his kisses are sweet

Chapter 311 Long-term memory (31) I won't let them hurt you and Niannian

It was Li Zhiyu's voice.

Ah Shu knew this voice because since the beginning of their acquaintance, the former had an inexplicable hostility towards her. Later, after she married Li Yu, Li Zhiyu didn't give her a good look when he saw her at Li's house.

As for where her hostility comes from, Ah Shu is vaguely aware of it.

But at the moment, what she worries most is being recognized by her.

The sound of "treading" footsteps behind him was getting closer, and Ah Shu's whole body was stretched into a fully drawn bow.

Gu Rugui also frowned, he put the key into her hand, "You go to the car and wait."

She took the key and walked towards the parking direction without any hesitation. At the same time, Li Zhiyu's voice sounded again behind her.

"Brother, what a coincidence, why are you here?"

"Come over for dinner with a friend." Gu Rugui replied.

"Do I know?"

"do not know."

The next conversation, Ah Shu couldn't hear clearly, and after closing the car door, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Through the car window, you can see the two figures who are talking. When Li Zhiyu speaks, his eyes will always drift towards her intentionally or unintentionally. Although he is blocked by Gu Rugui most of the time, he still can't help but take a look. Two eyes.

The window was covered with film, and she knew that Li Zhiyu couldn't see her, but she couldn't help trembling.

After coming to Qingcheng for a few days, I almost ran into the Li family face to face, so what next?
No one can guarantee that she can't, and neither can Gu Rugui.

Ah Shu looked ahead, his gaze gradually calmed down.

About 10 minutes later, someone knocked on the window of the car. It was Gu Rugui.

After she unlocked it, he quickly sat in the driver's seat, unlike the turmoil in her heart, his face was calm.

Gu Rugui started the car, and the car drove away slowly. Ah Shu glanced at Li Zhiyu, who was still reluctant to leave, from the rear mirror, and looked down at his palm, "I can't stay in Qingcheng."

"She didn't recognize you."

"Not recognizing me today does not mean that I will not be recognized in the future. I dare not bet on this possibility."

Gu Rugui's hand holding the steering wheel tightened a little, his eyes darkened in the night, "Shen Shu, even if the Li family members know that you are in Qingcheng, and I'm still there, I won't let them hurt you and Nian Nian. "

This sentence is not a reassurance to Ah Shu, it is not that she doubts the authenticity of his words, but that the truth has too many possibilities.

"Shen Nian needs the best treatment."

As if knowing what she was thinking, Gu Rugui blocked all her next words with one sentence. Shen Nian was her weakness, and he handled his weakness very well, because she had to admit that Shen Nian came back After Qingcheng, his physical condition was much better than in Jiangcheng.

She turned her head out of the car window, and the street trees receded. The night in Qingcheng was like a lion crawling in the dark, watching and alerting her.

The scenery outside the car window was more prosperous than in memory, but Ah Shu didn't care to appreciate it. She slowly looked away, but suddenly held her breath when her eyes fell on one spot.

"Stop!" Her voice was a little panicked.

The car slid along the original road for a while before stopping. Gu Rugui followed her gaze suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Ah Shu didn't answer, his whole face was almost pressed against the car window, staring out of the car window at the two middle-aged couples over fifty who came out from the exit of the supermarket.

Professor Shen was pushing the shopping cart, and Mrs. Shen leaned over to look at the shopping bag, and frowned strangely, "Why are you taking walnuts again? There are still a bunch of them at home."

Professor Shen blushed, patted her hand out, and closed the opening of the shopping bag, "I like to eat fresh ones, okay?"

"If you like to eat, why have you peeled a bunch but haven't seen you eat any?" Mrs. Shen mercilessly exposed his lie.

Professor Shen snorted coldly, "Didn't I peel it for you?"

"Come on, I just want to see that you don't waste food..."

Mrs. Shen's voice stopped abruptly. Professor Shen turned his head to look at her strangely, but saw his wife staring at a certain place without moving, her eyes were dazed, "Old Shen, I seem to have seen Xiao Shu..."

Professor Shen glanced at where she could see, the streets were crowded with cars and people, how could there be any shadow of Shen Shu?
The light that suddenly lit up in his eyes gradually dimmed, and his tone was a bit more angry than before, "Don't mention this unworthy girl in front of me from now on!"

Mrs. Shen came back to her senses, she glanced at the walnuts in the shopping bag, "If you don't want to see her so much, then why do you take so many walnuts every day? The only person in our family who likes to eat walnuts is Xiao Shu!"

Professor Shen fell silent for a moment.

"Old Shen, if Xiao Shu is willing to come back, don't drive her out like last time, okay? It's been more than a year, and there is no news. When she disappeared, the child in her belly was just seven months old. Thinking about it, my heart is in a panic!"

He closed his eyes, and his usual radiant expression rarely collapsed at this time, "Do you think I think so? I don't want her to become famous after more than 20 years of love, but why did she do such a disgraceful thing!"

Mrs. Shen wiped her tears and was speechless.

*
The figure of the two elders gradually became a dot.

Gu Rugui handed the paper box to Shen Shu who had been looking out the window, "Don't cry."

"I didn't cry." Ah Shu's voice was hoarse, but there was no trace of crying, "I am very happy to see that they are doing well without me."

She paused, and then said: "The four generations of the Shen family are scholarly, with a strict family style. I am already an outlier among my children and grandchildren, and I did something like that back then... I have already shamed them, so I don't expect them to forgive me." I, as a child, cannot serve beside my parents, after all, it is unfilial!"

Gu Rugui frowned, and the car turned around at the intersection.

Ah Shu noticed that the car had changed direction: "What are you doing?"

"Since I miss you, it's okay to see you again."

"No! I can't implicate them!"

"It won't be a burden, just follow them."

Hearing this, she looked outside, and as expected, she saw her parents walking hand in hand on the sidewalk with shopping bags.

This supermarket is 10 minutes away from Shen's home. Professor Shen and the two did not drive, but walked back. The pace of the two was not fast. Gu Rugui always drove a distance of about ten meters from them. This distance is not enough. As for being discovered, it was enough for Ah Shu to see them clearly.

She saw them greet the oncoming neighbors on the road, saw Mrs. Shen leaning sideways to adjust her husband's collar, and saw Professor Shen subconsciously hugging his wife's shoulders when a bicycle passed by.

In her impression, Professor Shen and Mrs. Shen have never shown love to each other, but she has never doubted their feelings. Looking at the details of the interaction between the two, she suddenly realized what her mother had said to herself. meaning of words.

What is vigorous is only love, and the long flow of water is the foundation of life.

The relationship between the parents has never been vigorous, but they have lived together smoothly for a lifetime.

Such a long-lasting relationship is enviable, but not every couple can have it. In this world, there are actually many helplessness. It is very difficult to find someone who is willing to accompany you hand in hand!
Watching the two walk into the community, Ah Shu looked down at his palm, "Go back."

Gu Rugui stared in the direction of the community, his eyes thoughtful.

*
The night is cold as water.

Ah Shu was sitting on the open-air balcony wearing a thin coat, thinking about the phone call with Sheng Ge just now.

She said: "Ah Shu, I asked the police officer about your whereabouts again today, but this time I didn't hide it from him. Professor Rong said that no matter what you want to do now, you owe him what happened back then. No matter what the result is, he should be given an explanation. I think he is right. In my opinion, Officer Xiang was indeed the most innocent of the events that year. He was full of expectations, but in the end he got a devastating blow. Can you imagine A person as free and easy as he is, has he indulged in the scene of getting drunk in the past year? At that time, Professor Rong could not wake up for a long time, but no matter how uncomfortable he was, he never showed half of it in front of me. Every time I see him playing with Doudou with a forced smile on his face, I feel a deep sense of guilt. Ah Shu, Police Officer Xiang is a good man, he shouldn't be treated like this."

Ah Shu suddenly recalled the Xiang Qi he saw in the hospital not long ago. Compared with the high-spirited and high-spirited man at the beginning, he is indeed much quieter now as Sheng Ge said. The anomaly at that time, now that I think about it carefully, how did he feel mixed when he said the sentence "I have been waiting for your answer to the things you promised me in the United States back then"?
She felt that she was a sinner. Although she never intended to hurt anyone, she ended up hurting many people, including her father, mother, Nian Nian and... Xiang Qi.

But now that the damage has been done, no matter how much she argues, it will be futile. It is undeniable that Xiao Ge is right, she has to give Xiang Qi an account of what happened back then.

But, where should I explain it?
Ah Shu twitched the corners of his lips, looking at the endless night.

No matter how hazy the night is, there will be dawn, but my heart is covered with dust, can I still wipe it clean?
That night, she was sleepless, but she didn't know how long she sat on the balcony, Gu Rugui stood in the dark for a long time, until dawn, when she finally fell asleep leaning on the recliner, he came out from the corner , conveniently lifted a thin blanket on the sofa and walked towards the balcony.

On the open-air balcony, Gu Rugui leaned over and wrapped Ah Shu in a thin blanket, watching her sleeping face in the morning light.

The sleeping woman has a thin body, and her thin face is rarely shiny because of the recuperation these days, and her eyelashes cover her eyelids, casting a faint shadow.

He has always known that she is not considered beautiful compared to her younger sister, but because of her family influence, she has a bookish air that other people don't have, and this bookish air is more vividly reflected when she is sleeping.

The light is shallow, and the woman's face is quiet and elegant.

Gu Rugui couldn't help but raised his hand to touch her cheek. Because of standing for a long time all night, his fingers were a little cold. When they touched Ah Shu's skin, she dodged subconsciously, and her lips brushed against his. Lips, the coolness slowly dissipated, and the breath became extremely hot.

His fingers froze in the air for an instant.

After a long time, his fingers turned around, one hand wrapped around her neck, the other around her knees, and he carried her steadily towards the bedroom.

When Gu Rugui went downstairs, Aunt Fang was preparing the ingredients for the medicinal meal. He glanced at the Chinese medicine in her hand and said, "Miss Shen doesn't like the smell of medicine. Is there a way to cover up the smell with other ingredients?"

Aunt Fang tilted her head and thought for a while, "I'll try."

"Well, it would be best to make her feel like she's not taking medicine, but just eating."

*
Ah Shu didn't sleep for a long time, and it was only nine o'clock in the morning when he opened his eyes in bed.

After waking up, her thoughts were confused for a while before she realized that she was indeed in bed at the moment. She remembered that she was thinking about something on the open-air balcony last night, and then she couldn't resist the sleepiness and closed her eyes for a nap...

Aunt Fang didn't live in the villa, so as for how she got back to the bedroom, the answer is obvious.

She pressed her temples and didn't think too much about it.

Ah Shu is not used to getting up early, nine o'clock seems very early to her, but Gu Rugui has already been to the company for a long time.

Aunt Fang saw her going downstairs, greeted her, and went back to the kitchen to bring out her breakfast. The breakfast was nothing special. The only thing that surprised her was that the daily medicinal soup was changed today. into a bowl of ordinary soup.

She felt strange, and asked casually, "Aunt Fang, are you going to drink this today? Are you sure you made no mistake and won't let me go out after I finish drinking?"

Aunt Fang smiled inscrutablely, "That's right."

Although she was skeptical, the knowledge that she didn't need to drink medicinal soup made her feel relieved. After all, she really didn't like the strong medicinal smell, and today's soup was unexpectedly delicious. She drank half a bowl more than usual.

Ah Shu finished his breakfast, took the thermos bucket from Aunt Fang and drove to the hospital.

As soon as she walked to the door of the ward, she saw a familiar figure standing with her back facing her at the door of the ward, tall and slender, upright.

She hesitated for a moment before walking towards him.

"She is my daughter." Standing behind Xiang Qi, Ah Shu spoke slowly.

Xiang Qi's body stiffened for a moment before he turned to look at her. His eyes were a little complicated. He closed them before saying, "The child is very cute."

Hearing this, she pursed her lips, "Thank you."

After the words fell, a strange silence spread around the two of them.

"Aplastic anemia is not an incurable disease. As long as you find a matching bone marrow, it may be completely cured." He spoke first.

"I know." Ah Shu nodded, she stepped forward and pushed open the door of the ward, "I'll go in and check on the child, we'll talk later if we have something to say."

In the ward, Feng Zhong was doing a routine examination for Shen Nian. The little man was very cooperative at first, but when he saw her, he struggled violently. His little face was flattened into a ball, strongly expressing her pain.

Seeing this, Feng Zhong couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Little guy, I haven't met you yet, but you know how to play with the wind!"

Ah Shu put down the thermos, looked at Nian Nian's delicate appearance, couldn't help but smile, "Doctor Feng, you misunderstood her, she is really afraid of pain."

Niannian stared at her two round eyes, and matched her mother's aggrieved look at Feng Zhong, making the latter feel like he was committing a crime.

Feng Zhong pressed the center of his eyebrows helplessly, put on the stethoscope, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt!"

Shen Nian seemed to understand what he said, and slowly calmed down, cooperating with him to complete the routine inspection.

"The personality is somewhat similar to Doudou's."

An abrupt male voice sounded, Ah Shu raised his head, and found that Xiang Qi had walked in at some time, and Feng Chong also noticed that there was a fourth person in the ward. He took off the stethoscope, and frowned.

Seeing his expression, Ah Shu's heart suddenly sank, "Did Nian Nian's condition worsen?"

He glanced at Xiang Qi, then turned his head and pulled the corner of his lips at her, "No abnormalities were found, on the contrary, the condition is very good."

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Take good care of the child, and don't let too many idlers disturb the child. After all, the child's immune system is not as good as before, and it is prone to infection." After Feng Zhong finished speaking, he looked at Xiang Qi thoughtfully, and then walked out of the ward.

Ah Shu was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Dr. Feng was only thinking about Nian Nian's condition, and didn't deliberately target you."

Xiang Qi smiled disapprovingly, "It's okay."

He didn't care about Feng Zhong's words, but his keenness as a policeman for many years told him that Feng Zhong had an inexplicable hostility towards him, and this hostility was not caused by Shen Nian.In his memory, today was just the first time he saw Feng Zhong. Where did his hostility towards him come from?

Ah Shu didn't notice anything unusual, seeing that he really didn't care, he turned to look at Shen Nian with confidence.Sitting on the bed, the little person stared at Xiang Qi curiously with her eyes wide open, she was not afraid of facing Xiang Qi even though she was usually very shy.

It's really strange!
Ah Shu patted her head, and introduced to her: "Nian Nian, that's Uncle Xiang."

Xiang Qi stood on the spot and did not step forward, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's the first time we meet, please give me your advice."

Shen Nian tilted his head and thought for a few seconds, then suddenly his mouth babbled twice, and then a loud "baa~baa!" came out from his mouth.

For a moment, the two adults in the ward were stunned.

Ah Shu came to his senses, frowned and corrected her, "It's uncle."

"Ba~ba!"

"uncle!"

The little yellow man hit him head-on, Shen Nian's little face was bulging, "Papa!"

"..."

It was extremely embarrassing for Ah Shu to catch the little yellow man, but Shen Nian doesn't know how to say a few words now, she can't explain the difference between father and uncle to a child who is only one year old, right?

Seeing this, Xiang Qi looked down at Shen Nian on the hospital bed, and walked out, "There is a tea restaurant at the entrance of the hospital, I will wait for you there."

"okay."

The door of the ward was pulled shut from the outside, the instigator didn't know it, and the little hand tugged at the little yellow man in her hand, wanting to.

Ah Shu didn't give it to her immediately, but said with a straight face, "Shen Nian, Uncle Xiang is not a father, do you understand?"

Shen Nian was extremely wronged when his mother didn't give her the little yellow man, his eyes were filled with tears, his already pale face looked even more pitiful at this moment.

Her heart softened suddenly, and after sighing, she returned the doll, "Forget it, I didn't expect you to understand."

After getting the beloved little yellow man, Shen Nian finally smiled through tears, happily pulling the doll's clothes with her little hands, and babbling in a language she couldn't understand.

Ah Shu looked at her excited appearance, feeling a little disappointed in his eyes, if he didn't get the matching bone marrow, how long could Shen Nian maintain this state?
Her heart suddenly ached, she didn't dare to think about it.

*
In the tea restaurant outside the attached courtyard, Xiang Qi was sitting by the window, with only half a cup of coffee left in front of him.

Ah Shu sat down in front of him, and the first thing he said was: "I'm sorry."

Xiang Qi looked down at the black coffee in the cup, the color was rich, just like his mood at the moment.

His lips moved, "The pair of tortoises you fostered at my place are very good. They sneaked out of the house a few days ago and made it difficult for me to find them. Now that I think about it, maybe they have a heart-to-heart with you and know that you are back. "

This sentence may sound inexplicable to others, but Ah Shu's palm suddenly tightened.

Before going to the United States, Xiang Qi volunteered to help her move. She put Pipi Qiuqiu in a glass jar and threw it to him, commanding domineeringly: "Take care of my little ancestors. If you don't see them when you come back, the first I'll settle the bill with you."

She remembered that he was holding the glass jar with helplessness and aggrieved expression on his face.

At that time, she was just looking for convenience, but she didn't expect that such a thing would happen later, and she had long forgotten about the tortoise.

Thinking of this, Ah Shu looked at her, "I will find some time to get them back."

Xiang Qi's eyelashes trembled, "Ah Shu, Shen Nian...is that what I think?"
