CHAPTER XXII

By the end of October, after a few strong winds cooled down, there was already the coolness of late autumn. Feng Shao texted me to ask if he wanted to go to the beach for a few days and help him celebrate his birthday by the way.

Of course, I remember Feng Shao's birthday, and I also remember the joke he made on my grandfather's birthday. So I sent him a text like this, "Feng, I want you to be the person in my life, from the first to the last, start to finish!"

Feng Shao's reply was only a few words, "You are the one!"

It is often said that if there is nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world. We lived a carefree time at the beach, we stayed in a villa, rented a boat to go out to sea during the day, and lay shoulder to shoulder on the deck, soaking up the sun. When you return in the evening, you will return with a full load, taking the spoils of sea fishing with you and tasting the delicious food you have cooked yourself.

Finally, on Feng Shao's birthday, I dressed up carefully, changed into a white fishtail lace dress, and tied a bow with a red ribbon on my right wrist. When I appeared in front of him, I saw a look of amazement in his eyes.

He looked me up and down and said, "Looks like there's one thing missing!"

I looked at myself and said, "This dress is so tight, there's nothing to add to it." ”

At this time, Feng Shao suddenly walked behind me, I felt a chill on my neck, I looked down and found that there was an extra heart-shaped diamond necklace around my neck.

Feng Shao gently hugged me and said, "I may be born weak, and I don't like anything in particular, except for you." This is never to be taken off!"

The two of us cut the cake and drank champagne together. I was extremely nervous about what I was going to say next, and after hesitating again and again, I finally mustered up the courage to say to Feng Shao, "Feng, happy birthday, I also have a gift for you!"

Feng Shao looked at me with a smile and asked, "What is it? so mysterious!"

I imprinted a kiss on his cheek and took his hand and placed it on the bow in his right hand, "Please come and open your birthday present!"

He looked at me in disbelief, "You, have you really thought about it?"

I nodded, and we hugged each other face to face, our heads pressed against each other, and the moonlight quietly sprinkled on the two of us, as if I didn't want to disturb the sweetness of the moment.......

When I woke up the next day, Feng Shaozheng looked at me affectionately, I felt a little shy, and quietly pulled up the corner of the quilt to cover my face, "Morning!" I sent out a greeting from the quilt.

Feng Shao took off the quilt and imprinted a kiss on my forehead, "Thank you for giving me such a precious gift." We'll get engaged when we get back, and we'll get married as soon as you graduate!, okay?" "Hmm!" I nodded obediently.

After returning to Yicheng, Feng Shao immediately took me to meet his parents. Since I had already met Mayor He before, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous knowing that he was not very supportive of my relationship with Feng Shao.

The weather was getting cooler, so I wore a pale pink knitted skirt to make myself look better, and bought a few imported fruits for a fruit basket.

After meeting Feng Shao's parents, Feng Shao said straight to the point, "Dad, Mom, I want to get engaged to Yu Qiao next month." ”

Hearing this, Feng Shao's mother turned her gaze to Mayor He, as if asking Mayor He's opinion. Mayor He glanced at us from behind his glasses and said, "Let's all sit down first!"

Mayor He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea unhurriedly before he spoke, "Originally, you young people are in love, and we as elders should not interfere." But Yu Qiao, you haven't graduated from college yet, and whether you stay in Yicheng or BJ after graduation, it's not too late to settle down and talk about marriage first. If the two of you are still willing to be together, then the two parents will sit down and talk, what do you think?"

Mayor He's words are ambiguous and leaky, which means that whether I can marry Feng Shao or not, everything is still unknown.

Feng Shao didn't seem to be satisfied with Mayor He's answer, he was still trying to turn the situation around, "Dad, I like Yu Qiao, I don't want anyone to ...... except her"

I quickly interrupted Feng Shao's words, "Uncle is right, we are too young to think about it! I also agree to wait a little longer!"

I don't want Feng Shao's father and son to quarrel because of me, that will only make Mayor He more disgusted with me. Although Mayor He's answer was a little disappointing to me, at least he didn't directly refuse, which means that I still have a chance. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up, because I want to be with the person I love forever.

After that, we went to Feng's grandparents' house a few times, and my grandfather liked to let me teach him to play computer games, and my grandmother liked to compete with me in cooking. I also learned how to make bird's nest and white fungus soup from my grandmother, who was full of praise for me after tasting it.

In fact, Feng Shao's grandparents still like me very much, if it weren't for that sudden change, maybe we would have been so happy forever.

I will never forget that day, on December 20, 2012, five days before Christmas, a big event happened in Yicheng, the No. 1 site nursing home project planned by the municipal government had a serious construction foundation collapse accident, resulting in 5 deaths and 11 injuries, 5 of which were seriously injured.

This incident alarmed the leaders of the provincial party committee, and the provincial government formed a special team to conduct a detailed investigation into the cause of the incident.

After investigation, it was found that the qualifications of the construction party that won the bid were incomplete, and even the most basic safety production license was not available. The leaders of the provincial party committee were shocked, and suspended the person in charge of the project and the relevant leaders of the Land and Resources Bureau, and launched a "net clearing" operation on the black box operation in the real estate project.

I vaguely remembered the person Feng Shao and I had met at the China World Hotel, as if I had mentioned some nursing home project, and I felt uneasy in my heart, this matter must not have anything to do with Mayor He and Feng Shao.

I took out my mobile phone to call Feng Shao, but the voice on the other end of the phone receiver was "I'm sorry, the phone you made has been turned off".

The uneasiness in my heart further expanded, and I took out my mobile phone to edit the text message to Feng Shao, "Feng, are you busy? "But the phone was silent all night in my anxious waiting.

The next day, as soon as I woke up, I quickly took out my phone to look at missed calls and unread messages, but there was nothing on the screen. This hasn't happened since I knew him. Feng Shao, where the hell have you been?Why don't you contact me!

On the third day after I lost contact with Feng Shao, I couldn't help the torment and panic in my heart, and cried and said to Peggy, "Peggy, Feng Shao is missing, what should I do? Maybe he's really busy?"

On the fifth day, I took a taxi to the airport villa, hoping to meet Feng Shao, but the result was a big disappointment. It was pitch black in the villa, and it didn't look like someone was at home. I shouted twice outside the door, "Feng, are you home?"

At this time, a fluffy snowball ran to the edge of the fence, "Meow, meow!" It was "Qiao Feng", I carefully took it out of the gap in the fence, put my face on its furry back, and tears fell on the cat, "Qiao Feng, Dad is missing, he doesn't want you, and he doesn't want Mom!"

I took "Qiao Feng" back to school, and the school did not allow pets, so I could only temporarily foster them in a pet store outside the school.

The cat didn't seem to have eaten properly for a few days, and devoured a large pot full of cat food. My nose was sour, I was in such a hurry to do something, I didn't even want "Qiao Feng".

I went back to school listlessly and learned for the first time what it was like to lose my soul. My intuition told me that Feng Shao's sudden disappearance was more or less related to the landslide, and I began to open news websites to follow the latest reports of the incident, hoping to find a clue from it, and I have never cared more about current affairs than I do now.

After about five days, the focus began to shift to other incidents due to the prompt response of the government. At this time, ten days have passed since I lost contact with Feng Shao, and his WeChat status has not been updated. And the first thing I do when I wake up every day is to check my phone text messages.

On the eleventh day, the phone rang suddenly, I nervously picked up the phone to see, it turned out to be Feng Shao's call, my excited hands were a little trembling, pressed the answer button, Feng Shao's voice came from inside, "Girl, I'm back, where are you?"

I started sobbing and crying over here, and his anxious voice came over there, "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

I said intermittently, "Do you know, I can't find you, I'm so scared!"

When Feng Shao appeared in front of me, I rushed into his arms with tears in my eyes and slapped him on the back a few times, hating him for saying goodbye. Feng Shao also hugged me tightly, and the strength made me feel a little painful in my bones.

It seems that everything has returned to calm, but I vaguely feel something unusual, that is, Feng Shao's words suddenly popped up once, "Yu Qiao, if one day I can't be by your side to take care of you, you have to live a strong and happy life, you know?"
