What do you want in life

Chapter 38 Can the Oath of the Past Become Forever (17)
Xiaoyu looked at Guo Jia and grinned, "Sister Guo's food is delicious, and she is hardworking. It's not to mention how comfortable it is to live here. I don't want to move yet."

"How can I do that! This is very disturbing to others. If your matter is resolved, you should go back to live, Guo Jia and her..."

"Okay, okay, sister!" Xiaoyu interrupted her, "Guo Jia didn't say anything, why are you so anxious! Anyway, don't worry about our affairs!"

"No..." Xiaoying was about to say a few more words to him when Guo Jia walked over, so she had to hold back.

Unexpectedly, the house was small, and Guo Jia had heard what they said before.

"Xiaoying, it's okay, let him stay here, he just works as a part-time bodyguard for me!" Guo Jia sat down in front of Xiaoying carelessly, "Two days ago a thief came into our community, and even patronized my house, Fortunately, Xiaoyu was sleeping, so he beat the other party to the bum! If it wasn't for him, my poor savings would have been wiped out long ago."

Xiaoying gasped, turned her head to look at Xiaoyu, "Are you fighting with someone again?"

"What fight?" Xiaoyu smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, "This is called eliminating violence and ensuring justice!"

The result of Xiaoying's interference ended up being nothing, and Xiaoyu continued to live in Guo Jia's place in her own way, which was unexpected for Xiaoying.

In the dead of night, Shen Nanzhang was preoccupied with tossing and turning, so he put on a coat and got up, intending to visit his wife's room.

In the past two years, Wu Qiuyue's physical condition has been unstable and her sleep is poor. In order not to affect her rest, Shen Nanzhang had to sleep in a separate room with her.

At the door of her room, the light pouring from the crack of the door showed that she hadn't fallen asleep yet, and it was almost midnight.

Shen Nanzhang frowned and gently pushed open the door, calling her in a low reproach, "Qiuyue—"

Wu Qiuyue was looking at a photo album under the desk lamp with her head down. When she heard her husband walk in, she hurriedly hid the photo album in a drawer, but Shen Nanzhang had already seen the cover of the photo album. It was a record of Shen Juncheng's growth from childhood to adulthood. Album of experiences.

When he sat down on her bedside, his expression relaxed a lot, "Why aren't you asleep? Are you thinking about Xiaocheng again?"

Wu Qiuyue's face was a little stiff, "What is there to think about? We haven't seen him back for so long, it seems that we really raised him for nothing, he is so heartless, why should I miss him?"

Under her sullen expression, there was a trace of unwillingness and pain that could not be concealed.

Shen Nanzhang didn't say anything, sighed softly, and reached out to hold his wife's hand. For so many years, their attention has been restrained by business and their son, and there are very few moments when they can sit face to face with each other like this. Realizing this, Shen Nanzhang's gaze towards his wife became softer.

"Qiuyue, I think you should listen to Lao Liu's advice. I'll send you to the hospital for a physical examination tomorrow, okay?"

"I'm not going!" Wu Qiuyue said with a cold face, "Isn't it just those old problems, isn't it interesting to toss around?"

"I understand what you mean," Shen Nanzhang said in a slow voice, "but you refused to go for the physical examination last year, and you can't slip away this year no matter what happens. We know Lao Liu so well, what he said still makes sense, anyway Just a blood test, filming, etc., he has arranged for it, it’s no trouble, and there is no problem after the inspection, so we can rest assured, besides, I will accompany you to do it together!"

Wu Qiuyue turned around irritably, she was in no mood to worry about her body now.

The couple fell silent for a moment, and after a while, Wu Qiuyue couldn't calm down, "Nanzhang, have you been in Nanxiang lately? Juncheng..."

As soon as her son's name left her mouth, she seemed to feel that she was worthless again, and exhaled angrily, "Forget it, forget it, don't mention it! Anyway, you have to pay close attention to the matter at Nanxiang's end."

Ever since she learned that Shen Juncheng had moved out of the Shen family, the stubborn Wu Qiuyue never asked her husband for any news about him, and Shen Nanzhang never told his wife about Shen Juncheng's movements, for fear of disturbing her mood.

But now it seems that keeping her from knowing and guessing seems even more detrimental to her health—her insomnia is so severe that she has to rely on sleeping pills every night to fall asleep.

"Xiaocheng, he left the company a long time ago." Shen Nanzhang said slowly.

Wu Qiuyue was taken aback, and suddenly raised her face.

"He and Han Xiaoying plan to leave here to develop in H City...Leaving in about a week..."

After Shen Nanzhang finished speaking, he didn't hear his wife's movement for a long time. He turned his head and saw Wu Qiuyue's ashen face.

"Qiuyue..." he called her worriedly, "Don't be too sad, it's normal for the child to have his own thoughts when he grows up, as for the others..."

Tears slid down Wu Qiuyue's cheeks, she shook her head desperately, and could no longer pretend to be strong, "Nanzhang, I really failed! I have nothing left, I can't give birth to my own children, even the one I raised I can't keep it, Nanzhang, tell me, what did I do wrong?"

Unable to hold back the grievance and pain of many days, Wu Qiuyue threw herself into her husband's arms and cried loudly!
Shen Nanzhang hugged his desperate wife tightly, but his heart was full of guilt. His wife was so strong on the outside, but so fragile on the inside, and he had ignored this for many years, always blaming her on various issues .

At this moment, looking at her waist that could no longer be supported, and hearing her crying in agony, Shen Nanzhang suddenly gritted his teeth, determined to get his son back at all costs, because he couldn't just sit back and endure too much misfortune His wife has to endure the grief of losing her son again!

Shen Juncheng woke up suddenly in the dark night, his back was sweating for some reason, he recalled the dreams he had just had, they were all trivial fragments of childhood, these days, he seems to be having similar dreams all the time, like Fragments of memory are persistently making puzzles in his mind, trying to wake him up.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and heard the even breathing sound of Xiaoying lying beside him, and his inexplicably beating heart gradually calmed down.

He turned sideways to look at Xiaoying who was sleeping soundly. Under the dim light, he could only vaguely see the outline of her face. This did not affect the love and pity in his heart, because everything about her had already been remembered by him. In his heart, he can imagine all her charm and sweetness without looking carefully.

He reached over and gently stroked her forehead, her tightly closed eyes, her small and tall nose bridge, and her soft lips. Her lips were slightly curved, and she must have been smiling in a dream.This awareness instantly filled Shen Juncheng's chest with enthusiasm.

Isn't this the result he dreamed of?From the time he met her at the age of 18, he wanted to make her happy and make her happy. Now, he finally did it.

His hand walking on her face gradually moved down, winding across her smooth neck, still unsatisfied, and continued all the way down, and his breathing gradually became quicker, in this satisfied but also somewhat empty At night, he was eager to find something to fill...

Xiaoying was awakened by the heat entangled in her body. When she opened her eyes, she found that she was already in Shen Juncheng's arms, and he quietly used his actions to expand the territory he conquered on her body.

"What time is it?" Xiaoying asked in a daze, struggling to figure out the situation.

"I don't know." Shen Juncheng replied in a hoarse voice, the hotness in his body could no longer be suppressed, he suddenly turned her body over with force, and was instantly pressed down by himself.

He stood up and drove straight in, Xiaoying suddenly woke up, she felt his strangeness, "Shen Juncheng, you..."

Shen Juncheng bowed his head and bit her lip, not letting her interrogate him, but violently vented his unspeakable emotions. At the peak moment, his lips suddenly moved to Xiaoying's ear, and he murmured, "Let's get married early, okay?" good?"

Xiaoying trembled slightly with her arms around him, but she didn't say a word, and Shen Juncheng didn't force her to give an answer. The two hugged each other quietly, and each other's heartbeat was infinitely magnified in the silent space, as if There are only two of them left in the whole world.

Early in the morning, Shen Juncheng packed his backpack, threw it over his shoulder, and looked at Xiaoying who was standing in the living room, "Actually, you really should go with me. In this way, at least we can choose something we are all satisfied with." The house—you stop thinking about it?"

Xiaoying ran forward with a smile, raised her feet and kissed him on the cheek, "As long as it is what you fancy, I will like it."

Shen Juncheng sighed helplessly, walked a few steps towards the door, couldn't help turning around again, hugged Xiaoying tightly, and murmured in her ear, "I hate separation the most."

Xiaoying slammed her chin on his shoulder, smiling sweetly and helplessly, "Okay! I'll be back in a few days! Good boy, be careful on the road!"

But he still refused to leave immediately, looked at her fixedly and said: "I meant the truth last night."

"What?" Xiaoying didn't react, she quickly took stock of last night's scene in her mind, and soon thought of the crazy lingering scene that was ignited by him in the middle of the night, and her face turned red again.

"Let's go." She pushed him shyly, "Be careful of missing the train."

"We'll get married when we settle down in City H." Shen Juncheng stared into her eyes, but this time he was extremely serious.

Last night, he thought about it for a long time. Marrying Xiaoying was his long-cherished wish. He wanted to take her to live in H City to create a quiet and simple living environment for the two of them.What he didn't dare to admit or even dare to think about was that the worry in his heart was always there-he didn't know what would happen in the future, so he was eager to implement the relationship between the two, anyway, marriage is a matter of time , When they got married, his heart would be at peace.

Xiaoying blushed even brighter. After thinking about it, she turned away tactfully, "Let's talk about it later."

Shen Juncheng refused to let her go, hugged her tightly, pressed his forehead against Xiaoying's forehead, not to let her hesitate, "Promise me first."

After a long silence, Xiaoying closed her eyes, nodded and whispered, "...Okay, I promise." When she agreed, the sweetness in her heart overwhelmed all the uneasiness and apprehension. It's been a long time too.

Shen Juncheng smiled happily, and kissed her again before reluctantly letting her go.

"I will come back as soon as possible, weekend at the latest! I will call you every day, no matter how late, please don't answer my call!"

"Got it!" Xiaoying waved to him from inside the door, with a persistent smile on her face.

After getting along with Shen Juncheng for a long time, you will find that his childhood temperament seems to have returned to him one by one. He is no longer the gentle and indifferent Mr. Shen he saw in Nanxiang at the beginning. Peel off little by little.

This should be the reason why he feels happy!Thinking of this, Xiaoying's deep guilt dissipated a little.

This at least proved that they did not gain nothing when they came together against the odds of the world. He and she both felt the long-lost happiness.

When Shen Juncheng's figure disappeared, Xiaoying ran to the balcony to see him again. She found that her mentality of being a child became more and more obvious, but she didn't feel embarrassed by it. She could look at him, hear him, touch him, What a happy thing!

Sure enough, Shen Juncheng would call back every day, and more than one, he would take the trouble to describe the address, surrounding environment, room type, facilities, etc. of the house to her on the phone.

City H is a tourist-oriented city, housing prices are extremely high, and rental prices are not cheap. Even so, Shen Juncheng insisted on renting an expensive two-bedroom apartment near Minghu Lake, the most famous scenic spot in City H.

"The monthly rent alone is more than 2000 yuan, that's a lot..." Xiaoying's heart twitched immediately when she heard the price on the phone, but Shen Juncheng cut her off before she could finish her heart-wrenching words.

"If you don't live by the Ming Lake in City H, it's no different from any city. Xiaoying, we came here to enjoy life better. You don't have to worry about money. In the future, it doesn't matter even if you don't work. I Will support you."

Facing Shen Juncheng's considerate care, Xiaoying had nothing to say.

However, in the dead of night, deep in her heart, some inexplicable uneasiness is about to move, and it seems to break out of the ground.

She couldn't forget the night when Shen Juncheng left, what made him become so passionate and crazy, and the sudden marriage proposal the next day, he seemed to want to use his enthusiasm to prove something, drive away something, even though he She didn't say anything, but the sensitive Xiaoying still noticed something unusual.

Perhaps happiness comes too easily and too early, so it has a somewhat illusory and unreal color, she faces the window in the twilight, the sun sets, and a round of red sun burns like a fresh egg, But it was slowly falling into the darkness.

I hope I think too much.She comforted herself like this in her hesitation.

On Friday, Shen Juncheng was supposed to be on his way back, but he temporarily received an interview notice from a large company located in City H—this was a foreign company that he had applied for before going to City H. The two parties had talked on the phone During the chat, a foreign executive of the other party was very interested in him, but he was abroad at the time and his return date was undecided, so the interview plan was postponed.

After Shen Juncheng arrived in City H, the company's personnel department called Shen Juncheng, informing him that the foreign executives would return to City H this Sunday, hoping to find time for an interview next week.After learning that Shen Juncheng was still stranded in City H and did not leave, the HR department immediately advised him not to rush back. After re-discussion, the interview time was set on Sunday afternoon—the executive would come to the company to meet with him as soon as he got off the plane. Shen Juncheng met.

With such a high degree of attention, Shen Juncheng naturally had no choice but to refuse. Although he would have nothing to do in City H for two days, it was better to run back and forth.He told Xiaoying about his decision, how could Xiaoying have no reason not to support it, so Shen Juncheng stayed in City H and waited for the executive to come back with peace of mind.

How could he know that such a seemingly inadvertent decision made his life trajectory slide to an unpredictable turning point again, and after that, many things were no longer under his control.

After work, Xiaoying was taken to have dinner by her colleagues. This was her last weekend at the company. The colleagues got along very well with her, and they felt that her departure was very sudden, and they all felt sorry for her. So The head of the department was the host, and they planned to have a good get-together, which was considered a break-up, and the break-up was thorough, because everyone knew that Xiaoying would leave for City H soon.

The meal was very enjoyable, but also a little sad. Although the time we spent together was short, they were the most harmonious and friendly group of colleagues that Xiaoying had encountered since working.

Xiaoying drank a little wine. When she came out of the restaurant, a colleague offered to take her back, but she declined. She has always been a good drinker, and this little wine is not a problem for her.

She is a thrifty person, so even though her colleagues repeatedly urged her to take a taxi back, she turned around and walked to the nearest bus stop.

After bouncing on the rickety car for half an hour, she finally returned to the neighborhood where she was.

Three days ago, the landlord had come to settle all the bills with her. Because he had always had a good relationship with her, he allowed her to stay for a few more days until he left the city.

She has lived here for three years, people are not grass and trees, how can one be ruthless, the familiar buildings and streets in front of her eyes, at this moment, she still has a bit of reluctance, even though the reluctance is also mixed with hatred Yearning and longing for a new life.

Walking to the front of the residential building, a rare black Audi was parked in the narrow aisle, and the huge body shone brightly under the dim street lights.

Xiaoying has always been too lazy to care about things that have nothing to do with her. She only glanced at her before turning around and preparing to enter the building.

But the door of the car opened right behind her, and a voice rang out, "Miss Han!"

The voice was somewhat familiar, and before Xiaoying could distinguish it, she turned her head in amazement and saw Cao Wenyu standing at the door of the car. For a few seconds, she didn't recover, and even thought she was dreaming—it was difficult. Imagine that the well-dressed Cao Wenyu would drive to this old community.

But she came to her senses immediately, and smiled in her heart, even Shen Juncheng could live safely upstairs, and nothing else was impossible.

At the same time, an ominous premonition has instinctively risen from the bottom of my heart and spread to the whole body.

Cao Wenyu looked at her, but didn't move, the expression on his face seemed to beckon her to come over.Xiaoying didn't know what was waiting for her, but after a little thought, she bravely walked towards him.

"Hello, Assistant Cao..." She greeted him with a smile.

Cao Wenyu also smiled slightly, without embarrassing her, quickly nodded and said: "Chairman Shen is in the car, he wants to talk to you."

This day may come sooner or later, Xiaoying can't think of a reason to refuse, and Cao Wenyu has already opened the car door for her and motioned her to go in.

Shen Nanzhang sat in the large back seat of the car. There were only three people in the car, except him and Xiaoying, and Cao Wenyu was the only driver.

Xiaoying only watched Shen Nanzhang from a distance once at the farewell banquet for Mr. Zheng. From a distance, he looked indistinct.With such a close contact today, she found that Shen Nanzhang was not as strict as she imagined, on the contrary, there was still a kind smile on his face.

Neither party was rude, and after the necessary greetings, Shen Nanzhang ordered the people in front of him: "Wen Yu, send us to the Gufang teahouse."

Along the way, Shen Nanzhang chatted with Xiaoying in a polite tone, nothing more than asking about the situation in Nanxiang and the new company. As for those sensitive topics and Shen Juncheng, he didn't mention a word.Xiaoying understands that gossiping is definitely not Shen Nanzhang's original intention to find her, he should be waiting, and then tell the whole story when there is no one else, Xiaoying's heart can't stop beating, and she has to straighten her back Keep yourself from getting weak.

The car quickly drove into the parking lot of Gufang Tea Room in the southern suburbs scenic spot. It is located in a remote area and requires a VIP card to enter. Therefore, even in the peak tourist season, it is not as crowded with tourists as other scenic spots. There is nowhere to go.
