The Wind Blows Fallen Leaves Chapter 16

Clear Water Hibiscus

There was a short-haired woman at He’an Airport wearing sunglasses, gorgeous makeup, and a hip-hugging leather skirt. The sound of footsteps touched the hearts of everyone in the airport. Many people followed his movements with their eyes blankly. Suddenly, she lowered her sunglasses and raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, and walked over in a swagger.

“Sister, here…”

Zhuang Yi couldn’t wait to use his hands and feet to let the woman see him. The person behind him was holding a sign as if he was celebrating something.

Then he took her luggage skillfully and said, “Sister, you don’t know that when we heard about your return, our whole family was waiting for you to come back with lights and decorations. Even the dog is wearing new clothes. My parents miss you so much.”

The woman smiled, raised her hand to take off her glasses, moved closer and put the sunglasses on his head, “Really?”

This posture frightened Zhuang Yi and took two steps back to stabilize himself and said: “Of course.”

“Sister Qingfu, stop teasing A Yi and get in the car quickly.”

Tang Moci rescued him from the tiger’s mouth. Zhuang Yi looked at him gratefully. Zhuang Qingfu felt bored and raised her eyebrows and said, “Okay.”

Soon she noticed Xiao Minghan, who had been walking behind, with an aura that kept strangers away. Zhuang Qingfu pushed them away and walked towards him.

Then he said sweetly, “Minghan, why are you walking so far?”

Zhuang Qingfu naturally held his arm and said this to him affectionately. Xiao Minghan’s muscles tensed up and he tried to pull his arm out but was unable to do so. She said, “You two siblings have just met. Since you always want to catch up on old times, I won’t bother you.”

“What do I have to reminisce with him? I’m already tired of him not looking up and looking down. We haven’t seen each other for half a year. Why don’t you tell me to reminisce about old times?” Zhuang Qingfu said coquettishly.

“We have prepared a reception banquet tomorrow night. You can talk to whoever you want to talk to at that time, and you can talk to me for as long as you want. Is this the head office?”

Xiao Minghan clenched his hands into fists, showing some forbearance. Zhuang Yi and Tang Moci consciously occupied the driver’s seat and passenger seat, leaving them alone in the back seat.

Zhuang Qingfu leaned on Xiao Minghan’s shoulder as soon as she got in the car. She looked at the furnishings in the car and smelled a faint scent of tulips, and asked, “Isn’t this car Ayou’s? Why is the car here but no one is there?”

This played into Zhuang Yi’s wish, and he said triumphantly: “This car is mine now.”

Zhuang Qing sneered and said, “Xiaoyi, it’s not that I look down on you. If Ayou can lend you this car, it must be because you are too rogue.”

“Sister, you really guessed this wrong,” Zhuang Yi said, tossing the key in his hand and saying, “It’s an exchange.”

“What do you have that he can take a liking to?” Zhuang Qingfu said unceremoniously.

“Don’t look down on me. I have a lot of good things.”

Zhuang Qingfu waved her hand and said, “Okay, okay, I don’t want to say any more. I’m a little tired. Send me back quickly.”

The three of them immediately shut up and sent the person home smoothly.

“Qingfu, you are finally back. You have lost weight after being abroad for so long. Are you hungry? Do you want auntie to make you something to eat?”

Li Jingtong touched her face distressedly, and Zhuang Yiju stood behind the two of them with a smile.

Zhuang Yi, on the other hand, acted as a coolie to carry all the luggage up, and when he came down, he collapsed on the sofa exhausted.

“Okay, Mom and Dad, I’m a little tired just now, so you should go to bed early.”

Li Jingtong placed a good night kiss on Zhuang Qingfu’s face and said, “Okay, go to bed early, good night, honey.”

“Goodnight Mom and Dad.”

The top floor of Mingyi is still the same room that was visited by the police that time, but the atmosphere in the private room is much quieter. Everyone performs their duties. Normally, everyone should have a cigarette, but today they are very obedient. The single sofa next to it is empty, as if waiting for someone to come.

“Why are there only a few of you?”

Zhuang Qingfu didn’t forget to put the wine glass in her hand to her mouth as she spoke. She was used to living abroad, and she felt a little uncomfortable coming back here.

“Brother Yan is flying abroad, Ayou will come later.”

Zhuang Yi had received the news a long time ago, but he was busy organizing the game and forgot to tell everyone.

“Okay, it’s really boring when there are so few people. Looking at such a big place makes people breathless.”

Zhuang Qingfu gestured around the room with her hands and looked at them with disgust.

“He’s the one who wants to be here.”

“Yes, yes.”

The two of them pointed at Zhuang Yi in the corner. He was replying to messages on his mobile phone, and he was inexplicably taking such a big blame.

It was already nine o’clock when the evening self-study class ended. An Yu was not in a hurry at all. He and Shen Luo were wandering slowly on the side of the road. Shen Luo held his hand along the street and held his hand. When he encountered something disconnected, Shen Luo hesitated and wanted to jump down. An Yu picked him up and carried him safely to the next stop.

The ten-minute journey took half an hour. The phone in his pocket rang countless times. Anyu’s phone was on silent, and they could only hear the sound of the car whizzing past their ears.

After sending Shen Luo into the house, he said: “Tonight a friend returns to China and may come back very late. You go to bed first and don’t have to wait for me.”

“Then do you know how to drink?”

“I will if I’m happy, but I promise I won’t smoke and I won’t come back with the smell of cigarettes.”

When Shen Luo heard his promise, he let go of his hand. An Yu raised his lowered head and said, “I will introduce them to you after I arrange a formal occasion.”

Before leaving, I told him a lot of things: “After I leave, don’t open the door to strangers, remember?”

“I’m not a child, go ahead and don’t keep them waiting.” Shen Luo seemed to be more anxious than him. She pushed him out the door and watched An Yu enter the elevator before going back.

As soon as he left, there was a knock on the door. Shen Luo thought he had forgotten something, “Did…”

The moment he opened the door, he was stunned. A face that shouldn’t be here stood in front of him. Then he slowly backed away and said, “Why are you here?”

The next second, Shen Meng slowly approached him, slowly looked around the room, and sneered: “I’m your mother, shouldn’t I come to check on you?”

“I’m fine. You’ve seen it and you can go.”

Shen Luo didn’t want to know how he found this place, nor did he want him to stay here longer.Shen Meng had already noticed it, and suddenly showed a motherly smile and said, “Even if an unknown person comes to your place, he must at least have a glass of water. Hasn’t anyone taught you?”

Shen Luo reluctantly went to pour him water. Fortunately, An Yu had boiled a pot of hot water when he left. He wanted to let it warm and then pour it into a thermostatic kettle so that he could drink it when he came back.

While he was pouring water, Shen Meng walked around the living room and paused for a moment when he walked to a cabinet. On it was a porcelain white vase with a lot of flowers. She only stayed for a few seconds before going to the next place. Shen Meng noticed that he came out with a glass of water, and immediately turned around and said, “This is pretty much it.”

“Seeing that you are doing so well makes me feel relieved. Today I just came to see you and supervise your studies. Don’t do shady things with some random people all day long.” Shen Meng’s words made Shen Luo feel particularly uncomfortable and he always wanted to stay away from her.

“It’s too late, you should go back.”

After Shen Meng left, the living room felt strangely empty and unfamiliar. It felt like there were countless pairs of eyes looking at him, staring at his every move.

He didn’t dare to stay in the living room longer, so he rushed into the bedroom and covered himself with the quilt. It took a long time for the fear to gradually disappear. When he regained consciousness, his back was already soaked with sweat.

“Sister Qingfu…”

When An Yu arrived at the place, he had already drank most of the wine. There was no smell of cigarette in it, which made his frown relax a lot.

Zhuang Qingfu sat in the main seat, looked at him seductively and said, “You said you didn’t come yesterday and you were late again today. How should I punish you?”

“I’ll punish myself with three drinks. I can’t let such a small thing disturb my mood on such a happy day.”

After saying that, he poured himself three glasses. A pair of well-jointed hands picked up and put down the wine glasses. It was also a nice sight.

“Okay, I’ll spare you this time and tell me what you’ve been doing recently. You don’t answer calls and don’t reply to messages. Do you have any secrets?”

Zhuang Yi was also overwhelmed with gossip at this time, and immediately agreed: “That’s right, let’s do it from the ground up.”

“There are really no secrets. Don’t listen to their nonsense. Besides, today is just for you to clean up the dust. What’s the point of talking about me.” An Yu took a sip of wine with a guilty conscience.

“Don’t try to change the subject. As for the little boy who came with the police last time, you have moved into another family. Are we still talking nonsense?”

Zhuang Qingfu looked at him in surprise and said, “You moved to someone else’s house? Do your uncle and aunt know about it?”

An Yu nodded, “It’s not a move, it’s a temporary stay.”

“They didn’t say anything?” Zhuang Qingfu asked him.

“Sister Qingfu, I live with him, he should be the one who can’t control himself.” An Yu said it very confidently, and Zhuang Qingfu just smiled.

“That’s true.”

“Sister Qingfu, here is the gift I gave you,” Anyu nodded at the gift box on the table, then slowly stood up and drank the last glass of wine, “I have to go to school tomorrow, so I will go home first.”

Originally, Zhuang Qingfu would not let him go easily, but when she thought of his happy and careless look just now, she still couldn’t bear to keep him.

“I’m a little jealous that he’s so happy.” Zhuang Yi looked at the direction he was leaving unwillingly.

“Everyone has his own destiny, but wealth lies in heaven.” Tang Moci patted his shoulder and consoled him.

It was already past midnight when they left. Zhuang Qingfu’s face was rosy. Xiao Minghan kept supporting her. Tang Moci, who seemed to be the most reliable, stopped two cars, grabbed Zhuang Yi and jumped into one. Xiao Minghan opened the door of the other car and put her in. The driver asked him where he was going. Xiao Minghan wanted to take her home, but thinking that it was so late, he had to send her to Zhuang Yi’s nearest residence first.

“Master, go to Shuyang.”

The driver turned on the navigation and turned left following the prompts. There was no one on the road. He looked at the two of them in the rearview mirror and asked, “Look, you are still in love.”

Xiao Minghan just glanced at her secretly, his closed eyes trembled slightly, he smiled knowingly and shook his head. It was indeed not a period of love, because they were about to get engaged.

The driver didn’t ask any more questions. After getting off the car, Zhuang Qingfu was sobered by the wind. She had a coat hanging on her shoulders. The wind blew in and she raised her hands to clasp her hands together. The broken hair on her forehead was rubbed against her eyes by the wind. Xiao Minghan hung up behind her and waited for Zhuang Yi to get out of the car before handing her over to him.

Turning to leave, Zhuang Qingfu threw away Zhuang Yi’s hand and put her arms around Xiao Minghan’s neck. A burst of jasmine fragrance hit his face. The kiss was so fast, like a dragonfly touching water, that the person involved didn’t even react. She whispered: “See you later.”

Xiao Minghan got into the car as if he was running away and left without looking back. Zhuang Yi complained and helped her walk in step by step, “If you insist on kissing me in front of me, I really admire you.”

When the driver saw that he was not very happy, he felt like he was watching a good show and asked, “Did the young couple quarrel?”

“No.”

I don’t know if he was denying that thing, but the driver started to talk nonsense to him. Xiao Minghan suddenly said: “Master, do you know the feeling of identifying with one person for your whole life?”

“What?”

Xiao Minghan sighed and said, “Nothing.”

The driver scratched the top of his head, which was not rich, and said, “I don’t understand all the twists and turns here. If you really like her, be nice to her. If you don’t, just tell her honestly. Don’t wait until she loves you so much that you just pat your butt and leave. That’s not like a man.”

“I don’t know what I think now.”

Xiao Minghan covered his eyes and slumped in the back seat. Seeing his lost look, the driver repeatedly gave him advice, “If you don’t know how you feel about her, you should first feel what it’s like to lose her.”

This sentence made Xiao Minghan open his eyes in the darkness, staring at the roof of the car and thinking about this sentence.

“Here comes the young man. The total is 68.42. I’ll give you a zero. 68. How to pay?”

Unknowingly, he had arrived at the door. Xiao Minghan took out two red tickets and handed them over. The driver took out one and said, “I’ll change your money later.”

Xiao Minghan handed the other one over and said, “Master, there’s no need to look for it. The rest is just for you to help me, thank you.”

The driver smiled broadly and said, “It’s okay, young man.”

When An Yu returned home, Shen Luo had already fallen asleep. Not daring to turn on the light, he walked over in the dark and kissed the side of his face. It felt so unreal. When he put his hand on his ear, the pillow was soaked. An Yu touched the remaining tears at the corners of his eyes and gently helped him change his position and lay down.
