Your promise, my sea

Chapter 14 He's My Husband's Son
The results of the preliminary test came out the next day, and Yan Zhen was a little surprised when he received the retest call.After hanging up the phone, Yan Zhen was inexplicably agitated.The child looked at her while cleaning the eggs on the plate, Yan Zhen patted his little face: "Battle speed will solve the breakfast, I will send you to school first, and then go to the interview!"

The child asked naively: "What is an interview?"

"Just looking for a job!"

Now that the child understood, he lowered his head and stopped talking.Yan Zhen was busy for a while, and noticed his silence: "Jia Ming, what's wrong?"

"Teacher, aren't you coming back to be my teacher?" the child pouted and asked.

Yan Zhen touched his hand: "Isn't Teacher Shen still there?"

"I don't like Teacher Shen."

Yan Zhen smiled, bent down and pinched his face: "I just don't want to be your teacher anymore, but no matter what I do, I will always be with you, is that okay?"

The child raised his head, his eyes were bright: "Really?"

"Of course!" Her answer was firm.

The kid laughed.

The re-examination was held in the faculty building of the School of Management of C University, and it was already a bit late for Yan Zhen to arrive.Just as she was looking for the sign, a young female teacher who looked like a teaching assistant led her to Song Fuzhen's office.

Yan Zhen was a little surprised, but still walked in.

Song Fuzhen was looking at something, when she saw her coming in, she only raised her head slightly, gestured to her to please sit down, then lowered her head and continued to read the documents.

Yan Zhen hesitated for a moment, sat opposite her, and handed over his resume by the way.Song Fuzhen took a look at her, took out her resume, and read it carefully page by page, without any emotion on her expression.

After waiting for a long time, Yan Zhen said: "Professor Song, I remember you said that the re-examination is conducted in the form of group discussion without a leader, why now..."

Song Fuzhen looked at her puzzled expression, and finally showed a smile: "You are right, the discussion is going on in the next room, depending on the time, it should start."

Yan Zhen looked up at her in surprise.

"Actually, you didn't pass the initial test." Song Fuzhen said casually, and the carefully crafted resume she held in her hand instantly became a joke, "I couldn't believe the plan full of loopholes after reading it, This turned out to be from the hands of Professor Li's students?"

Yan Zhen stood there in embarrassment, because she found that she could not refute.

"Later, I thought that you had a window of time after graduation, so I thought I should give you another chance. Whether it's to see Professor Li or his face."

Her tone was flat, but it was ironic to Yan Zhen's ears: "Professor Song, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't think there is any need for it."

She picked up her bag and wanted to leave, Song Fuzhen was a little puzzled when she saw this: "Oh? Why did you reject me? I mean to give you a chance, you can come in if you pass."

Yan Zhen brushed his hair and said seriously: "I know, but this is just my own business, I don't want to take advantage of other people's face."

"Is he someone else?" Song Fuzhen raised her eyebrows and asked.

This is really a dilemma where the answer is no, and no answer is no. Yan Zhen gritted his teeth and did not speak.

Song Fuzhen got up and handed the resume to her: "Since you are unwilling to accept this opportunity, you should take this resume. It can be seen that you have worked hard, and I don't want it to go into the shredder."

Yan Zhen took it and put it away carefully.

Song Fuzhen looked at her movements and smiled: "Actually, I was selfish and called you. Besides the interview, I also want to see what kind of person I am, who can make Jia Ming, a naughty brat, like you so much. You probably don't know, Jia Ming used to come to stay with us for a few days every Chinese New Year, but not this year. His grandfather missed him and asked me to see if he was okay, so I went to you one afternoon School. The little guy is gaining weight again, playing with other children in the class, and restraining himself when he sees me passing by."

Yan Zhen looked at her, Song Fuzhen at the moment made her a little unpredictable.

"I asked him, I said Jia Ming, is it okay to go home for dinner with grandma at night, the little guy reluctantly refused, and he said that he would go home with you at night. I thought at that time, don't care if he calls or not After your mother, he has already recognized you in his heart."

"I know." Yan Zhen said.

Song Fuzhen came back to her senses, and took another look at her: "Actually, Huai Yue has always been a good son-in-law. Mothers have selfish intentions. My daughter passed away for so many years and Huai Yue did not remarry. Now she is finally married, so I want to see it again. How can this woman be better than my daughter."

Yan Zhen laughed at himself: "I'm afraid I've let you down."

"No." Song Fuzhen said, "You are better than her. You are more sensible and considerate than her. Ke Ke has spoiled me since she was a child. I used to work in City B, and Ke Ke lived there with me. Later, I got busy and didn't have time to take care of her, so I sent her back to school in City C. But her father was also busy, so now that I think about it, we owe a lot to this child. At that time, she lived in an old house, very close to Gu's family , the Gu family took care of her a lot."

Yan Zhen, of course, knows all of this.

"So, later she was going to marry Huai Yue, and I agreed. But it didn't take long for me to regret it. They were not suitable. He was a soldier for many years, but what Ke Ke needed most was company. Sometimes I I just thought, if he could have spent more time with her then, the situation might not be like it is now."

Song Fuzhen stared out the window, her thoughts were deep in memory, her eyes were a little distant.It didn't take long for her to come back to her senses, because she heard Yan Zhen say something: "Professor Song, you are actually quite selfish as a mother."

Song Fuzhen returned to her senses, and looked at her with a slight frown.

Yan Zhen's eyes were calm, and he even smiled slightly: "I used to envy Lin Ke. I envied that she was loved by so many people and could live a carefree life. But now hearing what you said, I feel that, in fact, She's pathetic too."

"How to say?" Song Fuzhen's face changed slightly.

"Parents and home are useless, only the love of outsiders can make her feel a little warm, isn't it pitiful?"

"What do you know?" Song Fuzhen said with suppressed anger.

How did she know that she didn't understand? Yan Zhen had never experienced this feeling more deeply than before!
"Then how much do you know?" Yan Zhen said a little excitedly, and the bag in his hand fell to the ground without holding it firmly.She was stunned for a while and didn't pick it up, but her voice had returned to calm, but it was a little hoarse, "I just want to say, don't put your mistakes and regrets on others, parents should also look back at themselves."

Song Fuzhen had never been educated like this in her life, and she was a little angry: "I think you have a lot of opinions on me, what else, let's talk about it together!"

Yan Zhen shook her head: "I don't have any prejudice against you, even if you didn't let me pass the interview, I should, I know my own level." After thinking about it, she said: "I just remembered something, I don't know when Speak inappropriately."

"speak!"

"It's Jiaming." Yan Zhen spoke slowly, "Have you ever wondered why he is so reluctant to go to grandma and grandpa's house?"

Song Fuzhen was stunned: "What can such an older child know?!"

"Of course I understand!" Yan Zhen said, "It's just that you think he doesn't understand. These children understand your partiality and alienation, but he just doesn't know how to say it."

Song Fuzhen seemed to have been beaten, she stood there silent for a moment and said, "You bring him here, I'll tell him."

Seeing this, Yan Zhen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Song Fuzhen raising his hand: "You bring him, I'll tell him!"

Yan Zhen had no choice but to swallow back what he wanted to say, and stood still, Song Fuzhen asked in a deep voice, "Aren't you going?"

"Let's talk about it after you calm down." She didn't want to implicate the children in bearing Song Fuzhen's anger.

Song Fuzhen was very angry: "I'm his grandmother, I can't even see him? What's your relationship with him?"

What did she think of him, she thought of the child's tender face and his slender figure, she said: "He is my husband's son."

Sure enough, Song Fuzhen was so angry with her that her face flushed and she pointed at her, not knowing what to say.Looking at her, Yan Zhen didn't feel any sense of victory, on the contrary, he felt a little uneasy.Yan Zhen stepped forward to support her, but she pushed her away.

"Go away!" Song Fuzhen yelled angrily, and there was a burst of tearing pain in her head.She bent down and covered her head in pain, and a suppressed moan of pain escaped from her mouth.

When Yan Zhen saw this, he knew something was wrong: "Where's the medicine?"

Song Fuzhen reluctantly opened her eyes to look at Yan Zhen, trying to get angry, but when she got angry, she got a splitting headache, and she kicked the desk drawer with her legs.Yan Zhen opened it and saw that there was indeed a bottle of medicine for high blood pressure inside.She glanced at it, poured out a few pills, poured another cup of hot water for Song Fuzhen to swallow, and pulled out a hand to dial the emergency number of the hospital.

"Don't move, I'll take you to the hospital later."

"I'm not going--"

Song Fuzhen pushed her hand, trying to stand up, but her legs softened as soon as she exerted force, and the feeling of darkness came over instantly.Yan Zhen hurriedly supported her, feeling upset for a while.

The ambulance came very quickly, and Song Fuzhen was sent directly to the emergency room. After a lot of fuss, her condition was controlled and she was smoothly transferred to a single ward.

At this point, Yan Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.She stepped on somewhat weak steps, walked to the hospital bed and sat down, put her bag on her lap, and carefully looked at the sleeping Song Fuzhen with her eyes.It is only under such circumstances that Yan Zhen can look at her without a moment, and she is too imposing when she is awake.

After an unknown amount of time, Song Fuzhen moved her hands and eyelids slightly, as if she was about to wake up, Yan Zhen leaned over to look at her, and was about to go out and call the doctor.

"No need to call." She stopped Yan Zhen, her voice was hoarse but still majestic, "I'll just lie down for a while."

Yan Zhen bowed his body, and sat down anyway: "Yeah."

Song Fuzhen opened her eyes vigorously, looked at Yan Zhen who was sitting by the bed, and asked in a low voice: "It seems that this is not the first time you have encountered this situation."

"My grandma also has high blood pressure." Yan Zhen said.

Song Fuzhen nodded inconspicuously, she still didn't like Yan Zhen, but at the moment she couldn't get angry either.She turned her head and said in a hoarse voice, "Use my mobile phone to call Lao Lin, and you can leave when you're done."

Yan Zhen was silent for a few seconds, and did as he was told.The security guard answered the call, saying that Mr. Lin was in a meeting and that he would be sent to the hospital after the meeting, so Yan Zhen was relieved.

The general courtyard of the military region was overcrowded, and everyone was in a hurry, but Yan Zhen walked slowly in the corridor.Maybe she was too excited today, or maybe she was too nervous, and when she relaxed, she felt weak and had no support.She had to sit down on the bench next to the corridor, looking at the sunlight blocked by a thick layer of windows, feeling cold all over her body.

Perhaps, what she said to Song Fuzhen today was a little too much.But she has no regrets, she will always say what should be said, and what should come will always come.She couldn't avoid it, so she faced it directly.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhen leaned back slightly, closed his eyes, and prepared to take a rest.Suddenly the phone in the bag rang again, she opened her eyes suddenly, took out the phone, and pressed the call button without even looking at it.

"Yan Zhen."

There was a male voice that she didn't expect coming from the other end, Yan Zhen was stunned for a while before realizing it was Gu Huaiyue.For a moment, she didn't know how to speak, she was silent for a long time, and then gave a muffled hum.

"Where are you?"

His background sounded a little noisy, and Yan Zhen had to use his strength to hear what he said clearly. She looked around and said, "I'm at school, what's the matter?" Subconsciously, she didn't want him to know that she was here.

Gu Huaiyue groaned, and smiled: "Then it shouldn't be you."

"what happened?"

"It's okay. I called you last night and said that I would go back to City C today. Jia Ming picked me up, saying that you were outside. I guess this kid forgot to tell you." Gu Huaiyue said, Yan Zhen was dumbfounded. Listen, it seems that I can't understand what he is saying, "I'm doing some work in the hospital now, and I saw a person whose back looks a bit like you, I should be wrong—"

"Where are you?" She interrupted him directly.

"I'm in the General Hospital of the Military Region. The political commissar's father is seriously ill. Deputy Division Commander Qiao and I will come and see on behalf of the division. What time do you get off work? I'll pick you up later." Gu Huaiyue said as he walked out of the ward. Aware of the silence on the other end, he called her again, "Yan Zhen."

"You look up." Her trembling voice came from the other end of the phone, which completely overlapped with a voice coming from the front. He immediately raised his head and saw Yan Zhen standing not far away with the phone.Gu Huaiyue looked at her in surprise, while Yan Zhen hung up the phone and threw himself into his arms.

Gu Huaiyue hugged her trembling body subconsciously, and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

Yan Zhen didn't speak.

She felt a little unbelievable, just when she was exhausted, she looked up and saw him, it felt like a dream, she heard his voice in her ear, watched him walking towards her, and then raised her head Facing her eyes, the familiar eyes and the warmth and strength she felt when being hugged told her that this was not a dream, it was him.

Thinking, Yan Zhen hugged him even tighter.Gu Huaiyue didn't urge her, just let her hug him like this, and instinctively told him that she must have been wronged, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

He smoothed her long hair, and asked in a coaxing voice, "What's the matter, huh?"

Yan Zhen was stuffy in his arms for a while before he let go. He stood up straight, with a pair of red eyes embedded in his fair face: "I got into trouble."

"Trouble?" Gu Huaiyue frowned, "What trouble?"

Yan Zhen bowed his head, took a breath, and recounted what happened just now.Gu Huaiyue's brows also gradually loosened a little, and in the end, there was even a bit of an annoyed smile.He scratched her nose and said, "I thought something big happened."

"Isn't this a big deal?" Yan Zhen was extremely frustrated, "I don't know what to do now."

Seeing her tangled expression, Gu Huaiyue thought for a while and said, "Which ward is the old lady in now?"

Yan Zhen pointed to the ward not far away: "That's the one."

"Then I'll go and have a look first, you wait for me here, and we'll go home together later." He straightened her messy hair and looked at her with such a gentle expression, Yan Zhen nodded almost unconsciously .Anyway, Song Fuzhen didn't want to see her at the moment, so she waited quietly outside.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Gu Huaiyue came out of the ward.

When Yan Zhen raised his head, he asked him with his eyes. He smiled and said, "I didn't say anything. The old lady wants to rest. She came out after chatting a few words. There's nothing wrong, so relax, huh?"

Yan Zhen nodded and stood up holding his hand.

Gu Huaiyue looked at her and raised his eyebrows: "Can you walk? No, I'll hug you."

He asked seriously, but the nurse passing by and overheard smiled and kept looking back at them.Yan Zhen blushed, and it was only now that she was relieved: "No, why did you come back suddenly?"

"The political commissar Gao's father is seriously ill, and Lao Liu is not in good health, so let me come over with Deputy Commander Qiao to take a look. He lives in the General Hospital of the Military Region, do you want to go and have a look?"

"No, it's too embarrassing today. I'll go see it tomorrow." She looked up at him and asked, "Today or tomorrow? Can I go home tonight?"

Gu Huaiyue stared at her face, he saw her exhaustion, grievance and uneasiness in his eyes, and suddenly his heart ached, he hugged her: "I'll tell Deputy Teacher Qiao that I won't leave tonight."

Deputy Master Qiao is a reasonable old man, and he knew that his objection was invalid, so he let him go back after saying "a spring night is worth a thousand dollars".

After a busy day, I really want to take a good rest when I get home.

But as soon as she entered the door, she thought of a question, patted her forehead, and said, "I haven't picked Jiaming home yet!"

She completely forgot about the children, it's over now!

But Gu Huaiyue wrote lightly: "He won't come back tonight, I asked Feng Zhan to send him to Lin's house."

"The Lin family?" She paused when she changed her shoes, then immediately put the shoes on her feet again, and walked out without even taking her bag.

"Yan Zhen." Gu Huaiyue called to stop her.

Yan Zhen didn't look back: "I'll go and bring him back, I have to go and bring him back."

"Yan Zhen, listen to me." He grabbed her arm, and she broke free without any effort. Gu Huaiyue had to hug her back with all his strength.

"I can't let them blame the kids!" she said eagerly.

"I know, but they are his grandparents, and they have wanted to see him for so long."

"But they don't love him!"

"No." He held her into his arms, "Grandma Jia Ming said that they need time to talk to Jia Ming to clear up the misunderstanding. Just take him back overnight, tomorrow, tomorrow!"

He promised, like coaxing a child.Yan Zhen calmed down slowly and let go of him: "I see, I'll take a bath first."

After speaking, he walked towards the bathroom, leaving Gu Huaiyue standing alone, with a helpless expression and a bit dumbfounded.

This is, angry?

Yan Zhen was bored in the bathroom for nearly two hours, during which someone knocked on the door twice to ask if she was okay, but she pretended not to hear and did not answer the door.When she got dressed and walked to the living room, he, who was only wearing a military shirt, had already prepared dinner: "Eat something."

Gu Huaiyue pulled out the chair for her, Yan Zhen took a look and said, "I'm a little tired, I want to sleep."

Gu Huaiyue was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, then rest first."

Speaking of taking the lead into the bedroom, and making the bed for her with one hand, Yan Zhen hurriedly reached out to stop him: "No need, I will do it myself."

Gu Huaiyue grabbed her fidgeting hand: "Yan Zhen, I'm leaving tomorrow."

She paused, withdrew her hand, and said in a low voice, "I know." There's no need for him to remind you all the time!

Gu Huaiyue smiled and walked towards the restaurant.After finishing dinner, I have to save some for someone, who made him angry with her.

After taking a shower, Gu Huaiyue returned to the bedroom.The bedroom was dark and the light was not turned on, so he lay beside her in his clothes.As soon as I lay down, the exhaustion accumulated throughout the day surged up.

After the phone call with Commissar Gao yesterday, Lao Liu decided to send a representative from his division to visit City C, and the number one candidate was Gu Huaiyue.Gu Huaiyue agreed without saying a word, and came with Deputy Teacher Qiao early the next morning.

He knew what was wrong, he missed it.I miss the naughty kid, and I miss her again.Thinking of this, he moved his arms around Yan Zhen's waist, pulled her closer, and kissed her cheek.

Yan Zhen froze, turned his head, and met his bright eyes in the dark night.

"Aren't you angry anymore?"

Gu Huaiyue asked.Yan Zhen was silent for a while, buried her head in his arms, and then said sullenly after a while: "I was thinking, I shouldn't have provoked her so much."

"The old lady won't blame you."

"You know it all?"

"Yeah." Gu Huaiyue said while running her hair, "Yan Zhen, it's actually my fault. The old lady thinks that I have been away for many years and I don't discipline my son very much, so she is very strict with Jia Ming. After a long time I don’t know how to love children anymore. I said I would not force the little guy to do what he doesn’t like, but this time we will also give the old lady some time to talk to Jia Ming, shall we?”

She thought for a minute before opening her mouth: "Send it back tomorrow?"

"tomorrow."

"Okay." She replied, and lay back in his arms again.This kind of cuddling made her feel very comfortable and at ease.Not long after hearing Gu Huaiyue smile, she couldn't help turning her head: "What are you laughing at?"

"I just remembered a sentence that Deputy Master Qiao said."

"What?" She asked, feeling a little regretful after asking, feeling that it must not be a good word.

"Deputy Master Qiao said that a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, and we wasted a thousand gold discussing such an issue."

Yan Zhen was a little speechless, and wanted to turn his head away, but he hugged his waist: "I'm leaving tomorrow."

"I know!" Yan Zhen shouted angrily.

Gu Huaiyue was not angry, but hugged her closer and closer, his head almost touching Yan Zhen's forehead. "So tonight has to be memorable." After speaking, his lips pressed over.When Yan Zhen realized it, he could only slander him for being cunning in his heart!

After a lingering night, the next morning, Gu Huaiyue and Yan Zhen went to pick up the children and go home.

The car drove directly outside the Lin family's courtyard. Yan Zhen had just unfastened his seat belt, and when he looked up, he saw the little man standing leaning against the courtyard gate. He was taken aback, and got out of the car in a hurry.

Gu Jiaming looked at Teacher Yan walking towards him with a bulging face, and wanted to criticize her with a serious expression, but before he could mutter, Yan Zhen hugged her, and wrapped the little commander in his warm embrace. His complaints were suppressed.

"Is it cold, why are you waiting here?" Yan Zhen raised his hand and pressed the child's hat.

The kid watched the chief walking towards him slowly, and muttered, "Teacher, you are so mean, I wanted to give you a surprise."

That night, Yan Zhen came to Lin's house to hand in the plan, and the child was playing games at home alone, but the chief called and said that he would go home the next day. The child was naturally very happy, and waited eagerly for Teacher Yan to come back and tell her this. Good news, but when he dozed off, Teacher Yan still hadn't come back.The child turned his head and decided not to tell her, but to give her a surprise.Unexpectedly, the two of them partnered to give the little guy a "surprise" and sent him to his grandmother's house.

Faced with the children's "condemnation", Teacher Yan lowered his head.

Gu Huaiyue came over and raised the kid's hat with his hands, causing him to raise his head and turn his eyes around him.It's only been a month or two, and the little guy's face looked fat again, Gu Huaiyue couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch it, causing him to glare.

Yan Zhen rescued the child's bun face from Gu Huaiyue's hands, and asked around him, "Jia Ming, did you receive any training last night?"

The kid looked at her with eyes rolling, and before he could speak, a deep and hoarse male voice came from behind: "Hmph, it's still just as naughty, who can discipline your kid?"

Gu Huaiyue immediately stood up straight when he heard the sound, and saluted the person who suddenly appeared from the door.

The person who came was Mr. Lin, Lin Chongbo.

Yan Zhen also stood up in embarrassment, looked at Lin Chongbo who was wearing a military jacket, and took the child's schoolbag from him.Lin Chongbo raised his hand to signal the two of them to relax, bent down, and met the child's bright eyes.

The kid Gu Jiaming is so smart and cute. He blinked and grinned, which made Lin Chongbo's usually serious face reveal a soft smile. He touched the kid's forehead and rubbed his head, then got up. Looking at Gu Huaiyue and Yan Zhen: "Take him away, so that the little guy won't talk all day long."

Just as Gu Huaiyue nodded, the kid ran to Yan Zhen's legs with a "whoosh" and grabbed the hem of her clothes.Yan Zhen was a little embarrassed, but still hugged the little guy's shoulders.

This scene made Lin Chongbo laugh. He looked at Gu Huaiyue and said, "Hurry up, I heard that you are also short on time, so get together as often as you can."

Yan Zhen comforted the little friend, bit his lips and said, "Mr. Lin, I want to see Professor Song." Seeing Lin Chongbo looking at her, Yan Zhen simply said: "Yesterday, I also did something wrong, I want to tell her in person. apologize."

She spoke sincerely, unexpectedly, Lin Chongbo snorted, and said dissatisfied: "You reminded me, our old lady was so angry with you yesterday."

Yan Zhen was taken aback by his rapid face change, Gu Huaiyue was also a little puzzled, and frowned slightly.Seeing that the three people in front of him were being bluffed by him, Lin Chongbo smiled relievedly: "Okay, I won't scare you anymore, the old lady is sleeping upstairs. When I came back last night, she saw that her face was not right, and she plunged into Ke Ke's bed We couldn't come out of the house, and when Jia Ming came over, he hugged the little guy and cried violently, but it scared us, and we didn't sleep soundly until three o'clock in the morning."

When Yan Zhen heard this, he felt extremely guilty.Gu Huaiyue noticed something, and hugged her shoulder to comfort her.Lin Chongbo saw the unabashed intimacy and sighed in his heart.Keke once had such a happy opportunity, what a pity!Thinking of his daughter who died young, Mr. Lin also panicked.He waved his hand and paced back slowly.

The courtyard door in front of him was closed, and Gu Huaiyue turned his head to look at the two people beside him, one tall and one short.Little Gu Jiaming felt uncomfortable being watched by him, and rubbed against Yan Zhen, feeling guilty that he hadn't done anything bad.

Gu Huaiyue and Yan Zhen looked at each other, smiled, bent down and picked up the child.The kid grabbed his epaulettes: "What are you going to do?"

Gu Huaiyue kissed him on the cheek: "Go home!"
