Chapter 5 chapter Five

The National Revolutionary Army has reached the banks of the Yangtze River and stayed on the bank, preparing to continue the Northern Expedition.The national government has been established in Nanking.There is still a large army in the north, and the unification of the whole country will not be completed until two years later. When Nanjing fell, the forces of General Sun Chuanfang, who once controlled the southeastern provinces, were defeated, some surrendered, and some disbanded and disappeared.The armies not on the Northern Expedition line are still in a stalemate, waiting to bargain with the National Army, hoping to retain local power after the merger, or to be organized into various units.

The situation is chaotic.On the way to Jiangxi, Chiang Kai-shek caught evidence that the Russian adviser Borodin wanted to use the National Revolution to expand the power of the Communist Party.Chiang categorically broke with the Communist allies in Shanghai.Borodin moved to Hankow, and many Kuomintang leaders followed him there to form a left-wing government, both sides declaring to represent the real Kuomintang. The military made an agreement with the local commander in Zhangzhou.Xingle's uncle Chen Shantai decided to go back to his hometown to see the new situation and re-register his property with the new local government.

Uncle is away, Xingle sometimes entertains friends at home.Occasionally, I would take Han Xing home, have a meal, sit on Xianghai Yangtai for a night, or go out again. Han Xing has met her aunt and Juna, and Juna tries to make her feel at home.The two sides have their own purposes, and Juna and Han Xing actually became friends.Juna is happy that Xingle is marrying a foreign girl. Sometimes Xingle went out all night and didn't come back until three or four in the morning.He asked Han Xing if her mother would be upset, and she promised she would never. Xing Le was occasionally invited to Ai Li's banquet, but most of them declined.He never asked her out.

With her uncle gone, Juna is much freer.She had a Morris at her disposal, and she often went into town, and sometimes to the office.She is more lively than before and restless. Sometimes she would call Xingle from the hotel and invite him to lunch.At this time she always deliberately dressed up.With makeup on, her fair skin looks like a girl in her early twenties. They have a lot to talk about their affairs, friends, her mission to the city, and she especially likes to ask about him and Han Xing.It really embarrassed him sometimes. Where have you been?One day she asked him. Xing Le felt that she needed her help, so she answered cautiously and went to the old place.He said.

where? Near the coast, she wants to marry me, I want to marry her, when uncle comes back, you must help. Of course I've always liked you, you know, do you think I really have any influence over your uncle? Of course, women always have power over their husbands. I try to help, he is getting old.Sometimes forgetful, you didn't tell me what you were doing on the beach all night. Like all young lovers, talking and kissing. that's all? Xingle didn't want to answer, Juna looked at him and smiled. Well, she said.I'm going home now.I've been shopping all morning, and I just want you to understand that I will do whatever you want me to do.

What does she mean by that?What exactly does it mean?If her words were not clear, he would definitely understand the way she looked at him and the way she touched him for a long time. He sent her to the car and then returned to the office. One day, he received a call from her from the hotel, saying that she had something important to do and she had to see him. There is one thing I must tell you, and only you, that is very important. What's up? I can't make it clear on the phone, can you excuse me? Uh I guess so. Just say you are going to see a relative who is seriously ill, you can say whatever you want, I am at the Nanjing Hotel, come to have lunch, we will talk after dinner, and you will go back to work.

At lunch, she didn't talk about it, but she seemed excited and nervous.The skin around the eyes was very smooth, and the curly hair at the temples made her look very charming.Sometimes the eyes appear to be completely black. After lunch, she said: Come to my room.I have a room upstairs so we can go up and talk. They got into the elevator, came to the third floor, walked to the door, she opened the door with the key, hung a do not disturb sign on the outside, and then locked it from the inside. It was a large room, with sunlight shining through the windows.She went up and drew the shutter halfway down.

Take off your coat, it's so hot, do you want to take a bath? Xing Le took off her coat and put it on the back of the chair. I feel very comfortable.He said. You don't want to wash?Really don't?I need to wash it, I've been sweating all morning. After she finished speaking, she went into the bathroom.Xing Le sat there, wondering if she had something to call him to discuss in secret. After a while, he heard her call: Xing Le, bring my comb and lipstick. Why don't you come out and get it? No way, please, it's in my bag. After a while, she said again, did you find the lipstick and the comb?

He knocked on the bathroom door, and she opened a small opening. He saw that she was only wrapped in a towel, and her breasts were half covered.She stretched out her bare arms to catch the two things. Another five minutes later, she appeared in a pink dress trimmed with white. Don't worry, it's hot here, and there's no one else. She was sitting on the sofa, really wearing nothing but a transparent skirt, then she stood up and turned on the fan, and patted the sofa with her hands. Come on, sit down. Xing Le saw what she meant.He had seen her in all sorts of disheveled poses at home, but this time he had reached the limit.She looked so beautiful, made up on purpose, a woman with slippers, her hair down and braided, looked like a young girl, he hesitated and sat down.

Now there is really no one else, we can have a good talk. talk about what? She raised one hand, brushed the lock of hair on Xingle's forehead, and said with a smile in her usual low voice: Don't be silly, you asked me for help a few days ago, if you asked me, of course I will help you, Maybe you can do me a favor too. That depends on what's going on. Don't think I'm speaking ill of your uncle behind his back, that old-fashioned old man, he doesn't understand the needs of young people at all, I'm young, I don't look so-so, I also have a problem give me a cigarette.

Xing Le took one out of her pocket and lit the fire for her, their faces were very close.She grabbed his hand and looked up at him.Xing Le blushed, he felt very uncomfortable. She took a long drag on the cigarette, he retracted his hand, and her hand followed.She said: Sometimes it makes me feel so lonely, I can't tell anyone except you Then tell me. You have to tell me first that you really care and are willing to do what I want, are you satisfied with me? This question is so far-fetched that it seems unnecessary. Please, Juna, what's bothering you. You think I have no troubles? Is it you, or our family? I have a relationship with my family, unless you say you are satisfied with me, you like me very much, otherwise I can't say. Juna, I like you very much, what is it? That's much better.She leaned into the sofa, pulled up the dress, looked at the ceiling, and said to herself, "Xing Le, I want to tell you everything, everything that your uncle doesn't need to know and can't understand, that old-fashioned old man who often snores at night , I am very light sleeper, often unable to fall asleep, thinking wildly, thinking about the future of myself and your family, when the old guy passes away, there will only be the two of us left, right? Yes. I mean, your aunt isn't interested in housework, she just wants to save her soul, and she giggled a few times with her old lady.We both have to start from scratch, wouldn't it be better if we got to know each other a little more?Sometimes I often think, why are you so indifferent to me? I heard you didn't come back until two o'clock last night.I told you, I have insomnia, don't you think I have some feelings?I can't sleep anymore.I heard your footsteps going upstairs, I heard you turn on the light, I got up and went to the corridor to look at the light coming from your room. She suddenly broke down in tears and fell into his arms, Xingle, please, I love you so much. How did he get himself into this situation?He admitted that she was beautiful in appearance, but his upbringing did not allow such a relationship to happen at home, it was not a matter of loving her but not daring. He felt the weight of the woman's head resting lightly on his chest, her arms wrapped around his body.This is Juna, who has always been calm, but now she has completely collapsed, what should he do? Juna!Juna!He said softly, lifted her shoulders, and pushed her gently. The young woman looked up at him, her eyes were wet, full of pleading and affection, Xing Le was stunned for a moment.Their faces were so close that suddenly she kissed him hard. He kisses back, hesitates, then stops abruptly. you can't we can't Xingle!I am amazed at you! For a full two seconds, their eyes met, each reading through the other's meaning, her eyes blazing with confusion, disappointment, and enthusiasm. Just now you said you like me. Juna, please forgive me. It's not that I don't know your charm. You are my aunt. Juna turned her eyes out of the window, tears trickling down her cheeks. Xing Le thought she would be angry.It seems not.Maybe she really loves him; maybe she's in a special mood right now. She didn't look back, she still looked out the window and said: You don't like me. Juna, I like it, just Then forgive me and forget about it. Of course, you are my aunt. I'm not your aunt, I'm just a poor, lonely young woman, women don't like to beg for love, I begged you, but you refused. don't you understand our family relationship Don't mention it anymore. She lifted up a corner of her skirt to wipe her tears, Xing Le hurriedly pulled out a hand. She took a few breaths into the handkerchief, and when she spoke again, she was much calmer. Our relationship hasn't changed?She looked back at him and said. Hope not. In any case, we were the only young people in the family, now and for the last few years.Have you ever thought about this? Frankly, no. Juna gradually speaks her mind.Your uncle has no son. I never thought about it.He really never thought about the question of inheritance. I have to admit, you are a weirdo, you never thought that if you were nicer to your uncle, you might get a share of his property, and even become his heir, you insisted on paying off the money he paid for your college education Money, he was pissed off. real? Of course, this is equivalent to saying, he is not your real uncle, why are you so stubborn?You don't understand my situation. You don't understand.How I wish I had a son! Xing Le gradually understood what the young woman beside her was thinking. Let me tell you the truth, you may wonder why I asked you to do this today.First of all, I hope you and I can get to know each other better. I thought you were afraid. Since you dare not beg me, I have no choice but to beg you.Second, if you show kindness to outsiders indiscriminately, why don't you show it to the closest relatives in the family? I love Han Xing, I hope you understand. Can I go on?I feel the need to explain, I don't know when I found out that I fell in love with you, we are so close every day.I am twenty-seven years old, only two years older than you. I feel so sad when I hear you say you love Han Xing. Do you understand?I really wanted a biological son, so I said to myself, if I must borrow someone else's seed, why not just use the Chen family?Your uncle doesn't need to know.If the child is like you, it has the characteristics of the Chen family, why not?Do you understand now? I get it, he's getting more and more surprised at what this woman thinks.I hope you understand why I can't do this. Juna threw her head back.You are a weirdo.She gave a few dry laughs in despair.Once a child in the mountains, he will always be a child in the mountains.Xingle, have I made it clear enough? Um. She grabbed his hand and said, we can be good friends, good friends. Yes. He still couldn't figure out what was going on, she had already left a passionate kiss on his lips, and he couldn't help but kiss her back.Then she stopped and said calmly: Forgive me.I am satisfied, I have to. Please remember that I love another woman?Would you please keep your identity as an aunt? ﹒ The aunt was passionately in love with her nephew. Xingle stood up from the chair, and Juna had no choice but to let go.He smiled and said: You know, you make people flustered. Thank you. He put on his coat, looked at her twice, bent over and pinched her cheek and said: We can't do this at home, we have to be careful. I'll keep an eye out, I don't dare. He went out, closed the door, and took a long breath. Thanks to Juna who figured it out!She wanted to fight with her niece, not just for emotional reasons, because he is the only future heir to his uncle's property, and the method she came up with can guarantee her safety, her son is his son, on the other hand Well, if she doesn't have a son, uncle can marry another wife. She actually wants to use such a special method to solve her problem! He doesn't know how much today's events will affect his future.
