  Jiang Yan stayed inside for a long time until Miss Rong outside left before she opened the door and came out.

  As for Miss Ruan, she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of emotion and regret.

  When she went out, Ruan Jianglin was making a phone call at the door and still holding her bag.

  He waited until he hung up the phone before pulling her into the car.

  Not long after that day, the two of them really got divorced. The joke spread in the circle for a long time, most of which were laughing at Miss Rong's appearance being deceiving and her having an unpredictable personality.

  The two were married with great fanfare at first, and now they are getting divorced just as dramatically.

  Ye Chen became decadent for half a month after the divorce, but it wasn't because of heartbreak, just because Ye's father and mother had been pressuring him.

  Miss Rong is just an object in his family arrangement.

  He married her not for love, but thought that she would turn a blind eye to his infidelity and they could just get through life together.

  Although he can't give her any absurdly devoted love, mutual respect is still okay.

  But she's a person who can't bear any grievances, and it's better to separate cleanly rather than tormenting each other.

  After being decadent for half a month, Mo Zibai said that he was like a person who had escaped from death and was reborn.

  By the end of August, it was so hot that even ginger smoke became annoying. At this time, Ruan Jianglin finally played a role.

  She wished she could stick to Ruan Jianglin every day, he had a low body temperature, like an ice cube, leaning on him could lower the temperature.

  Before September arrived, before August ended, Tang Man returned.

  She was alone, with no luggage, still wearing her military overcoat.

  This summer in Beijing came late but was very hot, with temperatures of nearly 38 degrees. Jiangyan could only stay in the air-conditioned room every day.

  But Tang Man was still wearing that thick military uniform, which was very thick and would not get hot at the foot of the snowy mountain, only cold.

  The day before she came back, she finally got her mobile phone from the class monitor and saw the message Jiang Yan had sent her several months ago.

  She was very confused at first and didn't even return Jiang Yan's calls or messages.

  She asked for annual leave overnight and just said she would definitely come back. Her annual leave was originally planned to be used this autumn.

  At that time, she was going back for Ruan Jiangjin's 30th birthday.

  He is thirty years old this year and has become an old man.

  He took her out of the mountains that year, and he was only in his early twenties at the time.

  In the past decade, his birthdays were all spent in the army, Tang Man thought, he should catch up on one of them, shouldn't he?

  The procedure for approving leave is very complicated and she may also be subject to disciplinary action.

  A soldier's duty is to obey orders, obey arrangements, and obey organization.

  She may also be expelled from the army for disobeying orders.

  But she insisted, even if she had to run back a hundred kilometers with a heavy load, she had to go back.

  Starting from the foot of Tian Shan, there was no direct flight to Kyoto that night.

  She had been transferred several times, the troops arranged for her a tinplate truck, and also the town's tricycle, the county's train, all the way to Qinghai, someone temporarily returned the ticket, she finally grabbed the same day's ticket.

  She left with ease and freedom, but returned after experiencing many hardships and dangers.

  Different minds.

  Jiang Yan thought Tang Man looked like a fool when she saw her.

  Her face still had the plateau red that hadn't faded yet.

  After leaving the expensive skincare products, she got a lot of dry skin and darkened a bit.

  Tang Man had previously claimed that she could eat five steamed buns in the army every day, saying that her appetite was astonishing. However, Jiang Yan took a closer look at her and saw that she had lost weight.

  When she walked, her neatly cut short hair seemed to have grown a bit, but it was still short.

  She should have had a haircut in the army, but the technique in the army was not good, and she was cut unevenly, with some parts shorter than others.

  Jiang Yan's words "long time no see" got stuck in her throat, and she wondered how to comfort Tang Man so that he wouldn't be so heartbroken.

  She won't comfort people.

  That summer, Tang Man came back.

  That summer, Jiang Yao became pregnant, two months, calculated from the date of marriage.

  Ruan Jiangjin was very careful and superstitious, saying that the first three months couldn't be widely announced, but as a first-time father, he couldn't help but share his excitement with his family.

  Jiang Yan found out from Ruan Jiang that he was going to become an uncle, and even asked Jiang Yan to prepare gifts for the new baby.

  Jiang Yan thought, Tang Man was such a bright and beautiful girl, she wouldn't collapse.

  But Tang Man is a child who came out of the big mountains, and in these years, no matter how well Ruan Jiangjin raised her, she still had an inferiority complex deep down.

  To Ruan Jiangjin, she is grateful.

  Because of him, she became the luckiest child in that mountain village, having the opportunity to come to Kyoto, the most prosperous city in the country, having the chance to live in a big house that others may not be able to afford in their lifetime, and having the chance to attend the best private high school. She didn't even have to worry about living expenses. Because of Ruan Jiangjin, she was able to take this step today.

  He is a benefactor, he is an elder, and he is someone Tang Man will never forget.

  She lost her parents at a young age and became an orphan. In middle school, she experienced campus violence and spent several years in an orphanage, seeing all the ups and downs of life.

  Whenever people mention the children in the orphanage, they always have a sympathetic look in their eyes. From then on, she had an indelible sense of inferiority.

  She was actually adopted by a very cultured couple, who were satisfied when they first met Tang Man.

  But just a few days later, she was sent back.

  It's like selecting a good product in a shopping mall and then returning it because you're not satisfied.

  After that, no matter how bright and lively she appeared on the surface, she always had a few more points of caution and self-abasement.

  That's what she learned in the orphanage, can't be erased.

  Jiang Yao became pregnant, and in Ruan Jiang's thirtieth year, he had the best birthday gift.

  Tang Man thought she should be happy for him. At least Tang Man had never seen Ruan Jiangjin smile so happily before.

  That night, Jiang Yan accompanied her in drinking a lot of wine, it's better to say that they were pouring the drinks down rather than just drinking.

  One bottle after another, ginger smoke couldn't stop her.

  She laughed as she drank, and then burst into tears.

  "Jiang Yan, actually I lied earlier. As soon as I went there, I cried. I wasn't strong at all. You don't know how cold and bitter it was there."

  "The rice is also not good to eat, but if I don't eat it, I'll be hungry. I couldn't finish five mantou, and the class leader only allowed me to have three."

  "Two girls staring at each other with tears in their eyes are none other than myself."

  Training was too hard, running 20 kilometers with heavy loads every day. Her skin is very tender and the UV rays there are too strong, she got sunburned directly.

  "That day I cried for a long time, I felt like I had cried out all the tears of my life. But it wasn't, you see, now I can still cry." She said with a drunken smile.

  Jiang Yan listened as she spoke sentence by sentence.
