When I woke up again, the quilt was loosely covering me. There was no one in the bedroom, but the sun was setting outside the house. The red sunset filtered in from the window and reflected on the white walls, which was particularly beautiful.
.
She stared at the window for a moment, then remembered to call Chen Mufeng's name.
There were faint sounds of conversation outside, slowly extending from the door to the living room, and finally stopped in front of the bedroom door.
"Auntie... do you think the changes are OK?" His voice sounded completely restored to its previous calmness and calmness. With a hint of caution, he said to Chi Yuyan, who suddenly came to inspect the work.
It was my mother's footsteps, neither light nor heavy, with the intensity of a soldier. They circled around the living room and stopped.
"Not bad... I think this area has been improved particularly well. Xiaojing was not in shape when she was watching TV. The stand you made is just the place for her stinky feet to be put to use..." Chi Yuyan spoke
Always with unconcealable joy...
"Ho ho... Then she should also like it." He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey...where is that girl? Why do you want to be busy alone? You are so ignorant."
"It's okay... Auntie, Xiaojing has been very tired these days. I'll let her take a nap in the bedroom." He explained.
"The sun has gone down, how can we still sleep... I asked her to get up and let's go home and have dinner together." Chi Yuyan was very helpless towards her confused daughter who didn't know what marriage was about.
Chen Mufeng smiled and said, "Wait a little longer. When I first went in to see her, she was still dreaming and calling her mother..."
Chi Yuyan was slightly startled: "Call me mom?"
Chen Mufeng said with certainty: "She may have been dreaming about you..." He did not say that the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes when she called her mother instantly stirred up his heart...
"This girl... the older she gets, the less troublesome she becomes... Mu Feng, Xiaojing will need you to take care of her more in the future... She is not as sensible as you in many ways..." Chi Yuyan sighed.
.
"No, Auntie... Xiaojing, she's fine..." His words caused the two of them to fall into a brief silence.
After a pause, Chi Yuyan said quietly: "Mu Feng, can you forgive auntie for her mistakes back then?"
When Chi Yuyan suddenly mentioned this matter, the expression on Chen Mufeng's face froze slightly.
But he quickly replied sincerely: "I can forgive..."
"Why? Shouldn't you hate me and blame me for breaking up you and Xiaojing?" This was also a knot in her mind that puzzled her. How could he not have any regrets about what happened back then?
Chen Mufeng smiled slightly.
He looked at his elderly mother, whose temples had turned white, and said in a low voice: "I don't blame you, and I have never thought of blaming you. On the contrary, I think Xiaojing is lucky to have a mother who takes good care of her like you.
.. When Xiaojing and I fell in love, I didn’t take into consideration the feelings of you and the chief, and started a relationship without your consent. This was the cause of our separation for six years. You don’t have to blame yourself, and you don’t have to feel sorry.
Xiaojing and I, you are not at fault. It is my fault. It was my weakness and low self-esteem that prevented me from having the courage to save Xiaojing like I do now. I ask for your forgiveness..." There was a bitterness in the corner of his mouth: "
If I had known that you and the chief are such elders who understand justice, I would never have given up on Xiaojing..."
His heartfelt words made Chi Yuyan feel ashamed.
She looked at the outstanding and upright major officer in front of her, and said sincerely: "Auntie was confused back then... I did something wrong... I shouldn't have let you suffer the past few years, everything is my fault... Mu Feng
, you don’t have to defend me, even though I was eager to protect my daughter out of love, I still chose the wrong way and made you suffer..."
"No...it's not your fault..." Chen Mufeng interrupted hastily...
Chi Yuyan still wanted to speak, but a call came from the bedroom.
"Mu Feng------------have you finished?"
The two of them immediately stopped talking and looked at each other... Yao Xiaojing doesn't know?
Chen Mufeng looked at Chi Yuyan to indicate silence. He made a fist and coughed lightly, then reached out and pushed open the bedroom door.
The little man on the bed is half sitting on the edge of the bed, his dark eyes are full of sleepiness, his red cheeks complement the sunset on the wall, not to mention how beautiful he is.
She tilted her head and looked at the two people who came in one after another, and her smile instantly turned into a flower.
"Mom...you're here too!"
Her bright smile made the two nervous people relax suddenly, especially Chi Yuyan, whose heart that was hanging in her throat suddenly returned to its original position.
Her daughter should know nothing...
Chi Yuyan put on an angry expression, glared at her daughter and said, "Mu Feng works hard, but you are sleeping on the side, you are really capable! Yao Xiaojing!"
"I'm sleepy... He also tied me up and I couldn't do it even if I wanted to..." She explained with her big eyes blinking.
Chi Yuyan was surprised: "Tie him up? Why did Mu Feng tie you up? It's all nonsense!"
Yao Xiaojing stretched out her hand to complain: "He is drunk... Drunk men are very self-righteous, you know it." When Comrade Yao Zhiyuan was drunk, he was in a similar situation to Chen Mufeng.
Chi Yuyan glanced over in surprise.
A certain major blushed...
He turned his eyes to the side and explained awkwardly: "Auntie, I was a little drunk just now, but I'm sober now."
Chi Yuyan smiled and patted Yao Xiaojing's head, and scolded with a smile: "You should take better care of Mu Feng when he is drunk. It's better for you, Zhu Bajie beats him first! It's all your fault..."
"Mom..." Yao Xiaojing shouted reluctantly: "You are partial and you are already looking at him before you get married. Who is your biological daughter..."
Chi Yuyan deliberately put her face straight, looked at the two people and said: "I am the fairest. Whoever makes a mistake will be criticized. I will not be lenient!"
"..." Wouldn't it be more appropriate to speak softly? It seems that Colonel Chi Yuyan is also nervous.
"Ahem...um...Mom will wait for you in the car first..." Chi Yuyan showed a hint of embarrassment on her face, said hello to Chen Mufeng and left in a hurry.
Dark unit corridor.
Because the dormitory has not been occupied for a long time, the chain eye has become astringent. Chen Mufeng lowered his body and concentrated on locking the door.
"Xiaojing... please change the lock too. It can't be opened every time. When I'm gone, how can you..." He wanted to say that he would no longer be in Beijing. What would she do if she went home alone?
Is it possible that he still needs help from someone to open the door? But before he finished speaking, Yao Xiaojing behind him suddenly hugged his generous back from behind.
"Xiao Jing..." He was a little uncomfortable at first, but then he was frightened by the hot and wet feeling on his back.
His Xiaojing... cried?
"Xiaojing... don't scare me... tell me if you have any grievances. Do you think our wedding is too hasty?..." He wanted to turn around and rub her into his body to comfort her, but she
But her fingers were tightly clasped around his waist, and her head was rubbing hard against his back: "No... no... Mu Feng... no..." Her voice was almost broken, with a hint of
Trembling.
"Xiaojing..." He became anxious and tried to open her hand to see what was going on.
Her tearful eyes were pressed against his back: "Mu Feng... I will always be good to you... Really! I will be good to you alone for the rest of my life..." Broken, trembling cry
Chen Mufeng suddenly felt a deep sadness and a trace of inexplicable nervousness in his heart.
Could it be that his Xiaojing heard his conversation with Chi Yuyan?
His body stiffened and he asked tentatively: "Xiaojing...what did you hear..."
Her tears became more intense, burning Chen Mufeng's heart that was beating wildly through her military uniform.
A faint bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Do you need to continue asking? Xiaojing obviously understood everything...
He stood there quietly, letting her emotions vent, and then slowly hugged her from behind into his arms.
There is some darkness that you can only cross by yourself;
Some pain can only be experienced by oneself;
Some loneliness can only be tasted by oneself.
However, through the darkness, we can definitely feel the temperature of the sun;
After getting out of pain, we will surely reach the height of growth;
Say goodbye to loneliness, and we will surely gain the depth of our souls!
The spiritual maxims he had read appeared in his mind, and according to his memory, he silently recited them in her ears.
The overflowing tears could not stop her affectionate gaze, and his deep black eyes revealed unparalleled determination...
She kissed his lips and murmured: "I love you, Chen Mufeng... no matter in the past or in the unknown eternity. I love you until death!"
