On the second day, after hurriedly explaining the reason to Guo Xu, Su Junyan was about to leave Guojiazhuang with Li Zhenzhen.

After more than ten years of separation, he reunited with his beloved daughter, Guo Xu was naturally reluctant, so he proposed to let Li Zhenzhen stay in Guojiazhuang for a few more days, and then he would send someone to escort her back to Huichi.

Hearing this, Su Junyan let Li Zhenzhen decide for herself. Because according to his arrangement, he would let her stay in Jiangcheng for a few days first, and then let the people in the mansion welcome her back. So if she wanted to stay a few more days with her father, who had some college connections, she wouldn't have to. After all, he still has someone here to deal with the aftermath, so naturally he can protect her.

After pondering for a moment, Li Zhenzhen had already made a decision in her heart. She has been under her mother's wing since she was a child, and she knows that her mother's feelings for Guo Xu are extremely complicated, so she can't be intimate with the biological father in front of her for the time being. Instead of staying together awkwardly, it's better to leave first.

And Jiang Cheng is much closer to Huichi, even if she can't be by Su Junyan's side, she likes to be close to him. Because that way, her heart will settle down a little.

"Master Guo, thank you for your kind stay. However, this time, I'll go back with Brother Junyan first. After all, we are leaving in private, lest some people find something abnormal. If I come to Guojiazhuang next time, I will definitely have to stay longer. Because this idyllic scenery is indeed safe and tranquil, and it is rare."

Seeing Li Zhenzhen's refusal, Guo Xu's eyes were very gloomy. However, he can understand her current struggle, so he is not strong.

"Zhenzhen, as long as you want to come, you can come at any time. The door of Guojiazhuang is always open for you and the three princes. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhenzhen nodded, "Okay." ”

Su Junyan took Li Zhenzhen's hand and said to Guo Xu, "Master Guo, the reason why I was able to succeed this time is thanks to your help. The so-called great grace is not grateful, you can rest assured, I will definitely take care of Zhenzhen. ”

Guo Xu nodded and said with a smile, "That's very good." As long as Vera is doing well, it is what I want all my life. ”

In front of the gate of Guojiazhuang, Su Junyan helped Li Zhenzhen into the carriage. She glanced back at Guo Xu, only to feel that this tall man looked extremely lonely. In his life, he was obsessed with his mother, but it was a pity that he had no relationship with his mother.

Su Junyan knew that Li Zhenzhen felt uncomfortable, so he hugged her into his arms and said in a low voice, "Zhenzhen, I think in your mother's mind, your father must have a special place. The jade pendant that was buried with her is the best proof. So don't have a burden in your heart, if you want to recognize each other, admit it, and don't leave yourself with a lifetime of regrets. ”

In today's troubled times, maybe today's parting will be forever. Li Zhenzhen's heart moved, and she said loudly: "Stop." ”

She hurriedly got out of the carriage, only to see Guo Xu still standing quietly in front of the gate of Guojiazhuang, like a statue, looking at the direction they left.

Li Zhenzhen ran back, and the corners of Guo Xu's mouth raised slightly.

However, when the two approached, they didn't know what to say.

The two looked at each other and looked at each other without saying a word, and after a long time, Li Zhenzhen finally broke the silence.

"That...... I...... You have to take care of yourself. ”

Guo Xu nodded, "I know." ”

"And ..... And don't be too depressed. ”

"Okay."

"I ...... I'm leaving. ”

"Zhenzhen, let's go, you must take care of yourself."

"Okay." Li Zhenzhen nodded, "I'll definitely come back to see you, Daddy." ”

After some struggle, these two words finally came out of his mouth. It turned out to be very simple, and it was not as difficult as expected.

Hearing this, Guo Xu's pupils dilated, and his voice trembled a little, "Zhen Zhen, you...... You call me...... What the? ”

Li Zhenzhen repeated, "Daddy." ”

Guo Xu strode up to Li Zhenzhen and hugged her in his arms. Ever since she was a three-year-old child, he wanted to hug her. Today, his long-cherished wish has finally been granted. It seems that although his life has been bumpy, God has treated himself well after all.

"Vera, my good boy."

At this moment, Guo Xu's eyes were already filled with a layer of water vapor. But after a moment, tears fell into Li Zhenzhen's neck.

In his life, he cried a total of three times: when he first saw Lan Yuluo, when he heard the news of Lan Yuluo's death, and now.

Guo Xu hugged Li Zhenzhen so tightly that she felt a little painful. But she wouldn't push him away. Because, he is her blood relative.

Before coming here, she had no father and no mother. And now, at least my father is alive and well. Moreover, he loved her very much. The regrets that were missing at the beginning were made up at this moment.

After a long time, Guo Xu let go of Li Zhenzhen and gently rubbed her cheek. His hands were thick calluses, and her fair and delicate cheeks were painful, but they were also unusually warm.

"Zhenzhen, you can leave with confidence." "I'll take care of myself because I know my daughter is worried about me." Moreover, I can also go to the pool to see you when I miss you. ”

"Will you really go?"

Guo Xu nodded, "Of course." ”

"A word?"

"It's a deal."

Li Zhenzhen once again embarked on the road back to Huichi, only this time, her heart was no longer so wandering.

She leaned into Su Junyan's warm embrace and said with a light smile, "Brother Junyan, for the first time in my life, I think it feels good to have a father." ”

Su Junyan reached out and pinched Li Zhenzhen's small and delicate nose, and said with a smile, "We Zhenzhen are also people with fathers now." ”

"That's right." She couldn't help but laugh, "If you dare to bully me again in the future, I will tell my father and let him stand up for me." ”

Su Junyan was amused by her child-like remarks, "Okay, well, in order not to be blamed by my father-in-law, I must hold my Zhenzhen in the palm of my hand in the future." But ......"

He paused, then continued, "Zhenzhen, you are my beloved woman, how can I be willing to bully you?" ”

The two chatted jokingly in the carriage, after all, Li Zhenzhen was hit by a miasma a few days ago, and her body was a lot thinner, so it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.

Seeing her like this, Su Junyan simply beat her horizontally and hugged her in his arms, so that it was more comfortable to fall asleep.

Looking at her quiet and beautiful sleeping face, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. All he asked for was that Li Zhenzhen was well. It's just that this time I returned to the pool, I don't know what I will face.

The road ahead is long and not smooth. However, he will use his strength to protect the woman in his arms.

A man should protect his home and country.

When Li Zhenzhen woke up, she was already on the bed of the inn. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, and saw Su Junyan sitting at the table reading a book, and her serious appearance was extremely attractive.

Xu heard the sound, Su Junyan turned his head and smiled slightly, "Zhen Zhen, are you awake?" ”

Li Zhenzhen rolled over and got out of bed and nodded, "Hmm." Brother Junyan, how long have I been asleep? ”

Su Junyan smiled, "It's not long, but it's only been four hours." ”

How far can you travel in four hours? Li Zhenzhen was a little embarrassed, feeling that she had dragged down Su Junyan's schedule. Originally, there would have been a change in Chicheng, and he should have rushed back as soon as possible. How do you know that for his own sake, he walks so slowly.

As if knowing what she was thinking, Su Junyan smiled and said, "Zhenzhen, although you have slept for four hours, we have not stopped and have been on our way. Actually, it's only been half an hour at this inn. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhenzhen felt a little better in her heart. However, something suddenly occurred to her.

"Brother Junyan, did you carry me into the inn?"

Su Junyan laughed out loud, "Zhen Zhen, do you think that besides me, who else will eat the bear's heart and leopard gall to hug you." ”

Li Zhenzhen muttered quietly, "And Ah Li." ”

"Ah Li, too."

Although this inn is small, it is clean, and more importantly, the food in the store tastes good.

At least, Li Zhenzhen ate a lot. Especially the stewed chicken with fresh bamboo shoots, especially for her appetite.

Seeing her feasting, Su Junyan couldn't help but smile and said, "Since ancient times, literati and writers have preferred bamboo, saying that its nature is high and clean. But you love bamboo, I'm afraid a large part of the reason is because of its delicious taste. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhenzhen handed a piece of fresh bamboo shoots to Su Junyan's lips and said with a smile, "So what, since ancient times, people have taken food as their sky, and I can't avoid vulgarity." However, the owner of this shop is really a good method, and it is really a novelty to be able to eat fresh bamboo shoots in late autumn. ”

Su Junyan swallowed the piece of fresh bamboo shoots and said with a smile, "Zhenzhen, I like the way you look now." It's like when you were little. ”

"Brother Junyan, I am who I am, and I have never changed."

Su Junyan looked into her eyes and stopped talking. It is true that her heart for herself has not changed, but she hides her innocent emotions.

One day, he'll find them all.

It was night, and the two stayed at the inn. After a bit of grinding of ears and temples, Su Junyan couldn't wait to swallow the little woman in his arms. I had to be considerate of her body, so I had to endure it alive. It turned out that his Zhen Zhen could be so abrasive.

The next day, the group abandoned the carriage and switched to the waterway, so as to avoid the eyes and ears of the people.

After a few days on the boat, they finally returned to Jiangcheng.

Su Junyan got the news that the team pretending to be himself would arrive in Jiangcheng in one day, so he could stay here for one night.

One night, too short. But for him, it was already a gift.

That night, a long autumn rain finally fell. Su Junyan hugged Li Zhenzhen and did all the intimate things between husband and wife.

Vera Li hugged him tightly and catered to him because she wanted him to remember herself deeply.

Outside the window, the sound of the wind, the sound of the rain. Indoors, panting, murmuring.

On the second day, Su Junyan got up early in the morning and carefully told Ah Li before leaving with confidence.

He didn't say goodbye to Li Zhenzhen, because he was afraid that she was just a look, so he couldn't move his steps.

Li Zhenzhen, who was on the bed, actually woke up the moment Su Junyan got out of bed. She didn't want to say goodbye to him, for fear that a gentle kiss from him would make her hug him tightly.

At the gate of the courtyard, Su Junyan said to Su Heng: "In the past few days, I have been protecting Zhen Zhen well. If nothing else, I'll be sending someone over soon. ”

"Yes."

The long whip in Su Junyan's hand was raised, and the horse galloped away. And Li Zhenzhen was in the corner, quietly watching his back gradually move away until it disappeared.
