“Big sister, if you want to scold me, scold me.”
Shen Qinglan felt funny, was she such an unreasonable person?
“Have you been in contact with your family, recently?” Shen Qinglan changed the subject. Yan Xi was an independent individual, and she was free to go wherever she wanted. As long as it did not endanger her safety, Shen Qinglan would not interfere too much.
Yan Xi’s expression darkened. She just received a call from Yan Shengyu yesterday, so she got to know that her parents had divorced and her mother had left Yan’s house. Yan Shengyu didn’t tell her the reason for the divorce, but she could more or less guess it, after all, she had heard her parents quarrelling on the phone.
“Big sister, my parents are divorced.” Yan Xi said softly.
There were only Yan Xi and Shen Qinglan in the living room. Seeing that Shen Qinglan wanted to talk to Yan Xi, Jin Enxi went in.
“My father thought it was my mother who lost my illegitimate sister, so he divorced my mother.” Yan Xi shed tears, and the tears fell on the back of her hand.
“But I believe in my mother, she will definitely not do this. My mother is a very kind person, and she would never do such a vicious thing.”
Regarding Zhao Jiaqing, Shen Qinglan did not comment, after all, she herself suspected that Qin Mu’s disappearance was related to Zhao Jiaqing, but there was no evidence yet.
“I’m an outsider. I can’t talk about things between your parents. Do you have any plans for the future?”
Yan Xi looked confused. She was confused now. She used to have a happy family. Later, she found out that this happiness was fake, but now, even the fake happy family was broken up.
“I don’t know, I just want to be admitted to B University first, and I haven’t thought about other things.”
Shen Qinglan recalled Yan Shengyu’s phone call to get rid of her, and said lightly, “Do you want to study abroad and change the environment? Maybe you will feel happier.”
Yan Xi shook her head, “I don’t want to study abroad, I just want to stay here, here I have my relatives and friends, I don’t know anyone abroad, I will be afraid.”
Shen Qinglan understood her feelings. During the period when she was kidnapped by human traffickers, she was also afraid of unfamiliar environments and people. She lived in fear every day, but this fear was gradually obliterated by other things, thus producing something new.
“Family and friends cannot accompany you for the rest of your life. You are doomed to walk alone in the future. No matter what you face, you must be brave.” Shen Qinglan said slowly.
“Big sister, I know, I will be strong, I just can’t figure it out for a while.”
Yan Xi smiled at Shen Qinglan, “Big sister, do you think my father’s other daughter will come back one day?”
“Do you want her to come back?” Shen Qinglan asked her back.
Yan Xi shook her head, “I don’t know. Her mother caused my parents to divorce. I hate her, but when I think of her leaving her parents when she was very young, while wandering outside alone and not being able to be with her relatives. I can’t hate her.”
Shen Qinglan’s eyes turned heavy, and she looked at Yan Xi with emotions she couldn’t understand, Qin Mu, if you were still alive and knew that you had such a sister, would you do the same? Will you like her just as much as I do?
No, maybe I only like her because I see warmth like yours in her. Yan Xi, I hope you will always be as pure and kind as Qin Mu was back then.
“Yan Xi, no matter what the future holds, don’t be full of resentment towards the world, and don’t hate your father. He is sorry to your mother, but he is not sorry to you. Adults’ affairs should be resolved by them. You are your parents’ child, even if they are not together, their love for you will not lessen, do you understand?”
Yan Shengyu asked Shen Qinglan to say this, to be exact, Zhao Jiaqing asked her, no matter what Zhao Jiaqing was, her heart for Yan Xi, she would not refuse this request, which was why she was here waiting for Yan Xi to come back today.
Yan Xi stared at Shen Qinglan in a daze, looking at Shen Qinglan’s loving and warm eyes, her eyes turned wet again, then she nodded vigorously, her voice choked, “I understand, big sister.”
It was already very late when Shen Qinglan walked out of Shangyayuan. She took out her mobile phone to check the time, and called Fu Hengyi. Fu Hengyi was still awake. When he saw Shen Qinglan’s call, he immediately picked it up.
“Qinglan.” The deep and magnetic voice was as warm as ever, especially at night like this.
The corner of Shen Qinglan’s mouth curled slightly, “Are you busy with work?”
“Just finished.” Fu Hengyi listened carefully with his ears sideways, “Are you still outside?” He heard the car horn.
“The ears are really good.” Shen Qinglan said, “I just got together with some friends, and now I’m planning to go home.”
Fu Hengyi only thought that he was with Yu Xiaoxuan and the others, so he didn’t ask much, just asked, “Did you drink?”
Shen Qinglan shook his head, “No, I drank juice.”
“Iced?”
“No, at room temperature.”
Fu Hengyi was satisfied, “The Chinese medicine doctor I told you before has returned, and I will be back in a few days, so let’s go have her take a look.” Shen Qinglan’s body was cold, and every time she had her menstruation, she would feel abnormal pain. Although she could bear it, Fu Hengyi still felt distressed. He heard from others that taking traditional Chinese medicine could rectify this problem.
“Actually, I can go by myself.” Shen Qinglan didn’t mind going to have a look.
“I’ll go with you, you wait for me for two days.” Fu Hengyi insisted, and Shen Qinglan naturally wouldn’t say no.
“Hengyi, are you asleep?” A female voice suddenly came out from the phone, and Shen Qinglan’s expression froze for a moment, but returned to normal in an instant.
Hearing the voice outside the door, Fu Hengyi looked a little unhappy. He glanced at the mobile phone that he was talking in, and explained softly, “It’s a military doctor from the army. I have a headache today. So, she gave me painkillers. Don’t think too much about it.”
Fu Hengyi had an old headache today. He didn’t intend to tell Shen Qinglan originally, but if he didn’t explain clearly now, he was afraid that Shen Qinglan would be overwhelmed. Although he knew that Shen Qinglan was not such a narrow-minded woman, there was no need to misunderstand him. He definitely didn’t want such a thing to exist.
Shen Qinglan didn’t think much about it at first, but when she heard Fu Hengyi say that he had a headache, she immediately became nervous. If it wasn’t for the severe pain, why would he need to take medicine? It’s fine, it’s the military doctor who made a big fuss, don’t worry.
Shen Qinglan was still a little worried, “Let’s talk here first, you go to open the door first, since the military doctor has prescribed the medicine, it must be necessary to take medicine, you take the medicine quickly and take care of yourself, and take proper rest.”
“I’m really fine.” Fu Hengyi emphasized.
“Don’t make me worry.” Shen Qinglan said lightly, and Fu Hengyi immediately compromised.
Hanging up the phone, he got up and went to open the door. Outside the door, Jiang Wenjing was still waiting there. Seeing Fu Hengyi, she smiled gently and handed him a box of painkillers, “I heard from the political commissar that you have a headache. I prescribed some painkillers for you, if you really can’t bear it, you can take some.”
Her hands were beautiful, they were hands meant for holding a scalpel, slender and fair, Fu Hengyi’s eyes fell on the medicine box in her hand, then without reaching out to pick it up, he said with a slightly cold expression, “I don’t need painkillers, you can take them back, it’s getting late, I’m going to bed.”
The smile on Jiang Wenjing’s face froze, “I just want to care about you, after all we have known each other for so many years, even if we can’t be lovers, can’t we even be friends?”
Fu Hengyi frowned slightly, “I’m already married, I don’t want others to have unnecessary misunderstandings.”
The expression on Jiang Wenjing face faded away, she stared blankly at the face in front of her that fascinated her, “Hengyi, I know you are married, and I have no other intentions, I just want to get along with you as a friend, is that okay?”
“No.” Fu Hengyi only gave her two words, and then closed the door. Jiang Wenjing’s hand was still held there, in an awkward posture.
“Sister Wenjing, what are you doing at the door of my eldest brother’s dormitory?” Gu Yang’s idle voice came from behind, Jiang Wenjing froze, retracted her hand, turned around, and saw Gu Yang leaning against the wall, covered in a training uniform, his hat dangling in hand, standing still.
Jiang Wenjing smiled softly, “It’s nothing, you haven’t slept so late, what are you doing here?”
“I came to find my elder brother.” Gu Yang gave Jiang Wenjing an expression of “Are you stupid, you can’t even tell it”.
Jiang Wenjing was embarrassed and changed the subject, “Your elder brother seems to be asleep.”
“Oh.” Gu Yang responded casually, looking at Jiang Wenjing, “Sister Wenjing, what are you doing with your hands behind you? Are you holding something?”
“It’s nothing, it’s getting late, I’ll go back to sleep first.” Jiang Wenjing left a sentence and left in a hurry.
Gu Yang sneered, looked at Jiang Wenjing’s embarrassed back, and shook his head. Jiang Wenjing was Fu Hengyi’s former classmate, probably a junior high school classmate. Later, Fu Hengyi went abroad and joined the army directly after returning. And Jiang Wenjing became a military doctor.
It was just that Fu Hengyi was quickly selected into the special forces at that time, and he was basically no longer in the capital, and Jiang Wenjing had no chance to see him. This time when Fu Hengyi came back to be an instructor, he met Jiang Wenjing.
Jiang Wenjing often appeared by Fu Hengyi’s side. Even if he didn’t understand at first, how could anyone not understand now that Dr. Jiang had taken a fancy to Captain Fu.
If Shen Qinglan didn’t show up, Gu Yang would have been very optimistic about Jiang Wenjing. After all, most men would like girls who were good-looking and good-natured. But after seeing Shen Qinglan, Gu Yang suddenly felt that girls should just be like his sister-in-law who were capable in both scholarly and martial arts.
Gu Yang knocked on the door, “Brother, open the door.”
There was no movement inside, Gu Yang continued to knock, “Brother, if you don’t open the door, I will call and tell my sister-in-law that you are dating a young lover in the army.”
The door was opened soon, but Fu Hengyi’s expression was very cold, Gu Yang shuddered involuntarily, with a flattering smile on his face, “Brother, I was just joking just now, don’t take it seriously.” Fu Hengyi looked at him coldly.
“You don’t sleep most of the night, and you still have time to hang out. It seems that Company Commander Fang has been very lax with you recently. I need to talk to him tomorrow.”
Company Commander Fang was the company commander of Gu Yang’s company and was usually in charge of their training.
Gu Yang made a bitter face, “Brother, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I was really just joking with you, who is my elder brother, he is a cold-faced god of war, except for my sister-in-law, for other woman he doesn’t even bother to look at them.”
“Don’t play tricks, just talk about business.” Fu Hengyi was suffering from a headache and was too lazy to waste time here with Gu Yang.
“That big brother…” Gu Yang hesitated, “Can you discuss it with grandpa and let me retire early, life in the army is really not suitable for me, I hang around a group of big men all day, covered in sweat, from morning to night, there is no time for even clothes to dry.” Gu Yang complained about the life in the army.
He hadn’t been in the company for a month, and he couldn’t take it anymore. Although he would be thrown into the army by Mr. Fu for training during the winter and summer vacations since childhood, that kind of training was not comparable to the current formal training.
“Too bitter?” Fu Hengyi glanced at him coldly, especially when he stayed with the crooked hat on his head for a while, Gu Yang came to his senses and quickly put the hat back on.
“It’s not that I think it’s bitter, but that life in the army really doesn’t suit me. Look at my sloppy personality. I don’t look like a soldier. Isn’t that an insult to the word soldier?” In order to leave the army as soon as possible, Gu Yang is also fighting hard, not hesitating to belittle himself.
“You’re quite self-aware.” Fu Hengyi said lightly.
Gu Yang’s face brightened, “Then can I leave the army?”
“Calling the ancestors is useless, want to leave the army? You call grandpa yourself, if you can persuade him, I will let you leave.”
Gu Yang drooped his head, this was not nonsense, if he could persuade Mr. Fu, he would have already done that, why would he wait until now, “Brother, just help me.”
Fu Hengyi was not in a hurry to drive him away, he pulled a chair and sat down, “Gu Yang, let’s settle the score.”
Gu Yang subconsciously stood up straight and looked at Fu Hengyi defensively, “Brother, we… There is no debt between us, and I have never borrowed money from you.”
