Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1479: Chapter 1479: Guardedness

No sooner had her words fallen than two streams of tears slowly trailed down An Hao’s face.

”Auntie, are you crying?” Xiaoguang saw An Hao crying and jumped down from the bed, walked over, gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his little hands, and then embraced her, ”Auntie, don’t cry! When you cry, it makes Xiaoguang sad.”

Seeing Xiaoguang getting upset, An Hao quickly wiped away her own tears, ”Okay. Auntie won’t cry. Auntie just wanted to come and see you. I wanted to know what it was like when he left...”

An Hao started to speak but couldn’t continue.

”Auntie, I was the first one rescued by the uncle. So, I’m not very clear. But my brother was rescued later; he should know.” Xiaoguang said, stretching out his hand to point to the little boy lying in the hospital bed, ”He’s my brother, Xiaoshuan.”

Once again, An Hao shifted her gaze to Xiaoshuan, who clearly had a trace of wariness in his eyes.

”Don’t be afraid,” An Hao slowly walked over, sat down in front of his bed, and said softly to him, ”Auntie is not a bad person! Trust me.”

Xiaoshuan widened his eyes and looked intently at An Hao for a while before he shyly said, ”Are you the wife of the PLA uncle?”

”Mm.” An Hao smiled with tears, ”Were you and Xiaoguang rescued by him? Could you tell me about what happened then? I want to know.”

”He saved me. Then he fell down...” Xiaoshuan spoke very simply.

He didn’t know An Hao, so he dared not say all the thoughts in his heart.

Before, his parents had told him that the most lovable people in the world were the PLA uncles. But that day, he really understood that not all PLA soldiers were lovable.

There were also unfriendly and unkind people among them.

”Can you tell us more details?” Gu Shuangshuang also sat down and said to Xiaoshuan, ”We mean you no harm. You just have to tell us what happened then.”

”Brother, just tell them. I feel that these two aunties are not bad people.” Xiaoguang trusted An Hao and Gu Shuangshuang.

”Do bad people have ’bad person’ written on their foreheads?” Xiaoshuan had learned to be cautious at a young age.

”Then what do we need to do for you to tell us...” An Hao inquired.

Before Xiaoshuan could answer, there was a flash of light at the entrance of the tent, and two men in white lab coats walked in.

Seeing them come in, Xiaoguang happily rushed forward, calling out, ”Uncle Yan, Uncle Ji, you are here! Today two aunties came here, saying they wanted to check on me and my brother.”

”An Hao,” Yan Ye saw the haggard An Hao at a glance, realizing she had probably suffered more sorrow and hardship these past few days than anyone else.

”Teacher Yan, Teacher Ji,” An Hao stood up, ”I just wanted to come and see... I heard that when he left, he saved these two children...”

”It’s them, no mistake. You... after you hear it, do you think you can bear it?” Yan Ye was worried about An Hao’s condition.

The reality was already cruel enough.

He actually didn’t want An Hao to know this terrifying and heartbreaking process.

”I can.” An Hao said very firmly, ”I want to know.”

She wanted to know his predicament then, wanted to know his feelings at that time, and even more, she yearned for everything about him.

”I also want to know,” Gu Shuangshuang also choked up, ”Unable to find his body, I always have to know how he left me, right?”

At this moment, the hesitant Xiaoshuan spoke, ”Uncle, Auntie, there is something I want to tell you.”
