198 Childhood Sweethearts
He Wei finally managed to bring the man in the photo out of the ravine before the sky turned dark. She looked at his unkempt clothing in disgust and could not help but roll her eyes. “Do you remember what I taught you?”
“I’ll remember.” The man lowered his head timidly, his fingers fiddling with the hem of his clothes uneasily. Suddenly, he looked up and asked uneasily, “Will He Miao really be willing to see me?”
“If she doesn’t want to see you, won’t that just confirm her bad reputation of being fickle in love with the new and disliking the old?” He Wei sneered and said indifferently.
“What do you mean by ‘love the new and hate the old’?” The man was not well-educated. He only knew how to farm in the mountains every day, so he was always dirty. This time, in order to see He Miao, he had specially changed into his best clothes, but when he entered the city, he realized that he still looked so out of place.
“It’s fine if you don’t understand.” He Wei could not be bothered to talk to him anymore. She drove to the location of He Miao’s house that she had found out earlier and happened to see He Miao walking out of the neighborhood. She raised her hand and pushed the man beside her. “Do you see that person? She’s He Miao!”
The man looked in the direction of her finger and realized that she was talking about a fair-skinned and beautiful woman. He shook his head and denied, “That’s not it. He Miao doesn’t look like that.”
“That’s the He Miao now. Aren’t you childhood sweethearts with her? Take a closer look!”
He Wei was so agitated just now that she subconsciously pushed the man beside her. At this moment, she picked up a tissue to wipe her hands in disgust. Seeing that he still could not believe it, she immediately said impatiently, “If you don’t believe me, you can get out of the car and take a look for yourself. Remember not to reveal that I brought you here, or you’ll never see her again.”
The man nodded in a daze. He carefully avoided the passing cars and rushed in front of He Miao. He was shocked to see a shadow of his past on her face. He grabbed her shoulder in surprise and shook her. “You’re Miaomiao! You’re really Miaomiao! Miaomiao, I missed you so much!”
He Miao frowned and pushed his hand away. She looked at the man in confusion, who she had never seen before, and asked with feigned concern, “How did you get here?”
“It was a woman.” The man was about to say it was He Wei, but he suddenly remembered the warning she had given him before she got out of the car. He swallowed the explanation he was about to give. “I really missed you. Ever since you were taken away by your family, I thought I would never see you again.”
He Miao nodded in understanding. So it was an acquaintance of the original body in the countryside.
She smiled brightly and did not look down on him because of his simple clothes. Instead, she asked carefully, “Then how did you know I was here? Do you have a place to stay?”
The man was like a forgotten puppy, shaking his head in disappointment. “I just came to try my luck. I didn’t expect to really find you. I haven’t found a place to stay yet.”
“Do you have money on you?” Although He Miao had no relationship with him, he was an acquaintance of the original owner of the body, and he had come to see her. She could not just leave him be.
The man nodded firmly this time. “I have money. I don’t need your money. I’m already very happy to see you again.”
He Miao smiled slightly and searched her mind for the man’s possible identity from the corners of the plot. She called out tentatively, “Brother Feng?”
“Yes!” The man nodded his head heavily and smiled sweetly at her.
This time, He Miao was finally sure that the person standing in front of her was Li Feng, her childhood friend who had grown up with the original body in the countryside.
This person was not bad and had always taken good care of the original owner. However, she was surprised that he, who had grown up in the mountains, could actually find her from thousands of miles away.
Her intuition told him that he did not come alone.
She looked around quietly and saw a familiar car from the corner of her eye. She pointed in the direction of the hotel nearby and said, “You can stay there for now. I still have things to do, so I’ll be leaving first.”
“You can continue with your work.” Li Feng nodded happily and watched her walk into the supermarket. He then walked back to the car nervously. “Who are you to Miaomiao? Why don’t you come with me to see Miaomiao? And you won’t let me tell her?”
“I’m her older sister.” He Wei was surprised that this idiot could be smart. Afraid that he would betray her to He Miao, she lied to him. “I want to give her a surprise and make her happy, so you can’t tell her about me in advance, understand?”
“So it’s like this!” Li Feng was relieved. He had seen He Miao just now, and he could tell that she was far happier now than when she was abandoned by her family in the mountains. He could finally rest assured.
Thinking of He Miao’s current change, Li Feng could not help but take out a precious photo from the inner lining of his cotton jacket. He held it in his hand and caressed her smiling face repeatedly. Even though she was not as pretty back then as she was now, she had always been the most beautiful girl in Li Feng’s heart.
“Can I take a look?” When He Wei saw that he was finally willing to take out the photo, she immediately suggested excitedly, “I want to see what my sister looked like when she was young.”
Li Feng was very happy to share these photos with others and handed them to He Wei without a second thought.
