Ace Husband, do you want to get in the car?

Chen Xiaowu's words made Zhang Xiaomo feel a little bit: "So, not all of you are cold-blooded and emotionless. Just like you, Xiaowu, there must be many people like you, and so is your little brother Dong. .”

Chen Xiaowu nodded: "Yes." Having said that, his expression darkened: "But there is only him. And...he is no longer here."

"It's gone?" Hearing this, Zhang Xiaomo felt even more distressed. In such a painful memory, the only warmth was gone. When Xiao Wu recalled these things, it must have been very painful, right?
Knowing this, Zhang Xiaomo hugged Chen Xiaowu even harder: "It's okay, it's okay! I'm here! We're here! I won't let you alone in the future, and I won't let you suffer anymore."

Huddled in Zhang Xiaomo's arms, Chen Xiaowu finally couldn't help it, tears fell down: "Sister, I..."

"It's okay. After holding it in for so long, it will be more comfortable to cry. Be good! Cry as much as you want." Hugging Chen Xiaowu, Zhang Xiaomo gently stroked his head so that he could cry as much as he wanted.

I don't know how long I cried, but Chen Xiaowu finally stopped: "Sister Mo, I..."

"Okay, this matter is a secret between the two of us, and I will definitely not tell that brat Kaiping." Zhang Xiaomo reached out to wipe the tears off his face for him: "If you miss him...choose someone tomorrow." Let’s pay homage to him. If you need anything, let Suhua prepare it for you.”

"Sister Mo, can you?"

Seeing his hopeful face, Zhang Xiaomo smiled and stretched out his hand to tap his nose: "What's wrong with this? Stupid!" After finishing speaking, she put her arms around him: "It's a pity that Xiaodong is gone, otherwise I will I also really want to meet this good man who protected my Xiao Wu."

"Sister, thank you! I will..."

"Ok, no problem."

After leaving Chen Xiaowu's room, Zhang Xiaomo called Su Hua: "Prepare some sacrifices for Xiaowu. Xiaowu wants to pay homage to his elder brother who helped him tomorrow."

Speaking of this, she paused for a while: "Su Hua, is it my illusion? I always feel that Xiao Wu's mood is a little unstable today. "

Seeing that she didn't know what happened today, Su Hua said, "Ma'am, maybe it was because of the past month or so that he recalled some things in the past, so his mood fluctuated a bit? Since he came back, I felt There is something wrong with his mood, this kind of thing will take time."

"It's all your fault, okay, I have to put him in that kind of place. Look at what he looks like now." Although he knew that Su Hua couldn't stop Chen Xiaowu, Zhang Xiaomo still felt a little uncomfortable: " Don't do this next time, even if you knock him out and tie him up, he won't be allowed to do it again."

"Ma'am, you can't tie everyone you know to a safe place. Just as you want to protect everyone, everyone wants to protect you. If you keep them forever in a safe place, they won't be able to grow, It’s even more incapable of coping with what you might have to deal with in the future.”

Even though he knew that Su Hua was right, Zhang Xiaomo still didn't like it: "I will do my best to protect everyone and never let them leave me."

Facing Zhang Xiaomo's stubbornness, Su Hua didn't know how to persuade her, so he could only nod helplessly: "I'll go prepare something for Xiao Wu, and take him to the suburbs to worship tomorrow morning." As an excuse, he can let him take Xiao Wu out in an open and aboveboard manner.

In the evening, when Chen Yu came back from get off work, Zhang Xiaomo whispered to her in the room.After knowing about Chen Xiaowu's past, Chen Yu felt even more distressed: "In the future, he is not allowed to do these things. It must be done once, and it is too painful to recall."

Zhang Xiaomo sat on the sofa worriedly: "I think so too, but these things are what Xiao Wu has experienced since he was a child, and they have been deeply engraved in his bones. What I worry about is that he can't get rid of the shadow of the past." , I am even more afraid that he will not want to get rid of these because he wants to protect us."

Thinking of Chen Xiaowu's character, Chen Yu felt that what she said was completely correct. Because of this, would he be unable to leave this nightmare for the rest of his life: "What shall we do?"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaomo suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, turned to Chen Yu and said, "Let's send Xiao Wu away."

"what?"

"Send him away, to study abroad. If we let him stay with us all the time, as long as we are in danger, he can't help doing those things. But if we send him away, let him stay in a In a relatively peaceful place, he should be able to slowly get away from the past and do what he wants to do."

In fact, Zhang Xiaomo would be reluctant to make this decision.Although Chen Xiaowu hadn't been home for a long time, Zhang Xiaomo really treated him like a family member. If she really sent him away, she would definitely feel sad.

But if he keeps the other party here, whether Zhang Xiaomo wants to or not, he will never be able to break away from his original life.This kind of thing is likely to make Chen Xiaowu stuck in the past and unable to extricate himself. Zhang Xiaomo doesn't want him to bear this kind of pain.

Compared with the pain of parting, Zhang Xiaomo would rather let him be free, happy, and live a different life.

At this time, Chen Yu also figured it out, she nodded: "It's a bit too obvious to send him away now, let's talk to him after a while. It also happens to be during this period of time, let's see if there is any suitable school for him .Although he knows a lot, he must learn the system well."

Thinking of how Chen Xiaowu studied hard before, Chen Yu suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Then he should be in more pain, right? All these things in China are enough to give him a headache. If he goes abroad...it's scary even thinking about it."

　 After all the laughs, the two decided on Chen Xiaowu's next itinerary.

When I came downstairs at night, Qiu Jin and Long Chengang also came back, and everyone gathered together to eat and drink, and they were happy.But at the end, Zhang Xiaomo suddenly said, "Xiao Jin, are you free tomorrow?"

Qiu Jin was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I'm free."

"I'll take you to a place tomorrow." After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Hua: "Prepare the luggage for two days. We're going to stay there for one night."

Su Hua suddenly understood where Zhang Xiaomo was going tomorrow, he was stunned: "Ma'am!"

"Go get ready."

Knowing that Zhang Xiaomo's decision would not be changed, Su Hua had no choice but to agree: "Yes, madam!"

Seeing the conversation between the two of them, Qiu Jin was a little confused: "What charades are you two doing?"

"I'll find out tomorrow."

At night, after Zhang Xiaomo fell asleep, Qiu Jin came to Su Hua: "Where is Xiaomo going to take me tomorrow?"

Su Hua was silent for a while, and finally shook his head: "I'll know when Miss Qiu arrives tomorrow. Since my wife chooses not to say it, it's not convenient for me to say it."

Hearing what he said, Qiu Jin didn't force it, anyway, Zhang Xiaomo couldn't possibly harm her: "I see. Then I'll go and pack my things." If she wanted to stay there for one night, she could do whatever she wanted, but Long Cheng Ang has not fully recovered yet, so if he wants to go out of the hospital, he needs to bring a little more things.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xiaomo got up early, and after having breakfast with everyone, he asked Su Hua to drive without saying anything, and took Qiu Jin and Long Chengang away together.Originally, Chen Yu and Chen Xiaowu wanted to follow, but Zhang Xiaomo directly refused.

Sitting in the car, Qiu Jin originally wanted to find something to talk about, but Zhang Xiaomo remained silent, as if he didn't want to talk at all.After realizing this, Long Chengang gently held Qiu Jin, shook his head almost invisible to her, and signaled her not to ask any more questions.

While waiting for the car on the flat ground in the suburbs, Qiu Jin got out of the car: "Huh? This place is not bad. Xiao Mo, where did you find this place?"

Seeing her happy expression, Zhang Xiaomo finally brought a smile on his face: "Go and have a look, you will like it."

Pushing Long Chengang all the way, it turned out to be a path full of hydrangeas. At the end of the path, a two-story Jiangnan-style building can be seen from a distance. Behind the building is a lush bamboo forest. It looks like this. Isn't it the place they had longed for before: "It's so beautiful."

As soon as he walked to the gate of the small courtyard, he heard a dog barking inside. Zhang Xiaomo pushed open the gate made of bamboo, and a yellow figure rushed over immediately.She hugged her tightly: "Huangmao, long time no see, miss me?"

In a blink of an eye, two or three months have passed, and the little milk dog at that time has grown up now.It's not as easy as before.

Obviously, after two or three months, Huang Mao still remembered Zhang Xiaomo, he kept licking her, wagging his tail, and howling.It seems that he really misses Zhang Xiaomo.

"Ah, Miss Zhang is here?" Mrs. Song came out of the house when she heard the movement: "It's been a while since I saw you and Mr. Chu."

Hearing Chu Shangyu's name, Zhang Xiaomo smiled reluctantly: "Something happened to him and he went abroad. From now on, I will leave it to me. The rent and the cost of taking care of the house will be paid by me. The housekeeper will give it to Mrs. Song on time. As for other matters, I will leave it to you."

It turned out to be like this, Mrs. Song smiled: "It's not that troublesome, Mr. Chu directly paid the rent for ten years, and you don't have to worry about the rent for this house for the time being. As for me, I usually have nothing to do, just free Come up and take care of it, no need..."

"That's too much trouble for you, you still have to give what should be given."

Now that Zhang Xiaomo talked about this, Mrs. Song no longer refused.At this time, she also saw Su Hua and Qiu Jin behind, and Long Chengang sitting in the wheelchair. She said with great interest: "Today, I have almost cleaned up, so I'll go back first, and you guys take your time." After speaking, she turned and left directly.

Only then did Qiu Jin understand: "Shang Yu made this place...?"

"The secret base of the three of us. There is your room on the second floor. It is a wedding gift for you. There is a bamboo forest behind the house. In winter, we can dig winter bamboo shoots together. In spring, there are spring bamboo shoots, and we can also cut bamboo to make kites... "When he said this, Zhang Xiaomo had already clenched his hands.

"Wow!" Huangmao's voice woke her up from her sorrow, and then she turned her head and pointed to the other side: "Over there, we also raised a group of chickens and ducklings, but after three months now, they should grow big."

"By the way, the swing in the pergola is also..."

"Enough, Xiao Mo, stop talking!" Qiu Jin stopped her, then hugged her gently: "Enough! Stop talking! I know."

Staying in Qiu Jin's arms, Zhang Xiaomo burst into tears: "Xiao Jin, I..."

"Cry, cry! You've held it in long enough, you can cry. With me here, you don't have to hold it in anymore, just cry as much as you want."

Among all the people, only Qiu Jin understood Zhang Xiaomo's feelings best.Once, the three of them were the best friends in the world, and they could give their lives for each other, but unexpectedly, they turned into this appearance in the end.

Even Zhang Xiaomo couldn't forgive Chu Shangyu in the end, but the pain in his heart, the past friendship, and the past best friend, the pain of passing away can't be erased no matter what.But no one can understand the pain.

Only today, Zhang Xiaomo was here, in the secret base prepared by her former friends for the three of them, and in front of Qiu Jin, she could finally indulge her feelings and cry to her heart's content.

Seeing Zhang Xiaomo like this, not only Qiu Jin, but also Long Cheng Ang and Su Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
