Dear girl

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Song Xinci, who smelled of alcohol, came back from outside.Xia Yao's heart ached, but she felt relieved when she came back.

Song Xinci hooked Xia Yao's neck: "Sister Yao, I have a headache."

"I know, I know." Xia Yao supported Song Xinci on the bed, first helped Song Xinci take off his shoes and socks, and then took off his coat.Let Song Xinci face up, so he can breathe better.

Xia Yao stood by the bed, looked at Song Xinci as if falling asleep, her chest rose and fell regularly with her breathing, then turned around and went to the bathroom to wring out a wet towel.

Xia Yao sat on the head of the bed, let Song Xinci's head rest on her left arm, and gently wiped Song Xinci's face with a towel in her right hand.After wiping your face, wring out a wet towel to wipe your hands.

Help Song Xinci cover the quilt, sit by the bed and watch Song Xinci in a daze.Looking at it, Xia Yao leaned over to kiss Song Xinci's forehead, but just as he touched it, the back of her head was suddenly pressed.

Song Xinci opened his eyes, trying to pry Xia Yao's mouth with his tongue without smiling.

Shocked, Xia Yao stood up from the bed and was about to go out, but her footsteps were stuck because Song Xinci said behind her——

"I love you."

Song Xinci sat up and leaned against the head of the bed: "You go."

Xia Yao didn't move, she was really, really reluctant.

Song Xinci: "As soon as you come back, play dumb with me, just because I haven't said this sentence."

Xia Yao lowered her head, of course not.

Song Xinci lifted the quilt, his face was still red with the smell of alcohol, "I know why you have been avoiding me."

Xia Yao squeezed her fist.

Song Xinci was wearing slippers: "At first I thought it was because my grandfather and father had looked for you, so you didn't discuss it with me and just walked away. Actually it's not, right..."

Song Xinci said, hugging Xia Yao from behind: "Actually, it's because of...depression, isn't it?"

Xia Yao hesitated: "You..."

"How do I know." Song Xinci helped her finish the sentence, "You resigned from Yangchuan Daily, and in the cardboard box you brought back were..." medical certificates and medicine.

"Do you think you left me for my own good?" Song Xinci said with a smile, "Fool, what are you thinking about?"

"No matter where you go, I will accompany you." Song Xinci kissed Xia Yao's side face, "Anywhere...anywhere."

Song Xinci let go of Xia Yao: "Are you still going? If you want to go, just go. In the worst case, I'll waste time with you. I'm very patient."

Xia Yao took a step forward.

Song Xinci: "You're really going." I made it so clear.

Xia Yao smiled lightly: "I'll warm the milk for you."

"Pfft." Song Xinci went up to hold Xia Yao's arm, "Sister Yao is the best."

"There is also hot water." Xia Yao raised her eyebrows, "Who made a certain guy have cold hands and feet, and spleen and kidney yang deficiency."

Song Xinci laughed: "But my heart is very hot."

"You still have the nerve to laugh." Xia Yao scolded, "Who made you drink so much wine?"

Song Xinci: "You really think I'm drunk, just kidding, I think back then..." As he spoke, his voice became softer.

Xia Yao shook Song Xinci's hand, and said softly, "Let's wait for Uncle Song together, okay?"

Song Xinci lowered his head, with a flash of disappointment on his face, and then smiled again: "Uncle Song... Should you consider changing your name?"

Xia Yao: "Why don't you wait for me in the room."

Song Xinci: "Call me Dad."

Xia Yao: "I'll send the milk in later."

Song Xinci shook Xia Yao's arm: "Oh~"

Xia Yao glanced at Song Xinci, and called out "Dad" in a low voice, still a little awkward.

"Yeah." Song Xinci looked extremely happy, "Now Sister Yao is really mine."

Xia Yao looked out of the window, lowered her head and smiled.

It's been yours for a long time, it's been yours since many years ago.

**

During the Ching Ming Festival, Xia Yao went to the cemetery to offer incense to Lao Yang.

After the reports came out, NATO unanimously approved the proposal for military intervention.The already tense army was defeated and was soon liberated peacefully.

But Lao Yang will never come back.His body and soul merged with that sky, and he martyred his life for his ideal.

Buried under the tombstone is the camera he used during his lifetime.

In that small building, he said to Xia Yao, if your photos are not good enough, it is because you are not close enough. 【Note】

Finally, he used his actual actions to pay tribute to his boyhood idol - Robert Capa.

Xia Yao saw Yu Jie in the cemetery, she came to say goodbye to Ninth Sister, and she was going abroad on the plane tonight.

They chatted for a while and then separated.

**

Xia Yao confessed to her family about the matter with Song Xinci. She thought it would be a little twists and turns, but she didn't expect that even her grandparents would accept it happily.

The whole family came to Yangchuan to have dinner in grand dress.

Song Xinci was at the dinner table, and she was moved to tears while eating.

When parting, Xia Yao's grandmother gave Song Xinci a jade bracelet.

Because crossing the river and relocating soon, they dug out the family heirloom jade bracelet that was buried under a tree when grandma was a landlord lady.It should have been given to Xia Yao's mother, but in those days, it was necessary to avoid suspicion.Just left it alone.

Then it was officially given to Song Xinci.

During Song Xinci's few days, the hand wearing the bracelet didn't dare to move much.Wearing a big antique feels really, really luxurious...

It was also on that day that Xia Yao found out that her family had two apartments in Ningzhou.It was compensated after the house demolition of my grandparents.There were originally four sets, but two of them were sold by the Xiali couple during these years to support students in mountainous areas.

There are two more, one is going to be sold, and the other will be bought in the new place to take care of Xia Yao's grandparents.They will continue to teach in Xinduhe.

One set is for Xia Yao's dowry.

Xia Yao refused, she wrote articles by herself, and went to work after she was emotionally stable, so it would be no problem to take care of Song Xinci.

Or sell it and donate it.

In mid-April, Xia Yao went to see He Wei in the prison.

Xia Yao sat outside: "I finally know why I am so successful in Chunjiang Huayue."

He Wei's smile was still so sunny, with a sense of indifference: "I'm sorry, sister Xia, I can't help it. But, I'm curious, how did you know?"

Xia Yao: "Yu Jie said that your mother is not in good health, and she doesn't have time, so please let me take a look. She also said that you were almost expelled from college, and the journey was not easy."

He Wei's smile was a little stiff, and he said after a while: "I am sorry for her."

……

At the end of the visit, Xia Yao asked, "Have you ever regretted it?"

"Of course not." He Wei smiled again, "After all, my mother is still alive, isn't she?"

He Wei was the chairman of the student union in his junior year. He came from a poor family and relied on scholarships and other people's funding to successfully go to university.His mother had a stroke that year, and his brothers and sisters didn't care.At that time, the school was organizing an activity, and he embezzled the funds.When caught by the school, not only was he almost expelled, but he was also almost imprisoned.In the end, the vice principal of the school came forward and helped him settle the matter.The condition is to be an undercover agent.He Wei was selected because he and Yu Jie used to be boyfriend and girlfriend.

Yu Jie was He Wei's first love. At that time, Yu Jie was broken up by Ninth Sister, and he felt guilty after breaking up with him. He Wei said that he hoped Yu Jie would help him go to work in Chunjiang Huayue.Yu Jie asked her father to arrange it.

He Wei just said that he only wanted to investigate Xia Yao on the day Xia Yao and Qian Shaoma had a conflict.Because Lu Renjie was beside him at that time, he called his cousin in a low voice.They chatted for a few words and learned about the background and identity of Song Xinci.She thought to herself, with her family's conditions, she probably wouldn't let her friends serve the bar.If they weren't friends, how could they help out?Then, it's simple, as long as you have the heart, you can find it out.This is not their original plan, but it is not tiring to push the boat along the way.

The vice-principal and Wang Qiang, secretary of the discipline inspection committee, are classmates.

When Lao Yang was in the resettlement camp, he confessed to Xia Yao why they could go to the battlefield.It stands to reason that Yangchuan Daily does not have this condition.

It was Lao Yang that Yu Jie's father had promised, as long as Fu Chunrong and Wang Xiangyong were pulled out, he would use his relationship to send them to the battlefield to report.

Wang Xiangyong and Wang Qiang are relatives.

As for Lao Yang, going to the battlefield is his ideal.His children have grown up too.

Also, Lao Yang asked Xia Yao to tell Song Xinci for him, saying sorry.The reason why she was pushed to the front of the stage was just to stir up topicality.Yu Jie's father has someone in Yangchuan Daily, and of course Wang Qiang also has one.The local media will not explode.

That's why they were beaten on the mountain that day, it was so simple.Because it was shut down by the public relations, it would be good to learn a lesson.Unexpectedly, Lao Yang kept a hand. In addition to giving the video and evidence to the foreign media, he also used the label of Song Xinci's rich second generation to stir up popularity and push things up.

The real shareholders of Chunjiang Huayue are Yu Jie's father and Song Xinci's father.Just a few days ago, Yu Jie's father and Wang Qiang were killed by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.Their infighting revealed a lot of lies.

After Song Wentao was imprisoned, Liu Wei came to look for them.Why did they know to threaten her with Song Xinci after Xia Yao got the real ledger from Hewei?Simple because they understand.Liu Wei understood.

Also, why must Song Xinci go to Ningzhou to count the traffic of those convenience stores.In fact, those convenience stores were used by Song Wentao to launder money.He wanted to expose his daughter to the dark side of society and persuade her to immigrate.For some reason, I changed my mind later.

Liu Wei said that actually Song Wentao didn't want to hold shares in Chunjiang Huayue, but there was no other way.Yu Jie's father was Song Wentao's senior, and when he was the section chief, he gave Song Wentao a shantytown renovation project, which was the beginning of Song Wentao's real step into the business world.

But, in their world, friendship is unreliable.Only the grasshoppers on the same rope are their own.So Yu Jie's father always brought Song Wentao with him for every project.

Song Wentao didn't want to join forces, but he had no choice.His resistance can only be that he does not use underground money laundering like Yu Jie's father, but uses the most primitive and stupid method to separate the dividing line between the two.

And the death of Ninth Sister, the driver also confessed.It wasn't something that caught Yu Jie's father and was murdered to silence him.On the contrary, Yu Jie's father loved Jiu Jie very much, even to the point of obsession.So when he sensed the danger, he immediately wanted to send Jiujie out.The driver that day was actually here to pick up Sister Jiu.And the reason for the quarrel was that Ninth Sister didn't want to leave.

She might have had enough of this kind of life, enough of the prison that that person had circled for herself, and even used cameras to monitor her outside.Even if she goes abroad, there will be a bunch of people looking at her.Even if that person is in jail, as long as it is not the death penalty, she should wait for him to come out.

She had had enough, so she chose to end it all herself.

Song Xinci's Song's socks industry has also begun to make profits.

Song Xinci was waiting outside the prison. After Xia Yao came out, he went up to hold Xia Yao's hand.

Song Xinci tightened Xia Yao's hand: "At this time last year, I was still looking for you all over the world."

Xia Yao raised Song Xinci's hand: "Hey, your hands are not cold anymore."

Song Xinci looked at the flowers in the distance: "It's spring now."

Xia Yao looked up at the sky: "Yes, it's spring."
