After a moment, a cold and slender hand gently fell on her head.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent. It's getting late, so I'll take you in."
Zeng Fang opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't refuse.
The two of them walked forward side by side in silence. Seeing that they were approaching the gate of the small courtyard, Zeng Fang finally couldn't help but ask her doubts.
"Why wait two years?"
"I mean, why can't it be now? Shen Zhen, if you don't even give it a try, how do you know it won't work now?"
Looking at the girl's blushing but determined face, Shen Zhen's heart felt as hot as a fire.
"Little fat girl, I don't want to wrong you. If you give me two years, I will reform and be a new person and live a different life so that you won't be embarrassed in front of your classmates."
"I don't care what anyone says."
"But I care."
Zeng Fang looked at him, her eyes slowly turning red, "Shen Zhen, there is something I have to tell you. I used to, I, I um..."
Seeing two lines of crystal tears rolling down from the little fat girl's eyes, Shen Zhen's forehead felt hot, and he lowered his head and kissed her.
After the kiss, seeing the little chubby girl crying even harder, Shen Zhen stretched out his hand to wipe her tears in a panic, while coaxing in a hoarse voice: "Stop crying, brother is wrong."
Zeng Fang wiped her tears and shook her head, sobbing, "I, I don't want to cry, but I, I can't help it."
Shen Zhen reached out and put her in his arms to comfort her.
Shao Mo came out of the flower room and was about to go back to his room to rest. He vaguely heard voices outside the door and walked over to check.
Through the crack in the door, she saw the two people embracing outside the door. She was stunned for a moment, and then an aunt-like smile appeared on her face.
After an unknown amount of time, Zeng Fang withdrew from Shen Zhen's arms.
"Shen Zhen, very bad things happened to me before."
Shen Zhen looked at her for a moment and coaxed softly: "It's all over. I will protect you from now on. I have already told Zhou Ye and the others that they will take care of you when I am not around."
"But, I have been bullied by bad people, don't you mind?"
When asked this question, Zeng Fang stared at him without blinking.
This was the deepest and most painful pain in her heart. She never wanted to mention it in front of anyone. Today she mustered up all the courage in her life.
If there was even the slightest hint of disgust or disdain on Shen Zhen's face, she would immediately withdraw all her trust and reliance without hesitation.
Shen Zhen also stared back at her for a moment, his face extremely cold, but his tone was unexpectedly gentle.
"Little fat girl, stop talking. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist and kill the person who bullied you."
Zeng Fang lowered her eyes, tears falling down.
Shen Zhen sighed softly and stepped forward to take her into his arms, clasping the back of her head with his long slender hands so that her face could be pressed against his chest.
"Don't cry. I don't mind what happened to you in the past. I just regret that I didn't meet you earlier and protect you earlier."
After hearing these words, Zeng Fang finally couldn't help but cry suppressedly.
It was almost 11 o'clock when Zeng Fang returned to her room. When she saw Shao Mo sitting on the sofa in the room, she quickly and uncomfortably straightened her hair.
"Momo, do you have a problem with me?"
Shao Mo looked at his friend carefully for a moment, then stepped forward to hug him gently, and patted him on the back comfortingly.
"Fangfang, are you okay?"
Zeng Fang also understood something instantly, "Have you seen everything?"
"Yeah, but I didn't mean it. I saw that you didn't come in for a long time. I was worried that something would happen to you."
"Shen Zhen is leaving tomorrow. He asked me to wait for him..."
After hearing the whole story between the two of them, Shao Mo suddenly smiled and said: "I have been thinking that when you graduate and return to Jiang City, we will have fewer opportunities to meet each other in the future, but if you marry and come to the capital, we will be able to meet each other all the time in the future. We met."
Zeng Fang's face turned red after being teased, "Oh, don't talk nonsense, you haven't even written your horoscope yet."
Shao Mo joked, "It's not easy to draw the eight characters."
Zeng Fang held the doll and kneaded it vigorously, "Even if, even if I wanted to, my parents might not be willing to let me marry so far away."
Shao Mo thought deeply, "Well, that's true."
Zeng Fang suddenly became anxious, "Momo, what should I do? You have many ideas, so you must help me."
Shao Mo thought for a while, "It's not impossible to help you, but you also have to do me a favor."
"Tell me, don't say one, ten or eight will be fine."
Shao Mo briefly explained her idea of using Shen Chen for experiments, "I mentioned it to Shen Zhen, but he didn't agree. How about you help me?"
"Oh, needless to say, Shen Zhen asked me to go to the nursing home to take care of his elder brother when I have nothing to do. You can just go with me then."
"Wouldn't this be good?"
"If you really wake up his eldest brother, he won't even have time to thank you. Momo, how sure are you?"
Shao Mo thought for a while, "About 30%."
Zeng Fang opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Thirty percent is pretty high, Momo, you are so awesome. I will take you to see Brother Shen tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go check on him first."
Because Shen Zhen had greeted him in advance, the two of them met Shen Chen easily.
Shen Chen's condition was worse than Shao Mo imagined. Not only was he so thin that he was only skin and bones, he couldn't even breathe on his own and relied entirely on instruments to support his life.
After understanding Shen Chen's situation, Shao Mo asked Zeng Fang to get some hot water to wipe Shen Chen's hands and face. She took the opportunity to take out the Lingquan water and carefully applied the Lingquan water to Shen Chen's lips with a cotton swab.
Time flies by quickly, and winter vacation is here in a blink of an eye.
Shops in Lingchuan don't have a holiday until New Year's Eve, but in order to allow the two Huang sisters to return to Anshi early for the New Year, Shao Mo specially gave Huang Qinghe half a month's annual leave in advance, and bought a lot of holiday gifts for the two sisters to take back to their hometown.
Huang Qinghe stayed in the capital for less than half a year, and his dressing, speaking, and temperament have greatly improved.
Wearing a sheepskin coat and leather shoes, her hair was permed and slightly wavy, and she wore light makeup on her face. Her appearance, which was originally three points, was suddenly improved to eight points, attracting the envy of all the young women in the village. They came to her door one after another to make friends with her.
"Qinghe, your hair is permed really well. The strands look smooth and shiny. How can it be like my hair, which is as permed as a chicken coop? You even charged me 5 yuan for your hair." How much does it cost to get a perm?”
"80 yuan."
"What?! 80 yuan?"
When they heard the price quoted by Huang Qinghe, the young women in the room were shocked.
"Mom, isn't it too expensive to perm hair in this capital?"
Huang Qinghe smiled sheepishly, "It's quite expensive, and I couldn't bear to spend the money. Momo asked me to perm it, saying it was a new hairstyle to celebrate the New Year."
After hearing this, everyone showed envy and jealousy.
Although they say it is expensive, who doesn’t want to get an 80 yuan perm to spend the New Year beautifully?
