Chapter 196 Hong Chen doesn’t want me anymore!
When I got home, it was already past five in the evening, just time for dinner.
Among the people who delivered cakes, Aunt Xu's cooking was the most delicious. Zhan Xinyue decided to take the cakes and Sheng Tunan to the chief of staff's house for a meal.
"Oh, Xinyue, Master Sheng, you are such rare guests. I haven't seen you for several months. I'll open the door right away."
Sheng Tunan had just parked his car in front of the chief of staff's house and knocked on the door when he saw Xu Jinling coming out to greet him warmly.
After walking a few steps, Xu Jinling turned back and took out a big umbrella. "It's snowing, Xinyue. You're pregnant. Don't get wet. Don't get out of the car yet. Wait for Auntie to come pick you up."
The snow had just fallen recently, and it was not heavy snow, but granules.
Xu Jinling walked out holding an umbrella, and the snowflakes fell on the umbrella, making a crackling sound.
Sheng Tunan got out of the car, walked around to the passenger seat, opened the door, held Zhan Xinyue's hand, and helped his wife get out of the car. Aunt Xu quickly put an umbrella over Zhan Xinyue's head.
"Pfft, you guys are making a big deal out of nothing. It's just a few steps, and I won't be hurt." Zhan Xinyue held her lover's hand with one hand and Xu Jinling with the other.
"You are pregnant with triplets, and your belly is bigger than that of ordinary pregnant women. You'd better be careful." Aunt Xu scolded, and she and Sheng Tunan carefully helped Zhan Xinyue into the house.
Only after everyone was sitting comfortably on the sofa in the living room did Sheng Tunan return to the car and take out the prepared pastries for Xu Jinling.
"Aunt, this cake is delicious. Xinyue brought it specially for you."
"Oh, so exquisite. It looks delicious." Xu Jinling has a carefree personality and she opened the box and ate one directly.
"It's delicious." Xu Jinling swallowed the cake and smiled, "You can have dinner at my place today. My husband just sent someone back to tell me that it's snowing today and we need to train the new recruits to fight in bad weather. We will be training tonight and won't be back."
"It just so happens that I cooked a lot of rice and vegetables, enough for us to eat."
"Okay." Zhan Xinyue and Xu Jinling have a good relationship, so she didn't hide anything and said frankly, "Tunan and I just came to your house to have a meal. We have missed your cooking for a long time."
"That's great. My hometown just happened to send me some bacon and sausages, which I made today. You guys wait a moment, I'll steam some egg custard for Xinyue." After saying that, he ran into the kitchen in a hurry.
Although it was said that they would only add a steamed egg custard, Xu Jinling also steamed a turbot and fried a large plate of bacon. Sheng Tunan had a big appetite, so the portion of the fried dish was a little small.
Ten minutes later, the three of them sat down to eat.
The table was filled with seven or eight dishes and a bottle of Moutai liquor.
This wine has been treasured by the chief of staff for a long time. Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan rarely come here, so of course they have to take it out.
"Commander Sheng, congratulations on your outstanding achievement." Xu Jinling raised her glass.
"Thank you." Sheng Tunan also picked up the cup.
Zhan Xinyue couldn't drink alcohol, so she took a glass of boiled water instead. The three of them clinked their glasses and drank it in one gulp.
"Eat some food, eat some food." Xu Jinling put down her wine glass and used a serving chopstick to pick up a few pieces of bacon and fish for Zhan Xinyue.
"Thank you, auntie, you eat it yourself." Zhan Xinyue took the bowl with both hands, took a bite of bacon impatiently, and squinted her eyes comfortably.
At Ouyang Mansion, the nutritionist hired by her grandfather didn't allow her to eat bacon, and she almost wanted to cry just thinking about it.
"It smells so good." Zhan Xinyue gave a thumbs up.
Sheng Tunan picked up some fish for his wife. He knew that the colorful jade bracelet was spiritual and could protect Zhan Xinyue's body to the greatest extent. There was no problem in eating a few pieces of bacon, so he did not stop her and let her satisfy her craving.
After three rounds of drinking, Aunt Xu drank some wine, got drunk, her face turned red, and she spoke without restraint. Suddenly, she said with regret, "Xinyue, Peifeng is a handsome man with good looks, good family background, and good knowledge. How come the partner he found is so ordinary?"
"I'm worried that the baby they give birth to won't be good-looking. Alas."
"Teacher Sheng, Xinyue, please don't mind my frankness. I don't mean anything else. I don't look good, and I don't mean to look down on Bai Yunyun."
Xu Jinling was not completely drunk and knew that it was very uncivilized to comment on her appearance behind her back.
But he also felt that it was too unfair for the handsome, elegant and graceful Shen Peifeng to be paired with the ordinary Bai Yunyun, so he took advantage of the alcohol to speak out what had been pent up in his heart for a long time.
After he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful. He stood up anxiously and explained incoherently.
"Aunt, I understand what you mean. You knew Peifeng first, and you must be closer to him than to Bai Yunyun. You think Peifeng's future wife should be outstanding in appearance, ability and character to be worthy of Peifeng. It's normal for you to have such an idea." Zhan Xinyue took Xu Jinling's hand and asked her to sit down.
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean! After all, a lifetime is too long. As an auntie, I sincerely hope that Peifeng can find a girl who is very good in every aspect."
Seeing that Zhan Xinyue understood what she meant, Xu Jinling, who had been drinking, began to talk nonstop again, "I think Bai Yunyun and Pei Feng are always indifferent when they are together. They don't seem like they are dating. It's more like they are walking together and dating to complete a task. They are always far apart. They are not intimate at all."
"But your old fourth child and Hong Chen are in love. They look very sweet. By the way, let me tell you,"
Xu Jinling leaned close to Zhan Xinyue and said mysteriously, "I think Hong Chen cares about Shen Zhixian a lot. Many times, when Shen Zhixian got off work late, Hong Chen would follow him silently and escort him home. Oh, he is really thoughtful."
After get off work, Shen Zhixian went back to his residence from the laboratory and had to pass by the chief of staff's house. Xu Jinling went to bed late at night and saw Hong Chen following Shen Zhixian from a distance several times.
"I think that the fourth child in your family might get married before the second child." Aunt Xu took a sip of wine and predicted confidently.
Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue smiled helplessly. Perhaps the relationship between the fourth brother and Hong Chen would be better than that between the second brother and Bai Yunyun, but the fourth brother was suffering from uremia and there was a bounty on his body by a mysterious man. It was unknown whether they could overcome it.
After having a good meal and a few drinks, Zhan Xinyue looked at her watch and saw that it was not yet nine o'clock in the evening. She decided to go find Hong Chen to have a chat while it was quiet at night.
It is said that at night, people's hearts are most vulnerable and least defended. Let's see if we can uncover Hong Chen's secret.
"Thank you for your hospitality, aunt. Tuanan and I will go back first. I will be living in Huanyu Island these days. Please come to our house for dinner when you have time." Zhan Xinyue stood up and said goodbye.
Xu Jinling glanced out the window. She had no idea when the snow had stopped falling. Now heavy flakes of snow were floating down, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground.
The first heavy snow of 1977 came so unexpectedly, although it was a little late.
Aunt Xu took a big umbrella and was about to see Zhan Xinyue out.
"Auntie, give me the umbrella. It's cold outside and the roads are slippery. You've drunk too much, so don't fall." Sheng Tunan took the umbrella.
"Okay." Xu Jinling didn't force them. She saw them out the door and watched them leave the yard and get in the car.
Sheng Tunan held an umbrella in one hand and his arm around his wife's waist with the other, walking steadily in the snow, giving people a full sense of security.
Sheng Tunan drove the car into the yard, ran to the passenger seat, opened the door, and wanted to pick up his wife.
"I still have to go to Hong Chen's place." Zhan Xinyue sat in the passenger seat and refused to get out of the car.
"I'll call her over later." Sheng Tunan stretched out his hand, ready to help his wife get out of the car.
At this moment, Shen Zhixian ran over, shouting, "Brother, sister-in-law, it's bad, Hong Chen doesn't want me anymore. She doesn't want me anymore. She ran away."
"What's going on?" Zhan Xinyue took Sheng Tunan's hand and got out of the car. She looked at Shen Zhixian who looked helpless and heartbroken.
"I went to look for her right after I got to work today, but she wasn't there. I thought she was outside playing in the snow, and her yard door and gate were not closed, so I thought I'd go in and take a rest and wait for her to come back, but as soon as I entered the room, I saw this letter on the coffee table."
Shen Zhixian's eyes were red, and he looked so pitiful. He took the letter and gave it to Zhan Xinyue, "Sister-in-law, you are also a lesbian. Take a look. Does Hong Chen really not want to be with me anymore?"
"If I had known, I wouldn't have told mom that she wanted to see her. It's all my fault." Shen Zhixian was so anxious that he was spinning around, making messy circles on the new snow.
Circles and circles, the sad and miserable Shen Zhixian deeply missed Hong Chen's face, the bold and gentle face, the passionate and gentle face.
Zhan Xinyue quickly read the letter, which had a few words written on it, in a flamboyant style, "I don't like you anymore. I'm going home and I don't want to be your bodyguard anymore. Don't look for me. Find someone who likes you in the future..."
The last sentence was not finished and was crossed out again. Perhaps he left in a hurry, so only a few strokes were made and the words could still be seen.
Zhan Xinyue guessed that the complete meaning of this sentence should be to find a girl who loves you, marry her, have children, and live together forever. However, she didn't know why she didn't finish writing it and crossed out the previous sentence.
"Zhixian, I don't think Hong Chen really dislikes you. She must have her own reasons." Zhan Xinyue analyzed, "I think she likes you."
Because I like her, I can't imagine Shen Zhixian marrying and having children with another girl in the future.
"Really?" Shen Zhixian's eyes lit up and then dimmed. "If it's true, why did she leave? Even if she has her own difficulties, she can tell me. I can face it with her."
At this moment, Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan both thought that Hong Chen had to leave because of uremia. They were organizing words in their minds, thinking about how to tell Shen Zhixian this cruel truth in the most tactful way.
Just then, a guard came hurriedly with a letter.
"Report to the commander, a child was instructed to deliver a letter."
"read."
"We have captured Hong Chen. If we want her to survive, let Shen Zhixian go to the dock alone."
