Chapter 307 Back to the present
"That's all."
In the end, Yao Hongmao changed companies. Although his annual salary was less, the new company had longer annual vacations, weekends off, less overtime, and his colleagues were friendly.
He also took his aunt to Beicheng to take care of her.
After everything was on track, I didn't even think about looking for Jiang Sheng.
It's just a glimpse in a difficult situation, which may trigger his reverie at an occasional moment - but in the final analysis, the most important thing is to live a good life now.
It wasn't until he saw Jiang Sheng in the hospital that Yao Hongmao realized that his joy was stronger than he had imagined, and he felt that they did have a deep fate.
She is still so beautiful and gentle. If I have to say something has changed, it may be that she has gained a little more poise that belongs to a would-be doctor.
Yao Hongmao said: "I hope to get to know you, but if you don't mistake me for him... you won't even give me your contact information, right?"
certainly.
Jiang Sheng lowered his eyes, strangely believing such an outrageous story.
She was still a little enlightened, but she didn't feel any anger at being deceived.
Yao Hongmao laughed at himself: "I was so confused that I made this move. I just hope you can give me a chance to get in touch with you first."
He should be grateful that the person helped him after all, instead of pretending to be someone else to satisfy his own selfish desires.
However: "I had no intention of replacing him, and everything I said to you is true."
Jiang Sheng looked at him.
Indeed, the first bag of snacks was also a result of Yao Hongmao's work. He did not deceive her, but used language skillfully to misunderstand her.
Yao Hongmao continued: "I wanted to wait until I got to know you better before telling you the truth, but you seem unwilling to give me this opportunity."
Polite, perfunctory, evasive...
The last question: "The candy was bought by Shang Yao for him to buy. He thought it was beautiful when he saw it, but one person is limited to buying one. If he wants to buy another, he can only borrow my ID card to register."
Yao Hongmao felt a little ashamed when talking about this.
At that time, I was still his only friend.
The rain outside the window was still falling, falling heavily to the ground without stopping, and thundering loudly. The wind was howling, and the sky was as dark as night, but the lights in the box seemed to be brighter.
This kind of weather can't help but make people a little uneasy.
Jiang Sheng looked at his phone and nodded to show that he understood: "That's it, I'm going back."
She stood up and was about to leave when a voice called from behind: "Jiang Sheng."
She looked back.
The man who was still sitting in his seat asked the question again: "If I am not the person you are looking for, can we still be friends?"
She smiled: "What is your definition of a friend?"
Another answer: "If we just know each other, have contact information, and maybe send blessings during the holidays, then of course we are."
Yao Hongmao clenched his phone and finally asked: "What if I...went to find you with him?"
Jiang Sheng asked, "Can you do it?"
It is because there are so many people who hesitate to give up, so that brother's persistence is so precious.
Sincere compliments, candid apologies, and comforting encouragement... I went to great lengths to find an adoptive family for her, but I respected her opinions.
She still misses the "Qianyu" people, and she often learns from such kindness.
But a smile and a little donation are really not enough to remember her for more than ten years.
"Besides." She smiled again, her eyes curled up, "I'm just very grateful to that brother, and is this what you need?"
"Then you already have it. I thank you, including the companies that sponsor the normal operation of the welfare home, all the philanthropists who donate, and the volunteers who come from time to time."
Their support allowed her to grow up safely until she was six years old, and then she met her grandfather and sister.
After Jiang Sheng finished speaking, he left. Yao Hongmao froze on the spot and did not move for a long time.
He didn't know how long it took before he picked up his phone and found that there were many more unread messages:
[Xiaomao, are you on a business trip to Linzhou?]
[I watched the video of Linzhou. It suddenly rained heavily there. In some places, the water level rose to the calf. Where are you now?]
[When you see this message, please report to your aunt that you are safe as soon as possible. My aunt is very worried about you]
The three messages were separated by 6 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. Yao Hongmao did not dare to delay any longer, so he sent two words to tell her that he was still safe: [Aunt]
Yao Hongmao looked out the window. The rain had subsided and the sky was gradually getting brighter.
He explained in detail: [I haven’t heard from you since I was busy. I am fine. The rain in Linzhou has also eased a lot. Don’t worry.]
After thinking for a moment, he added: [I will be back tomorrow]
Maybe she was waiting for his reply, but her aunt immediately sent her a message: [Hey, okay, okay, be sure to pay attention to your safety]
[Is there anything you want to eat? My aunt will cook it for you]
[Is it okay to stew pork ribs with Codonopsis pilosula? I must have lost weight again outside. I need to take a good rest when I get home]
Yao Hongmao looked at his phone and looked out the window again. The rain had completely stopped.
He was suddenly relieved.
Then edited: [Okay, I like everything my aunt makes]
send.
…
On the other side, Jiang Sheng read her grandfather's message back to her again before making a phone call.
It took Grandpa a long time to pick up: "...Xiao Sheng."
Jiang Sheng got into the taxi that took a long time to get: "Grandpa, is it really not raining there?"
"This girl, can I still lie to you?"
Jiang Sheng asked again: "Where are you traveling?"
Grandpa hesitated and said, "Oh, you don't care what I do. You can do your own thing. I'll come back when I've had enough fun."
He hurriedly changed the subject: "How about your place in Beicheng?"
Jiang Sheng replied: "It's okay. It went very smoothly. The teacher is back too."
"Okay, okay, that's good. Let's not talk about it for now. I'm busy playing chess."
Then Jiang Sheng hung up before he could speak again.
Perhaps due to the signal delay, Jiang Sheng seemed to hear his grandfather muttering words such as "how could this happen", "it's raining" and "go back".
Jiang Sheng felt a little weird.
But this wasn't the first day that grandpa had been weird, so she temporarily let go of her doubts.
She looked ahead. The headlights illuminated the slightly dark road from narrow to wide, and the wipers were working tirelessly.
The driver drove slowly while turning the steering wheel, and the tires rolled through the water: "Don't worry, there seems to be no other place except us in this damn weather."
Jiang Sheng responded: "Is it the news?"
"No, what the marketing account said, it's strange to say that it started raining when it was so good." The driver said, "The wind is like a demon wind, and the thunder is like someone breaking a poisonous oath."
"You are lucky to have met me. It was raining so heavily just now, and all the other taxis have gone home. Look at this road, don't talk about people - not even a ghost."
Jiang Sheng turned on her phone and was about to go to the forum to see if anyone was discussing today's strange celestial phenomena.
Suddenly the car came to a sudden stop without warning, and she threw herself onto the backrest in front of her, grabbing the seat belt and leaning back again.
"What's wrong?"
The driver pointed at the windshield, so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.
In the area covered by the high beam, there was a black figure lying on its side on the ground, motionless.
The driver's face was pale and he was about to cry without tears: "Human... human figure?"
"Is this a human figure or a ghost figure?!"
Bah, bah, bah, he knew that Heitian couldn't talk nonsense!
