o avoid recognition, but rather overwhelmed with surprise at their reunion after so long. 。Xiaoxin immediately felt a tall man charging towards them with an unstoppable momentum. She instinctively mo...Shao Hui's tone was like that of a parent to their mischievous child, with a hint of indulgence.
Cheng Chen, feeling content, brought over a plate of grilled skewers and ate some with Tinglan first.
Hearing this, Tinglan felt a tinge of emotion: "You've changed so much."
Cheng Chen used to be very ambitious, eager to prove herself, and inevitably there was a hint of restlessness in her. But now, there is much more peace between her brows. When she looks at Shao Hui or the baby in the stroller, her face reflects tranquility and contentment.
Cheng Chen heard her words, took a bite of the chicken wing that was still steaming and sizzling, and muttered under his breath.
"As for my old work unit, you have to keep your temper in check. Back when I was at a company, I was reckless and offended people, but the worst that could happen is I'd quit. But here, at our level, we have to play nice."
Tinglan laughed: "You're a pretty convincing son-in-law, aren't you Only a few years, and you've already gotten married, had a child, and been promoted to section chief, right"
Cheng Chen's ability is unquestionable, with no help from anyone, all by himself, it's already very good.
"That's nothing! I'll just take it slow and see where it takes me. As long as I stay true to myself and don't have any regrets, that's all that matters." Cheng Chen replied.
Neither of them ate much, waiting for Zhuo Yúan and Shao Huī to finish grilling everything before they ate together.
Zhuo Yu'an was a meticulous person. After the barbecue, Shao Hui was cleaning up the grill, while he went inside the camper van for a quick shower and changed his clothes. Only after washing away the greasy smell did he sit down next to Tinglan.
Cheng Chen got up, opened the four cans of soda on the table and distributed them. He raised his cup to Zhuo YUAN and Ting Lan: "Cheers to friendship!"
"To friendship." Listening River also replied.
Four people clinked beer cans together.
The baby next to me seems about to be woken up.
The car rolled over, and Cheng Chen was about to get up when Shao Hui stopped him.
:"I'll go."
He got up and went to the stroller beside him, gently patted the baby's back, and saw that he was still asleep. Then he came back.
His kids are the type of angel babies. When the family eats, the baby just cooperates and sleeps without crying or fussing. When they finish eating, the baby wakes up just right, climbs out of the stroller, sits curiously watching everything around, babbling and giggling, bouncing one word at a time. Not only does he not cry, but he also smiles at his parents and is so adorable.
Tinglan couldn't help but go over and hug the child first.
“I’ve completely forgotten what Shu Xiaonian and Shu Xiaohe were like when they were this young.” She was so busy with making a living back then, always hoping they would grow up quickly, that she had no time to spare for anything else. She hardly took any photos either.
At her words, everyone at the table fell silent. Zhuo Yu'an's eyes darkened, and he looked at her thoughtfully.
"What's with all the expressions Don't be so sensitive, okay"
Cheng Chen: "Do you want another one"
Ting Lan's eyes widened in terror. "Don't hurt me," she cried. "I'd rather die than..."
Zhuo Yu'an smiled but said nothing.
Shao Hui got up to make formula for the baby, and Cheng Chen also took the baby and held him.
Friends, sunshine, gentle breeze, delicious food, everything is so wonderful.
Shao Hui had just finished preparing the milk powder when a scream suddenly came from the nearby lake. Upon closer inspection, someone was shouting for help.
This spot isn't crowded and the sounds by the lake are especially clear.
Originally, a child accidentally fell into the lake. The mother, who couldn't swim, frantically screamed on the sidelines and then blindly jumped into the lake herself in an attempt to...
He was about to rush into the danger, but luckily a female companion beside him pulled him back.
Before Tinglan and Chengchen could react, Shao Hui slammed the milk bottle onto the table and dashed over at lightning speed. He got as close to the child as possible and with a splash, leaped into the lake, swimming desperately towards the drowning person.
It's ingrained in me, no need to think about it. When there's danger among the people, I'll be the first one to rush forward.
His arms and head kept popping up from the water. They quickly found the child who was drowning and struggling in the water. He dragged the child’s head with one hand, and swam towards the shore with the other.
Zhuo Yu'an had run to the lakeshore at some point and was squatting on the bank, waiting for Shao Hui.
Shao Hui dragged the child over to shore, he immediately reached out and pulled the child onto land, putting him aside to check on his condition. The child's mother next to him was terrified, her legs went weak and she collapsed in front of her child, crying out her child's name repeatedly.
The child's face was ashen, his lips blue, and he seemed to be struggling to breathe.
Zuo Yu'an hurriedly squatted down and pressed the child's abdomen hard until the water that had choked the child came out. After that, the child's lips gradually changed from blue to white, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
< Shao Hui stood there, dripping wet. Listen and Cheng Chen also came over with the baby. Listen handed him a towel, he wiped it haphazardly. Seeing Cheng Chen holding the baby, her eyes were red as she looked at him, he reached out and gently patted her face, softly saying: "It's okay!" >
The rescued child was only four or five years old. After spitting out the water, he burst into tears. His mother held him tightly and cried uncontrollably, her whole body trembling.
After crying and calming down, she repeatedly bowed to Shao Hui and Zhuo Yu'an in thanks.
But Shao Hui's face was serious, < >.
There was no trace of the fearless young man who had just jumped into the water to save someone. He gave the young mother a severe lecture on safety, his words and expression were sharp and unforgiving, leaving no room for sympathy.
The young mother held her child, feeling a mixture of gratitude and shame. She realized that in her eagerness to take pictures, she hadn't been paying enough attention to her little one.
The young mother wanted to leave her contact information and said she had to come in person to thank him again, but Shao Hui refused.
He didn't say he was a policeman, and because of the special nature of his work, he didn't want to draw too much attention. After finishing his lesson, he returned to the RV campground with Cheng Chen and his wife, Zhuo Yu'an.
Chen Chen's eyes were still red. Just now, seeing him jump into the water, her heart almost stopped beating. Although she knew he was fine, she was still very worried.
Shao Hui stood in the sunshine. He had just wrung out his shirt, and after a while in the sun it was almost dry. Then he came over and hugged Cheng Chen, kissing her forehead. "It's okay," he said simply.
The baby in Cheng Chen's arms stretched out both hands, wanting to be held by her father. Shao Hui took the baby and hugged both mother and child.
Cheng Chen was very serious, teaching the baby one word at a time: "Daddy is a hero."
Yes, a true hero indeed.
The gathering of the four people became more meaningful because of this incident of saving someone who fell into the water.
In the evening, Cheng Chen and Shao Hui bid farewell to them and left.
The next day, after paying their respects at their mother's grave early in the morning, they left Qining and continued on to their next destination.
Along the way, I stopped and went, met old friends, saw famous historical sites, encountered danger, and also indulged and acted recklessly under the starry sky.
They engraved their names on the love locks at the mountaintop.
...calling each other's names and professing their love on the edge of a cliff overlooking an empty valley, and chasing passionate kisses on the receding tide. ...
The past is gone, and a new chapter begins.ing.Shu Tinglan had never denied this, otherwise she wouldn't have been so infatuated and slept with him the first time they met. The reason she agreed to dinner with him tonight was two-fold: firstly...
