Chapter 18: He was in the lamplight
Mrs. Cheng saw that Gong Mengshu was aggrieved and her eyes rippled with tears, and she couldn't bear it, she patted Gong Mengshu's back and said, "Don't cry girl, if you cry like this, grandma's heart is not comfortable." I thought you could be with the boss, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. Grandma is old and confused, forgetting that you still have a Ruikai in your heart...... This kid doesn't know where he is now, and they all complain about his ruthless father, so he has to be a soldier......" Speaking of sadness, Mrs. Cheng also began to wipe away tears.
Gong Mengshu saw that the old lady was sad, for fear that the old lady would hurt her body, so she reluctantly held back her tears and replied: "Grandma, don't say it, Rui Kai is not here, you have always taken care of Mengshu, my sadness is not that they put me going, but I don't want to leave grandma so soon You go to serve others, please let me stay by your side, I am willing to serve you forever——"
"Grandma knows that you hurt people, I knew it ten years ago, you are Ruikai's person, and no one can snatch it away!" Mrs. Cheng's eyes were also red, "I was almost fooled by these bastard things, they saw that there were good people around me and tried every possible way to snatch them away! If they come nonsense again in the future, I will never spare him!"
"Thank you grandma!" Gong Mengshu crouched on Mrs. Cheng's knees for a long time and was reluctant to get up, the current Mrs. Cheng was the only person in the Cheng family who could help her speak, she had served by Mrs. Cheng's side since she was a child, and in her heart, Mrs. Cheng was like her own grandmother. She hugged Mrs. Cheng's waist and leaned on the old lady's warm arms, and her heart was a little more settled.
It was late, the spring was cold, Gong Mengshu was blown by the cold wind when she came out of Mrs. Cheng's room, she wrapped her thin arms with her hands, walked briskly with her head down, and at the corner of the corridor, she caught a glimpse of Cheng Ruitai, the eldest young master of the Cheng family, standing there, her steps slowed down, and Cheng Ruitai saw her come out, but immediately turned around as if to avoid her, and left quickly.
Gong Mengshu saw that Cheng Ruitai was embarrassed to avoid her, and she was annoyed and ashamed, and couldn't help complaining in her heart that the third aunt and Lin Xuexian messed up the mandarin duck spectrum, so that she would not be able to see the eldest young master in the future. She lowered her eyes and bit her lip and just buried her head in walking, someone behind her was timidly calling her, "Sister Meng-"
Gong Mengshu stopped, turned around and saw that it was Cheng Ruiming, the third young master of the Cheng family. Although Cheng Ruiming was born to the third aunt Taipeng Wanru, he did not inherit the meanness of the third aunt, and was an introverted and shy child. Because he grew up watching the third young master, Gong Mengshu treats Cheng Ruiming like his own brother, and the relationship between the two is very good on weekdays.
"You still haven't rested so late, hurry back to the room, lest the third wife can't see anyone and come out to look for it again," Gong Mengshu endured the anxiety and sentimentality in his heart, and said to Cheng Ruiming with a pleasant face.
"Sister Meng-are you okay, are you crying?" Cheng Ruiming unconsciously grew about the same height as Gong Mengshu, his eyes stared at the vague tears on Gong Mengshu's face and asked.
"It's just some small things, it's not worth delving," Gong Mengshu smiled and said, "You go and rest quickly, children don't care about so many things for adults......" Although the words were simple, they carried an unquestionable order. When Cheng Ruiming saw Gong Mengshu say this, he had no choice but to scratch his head and go back to the room.
Gong Mengshu watched Cheng Ruiming's back disappear, and she sighed heavily after a long time.
This night was another sleepless night, and when Gong Mengshu went to class the next day, there were faint dark circles under his eyelids. Cheng Molin took advantage of the teacher's back to give a lecture and quietly asked Gong Mengshu, "Didn't you sleep last night?"
Gong Mengshu lowered his head and took notes seriously, and did not say a word.
"The eldest brother is really, it's not good to ask for anything, but the second brother's person is ......" Cheng Molin muttered.
Gong Mengshu's heart jumped suddenly when he heard this, and he whispered, "You...... You know that, too?"
"Well," Cheng Molin whispered, "I listened to what my mother said, anyway, this time it's the eldest brother who is too much......
"Don't mention this matter again," Gong Mengshu closed his eyes slightly, stabilizing his fluctuating emotions, "Let the second wife stop talking about this matter again, okay?" Since Cheng Molin said so, it is estimated that the Cheng family knows about this matter, Gong Mengshu's heart seems to have been pressed on a big stone, and he can't relax for a long time.
"Oh, I know, I asked my mother not to tell others anymore," Cheng Molin saw that Gong Mengshu's face was not good, so she didn't dare to say more.
"Listen carefully," Gong Mengshu sighed and said to Cheng Molin, but his energy could no longer be concentrated.
When Cheng Molin got out of the school, she saw that Gong Mengshu was still very melancholy, so she proposed: "Mengshu, let's find someone to go for a walk by the lake......?"
Gong Mengshu refused without thinking about it: "No, let's go back early, have you forgotten all the previous instructions of the old lady and the second wife?"
"It's okay, just go for a while, won't it be done?" Cheng Molin still didn't give up.
Gong Mengshu suddenly became alert: "Who did you make an appointment?" Before the words fell, the sturdy figures of Huang Qilun and Li Zhehan jumped out of the bushes on the side of the road, startling Gong Mengshu and couldn't help but take a step back, while Cheng Molin giggled happily.
"Two young ladies, can you enjoy your face and watch the sunset together?" Huang Qilun bent over and made an inviting gesture very gracefully.
Gong Mengshu looked at him for a while, didn't say anything, and walked straight forward around him with an expressionless face.
Seeing this, Huang Qilun hurriedly wanted to stop Gong Mengshu, Gong Mengshu was still speechless, but he raised his clear black eyes and stared at him fixedly, which made Huang Qilun finally feel uneasy, and gradually, the momentum of no one in his eyes diminished under Gong Mengshu's sharp gaze, until it disappeared. In the end, I had to watch Gong Mengshu stand up with a slender lumbar spine, holding a stack of books, walking in front of him without squinting, without even looking back.
Huang Qilun's embarrassed appearance made Li Zhehan and Cheng Molin laugh, Huang Qilun is a famous flower in the school in the Fangyuan area, and his means of chasing girls are superb, but today he was completely defeated under Gong Mengshu's cold gaze, which is also a miracle.
"Huang Qilun, you tell me honestly, do you like Mengshu?" Cheng Molin teased Huang Qilun, who was flushed, while running quickly to catch up with Gong Mengshu, who had already walked far away, and her gloating giggles came from the wind.
Huang Qilun, accompanied by his friend Li Zhehan, had a handsome face that was just red and red, but there seemed to be a string in his heart that had been plucked, and his heartbeat began to speed up, and he couldn't suppress it.
Cheng Molin ran quickly to catch up with Gong Mengshu, panting and trying to explain to her, but Gong Mengshu, who was irritable, didn't want to listen to her at all, and the two of them chased me back to the Cheng family compound. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a black car parked outside the door, and people were very lively, and everyone in the Cheng Mansion was full of joy.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Molin rushed up to ask the housekeeper first.
The housekeeper looked at Cheng Molin, with a respectful attitude but a happy face, and reported to Cheng Molin and Gong Mengshu: "Miss, the second young master is back-"
"Ahh
Gong Mengshu held a stack of books, stood there, with an unbelievable dream look on her face, for a moment she thought she was in a dream, until Cheng Molin repeatedly urged her, she came back to her senses, hurriedly handed the book in her hand to the butler, and then lifted the skirt, and forgot that there should be a lady's manners, so she hurriedly followed Cheng Molin three steps and two steps up the door steps, and then rushed to the living room of the Cheng family's lobby.
The living room was already brightly lit and full of laughter. Cheng Molin saw the tall man surrounded by everyone, and shouted in surprise: "Second brother!" and pounced on him, hugging the man.
Maybe it was too fast, maybe it was too urgent, Gong Mengshu ran outside the living room door and there was a sense of tension about suffocation.
The man was hugged by Cheng Molin, and while smiling, he turned in the direction of Gong Mengshu as if he sensed something.
Under the lights, he was dressed in a handsome military uniform, tall figure, handsome face, bright eyes, at first glance, it seemed to be the same as when he left home two years ago, still unruly, but if you look closely, it seems to be different. When he left home, he was still a teenager, but now when he comes back, he is a man who stands up to the sky.
But in Gong Mengshu's heart, no matter how his appearance changes, he is just like her for more than 700 days and nights, like her god.
She looked at him fixedly, and was reluctant to leave for a moment, and her eyes gradually glowed with water.
