Chapter 132 - Chapter 132: Long Known
Song Yao sighed. “I want to too. Back then, I even bought a ticket to the county, but because I saved a soldier on the way, I was delayed again. Then, I was nineteen years old. The villagers said that if I delayed any longer, I might become an old lady in the future…”
At the mention of this, Song Yao’s face was filled with regret. She said to Zuo Huo, “That soldier’s face was covered in blood! It looked like he carried out some dangerous mission. There were many wounds on his body.”
Hearing Song Yao’s words, Zuo Huo frowned dangerously. “When did you save that soldier?”
Song Yao thought for a long time. “It was the day before my college entrance examination. Oh right, it was June 7th!”
Zuo Huo frowned. “Then do you remember any characteristics on him?”
Song Yao did not know why Zuo Huo suddenly asked about the soldier. She could only repeatedly think about what happened that day and what kind of appearance the soldier she saved had…
“There seems to be a mole at the corner of his eye…” Song Yao turned around and happened to meet Zuo Huo’s starry eyes. There was a mole at the man’s right eye!
Zuo Huo lifted his sleeve. “Was there also a crescent-shaped scar on his arm?”
“Yes!” Song Yao cried. “There’s something on him. That crescent-shaped scar was cut out by me with a knife. Could it be that you are?”
Zuo Huo wiped Song Yao’s tears. “Yao, so we knew each other back then?”
Song Yao’s eyes were red. “Why did you leave without saying goodbye at that time?! Your injuries hadn’t healed yet!”
Zuo Huo pulled Song Yao into his arms. “Because that’s the duty of a soldier!”
“Then… did it hurt at that time?” Song Yao asked. Zuo Huo smiled. “It’s been so long. How can I remember it so clearly?”
Song Yao wiped her tears. “Take off your clothes.” “What are you doing?” Zuo Huo was puzzled.
Song Yao cried, “I told you to take off your clothes!”
Zuo Huo could not dissuade Song Yao. His slender hands unbuttoned his shirt one by one.
Song Yao despised Zuo Huo for being too slow in unbuttoning his clothes. She helped him unbutton his shirt, revealing his firm muscles.
Song Yao’s face turned red. Although she had seen Zuo Huo’s body a long time ago, it was when he was unconscious.
“Turn around.”
Zuo Huo obediently turned around. There were many dried scars on his broad back, and most of them looked like knife scars!
Song Yao couldn’t help but cry.
This frightened Zuo Huo. He put on his clothes with one hand and hugged Song Yao. “Why are you crying? Don’t be afraid, I’m here!”
Song Yao’s eyes were red from crying. “Zuo Huo, I’ll be with you every day from now on!”
Zuo Huo smiled. “I know you can’t bear for me to leave, but before the college entrance examination at home, I have to work and you have to study. It’s impossible to be together every day.”
When did this Zuo Huo like to argue with her so much?
Song Yao cried, “Then we must be together!”
“Yes, I must be with you!” Zuo Huo looked like he was coaxing a child.
In the afternoon, Zuo Huo and Song Yao didn’t have time to shop, so they rushed to the airport.
It was Song Yao’s first time taking a plane, so she couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
Zuo Huo held her hand all the way until the plane landed in Beijing. It only took six hours.
After getting off the plane and looking at the western-style building in front of her, Song Yao felt that the capital seemed to be different from what she had imagined.
This place seemed to be bigger and more prosperous than Sangqiu City. Several new shopping malls were built near the airport. The tall buildings dazzled Song Yao. There was actually an entire market in the underground passage!
There were countless vendors selling things, and most of them said that they were imported goods. Song Yao was curious about where the goods were imported, but she was pulled away by Zuo Huo.
“Have you forgotten what happened to Yu Yong on the train? If you dare to buy what they’re selling, you might even be caught!”
At the mention of this, Song Yao was caught between laughter and tears. “But why did Yu Yong bring mercury on the train? I thought he was going out to work.”
Zuo Huo said, “Nowadays, many people do smuggling for the sake of earning money. This is more common than you think. Otherwise, do you think Yu Yong can afford to raise Pang Jiao? Perhaps he already knew what was inside and was just pretending to be confused..”
