Chapter 6: The Pledge
Although Guo Haodong was urged by his parents to return to China for a different reason than Yang Nannan, he was not as serious as 'his father was critically ill', but he was also troubled by a very serious excuse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It turned out that his mother, Li Suqin, personally called him and told him: "Haodong, there is a very urgent matter that requires you to come back immediately." ”
Guo Haodong asked in surprise at the time: "Mom, what is it that makes you so anxious to urge me to go back?" ”
Li Suqin obviously didn't want to talk about it right away, but she wanted her son to feel the incomparable importance of his return, so she said pretending to be mysterious: "Haodong, don't ask more." But your return may save the life of a dying old man. ”
Guo Haodong was puzzled: "How can there be such a thing, I am not a life-saving medicine." ”
Li Suqin said very solemnly: "Haodong, sometimes spiritual medicine can cure diseases and save people. You are studying medicine, and the research projects are all about curing diseases and saving people. Therefore, you must know how to soothe the soul of a person who will soon be alive. ”
Guo Haodong's head was a little dizzy, and he felt unbelievable: "Mom, don't fool me." How could such a thing happen? Who the hell is that person? ”
Li Suqin still sells guanzi to her son: "When did your mother cheat on you?" As for who needs your spiritual comfort, it will be completely clear as soon as you return to your home country. ”
Guo Haodong felt that his mother's naughty words contained a kind of solemnity, which made him puzzled in every way.
However, he was embarrassed on the phone: "Mom, although I have finished my studies, I still have some things to deal with." I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little longer..."
"Haodong..." Li Suqin interrupted, "No matter what you do, you have to let it go and immediately return to China to 'save people'." I'm not kidding you. ”
Guo Haodong couldn't help but be stunned. After he ended the call with his mother, he felt at a loss, who had such great expectations of him?
Because Guo Haodong had just fallen in love with Chen Lanlan, he was naturally reluctant to return to China immediately. He hoped to deepen his relationship with Chen Lanlan a little more, although he fell in love with Chen Lanlan at first sight, and read from Chen Lanlan's eyes that the other party was also in love with him. But love is not a fast food after all, it needs to accumulate the emotions of both men and women. That's why Guo Haodong has a reluctant complex for Chen Lanlan.
"Lan Lan, I have some urgent matters in the country, I'm afraid I can't continue to accompany you here." As soon as Guo Haodong saw Chen Lanlan, he said with a heavy heart.
Chen Lanlan was shocked, and then said disapprerovitically: "Since you have something, just go back." Who needs you to stay with me? ”
Guo Haodong's heart moved, although Chen Lanlan's speech seemed indifferent, but the tone was actually a kind of loss and reluctance.
He knew that Chen Lanlan was talking about anger, so he hurriedly said: "Lanlan, I am reluctant to leave you." I think we've only been together for a few days, so how can we have endless words to talk to you..."
"Haodong!" Chen Lanlan said sadly, "Please don't say it again." I actually have a boyfriend. He has done so much for me. I didn't want to provoke you again. However, since the first time I saw you, I couldn't help it. Maybe you can give me a great sense of security. My heart is so confused, if you leave like this, maybe the best way for us to end our relationship. ”
When Guo Haodong heard this, he immediately impulsively took Chen Lanlan into his arms, and said emotionally: "Lanlan, I love you, and I know that you love me too." Although the time we spent together was very short, I knew that we could be inseparable relatives in this life. You are a girl of knowledge, you should know what type of partner you need, and you should also know that gratitude is not love, if you marry that gentleman in China with a heart to repay your kindness, I am afraid that you will not be happy in this life. So, please don't say to me easily, okay? ”
Chen Lanlan listened to Guo Haodong's words, couldn't help but have mixed feelings, buried her pretty face in Guo Haodong's broad chest, and let her tears soak his clothes.
Guo Haodong also held her silently for a long time. He suddenly thought of something and couldn't help asking, "Lan Lan, is that black man still pestering you?" ”
Chen Lanlan first corrected: "Don't always call him 'black'. People have names, and they're called Hunter. ”
Guo Haodong said with some jealousy: "You are quite protective of him." ”
Chen Lanlan broke free from Guo Haodong's arms at this time, and said very seriously: "Although I don't like him, it doesn't mean that we can despise him. Because we are quality intellectuals. ”
Guo Haodong was stunned, and couldn't help but be in awe of the girl in front of him.
He nodded hurriedly: "You're right. What I just said was a bit rude to people. ”
Chen Lanlan saw that his attitude was very solemn, and couldn't help but smile: "You are a good young man who knows his mistakes and corrects them." ”
As soon as Guo Haodong saw her bright smiling face, he felt that the blood on his body was almost boiling. But he can still hold himself, because he wants to be a quality man.
He went back to the same topic: "That Mr. Hunt didn't bother you anymore, did he?" ”
Chen Lanlan shook her head: "I used to be very scared of him, but now I feel that he is actually a good man." Ever since he decided that you and I were boyfriend and girlfriend, he has treated me with a lot of respect. In front of me, I am trying to praise you for being a personable man. ”
After Guo Haodong heard this, he couldn't help but be proud and curious: "Why were you afraid of him before?" ”
Chen Lanlan did not answer directly, but told a story: "I heard that a story happened in this school more than ten years ago. There is a Chinese girl who is studying here, but she is pestered by a boy studying abroad in another country. Since the girl didn't deal with it. As a result, because the foreign boy couldn't pursue it, he hated because of love, and finally took that girl..."
When Chen Lanlan talked about this, she couldn't go on. However, she concluded that Guo Haodong would know what would happen next.
When Guo Haodong heard this, he couldn't help but sink in his heart, and after thinking for a long time, he said to Chen Lanlan: "I left a girl like you in a foreign country, and I really have ten thousand worries in my heart. But please rest assured, when I return to China and take care of everything, I will definitely fly back again to protect you to complete your studies. ”
When Chen Lanlan heard this, although she was very moved, she was still very funny: "I am really flattered that you are a dignified doctoral student who wants to be my little girl's companion." ”
Guo Haodong also smiled: "Look at what you said." In the face of love, there is no distinction between high and low men and women who love each other. If I accompany you through your studies, it will be a great joy in your life. ”
Chen Lanlan smiled: "Haodong, what you mean by 'high and low' does not only refer to your high degree, but also to your family. After all, you are a second-generation official, and I am just a farmer's daughter. So, you don't want me to have an inferiority complex, do you? ”
Guo Haodong scratched his head embarrassedly, then raised his head and said solemnly: "Regarding our origin, we can't choose. However, we can choose to be with the person we like. We can make decisions about our own lives. ”
Chen Lanlan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay." Then I'll wait for you to show your sincerity. ”
Guo Haodong said confidently: "Please rest assured. As soon as I returned to China, I told my parents about the two of us. I will definitely try to come back with you again. ”
"Haodong don't." Chen Lanlan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "You are a man, you can't indulge your energy in the love of your children." As long as you can show your skills in your career, it is the best concern for me. I wouldn't be studying abroad for too long. As long as you are sincere to me, then we look forward to the day when we meet in China. ”
Guo Haodong nodded happily and said, "Okay." If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight? I will always wait for you. And it will also help you take care of your loved ones back home. ”
After Chen Lanlan heard Guo Haodong's words, her eyes couldn't help but moisten, and she nodded vigorously.
The day before Guo Haodong returned to China, he specially asked Chen Lanlan to see the sea.
He took her little hand and strolled on the beach...
"Lan Lan, you will return to China in less than a year. It's a tough time for us. But we will definitely overcome the long time and sublimate our love. Guo Haodong hugged Chen Lanlan and said emotionally.
Chen Lanlan also nodded: "Yes." Nowadays communication is developed. Radio waves can change the distance between people from the end of the world to the distance between people. ”
"Hmm." Guo Haodong nodded in agreement: "I heard a writer say that online dating can also interpret an unforgettable love. Although we can't be together day and night in this year. But our emotions must also be sublimated through online dating. In fact, the two of us are now an inseparable couple. ”
Chen Lanlan blinked her big eyes: "Haodong, although I have been with him (my domestic boyfriend) for a few years, my relationship with him is to rely on Hongyan to pass on the book." Although he cared about me, I didn't feel much about him. But after just a few days with you, my heart was completely conquered by you. Now, facing the sea, can we interpret a love that vows and alliances? ”
Guo Haodong immediately clenched her little hand and shouted loudly into the depths of the tide: "I love Chen Lanlan until the sea is dry and the stones are rotten." ”
Seeing this, Chen Lanlan also echoed emotionally: "God testifies that I, Chen Lanlan, will love this man next to me for the rest of my life, until death." ”
"Lan Lan!" Guo Haodong was excited again and took her into his arms.
Guo Haodong reluctantly left Chen Lanlan in this way and embarked on the journey back to China...
However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he met his parents, he was told that his marriage had been finalized by them.
Guo Haodong was shocked and couldn't help complaining to his mother: "Are you mistaken?" Didn't I tell you the other day that I had found a girlfriend? Why are you interfering in my personal matters? ”
Li Suqin felt that she had deceived her son, and she felt a little uneasy, so she said embarrassedly: "Haodong, you and that girl have only known each other for a few days after all, and they will not have too deep feelings." Besides, she was an ordinary peasant girl after all. This is not the right one for our family in Yemen. So, you have to go with that girl. ”
"Mom!" Guo Haodong said angrily, "You are still a high-level intellectual, how can you have such a secular concept?" Do you think that because you have a high social status, you can put your son on the high? ”
Guo Tai, who had been speechless, finally couldn't help but speak: "Haodong, why do you talk about your mother like that?" Neither she nor I are selfish people. Don't you know us? ”
Guo Haodong sneered: "Yes, I know you will say this, all this is for me." I hope I understand your intentions. ”
Unexpectedly, Guo Tai shook his head and said, "We didn't say that. ”
Guo Haodong was surprised: "Since it's not for me, who is it for?" ”
Guo Tai didn't answer directly, but asked tentatively: "Do you remember Yang Chongqi?" ”
Guo Haodong smiled indifferently: "He is not the secretary of the Jidong Municipal Party Committee, who doesn't know this?" ”
Guo Tai was stunned for a moment, and then asked again: "He is my old superior, and he has always liked you." Have you forgotten everything? ”
Guo Haodong shook his head indifferently: "How can I forget? I remember you taking me to his house. ”
Guo Tai's eyes lit up: "Do you still remember this incident?" Do you remember his daughter Nan Nan? ”
Guo Haodong recalled for a moment, and then questioned: "Do you want me to marry that little girl?" ”
Li Suqin laughed beside her: "She has grown up a long time ago and has become a big girl." ”
Guo Haodong smiled bitterly: "You really want me to climb the high branches." But she's at least five or six years younger than me. I hadn't seen her in years, and I didn't feel anything for her at all. ”
Guo Tai said with a solemn expression at this time: "Your mother and I persuaded you to marry Nan Nan, but it is definitely not to use you to climb high branches. Because Secretary Yang is about to retire, and he is already suffering from advanced stomach cancer. ”
Guo Haodong was stunned: "Then what is your purpose for asking me to marry Nan Nan?" ”
"For Secretary Yang to close his eyes." Guo Tai explained, "Nan Nan is a middle-aged daughter of an old secretary. Therefore, he is most at ease with this child, and plans to entrust his beloved daughter to his favorite man when he is dying. ”
Guo Haodong was surprised: "Did he take a fancy to me?" ”
