Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1613: Chapter 1615: Definite News

He said somewhat helplessly, ”Great Officer Meng, could it be that you resolve everything with your fists? Even dating Chiang Xiao, is it fists too?”

As soon as he thought of that day, the faint fragrance lingering around him, and the small bottle of water left by his side, warmth filled his heart uncontrollably.

At that time, he’d encountered one of the twisted individuals from that group—first, being outnumbered and captured, then injected with some kind of drug and stuffed behind those vines. That man wanted him to starve to death amidst hallucinations, without food or water.

Fortunately, Meng Xinian and his team fought so fiercely that they were forced to flee. Though he didn’t know back then that those people were later apprehended by Meng Xinian’s squad.

He thought he was going to die right there.

But as it turned out, he was saved by a girl.

Back then, he was teetering on the edge of life and death. He was aware of this, vaguely hearing slight sounds—judging by the voice, it belonged to a young girl—along with the faint fragrance that wafted from her. Yet, he couldn’t open his eyes to see her.

But later, he was fed water.

Oddly enough, after drinking that water, he felt his scattered thoughts gradually focusing again. When he woke up and moved his hand, he found another small bottle of water.

After drinking the water, he regained his strength.

At that time, he knew he’d already been missing for quite some time as far as his superiors were concerned, and fearing they might make erroneous decisions, he wasted no time. As soon as he had the strength, he left immediately.

If he had ventured further inside back then, perhaps he could have met Chiang Xiao in person then and there.

But even though they haven’t met until now, Chiang Xiao holds an irreplaceable place in his heart.

In his twenty-something years of life, he owes two people his life.

But being rescued by someone younger than himself—a little girl—this was definitely the first time, and it would certainly be the last.

”Don’t make any baseless guesses,” Meng Xinian said. ”If she needs half a month to return, rather than waiting for her to come back and then traveling great distances to find her, I might as well go see her first and talk to her about it later.”

Cheng Cheng replied, ”You think you won’t be traveling great distances either?”

”What do you mean? Is she in Province X?”

Meng Xinian asked this, his heart skipping slightly. Regardless of where she was or how far away, at least it was solid information.

”Yes, in Province X.”

”Can we call him or send a telegram asking him to come over?”

”No, we can’t.”

”Hmm?” Meng Xinian raised an eyebrow.

Can’t?

”That’s right, we can’t. It’s not convenient. His health is poor, so we’ll have to wait until I finish my work here, then take you all to visit him,” Cheng Cheng said, leaving no room for negotiation.

Province X—it’s a place that, even if he wanted to go now, he simply didn’t have the time.

There wasn’t enough free vacation time for that.

Besides, the competition was fast approaching, and all of their energy had to be channeled into training.

Meng Xinian said, ”In that case, after Chiang Xiao returns from her trip and the competition is over, we’ll head to Province X together.”

”That works.”

Thinking about how he’d be able to see Chiang Xiao in no more than a month, Cheng Cheng couldn’t help but feel a tinge of excitement.

After school, Qin Xiaojun and the others returned to the dormitory to find that Ye Wanqing had already showered and changed into a knitted dress and small leather shoes. Her hair, which looked freshly washed and dried, still carried a hint of dampness but appeared soft and shiny, giving off the pleasant scent of shampoo.

She was carefully grooming her eyebrows, appearing quite stunning.

”Oh? Wanqing, are you going out?”
