Chapter 2.
Greetings should still be exchanged. She smiled with a raised corner of her mouth and stretched out her leg to kick Liang Yuanze with her toe. "Hey? Yuanze, when should we go to the hospital for a physical examination? They say that the man should also get checked for both parties to be in good condition for the baby to be healthy!"
He Yan smiled and lightly kicked him, "Go away, if you don't go to the hospital, I won't go either!"
He Yan remained silent, only shrinking her body, looking at him with a frightened and guarded expression.
He never lied to her. As expected, things gradually improved day by day. Every time he came to see her, he could bring good news. On the fifteenth day, he came back and told her: "The one who ran away, named 'Jie Ge', has been caught. They are all notorious fugitives with blood on their hands. They deserve to be executed a thousand times over. You're safe, Yan Yan, you won't have any problems."
Fu Shenxing smiled faintly, without asking about the misunderstanding, and simply said, "Teacher He, Yu Jia has been on sick leave due to health reasons before. Her family discussed and decided to take a year off from school for her to seek medical treatment abroad. Her family is from out of town and her parents are unable to come, so they entrusted me to come and handle the procedures for her leave of absence."
Liang Yuanze arrived very quickly, even faster than the police. He carried He Yan out of the car and wrapped her in his own suit jacket, carefully carrying her to his car. He Yan was trembling all the time, and Liang Yuanze could only hold her tightly, comforting her by whispering in her ear, "It's okay, Yan Yan, it's okay. I'm here. The police will be here soon. When they come, I'll take you to the hospital."
She kept moving her body backwards and shouted in terror, "Don't come over, don't come over! There are many people here, they will come over immediately!"
He Yan seemed to have encountered a fierce ghost, with the words "help me" stuck in her throat, unable to shout out, only staring fearfully at the man in front of her, retreating in panic. In the chaos, the heel of her high heels got stuck in the gap of the floor tiles, causing her to lose balance and fall heavily to the ground.
He Yan breathed a sigh of relief, stabilized her emotions, returned the ID card, and apologetically said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fu. It's my fault that may have caused a misunderstanding. I'm very sorry."
The bright sun was shining high in the sky, but He Yan's whole body felt as if it had just come out of an ice cave, shivering with cold. She was still sitting on the ground, her skirt covered in dust, her scraped palms throbbing faintly, but He Yan paid no attention to these. She shakily took out her phone from her handbag and dialed Liang Yuanze's number.
Liang Yuanze let out a gentle laughter and teased her, "Quickly wipe your face, be careful of students laughing at you. It's so hot, are you feeling a bit heatstroke and mistaking someone for another?"
Liang Yuanze still held her tightly and told her in a slow and firm voice: "Don't worry, he can never come out to hurt you again. He will be sentenced to death, and the lawyer said he will definitely not escape the death penalty. Don't be afraid, Yanyan, I will always be with you. After this matter is settled, we will get married, buy a big house, have two children, and raise a dog and a cat to keep our home lively!"
He Yan did not answer. She really picked up the ID card on the table, while keeping a wary eye on the man, she lowered her head to carefully examine the ID card: Name: Fu Shenxing, Male, 28 years old, Address: written as Nan Zhao local, the man in the photo looks very young, like he is just over twenty years old, with neatly trimmed short hair, handsome face, and a gentle temperament.
He Yan's gaze fell into emptiness, staring blankly, and a little bit of the scene he described to her appeared before her eyes.
OK! OK! I'll leave right away.The man comforted her in a soft voice, looked at his watch, and pointed to his car, adding, "Miss, I'll probably be back to drive in half an hour."
He Yan instinctively shrank back. He understood and stopped halfway, leaning over to place his ID card on the table between them. Then he reached out to her, gesturing, "You can check it."
In my mind, there are two voices fiercely arguing. One voice is screaming madly, "It's him, that criminal! They have the same voice and the exact same face!"
The man, however, leaned against the car door and looked at her, calmly asking, "Miss, may I ask if the office of the Foreign Language Institute is in this building?"
He nodded slightly to her as a gesture, politely and courteously greeted, "Hello, Teacher He."
The boy hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and asked, "Can you still walk? Do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?"
Her colleagues did not notice anything unusual about He Yan, and simply introduced the situation to her: "This is a classmate's brother who came to handle his sister's leave of absence procedures."
Another rational voice is telling her, "He Yan, please calm down. The culprit has already been executed, and this has been confirmed by Yuan Ze. A dead person cannot come back to life. This is another person, someone unrelated. He just happens to look like the culprit."
The city of Nanzhao is surrounded by mountains and water, and has long been known for its beautiful scenery. He Yan's parents had never intended to leave their hometown again in their old age, but they truly loved the environment here. In addition, He Yan settled here with her husband, so they gritted their teeth and sold their old house, moving with their daughter to Nanzhao.
His voice is very distinctive, deep and pleasant, yet it carries an indescribable coolness. It should be extremely comfortable to listen to in the summer, but when it reached He Yan's ears, it startled her. That short and distant nightmare, which had almost faded from her memory, seemed to reappear in an instant.
She was first stunned, then burst into tears, and the invisible fear that had been weighing on her heart finally found a way to vent. "I'm scared, Yuanze, I'm really scared. I'm afraid that person will come back for revenge. You didn't see the look in his eyes, he will definitely kill me."
It is unclear whether it was the steady voice of her husband that comforted her or if it was the intense summer sunlight that gradually drove away the coldness from her body. He Yan gradually calmed down and replied, "I am at school, right behind the administrative building."
The man took off his sunglasses and walked towards her, asking, "Miss, are you okay?"
Is there anyone around? Liáng Yuǎnzé asked again.
She smiled awkwardly and tried to stand up by herself.
A student has come over," she replied.
Don't be afraid, Yanyan. Time will heal everything. Slowly, you will forget that nightmare," Liang Yuanze said softly.
He Yan's heels are not high, and she didn't twist her ankle badly. She stood there, moved her ankle a bit, and tried to step on the ground. Although it was a bit painful, it was not a big deal. She waved her hand, declined the help of the male student, and slowly walked into the office building. Just as she entered the office, a colleague called her: "Teacher He, you've come at the right time. A student's parent is looking for you."
They have been married for two years and after spending their honeymoon period wanting to stick together all day long, they are now preparing to have a baby.
The man smiled lightly, feeling somewhat helpless. "Teacher He, I'm not a tiger, I don't eat people. I am Yu Jia's cousin, my name is Fu Shenxing. Look, this is my ID card," he said, and actually took out his ID card from his wallet and walked towards He Yan, wanting to hand it to her to see.
Liang Yuanze held her tightly and firmly told her, "It's just a nightmare, it will soon pass."
He's here! He's here!She was like a startled bird, only repeating the same sentence.
Under the moonlight, the man's sharp gaze swept across her face, his expression indifferent. He said, "Be clean, don't leave any trouble."
Four years later, Nan Zhao City.
She carefully looked at the back, where the issuance date of the ID card was marked. Calculating, it happened to be the photo taken when he was twenty years old.
She looked up and saw the man leaning against the window with his hands in his pockets. When he turned to look towards the door, his gaze fell on her. Her first instinct was to flee, but her body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move as if she were prey being stalked by a natural enemy.
The policewoman was very understanding. She immediately called someone to take He Yan to the hospital and allowed Liang Yuanze to accompany her. He Yan gradually calmed down, but her voice was very hoarse. She was a bit neurotic and kept telling Liang Yuanze, "Don't let my parents know, don't let them know."
He said, step by step, slowly retreated, and then kindly leaned forward, asking her, "Are you okay by yourself? Do you need me to call someone else over?"
Liang Yuanze has always been obedient to her. In just two days, he followed her to the hospital for a check-up. The couple's health was good, and the doctor only prescribed some prenatal vitamins for He Yan. After leaving the hospital around noon, they had a simple lunch outside. Liang Yuanze went directly to the company, while He Yan took a leisurely drive back to school after shopping at the mall.
However, she is not interested in it. She deeply loves Liang Yuanze and has reached the point where she ignores other men. They are mostly indistinct in her eyes, and their appearance is irrelevant.
