Chapter 171: A Belated Reunion

Xu Ziyan smiled: "Hmm...... Let me start with a personal question for you. May I? ”

Ruojun looked at Mrs. Chen, and then at Shu Zhi behind him, and nodded a little nervously.

Xu Ziyan said softly: "You...... Are you married? ”

Ruojun is even more strange, this Xu Ziyan has not seen him for more than ten years, why did he ask his marriage question as soon as he came out today.

"I didn't ...... There is no ......"

"Ha, that's great, that's great!" Xu Ziyan clapped his hands.

Ruojun is even more confused, is it worth being happy that he is not married? She turned her head to look at Mrs. Chen behind the counter, Mrs. Chen frowned, with a helpless and embarrassed face, kept shaking her head, looked at Shu Zhi, and sighed lightly.

Xu Ziyan smiled and said, "There is an old man who came from afar who wants to meet you. He was in the little attic at this moment. ”

As soon as he said this, Ruojun and Shu Zhi were shocked, Ruojun is heart was suddenly stuck in his throat, and he was about to jump out, and Shu Zhi's face suddenly turned white, his hands clenched into fists, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Yes...... Who? Ruojun almost bit his tongue and spit out the words.

"Go up and see for yourself. He's been waiting for you all afternoon. ”

Ruojun glanced back at Shu Zhi, and the two glanced at each other hurriedly, and they seemed to already know the answer in their hearts.

Could it be him? Will it? How could it be him?

The old wooden staircase, emitting the familiar "crunch" sound, just like more than ten years ago, Ruojun slowly, step by step up, her heart with the footsteps, but also more and more heavy, the original short ten steps, she seemed to have walked for half a century...... Finally, she stood in front of the little attic full of memories and ambiguities.

She was just about to raise her hand and knock on the door, when a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar, long awaited, came from inside: "Come in." ”

She felt like she was dying, her heart was beating so fast, so fast, so fast that it might stop suddenly...... She took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and walked inside.

The familiar, upright, midnight dream back a thousand times, standing in front of the window a few steps away from herself, for a moment she thought she was in a dream, she pinched her arm, it turned out that everything was true, it was true, he was back! God, he's back!

Instead of turning around, he put the cigarette between his fingers into his mouth, and the smoke enveloped him.

He was wearing a custom-made suit, and the perfect cut set off his slender and handsome figure like a green pine and cypress.

She felt that the world was spinning, how could it be? How can it be? How could he appear in front of his eyes, no, it must be a dream, it must be a dream. She leaned against the wall and kept saying to herself, trying to calm herself down.

"Are you okay? Ruojun. He asked faintly, and continued to spit out clouds.

"How so? How so? She kept shaking her head and asking herself questions over and over again.

He turned slowly, and he finally saw her, but she couldn't see him clearly, because tears had long since clouded everything in front of him, and in these tears there were not only longing, excitement, shock, but also remorse, fear, and overwhelm.

He didn't rush up to hug her and kiss her, he just stood there quietly and looked at her, how could their reunion be like this?

Many years ago, their reunion on Jinyun Mountain was not like this, when they only used two sentences to resolve the alienation and embarrassment between each other, he opened his arms, and she threw herself into his arms.

But this time...... Something seems to have changed.

Yes, this change happened just ten minutes ago, if it weren't for Ruikang pushing open the window, if it weren't for Ruikang seeing the handsome guy riding a bike, if it wasn't for Ruikang seeing her smiling sweetly on the back seat of the bicycle, maybe he would still open his arms like he did back then, but he saw that handsome and handsome young man and her happy smile, and the windmill in her hand......

So, everything changed, he was shocked, he hesitated, he was sad......

His appearance also surprised her very much, he combed his handsome back, exposed a full and smooth forehead, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, made him look mature and elegant, there was a faint scar on his cheek, and two beautiful mustaches on his upper lip, he had changed a lot from many years ago, but he was still beautiful and chic.

The suit, tie, and shiny leather shoes made him look foreign and noble, and as many years ago, she was still as cold as old in front of him. She sighed with a sour sigh that she had never matched him.

Back then, he was the second young master of the Zhou family, he was a poor person who had to rely on his marriage in exchange for food and clothing for his family, and later he was a college student who pursued his ideals, and he was just a little daughter-in-law who succumbed to the words of the matchmaker, and then he was an anti-Japanese hero, a senior officer, and he was just a widowed mountain village woman, and now he is famous, rich and rivals the country, and he is still working for his livelihood.

They were never equal, and in his presence she always seemed like a wretched creature, a poor woman in need of salvation, and she sat on the bed with her back to him, trying to calm herself, and she knew that if she stood there again, she would faint.

But even if she turned her back on him, she was just as painful, how could this be? If I hadn't started with Shu Zhi, maybe today's reunion would be a very touching and heartfelt scene, but Shu Zhi was downstairs, and she had just been with him and me all day, and she couldn't pull her feelings back to many years ago for a while.

"I don't think it's time for me to come back." He laughed to himself, "I saw that young man carrying you on a bicycle." ”

She was silent.

"It's good that you've found your happiness......"

Don't say it, don't say it......" She covered her ears and shook her head desperately.

"Okay." He walked over to the old, discolored wardrobe and touched the painted wooden door, and smiled, "I repaired this door." ”

He sighed, "Ahem...... How nice it would be if you could wait for me to come back that day and let me go back with you? ”

"It's all gone. If you had come back yesterday, maybe everything would have been different. But there are no ifs. She lowered her head and muttered, "How many days can you stay?" She asked, choking up.

"Seven days." He replied, his brow furrowed.

She nodded, biting her trembling lower lip.

"I'll be back from school later."

"Ziyan has already sent someone to pick him up from school."

"Oh." Ruojun nodded.

The words of their reunion were so boring.

Seven days, they only have seven days, these seven days may be the last time they get together, is she still angry with him and sad in the last seven days? No, after so many years of lovesickness, she didn't want to let the precious seven days disappear in the estrangement.

She suddenly stood up, walked up to him, looked at him, she wanted to see him, yes, she had to remember him, he came back to see herself so hard, she must have looked at him better, carefully, little by little, remembered everything about him. But she didn't dare to touch him, she was not qualified, she would rather admire him like a famous painting.

He looked at her the same way, and didn't dare to touch her, because she already had a new lover, and he didn't want to destroy her happiness, but he also thought in his heart, he wanted to look at her carefully, every eyelash, even the faint little spot on his face, he had to keep it in his heart. Because they only have seven days.

But their eyes were finally entangled, they looked at each other, each other's appearance changed slightly, but the deep love in their eyes was still the same, she had always understood his eyes, just like the moment in the carriage. He still loved her, and the lava in his heart was still burning for her.

However, he is no longer the reckless second young master of the Zhou family back then, he resisted the urge to hug her and kiss her. Reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Who is that young man?" Can I get acquainted? He finally couldn't restrain the unwillingness in his heart.

Ruojun turned her eyes away, sighed, helplessly, self-deprecatingly, and laughed sadly, because she felt that she was so ridiculous, and God made a joke with them again, how could she go out to climb the mountain with Shu Zhi today?

"Don't worry, now that you've found your home, I won't bother you. After I met Nian'an, I would go back to England as soon as possible. I'm just ...... Curious. He said.

"It's Shu Zhi......"

"What?! Shu Zhi! "Ruikang thinks there's something wrong with his ears, Shu Zhi? How so? He couldn't help but laugh and laughed: "Heh, Shu Zhi? How can it be? Ruojun, you're not kidding, are you? He...... He's ten years younger than you! ”

"I know, I think it's ridiculous." Ruojun bit his lip and said.

"Oh my God! Ha! What kind of crazy world is this, the child I saved on the street back then, has become my rival today?! This is a great irony. Ruikang stretched out his hand and couldn't suppress a bitter smile to the sky.

"Ruojun, tell me, this is not true. How would you? How did you fall in love with Shu Zhi? ”

Ruikang suddenly lost control of his emotions, grabbed Ruojun, and asked her: "Maybe it's me who is bad, it's me who handed him over to you to raise, but how could you, how could you?" Ruojun told me, are you really in love with him? Don't you love me anymore? ”

She saw the fire of love rising again in his eyes, God, she has always loved him, but she is not worthy of loving him, nor is she worthy of his love.

"Ruojun, I really can't stand it, we have been separated for so many years, we have experienced so much, and it has always been either you married or I am married, but now, I have divorced Jiaqi, I have brought the divorce certificate, you are also single, seeing that all the hardships are going to pass, why, how could there be a Meng Shuzhi again? Sky! Ruikang pressed his swollen temples in pain.

"I know that I am not by your side, you must have suffered a lot, I can't blame you for empathy, or marry someone else, you need someone to take care of you and love you, I understand all this. But...... But...... I'm not reconciled. His lava finally couldn't help but erupt: "We have suffered so much, how can there be a Meng Shuzhi in the end?" He circled around the room angrily.

She hid her face and wept: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" she kept repeating.

He couldn't help but hug her, and she returned to his arms very naturally, as if she was going home, wrapped her arms around his waist tightly, and buried her face in his chest.

The plum blossom he had dreamed of was back in his arms, and he kissed her forehead, and they hugged each other very tightly.

"Tell me, Ruojun, do you still love me?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I love you. Though I know I don't deserve to love you and don't deserve your love. But Ruikang, I love you. ”

The lava in his chest rolled again, cupped her face, and stared at her: "What about Shu Zhi?" ”

Ruojun cried very sadly, very sadly, and said: "I don't know, just like if you ask me if I love Ding Xiaohui or your eldest brother, I don't know, I'm a very confused person, they are all very good to me, I think I like them very much, I am very grateful to them, and maybe I love them." But I couldn't answer. ”

She raised her eyes to look at him: "But if you ask me if I love Zhou Ruikang, I know the answer so clearly in my heart, yes, I love Zhou Ruikang, I love him." ”

As back then, he looked at each other as if he heard the sounds of heaven again, still like that thunderstorm night back then, his arm was tightly closed, he lowered his head, and kissed her on the lips, without half a point of compulsion, embarrassment, hesitation, she immediately responded positively to him.

They exchanged breaths, exchanged thoughts, exchanged hearts, they kissed each other lingeringly, crying while kissing, and kept saying "I love you" to each other while kissing. "I miss you."

Ruojun grabbed his neck: "What should we do, Ruikang, what should we do?" ”

Ruikang pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed, sat down on the chair opposite her, took out the plum handkerchief from her suit pocket, and gently wiped the tears from her face.

Ruojun looked at the handkerchief and was very moved: "You have always carried it with you?" ”

"Yes. This is my most precious thing. ”

She stared blankly at him, caressing his face. He took her hand and said, "Ruojun, since my mind has not changed, then I will tell you about my plan to come this time." ”

"What's the plan?"

"I'm going to take you and Nian An to England."

"To England?" Ruojun's eyes widened at the boss, looking at him incredulously.

"Yes, listen to me, let's go to Hong Kong first, register our marriage in Hong Kong, and after I finish dealing with the affairs in Hong Kong, we will leave for England together. I have a manor house in England with a lot of flowers, a bed of red roses, and I also plant a plum grove, these are all gifts that I have for you, and you will love it. ”

Ruojun's eyes seemed to see a sea of flowers, a beautiful scenery, she blinked her eyelashes slightly, and listened to him continue to tell: "In the past ten years, I have been vigorous enough, marching, speaking, and going to the battlefield, surviving in the rain of bullets, crawling out of the pile of dead people, and now I am also very comforted to see that China has a new atmosphere." But you also know that my current identity is very sensitive, and if it weren't for Ziyan helping me, I wouldn't have been able to come back at all.

No matter how successful my career was, I never enjoyed the joy of family. Ruojun, come with me. Ziyan will help us, in the UK and COSCO, he has been helping me take care of my assets and business.

Ruojun, come with me, the suffering is over, my father has accepted your mother and son before he died, and he has prepared a valuable gift for you and Nian'an, which I am currently stored in the safe of the Hong Kong bank. He kissed her finger: "Ruojun, I can't lose your mother and son anymore, it's been more than eight years, no, it's been almost sixteen years since the day I went to marry you." Even if God wants to test us and punish us, it is enough. ”

"So, now, tell me, would you like to come with me?" He held her face and looked into her eyes.

She looked at his clear eyes for a long time, burst into tears and smiled, "Of course she does." It's just that I can't give up Shu Zhi, and we have relied on each other for many years. ”

Ruikang smiled bitterly and said, "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will talk to him." ”

"You talk to him? One of you is gunpowder and the other is a bomb......"

"Hehe, don't worry, we men have a man's way of communication, and I know Shu Zhi's temper." He smiled and closed his eyes.

"There is one more thing, Hu ......" Ruojun had not finished speaking, and there was a shout from a child downstairs: "Mother! Mother! ……”
