Chapter 981: Miss, You Are Alive
Xiao Zhi held the umbrella for him, but Zhou Yao pushed the umbrella away. His handsome features were taut in the cold rain, and his footsteps were rushed. As a result, he failed to notice the small pit in front of him. The man’s tall body swayed, then he knelt on one knee in the puddle.
“General!” Everyone cried out in surprise.
Zhou Yao had always been a legend in the army, a G.o.d-like existence in the hearts of everyone. In all these years, no one had ever seen him in such a sorry state. In their eyes, this man would never fall.
However, after Zhou Yao knelt on one knee, he was unable to get up again. Bang! He punched the ground, causing water to splash in all directions. He furrowed his sword-like brows, and then his handsome and cold facial features twisted together in pain. “Zhiyuan…”
His Leng Zhiyuan!
Not only did he lose her, but now he even lost the red rope necklace.
All these years, he would always wake up from his dream with his forehead covered in sweat. His dreams were all about how Leng Zhiyuan had failed to feel his face one last time when they were on that island. When he woke up from his dream, the only thing that accompanied him was the red rope necklace. The red rope proved to him that she had been here before, that love had been here before…
But now, it was gone…
The red rope necklace was gone, and he had nothing left.
Bai Qi, who was standing under the big tree, looked at the scene in front of her. She saw the man curled up in pain. She held the red rope tightly in her hand, and the rain became heavier and heavier, just like the hot tears that kept rolling down her face.
…
Bai Qi continued to walk forward. She did not know where she was going, but when she stopped, she found that she had already arrived at Zhou Yao’s residence.
Now, the signboard of these two large rooms had been changed to “General’s Courtyard!”
However, when she first came here four years ago, he was still a major general, and there was no signboard.
This place hadn’t changed at all. Bai Qi looked at the rope outside the house. It was used to hang clothes. His military uniform was hanging on the rope, and now it was wet from the rain. He had been looking for the necklace and didn’t have time to collect his clothes.
Bai Qi could imagine how he would wash his clothes by himself because she had seen it before. After he took a cold shower, he would stand by the pool and wash his clothes without a s.h.i.+rt on, looking wild and unrestrained.
Bai Qi walked to the door. She reached out her hands to push the door, and it wasn’t locked. Although he was very meticulous when he went out on missions, he was careless in daily life. If there was gold in the house, it would have been stolen long ago. However, Bai Qi thought, he was now an army general. What a cool t.i.tle. Who would dare to steal from him?
Walking into the house, she slowly examined everything from the living room to the kitchen. Although she hadn’t been here for long, she made many memories.
She cooked for the first time in that kitchen and made a mess. He would cook for her when he came back. He also liked to tease her. He would tease her until her face turned red and then would go sleep on the sofa.
Finally, Bai Qi walked into the bedroom. The bedroom was clean and tidy. A nicely folded quilt laid on the bed. The image of the two of them doing it on the bed showed up in her mind clearly. He had a good physique and couldn’t stop once he started. She didn’t know what she was thinking at that time, but she wore red lingerie for him. At night, when he went hard on her, the lingerie would hang loosely over her neck. She was always afraid that the bed would collapse or that the soldiers outside would hear them, so she would beg him in a low voice.
And he liked to see her embarra.s.sed and angry face. He was infatuated with her body. He had once said that during the day when he saw her wearing a tight-fitting black outfit, showing off her big b.r.e.a.s.t.s and big b.u.t.tocks, he wanted to mess with her. He wanted to mess with her to the death.
She remembered everything. She remembered everything that had happened since the day they met.
But…
Bai Qi stood in front of the mirror and looked at the unfamiliar face in the mirror. How did she become like this? Who was she? She almost couldn’t even recognize herself.
The heavens had played a big joke on her again!
…
The next day, Bai Qi left the army by car. She didn’t ask about Zhou Yao’s condition. She just wanted to leave this place.
Bai Bo saw her pale face and wanted to take her to the hospital. Bai Qi shook her head. She didn’t want to go. She returned to the city, bid farewell to Bai Bo, and went back to her apartment.
In this 48-square-meter small house, Bai Qi finally calmed down. When something happened, the first thing she had to do was to accept it.
She still had a lot of things to do, and a lot of people she wanted to see.
She took out her phone and dialed a number.
After two beeps, Ah Chen’s voice came over. “h.e.l.lo, who is this?”
“h.e.l.lo, Ah Chen, it’s me!” Bai Qi’s voice was a little hoa.r.s.e.
There was a gasp. Ah Chen’s voice was trembling from extreme shock, “Miss. . . Miss. . .”
“Mmm, it’s me.”
“Oh, my goodness. Miss… You are actually alive. Then what happened four years ago? We saw you being buried at the Zhou’s family cemetery.”
“That coffin was empty. I didn’t die. As for what happened four years ago, I’m not too sure. When I opened my eyes, I was already in a desolate mountain.”
“Miss, why didn’t you come back?”
“I lost my memory. I only regained it yesterday.”
“That’s great, Miss. I want to tell the young master this good news. The young master will be very happy when he knows…”
“Ah Chen,” Leng Zhiyuan interrupted him. “Don’t tell anyone about me.”
“Why? Miss, you don’t know how heartbroken young master was when he found out about your accident four years ago. The higher-ups blocked all the news. When the young master found out about your accident, it was already too late. You were already buried. The young master lost his mind and fell out with the Zhou family. The young master wanted to bring your tombstone back, but Zhou Yao refused. The two almost fought. Later, Old Master Zhou carried young master Sileng out. Young Master Sileng kept crying, and his small face was red from crying. The young master wanted to take Sileng away, but little Sileng only wanted Zhou Yao. Whenever Zhou Yao hugged Sileng in his arms, Sileng would stop crying. In the end, the young master gave in.”
Sileng…
Her Little Sileng…
Bai Qi’s eyes were red. She could even imagine that scene. For a child to be born prematurely at eight and a half months, he must have felt the tense atmosphere. He was afraid. Without his mommy to hug him, he only wanted his daddy…
Bai Qi tried hard to suppress the tears in her eyes. “I’ll tell big brother when the time is right. Right now, my situation is a little complicated.”
“Miss, do you need help?”
“No need.” Bai Qi shook her head. “How has big brother been these four years?”
Ah Chen’s tone became very heavy, “Four years ago, What happened to Miss was a big blow on the young master. The young master was immersed in grief. The young master thought that it’s because of the b.l.o.o.d.y business the Leng family had been doing in Hong Kong that Miss and the Old Master suffered accidents one after another. So the young master returned to Hong Kong, ended all business dealings, and retired. Now, the young master is running many companies.”
