Chapter 22 The South Wind Transits
Xue Rin was pretending to be awkward, but his nose suddenly caught a special fragrance in the air, and he slapped his thigh fiercely.
"Soup!"
Xue Rin shouted, and immediately got up and ran back to the cave to check the forgotten pot of beef and mushroom soup.
When I opened the lid of the pot, I saw that the soup was almost dry, and the beef had already flown into shredded beef.
Xue Rin forked a piece of mushroom and shredded beef and put it in his mouth, and as soon as he chewed it, his facial features immediately wrinkled.
"What's wrong?" Yao Zhixia, who arrived later, asked worriedly when she saw Xue Rin's painful appearance.
Xue Rin closed his eyes, and his free hand clenched into a fist, and he swallowed everything in his mouth.
"It's too salty. β
When Yao Zhixia heard this, he leaned down, picked up the iron lunch box, and turned around and walked out of the cave.
"Wait a minute, I'll go fetch water. β
When Yao Zhixia returned from fetching water, he found that Xue Rin was lying upright on her straw mat at this time, and her head was stuck between the leaves.
From time to time, Peng Peng sniffed him and licked his face, while Ding Man jumped directly onto Xue Rin's back, walking back and forth anxiously.
Yao Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief, threw the lunch box in his hand and ran to Xue Rin's side.
She knelt on the ground and tried to turn his body over, but Xue Rin's body in a coma was extremely heavy, and no matter how Yao Zhixia dragged his arm, she couldn't turn him over.
In a panic, Yao Zhixia's waist was suddenly tightly wrapped around a pair of outstretched arms.
"You ......"
Yao Zhixia pressed Xue Rin's arms with both hands, trying to untie this sudden confinement, but Xue Rin's arms rebounded tighter and tighter, and he pressed his head against Yao Weavingxia's warm lower abdomen without saying a word.
"Xue Rin?"
Yao Zhixia froze in place, confused by this inexplicable situation.
The air was quiet for a long time, and a soft voice came faintly from Yao Zhixia's lower abdomen: "Mom, don't leave me." β
Yao Zhixia, who heard this, was directly stupid, and after a short and intense shock, she slowly lowered her head, looked at the messy hair on the top of Xue Rin's head, worded for a long time, and said cautiously: "Xue Rin, do you miss your mother?"
As soon as these words came out, Xue Rin suddenly became excited like a lit firecracker, his voice was full of crying, and his words became slurred.
Mom, I'm sorry, I haven't dreamed of you for several years, I'm really afraid that one day I'll forget what you look like, but I never dare to look at your photos, I'm afraid you will be as sad as I am, I'm back from England, but I don't know where my home is, it's my dad and that woman's home, I've always known that I don't hate my dad, I hate my own powerlessness, I hate that I can't keep you!"
Feeling the body in his arms shaking uncontrollably, a faint sobbing sound came from Yao Zhixia's ears.
Did he cry?
Yao Zhixia lowered her head and gently stroked Xue Rin's hair, she paused, and mustered up the courage to speak.
"Xue Rin, don't be sad, your mother has always been by your side to protect you, never left, you laugh, I laugh with you, you cry, I will cry with you, promise me, we won't cry in the future, live the second half of your life, treat your father well, only if you and your father are happy, I can rest assured!"
The person in his arms nodded obediently, and his mood slowly returned to calm.
Yao Zhixia took a deep breath and tried to sort out his thoughts, so decent, why did Xue Rin suddenly behave like this?
Just as she was wondering, her arms, which had been wrapping around her waist, suddenly exerted force and lifted her up from the ground.
Yao Zhixia staggered and tried to balance her body, but a shadow hit her head, she instinctively raised her head, but it was facing Xue Rin's misty eyes, the red bloodshot in his eyes was a little terrifying, as if there was a hidden bloodthirsty desire.
"Xue Rin, you ......"
The scorching gaze, the unyielding confinement, the air is full of weirdness and tranquility before the mountain rain is coming.
Before the words fell, Yao Zhixia was pulled into Xue Rin's arms, and before she could react, her soft lips had been attacked by Xue Rin, and his kiss was like an escaped trapped beast, wanton and arrogant.
As if enveloped by a strange magic, unable to resist it anymore, she was like a snowflake bathed in the warm sun, gradually melting in his warm arms.
A feeling that had been hidden for a long time awakened in an instant, Yao Zhixia couldn't help but close her eyes, empty all her senses, and let herself sink into the **** he brought her.
Time is obliterated by God, and there is no order at all.
I don't know how long it took, when that strange touch left Yao Zhixia, her whole body was still trembling uncontrollably, she desperately tried to suppress the feeling of being dominated, but the rapid breathing sound in her ears kept declaring her sovereignty to her.
Yao Zhixia lowered her head and stared helplessly at the campfire at her feet, the charcoal crackling and the sound splashing in her heart. Not daring to meet the close confrontation, she disarmed and surrendered before the struggle could be staged.
The man in front of her withdrew a hand from her waist and touched it lightly above her head, her expression unrecognizable.
The light of the fire in the cave flickered and dimmed, reflecting the figures of the two of them, and she looked at the shadows that merged on the ground, and felt that her broken heart was filled here and now.
The next moment, Xue Rin's body fell heavily on Yao Zhixia's body as if she had lost her center of gravity, and she was overwhelmed and directly pressed down on the straw mat under her feet.
Xue Rin's head rested on Yao Zhixia's chest, and her fangs and claws clinged to her neck, itchy, but it was far less than the oppression caused by the weight on her body.
Yao Zhixia didn't dare to move, she was silent for a long time, until there was a steady breathing sound in her chest, she raised her head slightly and looked down, but she couldn't see anything except Xue Rin's messy hair and straight nose.
Is he asleep?
She was a little uneasy, so she raised a hand and gently groped on Xue Rin's face, and only after feeling the temperature from his cheeks did she put her mind at ease.
Closing his eyes, Yao Zhixia greedily absorbed an unprecedented sense of stability, and fell asleep in the silence of midnight.
----
In the city, the overwhelming news of shipwrecks is still rampant, and the shocking number of missing people has enveloped the whole city with high pressure.
The search and rescue team searched day and night, and only saved a few lives in the first two days, although the family members who were waiting for the return of their loved ones were still unrelenting in the search and rescue command center, but everyone's face was written with despair, the wailing had gradually subsided, and there was only silence left.
After experiencing the blows of the first two days, Xue Huaiyuan finally collapsed and was forced to be sent to the hospital to recuperate by Qi Hang.
Gong Bowen and his wife stay in the ward every day, for fear that Xue Huaiyuan will do something stupid, he lost his wife ten years ago, and now he has lost his son, who can get out of the room?
Although they repeatedly kept Xue Rin's disappearance a secret, there was no impermeable wall, and the news of the uncertain fate of the son of the group's founder and current chairman in the shipwreck still reached the board of directors.
Qi Hang, as the group's financial director who has turned the tide, has a very high reputation in the hearts of the company's shareholders and executives, she has to give an explanation to the shareholders on behalf of her husband, and on the other hand, she has to run between the search and rescue center and the hospital, for fear of any more mistakes.
Seeing off Gong Bowen and his wife, who were with them during the day, Qi Hang took off his coat and sat beside Xue Huaiyuan's bedside.
Although it is now a hot summer, a few years ago because of the abortion left the root of the disease, causing her to become afraid of cold physique, speaking of this, Qi Hang also struggled to waver, but in the end she still chose to give up her chance to have children.
It was Xue Rin's fifth year of studying in the UK, that is, when Xue Rin was in his third year, he accompanied Xue Huaiyuan through five ups and downs, and after encountering countless marriage urges from his family, Qi Hang suddenly found that he was in love with Xue Huaiyuan.
At first, she had been suppressing and denying her emotions, because Xiao Xue Huaiyuan was eight years old, she had always regarded him as a business idol and a boss who swore to follow, and his pursuit of career and deep love for his wife and son impressed Qi Hang.
But time is like a cunning magician, unknowingly holding her heart with his, facing Xue Huaiyuan's sincere marriage proposal, Qi Hang nodded.
According to Qi Hang's request, they entertained a few of their closest friends, and they got together in the restaurant for a while, and it was regarded as a wedding.
After getting married, Qi Hang resigned from the company and kept the family in order.
Every time Xue Rin poked the basket there, it was Qi Hang who came forward to settle it, so Qi Hang, who always appeared in front of Xue Rin as a saint, was even more disgusted by him.
When she found out that she was pregnant, Qi Hang felt a burst of ecstasy, because she was thirty-five years old at that time, but when she thought of the child who gave up on herself abroad, she hesitated again.
After Xue Huaiyuan found out, he naturally encouraged her to give birth to the child, but Qi Hang was worried, if they had their own child, what would Xue Rin think?
How can a person who already feels abandoned accept that his father has another child with another woman?
When deciding to marry Xue Huaiyuan, Qi Hang secretly swore in her heart that she must treat Xue Rin well, she didn't want to betray her promise, so she gave up her child under Xue Huaiyuan's opposition, even if the doctor repeatedly stated that if she chose to give up this time, there would basically be no possibility of having children in this life.
When he woke up from his slumber, Xue Huaiyuan saw Qi Hang sitting on the edge of the hospital bed peeling apples, so he stretched out a hand and stroked Qi Hang's leg.
"Are you awake, come on, eat apples!"
Qi Hang put the peeled apples on the plate and got up to help Xue Huaiyuan sit up.
"Why do you want to peel an apple, you have been busy all day, take a good rest, let Ah Yuan do it, what about Ah Yuan?"
Ah Yuan is the son of Lao Yu, who has been a driver for the Xue family for many years, and he was also watched by Xue Huaiyuan to grow up, this child is honest and diligent, Xue Huaiyuan arranged for him to be an assistant by his side, all of which should be long-term knowledge.
"I let Ah Yuan eat, and he was tired enough, running up and down every day. β
"Qi Hang, I'm glad to be sorry for you, I really regret proposing to you now, our father and son, we can't give you any happiness, and we are always making you suffer. Xue Huaiyuan felt very remorseful.
"You open your eyes and talk nonsense, I married a husband who respects me and cares for me, I know that my son will hate him, and he wants to marry me, he doesn't ask me for anything, and he accompanies me to do what I love whenever he has time, I'm afraid of being cold in the summer, I'd rather sweat than turn on the air conditioner at home, it's just a little bad......"
Qi Hang paused and sent a piece of apple to Xue Huaiyuan's mouth.
"What?" Xue Huaiyuan asked nervously, tilting his head to the side.
"You boiled yourself too tired, you are not yet fifty years old, you are full of work diseases, if you are a young man in your twenties and thirties, I won't say anything if you stay up late, you have been staying up for nearly thirty years, who can stand this?" Qi Hang complained about this more than once, and it was a clichΓ©.
"After all, the group is a career that I worked hard for when I was young, and this is not only my dream, Bowen's dream, but also ...... Chen Nuan's dream, I am always afraid that if I relax, this dream will be dismantled little by little. β
"Huaiyuan, if Sister Chen Nuan is here, she will definitely support my idea, every generation has the mission of each generation, your mission is to create, Xue Rin and Gong Yan Their mission is to inherit and develop, you stick to it, the company has no way to innovate, you see Gong Yan, as the director of the sales department of The Mall for about a year, turnover, popularity, influence, is that the achievement that our generation can make? Now that Xue Rin is back, don't say that he is not interested, as long as he wants to do it, it will definitely not be bad, his vision and ability are there, this is the advantage given to these young people in this era, you can't fight. β
What Qi Hang admires most about Xue Huaiyuan is that she judges the situation and handles it calmly, does her best in everything but does not force it, and is frank and honest with others and herself.
and her kindness and sincerity, Xue Huaiyuan deeply felt that she deserved the best happiness, so he had been trying to find a way to bridge the gap between Xue Rin and her, but Xue Rin's non-violent and non-cooperative attitude made Xue Huaiyuan have no place to go.
"If this kid can come back this time, whether he wants to work in the group or not, I will step down as chairman, listen to you, take good care of your body, and go out for a walk with you. Xue Huaiyuan clenched Qi Hang's hand.
"Huaiyuan, there is still a misunderstanding between you and Xue Rin that has not been resolved, he is not so easy to escape, besides, God is looking at my Qi Hang's face, and he doesn't dare to take my son away easily!" Qi Hang showed a firm smile on his face.
As soon as he heard the word "son", Xue Huaiyuan's eyes instantly became sour, he pulled Qi Hang into his arms, gently stroked her back, closed his eyes tightly and said, "Qi Hang, having a mother like you is our blessing to Xue Rin."
