This was the second time in his life. The first time was when he was training by zipping while being a recruit in the army. However, at that time, there were no tents at all. It was just a bed full of soldiers sleeping on the ground in the forest.
The camping equipment these days was simply too complete. A Lan was equipped with a double tent, a double sleeping bag, and an electric light for backup. It was very convenient.
After setting up the tent, Han Yuan picked up some dry wood from the surroundings and started a bonfire. The dry branches made sizzling sounds and a few sparks popped out from time to time.
The vast valley was quiet and serene. The sounds of the mountain wind blowing through the jungle and the sounds of the insects mixed together, giving people a creepy feeling.
A'Lan snuggled close to him, holding him firmly by the arm for fear of beasts.
The only thing that made her feel wonderful was the brilliant starry sky above her head. It was as if all the stars had gathered together. There were so many bright stars, something that could not be seen in the city.
"It would be wonderful if we could bake some game!" Han Yuan laughed.
"If we don't kill them, we'll eat the rations we brought with us." "Bro, sitting here, it's like I'm back to when I was a kid —"
"Girl, is your hometown in the mountains?" Han Yuan pulled her into his arms.
Ah Lan nodded. "When I was young, I grew up at my maternal grandma's house. My maternal grandma's house is a mountain village like this. The sun rises very late every day and sets very early. At that time, my only hobby was to sit on a rock by the door and watch the sun. Every afternoon, after school, I would watch the sun slowly setting, as if my heart followed the sun down the mountain. "
"When I was seven years old, my parents took me back to school. I left the mountain village and came to the county town, but every winter summer vacation, I would return to the mountains with my grandma. At the beginning, I was not used to living in the city, not used to being with my parents. It seemed that only the mountain village was my home, and only after I had gone to high school and became nervous from my studies did I return to the village less often — "Lan reminisced absentmindedly.
"And then? "Where's Grandma?"
"Then my grandmother died, my father suddenly fell ill and died, the pillars of the family collapsed. My mother relied on the salary on Weibo to support me and my brother to go to school — —" The corner of Ah Lan's eyes moistened, "So I became especially excited. When I was in university, not only did I get a full scholarship, but I was also the president of the student union. I earned my tuition through part-time work, and at the same time, I helped my brother attend school to lighten my mother's burden —"
Han Yuan did not expect A Lan to have such a difficult life as a student. His family had encountered such misfortune, and compared to her, he was truly blessed. In her heart, she felt even more tender and affectionate towards her.
"Girl, you're a good person. From the first time I saw you, I felt that you were different from the others, and I couldn't help but fall for you in my heart!" Han Yuan kissed A Lan and said emotionally, "But I didn't expect your experiences to be so complicated — then why did you come to Hai Zhou?"
"Hehe –" Ah Lan blinked, forcing the moisture from his eyes. "Because I loved a man from Hai Zhou. I came here for love, but I didn't expect to be abandoned by love –"
"He was a classmate of mine in university, and his family background was very good. In his third year of university, he started to crazily chase after me. At the time, I felt that he was an aggressive person, that he was doing well in every way, not like a popinjay, so I slowly accepted him — later on he accompanied me to work part-time, he stayed with me during my most difficult times — and I felt that he was someone I could entrust my life to. When he graduated, his family insisted that he return to Haizhou, and they were against him marrying me. He had a falling out with his family because of me, and his parents had to compromise when he followed me to Hunan. My mother did not agree at first. She knew that it was not good to be a wife of a Haizhou citizen. However, my own heart has already been made up. If it's not him, I won't marry — "
"Then why separate?"
"When I was pregnant, he had other women outside —" Lan bit her lip and looked into the distance. "I never wanted to believe it, but one night when he wasn't home by midnight, I called him. He said he was driving, then he put the phone down. I sat alone at the head of the bed, holding my cell phone sadly and helplessly, and didn't hang up immediately. He didn't hang up either, and then I heard a woman's voice on the phone, and then a conversation between the two of them — I almost broke down, and I wanted to rush out and find him. I yelled into the phone, Where is he? "Soon, his cell phone hung up."
"At two o'clock in the morning he came back, drank, looked at me with his red eyes, and asked me why I was eavesdropping on his phone calls! I only asked him one question. Who was that woman? He denied it and slapped me right in the face. "At this point, A-Lan couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and the pain and grievance in her heart flared up again." I was eight months pregnant and was about to give birth, but he hit me — late at night, I was driving alone and wandering the streets. At that moment, I didn't know where I was going. I didn't know who I could talk to in Hai Zhou. I didn't dare to call my mother … In such a big city, I feel so lonely and helpless. Around 3 in the morning, I parked my car by the side of the road and leaned on the steering wheel as I wailed … "
Han Yuan hugged A Lan tightly. He never thought A Lan would marry such a bastard. He really wanted to beat that grandson to death.
"When he woke up the next day, he apologized and said he'd had too much to drink last night — that's what he always said after he was drunk. At first, I wanted to endure. For the sake of the child, I thought I should endure, as long as he didn't offend me again. I didn't expect him to get worse, to come home later and later, to hit me harder and harder. When the child was a year old, I couldn't stand it any longer and asked for a divorce. The only condition of their family is to have children, or I won't be able to leave. He gave me a recompense for the child's right of upbringing. "Originally, I wanted to leave this place, but I couldn't bear to part with my son. In order to see my son more often, I chose to stay in Hai Zhou and quit my job.
"Why was the child sent abroad?" Han Yuan asked, puzzled.
"Alas —" A'Lan let out a long sigh. "He soon remarried and gave birth to a child. The women who came after him would not care for the child, and he would not take care of the child himself. Once, two people went out together with their child and my son, and they actually lost my son! Fortunately, they found it later. I then used the matter to sue the court for custody of my son, who eventually supported my request and returned to me. However, his parents refused to do it again. They often wanted to take the child away, but since he came to harass me every day, I had no choice but to send my son out of the country and let him grow up in a peaceful and pure environment. "The child was at my aunt's house, and everyone loved him and treated him like their own. I flew over to watch him twice a year, and I used to video surf the internet with him —"
Listening to A Lan talk about so much of the past, Han Yuan could not help but sigh with emotion. Every family had their own problems, and everyone was living a difficult life.
Who would have thought that such a powerful woman like A-Lan would have such an unfortunate experience? Furthermore, she had been self-reliant since college, and she even needed to take care of her younger brother. It wasn't easy at all.
"Girl, this is all over. In the future, your life will be filled with happiness — —" Han Yuan embraced her and said, "I will make you happy. I won't allow anyone to hurt you again — —"
Ah Lan nodded with tears in his eyes and looked at him affectionately. "Brother, why did you divorce?" "I don't want you to do this because of me. If so, I will be a sinner for all eternity. I will never be able to forgive myself."
"I'm not like you." Han Yuan said, "Before I met you, I've never had a woman outside, but she likes to get jealous, likes to guess, likes the cold war, doesn't pay attention to me for a few months, and is also making a ruckus in my office to control the children not being with me. I couldn't stand it any longer, so I filed for a divorce —"
"Is she proud?" Ah Lan asked.
"Yes, how did you know?" Han Yuan looked at A Lan in shock. "It's not like you've ever seen her before."
"Hehe, I've seen you before. You forgot, we met in the hospital when your mother was hospitalized —" Ah Lan laughed.
Actually, the first time she saw the wedding photo at his bedside, she could tell that Han Yuan's wife was an extremely arrogant woman.
"Oh, yes, I forgot! "It's only a single aspect, yet you are able to tell that you are truly incredible!" Han Yuan laughed. "Back then, I chose her for her high education. I didn't expect her character to be so domineering —"
"Because her condition is too good, she has the right to be proud." Ah Lan laughed. "She is also very beautiful."
"Yes, I won't deny that there were many people chasing her back then. I worked hard to get my hands on her, but I didn't expect this to be the result —" Han Yuan sighed.
"Sigh, it's such a pity that she doesn't cherish you." "Why do people always turn a blind eye to their own treasures?"
"Yeah, your previous him did not know how to cherish you, so this is fate!" How else could we be together? " Han Yuan gave a wry smile. "Let's thank them for not cherishing us. That's why we have today's happiness. It's because they helped us."
"Yeah, bro, I really have to thank him for saying that." "We must cherish each other well, and live happily every day of our lives."
"Of course —" Han Yuan kissed A Lan's forehead. "The day I regain my freedom, I will definitely declare to the whole world: I love you! I want to marry you, I want to give us a special wedding, I want to be with you for the rest of my life! "
"Bro —" Lan Lan's tears fell again. Han Yuan's words moved her heart. Regardless of whether or not she could wait until this day, in her heart, she was still grateful to Han Yuan for giving her such a pure and beautiful love.
"My wife, it's getting late, we should enter the bridal chamber —" Han Yuan kissed her.
Lan smiled shyly and nodded.
The two of them went into the tent while hugging each other.
