Chapter 22: Jincheng Encounter
Seaside park, peach grove, early winter.
Menghan tucked her collar, and even though the weather wasn't cold, the oncoming wind still made her shrink her neck.
The rain, which had been falling since the morning, came out of the pine and cypress garden without riding a bike. She told her mother that after school in the morning, she would have lunch in her apartment to save herself the trouble of running around in the rain.
By ten o'clock, the rain had stopped, but the sky was still gray. She looked out over the mountains in the distance, where the fog was thick.
It's still going to rain. With that in mind, she stepped onto the familiar peach grove.
Passing through this peach forest, you will soon arrive at her rented apartment, and at the end of this gravel road, next to the national highway, is the sidewalk where excavators once ran amok, and on that sidewalk, it was Ziyu who saved her little nephew Jiajia desperately......
Menghan sighed. It's been two years, and two years is enough time to change many people and things.
During these two years, she got married and had children;
In the past two years, Yaping resigned, got married, became a proprietress at home, and Shunshun started an online business;
In the past two years, An Ziyu ran a nursery class, and I heard that he was dismissed......
She sighed again, and as far as the eye could see, the garden was full of dead branches and rare evergreen trees, making this seaside park look extremely depressed.
The man in front of her is the man she misses?
Holding a dark umbrella, a dark gray suit, and a dark rose tie, the contours of his face are still handsome and make people tremble.
The shiny leather shoes climbed a few wisps of jasmine because of the weeds, but the marching steps were so firm and familiar, "dong dong" hit her heart.
"Menghan." He exclaimed, looking at her with affectionate eyes.
"Ziyu." It's really him, "You're in Jincheng, are you on a business trip?" β
"Almost." He replied briefly.
At the moment, he was in front of her eyes, and she was in his eyes.
I miss a thousand days, but I don't know where to start-
Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc. Since that day of farewell, this kind of love and longing is not thought about, since it is unforgettable, and at this moment it is like a tidal wave surging in the chest.
"How are you?" After a pause, he asked. It must be bad, otherwise, his dream will not walk alone in this secluded path, if he is not mistaken, there is a touch of sorrow written between the delicate eyebrows just now, but at this moment, this sorrow has disappeared without a trace.
"I'm okay!" She replied, her eyes dodging. So Ziyu, have you found a girlfriend? My dear, have you found your happiness after that parting?
In that moment, he could read the meaning in her eyes.
He took her hand, and she felt her body slip into a warm embrace, and before she could struggle, his kiss came down.
His slightly cool tongue slid into her mouth, greedily sucking her breath, and at this moment, he forgot who they were, and forgot everything around him.
Her mind went blank, and she just closed her eyes obediently. She forgot to think, and she didn't want to think about it, and her long, plump arms wrapped around his neck and shins, and responded enthusiastically.
After a long time, he let go of her, his deep eyes were red bloodshot, he put his mouth to her ear, and whispered: "Hanhan, I want you." β
She looked up and stared at his handsome face, a familiar one that was both intoxicating and heartbreaking. At that moment, another person's face flashed through her mind, cold and seductive.
She snapped to her senses and wrenched herself from his arms.
Oh my God, what is she doing! No, if Nian Junhong knew about this, how would he torture himself? She remembered those places of sound and sensuality! Nian Junhong forced her to sing and forced her to dance. Oh, she doesn't, doesn't.
If he knew that she was messing around outside, I really don't know what strange tricks the old man would think of.
She no longer wants to go with glass after glass; She no longer sang those lounge love songs that she didn't like to sing; She doesn't want to dance with those "beer belly" one after the other anymore.
"Ziyu, let's forget about each other! I am fine. She said quickly.
"But you're not happy," Ziyu took her hand, "Tell me, did that young Junhong bully you?" Is he still like that, indifferent to children? β
"Nope. Ever since he knew I had given birth to a boy, he became considerate. So, I don't want to do anything to be sorry for him! β
She snorted, her eyes looking at the mountains in the distance. There were dark clouds and a heavy rain was coming.
She didn't want her life to be stormy again, even though he was like a warm ray of sunshine in the cold winter to herβ
In the days of parting, in countless sad nights, she has gradually learned to lick her wounds.
That year, Junhong didn't care about Xiaoyu at all, although the child was healthy and cute.
Maybe the old fox knows something! Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this, and how happy it is for many rich people to have a son.
Then it must be like this, Nian Junhong has doubts about Xiao Yu's life experience.
However, this does not blame him, all this is the bitter fruit of her own sowing.
Since she gave birth to Xiaoyu, Nian Junhong has repeatedly asked her to accompany the wine, singing and dancing, although she repeatedly shirked, he always forced her out again and again.
On this point, he has a lot of excuses, always saying that most of his circles are like this.
No one would believe such a lie, no matter how stupid he is.
If he lets him catch her and Ziyu again, I don't know how he will torture her.
So, she can't covet this warm embrace anymore.
So, Ziyu, go find your other half! I'm really good.
Thinking like this, she immediately began to smile in front of him, and, she cleverly diverted the subject.
"I guess, Ziyu, there must be something important when you come to Jincheng. Men are career-oriented. You must have come for your cause! She turned to him, trying to get the conversation back to him, "I've heard you've been removed. Is it true? β
"It's all gone." Ziyu said, "Losing my job was a bit of a loss at first. Now, I feel much freer, at least I can let go of things. By the way, Menghan, is there anyone in your neighborhood who has a nursery class? β
"There's one, the one opposite the school gate called 'thriving'."
"Is there only one?"
"Yes. There is only one. As for private kindergartens, there are two. Menghan asked, "Ziyu, do you want to expand your nursery class?" β
"Yes. Do you want to be a joint venturer? Ziyu asked.
"Me?" Menghan's eyes widened, "Excuse me!" Ziyu, you have been expelled, do you want me to be expelled? β
"Just kidding." Ziyu smiled, "However, you grew up in Jincheng, and you know a lot of teachers here, if there are retired teachers who are interested in applying for jobs in my nursery center, please tell me and let them contact me." I thought, if nothing else, I'll be at your school gate next spring when school starts to hand out leaflets. β
"You really want to run a nursery school near our school!" Menghan said, "Okay, Ziyu, I naturally support you." Don't worry, I'll help you inquire about teachers. However, if you find a retired teacher to tutor your child in a nursery class, parents may not welcome it! β
"That's right, but if you have any questions, please help me pay attention, the nursery class can recruit one or two retired teachers, and then arrange it when there are young ones." Ziyu said, "Menghan, where are you going now?" β
"Go back to my apartment. I don't go home for dinner at noon, have you eaten, why don't you have a meal together? There is a restaurant in front of this. β
"No need, I still have to go to Jincheng Ershi to go around. Say goodbye! He raised his head and looked thoughtfully at his ex-girlfriend's face, "Menghan, you have to be good." β
"I'll be fine, Ziyu, don't worry, I'll be fine. You have to be good, find a girlfriend and get married, I'm waiting to eat your candy! Restraining her bad moods, restraining her love for him, she smiled at him again.
Farewell, obsessive man, from now on, your child will be my best companion. It will be an eternal secret for me. You can't know he exists, he belongs to me alone!
"So, Bay!"
βBayοΌ Ziyu. β
When Menghan pushed open the door of the apartment and threw himself on the bed in the bedroom, the mobile phone in the handbag rang in time.
She picked up her phone and glanced at the screen, XXXXXXX, which was the phone number of the Cypress Garden Villa.
She held out her index finger and pressed the answer button.
"Menghan, are you there?" It was Xin Chen's voice.
"Yes, yes, I'm here!" She replied busily. Xin Chen rarely called him, what happened?
"Dad is sick and has advanced liver cancer. You're going home. β
There was a thunderclap overhead. God, this can't be, although Junhong has entered middle age that year, he is physically strong! The most commendable thing is that he has a habit of getting up in the morning to exercise, that is, in the coldest winter, he will also get up on time and run around the whole village in two laps. When it rains, he exercises at home β he has a set of sports equipment for himself and puts it in the large room at the back of the first floor of the villa for rainy sports.
Maybe it's because he pays more attention to exercise, this guy rarely catches a cold once a year, how can he say that he gets sick when he's sick? And it is also an advanced stage of liver cancer. It's not scientific!
"Xin Chen, is there any mistake, your father is strong? How could you get that disease? Menghan didn't believe his ears.
"I don't believe it either, but the physical examination form in the hospital, written in black on a white background, is very clear, Dad is indeed sick, when will you go back to Cypress Garden?"
"Okay, I'll go back in the evening. Tomorrow is Saturday. You see if you should let your dad go to another hospital for a follow-up. β
"Come back!" Xin Chen said and hung up the phone.
Menghan held his mobile phone in his hand and was stunned for a moment.
