It is actually a village with a history of nearly 1,000 years, but because it is located deep in the mountains, it has not been developed, the village is very poor, and there are many out-of-school children, especially girls, who go to junior high school.

Xu He didn't stay in the county, so he followed other volunteers to the village directly.

But what Xu He didn't expect was that when she went to the classroom the next day, she found that there were only eight students, and all of them were boys.

These students are in the fifth grade and will be in junior high school next year.

Xu He asked the children in the class, saying that there were actually a small number of female students from the first to the fourth grade, but almost from the fourth grade, because they could help the family with farm work, they were all ordered by their parents to drop out of school.

Xu He asked for the girls' addresses and names, and after the lesson, she and another volunteer went to visit the villages one by one and counted the names of all the out-of-school girls.

That night, Xu He looked at the list and looked at it for a long time, and she finally called Jiang Nick.

The original intention of setting up that foundation was to help girls, and now, these people who need help are in front of her, and Xu He can't sit idly by.

Jiang Nick's movements were very fast, and half a month later, the aid trucks and volunteers of the Charity Foundation rushed to Cloud City.

At this time, Zhao Pingjin and a young lady were sitting in a high-end restaurant.

This is what Mrs. Rong introduced to him, he has just returned from studying abroad, his family background is good, and he is also capable, in Mrs. Yung's words, her mother has cultivated her since she was a child, and the standard of the future head of the family is to cultivate her.

This is undoubtedly very suitable for Zhao Pingjin's current mate selection criteria.

Ning Ran put down the coffee and looked at Zhao Pingjin generously: "Mr. Zhao, Aunt Rong and I have told me some basic information about you, I can take the liberty of asking, what kind of wife do you want?" ”

"I won't love her, and she doesn't need to love me, it's not so much marriage as a cooperation, and it's enough for her to accept this condition."

Ning Ran pursed her lips, a little regretful, and a little reluctant to chuckle: "Mr. Zhao, you are very frank, but it's a pity...... I still want my husband to love me, at least, too. ”

Her impression of Zhao Pingjin is really good, but Ning Ran still retains the last bit of sobriety, she understands herself, there is no love marriage, she can only endure it for a while, for a long time, she is afraid that she will become a resentful woman.

"Then I wish you what you wanted, Miss Ning."

"Actually, you're really my ideal type...... Mr. Zhao, can't you try to like me? ”

Zhao Pingjin shook his head, calm but cruel: "Miss Ning, I'm sorry, to be exact, I won't like any woman anymore." ”

Ning Ran looked at the man who politely said goodbye and left, it was really difficult to give up a man with such conditions.

But there is no way, Ning Ran can see that this man has no heart, maybe it can be said that his heart has already been given to the people next to him.

Ning Ran is reluctant to do useless work, many times women are actually very sensitive, and some things are very well understood.

A man will not love you, that is, he will not love you, and he will not change because of your dedication, your beauty, and your family background.

……

At the same time in Yuncheng, Shen Du walked down the ramp of the plane and stood in the crowded airport hall, he was in a trance for a moment.

After making this decision, the whole person was much more relaxed.

I couldn't wait to book a ticket back to China overnight, and rushed to Yuncheng non-stop.

In the past year, Shen has not had a very good time.

Zhao Pingjin never retaliated against him, nor did he treat him harshly.

But the more this is the case, the deeper the guilt in Shen Du's heart.

Probably because of such a long period of depression, he suddenly had a problem with his body.

After confirming that he was sick, that thought began to breed in Shen Du's heart.

Maybe it's because Zhao Pingjin is too innocent, maybe it's because the brotherhood between the two of them for more than ten years has actually changed Shen Du a lot, but he doesn't know it.

Shen Du walked out of the airport, flagged down a taxi, and went directly to the town called Lushui.

When I saw Xu He, it was already slightly dark.

Shen Du sat in a simple brick house and watched Xu He stand in front of the huge stove to cook.

Simple wild vegetables in the mountains, because he was a guest, Xu He specially stewed a chicken.

The smell is great, especially fragrant, which provokes the children who live in the school to look this way.

Shen Du didn't touch the pot of chicken soup, and asked Xu He to share it with the children.

The two of them sat at a simple small square table and finished the dinner very quietly.

After eating, Xu He came back from brushing the pots and bowls, and poured a glass of water for Shen Du, "Mr. Shen, what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

Shen Du looked at Xu He in front of him, she was a little darker than in her impression, her hair was cut short to her ears, she was not as delicate and beautiful as before, but she was a little healthier.

Shen Du coughed lightly: "Miss Xu, I have some things I want to say to you, and if I say it, you may not believe it, but I guarantee that every word I say is true, and there is no falsehood." ”

"Mr. Shen?"

Xu He was a little surprised, but she still sat down opposite him, she vaguely felt that what Shen Du said should be related to Zhao Pingjin.

"Miss Xu, you may know a little, I went to the Zhao family since I was a child, Brother Jin and I grew up together, and until we went abroad to study, we were inseparable......

It was late at night.

A few dog barks could be heard in the distance, but it made the night seem more and more quiet.

Shen Du left the village late at night and walked slowly on the sheep intestine path under the moonlight, but his heart was quiet and peaceful like never before.

Xu He sat on the threshold at the courtyard gate.

Just like that, he looked motionlessly at the slowly flowing stream not far away.

Shen Du said those words, she was not too surprised.

Maybe deep down, I have always believed that Zhao Pingjin is not that kind of person.

But Xu He couldn't be happy.

Shen Du finally told her that he hoped that she could renew the old friendship with Zhao Pingjin.

Don't let the two miss each other because of his fault.

But how was she going to face him back?

The words spoken at the beginning and the choices made are vividly remembered.

Everyone has to pay for their choices.

It doesn't make sense, you know you're wrong, you go back and ask for forgiveness, and others have to forgive you.

Xu He didn't dare to think about how Zhao Pingjin, who was calculated like this by Shen Du and kept the whole person in the dark, and didn't even know where to start with his defense, how he should have collapsed and despaired in the face of her resolute departure.

The dearest brother, the closest companion, almost at the same time, abandoned him.
