Chapter 48: Surrounded by Light Before Darkness
Huzhou Peninsula.
When I opened the door, I thought it was cold and dark, but who knew that it was bright.
"Qin Qian?"
Because he was stopped by Zhai Lisong when he left the drinking party, he said something. Later, I waited for Kang Zhan on the river for a while, so it was already very late.
He thought that Qin Qian should have fallen asleep.
But when her name was called, no response was heard.
Zhai Junlin entered the door with the key in his hand, and when he passed by the dining room, he passed by and stopped.
He turned over and walked to the table, the glass filled with a honey-colored liquid that reflected warmth in the light.
Under the cup was a sticky note: honey water. Warm the porridge in the pot and take it yourself.
It is Qin Qian's word, in the classical Juanxiu, the pen is strong, and the edge is faint.
They all say that words are like their people, but they are really right, they are clear and cold, seemingly gentle, but their small bodies have accumulated huge explosive power.
He picked up the glass of water and took a sip, it was honey water.
Although he doesn't like sweets very much, he unexpectedly thinks the taste is good, sweet and not greasy.
The taste buds spread gently on the tip of his tongue, which made him have some appetite.
Turning around and going to the kitchen, seeing the porridge in the pot, Zhai Junlin's thoughts suddenly fell into a trance.
Familiar images poured into my mind.
"Aunt Wu said that you have a party tonight, I think you should have drunk a lot of wine, boiled some porridge for you, and warmed your stomach, do you want me to serve you a bowl?"
"Aunt Wu said that after drinking, you have to eat something, otherwise your stomach will be upset. β
β¦β¦
It seems that in the first year of their marriage, at that time, they got along, strange and familiar, and she seemed to be very concerned about herself, embarrassed and at a loss.
When did it start to change?
Zhai Junlin doesn't remember either.
Back then, he was about this marriage, as Qin Qian said, none of them wanted it.
It's just that Qin Qian seems to have quickly accepted this fact, and he can't.
Therefore, he only remembered that in the past, Qin Qian did these intimate things, in his eyes, the more he did it, the more disgusted he became.
At that time, he clearly remembered what Qin Qian said about involuntariness, and understood that she was just an innocent person like him.
So he chose to ignore her good and try to "respect each other like guests", although getting along is extremely unnatural.
But he also tried to restrain himself and tried to avoid getting along with the two as much as possible.
It wasn't until later that she happened to go abroad, she was happy, and he was relieved.
The most difficult thing to get along with is not to be with someone you hate, but that you know that she is innocent and disgusting, but you can't be evil.
Zhai Junlin held the bowl of porridge, and his palm gradually cooled from warm.
He was somewhat numb and mechanically scooped the porridge into his mouth, remembering that in that year, he didn't seem to have drunk the porridge she had cooked for himself.
After eating a bowl of cold porridge, Zhai Junlin rarely brushed all the pots and pans.
Passing by Qin Qian's room back to the house, he paused for a long time.
Slowly reaching out and placing his hand on the doorknob, he gently twisted the doorknob, but never pushed it open.
It was as if the door weighed a thousand pounds, and even he couldn't push it open with all his strength.
Zhai Junlin didn't know what was wrong with him, he just felt that his brain was messed up, and his heart was also stuffy.
The ears were full of what Yu Sheng, Kang Zhan, and Qin Qian said by the fountain pool.
"Didn't you say that you know Qin Qian a lot? Why, your father-in-law doesn't know him?"
She was eighteen years old...... For seventeen days, there was no ...... in communication."
"From beginning to end, none of the so-called parents remembered that their daughter was in the earthquake-stricken area, and her life and death were unknown. β
"That day, she didn't cry or ask aloud, she just leaned on my shoulder and wept silently. β
β¦β¦
"When I was six years old, your eldest son was only four months younger than me, and your daughter was still in your womb...... I was eleven years old when I got divorced. β
"I watched you pregnant, and the ...... of helping your wild seeds into the hospital for pregnancy testing"
β¦β¦
"Zhan Yue, the heir of the Zhan family, has a fiancΓ©e, who is also the youngest daughter of the Feng family, one of the four major families, Feng Yusheng. β
"What kind of daughter-in-law did you marry?"
Zhai Junlin obviously knew that intellectually speaking, he should figure out who Qin Qian was?
How many identities does she have that he doesn't know? What is the origin? Yu Sheng said that he is not worthy of Qin Qian, is it the protection between friends, or is this the truth?
But he knew, he understood, but in his mind, he always remembered Qin Qian's cold and unwavering eyes, echoing the words she said-Heart, I still had it before. Now, it's gone!
There is also a picture that Yu Sheng said, and he couldn't help but think of it.
- On that day, she didn't cry or ask aloud, but leaned on my shoulder, crying silently and weepingβ
Zhai Junlin doesn't know, what does a person have to go through to be able to say that he doesn't have a heart?
How much pain does a person have to endure to cry, he can only cry silently.
In his eyes, in the past seven years, Qin Qian has been cold and indifferent, as if he has no heart and no lungs.
Who knows, it's not that she doesn't have it, but that she doesn't want to have.
Only a person's heart, full of holes and broken, does not want to have a heart.
If there is no heart, there will be no injury, and there will be no pain.
In the end, Zhai Junlin's fingers stiffly let go of the doorknob, withdrew his hand, and turned back to the room.
He is not a qualified husband, and he does not seem to be qualified to comfort and care about anything, maybe not to bother, is the only thing he can do for her at the moment......
On the bed in the room, Qin Qian lay quietly.
She heard the sound of the doorknob being unscrewed, and she held her breath, hoping that the man would not come in, and also thinking that when he came in, she chose to pretend to sleep.
Tonight, she no longer has the energy to face anyone, or rather, she is so tired tonight that she can no longer force a smile.
For the things Xu Fengyi and Meng Qingan did, she felt that she was venting freely, but she didn't feel happy at all in her heart.
Some things, some injuries have already been done, and no matter how much she retaliates, those injuries will not be intact.
Yes, it's just that the scab of the wound is lifted again, and it hurts more clearly.
She heard it, and the man at the door let go of the doorknob.
She heard the sound of footsteps drifting away, and the sound of doors opening and closing.
When I opened my eyes, it was dark, and I crashed into my eyes, and the air of a room was cold.
Qin Qian didn't know what it was for, the tip of his nose was sore, and tears slipped down the corners of his eyes and fell into his sideburns, cold into his heart.
β¦β¦
Night.
After the reception is over, after sending off the guests.
Xu Wanwan and Zhai Jundong returned to the lounge to pick up their things, and rested for a while by the way.
Seeing Zhai Jundong frowning, he leaned back on the sofa chair a little uncomfortably, raising his hand and rubbing his temples.
She turned to the side and made him a cup of tea.
Zhai Jundong twisted his eyebrows and raised his hand to push away.
"Drink some, you've had a lot of wine today. Xu Wanwan insisted on handing the wine to Zhai Jundong. "Warm stomach. β
Zhai Jundong took it, blew it, and took a sip, his stomach was much more comfortable.
Xu Wanwan walked around to the back of the sofa, stretched out her hand, put her slender fingers on the man's temples, and rubbed them appropriately.
"Originally, that Meng Qingan told me that Qin Qian was Meng Fengnan's illegitimate daughter, but I didn't expect the latter thing to happen, and I realized that she was the illegitimate daughter. Xu Wanwan remembered Meng Qingan's righteous indignation and contempt at that time, and almost believed it.
Xu Wanwan is also a family in Rongcheng, although it is not said that the status is as high as the Zhai family, but he has been in business for generations, and he can be regarded as the middle and upper class. What's more, their family is also a scholarly family.
Thinking of Meng Qing'an himself as an illegitimate daughter, and rampantly slandering Qin Qian as an illegitimate daughter, Xu Wanwan felt that this woman was too disgusting.
The disgust in this has nothing to do with the maintenance of Qin Qian, it is just a famous family, and it is disgusting to cheating, juniors, and illegitimate children.
"Sometimes, a lie is also equivalent to the truth to a certain extent. All lies are fabricated based on certain facts, and the truth in them is either true or false, depending on who can judge accurately. β
Xu Wanwan's movements paused, pondered this sentence carefully, and felt that there seemed to be some truth. Meng Qing'an's words are not to be believed, but in the end, there must be a person who is an illegitimate daughter, and he can also touch the melon and find out.
"Then what should we do now? Now that we know Qin Qian's identity, that is, the relationship between the two fathers and daughters is like this, what good is it for us?" Xu Wanwan continued to rub Zhai Jundong and sighed, "I didn't expect Qin Qian to be Meng Fengnan's daughter." Speaking of which, she is really pitiful, she is obviously the eldest lady, but she has been bullied to such a point. β
Although the words were regretful, there was not much pity in the tone.
It's just a simple emotion.
"If the relationship is good, it may not do us much good. The current state of affairs is not harmful to us. β
"What do you say?" asked Xu Wanwan.
"If the relationship between father and daughter is good, you will know that Qin Qian's situation in the Zhai family is not very good, and if you love the house and Wu, you will also reject us. But if it's not good, and Meng Fengnan wants to rebuild the old relationship with Qin Qian, then he will find a way to start from all aspects. Zhai Jundong paused, took a sip of tea, and a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, "It's easy to go to the doctor on sick leave." β
"You mean ......?"
"Didn't we just have a project that needs to be reviewed by the government?" After speaking, Zhai Jundong also felt much more comfortable, raised his hand to hold the woman's hand, "Okay, you can rest for a while." β
He took Xu Wanwan's hand, pulled her around the sofa, and sat next to him.
Xu Wanwan sat next to the man, her eyes moved slightly, and she smiled, "Then I'll let someone arrange it and find time to make an appointment with Meng Fengnan." β
β¦β¦
Accompanied by mountain masasteria.
Song Fancheng's bedroom.
He propped up the floor and did push-ups as he answered the phone.
"What do you say about the blood test over there?"
"Boss, it's him!" Zheng Yue said excitedly over there, "The blood test report from over there is no doubt that Qin Chu is the boy we are looking for!"
Song Fancheng let out an "um" and continued to do push-ups without stopping.
The phone call was a long silence.
"Hey, boss, when are we going to act?" Zheng Yue asked. Number Six
"How is Qin Qian's information?"
Speaking of Qin Qian, Zheng Yue paused, "Boss, you may be right, Qin Qian's information, we didn't find out so well. β
After the words fell, he thought for a while and added, "But the lynx said that in the next two days, he will pass on a true and reliable basic information to us." β
"What is basic information? I want more information about what I want. Song Fancheng said.
"This ......" Zheng Yue was also a little embarrassed, "It seems that the lynx said that since he checked Qin Qian, he encountered someone's obstruction for the first time." Moreover, it seems that there are some things that our clearance level does not seem to be enough, so there is no way for him to give you detailed information in such a short period of time. But he can guarantee that the information that came from him will be more reliable than the information we got before!"
Song Fancheng finished the last push-up and got up, beads of sweat rolling down on the tense texture of the muscles, leaving confusing traces, "Continue to investigate." β
"The sooner the better. "If you don't have any special background in Qin Qian, it's okay, I'm afraid there is.
Otherwise, in the future, after they take Qin Chu away, if they meet someone from Qin Qian's side, I am afraid that the task may be more arduous at that time.
Song Fancheng pulled the towel from the side, wiped his face, and put it around his neck.
The light-pigmented towel contrasts sharply with the wheat-colored skin and the swelling of the veins.
"By the way, you find time and let people discuss with the teachers of Qin Chu School, and we will find someone to do a comprehensive free physical examination for the students of their school. Song Fancheng commanded.
"Boss, what, I know you want Qin Chu's report, but we can take Qin Chu over for a physical examination, or we can go to the hospital to adjust the file, and then we can do a physical examination for Qin Chu alone, so do it, isn't the movement too big?" Zheng Yue felt that Song Fancheng was a little too careful this time, and he personally felt that this physical examination report was not very important. Moreover, no matter what the report is, it should not be of much use.
What I wanted over there was not Qin Chu's report.
"Qin Chu said that the last time he came to the army to draw blood, we took samples that time, and then Qin Qian saw it. Song Fancheng walked towards the bathroom, talking on the phone while taking off his clothes, "In order to avoid extraneous branches, the whole school can be confused." β
"Boss, you tell the truth, are you doing this for the task, or for Qin Chu, or for Qin Qian?" Song Fancheng took Qin Chu to the army before, and he always felt that something was wrong with Qin Chu's care.
This sentence made Song Fancheng suddenly stunned.
His muscular and powerful body was reflected in the mirror, the man's eyebrows were twisted together, and his drooping eyes hid the flickering strangeness under his eyes.
After a long, long time, Zheng Yue thought he was no longer online.
Song Fancheng suddenly asked: "Zheng Yue, do you think that Qin Qian is a bit like a person." β
Facing his brother who was born and died with him, Song Fancheng did not hide it.
Zheng Yue asked, "Who?"
Song Fancheng: "She." β
β¦β¦
Every weekend, no matter how busy he is, Qin Qian tries to spare one day as much as possible, and at least half a day, to accompany Qin Chu.
Go out for a walk with him, or take him to the science museum, museum, oceanarium that he wants to go.
"Qin Qian, let's go out today, can you bring Uncle Song with you?" Qin Chu held her hand, a pair of eyes reflecting her cheeks.
The little face suddenly looked bitter, "Uncle Song can only be home alone on weekends, so pitiful!"
Looking at the little guy's poor acting skills, Qin Qian smiled and shook his head, "Okay, as long as Xiao Chu is happy, it's okay." β
"Aren't you happy to take Uncle Song with you?" asked the little one.
It made Qin Qian stunned, was she happy? Or was the happiness in her heart so obvious?
Looking at the little guy's sparkling eyes, Qin Qian chuckled, "Happy, Xiao Chu is happy, and I'm happy too." β
Even if it is an acknowledgement, it can be regarded as a round round in the past.
"Uncle Song, I'll just say, if you were with us, Qin Qian would be very happy, right?" Qin Chu tilted his head with a smile and looked behind Qin Qian and said happily.
Qin Qian followed the little guy's gaze and turned his head into the deep eyes of the man who stood as straight as a pine behind her.
Did he hear it all?
She didn't seem to say anything indecent, did she?
Qin Qian thought about it carefully, as if there was none.
She took a deep breath and asked with a smile, "I don't know if you are free today, Xiao Chu wants to invite you to go to the Geological Museum with us." β
The man kept standing in place, staring at her, looking at Qin Qian a little uncomfortable.
She coughed lowly and looked away from the man, "That'...... If you're busy, it's okay, we're ......"
"Available. β
The man interrupted her, two words concise and direct.
So the three of them went to the geology museum.
In contrast, there are many, many fewer people going to the Geology Museum than to the Aquarium Science Museum.
There were only a few people in the huge hall, and it was as quiet as it is often written in compositions, and a sound could be heard when a needle hit the ground.
The light in the hall is very dim, and every time you go to a display table, the sensor light is lit up.
Originally, there was a somewhat gloomy geology museum, but it was played by Qin Chu very much, and it was rare to jump and walk back and forth in front of the display cabinets.
Probably because there are few people here, Qin Chu can let it go.
Seeing Qin Chu coming from the opposite side, with every step he took, the lights turned on.
It reminded her of the picture on TV, and it became much more interesting.
In addition, Song Fancheng seems to know these geological crystals very well, in addition to the original introduction above, he also explained to Qin Chu and popularized a lot of knowledge, he spoke seriously, and Qin Chu listened to it with relish.
Qin Qian, on the other hand, sounds a little boring about this knowledge.
However, the various crystals in this geological museum are indeed very beautiful.
She stood not far away, following the two of them slowly.
Looking at the large and small amethyst facing in front of him, Qin Qian could see the light shining in Qin Chu's eyes.
She always knew that no matter how sensible Qin Chu was, she also needed a father.
It's just that her failed marriage has no way to give it to him.
But at this moment, Song Fancheng can give it to him, just like he can give himself peace of mind that others can never give.
I don't know why, a sentence popped up in Qin Qian's mind.
Is it that the three of them who came out of the earthquake are destined to be from all over the world, no matter how long and far apart, they will always come together again.
"Qin Qian, look, that's the Pearl of the Night!" the little guy pointed to a display case in front of him, and in the center of the room, he pulled Song Fancheng to trot forward, "It's so big!"
It's really big.
The pearl of the night, a person who opens his arms and embraces it, can't be embraced.
There were no lights around it, but the whole hall was not dim under its fluorescent green light, but lingered with a hazy tenderness, which dispelled the coldness of the hall.
Qin Qian was also the first time to see such a big night pearl.
She stopped and looked quietly at the pearl of the night, emitting light, as if she could guide those who walked forward in the darkness.
Song Fancheng explained to Qin Chu the ingredients of the Night Pearl and a series of processes.
Looking up, looking at the woman standing tall, through the hazy light, looking at the past, she was more gentle.
She stood quietly, like a clear lotus, standing gracefully in the waves.
It is like an epiphany in the thick of the night, so beautiful that it is moving, as if it carries light.
Those eyes, like the pearls of the night, bloom with their own light, can penetrate the night, and can be engraved in people's hearts.
The man stood opposite the woman, separated by a huge pearl of the night.
It was still dark around, but there was light in front of the two of them.
It's like the night after the earthquake, it was dark, dilapidated, and barren, but when I met that pair of eyes, it was like a beam of light, which could illuminate the bottom of the other party's heart.
Song Fancheng asked Qin Chu in the morning when Qin Qian hadn't come yet, "Do you know that Qin Qian encountered an earthquake nine years ago?"
At that time, Qin Chu replied: "Nine years ago, there was no me. β
After hearing this, he was stunned at first, and then he was so stupid that he smiled bitterly, what happened to him, he actually asked a six-year-old child about nine years ago.
And at this moment, he didn't seem to have to ask, those eyes, he thought he wouldn't admit it.
In nine years, he had never seen such a pair of eyes in the eyes of others.
It's her!
She's her!
Song Fancheng didn't expect that he would take on this ridiculous task with dissatisfaction, and lead him to find the owner of those eyes!
"Wow, there's still one over here!" Seeing the other night pearls next to him, Qin Chu turned around and went to another place.
Leave two people and stand facing each other.
In the end, it was Song Fancheng who moved first, he strode forward and walked towards Qin Qian.
It seems that every step has crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and passed time.
But when in front of the woman, Song Fancheng suddenly remembered one thing - she was married!
The heart beating wildly like a drum, in an instant, like a wind and snow transiting, everything withered.
β¦β¦
When Qin Qian returned to the Huzhou Peninsula, she went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water, and Zhai Junlin was making coffee in the kitchen.
This was the first time the two met after the reception.
The two, one holding a water cup and the other holding coffee, looked at each other, and were speechless for a while.
It's ridiculous for a couple to do their job.
"Have you eaten?" Qin Qian asked.
"Eat. Zhai Junlin replied.
"Oh. Qin Qian nodded, pursed his lips, and looked at the direction of the door, "Then I'll go back to the room first." β
With that, she turned and left, trying to escape.
But he was stopped by Zhai Junlin, "Qin Qian." β
She was in shape.
Slowly turned around, looked at the man, and heard him say, "Last night......"
As soon as Zhai Junlin spoke, he was interrupted by Qin Qian, "Last night, what you heard is true, in terms of blood relationship, I am Meng Fengnan's daughter, but in terms of law, it is no longer so." β
"I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I didn't feel the need to say it because you didn't ask. If you feel that I have been hiding from you for so long and you are dissatisfied, I apologize to you. β
"Even though he is the mayor, I am not his daughter anymore, and it will not be of much help to your Zhai family. And I won't be kind to him, and it's very likely that I will cause trouble for the Zhai family because of me. So, I hope it doesn't affect our divorce. β
Zhai Junlin opened his mouth, and the last sentence stuck in his throat was swallowed, and he only nodded and pursed his lips to make a "um" in a nasal voice.
The phrase "thank you for last night's honey water and porridge" was never spoken.
He watched Qin Qian leave, feeling that she would also disappear completely.
