It's hard to be moved again

Chapter 25
On a moonlit night, Jiang Kai and Xu Liqian walked among the quiet grass.

"There was no TV when I was a kid, so I often came here to play with my friends." Jiang Kai stretched out his hand to her: "The road ahead is not easy."

Xu Liqian hesitated, but he took her hand and walked forward.

They walked along the winding path, and the grass gradually reached waist height, touching Xu Liqian's cheek from time to time.

The two stopped.

"Look quickly."

Xu Liqian stepped forward, and the grass in front of her was flickering with lights all around, like a dreamlike existence.

As the wind blows, the fireflies in the grass gradually grow in size, intertwining with each other like stars.

Xu Liqian gently raised her hand as if she wanted to touch the surrounding fireflies. Whenever she was about to get close, they would immediately flicker and fly away.

She stood in the grass with a faint smile on her face, her hair fluttering gently in the breeze, and the moonlight dancing on her hair like silver beams.

Jiang Kai stood not far from Xu Liqian, staring at her with all his concentration, even the surrounding sounds disappeared.

His eyes were gentle and affectionate, and a warm current seemed to flow out of his heart at this moment. He would never forget this scene.

As the night grew darker, the two returned home.

"Thank you for the fireflies, I'm very happy." After saying this, Xu Liqian closed the door to the room.

After breakfast the next day, Jiang Kai disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xu Liqian searched around but didn't know where he was. She walked towards the courtyard: "Grandma, where is Jiang Kai?"

Wang Chunhua lay on the rocking chair with her eyes closed and said slowly: "I went to catch fish in the stream near his house."

"His family?" Xu Liqian didn't understand for a moment.

Wang Chunhua: "It's his grandfather's ancestral home. You can see it by turning left in front."

"Oh."

Xu Liqian glanced at Wang Chunhua who was taking a nap and ran away.

At this time, she suddenly opened her eyes and smiled: "These two children, hey... they are old and old."

It turned out that there was a crystal clear stream beside the field, and Xu Liqian saw Jiang Kai surrounded by four or five children at a glance.

They stepped barefoot in the water and fished for fish with small nets.

"Xu Liqian!" Jiang Kai called to her and walked over.

Xu Liqian stood by the stream and looked at the many small fish and shrimps in their buckets.

"Can this fish be eaten if it is so small?" she asked.

Jiang Kai: "Okay, it's delicious if fried or cooked in soup."

"Pretty sister, do you want to go down and play together?" At this time, a little girl with twin tails held Xu Liqian's hand.

She knelt down and said to the little girl: "Sister, if you don't want to play, go and play."

"Okay." After saying that, the little girl jumped into the creek, and the water splashed everywhere. The children seemed to be inspired, holding water in their hands and throwing it at each other.

"Wow"

Xu Liqian was suddenly splashed with water on her face.

"Jiang Kai!" Her brows frowned slightly.

Jiang Kai: "Let's play together."

So she joined in...

Everyone’s laughter echoed by the creek, like the most beautiful music.

When they were tired of playing, they lay on the grass by the stream, feeling the gentle wind and watching the birds flying across the sky.

Jiang Kai asked secretly: "Are you still angry?"

Xu Liqian turned to look at him: "I forgive you."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

In the quiet night, only the chirping of cicadas sounded outside the house.

Xu Liqian was sleeping in bed and suddenly felt a splitting headache and unbearable pain in her throat. She wanted to get up and drink a glass of water but felt weak...

Is this a fever?
She staggered out and fell on Jiang Kai in her blurred vision.

"Xu Liqian?"

"Jiang Kai, I seem to have a fever."

He anxiously picked up Xu Liqian and returned to the room.

"bang bang bang"

Jiang Kai knocked on Wang Chunhua's door: "Grandma, do you have any antipyretics at home? Xu Liqian has a fever."

This startled Wang Chunhua, and she quickly found the medicine box and opened the door.

Xu Liqian was lying on the bed, her cheeks were on fire, and her forehead was covered with thin beads of sweat. She whispered in her mouth: "It hurts."

Jiang Kai helped Xu Liqian up and gave her the antipyretic medicine: "Grandma, you go back and rest first, I will take care of her."

Wang Chunhua hesitated to speak: "Okay, okay, just tell me if you need anything."

"Ah."

When Xu Liqian woke up the next morning, she saw Jiang Kai sleeping beside the bed, his hand still holding her tightly.
Xu Liqian gently pulled her hand away, and he was awakened: "Are you awake?"

She hummed lightly.

Jiang Kai touched her forehead with his hand and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "The fever is gone. Are you still feeling unwell?" Xu Liqian whispered, "I'm hungry."

Jiang Kai: "Okay, I'll make porridge for you now."

Looking at his leaving figure, Xu Liqian's heart felt as if a big stone had been thrown into the calm lake surface, which was still making waves, round and round.

Wang Chunhua walked in at this time: "Nanny, are you feeling better?"

"Grandma, I'm feeling better."

She gently stroked Xu Liqian's hair: "It's time for you to go back to Xinghai. Your father called yesterday."

Xu Liqian raised her eyebrows and grabbed Wang Chunhua's clothes: "Does Dad know Jiang Kai is here?"

Wang Chunhua: "That's not true. I seem to be taking you on a trip."

"Oh."

Her heart was full of reluctance at this time, she didn't want to leave here, she didn't want to...

***
Time slipped by quietly, and the day of return arrived.

In the morning, Xu Liqian and Jiang Kai were watering and weeding the vegetable garden.

"When will you return to Xinghai?" Xu Liqian asked.

Jiang Kai thought for a while: "After you leave." He looked at her who was a little depressed and said: "What's wrong, do you want to play for a few more days?"

"Ah."

There was a sigh from him in the air, and he rubbed her head: "I will go and play with you when I return to Xinghai."

Xu Liqian closed her eyes, and her long black hair drew an elegant arc in the air and fell on Jiang Kai's chest. She gently hugged his waist and rested her head on his chest.

Jiang Kai was stunned for a moment and hugged her back.

After a while, Xu Liqian stepped away from Jiang Kai's arms and quickly looked away: "I'm going to pack my luggage."

"Okay." He looked straight at her, the deep affection in his eyes not concealed at all, like the waves of the sea.

Before noon, Xu Yuan picked up Xu Liqian in his car.

She kept looking out the window in the car, her heart filled with sadness.

Back at Xu's house, Lin Xiangyu had already packed the family's luggage.

"Nanny, this time we are going to Beihuai and take a good tour of Beihuai University." Lin Xiangyu handed the backpack to Xu Liqian.

"Okay, mom, when will we come back."

Lin Xiangyu: "Let's go before school starts."

"Oh"

The airport terminal was busy and quiet, with people coming and going and luggage carts shuttled between them.

Xu Liqian sat on a chair and looked at the large airport runway outside the window, waiting for the taxiing plane to arrive.

She didn't know why she felt a little uneasy in her heart, like an invisible hand grabbing her heart.

The lighted up screen of her phone reflected the conversation she had just had with Jiang Kai.

Xu Liqian: I'm at the airport. I'll be back before school starts.

Jiang Kai: OK, I'll wait for you.

Xu Liqian: I have one more thing to say.

……

This message was sent for a long time, and she never received a reply from him.

It seemed that her and his life would be subverted from this moment on...

"The latest news is urgently broadcast below. There was an explosion in a civilian restaurant on Tianrun Road. There were heavy casualties. The number of people is still being counted."

At the explosion site of the civilian restaurant, the air was filled with burning smoke and hot flames, and the sky was dyed red.

The once bustling streets are now in a mess, with broken glass everywhere and tables and chairs scattered on the ground.
People around him screamed in terror. They were thrown to the ground by the blast of air, and some were even burned by the jet of flames.

Fire trucks rushed to the scene at this time, and they rushed into the flames to look for survivors.

At the center of the explosion, the surrounding walls and floors were severely damaged. The fire continued, heat waves rolled in, and the fire illuminated the entire area.

"Squad leader." The firefighters looked at each other.

"Find the origin of the fire and put out the fire with all your strength."

After several hours of fighting, firefighters finally brought the fire under control, and all those injured in the explosion were sent to the hospital.

Begonia not far away.

When Zhou Li learned about the accident at the fast food restaurant, she fell down the stairs and fell into a pool of blood...

At this time, Jiang Kai was still on his way back to Xinghai in the countryside.

"Jingle Bell"

He picked up the phone: "Hello?"

"Xiao Kai, where are you? Your fast food restaurant exploded. Your father..."

Jiang Kai's face instantly turned pale as paper, his lips trembled, and his eyes stared forward in horror.

"Driver, please hurry up, hurry up!" He almost shouted.

His body seemed to be bound by invisible fear, and his trembling hands squeezed the phone tightly trying to find a sense of security.
