1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 265 Mother-in-law: Are you very proud?

Special care unit.

The door was open, and the quiet corridor outside was empty, with only the wind blowing.

On the hospital bed, Cheng Kaiyan lay quietly resting.

Summer afternoons are always so peaceful.

I could hear the chirping of cicadas in the woods in the distance.

The cool mountain breeze, carrying the smell of grass, rushed into the ward and blew away the sick air in the room.

The wind blew Cheng Kaiyan's soft black hair all over the place, hitting her face and eyes.

But he was too lazy to pay attention to it, he just immersed himself in it silently.

"Hehe... come chase me~"

"Don't run, don't run so fast, I can't catch up~"

The sounds of a few children laughing and playing could be faintly heard downstairs.

Although the young voice was a little shrill, it added a lot of vitality and vigor to this hospital shrouded in the separation of life and death.

'These children are probably the children of some patients or doctors. When the adults are treating or working, the children can always find friends quickly, and then quickly forget about them after the adults are discharged from the hospital. Later, many years later, some memories emerge in the afternoon after waking up from a nap.'

Illness, hospital, children, the countryside, adventure…

Some scattered fragments of memory flashed through Cheng Kaiyan's mind. It seemed like there was a movie called My Neighbor Totoro?

Thoughts in mind.

It's like ripples on the surface of a lake, rising, spreading, and then disappearing.

These experiences, which are very common in daily life, make him feel particularly relaxed and calm.

After experiencing the cruel and bloody war, Cheng Kaiyan finally realized that a simple and ordinary life is true happiness.

“Perhaps I should seriously implement this idea in my works. This is probably why, after the 1980s, literary and artistic works about peaceful military camps in military works have attracted so much attention and love from literary and artistic workers and soldiers in the army.

Precisely because beneath the surface of the peaceful military camp in the work, there is a deeper background, which is war.

Under this strong contrast, people in war can better appreciate the beauty of life, as well as the cruelty and ugliness of war.

Those beautiful things that should have appeared in life were swallowed up by war one by one, which made them feel even more regretful and heartbroken. This is the true meaning of military works with peaceful military camps as the background. "

Cheng Kaiyan thought calmly.

He suddenly realized that perhaps this realization was the real "gold" of his journey.

"hehe."

Thinking of this, Cheng Kaiyan chuckled and felt that the pain in her back seemed to have eased a lot.

He turned his head and looked to his side.

The girl in a white dress was leaning against the head of the bed, reading a manuscript.

The scattered manuscript papers beside me lay on the bed sheet with the hospital name printed on it, and sometimes a corner of it was lifted up by the wind, making a rustling sound.

Cheng Kaiyan watched quietly for a while, thinking: 'Even if she is lazily leaning on the headboard, she looks so elegant.'

The thought flashed through his mind in an instant, and he turned to look down.

The bed sheet was wrinkled by the girl's crossed thighs. The soft hem of her dress blocked most of the light, but still revealed some of the white absolute area.

The thighs are pressed together, with the plump and soft leg meat overflowing, with a thrilling elasticity.

Under the bright light from the window, her skin, as white as jade, is glowing with a translucent halo, which is very artistic in beauty.

It attracts light and also draws the gaze together.

Perhaps he was so engrossed in watching that he caught Liu Xiaoli's attention.

"What? Are the kids too noisy?"

The girl leaning against the bedside flipping through a book asked without raising her head. Her voice was as clear as water passing over pebbles, but her tone was very flat.

"It's not noisy, on the contrary, it's very touching. Besides, isn't it normal for children to make noises? Don't you like children?"

Seeing that she did not try to stop him, Cheng Kaiyan simply began to admire her openly.

"do not like."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head slightly.

When Cheng Kaiyan heard this, she was a little surprised. She didn't expect that she didn't like children.

Then he said with a rather regretful look: "I still like it better. What if you don't like it?"

"How can it affect you if I don't like it?"

Liu Xiaoli replied indifferently.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized what Cheng Kaiyan meant.

Feeling ashamed and annoyed.

The girl turned her back and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Cheng Kaiyan was not discouraged. She continued to ask with a smile, "Xiao Li, just at noon, I heard a strange voice and saw you two together. It was a lesbian. Who was this person?"

Lesbian?
Liu Xiaoli subconsciously became nervous and thought about it quickly.

Several faces flashed through my mind.

Oh, he means mom, right?
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli sneered in her heart.

If it was before, she might have helped Cheng Kaiyan to speak a few good words in front of her mother, but now...

Liu Xiaoli just wanted to watch the show.

So he chuckled and said, "Guess?"

"How can I guess? I just woke up, how can I know who this is."

"It's useless if I can't even guess it!"

Liu Xiaoli curled her lips to express her dissatisfaction.

"..."

Cheng Kaiyan was a little speechless, so what exactly happened during this period of time?
This girl has such a bad temper?
"hehe!"

Liu Xiaoli chuckled, gathered the manuscripts in her hand and put them under her pillow.

Then she moved to sit on the bed, with her legs hanging down. She bent down to put on her shoes and said calmly, "Since you want to see her so much, I'll go call her over now."

"Hey hey!"

"I just asked casually, you really..."

Cheng Kaiyan realized that this was not a good thing and hurriedly tried to stop her.

As a result, the girl took two steps at a time and ran away with her black ponytail bouncing lively behind her head.

"What the hell is this!"

……

……

The ward next door.

Jiang Wan and Jiang Ting had just woken up and were lying on the bed chatting and sharing their sisterly feelings.

"I feel more at ease with you looking after them. You have a cold personality and a cold temper. They dare not act rashly in front of you.

Besides, you were right not to let Xiaoli rent a house before.

From what I've observed these past few days, Xiaoli is too pampered to Cheng Kaiyan. If she were to move out, wouldn't this girl be taken advantage of?
If I hadn't known about this and rushed to BJ to scold her, she might have become a grandmother by the end of the year!"

Jiang Wan snorted in annoyance. She was terrified just thinking about it. Who would have thought that her usually well-behaved and sensible daughter could be so courageous!
Such a big thing, he decided it on his own without saying a word.

But things have come to this point and cannot be reversed. Jiang Wan now just wants her to study hard in BJ and not have anything go wrong in the process.

Especially between him and that kid Cheng Kaiyan.

She had nothing to do these days and had been observing her daughter.

Although I gave my daughter some serious advice before she came, she did reflect on herself.

But after watching it these past few days...the effect can only be said to be average.

Jiang Wan shook her head, thinking that she should talk to Cheng Kaiyan and teach this boy a lesson.

Let the kid know that it’s not enough to just pass Liu Xiaoli.

But this is Jiang Wan...haha!
"..."

Jiang Ting, who was lying flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, felt a little guilty when she heard this.

When it comes to indulgence, it seems that she is not much better than Liu Xiaoli.

Jiang Ting nodded and said calmly, "Don't worry, I will pay attention."

"I feel relieved with your words. This kid will work under you, so you should train him well."

Jiang Wan's expression relaxed a little and she nodded.

Suddenly, there were footsteps outside the door.

Then the door latch popped open.

"Who?"

"it's me."

Liu Xiaoli pushed the door open and appeared in front of the two of them.

"What's wrong? Are you bored and come here alone?" Jiang Wan asked calmly, looking at his daughter's face, paying special attention to whether her eyes were red or swollen.

Just at one or two o'clock, she vaguely heard her daughter's voice losing control of her emotions, as if she had quarreled with Cheng Kaiyan.

But it lasted only a short time, probably less than a minute.

She didn't dare to ask.

"That's not the case. Cheng Kaiyan said she wanted to meet you."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head and explained as if nothing had happened.

"You want to see me? Haha, it's really what you want."

Jiang Wan was a little surprised, thinking that Cheng Kaiyan still had some sense of responsibility and knew that she was here, and did not hide away like a turtle.

"Then I'll go meet this kid. Is he in an okay mental state now?"

Jiang Wan said as she stood up.

Cheng Kaiyan had just woken up. If he wasn't in good condition, Jiang Wan wouldn't be able to talk to him directly.

After all, those words were not pleasant to hear. If they aggravated his condition, that would be bad.

"no problem."

Liu Xiaoli nodded. Just as she was about to turn around, her mother stopped her.

"Wait! I can go alone, you stay here with your aunt."

Jiang Wan walked up to her, patted Liu Xiaoli's shoulder which had become much thinner in recent days, then turned and left the room.

……

……

"Dong dong dong."

Jiang Wan walked to the door and knocked.

Soon, she heard some complaining voice from the young man on the hospital bed.

"Come in, come on, seriously, I told you I was just asking casually, why are you really bothering me to come?"

This was a bit strange, but Jiang Wan didn't think much about it.

She closed the door and called out in a cold voice: "Cheng Kaiyan!"

"Who?"

Cheng Kaiyan frowned. This voice was indeed the voice of the female comrade at noon.

Jiang Wan knew that his movements were restricted, so she walked to the bedside, crossed her arms and looked down at him:
"You seem very proud?"

Just as Cheng Kaiyan was about to turn his head to look, he saw a middle-aged woman in a shirt and trousers appear in front of him. Looking at the familiar face, he hesitated and asked, "Who are you?"

"As you can see, I am Liu Xiaoli's mother, Jiang Wan."

Jiang Wan smoothed her trouser legs, sat on the hospital bed, crossed her legs, and introduced herself in a light tone.

"Xiaoli's mother? You are Aunt Wan!"

Cheng Kaiyan's pupils shrank. He had once thought about meeting Aunt Wan, whom he had only heard of but never seen.

But I didn't expect it to be in this situation.

Jiang Wan ignored him and just looked at him.

She just took a quick glance at him on her first day and never looked at him closely. At that time, she just felt that he looked like her good friend Xu Yuxiu.

At this moment, it is very appropriate to examine him from the perspective of Liu Xiaoli's mother.

The young man in front of me was lying quietly on the hospital bed. He was tall but not thin.

His back is straight, his arms are upright, his shoulders are sharp, and his figure is as slender as a jade tree.

A strand of jet-black hair falls between his thick and straight eyebrows, making him look handsome yet heroic.

Those beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed to sense Jiang Wan's cold and emotionless scrutiny, and blinked nervously.

A pair of amber eyes are reflected under the fluttering long eyelashes, as clear and bright as an autumn tan with light golden leaves floating on it, with an indescribable beauty.

The nose is high and the lips are slightly pursed, and the lines created by them are as natural and perfect as mountains and clear streams.

"He is very beautiful, and with those peach blossom eyes, I don't know how many girls' souls he has attracted."

Jiang Wan thought with a sneer in her heart.

Then he snorted and said expressionlessly: "You don't have to be so affectionate. This is the first time we meet. Just call me by my name."

"Don't dare."

Cheng Kaiyan took a deep breath and said, "Whether it's Xiaoli's side or my mother's side, I should call you aunt."

"It's up to you. Anyway, we won't meet again."

Jiang Wan waved her hand, her tone very casual.

Cheng Kaiyan remained silent upon hearing this. Will they never meet again?

It seems that Aunt Wan is quite dissatisfied with herself!

"You don't seem to have answered my question yet. Is this what your mother taught you?"

The beautiful woman in front of him asked bluntly, with impatience in her eyes.

"What's there to be proud of? If you have something to say, just say it. I'll bear it no matter what."

Faced with the heavy oppression and cold treatment from her mother-in-law, Cheng Kaiyan was filled with helplessness and confusion, so she decided to be more direct and frank.

This was exactly the question he had thought about the last time he camped in the hills behind the old house.

"You are very proud of yourself. Am I wrong?"

"You are good-looking, talented, and a literary talent with a certain reputation. A group of women are surrounding you. Don't you feel proud? Don't you look down on others? Don't you feel satisfied?"

Jiang Wan looked at him quietly, pointing at Cheng Kaiyan and speaking word by word.

The voice was as sharp as a knife, and every word cut into the bones.

Cheng Kaiyan suddenly felt like being stripped naked and put under the spotlight.

He didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly.

"I don't want to care about you, and I'm too lazy to care. It's your own business.

But you should never, ever let Xiaoli make such a big sacrifice for you.

Do you know how much Xiaoli has paid for you? "

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Wan's voice became colder and colder, and the fire in her heart became stronger and stronger.

"She gave up her job as a staff member at Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater for you, with a salary of nearly 100 yuan a month.

Do you know how difficult it is to find a job with so many educated youth?
One job can support a family of four!
She gave up the city where she had lived for ten years, gave up her teachers and friends whom she had known for ten years, and came to Beijing where she was unfamiliar with the place.

Don't you know she's here without any friends or acquaintances?

Do you know what day it is today?

September 9th.

The leaders of Beijing Dance Academy and China National Opera and Dance Theater originally wanted to let Xiaoli perform at the Great Hall of the People, but because you were injured and hospitalized in a coma, she gave up without even a second thought!

Do you know how rare this opportunity is?

It can be said that this opportunity only comes once in a lifetime!

How can you be so cruel to just watch her give up so many things for you step by step?
Then you say some sweet words that don't hurt her at all. Do you think that's the end of it? Do you think that you can make it up to her in this way?

Why do you deserve that? Are you worthy?
What have you done for Xiaoli? ! "

Jiang Wan slapped the bed angrily, making a loud bang.

As soon as the words fell, the room fell into deathly silence.

Will you be performing at the People's Hall on September 9th?

Cheng Kaiyan's heart sank when he heard this. He was silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly: "Aunt Wan, I know you came to talk to me today because you feel sorry for Sister Xiaoli and are worried that she will get hurt."

Jiang Wan just sneered at this and watched to see what else he could say.

Cheng Kaiyan said sincerely, "I feel the same as you do. I have always seen her efforts and kept them in my heart. I know her goodness better than anyone else, and I am always grateful for her unconditional trust.

I totally understand your sentiments.

I have many faults and have caused her to feel wronged and sad. This is something I need to reflect on.”

After saying this, he touched the wound on his arm and said with a wry smile, “To be honest, after this experience on the brink of death, I have figured out a lot of things.

The most important things in life are the people around you.

In fact, long before Sister Xiaoli came to Beijing, I had made many plans for the future. I have been saving money to buy a house for the two of us... so that we can get married and have children in the future and honor you two."

"If Aunt Wan can give me some time and trust me, I will let you see my efforts..."

Jiang Wan thought about it for a long time. With her thoughtful mind, she could naturally tell that what Cheng Kaiyan said was true and came from the bottom of her heart.

But her tone remained calm, "Then prove it to me."

Then, she glanced at the door with the corner of her eyes, "I won't disturb your rest, so as not to make someone feel distressed."

After that, he stood up and left.

But when she opened the door, Cheng Kaiyan heard some other noises.

It seems like someone is eavesdropping outside?
