Meng Yan said while looking out the window at the garden that had been washed away by heavy rain all night and appeared to be full of vitality.
"You are no longer the seven-year-old girl you were then, and I am no longer the seven-year-old boy you were."
"Our Meng family is no longer the same Meng family. When I say this, do you understand?"
"Why not?" Tang Yuyan was stunned and asked: "Of course I am still the same girl, I haven't changed at all!"
Tang Yuyan felt a little anxious. He understood the meaning of Meng Yan's words.
"Even if you are, I'm not the same person I used to be." Meng Yan turned around and looked calmly at Tang Yuyan lying on the hospital bed.
"You." Tang Yuyan wanted to retort, but as soon as she raised her head and met Meng Yan's eyes, the words she was about to say were stuck in her throat.
Yes, Meng Yan is no longer the child he was before.
Tang Yuyan's eyes darkened and her eyes darkened.
Her father and grandfather were killed by enemies when she was ten years old. She had lived incognito for more than ten years. She could understand how much hardship Meng Yan had endured in these years.
In his eyes, there was no longer the innocent look in the eyes of the little boy who gave him the ring.
Even she herself is now just a hostage burdened with the revitalization of her family and living under the roof of her enemy.
"Yes." Tang Yuyan said in a weak tone.
"We are no longer the children we were."
Meng Yan nodded: "Yes, Yu Yan, as long as you understand."
A line of clear tears slowly flowed from the corners of Tang Yuyan's eyes, and she couldn't help but cover her eyes.
Sure enough, my thoughts were still too naive.
It is impossible for me and Meng Yan.
"Why? Why are you suddenly telling me this now?" Tang Yuyan asked, holding back her tears.
"Dad, you made Sister Tang cry!" Although she didn't know what happened, when she saw Tang Yuyan crying, Duo'er quickly stretched out her little hand to help her wipe away her tears. At the same time, she glanced at Meng Yan with an angry look.
He glared hard at him.
Meng Yan was stunned. He was just stating the facts. Why did he cry suddenly?
Walking to the bedside, Meng Yan looked at the large basket of flowers placed on it and pulled out the most vivid red rose.
Tang Yuyan wiped away her tears, raised her head, and looked at Meng Yan in front of her with confusion.
"What are you doing?"
Meng Yan did not respond. The red rose stem was folded in his hand. Tang Yuyan looked at the changes in Meng Yan's hand and slowly covered her lips in surprise.
Just like the flower braided ring that he had carried with him for more than ten years, Meng Yan used the same technique to weave the bright rose into a rose ring in his hand.
Meng Yan looked at Tang Yuyan with the ring in his hand. Tang Yuyan also looked at Meng Yan with firm eyes in front of her with surprise, not knowing what he was going to do next.
"Tang Yuyan." Meng Yan said, "I am a stupid guy who talks about feelings."
"but."
Meng Yan knelt down on one knee, gently took Tang Yuyan's hand, and slowly put the rose ring in her hand on her middle finger.
"Yu Yan, the little yellow flower you were before is not suitable for you now."
"I made a new one for you."
Tang Yuyan raised her hand. The rose on her middle finger was so delicate and beautiful, it was in full bloom and the size was just right.
"What if." Seeing Tang Yuyan's happy expression, Meng Yan said timidly.
"If you are willing, you are willing to take care of Duo'er."
Tang Yuyan put down her hands and looked at Meng Yan, who was kneeling on one knee beside her bed, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Then I hope you can take care of her for the rest of your life."
Meng Yan paused, looked up into Tang Yuyan's eyes, and spoke word by word.
"Of course, I will take care of you for the rest of my life."
…
After a long silence, Tang Yuyan covered her mouth, and tears of excitement burst from her eyes.
"Woooo..."
Duo'er, who was looking at Meng Yan on the side, had turned into adoring star eyes.
"Dad, how dare you say that you are stupid!"
"Dad is so awesome!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, Duoer lowered her voice and whispered.
"Dad, please don't go out and trick girls into coming back. Duo'er will recognize Sister Tang."
Meng Yan was a little confused. Did he do something strange? Didn't he just express his love for Yu Yan?
What's going on? It made her cry, and Duo'er muttered something she didn't understand?
"go out!"
"ah?"
"I told you to get out, I want to change clothes!" Tang Yuyan picked up the pillow on the bed and said while patting Meng Yan on the head.
"Oh, I'll go out first, don't get angry." Meng Yan stood up as he said it.
"Hurry up!" Tang Yuyan smashed the pillow out.
"Duo'er, help me get dressed later!"
Meng Yan picked up the pillow that fell on the ground and quickly slipped out.
"Ding ding ding." As soon as he walked out of the ward door, Meng Yan's cell phone rang.
"Brother Meng, we are already outside the hospital, come out." Li Hua's familiar voice came from the phone.
"Okay." Meng Yan hung up the phone and walked outside the hospital gate.
Seeing the strange look on Meng Yan's face as he came up to him, Li Hua and Shen Nongshi looked at each other with a bit of curiosity on their faces.
"Brother Meng." Li Hua took the lead to greet him: "How did you spend last night?"
Shen Nongshi on the side patted him on the shoulder: "You have to work hard! There will be no store like this after passing this village!"
Meng Yan's head was full of questions: "What are you talking about?"
"Pretend to be stupid!" Li Hua pointed at Meng Yan and said with a straight face.
"Pretending to be stupid is not fun enough among friends!"
Meng Yan understood and sighed: "Why have you become like this?"
"Let's get down to business now."
Seeing that Meng Yan had no intention of speaking out, the two of them lost interest. Shen Nongshi on the side took out a photo and a piece of paper from his pocket and handed them to Meng Yan.
"Yesterday's matter has been resolved. Shen Tian called me and said that the pockmarked seeds have been turned into fertilizer."
"But Shen Tian said that before Er Mazi was buried alive, he revealed the news to him, saying that he was instructed by others to find trouble for Tang Yuyan and your daughter."
"This is the number of the people over there. Li Hua told me that this is the number they use in Myanmar. I tried to call it, but it was an empty number."
"That Ermazi is probably on his deathbed and has gone crazy and is talking nonsense."
Meng Yan nodded. He had no clue about this matter. Maybe it was really the nonsense that Er Mazi said madly before he died. Let's write it down for now.
"What is this?" Meng Yan stuffed the piece of paper into his pocket and said looking at the photo under the piece of paper.
"This is a clue about your family's lost heirloom. If it goes as expected, Meng Yan, you should recognize what's on it."
