The airport is always the busiest place in a city. People from all over the world come and go here, forming a unique city silhouette.
Considering that Xu Rongrong was somewhat resistant to strangers, Zhan Yiyang didn't ask anyone to pick him up at the airport. He took Xu Rongrong out of the airport and got in the car directly to go home.
The white Land Rover was speeding on the road. Xu Rongrong's eyes drifted out of the window involuntarily, and a picture of the city fell into her eyes.
City A, an extremely prosperous modern city, is called the Paris of the East. She had heard of it several times when she was in Lushui Town, and had imagined how prosperous this city would be.
Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she realized that there was a kind of prosperity and grandeur that was far beyond human imagination. Only when she saw it with her own eyes could she believe it.
However, the strange thing is that, looking at these strange and prosperous places, she does not feel strange at all, but instead feels...a very kind feeling.
Maybe it's just because she grew up in this city.
"Rongrong."
Zhan Yiyang, who was sitting next to Xu Rongrong, suddenly spoke up, which brought Xu Rongrong's thoughts back. She turned her head and looked at Zhan Yiyang: "Huh?"
"Do you want to know who else is in our family?" Zhan Yiyang wanted Xu Rongrong to be mentally prepared in advance so that she would not be frightened by a room full of people when she got home.
Xu Rongrong thought for a while, nodded, and looked at Zhan Yiyang with clear and harmless eyes, waiting for his next words.
Zhan Yiyang touched her head and told Xu Rongrong one by one, from Commander Zhan and his wife to Xu Rongrong's parents, from Ye Zi'an to Gu Yixuan, and from Ji Fanyi to Min Shiyan.
"They..." Xu Rongrong asked slowly, "Are they all our family and friends?"
Zhan Yiyang nodded and added: "And..."
Xu Rongrong blinked: "Any more?"
"We have a son." Zhan Yiyang said.
Xu Rongrong was stunned for a moment - she and Zhan Yiyang had a son, which was something she had never thought of. But now that she heard about it, the feeling was just like returning to this city, and it was not unfamiliar.
Perhaps, although she couldn't remember many things, she could still recognize them when she saw them.
"I understand." Xu Rongrong nodded.
Zhan Yiyang touched her black hair and held her hand again, only to realize that something seemed wrong.
After feeling it carefully, Zhan Yiyang noticed something was wrong - in Xu Rongrong's hands.
He took Xu Rongrong's hand and looked at her palm. His heart suddenly hurt as if he had been stabbed. Before this, Xu Rongrong had never done any rough work. His hands were slender, small, soft and gentle. But in Lushui Town,
Over the past year, her hands have become calluses, and there is a shallow scar on her palms.
Zhan Yiyang knew all this because she worked in the kitchen.
He also knew that if he could get Xu Rongrong back early, she wouldn't have to endure these pains.
Thinking about it, Zhan Yiyang didn't speak for a long time.
Xu Rongrong seemed to have noticed why Zhan Yiyang was silent, and smiled: "I'm fine."
"Where did the scar on my hand come from?" Zhan Yiyang asked.
"I accidentally got burned by oil once." Xu Rongrong smiled brightly and stretched out her hand in front of Zhan Yiyang, trying to tell him that her hand was intact. "It no longer hurts."
Zhan Yiyang forced a smile and let Xu Rongrong lean on his shoulder, which not only gave Xu Rongrong support, but also made him truly feel her presence.
Xu Rongrong leaned against Zhan Yiyang and stopped talking.
At times like this, she always felt extra at ease, so at ease that she was too lazy to think about anything, let alone being constantly wary of whether Li Daquan would make things difficult for her like before.
An hour later, the car got off the highway and drove onto the winding mountain road in the villa area.
Xu Rongrong looked out the window at the mountains and clear water, as well as the roads lined with big trees, and asked, "Are we almost here?"
Zhan Yiyang nodded: "Yes, it's almost there."
Xu Rongrong pursed her lips. After a while, she felt that the speed of the car had slowed down significantly, and then the car stopped amidst her anxiety.
Zhan Yiyang got out of the car first, then went around to the other door, opened Xu Rongrong's door, stretched out his hand and called Xu Rongrong softly: "Come down."
Xu Rongrong was lying when he said he wasn't afraid, but he still handed his hand to Zhan Yiyang and got out of the car.
"Don't be afraid." Zhan Yiyang raised his lips, "They won't hurt you."
After saying that, he led Xu Rongrong forward. After walking out of the shelter of the car, Xu Rongrong saw the people waiting at the door of his house.
In an instant, she felt like the world was spinning.
There were many people waiting at the door, ranging from old people to children. Every face seemed familiar to her, but she had no memory of them in her mind, let alone called them by name.
Xu Rongrong involuntarily held Zhan Yiyang's hand tighter and walked a few steps. She unconsciously looked carefully at the people at the door and felt that something was wrong with their gazes. She was startled, momentarily uneasy and at a loss.
.
Zhan Yiyang could sense Xu Rongrong's fear. Just when he was about to speak, Xu Rongrong suddenly turned around and shrank into his arms, burying her face deeply into his chest, like a frightened little animal.
"Don't be afraid." Zhan Yiyang could only hug Xu Rongrong tightly and repeat those words, "They won't hurt you."
Xu Rongrong buried his head in Zhan Yiyang's arms and didn't say anything, just relying on him like this.
Zhan Yiyang couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so he had to hold Xu Rongrong first.
Seeing such a scene, the eyes of those waiting at the door were already red, especially He Huilan and Commander Zhan and his wife.
Equally sad was Tianning.
He had always hoped that Xu Rongrong could come back one day, but now that she had finally come back, she didn't recognize him anymore.
It's like you finally get something you've been waiting for, only to find it's not what you wanted.
Tianning wiped her tears, broke away from Liang Shuxian's hand, and walked towards Zhan Yiyang and Xu Rongrong.
"Tian Ning..." Zhan Yilin saw that Xu Rongrong was not in good condition and wanted to call Tian Ning back, but Commander Zhan raised his hand to stop her and motioned for her to let Tian Ning pass.
Commander Zhan believed that even if Xu Rongrong could not remember them, she would not forget Tianning because she risked her life to give birth to Tianning.
Soon, Tianning walked up to Xu Rongrong. He pulled Xu Rongrong's hand and looked up at her, with a layer of mist in his bright eyes: "Mom." The little guy's voice was pitiful.
Almost crying.
Zhan Yiguang looked at Xu Rongrong and then noticed Tianning. Just when he was about to comfort Tianning, he suddenly felt that Xu Rongrong in his arms suddenly stiffened, and then she struggled to leave his arms.
Xu Rongrong was stimulated by Tianning's voice.
She always felt familiar - the little guy's voice was tender and sweet, and she seemed to have heard this child's voice in her dreams.
She turned her head and saw Tian Ning's face, a face that looked exactly like hers and Zhan Yiyang's. If he was not her and Zhan Yiyang's son, she wouldn't be able to believe it.
Yes, this child is her and Zhan Yiyang's son...
At this moment, Xu Rongrong suddenly felt something rushing wildly in her heart. Her eyes were hot, and when she realized what she was doing, she was already squatting down in front of Tian Ning.
Tianning knew that Xu Rongrong had not completely forgotten him, and tears burst out instantly: "Mom."
Xu Rongrong moved her lips twice, but couldn't say anything. In the end, she could only hug Tianning tightly.
Counting it all together, Xu Rongrong was abducted by Pin Ruiyun in September last year, and it has been a full year since September this year. Tianning has not seen her for a full year.
After a year, Tianning returned to Xu Rongrong's arms. He cried loudly, even more sadly than a year ago when he knew that Xu Rongrong might never come back.
Tianning's every cry was like a sharp knife piercing Xu Rongrong's heart. Finally, she could no longer hold back, and tears quietly flowed down her face.
Xu Rongrong didn't know why she was so sad. She only knew that she felt very uncomfortable at the moment, as if she had been grabbed by an invisible hand, and it hurt like she was being wantonly ravaged - she couldn't bear to cry.
After a while, Zhan Yiyang also squatted down, hugged Tianning, and wiped the tears from his face: "Stop crying, let's take mom home first."
The little guy nodded sensibly, wiped away his tears, turned around and took Xu Rongrong's hand: "Mom, I'll take you home."
Xu Rongrong nodded - she could not refuse this angel-like child.
Tianning was very happy, grinned, and pulled Xu Rongrong towards the door.
It's strange to say that the people standing at the door were a little scared just now. But now, she understood that the emotions in their eyes were excitement, and the fear and anxiety in her heart disappeared. Instead, she felt that they...
…extraordinarily kind.
"Mom." When she reached the door, Tianning suddenly stopped and looked up at Xu Rongrong, "Do you still remember grandpa and grandma?"
Xu Rongrong shook his head.
Tianning let go of Xu Rongrong's hand and jumped over to He Huilan and Xu's father: "They are grandpa and grandma!"
Then, the little guy said the names of everyone at the door. He was very busy and finally introduced everyone. He looked at Xu Rongrong expectantly: "Mom, do you remember?"
"..." Actually, Xu Rongrong only remembered He Huilan and Commander Zhan's couple because she looked like He Huilan, and Zhan Yiyang and Commander Zhan had some similarities in appearance. As for the other people, she couldn't remember them for a while. But she was afraid
The expectation in Tianning's eyes turned into disappointment, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhan Yiyang stood up at the right time. He held Xu Rongrong's hand and touched the little guy's head: "Mom is tired. She can't remember so many people. Let her go back and rest first."
Tianning tilted his head, and when he understood, his eyes lit up: "Okay!" After saying that, he took Xu Rongrong's hand and dragged her back to the house.
Zhan Yiyang looked at the backs of Xu Rongrong's mother and son, and finally raised the corners of his lips slightly - he originally thought it was impossible, but in the end, Xu Rongrong came back.
This time, he said nothing would let them separate again.
"Yiyang." Commander Zhan said at this time, "Go back to the house and tell us carefully what happened."
Zhan Yiyang nodded and walked into the house with the others.
