Chapter 84 Dear
Zhang Yang's features and eyebrows haven't changed. He is still exactly the same as when he was a teenager, the fourteen-year-old him.
It's just that he has grown taller and his features have become more defined.
When he looked at Xin Tianyi, there seemed to be stars in his eyes. When he looked at her, every minute and every second, his eyes were filled with smiles.
It seems like I can never get enough of it.
Yuan Dabao cut the lamb leg for Zhang Yang from the untouched piece. Zhang Yang hurriedly stood up to cut it himself. Yuan Dabao said, "Sit down. I'll cut it for you."
Zhang Yang looked at Yuan Dabao with gratitude, then picked up the wine on the table and asked, "You guys drank so much?"
"We've only just begun," Yuan Dabao said.
Zhang Yang smiled as he opened the beer for everyone and poured it into everyone's cup. He then turned and whispered to Xin Tianyi, "When did you become so drunk? How come I didn't know?"
"I just had one drink." Xin Tianyi immediately distanced himself from the situation, "Not much."
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "It's okay. You can drink as much as you want from now on. I'm back anyway."
Xin Tianyi picked up the cup, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing Zhang Yang's surprise, she handed the cup back to him and asked with a smile, "Is that so?"
Zhang Yang quickly shook his head, "That's too much. No, drinking like that will harm your health."
"This is beer, buddy." Yuan Dabao heard the conversation and quickly said, "Tianyi can even knock me and Wei Ran down with white wine. No, it's more like they're all big drinkers."
Zhang Yang looked at Xin Tianyi again. Xin Tianyi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Alright, pour me a glass quickly. Let's have a toast."
The four men stood up, each holding a glass of wine, and raised their glasses in the light of the charcoal fire.
"Congratulations to Zhang Yang for coming back." Yuan Dabao said.
"Yes, toast to Zhang Yang." Cheng Tianlan also said.
After Xin Tianyi and Zhang Yang looked at each other, they touched each other lightly.
"Cheers to us."
"Cheers to us."
The two of them said the same three words in unison.
For a moment, everyone was stunned, and a second later, everyone laughed again.
"Yes, yes, toast to us," Yuan Dabao said immediately. "If Wei Ran and Bai Xue knew Zhang Yang was coming back today, they would definitely regret not joining us. But it's good that every family has a representative. We won't leave until we're drunk tonight."
"Finally, I wish Macau's return and the motherland prosperity," Zhang Yang said. "I wasn't able to come back and celebrate with everyone in 1997, but I'm finally able to do so this time."
"Tsk tsk. Look at Zhang Yang's awareness!" Cheng Tianlan exclaimed in admiration, raising his glass. The four of them drank it all in one gulp.
Zhang Yang's return this time was completely unexpected by Xin Tianyi.
Ever since the first time he saw Zhang Yang, Xin Tianyi always felt like he was dreaming.
She couldn't believe that all this was real, as if she was drunk and had hallucinations.
But the illusion was so real, so real that on a cold night, when they were outside enjoying a meal and wine, Zhang Yang simply switched to being left-handed and skewered the mutton with his chopsticks. This was because his right hand had been holding Xin Tianyi's left hand, refusing to let go.
So true.
The illusion was all too real.
It is so real that you can even smell the meat and taste the wine.
Xin Tianyi felt that he might be really drunk, otherwise he would not have imagined that Zhang Yang was right next to him.
"This one is more fragrant." Zhang Yang, not very skilled with his left hand, shakily picked it up and brought it to Xin Tianyi's lips, saying to her, "Try it."
Xin Tianyi felt like he was sober again.
Not an illusion.
Zhang Yang was really sitting next to him.
Xin Tianyi didn't ask anything after being blocked all night.
She wanted to ask Zhang Yang when he would leave, what day he would leave, and whether there was something going on at home when he came back this time...
She had many, many questions, more than the wine on the table, more than the lamb legs roasting on the rack, more than Yuan Dabao's words, more than Cheng Tianlan's hair...
But she didn't ask a single question.
For so many years, Wei Ran has been living well in this world, Wang Fang and Wang Yuxiu are safe, and Xin Tianyi seems to have nothing to fear anymore.
She lived this life again and recovered everything she could, and she thought she was satisfied with her life.
But when facing Zhang Yang, Xin Tianyi realized that this life had just begun.
She was scared.
She was afraid that Zhang Yang would let go of her hand and go across the ocean again.
Xin Tianyi doesn't want to be a person who worries about gains and losses, especially in love.
But she had no experience in this area. In her previous life, Xin Tianyi had no energy to experience any love, nor did she have the heart to do so.
She grew up in resentment and loss, and scoffed at all the emotions in the world.
She never married and never had a love relationship.
She felt that she was not worthy of falling in love with others, and others were not worthy of falling in love with her.
Since we live to lose things, what's the point of having things? It's better to have nothing, then there's no loss.
Now facing Zhang Yang, Xin Tianyi looked at the charcoal fire in the stove and felt a little scared.
She was afraid that he would leave, so Xin Tianyi didn't dare to ask.
The wine was in the glass. Xin Tianyi lowered his head and drank silently by himself.
Before he finished drinking the wine, Xin Tianyi realized that Zhang Yang was gently stroking his left hand.
He didn't notice it just now, but now Xin Tianyi discovered that Zhang Yang's thumbs were covered with calluses.
She suddenly remembered what Zhang Liangpeng said at home. Zhang Yang had never asked for a penny from his family. He earned all his living expenses by working.
At that time, Wang Yuxiu also asked, Zhang Yang was so young, what could he do there?
Zhang Liangpeng was drunk and choked up saying that he was washing dishes in the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant...
Xin Tianyi knew that Zhang Yang worked many jobs, but Zhang Yang never told her.
Every time Zhang Yang called, his voice was cheerful.
Just like when he was in junior high school and talked with a smile.
No worries at all.
Xin Tianyi put down the cup, held Zhang Yang's right hand with his right hand, and slowly spread it out.
When he saw that palm, Xin Tianyi realized how much Zhang Yang had suffered.
Zhang Yang turned to look at Xin Tianyi, smiled, grabbed both of her hands and held them.
"I'm not leaving." Zhang Yang said loudly, just like he was when he was a teenager.
"I came back this time to work. The company opened a branch in China and sent me here specially because they knew I was Chinese."
"Legal advisor?" Cheng Tianlan asked.
"Yes." Zhang Yang nodded. "The office address has been chosen. It's not far from your hospital."
"Ah?" Cheng Tianlan asked immediately: "Really? I thought you were lying to us. This is great, we can really be together."
Zhang Yang smiled and turned to look at Xin Tianyi, as if he had seen through her thoughts long ago and knew what she was struggling with and what was worrying about.
He looked into Xin Tianyi's eyes, firm and gentle.
"Thank you for waiting for me. I'm not leaving. Really."
The author has something to say:
My dear, I believe everyone has their own desires and ambitions at every stage of life. Every stage is both precious and confusing. I'm older than you, and now I have a family and a daughter. Looking back on my past, even the air seemed dreamy and full of hope, though of course there were also moments of pain. Now, how should I put it? It's a steady happiness, a feeling of having my feet planted on the ground and taking control of my own life. I don't think my past self is any different from my present self. I believe my present self is the result of my past self. In short, just go with the flow. Every age has its own dreams and things to do. Just go with the flow, do your best, and that's all. Changing thoughts is inevitable, and there's no right or wrong in change; it's all the gift of time.
But there are also many things that never change, such as the taste of memories and the stories I want to write.
The dream I had as a child has now come true.
Just like a big tree, besides the thick trunk, there are countless branches, which are the dreams and decisions it makes at different times. But the trunk will always be there, supporting all the changes.
Finally, I wish you and your life happiness.
What is happiness? Zhang Yang would say that happiness is finally coming home. Xin Tianyi feels that happiness is living with all the people she loves and who love her. Yuan Dabao feels that happiness is eating delicious food, and Wei Ran believes that happiness is continuous learning.
Everyone has a different definition of happiness, and we don’t need to care about other people’s opinions and views.
At this time, just focus on yourself.
(Just some humble opinion, I don’t know if you can see it. I will delete it later, thank you.)
