t go! Ningxi is waiting for you to return in Ancheng.
But what conflict will there be between him and Ningxi? She was just visiting a playmate she had grown up with, nothing special. She tried to convince herself.
After lunch, the band members were waiting in the hotel lobby for the motorcade that would take them back to Anseong.
The band leader came over and asked her: "Xiyin, what's wrong with you today? You seem to be absent-minded?"
Xiyin felt a little embarrassed and forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, I didn't sleep well last night."
"Yes, me too! What kind of five-star hotel is this? It's so noisy with people coming and going downstairs at night! I won't book this next time." After complaining, the leader saw the band's car coming and said: " Get in the car and go back to Ancheng."
Xiyin stared at the row of returning cars outside the hall, unable to move.
She knew it was inappropriate, but in the end, she couldn't resist the strong desire in her heart and called Cheng Zimu.
