My Groom Ran Away - Chapter 53

After hesitating for a while, she still murmured her refusal: “You have heard it all, I don’t want to say any more.”

If she didn’t want to coax him, she wouldn’t be the one who could say “I love you” casually.

Now that he had heard it, Ruan Zhiyin didn’t want him to record the words. Who knew Cheng Yuelin would do shameless things after recording the sound.

Seeing that he was not angry anymore, she changed the subject: “Why are you here?”

Cheng Yuelin’s eyes stayed on her face for a moment, and did not force her to say it again. He hugged her a few steps and sat on the sofa in the bedroom, and then helped her to pull the tossed lapels of her clothes, and said clearly, “I’m not going to Xu County.” I’m going on a business trip next month. I’ll go with you first.”

Towards the end of the year, both of them were very busy with their work. He is going on a business trip to the UK next week, and Ruan Zhiyin will also go abroad soon to lead the team to compete with CF.

“You just come here, are you okay in the company?”

Cheng Yuelin shook his waist: “It’s okay, there are Qian Fan and Zhong Yi.”

For the year-end award, Qian Fan was busy making up for his merits, and wished to put Cheng Yuelin on the plane.

He neither needs to fall in love, nor does he want to go back and be urged to marry by his parents nagging.

“That-”

Ruan Zhiyin also wanted to ask him if he would stay in X Province for a few days, but as soon as he spoke, the man’s scorching breath came up again, and he closed her lips again, with a stronger emotion than before.

This time, it was more than a pro.

When he moved onto the bed, he was pressed by him, and the surging tide surged. Ruan Zhiyin had to leave behind the pile of problems in his mind.

Cheng Yuelin’s movements seemed to be a bit more intense than usual. After she was exhausted, she was nestled in his arms, and the hand he held when she was confused and in love remained unreleased.

Before long, sleepiness gradually hit.

After a busy day, Ruan Zhiyin is already a little tired, but his eyes are heavy, but he seems to be very energetic. The kisses started to fall bit by bit again, and she pushed him in a daze, complaining in her voice: “No more.”

In the next second, Cheng Yuelin stopped, and his arms around her tightened tightly. The silent gaze fell on her soft side face, which became deeper and deeper in the surrounding darkness.

Perceiving his silence, Ruan Zhiyin opened his eyes slightly, and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s okay.” He touched her head. “Go to sleep.”

Knowing that she is sensitive, she has something to say, but she is afraid of pressure in her heart.

Too sleepy, Ruan Zhiyin heard the words and didn’t think much. He responded softly and fell asleep with a pillow on his neck.

—

There is still some finishing work to be done. Next, Ruan Zhiyin stayed in Jiahong for another day.

The next day, the Investment Bureau really took the initiative to form a bureau to help contact the people from the Land Management Bureau on the site of the factory that Nan Yin wanted to take. As for the location, it was in the conference room of the Zhoudao Hotel.

This time, Qin Yue did not appear.

The Section Chief Wang, who had been in charge of communicating with Kang Yu, saw Cheng Yuelin who had accompanied Ruan Zhiyin and apologized to her vaguely.

“Unexpectedly, Ms. Ruan turned out to be Mrs. Cheng’s wife. If there is any negligence before, Ms. Ruan must not care about me.”

Lin Heng has invested and developed a lot of real estate in Jiahong, as well as other technical businesses, but Qin has only deployed the industry to X Province in the past two years.

The other party saw the process Yuelin. He didn’t expect it. He just wanted to save Qin Ju’s face, and he would almost do something bad, so he could only pay 120,000 points of caution.

Ruan Zhiyin raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: “I don’t understand the negligence of Section Chief Wang. Do you want to say that the meal last night was too boring?”

When Section Chief Wang heard the words, some sweat broke out on his head.

Yesterday, he was only hinted by the assistant Zhai next to President Qin that he made a call when it was a couple who was awkward. He thought, even if this Miss Ruan might be guilty, preparing for this round today would be regarded as a guilty condemnation. How could it be expected that it would be like this.

The opponent is now clearly implied warning.

After Ruan Zhiyin hinted, he turned around with a smile: “Since you also think that the food is not good, you still have to learn a lesson in the future, are you right?”

Section Chief Wang carefully glanced at Cheng Yuelin, who was standing by and did not speak, and wiped his sweat: “Yes, Miss Ruan is right. Don’t worry, it won’t happen in the future.”

Give him ten courage, and don’t dare to help this already married man anymore. I don’t know what Qin always has, so he has to worry about his wife.

…

With Section Chief Wang on the line, all subsequent conversations went smoothly, and the intention of cooperation was basically set.

The next thing was just going through the process. Ruan Zhiyin handed it directly to Zhang Chun, then pulled out and went to Xu County with Cheng Yuelin.

Xu County and Jiahong are not far away, and it takes only over an hour to drive. However, unlike Jiahong’s prosperous capital as the provincial capital, Xu County is just an ordinary county town with a much simpler environment and a slow pace of life.

The two set off at nine o’clock, and the car drove into the old town of Xu County before 11 o’clock.

On the street, the crowd came and went. There are not many cars on the road, which is not a traffic jam. The brand-new asphalt road is interspersed with bluestone alleys, children are playing around in front of the store, and there are snacks hawking in the car on the road.

Ruan Zhiyin looked at the surrounding scene, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar.

Even if she saw some storefronts buried in memory, she had been away for ten years, and today Xu County has changed a lot after all.

The car passed through the old city and stopped at the door of the orphanage with the navigation.

As soon as the two got out of the car, a middle-aged man wearing this tunic and glasses greeted him and asked tentatively, “Excuse me, is it Miss Ruan?”

“It’s me, you are Dean Yu.” Ruan Zhiyin smiled and nodded, “I really trouble you. I’m still waiting for us here.”

“It should be.” Dean Yu also smiled.

The men and women in front of them have outstanding looks and temperament, and at first glance they are from a wealthy family. When Cheng Yuelin nodded to say hello, Dean Yu couldn’t help being a little cramped.

After leaving the orphanage, Ruan Zhiyin subsidized the tuition of several children in the orphanage every year.

Dean Yu came to the orphanage six years ago, and has been in touch with her, but never met. The other party didn’t know that Ruan Zhiyin had lived in an orphanage, so she only regarded her as a kind sponsor.

Facing Dean Yu’s kind smile, Ruan Zhiyin said again: “By the way, we brought something to the children in the orphanage.”

“It’s a waste, shall I show you around?”

Ruan Zhiyin nodded: “That’s hard for you.”

Before coming to Xu County, Ruan Zhiyin asked Kang Yu to prepare some clothes and books for her, all of which were in the trunk.

Dean Yu called the staff of two orphanages to move things, and then led them into the orphanage.

Ruan Zhiyin and Cheng Yuelin followed the dean unhurriedly, listening to Dean Yu introducing the status quo of the orphanage.

I thought that after returning to the orphanage, the kindness that had been gone for a long time should be born.

But the renewed buildings around him were completely different from the old impression in his memory, Ruan Zhiyin suddenly felt a little strange.

Looking at the roster brought by the dean, there are also names she is not familiar with.

Yes, she has been away from Xu County for ten years, and everything has changed, including… the orphanage she used as her family.

Inexplicably, I felt a little stunned.

She murmured: “The orphanage has changed a lot.”

Dean Yu only assumed that she had been here before, and he nodded and explained with emotion: “In the past few years, the county has helped to renovate twice, and two buildings have been expanded. The layout has changed. There are often children who go out to send mails. When the money comes back, it is much better than the old orphanage.”

Ruan Zhiyin slowly nodded, glanced at the canteen that had been converted into a dormitory, and caught a glimpse of a five or six-year-old girl with a ponytail standing behind a pillar a few meters away.

Dean Yu naturally saw it, and deliberately shouted at the child with a straight face: “Yuanyuan, everyone is taking a nap right now, have you sneaked out again?”

The little girl called ‘Yuan Yuan’ shrank back towards the pillar, then leaned out again, reluctantly stepping towards the door of the dormitory by Ruan Zhiyin and the others.

When he walked to Ruan Zhiyin’s side, Yuan Yuan glanced at her beautiful dress, fearing that Ruan Zhiyin would see it, and quickly withdrew his round and shy eyes.

“Wait, this one is for you.”

Ruan Zhiyin took out a few candy from the side pocket of Cheng Yuelin’s suit, smiled and handed it to Yuan Yuan.

The road from Jiahong to Xu County was being built, which was quite bumpy. They set off early in the morning without having breakfast. Afraid of hypoglycemia, Ruan Zhiyin deliberately put a few candies in Cheng Yuelin’s pocket and ate a few on the way here.

When persuading a man to eat sweets just now, he resisted a bit, and finally only reluctantly tasted one at her request, so that there was still a lot of it left.

Ruan Zhiyin didn’t have a place to put his skirt on, so he stuffed all the sugar into the pocket of his suit.

Yuan Yuan took the sugar in Ruan Zhiyin’s hand and whispered, “Thank you, sister.”

Then bowed his head and ran into the dormitory.

Looking at the short figure disappearing in the corner, Ruan Zhiyin couldn’t help but smile. Back then, she always sneaked out with Lin Lang during the lunch break.

—

After coming out of the orphanage, Dean Yu knew that they would stay in Xu County for two days and had not booked a hotel yet, so he led them to an express hotel near the orphanage.

The hotel is not far away. Dean Yu sent them to the door and said embarrassingly: “I don’t know if you are not used to living, there is only this hotel nearby.”

Xu County is just a small county with no tourist attractions, so there are really no good hotels.

Ruan Zhiyin didn’t care, just glanced at the man beside him.

Cheng Yuelin nodded towards Dean Yu, and smiled back: “It’s pretty good here, we will check in by ourselves, you can go back.”

Dean Yu heaved a sigh of relief, and after nodding and leaving, the two went into the hotel to check in.

He took the room key and went to the room. After opening the door, Ruan Zhiyin glanced at the man next to him when he smelled a little damp.

I still remember that in the second year of high school, the school organized a two-and-a-half-day spring outing. Cheng Yuelin also complained to her, the life team leader, because of the smell of the hotel room.

When he arrived at the university, he did not live in a dormitory, but lived in the apartment that Cheng’s father bought him near the school.

Cheng Yuelin caught a glimpse of her weird look, raised her eyebrows, and said casually: “What?”

“You used to…” She stopped talking.

The man knew it instantly and patted her on the head: “Think I can’t live? Then you think too much. The beds for fifty-one nights are all squeezed. Can I mind this?”

The tone is very relaxed.

When the words fell, Ruan Zhiyin raised his eyes to look at him, and the expression in his eyes became a little complicated.

“what happened again?”

He noticed her silence.

Ruan Zhiyin shook his head, suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged him, his voice was dull: “A-Lin, in the years since Uncle Cheng’s accident, did you… have a bad time?”

She always wanted to ask this sentence, but because she knew his arrogant self-esteem, she didn’t find a suitable time to speak.

The corners of Cheng Yuelin’s mouth radiated shallowly, and he spoke in an unsalted manner: “Ruan Ting, is this hurting me again?”

He hugged her back, patted her on the back, and then said: “It doesn’t need to be distressed. I heard that the sufferings of a person’s life are fixed. Early experience is not necessarily a bad thing.”

Except for occasionally wanting her to feel uncomfortable, most of the time, Cheng Yuelin will make herself so busy to forget her fatigue and ignore everything else.

Hearing what he said, Ruan Zhiyin raised his head slightly: “Are you serious?”

“Of course.” Cheng Yuelin smiled suddenly, “Aren’t you marrying me now? This shows that you and I are both blessed.”

Ruan Zhiyin smiled: “So you want to say, I’m the same as you, I’ve suffered all the suffering?”

Cheng Yuelin shook his head.

Seeing her doubts, the man’s bent index finger hooked the tip of her nose and explained: “You have suffered more than me, and you will enjoy more happiness in the future. Maybe, my suffering has not been over, and I will have to rely on it in the future. You keep it.”

Upon hearing this, Ruan Zhiyin bent his eyes and couldn’t help but stand on his toes, and kissed gently at the corner of his mouth: “Okay, I will support you.”

Somehow, with his few words, the sourness that had just poured in his heart just faded away.

—

After simply packing things up, the two of them walked out of the hotel hand in hand.

When Ruan Zhiyin came back this time, he mainly wanted to visit the dean’s grave. The dean is buried in Fu’an Mountain, south of Xu County, and they will not be able to go there until tomorrow morning.

“Where do you want to go now?” Cheng Yuelin asked her, turning her head.

Ruan Zhiyin looked at the wide and unfamiliar street in front of him, and thought for a while: “Take you back to my original high school?”

“Yeah.” He responded softly.

Ruan Zhiyin was already in the second year of high school when she transferred to Lanzhong. In her first year of high school, she was still studying in Xuxian No.1 High School.

The changes in Xu County are too great. Although the distance is not far, the two still ask the passers-by to get to the place.

When asking for directions, the other party heard Ruan Zhiyin’s skilled local accent. She was surprised that she didn’t know where Yizhong was. Suspecting that she was deliberately hitting up a conversation, she made a joke.

When they finally walked to Xuxian No. 1 Middle School, they learned that today happened to be the day of the big vacation. The school was closed at this time, and there were no students and no teachers.

“What should I do?” Cheng Yuelin looked at her with raised eyebrows.

Ruan Zhiyin was a little regretful: “It’s a pity. I wanted to make time and sneak in with the students. There is no way now.”

“It’s not difficult to get in.” Cheng Yuelin smiled at her with great interest, seeing her looking expectantly, and then said, “I will take you over the wall?”

Ruan Zhiyin glanced at him: “I don’t want to overturn the wall.”

She was wearing a skirt, and it was really unsightly when she stepped over the wall. Moreover, Ruan Zhiyin had been a good student for more than ten years, and he couldn’t do anything to get over the wall and enter the school.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a gray-haired figure in the security room at the entrance of the school. Her eyes lit up and she hurriedly pulled Cheng Yuelin over.

Across the gate of the school, Ruan Zhiyin said to the figure not far away: “Uncle Tang, do you remember me?”

The old man who was stopped by her slowly turned his head, carefully identified the muddy eyes, and asked uncertainly: “Are you… Xiaoyin?”

Ruan Zhiyin smiled, her eyes soft: “It’s me. I didn’t expect you to be here. I thought you should retire.”

Uncle Tang seemed very happy to see her, his wrinkled face smiled, and he waved his hands and said, “I’m retired, but it’s not comfortable to stay at home. Come and check the door every few days of school holidays each month.”

After that, the old man’s eyes fell on the man beside her.

Ruan Zhiyin then introduced: “This is my husband. I’m going back to Xu County to visit Dean Chen’s grave this time. I want to take him back to school.”

“Hello.” Cheng Yuelin nodded politely.

“Very good, good, really tall.”

The old man stared at each other and nodded frequently.

In a few moments, he opened the door for the two of them, then made a look at Ruan Zhiyin, and said with a smile, “You can go in.”

The two looked at each other, thanked Uncle Tang, and entered the empty school.

After walking out a few steps, Cheng Yuelin shook his head to look at her: “Ruan Ting, I followed you through the back door? Do you still know the school security?”

Ruan Zhiyin paused and explained: “Uncle Tang used to live next door to the orphanage, and he often gave food to the children in the orphanage. His son worked outside and his wife went again, and no one would take care of him. I see. Sometimes he stays in the security room without having to eat, so he will help him go to the cafeteria to get a meal by the way.”

“later…”

“What happened later?” He raised his eyebrows.

Ruan Zhiyin smiled and said softly: “Later, when I called the orphanage, Dean Chen said that Uncle Tang went to the orphanage in the year of my college entrance examination and said he wanted to give me some college tuition.”

At that time Ruan Zhiyin left the orphanage, and Dean Chen only said that her relatives came to her, without mentioning who they were.

Uncle Tang knew that she had good grades and would definitely be admitted to the university, but he was worried that her so-called relatives would not pay her tuition.

In the days in the orphanage, she did receive a lot of kindness.

After the words fell, seeing Cheng Yuelin’s eyes calm, staring at her in a daze, Ruan Zhiyin raised his eyebrows and asked him: “What are you looking at me for? There is something on my face?”

Cheng Yuelin squeezed her hand, hooked her lips, and then said: “No, I was thinking, you the dean is very good and taught you very well.”

All the kindness she received came from her kindness and gratitude. Even if she lives in Xu County, she has always tried to make herself outstanding and never slackens.

Ruan Zhiyin was stunned, and responded softly, muttering: “Dean Chen… is indeed a very good person.”

Before the dean left, he did not forget to send her the Jade Buddha, but when the other party died, she was not with her.

At least, she owed Qin Ju a favor in this matter.

Cheng Yuelin put her expression in her eyes, her eyes darkened, but she didn’t speak.

There are no students in the huge campus, so it is very quiet.

“No. 1 Middle School hasn’t changed much.” Ruan Zhiyin led Cheng Yuelin into the teaching building of his first year of high school. He saw the timetable posted in the corridor and said with a smile. It’s not the best, but it’s very strict. When I was living on campus, I had to get up at 6 o’clock every day to study early, and I had to go to my dorm until 10 o’clock in the evening for my self-study.”

After hearing this, Cheng Yuelin glanced at her with idle eyes: “No wonder that in the next two years, every day seemed to be smashed.”

After he finished speaking, he smiled: “Ruan Ting, even saying that I am a cockfighter, I think you are more motivated than me.”

“I’m cherishing time.” Ruan Zhiyin glanced at him, then turned his eyes, and suddenly said, “I found it, look at this.”

Her slender fingertips pointed to the bulletin board on the side wall of the corridor with several photos pasted on it.

The first one is a bit familiar, and it is written in a pen underneath the photo—

Outstanding graduate: Ruan Zhiyin, A major.

There are also pictures of other people next to them. They are all students who have been admitted to prestigious schools, standing side by side with her.

When she met her with proud eyes, Cheng Yuelin’s eyes paused, and she suddenly thought of her expression when she looked at the school bulletin board every time she scored in the third year of high school.

That was a rare time when she was happy.

Sometimes he looked from a distance, but didn’t know whether her happiness came from the high ranking results, or because her name was always lined up with another person’s name.

“what happened to you?”

Ruan Zhiyin thought his eyes were a little strange.

Cheng Yuelin suppressed the emotions in her heart, twitched the corner of her mouth, and patted her on the head: “It’s okay.”

Ruan Zhiyin frowned slightly.

This was the first time that he was aware of his unclear emotions, but he didn’t know how to appease him because of his nonchalant behavior.
