Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 587

Chapter 587: Chapter 466: Yi Zhe’s Thoughts

A young girl, dressed in a black cashmere coat, with straight black pants, half of her face covered by a bright red scarf. Her long, beautiful hair was lazily tied up, with a few strands playfully dancing in the wind, occasionally covering half of her jade-like face. It made passersby wish they could help her tuck her hair back.

Yi Zhe, after finishing his errands, squeezed onto the bus and was greeted by this beautiful picture. He instinctively got off the bus, fearing that he might wake Zhou Jiao, and followed her from a distance.

Tiny snowflakes fell from the sky, carried by the wind, landing on Yi Zhe’s eyelashes. He slipped one hand into his pocket and gently brushed them away with the other.

He looked up at the sky, then at the figure walking unhurriedly in front of him. Yi Zhe suddenly noticed that Zhou Jiao was carrying a large black cloth bag across her body. The most charming thing was the bag had an embroidered image of a mighty tiger and a delicate little white rabbit facing each other.

Seeing this, Yi Zhe covered his mouth with a fist, hiding his smile. This girl’s thoughts are truly unique! Shouldn’t girls embroider flowers and grasses?

But strangely enough, he felt this was truly Zhou Jiao’s sincere thought. The same Zhou Jiao who could command a crowd with a word, and who grew up gracefully through adversity, unafraid of honor or disgrace.

Isn’t this mysterious girl exactly like the delicate little white rabbit, standing firm facing the fierce tiger, always keeping her dignity?

Following Zhou Jiao for two streets, Yi Zhe saw her calmly lining up, leaning against a corner of the wall, lit a cigarette, and watched her from a distance through the smoke rings.

After some time, the figure in his eyes had already entered the mall. As he finished his last cigarette, Yi Zhe sighed regretfully.

With both hands in his pockets, looking up at the sky in front of him, Yi Zhe couldn’t quite explain why he didn’t want to leave. He consoled himself that he was just worried about a beautiful young girl being out alone. In the end, he silently reprimanded himself that his character must match the military uniform he wore.

When Zhou Jiao came out of the mall dejectedly, that lonely figure made Yi Zhe instinctively step forward with his right foot. Then instantly realizing it was inappropriate, he resolutely stood in his place.

After a moment, Yi Zhe deeply gazed at her back, and once again followed her from a distance. Seeing she was heading home, he couldn’t quite explain his feelings—part relief, part loss.

Too late...

Their fate ended when his father did not reach out to the helpless Zhou Jiao, taking the little wife he secretly admired far away.

No matter how many times he awoke from dreams at midnight, filled with discontent, Yi Zhe knew better than anyone. Such a girl couldn’t tolerate betrayal, and even if Zhang Guoqing wasn’t with her, it wouldn’t necessarily be him instead.

Watching Zhou Jiao enter the Big Courtyard, watching her leave.

Yi Zhe glanced at the red star above the gate, paused, adjusted his military uniform, collected his emotions, and resolutely stepped through the gate.

In the Yi Family courtyard, a middle-aged woman bringing her daughter was sitting and chatting with Mrs. Yi in the living room. Anyone observing carefully would notice that this woman was frequently glancing towards the door during the conversation.

Mrs. Yi was well aware that the woman visiting with her daughter today was somehow interested in her eldest grandson.

The old lady’s heart was happy yet sad. Her eldest grandson was undoubtedly outstanding, and it was no surprise that someone had their eyes on him, but what could she do if the child wouldn’t listen? She too wished for a soft, sweet-talking little treasure.

When Yi Zhe entered the courtyard, hearing the exaggerated laughter from inside, he instinctively frowned and turned towards the East Wing. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to go back to the living room.

"Xiao Zhe, come to grandma. Have you finished your business? Is the northern weather too cold for you?"

Before Yi Zhe could reply, the middle-aged woman laughed, "Aunt Yi, so this is Xiao Zhe, you’re indeed fortunate, this child turned out so well, truly like father like son."

Mrs. Yi smiled and introduced to her grandson, "This is your Aunt Wang, and that’s her daughter."

"Xiao Zhe might not remember me, but I’ve held you when you were little. This child was robust even as a child, destined for success, and I wasn’t wrong."
