Chapter 731 Let Time Teach Me to Forget

What? Did the soldiers in the barracks come to compete as well? Rong Jin, who was beside her, had already seen these people in the team before Hua Lei.

Of course, he also saw someone he didn't want to see. However, the other person's eyes were already fixed on this side.

Looking at Hua Lei on the side, Rong Jin knew that Hua Lei had also seen it. It seemed that there was no way to avoid it today, so he spoke directly.

"Sister Hua, there are soldiers from the Western Frontier Army Camp coming to participate in the competition. Brother Yunhe is here too. Do you want to go over and greet him?"

"Mr. Bai? He's here too? Where is he?" Hua Lei, who had been staring at a few people in military uniforms in the team, looked at the dark crowd opposite and did not see Bai Yunhe, so she turned around and asked Rong Jin.

"He's coming from the southeast." Rong Jin replied softly.

Hua Lei looked in the direction Rong Jin said, and sure enough, Bai Yunhe, dressed in a moon-white robe, was walking slowly towards her through the surging crowd.

In front of him, there were two guards helping him clear the way. It turned out that they were not wearing military uniforms, no wonder he didn't see them.

Hua Lei pulled Rong Jin's hand and said, "Since we've met, let's go over. Let's treat Master Bai to a meal today."

"Then let me ask Qingzao to book a private room at Guangweilou?" Rong Jin said.

"It's definitely impossible to make a reservation now. When we passed by just now, the place was already packed. Let's just hold the reception here at the government office and let Sister Hehua cook. Sister Hehua is a good cook." Hua Lei thought for a moment and said.

Originally, they could have been entertained in the government office's dining hall, but these past few days, due to the competition, there was a shortage of manpower and many people went to help, so the government office's dining hall was not open.

Looking at Hua Lei who looked calm, Rong Jin closed his mouth resignedly. What Sister Hua said was indeed true. In the past few days, it was impossible to have a vacant private room in the restaurant or inn in the city without making a reservation three days in advance.

However, Rong Jin felt that it was a bit too intimate to invite Bai Yunhe to his residence in the government office. However, the dining hall of the government office was not open either, so there was really no other way.

As they were talking, Bai Yunhe was only five or six feet away from the two of them. Hua Lei paused slightly and let Rong Jin walk in front of her.

"Brother Yunhe." Rong Jin stepped forward, bowed slightly, and saluted.

"Brother Rong Jin, Master Hua... Madam Pei." Bai Yunhe paused and changed his words in return. Because they were outside and surrounded by common people, both of them changed their titles.

"Mr. Bai, what a coincidence, I meet you here. Are you here to join in the fun too?" Hua Lei stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

"Yes, it's my turn to take a day off, so I came here with a few comrades." Bai Yunhe raised his eyes to glance at Hua Lei, turned his head, looked at a few comrades who were throwing mud cannons in the distance, and answered.

"Brother Yunhe, it's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. It's almost lunchtime, let's go to the government office for a simple meal." Rong Jin invited Bai Yunhe.

“.........No, we..........”

"Mr. Bai, you're welcome. Last time we went to the military camp and bothered General Bai. This time, let my husband and I treat you to a simple meal. We can't book a private room in the restaurants outside." Hua Lei also invited.

Bai Yunhe glanced at Rong Jin beside him, then looked at Hua Lei, and pursed his lips.

"Some of your comrades are here, let's go together?" Rong Jin also said with a smile.

"No, Xiaoshan's home is on North Street. We agreed to have lunch at his home at noon, and we'll go there after the game." Bai Yunhe refused.

Just one look is a luxury, and it is enough.

Looking at the two children held by the guards behind Hua Lei, their faces showed the outline of their father and the shadow of their mother. Bai Yunhe felt a slight pain in his heart.

He took out two purses from his arms and handed them to Jinnian on the left first, saying with a smile, "Is this Jinnian? You've grown up so much now? Buy some candy for Jinnian." As he spoke, he stuffed the purse into Jinnian's hand.

He then stuffed another purse to Jinshi on his right and chuckled, "This is for Jinshi to buy candy. Take it."

"Brother Yunhe, why spend so much money?" Seeing that the two children were holding identical new purses, which had obviously been prepared long ago, Rong Jin politely refused.

"The first time I saw you, I bought candy for the child." Bai Yunhe chuckled.

"Mr. Bai, you are too polite. I can't do this." Hua Lei also refused.

"You're welcome. The shop made a lot of money this year, all from you." Bai Yunhe smiled slightly and bowed to Rong Jin Hualei.

"Xiaoshan's competition is over. I'm going over first. See you later." As he said this, before Rong Jin Hualei could say anything else, Bai Yunhe had already walked into the crowd.

"This........." Hualei didn't know how to start for a moment. Rong Jin looked at Bai Yunhe's slightly stiff back and didn't say anything else.

There were still so many people watching, and Bai Yunhe's figure shuttled through the crowd, but for no reason it made people feel a little lonely.

Facing the glaring sunlight, I slowly walked back to my comrades. When I looked back, the family of four was no longer there.

Bai Yunhe sighed softly, watching people coming and going, watching everyone cheering, his face expressionless, but his heart was silent.

I thought we had a long time to live together, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, we were already far apart. Even though all the brilliance I had in my life was related to her, at this moment, it has also vanished into the past.

I witnessed his happiness and her perfection. From now on, I am just a passerby in your world. So let it be, let time teach me to forget.

Rong Jin and Hua Lei took the two children back to the house where they lived. Looking at the silent Rong Jin, Hua Lei sighed softly.

After a simple lunch, the two children went downstairs to rest, and Hualei also leaned on the small couch. Looking at the two purses on the small table, Hualei sighed softly and closed her eyes.

While he was dozing off, suddenly, the servant at the door came in and reported that there was a man outside who claimed to be Pei Tongzhi's uncle and asked to see Pei Tongzhi and himself.

Hua Lei was startled. Rong Jin's uncle? The Han brothers? Why are they here? A few years ago, Han's uncle went to Xisheng Prefecture, southeast of Xichang, and served as the county magistrate of Anping County below.

A year ago, Han Dajiu had left Anping County and was promoted to Chengze Prefecture under Xining Prefecture, where he was appointed as the sixth-rank Tongzhi. So, he took Han Erjiu with him and moved his family to the capital of Chengze Prefecture.

Officials are not allowed to leave the state capital at will during their term of office, but Uncle Han is not on the payroll, so he can move around freely.

Therefore, the person who came should be Uncle Han. I don't know why Uncle Han came? Hua Lei stood up and walked out of the room.
