Nostalgia.

A night of revelry.

At dawn the next day, Chen Liang left Zhu Qing's house.

Before leaving, Zhu Qing quietly told Chen Liang:

"Don't come tonight. You should rest, and I should rest too. Come again tomorrow morning, no, tomorrow afternoon. The time you hurt me was in the afternoon."

"oh."

Although it was afternoon, it was summer then, but now it's winter.

The two couldn't wait until next summer.

"We're still in the west room of the new house," Zhu Qing said again.

"Huh?" Chen Liang was somewhat shocked.

"Your mother...?"

"It's alright, she can't hear you. Just be discreet and don't let her see. A while ago, she fell and hurt her leg. She's basically stayed on the kang (heated brick bed) and rarely gets down. Even when she does get down, we have to help her."

"Oh, what if someone else comes?"

"Won't."

Zhu Qing glanced at Chen Liang.

That's true, these days, there aren't that many people visiting each other's homes.

"When you come, park the car in the backyard, then I'll open the front gate for you. Come in through the front gate, then sneak to the west room, keeping your back bent, so my mother doesn't see you."

"When you're almost here, send me a message. I'll leave the door open, and you can sneak in, go straight to the west room, and then I'll come over and close the door."

"I'll hide you from my mother in the east room."

Chen Liang asked in alarm, "Will it work? What if she suddenly goes to the west room?"

Zhu Qing rolled her eyes at Chen Liang again.

"No, when she goes out, she uses a cane if she's on her own. The floor tiles in the house are so slippery, we don't let her use them anymore, we've hidden the cane from her."

"Don't worry, don't worry about anything, everything will be fine."

Zhu Qing's confidence made Chen Liang want to give it a try.

Because he also missed that time in the west wing of the new house.

Perhaps, only after passing through here can their dreams be fulfilled.

We must continue what we didn't finish last time, and we must complete it.

"Okay, I'll contact you as soon as I arrive."

"Uh-huh."

Zhu Qing looked at Chen Liang again, hugged him, and kissed him for a while...

Chen Liangcai then left...

……

When Chen Liang arrived home, his heart was pounding.

Is this feasible?

Is this feasible?

It seems like it will work!

It seems like that won't work either!

But it's exciting!

Chen Liang also wanted the thrill of that time and wanted to try the thrill this time!

Then... let's go!

Chen Liang made up his mind!

……

Chen Liang is sleeping.

He slept very soundly this time.

Because I don't need to go to Zhu Qing's house tonight, I can finally get a good rest.

You can conserve your energy and wait for the real reunion tomorrow!

No one bothered Chen Liang.

I don't know why?

Or perhaps, Chen Liang had already instructed several women: "Don't bother me when I'm not sending you messages easily, because I'm writing a book."

Your interruptions completely disrupted my train of thought.

Or perhaps, the women had other things to do and had no time to pay attention to Chen Liang.

Looking for another man?

Come on!

Chen Liang was very confident that they would absolutely not look for other men.

They can't even handle themselves, so why would they look for other men?

Perhaps, in these quiet days, they can also take a rest.

Women are not as good as men.

In other things, he is almost inferior, and in this, he is even less so.

Chen Liang slept until evening.

They've been conserving their energy and building up their reserves very well.

He was waiting for tomorrow to reunite with Zhu Qing, which could also be seen as an attempt to salvage the previous great battle!

We absolutely cannot compromise again. We were so humiliated last time, we absolutely cannot be humiliated again this time.

Because this time is very important, Chen Liang is determined to give himself and Zhu Qing a different experience.

Chen Liang cooked himself some food.

ate.

I wrote a few words and published them.

Then he went back to sleep.

Continue to conserve your energy and prepare for tomorrow's make-up.

He wanted to make up for everything, to heal the pain of his past with Zhu Qing!

Yes!

That incident was also painful for Chen Liang.

It's not just the pain of separation, but also the pain of not being able to have what you want.

There's also the pain of shame.

He absolutely cannot afford to lose face again this time.

Although Zhu Qing already knew that he wasn't being shameful, this time, he had to give a different performance than he had in the past few days.

Let those things settled in the old traces of time reignite, and burn fiercely once more...

Let that regret, that shame, never exist in their memories again, replaced by their current perfection and courage!

I must never be a petty and despicable person again.

I need to let Zhu Qing know how amazing I am!

That's amazing!

He wanted to completely erase his past embarrassment from Zhu Qing's mind through his own achievements.

Replace yourself with your own strengths.

Chen Liang thought this way because it was a painful experience.

It was truly painful.

Moreover, it had always lingered in Chen Liang's heart.

It hurts so much.

And it's also very embarrassing...

……

the next day.

Chen Liang spent the whole morning writing a book.

in the afternoon.

After thinking it over, Chen Liang concluded that the trip must have taken place after 2 o'clock.

But now, Chen Liang doesn't want to go so late.

Because it was summer then.

It's winter now.

And at that time, they went there to avoid Zhu Qing's parents.

Now, Zhu Qing's father is gone, and Zhu Qing's mother is paralyzed and bedridden.

There's no need for me to stay out so late anymore.

Chen Liang texted Zhu Qing: I'm coming now. You don't need to open the gate so early, I'll let you know when I get there.

Zhu Qing replied: Yes, I know. I'll keep track of the time. Send me a message when you arrive.

Chen Liang: Okay.

Zhu Qing: Hmm.

Chen Liang rode his electric bike.

Chen Liang was very happy throughout the journey!

I can finally fulfill my long-held dream.

This dream was so long...

When Chen Liang was almost at Zhu Qing's house, he sent Zhu Qing a message: I'm almost there.

Zhu Qing: Okay, I'll open the door for you. Just come in. Remember what I told you yesterday.

Chen Liang: Okay.

The first step is to go to the old courtyard and park the car.

The second step was to sneak into Zhu Qing's front yard.

OK!

Chen Liang kept these things firmly in his mind.

Upon arriving at Zhu Qing's house, Chen Liang methodically parked his electric scooter in Zhu Qing's backyard.

Then, they quietly approached the front gate.

Chen Liang is just like a thief.

I peered inside from under the front gate.

very nervous.

He quickly sent another message to Zhu Qing: I'm going to the hospital right now.

Zhu Qing: Nonsense! Come in! Look at how cowardly you are, I bet you'll end up like that last time.

wipe!

Chen Liang is in a bad luck situation.

Chen Liang: Okay, I got it. Be careful.

Chen Liang put away his phone, silenced it, and crept towards Zhu Qing's new courtyard house.

He was hunched over, head bowed.

I dare not look inside the house.

He just glanced at the main room.

The door to the main room was open.

Chen Liang entered the house.

We quickly arrived at the west room.

The door to the west room was open, but the door to the east room was closed.

Chen Liang sat down in the room and quickly took a few breaths.

But then he got up and gently closed the door.

Send a message to Zhu Qing: I'm in.

Zhu Qinghui: I saw it.

Chen Liang: Oh, okay.

My heart was pounding wildly as I waited for Zhu Qing to come over.

At this moment, he was truly afraid that he would lose his vitality again.

My old body can't withstand this kind of torment.

There have been some changes in this room as well.

but!

That old single bed still exists!

Moreover, it was placed right against the north wall!

Against the east wall, there was a large double bed.

In Zhu Qing's new home, the kang (heated brick bed) in the east room is on the north side.

However, the large bed in the west room is on the south side.

Chen Liang had no idea how Zhu Qing's father had planned it back then.

Perhaps it was his stubborn personality that created this house.
