The world is so wild, I want to go to Kang Kang

Chapter 20 Princess of the Republic of China (19)

Since Japan supported Manchuria in the north, its influence has been moving southward with unstoppable force.

The situation has been unpredictable over the past four years. Today we are fighting, tomorrow we will fall. Now, Shanghai is also in a precarious situation.

Before the coming of the time, under the pressure of united resistance against the Japanese, the two factions in China temporarily reached a cooperation and joined hands to resist the enemy. Therefore, most of the country's military forces were gathered in Shanghai at this time.

In this tense atmosphere, Shi Yue and his team finally met Jing Que. After discussing and confirming a new way of contact, Jing Que reminded them before leaving that they should leave Shanghai as soon as possible to avoid being trapped there after the war.

The two were not optimistic about the situation here and decided to leave Shanghai after a week.

Say goodbye to the sparrow and return to Shengping Hotel.

As soon as I reached the third floor, I saw someone standing at the door of their room.

"President Zhou." Yu Sheng stepped forward to greet him. No matter what, what Zhou Yubai had done in recent years was worthy of everyone's praise, and he was of course no exception.

"Mr. Yu, can I talk to Yue'er alone?" It is his usual style to get straight to the point and not waste words.

Yu Sheng looked at her with questioning eyes.

She nodded and was about to leave, so it was good to say goodbye.

Yu Sheng entered the room first.

She turned to look at him and said, "Why, are you chatting here?" The corridor was crowded with people coming and going, so it was not a good place to talk.

Seeing that she was still willing to talk to him, Zhou Yubai felt relieved, "Of course not, let's go sit in the cafe downstairs."

After sitting down, Shi Yue looked at Zhou Yubai carefully. He had changed a lot in the past few years and even had white hair on his temples.

"Zhou Yubai, you are old."

He could feel Shi Yue's gaze, and he also knew how he had changed. After four years of mental journey, no one could become younger. But when he heard her say that, he still felt a little concerned. There was already a big age difference, and now the gap was even more obvious.

With a wry smile, he asked sincerely, "Have you gotten older, uglier, or don't like me anymore?"

Shi Yue snorted coldly, "I didn't like it that much anyway."

Zhou Yubai felt very comfortable after hearing this, and was willing to argue with him, "You are still beautiful, dazzling, and charming."

"No, I'm naturally beautiful." She was still very happy with his compliment. "Look carefully, you're not that bad, just a little more white hair."

"Time is merciless," he picked up the hot coffee, took a sip, and the bitter aroma spread in his mouth, "These years, I have been running all over the world, never daring to stop for a moment." As if he could not bear the pain in his memories, he paused before speaking again.

"Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I see you covered in blood. I can never see your face clearly, and my voice is always heartbreaking."

He exhaled, as if to drive away all these bad memories.

"Why don't you take a good rest, go to a place where there is no one, don't think about anything, don't do anything, and you will soon be able to find peace." She was tired just listening to it, not to mention that he was like this day and night.

"Calm? How dare I?" He looked at her with eyes that were like a whirlpool, with love that encompassed everything but he never dared to reveal it. "You jumped so decisively, and the explosion was so tragic. When I closed my eyes, I could see the deep sea that swallowed everything. My ears were filled with endless explosions, and sometimes, sometimes, there were children crying."

He thought of the child he had never met, or even said goodbye to, and tightened his grip on hers. "If I didn't protect you, how can I live a good life?"

When she heard this, an unnatural look flashed in her eyes. She wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

"We just endured it day by day, fighting against the Japanese like crazy, without a single day of peace."

"That day, when we met in the hotel, I really thought I was dreaming."

"So, it was a little irrational, and I apologize to you."

Shi Yue didn't care about this. She seemed to be very tolerant of the man in front of her, from beginning to end.

She was just angry that he almost affected her business, but fortunately Yu Sheng saved it.

"It's okay, don't take it to heart, I almost forgot about it..." She has always been able to let go of things like this, and she doesn't bother to play the role of a victim.

"Forgot?" He interrupted her. "You forgot, but I remember it deeply. It was the first time in four years that I felt that being alive was good."

"Zhou Yubai, you know that we are not in a relationship where we can do whatever we want. Let alone other things, I don't even have the face to see Madam Zhou..."

"I'm divorced from her."

"Ah, why?" She was unhappy. "Mrs. Zhou is innocent. She worked diligently and conscientiously to give birth to your children and support the family for most of her life. Why do you think so?"

"At that time, you left. I was like a lost soul. Anyone who saw it would know that something was wrong. She came to me, but I didn't tell her because I was worried about you. But she said that she knew about our affairs. She was not stupid, and I didn't hide it from her. She actually knew everything."

"Later, she offered to leave, but I didn't try to persuade her to stay because I didn't know how long I could hold on."

Shi Yue folded his hands across his chest, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke, "These four years may have been a period of obsession for you. But for me, it was a new life."

"I have a new name, a new identity, and a new life, all of which I love and cherish."

She hoped that he could understand what she said.

"Besides, the current situation is unstable, and there are wars everywhere. The person you meet today may be gone forever tomorrow. There is no need to dwell on it."

Zhou Yubai said nothing. Shi Yue was about to say something, but he spoke up, "Are you leaving Shanghai?"

"Yeah, in a week."

"During this period of time, why don't you set off immediately? Do you have a mission?" He already knew her current identity and did not hide it.

With this reminder, she remembered that she had something else to deal with, which was somewhat related to him.

"Well, speaking of this, why did Brother Yuan come to Shanghai? He is a weapons manufacturer. What is he doing in the front line?"

He thought of his eldest son who was also here. "Do a field study to test the practicality. Why, is your mission related to him?"

Shi Yue did not hide it from him, "Yes, escort the experts back to Beijing safely."

He nodded, "This isn't peaceful, it's better if you leave as soon as possible."

She noticed his special wording, "you guys"?

"Why, you're not going back? The fundraiser is over."

"There are still many things to be coordinated later, so I have to show up." Yes, his current identity is the best social business card, and with him around, things will go smoothly.

"Yuer," he explained the rest of the schedule, thinking of the rare time they sat together in such peace, "I'll go back as soon as things here are over," he chose his words carefully, knowing that she didn't want him to disturb her current life, "Can I come to see you, just like now, and chat casually."

This was an offer she couldn't refuse. "Of course," she thought of the man at home and smiled maliciously. "I'll give you a surprise when the time comes."

Zhou Yubai was flattered. Just being able to see her was enough. He had no other extravagant hopes.

"it is good!"

He heard himself say "OK".

Just like a dream.
