Chapter 144: Chapter 144 All Eyes of Joy

When it rains in the countryside, there is a large vat in grandma’s yard with water lilies in it, and when raindrops fall on the lotus leaves, they resemble crystal-clear beads, which then tip off the leaves as they tilt.

Fu Ying leaned on the table, holding her phone and looking at it. He sent her a photo of the bus stop across from their high school and added a line: Let’s take our wedding photos here if we ever get married.

Fu Ying stared at that text, burying her face in her arms and giggled for a long time.

That stop held so many of her secrets; she would sit there sketching him, daydreaming about him, and, fortuitously, meeting him there.

Fu Ying still recalls the first time she bumped into him at the station; he had a cigarette in his mouth and looked a bit off, and she blurted out "mister" in her fluster.

Marriage.

What a beautiful word.

Fu Ying tapped lightly on her phone screen and replied with one word.

The skies were clear in the city, Shen Liguang went to Ji’s Chestnut Shop to get Li Ruolan some sugar-roasted chestnuts.

When he passed by the bus stop near that high school, he inexplicably stopped his car by the roadside.

No one was at the bus stop; he raised his hand and took a photo, sent it to Fu Ying.

Somewhat dazed, he even saw, under each dim streetlight, that girl obediently sitting, not knowing what she’s thinking, but always deep in thoughts, head bowed, writing and drawing earnestly in her notebook.

The evening breeze gently blew, and strands of hair fluttered around the girl’s ears, multiple times, she suddenly looked up, and each time, like a thief, his heart was thrown into disarray and then throbbed madly.

Watching her board the bus and leave, he returned home, unable to calm that intense emotion for a long time.

He looked down at his phone; the girl had replied with "Okay," it felt as if he owned the whole world.

Shen Liguang: Then, it’s decided.

As long as it’s her, even if it’s just a dream, he is willing to be the moth to the flame, doomed from his decision.

Fu Ying: Yes, it’s decided.

"Tsk tsk, Yingying, you’re smiling so sweetly."

Grandma suddenly appeared behind her, Fu Ying jumped, hurriedly putting away her phone, flushed, "No."

"Texting Xiao Shen?"

"No."

Grandma didn’t believe her: "Look at your blushing face, you can’t fool Grandma."

Fu Ying, with a shy smile: "Grandma, you really like him too, don’t you?"

Grandma thought about it seriously: "I’ve talked with Xiao Shen once. He speaks well and is polite to elders, he’s a friend of Yi’s, and also the one Yingying chooses, his character must be good, just that being a firefighter is too dangerous."

Fu Ying leaned on the table, sighed, "Being a firefighter is indeed dangerous, but I support whatever he chooses."

Grandma looked at her.

Seeing the slight sadness on her little face, yet filled with joy, it’s always hard to hide love

The eyes reveal it.

When that person is around, you always look towards them.

When they’re not around, even hearing his name, your eyes light up with happiness.

Girl, though you’re here, your heart has long flown away.

"Not married yet, and your heart has already run off with him?"

Fu Ying blushed: "No, not really, I mean, I just feel that, I like him and naturally worry about him, think of him, and I understand and support him."

Grandma smiled knowingly: "Young but you speak so maturely."

"Grandma, I’ve liked him for a long time, I hope to marry him when I turn twenty." Fu Ying said, tapping on the wooden table, worried Grandma might disagree.

"Whatever you’ve decided, Grandma supports it."

"Thank you, Grandma." Fu Ying hugged her and happily rubbed against her.

Grandma smiled joyfully: "Yingying, whatever you do, Grandma supports."

When the rain stopped, the outside had also darkened.

The countryside air is fresh. After dinner, people began to enjoy the cooler air outside, the evening breeze also brought a chill after the rain.

Fu Ying had just taken a shower and sent a message to Shen Liguang on WeChat.

The city didn’t start raining until the night. Shen Liguang leaned on the sofa, flipping through the love poems the girl had written for him.

Li Ruolan peeled chestnuts and asked: "Is it time to bring your girlfriend home for a visit?"

Shen Liguang thought of Fu Ying’s embarrassed expression and hesitated: "Let’s talk about it later."

Li Ruolan frowned: "You’re not lying to me, are you?"

"Lying about what?"

"About having a girlfriend to avoid matchmaking."

"The girl is shy, embarrassed to come."

Li Ruolan nodded: "I see, but if you are planning to marry her, you’ll have to meet sooner or later."

"I’ll talk to her when she gets back."

Li Ruolan laughed: "You really like her, don’t you?"

Shen Liguang frowned: "Why would I be with her if I didn’t like her?"

"What I mean is, you’ve fallen hard." Li Ruolan is experienced; she knows her son too well.

Always staring at his phone, reading that stack of letters over and over, and his expression, that smile while reading... quite different.

He’s fallen hard.

Shen Liguang gave a smile.

No wonder, he couldn’t help himself.

"What’s the girl like, to make you feel this way?"

Shen Liguang thought for a moment: "Nothing special, just very different from others."

"..." Li Ruolan was stunned for a moment, she didn’t understand.

"It’s late, go to sleep, Mom."

Li Ruolan nodded: "Yes, I’ll go to sleep in a bit."

Watching her son go into his room, Li Ruolan began to worry.

It’s his first relationship at his age and he’s fallen deep. She wondered whether it was a good or bad thing.

Thinking about it, Li Ruolan shook her head, it was a young person’s matter. Her son is prudent and would think deeply before getting serious.

...

Days felt long since the girl left.

It had been more than ten days, and counting these two, she should be back soon.

They had just gone on a mission, and were now heading back, passing the national highway intersection when they witnessed a car accident.

A large truck had overturned, a small car nearby screeched its brakes but still collided.

"Pull over to the side, let’s save people."

The accident wasn’t severe; the truck was moving slowly and rolled over due to being overloaded. The people inside suffered slight injuries, the car braked timely, just hitting the truck’s cabin, crumpling the front.

Shen Liguang was about to open the driver’s door when suddenly the rear car door was opened, and a blood-stained hand stretched out from the back seat, slender and pale, with bright red blood dripping down, strikingly noticeable.

The girl, pale-faced and covering her arm, got out of the car and looked dazedly at Shen Liguang.

In an instant, Shen Liguang’s heart dropped from the peak to the valley. Seeing her unharmed and standing in front of him, his heart relaxed.

Fu Ying was still in shock, the man walked over quickly, his hand roughly pulling her into his embrace.

Pressed against his chest, she heard his heartbeat, it was racing.

She blinked, and quietly comforted him: "I’m, I’m okay, it just that the truck suddenly tipped over, scared me to death."

"It scared me to death too."

Fu Yan cursed: "Fuck! Could you two not be so lovey-dovey at this very moment, damn it, someone come save me, my fucking leg is stuck."
