During the holidays, the college seems even more lonely and lifeless, especially on hazy days.
Shen Yan glanced at the unfamiliar environment, but unexpectedly, her mother beside her suddenly said: "That's the school's teachers' annex building. Your grandpa used to live there, and I spent my childhood there."
Because her mother was not around since she was a child, she lived with her father at school when she was very young.
So I am extremely familiar with everything around me.
Shen Yan looked at her mother in shock. She originally wanted to give it a try, so she followed her mother's wishes and came to the school to have a look.
Unexpectedly, not long after I came in, my mother remembered everything.
She had never heard her mother talk about her childhood before, and her mother couldn't figure out the confusing memories.
But now, my mother fluently recounted the complete memory.
"Have you remembered everything?" Shen Yan's eyes could not hide her excitement: "Mom, have you remembered everything?!"
Mrs. Shen's face, which had been weak for many years, showed a strange charm for the first time.
Memories from many years ago came flooding back like a tide, making her breathing slightly difficult and the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.
But she didn't care about this, and happily took her daughter's hand. When she was excited, she still stuttered a little: "I will take... take you to see, see... see the small tree that your grandpa planted for me. It’s named after me.”
"Yes!" Shen Yan nodded heavily, infected by her mother's excitement.
Memories of her childhood came flooding back. When she started running, the surrounding wind blew her long hair away, and her steps and body became lighter, as if she had thrown away the shackles of age and returned to her childhood.
When she was a child, she was like this, running happily around the campus.
Her father's students also take good care of her. Even if she sometimes behaves abnormally, her brothers and sisters will praise her for her cuteness, understand her, and take care of her.
It turns out that my previous memories were not as bad as I imagined.
But what she wants to see most now is the tree her father planted for her. She wants to see how tall the tree is now and whether it is still there.
The more she thought about it, the faster she ran.
Shen Yan still couldn't keep up, and started to pant, so she took the initiative to let go of her mother's hand and encouraged: "Mom, run faster, I will follow you."
She could feel her mother's urgent mood, and her heart became hot.
This amount of exercise is a piece of cake for Shi Qing.
He looked like he was jogging in the morning, standing next to Shen Yan who had a hard time climbing the stairs, watching her tenderly.
Seeing that Mrs. Shen was about to disappear in front of his eyes, Shi Qing simply picked up Shen Yan and said, "I can't keep up with Mrs. Shen anymore."
Shen Yan's heart skipped a beat and she patted his shoulder awkwardly: "Put me down quickly. If mom sees it, I'll be so embarrassed!"
"But..." Shi Qing walked up the stairs easily, his green eyes lowered, and his thick eyelashes in the shape of his single eyelids made them even more outstanding: "With your physical strength, you can't keep up with Mrs. Shen."
"I can keep up!" Shen Yan insisted on coming down: "Mom has been weak for many years and will slow down later. I don't believe that I, a young man, can't catch up with my mother!"
Shi Qing pursed her lips slightly, as if thinking about whether to put her down.
He quite enjoyed it when he hugged her tightly.
"Put me down, this is an order." Shen Yan deliberately showed his identity: "If you still treat me as a princess."
Shi Qing changed his usual humble attitude and said without changing his expression: "What I am holding now is not a European princess, but my girlfriend."
So this time, he refused.
Shen Yan had nothing to do with him and could only pray that her mother wouldn't suddenly look back.
"Then...after you finish climbing the stairs, you have to put me down."
A smile appeared on Shi Qing's lips: "Yeah."
Mrs. Shen ran five floors in a row, reached the last step of the stairs in a blink of an eye, turned around without looking back, and headed towards the rooftop garden in her memory.
The small tree her father planted for her was a peach tree in the corner of the garden.
Shi Qing hugged Shen Yan and followed closely, and was about to climb to the top floor.
boom--
The door to the stairwell was blown by the wind outside and was closed tightly.
Shi Qing's steps stagnated, and Shen Yan in his arms patted his shoulder: "Let me down and open this door."
At this time, they did not realize that something was wrong.
It wasn't until Shi Qing kicked the lock of the wooden door loose that he discovered that there was another fence door made of iron, tied tightly with an iron chain as thick as an arm.
The ominous premonition in Shen Yan's heart became extremely strong in an instant. She grabbed the fence and shouted inside: "Mom! Mom, did you hear that?!"
Shi Qing's face also turned very pale. It was obvious that someone had locked the door deliberately.
Moreover, the heavy iron door cannot be opened by human strength alone.
Without saying anything, he called Fu Xizhou directly.
The ringing of the phone only lasted for two seconds, but it felt extremely long to Shen Yan.
"It was someone else, someone locked the door..."
Because of her panic, she didn't know where to put her eyes, and slapped her face vigorously with both hands, making a crisp sound.
Forced to calm down: "Calm down, calm down, don't panic, I have to find a way to go in and save my mother."
The call was connected. Before Fu Xizhou could say anything, Shi Qing spoke first: "We are on the top floor of Teacher Shen's school. Mrs. Shen is alone on the top floor. I can't get in for the time being. She is in danger."
The iron door was locked artificially, and the intention couldn't be more obvious.
Fu Xizhou's calm voice came from the other end: "Where is the person I met?"
Shi Qing realized something and strode to the window. When he looked down, he saw two waves of people fighting at the bottom of the building.
"Downstairs, the other party was lurking here first. They knew Mrs. Shen would come."
"Find a way to get to Mrs. Shen, we will be here soon."
"Um."
Shi Qing was calm on the surface, but after hanging up the phone, when he saw Shen Yan and tried to squeeze in through the fence, he still couldn't stand it.
"Yan'er." He strode over to pull Shen Yan in.
Shen Yan was so anxious that she almost shed tears, and insisted on squeezing in: "They are bad people, they must be the same bad people who kidnapped my mother. I want to save my mother!"
In this situation, when I can't see my mother for a moment, I feel that my mother must have fallen into the hands of bad people.
And this is the top floor, so it is really close to death.
She didn't dare to think about it. If she thought about it more carefully, she felt that her emotions would definitely collapse.
"You come out first, I will find a way to open this door!" Shi Qing used all his strength to hug her out.
Outside the iron gate.
The haze dissipated, revealing the day, and the warm sunlight fell on Lu Beixiao's body.
He stood in front of Mrs. Shen, his fierce eyes filled with fierce energy.
Opposite him, five masked people in uniform were standing, but their eyes were locked on Mrs. Shen.
