Gu Mengmeng took him to her mentor's house in Xiaoliu Shu Hutong for a reunion dinner.
The teacher’s wife made delicious sweet and sour fish, braised pork ribs, stir-fried green bamboo shoots, shredded apples and a table full of her favorite delicacies waiting for them. Professor Si and the teacher’s wife saw Conway for the first time and were impressed by his handsome appearance.
He admired Gu Mengmeng's outstanding military temperament and praised him for being lucky.
The teacher's wife said: "Mengmeng has been very competitive since she was a child. I'm afraid Xiaokang will also suffer injustice after getting married."
Conway looked at his wife who had stuffed her mouth with food, her eyes seemed to be smiling.
"Mengmeng was wronged for marrying me."
Gu Mengmeng nodded vigorously and said inarticulately to the teacher's wife: "That's right, he bullied me." With one word, he spit out a piece of rice, which made the teacher's wife unlucky.
Professor Si snorted twice from his nose, slapped Gu Mengmeng on the forehead, and scolded with a smile: "You girl, when will you grow up..."
Gu Mengmeng was about to speak again, but Conway quickly covered her mouth with a tissue, raised her eyebrows and said: "Be careful - bomb!"
Professor Si and his wife looked at each other and laughed helplessly. They looked at the loving young couple in front of them and lamented that time flies by and the once innocent children have grown up one by one.
After the meal, several people gathered around the sofa to look at the photos that Gu Mengmeng brought them. The wife also took out photos of the Qikai family to share. The happy scene made both Gu Mengmeng and Kang Wei feel the warmth of home that they had not seen for a long time.
It was almost 10 o'clock when I left my mentor's house.
Beijing at night is like a fairy tale city covered with ice and snow, with neon lights and flashing lights embedded in it, shining brightly. The vehicles on the road are like elves constantly shuttling in the night, making the
Beijing is charming and colorful. People passing by have lazy or dazed expressions, completely unaware that this kind of encounter is a fate that can only be given by life.
Conway took Gu Mengmeng's hand and decided to walk home.
"Do your knees still hurt?" He put on the hat of her down jacket, pinched her nose which was red from the cold, and asked with concern.
"It doesn't hurt." She smiled sweetly at him. She put her stiff fingers into his warm hands. He combined their hands and stuffed them into the pockets of his military uniform, holding them tightly for fear that she would be cold again.
It’s on.
"How about I take you to the Forbidden City tomorrow?" he said suddenly.
Gu Mengmeng was startled and stared blankly at his handsome face. "I have to go to work tomorrow..."
"I forgot..." Conway patted his forehead, touched her face with a slightly disappointed expression, and said, "Then we have to wait until next time."
Gu Mengmeng suddenly felt as if she had committed a crime. She was as uneasy as the cruel mother-in-law in the legend. Not only did she ignore her husband's request, she also didn't care at all.
She walked silently against him for a while, holding onto his long fingertips.
"Then let me free up the afternoon for you, okay? Let's go to the Forbidden City in the afternoon." She was thinking that if she worked hard and finished her work tomorrow morning, she could ask the editor to take half the afternoon off to accompany him in the afternoon.
It's not easy for him to come back once, and there are even fewer opportunities to go out and play together.
Conway smiled gently at her, "I don't want you to be so tired."
"Not tired, really."
"You will be tired when you wake up tomorrow." He said with certainty. Against the white background, his eyes flickered, gradually revealing an ambiguous meaning.
Gu Mengmeng blushed quietly, but her body involuntarily pressed closer to him. The soldier relaxed his eyebrows, smiled, and held her hand tighter.
"Why do we have to go to the Forbidden City?" She was a little confused.
"Because I haven't been there yet."
"Ah? Never been to the Forbidden City? Didn't elementary and middle schools organize many visits?" She stared at him, feeling a little weird. He was a pure Beijinger, but he had never been to the Imperial City. What kind of aloofness could he be?
"I've never been there! Our school has never organized one." He still felt aggrieved.
Gu Mengmeng squeezed his hand helplessly and said with feigned disdain: "You are a second-generation descendant of a high-ranking official! He can't even match the patriotism of the poor people."
Conway's expression became even more innocent. "What about the foreign devils I defeated? How to count them?"
Gu Mengmeng made a face at him mischievously, "If you didn't see it, it doesn't count!"
"you.."
"what happened to me..."
Gu Mengmeng's nose hurt, and she was suddenly pinched by Kang Wei. Her man pretended to be vicious and threatened her with a stern voice: "See how I deal with you later."
"Tsk! Who's afraid?" She covered her nose and continued to speak harshly.
A hint of intelligence flashed in Conway's eyes, and he suddenly let go of her hand and strode forward. It was an intersection. Turn left and walk two blocks to the back door of Huating. He deliberately shook off Gu.
Mengmeng, let’s see how this little bitch ends.
After walking for a while, I thought she was still following behind me, so I covered my thin lips and pretended to cough.
"Ahem...you must be scared this time." He slowly turned his head and looked behind him, but his expression suddenly became stiff.
At the intersection he just passed, a group of people were gathering to watch the excitement. They were shouting loudly, as if someone was hit by a Volvo Cross Country parked in the middle of the road.
Conway's eyes searched the crowd like a sharp sword. When he found that there was no familiar figure, his heart was hit hard in an instant. Pain and tinnitus hit him like needles, and his heart felt like an instant.
A big hole was opened, and coldness and fear rushed up quickly, making him feel as if he was in a terrifying ice cave. He pulled out his legs and ran into the crowd at a speed that even shocked him.
Close.
Closer.
He seemed to have seen the bright red blood on the snow that was heart-wrenching, and he seemed to hear the painful low cry of the injured in his ears.
He panicked and chose a way out. Feeling extremely guilty, he pushed aside the crowd blocking his view and shouted in a trembling voice: "Mengmeng, Mengmeng! Is that you? Are you injured?"
There was a lot of noise around him, which made his heart become confused and become a demon.
In desperation, he couldn't help pushing aside the few people who were blocking him at the end, and roared with all his strength.
"Mengmeng! Answer me!"
PS: Did you leave a message? I felt so sad that there was no message...
