[Pretender] Makoto Honya

Although he saved Mingtai's life, he could no longer appear as a member of the Ming family, and could only recuperate at Uncle Li's home.

"I found this from No. 76. Yu Manli's belongings. I know you want to keep it."

Mingcheng took out the only photo of Mingtai and Manli together, and handed it to Mingtai with a sigh.

Mingtai looked at the photo for a long time before accepting it with trembling hands.

His gaze fell on Manli's lively expression in the photo, and he turned around suddenly, obviously wanting to say something, but finally said, "That's a good shot".

Ah Cheng looked at his back, sighed, turned and left the room.

Mingtai held this photo and sat on the bed blankly, obviously there were so many memories between the two of them, but what he remembered over and over again now was only the first time they met outside the bathhouse of the military academy.

At that time, he didn't know her past, nor their future.It's not a life and death partner, and it's not each other's half life. She is a beautiful woman who just got out of the bath like a lotus flower, and he is an escaped young master who is ignorant of the world and pity her.

Ming Jing opened the door and came in, sat beside him, saw the photo, and asked softly.

"Who is this?"

She is my comrade in arms, my best friend, my half life...

There were countless answers in Mingtai's mind, but in the end, he just answered one sentence with great care.

"She's Yu Manli."

Mingtai choked up slightly, "She has always wanted to meet my family, and I promised her that I would introduce you to each other."

Ming Jing sighed, and took the photo from his hand, "It looks like a good boy."

"Although they have passed away, they must hope that you can live well."

Mingtai lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the photo again, only to find that there seemed to be words on the back of the photo.

He froze for a moment, took the photo, and a line of delicate lower script appeared in his eyes.

Huanjun Mingzhu tears down and hates not meeting when she is not married.

Suddenly Mingtai couldn't hold back his tears anymore, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, as if this would make him feel less sad.

If life is just like the first time you see it, how can you talk about regrets in the morning and evening?

Ming Jing looked at him, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.She understood the position of this girl in her brother's heart, but she hoped that Mingtai would never understand.

Because of the implementation of the Dead Time Plan, the Japanese army's attack on the Third War Zone was hindered, and the Japanese naturally understood that the codebook of the Third War Zone intercepted on the 76th was a fake.

Someone must be responsible for such a big mistake, Wang Manchun was the first to bear the brunt, was imprisoned, and soon pleaded guilty.

Everyone thought that the dust had settled, but they never thought that, after all, Wang Manchun stayed behind.

After hearing the news of Wang Manchun's escape from prison in the newspaper, Qiao Baizhou no longer had a smile on his face. No. 76 Wang Manchun is such a character, he naturally understands that the Ming family will suffer if they do not eradicate the roots.

Reminiscent of the relationship between his own sister and Mingcheng, even though he knew that Wang Manchun hated Mingjing and Minglou the most, he was not sure if this lunatic would shift his mind, and he dared not gamble with his sister's safety.

"Qiao Yan, book a train ticket for tonight. I'll take Ruyuan to Suzhou and bring a few more brothers."

"Yes."

Qiao Yan quickly agreed, but she was a little uncertain, "But sir, will Second Miss not want to leave?"

Qiao Baizhou snorted coldly, knowing his sister very well, if he didn't take this muddy water, would it be his sister?

"Of course she won't want to leave. You call Mingcheng and ask him to come over and persuade her to go. I will kidnap her today even if I kidnap her."

"Yes, sir!"

*****

Mingcheng was quite willing to receive the news that Qiao Baizhou planned to take Ruyuan away from the limelight temporarily.

Originally, he had nothing to worry about, he only needed to take care of his elder brother and protect his elder sister.But now that he had her, he was afraid that his omissions would hurt her.

He rushed to Qiao's house immediately and sent her away according to Qiao Baizhou's instructions.

"Ruyuan, listen to your elder brother and go to Suzhou with him."

Ruyuan stared at him without saying a word, but it didn't change his mind at all.

"You know why I want to stay."

She pursed her lips, with an uncommon stubbornness in her expression.

"Of course I do. But you should also know why I want you to leave."

There is no need to say a lot, Mingcheng understands naturally.He stepped forward and took her into his arms.

"Hey, listen to me once. As a man, I'm already sick of not being able to distract you to protect you, so don't worry me any more, okay?"

Ruyuan was silent, unwilling to let go, but silently wrapped her arms around his waist, leaning obediently in his arms.

"I don't want you to take any risks for me. I'm not afraid of paying it back. I have a lifetime to pay it back. I don't want you to be in danger, even if it's only a little bit possible."

"My eldest sister and elder brother are in danger. I will be anxious and afraid, but I will do my best to protect them. But when I think of you in danger, I will be at a loss and become a useless person."

"So I admit my weakness to you, please protect yourself well, okay?"

Ruyuan took a deep breath and raised her head, "Then you have to promise me."

Mingcheng finally smiled reassuringly, and gave her the promise he swore.

"Don't worry, I haven't married you home yet, how can I let myself have trouble?"

Ruyuan nodded, pushed him away and turned to pack her things.

Mingcheng heaved a sigh of relief, looking at her back, his eyes were full of immeasurable nostalgia.

It turned out that he would not make promises that could not be guaranteed, because in his eyes, that was the foundation of being a human being.But now, in order to make her feel at ease, he can do whatever he wants.

So what about the foundation of one's life?It's not as important as a trace of her worry in his heart.Only now did he understand that lies and love go hand in hand, all for the sake of Bojia people's smile.

*****

Wang Manchun set up a tape recorder in Mingtai's flour mill, trying to get evidence of a counterattack from Minglou's mouth, but was finally shot and killed by Minglou himself.

Seeing Wang Manchun lying on the ground, Minglou couldn't believe it at that moment.

Death was like a lamp being extinguished, and when he suddenly realized that the woman in front of him could no longer speak, what he remembered was no longer her madness that disgusted him, but their beautiful past.

He stared blankly at her dead body, her flaming red lips, no longer had the bright eyes and white teeth, but the scenes before his eyes were the only warmth he had left for her.

He seemed to have seen that autumn when the wind was waning and the moon was waning, the girl squatted on the ground crying and crying because he refused her confession.

He seemed to have seen the romance of that romantic winter, when the girl left angrily after the two quarreled, but was hugged into his arms domineeringly and kissed.

He seemed to have seen that cloudy and breezy spring, when she was confessed by another boy, he pursed his lips and sulked while she snickered sweetly beside him.

He seemed to have seen that stormy summer, she was kneeling in front of the gate of the Ming family, and he was inside the gate, making people desperate.

Mingcheng and Mingjing dragged him away from the flour mill, and he followed their steps, but his eyes were still attached to Wang Manchun.He knew that this time, he really wanted to say goodbye to his youth forever.

The most frightening thing is not to know how to cherish after losing it, but what was once cherished has changed beyond recognition.

Minglou thought that he would never be able to fall in love with a girl again.Once such a beautiful love will become hideous, now that Yin and Yang are separated, what can he expect from love?
