Li Jinnian, who returned to the hospital, came with the determination to bring Ye Jian back to Sir Fu; that was why he stared at Ye Jian the whole time when he spoke, not missing the slightest change on her face.
Seeing that Ye Jian’s expression changed drastically because of his words, his heart was faintly moved, and he felt that he might have found a breakthrough.
His soft voice like the snow in the Tianshan Mountains told the story, the dusty past, and slowly the past that had been kept in the heart of every Fu Family’s members was revealed, “No one knows when my uncle suddenly called home, even my grandfather and grandmother, they did not know at all.”
“One year later, Grandfather, who was studying a certain technology at that time, had a week off. He had not returned home for three years, so he planned to go home, but he was invited to another place before leaving the research base.”
Ye Jian’s hands clenched into fists lightly on her knees, she recalled in her mother’s diary, she clearly wrote, “I stood outside and waited and waited. The sun rose, and I was waiting. The sun was up, and I was still waiting. When the sunset clouds covered the sky, and the sun collected the last rays of light, I was still waiting.”
When Ye Jian read this sentence at the time, she didn’t understand its meaning. But after what the Devil King said, she thought, could it be that the person mother was waiting for since the sun rose till the sunset was…was her lover whom she was going to get their marriage certificate with?
Was that… was that what she meant?
Don’t worry, don’t rush, calm down and listen to what the Devil King has to say slowly. It was not time for her to speak yet; it was not time for everything to become clear.
As soon as her clenched hands were loosened quietly, she was grasped by a large slender, and powerful hand. She reflexively grasped that hand tightly at once, and her heartbeat became much calmer as if she was looking for support.
“It’s a very touching love story; listen well, Ye Jian.” Xia Jinyuan squeezed her hand, looking at her with deep smiley eyes that would make Ye Jian more calm, then he softly reminded, “Don’t be distracted, listen to the story first. “
Li Jinnian’s gaze stared at her right hand that crossed Xia Jinyuan’s fingers, and the thin lips that had been pursed revealed a slight smile.
He no longer had to be nervous, no longer had to be worried that Ye Jian would suddenly refuse to listen, because he knew that what he said about the past had successfully attracted Ye Jian and let her calm down and listen to him slowly.
“Until now, my grandfather still remembers that he spent five days and five nights from the car to the train and arrived in the deserted place with only yellow sand, where he saw uncle whom they had not seen for almost four years, and then he learned that uncle had been confined at that place for a year.”
“Someone reported to the army that uncle had leaked some secrets and had secret connections with foreign countries. Then, my uncle, like my grandfather, was engaged in missile research. Some people reported that he had leaked secrets about it. No matter whether the matter was true or false, it was very serious. Therefore, just to be on the safe side, they secretly took away all the research materials from my uncle.”
“Arriving at the destination, my grandfather saw my uncle whom he hadn’t seen for four year. They couldn’t even communicate with him in letters.”
“It was also at that time that the old man knew that uncle had been in confinement for a year, and that uncle found a girlfriend in the army, and they were going to get married. Unfortunately, just three days before uncle and aunt received their marriage certificate, uncle suddenly recalled the confinement. And the fiancée who was preparing to collect the certificate suddenly lost contact.”
Ye Jian, whose eyes had darkened, looked up at Li Jinnian for a moment as if to confirm something.
She didn’t immediately speak, making Li Jinnian, who was interrupted by her stare, nervous. There was no expression on his face as he calmly waited for Ye Jian to speak.
