reconciliation
On the evening when the online lecture ended, a group of people arrived in Yancheng safely.
The moment she learned that they were going to Yancheng, Yun Xiaowan was actually very happy, but before she could magnify the anticipation in her heart infinitely, a feeling of loss suddenly surged into her heart.
She hadn't seen Brother Yun for a long time and didn't know what he looked like now.
In other words, even if Brother Yun was standing in front of her now, she would not be able to recognize him.
The depressed mood gradually dissipated the moment she stepped off the plane. Yun Xiaowan heard Ling Jianghan's voice from above her head: "Xiaowan, are you sleepy?"
Yun Xiaowan paused for a moment before nodding and saying, "A little bit."
"I'll carry you on my back," Qi Wuchen said, stopping beside him. "Come up and take a nap. We'll be at the hotel soon."
Yun Xiaowan stared at Qi Wuchen who was bending down in front of her for a few seconds, then shook her head seriously and refused: "I don't want you to carry me, Brother Qi. You're too tall and I'm scared."
"Ah?" Qi Wuchen was a little doubtful about his ears.
He tilted his head and saw Ling Jianghan over there, smiling and asking Yun Xiaowan: "Then let me carry you?"
Yun Xiaowan nodded decisively to Ling Jianghan.
Jiang Han leaned over for a moment and then slowly stood up, carrying Yun Xiaowan on his back and trying to move forward.
The voices of Sheng Yao and Xia Ran were faintly heard behind them. Qi Wuchen stood up and turned around, and saw Xu Yao only a few steps away from them.
Ling Jianghan turned around as he did, but before he could see what was happening behind him, Qi Wuchen beside him called out without warning, "Ling Jianghan."
"Hmm?" Ling Jiang Han turned his head and looked at him.
Qi Wuchen first reached out to adjust his scarf, then raised his eyes and looked at him with curved eyebrows: "I'm worried you'll catch a cold."
Yancheng is much colder than Beicheng. Xia Ran said that it will snow here in two days, and they made this trip just to see the snow.
There is often no snow in the north city in winter, so watching and playing in the snow has become an obsession for most people in the north city.
It's not very warm now, but Ling Jianghan is a cool person who prefers cold to heat. He tied a scarf today just to cover the bite marks on his neck.
Ling Jianghan wanted to say that he was not cold, but Yun Xiaowan suddenly hugged his neck tightly, yawned slowly and said, "Brother Qi, you are so stupid. Brother Ling is carrying me on his back now, so he won't be cold."
"Did you hear that?" Ling Jianghan looked at Qi Wuchen helplessly, repeating Yun Xiaowan's words word by word: "I won't be cold."
Qi Wuchen stared at him and smiled, with a look of "I can't do anything to you" in his eyes.
They turned around and continued walking forward. Behind them, Sheng Yao's eyes suddenly became vicious at this moment. He spoke while gently patting Hu Chen's arm: "Hu Chen."
"Hmm?" Hu Chen glanced at him sideways, somewhat confused.
Sheng Yao suddenly felt his legs go weak. He didn't stop, staring at the two people in front of him as if possessed. When he spoke again, his voice was a little shaky: "Are there...something wrong with them?"
Why didn’t he notice before that Qi Wuchen had two pairs of eyes on his face?
When looking at them, there is one pair; when looking at Ling Jianghan, there is another pair.
Two seconds later, Sheng Yao heard a very brief sneer.
He only needed to listen to know that the words "You just found out" must be written on Hu Chen's face at this moment.
Sheng Yao put his thumb on his philtrum, but before he could press it, he heard Xia Ran's voice from the side: "What are you doing?"
"Oh," Sheng Yao quickly withdrew his hand and looked at her with forced calmness: "Nothing, my philtrum is a little itchy."
…
When Qi Chiyue received the message that Qi Wuchen had arrived at the hotel safely, he just sat on the swing chair in the garden.
Chuyi and Maotai lay lazily beside her swing chair, and Qi Chiyue picked up the phone to reply to Qi Wuchen's message.
After she finished replying and turned off her phone, Qi Zhinian's voice suddenly sounded behind her, "Why aren't you going to bed yet?"
Qi Chiyue turned around when he heard the sound and saw his father bending down and scratching the cat's chin twice.
Qi Wuchen had sent the cat and dog last night, and they weren't against Qi Zhinian anymore. Qi Chiyue stared at his hand for a moment, then said slowly, "Wuchen said they've arrived at the hotel."
"Yeah." Qi Zhinian stood up straight: "Tell them to be safe and have fun."
"Dad," Qi Chiyue looked at him hesitantly, "Do you really accept them?"
"Why do you think it's fake?" Qi Zhinian glanced at her.
"You're too strict and too old-fashioned," Qi Chiyue said frankly. After a pause, he added, "At least I think it'll take you a year to fully accept it."
"Nothing is unacceptable." Qi Zhinian's tone and expression were very relaxed: "Whatever you want, whatever you want to do, I can only do my best to satisfy you."
Even though time has passed, Qi Zhinian had to admit that Sheng Ruoxin's death was indeed closely related to himself.
What outsiders see as a couple's deep love is just a show, and what they think of as their lifeline is actually sharper and more ruthless than any knife in the world.
Qi Zhinian doesn't love Sheng Ruoshen, doesn't understand Sheng Ruoshen, and knows very little about the children she left behind.
So Qi Wuchen said something very right - he, Qi Zhinian, had no right to say "no" for Sheng Ruoshen.
The two of them were silent for a moment, and Qi Chiyue said without warning: "There's no need for this, Father."
She and Qi Wuchen did not need any compensation.
Qi Zhinian withdrew his thoughts and heard Qi Chiyue's voice become calmer and more determined: "We have only respect for you, just as you have only guilt towards us."
Jumping off the building to commit suicide was her mother's own choice. Sheng Ruoxin also mentioned in her suicide note that she chose to give up because she could not bear the pain of the disease.
"Yes." Qi Zhinian didn't deny it. He felt that his daughter was becoming more and more like him. "It's better to get together or part ways amicably. We both prefer the former."
Sheng Ruoxin wouldn't want to see them part ways on bad terms, so the three of them reached a consensus to do their best to make Sheng Ruoxin's wish come true.
"Then get ready early." Qi Chiyue stood up from the swing chair and said in a very calm tone: "It is still unknown whether your son will get married in the future."
