Past
Because Qin Lang would never agree to let Shi Yiqing go out alone, after sending Qin Yichuan and Zeng Mu home, he drove Shi Yiqing to where she wanted to go.
When they arrived near Shi Yiqing's former residence, she called for a stop.
"Just stop here. Wait for me. I'll go in and come out soon." Shi Yiqing said this to Qin Lang and got out of the car.
Shi Yiqing took a deep breath, composed herself, walked into the alley, and accurately found the residential building based on her memory.
She didn't know why she was so damn familiar with this place, even though she had only been here once.
At the same time, many images flashed through her mind, freezing on a day ten years ago.
====
Shi Yiqing remembers it very clearly. It was the most stressful period of her life. She had just lost her previous job, and the next job she finally found had a reversed work and rest schedule. Shi Shi was only six years old at that time, but there was no other way. Without an income, she could not make a living.
So at that time, she had to come home from get off work to wake up her daughter, send her to school and then go home to rest. Then she had to wake up and prepare dinner first, and then go to pick up her daughter and ask the neighbors to take care of her after dinner before she could go to work.
This went on for several months, and she finally couldn't hold on any longer.
Then, Feng Yun suddenly appeared in front of her.
In fact, this was not the first time they met since coming to this city.
She was clearly exhausted that day, but she could still argue with him hysterically. She could also use the most vicious and hurtful words to attack the person she once loved the most.
Because she blamed him. Just as others had always said, her previous stubbornness had doomed her to this fate.
After she had used up all her strength, she could only squat down and sob softly.
Seeing that she finally stopped, he found the opportunity to speak.
"I know you don't want to see me. The reason I came here today is because I'm leaving this city. I used all my savings to buy a house."
Feng Yun took a few steps closer and squatted down in front of her, trying to put the key in her hand. But Shi Yiqing shook his hand off, and the key was thrown out and fell to the ground.
"I don't want your house. We no longer have any relationship," Shi Yiqing said stubbornly, trying to maintain her self-esteem. Her fighting spirit, which had been drowned by the exhaustion of life, was rekindled. She was determined to give her daughter a better life on her own.
Feng Yun sighed and walked over to pick it up.
"Then I'll take you home." It seemed that his appearance in front of her today was a mistake. The conversation had failed again. Just like the previous times, she completely refused to communicate with him.
Before leaving, he planned to give the key to Du Qiming and ask him to give it to Shi Yiqing.
He originally bought this house for Shi Yiqing three years ago.
Even though Shi Yiqing refused, Feng Yun still followed her from a distance until he was sure that she had returned home, and then he turned around and left with peace of mind.
One day later, Du Qiming gave the keys and address to Shi Yiqing.
But she still refused.
====
Unexpectedly, after so many years, she would still appear here today.
She walked up the stairs and reached the second floor in a blink of an eye. She looked at the New Year couplets still posted on the door, then reached out and rang the doorbell.
A few seconds later, the door opened.
The boy standing behind the door looked at her in surprise. Shi Yiqing also recognized that this was the son of Qin Lang's friend whom she had just seen at the school gate.
"Can I come in?" Shi Yiqing looked behind him and saw two similar faces, both looking at her with surprise.
"Auntie, please come in." After being surprised, Du Lin moved aside and Shi Yiqing walked in.
In fact, at this point, Shi Yiqing felt that he had guessed most of it.
"Are you Du Qiming's son?" Shi Yiqing looked at him and asked after Du Lin asked her to sit down.
"Auntie, do you know my dad?" Du Lin asked and then remembered that since they had a photo together, they must know each other.
"We're friends, I guess." Shi Yiqing replied to Du Lin, then turned to look at Shi Shi, who looked a little guilty. "It seems like you know everything?"
Shi Shi nodded.
"How did you know?" Shi Yiqing was puzzled. "I didn't expect you could find him. Did he come to find you?"
"No, I found him myself."
"How could you possibly recognize him? I've never let you two meet face to face."
"I... I saw your photos." Shi Shi certainly couldn't answer Shi Yiqing's question truthfully. Thinking of the photos Qin Yichuan had shown her before, she used this excuse.
"But I don't have any pictures of him at home."
"I saw your photo at Du Lin's house."
"Du Lin?" Shi Yiqing glanced at the quiet and somewhat embarrassed Du Lin. Since he was Du Qiming's son, it was normal for him to have a photo.
"He is Qin Yichuan's friend. I don't know why, but there are indeed photos of you in his house." Shi Shi added.
"Forget it, I don't care how you knew it. You go out and wait for me downstairs. I have a few words to say to him." Shi Yiqing no longer bothered about how Shi Shi knew about this matter. She came here today mainly to explain it clearly to Feng Yun.
Shi Shi did as she was told, and Du Lin took the opportunity to slip back to his room.
"I know that what I asked you to promise before was indeed too much to ask, but you didn't keep your promise completely, right?" Shi Yiqing was referring to the promise Feng Yun had made to her before, that he would never meet Shi Shi without her permission.
"I would come back occasionally to see her, but I always watched her from afar and never said anything to her." Knowing that Shi Shi didn't know of his existence, Feng Yun would sometimes go to the school gate to see her, and occasionally he would pass by Shi Shi on the road.
In fact, they occasionally looked at each other, but Shi Shi's reaction every time was obviously that she didn't know him.
But I didn't expect that after the first two meetings, Shi Shi would react like that when she saw him again, as if she recognized him.
"In that case, the previous promises are no longer valid."
In the past, she had her own selfish desires and felt that her daughter was everything to her, hers alone. Since Feng Yun cowardly chose to withdraw from their lives, he had no right to appear in front of them again.
"But I still want you to understand one thing. Don't try to snatch my daughter from me."
