TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 234: Confession

The cleaning lady did not expect to receive a negative answer. “You really don't know him?”

Mu Jingzhe shook his head strongly. Who is this guy? He doesn't know her. He must have made a mistake. Mu Jingzhe turned around and left, his expression still a little confused.

His slow-spinning brain dug up memories of the movie released in the village a few days ago. Upon closer inspection, he realized that Shao Qihai's cry was identical to what he heard that night.

Therefore, the binoculars really belonged to Shao Qihai, and the person he met that night was also Shao Qihai…

After Mu Jingzhe left, the cleaning lady scratched her head and hesitated, unsure if she should come forward and comfort Shao Qihai. This was not a girl, and she did not know how to comfort him.

When Mu Jingzhe returned to the ward, the five children were already calm. “Mother, where is Dad? Didn't you find it? Let's find him together.”

Mu Jingzhe regained his senses and quickly stopped him. "unneeded. Found her. He will be back in a minute.”

Judging from the way Shao Qihai escaped, he probably did not want the children to see him cry. After Mu Jingzhe sat down again, he could not help but slap his thigh. No wonder she had taught the children to shed blood and sweat but never cried before. It was because he could not bear to see them cry!

That's right, Mu Jingzhe had already roughly guessed what was going on. She has seen several cases of tear incontinence. Some people cry uncontrollably when they are restless, while others cannot help crying when they see others crying.

Mu Jingzhe was lucky enough to meet a male colleague with such a condition. She can cry while doing excessive things, such as hitting someone or talking rudely while crying.

Shao Qihai was probably the latter type, which was why he refused to watch Little Bei's movie with her at first. In the end, he did not refuse to secretly pick up binoculars to watch it. She cried like a dog and was even found by him.

Then, when Shao Dong cried yesterday, Shao Qihai's face was already covered in tears. Everyone thought it was because of the pain, but now, it didn't seem like that was the case.

If this day is added to the mix, there is convincing evidence.

Mu Jingzhe clicked his tongue with a strange expression. He had no idea how he had survived before and how many people knew his secret.

Come to think of it, many people in this society would cry. It was the same even in the places where he used to live, where there were only men. Those who go to the army to train will cry when they miss home and things get tough, and then when they retire from the army, they will cry like dogs. How could Shao Qihai survive?

When he imagined Shao Qihai hiding under a blanket in the bathroom or hiding in various quiet corners, crying like a dog, and fainting from crying too hard while hugging his retired colleague, he's feeling ticklish.

So, was he the famous whiny of their army? Does everyone know that he is so clumsy?

When thinking of a cool person like the real Shao Qihai being a little crybaby, Mu Jingzhe felt amused. The song that left the deepest impression in his mind flashed through his mind.

“Daun-leaf drifting carried by the cold wind. The army is a green flower. Dude, don't think about the house. Don't think of your mother..”.

This song is really catchy. He did not know how to sing the last part, but anyone could sing the first part. Therefore, Mu Jingzhe would inevitably sing it.

"Mom, what song is this?" Little Bei's eyes sparkled as he listened carefully.

"Just a song your father used to sing." Mu Jingzhe was proud. This time, he did not sing it wrong. The song has never been adapted before. "You've never heard of it before?"

Little Bei and the others shook their heads. Only then did Mu Jingzhe realize there was a problem. When did this song officially come out? Is it available now?

Shao Qihai, who had been chased away by the cleaning lady and finally managed to calm down, was speechless.

She covered her eyes at the door and almost cried after hearing Mu Jingzhe's song.

This was because he remembered those unforgettable moments. Many times, life in the army was difficult and boring, but one would also gain valuable comrades-in-arms.

Unlike what Mu Jingzhe had imagined, Shao Qihai hid it very well. No one knows about the problem. Everyone knew that he did not like people crying, so they would hold themselves in front of him.

When he trained new members, his first rule was that they should not cry. If they cry, they will be punished and expelled. The effect is still good.

However, there was also a time when he lost control. That was when his best friend retired from the army. Fortunately, it was raining that day and others did not know if the raindrops were tears. Although he rarely cried openly, that day, he was so distressed that he cried in the rain while training his men to fight.

It wasn't easy for him to get through. He did not expect that in just a short time after returning home, he would continue to fail. She had taught her children to shed blood and sweat but never to cry, and she had failed.

Shao Qihai returned with a complicated feeling and did not notice Mu Jingzhe's awkward and excited gaze. However, he saw that he was looking into her eyes, and it occurred to him that his eyes might be slightly red. Afraid she would find out, she did not dare to look him in the eye.

But the kids don't realize it. They only wished Shao Qihai could tell them what had happened before. There were some things that could not be said, but he should be able to tell them what kind of injury he suffered.

They were depressed from not knowing anything about Shao Qihai. Shao Qihai thought about the doctor's words, then looked at the five children and finally said what he could.

Based on this, Mu Jingzhe knew that he had met her several times before. “So, you are that old pervert...my savior.”.

Shao Qihai was extremely embarrassed upon hearing that. “Actually, it is also because of me that you are facing such a situation. You were involved by me many times, including when you and Little Bei found fire.

In the end, Shao Qihai still confessed. “I tried my best to stop them from affecting you, but I don't expect you to still be involved. I'm so sorry."

Mu Jingzhe did not expect Shao Qihai to be the reason behind all this. It is a lie to say that he is not angry. However, Shao Qihai did not intend for any of this to happen. Then, he also said that he was secretly protecting them.

At this point, the knot in the children's hearts is finally removed. It turned out that Shao Qihai had deliberately faked his death because it was too dangerous.

Mu Jingzhe did not expect something like this, which only happened in TV dramas and movies, to happen to him. "Now that you mention it, I'm really lucky ..."

However, Shao Dong thought of another matter. "Dad, what if you actually die in the process and can't go back?"

Shao Qihai froze before he smiled and said, “I am not dead and did come back. Don't think about what-if. They don't exist.”.

“No, I want to know. If you really die, will we know? Or do we always think that you intentionally left us?” Rarely was Shao Dong stubborn.

Shao Qihai looked into Shao Dong's eyes and could not lie. “You must have known. Even if you don't know now, you may know in the future. It will be fine as long as you know it and forgive me in time.”

Seeing that the expressions of the five children were not true, Shao Qihai quickly said, "My situation is actually much better.. Compared to a truly nameless hero, this is nothing."
