Chapter 278 Meeting 7
The body has lost the ability to move, but the mind is more active than ever.

The moment Jiang Qiuyue put her arms around his waist, it was as if he had been struck by lightning, half of his body was numb.

Because this action is so strange, yet so familiar.

More than 20 years ago, at that time, he and Ming Lan fell in love with each other, and they always hugged and slept together every night.

At that time, Minglan's hand was wrapped around his waist like this. Sometimes when he got up at night, he would take her hand away, but once he lay back on the bed, she would unconsciously roll into his arms, and then Put your arms around his waist.

If the similarity in the back is a coincidence, then it is very unusual to be able to call him by his name.

The probability of maintaining the same sleep habits is very small.

What's more, besides Ming Lan, who else would know about the intimacy that only the husband and wife can have?
These coincidences one after another seem to have pointed to an impossible answer.

In the quiet night, Tang Zhenbang could hear his own heartbeat, so strong that his heart seemed to jump out of his throat.

He really wanted to wake up the person in his arms and ask who she was, but there was a trace of fear in his heart, forcing him to lie there quietly, not daring to act rashly.

Is it really what he guessed?

Back then, Minglan jumped from the moat and fell into the surging river, leaving only a car by the side of the road.

The professional salvage team spent half a month, but they didn't even find the body.

At that time, he didn't believe that Minglan jumped into the river at all. Even if the police withdrew later, he stubbornly hired a private search and rescue group to search along the river for a whole year, but found nothing.

At that time, he was still holding fantasies, guessing that maybe she was just hiding and didn't want to see him.

But later the salvage team found a piece of fabric from the lower reaches of the river, which was on her clothes.

After being soaked in drinking water, the cloth has become dull, and the cracks on it show that the cloth was not artificially damaged, but was torn off when it was scratched across the stone.

It wasn't until that time that he completely gave up and believed that the woman he loved all his life had really committed suicide by throwing herself into the river.

After that, he became a walking dead, and he could no longer see the hope of being alive. Living in this world has also become a mechanical activity.

But now, he felt that this machine-like body was gradually waking up—because of this strange yet familiar woman in his arms.

Ming Lan's body has never been found. At first he thought that the body might have flowed into the sea with the river.

But what if she hadn't died at all?
Maybe after she jumped into the moat, she saved her life by chance?
The water flow in the moat was extremely turbulent, and it was summer again, and it was raining heavily. The possibility of this was almost slim, even slimmer than buying a lottery ticket.

but……

What if this tiny possibility happens to be bumped into by her?

Hearing her regular heartbeat, he hoped that this guess was true.

If Minglan is still alive...

No matter what reason she chose to commit suicide, he is willing to forgive her, as long as she is still alive!

Even if she doesn't want to recognize him or their son, he won't force her.

As long as she can live well!

He stared blankly at the strange face in front of him, and tears rolled down involuntarily, rolling down the corners of his eyes and onto the pillow.

After 20 years, this time, he finally cried out.

Even 20 years ago, when he suddenly learned that she committed suicide by jumping into the river, he had never lost his composure like he is now.

But at this moment, the emotions that had been suppressed in his chest for more than 20 years suddenly burst out, and he could no longer restrain his emotions.

That night, Tang Zhenbang couldn't sleep at all.

Whenever he closed his eyes, he always felt that the person in his arms was about to disappear, and he opened his eyes in horror, until he saw her in front of him, and then he was relieved.

At this moment, he had already determined that she was Minglan.

definitely is!

His gut told him so.

That night, Jiang Qiuyue slept very soundly, maybe it was because of the effect of alcohol, maybe it was because the people around her made her feel at ease.

Over the years, she has suffered from insomnia for a long time, and her consciousness is always struggling between half-dream and half-awake.

Only this time, there was a familiar feeling beside her, which made her seem to be back when she was just married.

At that time, she and Tang Zhenbang loved each other very much, and they hugged and slept every day. When lying in his arms, she always felt extremely safe, as if nothing in the world could hurt her.

Now, that feeling is back.

very nice.

Just as she was thinking about what happened back then, she suddenly felt a tingling sensation in her earlobe—someone was touching her earlobe.

She suddenly woke up from her sleep, only to find that there was a man on the bed, and she was still lying in the man's arms.

And her so-called sleeping in each other's arms actually happened.

"what--"

With a yell in horror, she jumped up quickly, and hurriedly backed away. Unexpectedly, she stepped on the ground and fell straight back.

"Be careful."

A terrified voice sounded, followed by someone grabbing his wrist forcefully.

Jiang Qiuyue raised her head, and when her eyes touched the man's face, her pupils constricted suddenly, and she subconsciously called out, "Tang..."

However, as soon as a word came out of her throat, her rationality immediately overwhelmed her shock. She bit her lower lip tightly and swallowed all the words that followed.

With a "bang", Tang Zhenbang didn't pull her back, but fell to the ground by the force of her body.

But a second before falling to the ground, he hugged her waist and turned over vigorously. When he fell, his back was tightly pressed against the floor, and she lay on his chest, unharmed.

Jiang Qiuyue hadn't woken up from the surprise, she lay on him in a daze, looking at his familiar but unfamiliar face.

Time is so ruthless, the man in her mind is still young, but the man in front of her has fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and a few white hairs peeking out from the top of her head.

Only his eyes are still as warm as 20 years ago.

"Does it hurt from the fall?"

Tang Zhenbang didn't care about his body at all, he hurriedly pulled her up from his body, and nervously checked her body.

"You... why are you here?"

Jiang Qiuyue stared at him blankly and asked nervously.

For this man who appeared out of nowhere, she didn't have the slightest fear in her heart, on the contrary, she was so excited that she could hardly breathe.

Now that he was holding her wrist, there seemed to be a flame burning where the skin of the two touched, and it made her feel hot all over.

How did Tang Zhenbang break into the house?
Why are they lying on the same bed?
Faced with such questions, Tang Zhenbang was not nervous at all, and said calmly: "You opened the door for me, did you forget?"

"I... how could I open the door for you?" Jiang Qiuyue looked at him in surprise, unable to believe that such a thing would happen.

But when her thoughts changed, she suddenly remembered that there was indeed someone knocking on the door last night. At that time, she had already drunk too much and it was very late. She thought it was Qiutang who came to look for her, so she opened the door directly. What happened after that? But I can't remember anything.

"I can't remember." She shook her head uncomfortably, and said with a pale face, "Even if I opened the door for you, wouldn't you leave by yourself? Lying on the same bed with a drunk person, this matter If it gets out, I'm afraid it will be bad for our reputation."

Her face sank, her hands clenched into fists, and she stared firmly into his eyes.

At this moment, a nameless flame suddenly surged in her chest.

In her impression, Tang Zhenbang is a clean-cut person who always keeps a distance from the opposite sex and will never let others have unreasonable thoughts.

But she never imagined that he would knock on the door of a strange woman in the middle of the night, and climb into her bed majestically, and lie in the same bed with her for the whole night.

Not even if that person is her!
He can get up from his own bed today, who knows if he also got up from other women's beds in the past?

Obviously she had "passed away" for 20 years, but when she thought of her husband having intimate contact with other women, her scalp tingled, a flame of jealousy burned in her heart, and her face suddenly became stiff.

"Mr. Tang, you can leave now." She bit her lower lip, and unceremoniously issued the eviction order.

But my heart felt sour.

Although nothing happened between them last night, she felt uncomfortable when she thought that he might have been intimate with other women.

"I have been with you all night, and I have worked hard without credit. Instead of thanking me, you want to drive me away?"

Tang Zhenbang looked at her with a smirk, as if he was condemning her for being ruthless.

Jiang Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, never expecting such words to come out of his mouth.

The former him was most afraid of getting involved with a woman and getting into trouble, but now he is so anxious to get entangled with a woman?
She is Jiang Qiuyue now, not Minglan!
Jiang Qiuyue felt sore in her heart, and she actually became jealous of herself.

"Mr. Tang is a gentleman. He should know what kind of troubles will be caused if word spreads about staying overnight at a strange woman's house. For your own good and my own good, you'd better leave as soon as possible."

"How could it be a strange woman?" Tang Zhenbang ignored her words and asked himself, "Last night you were drunk and fell into my arms as soon as you opened the door. After sending you back to the bedroom, I originally planned to leave, but ..."

As soon as he said yes, Jiang Qiuyue's heart immediately hung in the air, and she stared at him nervously.

Tang Zhenbang said: "But, you suddenly called my name, can I still leave you alone? - But what is strange is, how do you know my name?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Qiuyue felt as if struck by lightning, her body stiffened instantly, and she couldn't even move her fingers.
