pamper her

After getting off the plane, Yu Anran went straight to the Public Security Bureau.

She didn't even think about how to pack her luggage, so she hurriedly hailed a taxi.

The weather is very cold tonight, the neon lights outside the window are constantly flashing past, and the traffic is driving tirelessly to the distance where there is no end in sight.

But Yu Anran was not in the mood to appreciate these things.

When she arrived, she saw Xu Jing sitting alone on a chair in the hall, with a policewoman beside her.

I guess I haven't found anyone yet.

Yu Anran has not seen Xu Jing for many years.

Xu Jing was only twelve or thirteen years old when she left Suzhou. The little girl couldn't stand gossip, and she had said all kinds of serious things to her.

One time when she came home from school, she saw Yu Anran having dinner at her own home, and she didn't know what kind of stimulation she had received at school. Xu Jing pointed at her and said, "Yu Anran, stay away from our house!"

Yu Anran remembered that her aunt had criticized her at that time, but what was the use? Didn't the aunt leave her in the end?

After recovering, she realized that she had stood at the door for quite a while, and Yu Anran pushed her luggage in. The sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground attracted two people in the distance.

Xu Jing raised her eyes and looked over. Her eyes, like Yu Anran's, followed her mother's, so they were very similar.

She sniffed, but said nothing.

Instead, the policewoman stood up: "Hi, do you need help?"

"I'm her... sister," Yu Anran pinched the handle of the suitcase, "I heard that she and her mother got separated, how is it now?"

"It's the family members of the caller."

Yu Anran nodded.

"The little girl just called the police this afternoon. We sent someone out to look for it, but we haven't found it yet..."

"Didn't find it?" Yu Anran frowned, "There are so many surveillance along the road, can't you find a single person?"

"There is a lot of traffic during the New Year's Day holiday, and it will take some time to check the monitoring," the female policeman responded in a good voice, "Wait a little longer, it will probably be soon."

Persuading himself that he should trust the police, Yu Anran didn't say anything more.

But she felt a little strange, Xu Jing knew how to call the police, if my aunt got lost, why didn't she ask the police for help?
Yu Anran walked to Xu Jing and sat down: "Who told you to come to BJ?"

"I'll come whenever I want, it's none of your business."

Yu Anran still said quietly: "Is the school on holiday?"

"No, I asked my mother to ask for leave."

"She will?"

Hearing this, Xu Jing gave her a hard look: "It's not because of you! My mother just wanted to come and see you, she said nicely that she came with me, and she was worried about how you are doing in BJ on the way! "

Yu Anran's eyelashes trembled.

"Why did you come here with your luggage?" Xu Jing glanced at the suitcase not far away, "Going out to play? No wonder it took you so long to come over after calling you. You are living a good life. It is a waste of my mother's daily life. They are all thinking of you!"

Yu Anran didn't want to quarrel with her.

Xu Jing was spoiled by her family all the time, and she played with her petty temper very much, wishing that the whole world would listen to her.

Just in time, the female policeman answered the phone, and after a few words of agreement, she turned around and said to them, "The man has been found."

Xu Jing stood up excitedly: "Where is it!"

"The police car is on its way back."

About 10 minutes later, Yu Anran heard the iconic siren, flashing at the gate, casting red and blue light on the glass door.

Xu Jing hurriedly ran to the door, but Yu Anran didn't move.

The last conversation was not pleasant. She didn't know what expression to use to face this elder who could be said to be the closest to her.

a long time.

She saw Xu Jing walking in with her aunt on her arm at the gate, her eyes met and she was speechless for a long time.

My aunt looked much older.

The 50-year-old already has half of her gray hair, her lips are pale, and she is coughing constantly because of the cold.

The fine lines at the corners of the eyes have also been added several times, which is far from the appearance in memory.

Yu Anran clenched her fists, trying to hold back her emotions.

She took off her scarf, stepped forward a few steps, and put the scarf around her aunt's neck.

My aunt just looked up at her with complicated eyes, but couldn't help calling her: "Xiao An."

Yu Anran paused, and before she could speak, the aunt said, "Why are you so thin? Is it because you can't get used to BJ's food?"

"I'm used to it."

Seeing this scene, Xu Jing was extremely disdainful: "Mom, I think she is very nourished in BJ, she just came back from a trip!"

My aunt smiled and repeated: "It's good to live well, good to be good."

The policewoman took her aunt to sit aside and poured water for her.

Yu Anran couldn't hold back, and called the police who sent him back to the side, "Excuse me, where did you find him?"

"Tiananmen Square," the policeman said, "she was sitting far away, staring at the pole of the national flag. We called her several times before she responded."

Yu Anran suddenly remembered the past in Suzhou, when her family was not broken up, and there were no gossips.

Although her parents don't care about her, she is still happy.

On New Year's Day of a certain year, when she was still in primary school, she went to play at her aunt's house, and the news of raising the national flag was being broadcast on TV.

At that time, the word "BJ" was extremely distant and yearning for her.

She pointed to Koukou on the TV, and said to her aunt who was peeling an apple for her, "Auntie, when I get admitted to BJ, I will take you to Tiananmen Square to watch the national flag being raised!"

What is Auntie's answer?

She patted Yu Anran's head: "Our Xiao An is really sensible, so my aunt will wait for you to grow up, and take me to see the national flag raising together."

So now, when Yu Anran grew up, she didn't keep her promise, so she went to the appointment alone?

Yu Anran nodded to the policeman: "Excuse me."

"Should be."

Yu Anran sat back beside her aunt, straightened the scarf for her: "When are you going back to Suzhou?"

Xu Jing on the side interjected first: "We just came here and drove us back!"

"Xu Jing," Yu Anran couldn't bear it anymore, "Can you understand something?"

"I……"

"Okay," my aunt stopped, "We'll go back tomorrow."

"Give me your phone," Yu Anran stretched out her hand to Xu Jing, "I'll book your plane tickets."

Xu Jing followed her lips and reluctantly handed her the phone.

Yu Anran booked air tickets for the two of them, and transferred some money to Xu Jing's WeChat before returning the phone to her.

"I'm in my third year of high school, so I'll study hard when I go back."

"Why do you care about me!"

"Xiao Jing," my aunt patted her hand, "Listen to your sister."

Seeing that Xu Jing's temper was about to be blown up again, the female police officer with a good look at the side dismissed her in time with the excuse of filling in the information, and Yu Anran and her aunt were left sitting side by side.

Yu Anran: "Did you run away by yourself?"

My aunt was silent.

"How old is BJ, you don't know what to do? What if something goes wrong?"

The aunt was still silent, and after a while, she said, "Xiao An, really don't want to go back to Suzhou?"

"I divorced your little uncle last year. Now the family won't listen to him. If you want to come back, come back anytime."

"divorce?"

Yu Anran was surprised. When did my aunt, who always only listened to her husband and dared not resist being abused by her husband, be so stubborn and heartless to divorce?

"Well, his temper has become more and more violent in the past few years, so it's fine to beat me. Once when he was drunk, he beat Xiao Jing until his arm was covered with blood." The aunt said, her voice trembling, "Not long after the divorce, he He's dead. That's right, with his body, it's just a crime to live."

It's full of calculations, my aunt is 50 years old this year.

When she got married in her early 20s, she was not in good health and was unable to conceive. It was not until her thirties that she gave birth to Xu Jing, her biological daughter. She was used to giving everything she wanted.

It never occurred to Yu Anran that she was about to enter old age and had spent most of her life in ups and downs, so she still had the energy to deal with divorce.

Maybe it's for Xu Jing.

Thinking of this, Yu Anran couldn't help feeling disappointed.

She was wondering why my aunt couldn't resist for her back then?But then I thought, after all, she is not my aunt's biological daughter. My aunt's unconditional love is not taken for granted. She is greedy enough.

At this moment, the phone in the bag vibrated suddenly.

Yu Anran put down the water glass, walked to the gate to answer the phone.

Qi Pei seems to be outside, and the wind can be heard in the background: "Go back to BJ?"

"how do you know?"

"I called you a few times but didn't answer, so I asked A Chuan."

Only then did Yu Anran realize that she had been thinking about telling him during the day, but then forgot.

"where are you now?"

"public security bureau."

Qi Pei wasn't too surprised. He probably learned the reason from A Chuan. He said, "I'm going to pick you up now?"

Yu Anran glanced back, and reported an intersection to him: "You wait for me here for a while, I will settle down with my aunt and the others first."

"it is good."

Walking back to the hall, Yu Anran poured another glass of water.

As if she had figured something out, she said solemnly: "Auntie, my life is really good now. You are divorced. To be honest, I am happy for you."

"But I really hate Suzhou. If there are no accidents, I will be in BJ in the future." Yu Anran clutched the hem of his clothes, "Don't worry about the past, let's all look forward, okay?"

My aunt opened her mouth: "Are you still unable to forgive my aunt?"

Did you forgive me?

For Yu Anran, there is no solution.

She admits that she is still brooding about this matter, but she doesn't want to be like before, just brooding about it.

As she said in Nanlan, she can't get through it, but she can hide and not think about it.

Anyway, the days without relatives around me for so many years have passed, and it is meaningless not to forgive her.

"Let's go," Yu Anran didn't answer her, "I'll find you a hotel."

Yu Anran purposely found a hotel closer to the airport so that it would be convenient for them to go back tomorrow.

After getting out of the car, she explained a few words: "I won't be coming tomorrow. You will wait at the hotel entrance at nine o'clock. I will send the driver's license plate number to Xu Jing's WeChat in a while."

"Don't run around again this time, go back obediently."

This sentence was specially told to the two of them.

"Understood." Xu Jing dragged her tongue, with a face of reluctance, "By the way, I have to tell my brother!"

Yu Anran raised her eyelids for a moment, stared at Xu Jing's cell phone for a long time, and then suddenly came back to her senses.

"Go in, I'll go first."

Auntie seemed to have something to say, she looked at Yu Anran's back dragging the suitcase, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

It wasn't until Xu Jing dialed the phone and called "Brother" that she happened to say at the same time: "Xiao An, we will always be your family."

Yu Anran paused, but didn't look back after all.

Yu Anran dragged her suitcase for a long street, her hands and feet were sore from exhaustion.She suddenly regretted letting Qi Pei wait at the farthest intersection.

After a day of hard work, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and she seemed to be able to collapse immediately on this cold winter night.

She looked up at the sky, there were no stars, and when she lowered her head again, her footsteps stopped.

Qi Pei stood not far away, still wearing the same black windbreaker as when he first met him, smiling, seeing her looking over, he started walking towards her.

Yu Anran slowly let go of the suitcase, she greedily wanted to find a fulcrum that could soothe her tired body.

until………

Qi Pei opened his hands towards her, and she couldn't help but threw herself into his arms, tightly wrapped by his hot body.

"Qi Pei," she showed her fragility for the first time in a sober state, "I'm so tired."
