Chapter 312: Snow Falls on White Hair (End of Text)

Qi Yaochuan froze and slowly changed his hand.

Qi Yanjing didn't make things difficult for him.

He looked at Han Ye beside him, and Han Ye spoke first: "I don't understand."

"If you don't understand, just guess." Qi Yanjing handed a paper to Han Ye.

Han Ye: “…” He never said that taking exams is part of his job scope.

Still he obeyed the order and picked up the test paper.

Listening begins.

Qi Yanjing got a headache after listening to this.

It’s just German. I’ll study it hard when I get back until I learn it badly.

Han Ye held the pen without any change in expression as he began to write on the test paper.

Wen Zhixian was still a little surprised. Han Ye looked like he was very proficient in German. He had no pressure at all and wrote with great ease.

If she could get out of bed and check now, she would have gone to see how correct Han Ye was.

Song Kairui helped her complete the behavior that restricted her. He stood beside Han Ye and looked down, without saying a word.

After reading it, he laughed and stepped back silently.

Wen Zhixian looked at him, and Song Kairui clapped his hands and gave him a thumbs-up: "Too strong."

Her eyes fell on Qi Yanjing again. She had never seen him racking his brains to write a test paper. She probably had never seen him like this even when he was a student.

This feeling was so new, he had never experienced this before when facing a test paper.

Listening is over.

Qin Zhaoli finished reading the two test papers, each one more explosive than the last.

Qi Yanjing glanced at Han Ye's test paper, pursed his lips, and said, "Okay, you can go out now."

Han Ye withdrew directly.

He was drawing on the test paper.

Zhou Qishi took out two glasses of "drinks" and asked, "Would you like to choose this glass of bitter melon juice or this glass of lemon juice?"

Why is there still punishment?

"Half a cup per person, and you can have the lemon juice in the next round." Qi Yanjing bargained.

Zhou Qi divided the cup of bitter melon juice into two portions, one for Qi Yanjing and the other for Han Ye.

Wen Zhixian whispered to Xie Anruo, "What if you can't do it?"

"He has many ways to solve it."

Qi Yanjing looked at the pot behind him and said to them, "Can we do it at the same time to save time?"

Wen Zhixian nodded repeatedly: "Okay."

Qi Yanjing called Han Ye back again, isn't this a perfect match for their profession?

When he saw the red blindfold, he took back what he had said.

"Let me try it first."

Han Ye gestured with the arrow for a while, then threw it in an arc in the air and it went in.

"Okay."

He covered his eyes.

Qi Yanjing is about to start the next round of listening.

When everyone was looking away, three arrows hit Han Ye one after another.

He took off the cloth strip and turned around gracefully.

Calculate the angle and strength of your arms and do it gently.

Just when everyone's eyes were on Han Ye, Qi Yanjing stepped forward and snatched him away.

Just hug and run.

Wen Zhixian's body felt lighter and he was suspended in the air. He immediately hugged Qi Yanjing's neck.

Bai Jing and the others cleared a way for her at the door. They had no intention of taking her away in a proper way. They just insisted on making a test paper just to live up to the props they had carefully prepared. And the effect was achieved, they just snatched her away directly.

I didn’t take it seriously last night, but I still sent a message to my brothers before going to bed, asking them to come to my rescue as soon as possible if anything “happens” tomorrow.

For fear that there were not enough people, Ning Yanci was also brought in and given some benefits.

He was the last one.

When she ran out of the room with Wen Zhihan in her arms, Ning Yanci's voice came from behind her: "I'm not feeling well, please don't hurt me."

The lazy and scattered voice sounds particularly annoying.

Qi Yanjing walked on the spiral staircase, not calculating his steps too fast for fear of causing the person in his arms to fall when going down.

Wen Zhixian raised his eyes and looked at him and smiled, "I was wondering why you didn't ask Bai Jing and the others to help you with the test paper."

It turns out he was waiting outside.

Qi Yanjing held her hand, took a few seconds to pat her on the buttocks, and said, "I'll settle the score with you tonight."

Wen Zhixian touched his neck and whispered, "When you say something harsh, your tone should be more fierce."

How can he be so soft?

Qi Yanjing ran down the spiral staircase with a smile on his lips. A white carriage was waiting outside. He put Wen Zhihan on it and sat beside her.

The horse-drawn wedding carriage convoy drove along the road to the castle.

It was snowing heavily outside the castle. She was wearing a custom-made red and white wedding dress with a shawl on her shoulders. Her thin veil fluttered in the wind, making her look like a rose that was lost in the world amid the silver-white snow.

The camera records in four directions.

She held Qi Yanjing's hand and said, "I'm very happy today."

Qi Yanjing held her hand and said, "Then I hope you will be happy every day."

Wen Zhixian touched the red rose brooch on his suit collar with her fingertips and heard him say, "You and I are the best match."

The gates of the castle were opened for them.

The carriage stopped in front of the door. Qi Yanjing got out and stretched out his hand to her. Wen Zhihan put her hand on his, took his arm, and walked into the magnificent hall side by side.

The hall, which originally had a solemn and dignified atmosphere, became more romantic and softer with the wedding bouquets.

With the blessing of the wedding officiant and the applause of the guests, they hugged and kissed each other. The falling petals carried a faint fragrance that was refreshing.

Wen Zhixian and Qi Yanjing went down together to toast at each table and received many blessings.

"Don't forget to treat me to dinner when you get back. You've put in a lot of effort today." Zhou Chuyu raised his glass to him with a smile.

Qi Yanjing raised his cup to them and chuckled, "Definitely."

After the toast, when everyone had almost finished eating, the host said, "Everyone here is an important friend, relative, or partner of the bride and groom. Today, we invite everyone to take a group photo. Please raise your glasses."

All the guests stood up and went to the hall, raising their glasses towards the camera at the front.

In the picture, the bride and groom are standing in the middle, with people crowded on both sides. The background is the hall of an ancient castle. Amidst the flowers and blessings, happiness is embodied at this moment.

-

After the dinner, the guests went to their rooms to rest, and the only ones who remained were their good friends.

Now that they have left, it's their turn to play.

We were originally playing real-life CS with paintball guns, but we broke the rules on Saturday by picking up a ball of snow from the ground.

So it became a real-life CS mixed with a snowball fight.

This thing is not only cold but also a bit painful.

Tonight is a night of revenge.

"You were the one who pushed me and wouldn't let me go this morning!" Zhou Qishi squatted on the ground, rolled a snowball with a diameter of 20 centimeters, and chased after Bai Jing.

Bai Jing pulled Chu Yixuan to block him, "This kid has endless energy."

Ning Yanci's painted bullet gun shot at everyone he saw, regardless of enemy. I was just getting excited when suddenly Qin Zhaoli said sinisterly, "Don't talk about your poor health now."

After saying that, he gave him two guns, and his black suit pants were stained.

Ning Yanci was chasing after the couple at this moment.

Wen Zhixian had already changed into a red fishtail skirt and was standing in the white snow in front of the castle, holding a glass of wine.

Listening to the laughter, there is peace and tranquility.

Qi Yanjing stood beside her. Wen Zhihan clinked his wine glass with a clinking sound and drank all the wine in the glass. She opened her red lips and smiled coquettishly, "I respect you by showing my love first. Please do as you please."

As soon as she finished speaking, a paintball gun suddenly landed on the hem of her skirt. She looked for the source, only to see Ning Yanci pointing the paintball gun at Wen Huaixu and shrugged, "Missed."

Wen Huaixu: "He must have done it on purpose."

She picked up her paintball gun and chased them.

Qi Yanjing's gentle smile was like melting snow on the mountains.

I have two or three regrets in my life, but you came in unexpectedly, and you deservedly became my only happiness.

She finished the wine in her glass and joined in the fight.

The sky is full of snow and the ground is covered with silver. I would like to accompany you shoulder to shoulder, and spend the three lives together with you.

Extra 1: Xie Daoran’s Perspective (1)

He came to see me again.

I lay on the tombstone with my chin in my hands, looking at Qi Yanjing opposite me.

…

After I died, I became a spirit, bound to a tombstone.

But it's not particularly boring. I'm not the only soul here. I've sent away batch after batch over the years, and no one is willing to stay in this small place forever as a soul.

But I... still can't bear to leave.

My death has caused great pain to my family and friends. In fact, there is nothing I can do if I don’t leave, but I still want to see them, even though I can’t see them usually. They can only come to see me when they miss me.

I had a beautiful scarf tied around my neck to cover the marks of sewing, and I couldn't take it off, probably because they didn't want me to see it.

I only remember that it hurt a lot at that time, but now I seem to have forgotten the pain.

They didn't come to my grave often, but I could feel that they were grieving for me and thinking about me all the time.

I saw my parents and sister crying in front of me but I was powerless. The moment I touched them, I passed through their bodies and I couldn't do anything.

I can’t bear to leave my family and my friends.

Qi Yanjing has always felt guilty about my death. He once said to the tombstone that if he had tried to delay it a little longer, the outcome would not have been this. But we were only eight or nine years old and didn't have that ability. I have never blamed him.

He has taken care of my parents and sister on my behalf for many years, and I am very grateful.

He was also one of the victims and theoretically had no obligation to do this for me, but he did it anyway.

As expected of my friend, he is very generous.

In fact, I knew even without him saying it that the circumstances of my death had left a huge psychological shadow on him.

He became a frequent visitor to my grave. He was the person I often saw. He did not have a good life. Uncle Qi and Aunt Tan hid him away because they were afraid that something might happen to him. His relationship with the family gradually faded, and he even developed some psychological problems.

I watched him grow from being the same height as me to being a head taller than me, until he finally grew to the point where I had to look up to him.

I stood beside him and gestured, but I could only reach the level of his legs. It is impossible for a soul to grow.

I didn’t have to go to school or eat, and I couldn’t leave the area. My thinking didn’t improve and my thinking was only that of an eight or nine-year-old child.

Even so, I still didn't want to leave. I wanted to see them, and I was afraid that if I left, I wouldn't know how they were doing.

Qi Yanjing comes to see me every year on his birthday and brings me my favorite Lego models.

But! He didn't bring me a cake.

On the first birthday after my death, he came to see me with a Lego model, but there was no cake, so I thought he had forgotten about it.

Okay, I'll forgive him for the sake of the Lego model. Don't forget it next time. I squatted on the ground and talked to him while taking apart the Lego model.

He can't hear.

On the second birthday after his death, he still only brought a Lego model. He had grown taller that year and was a head taller than me. I knew I couldn't kick him, but I still stretched out my leg and kicked him, and asked him where my cake was.

He suddenly stared at where I was standing without moving. I thought he could see me. I once heard that children whose skulls haven't fully grown yet can see strange things. For a moment, I was a little happy and waved to him.

He can't see.

The rumors turned out to be false!

Well, since he brought me flowers, I'll forgive him again.

But he never brought me a cake for several birthdays. As he grew up, he became very handsome.

I never ate cake again. My parents bought me a lot of things, but no dessert.

You have all grown up, but I haven’t. I love to eat!

Later, Qi Yanjing casually said in front of my grave that he didn't celebrate his birthday and didn't buy a cake, so I had no cake to eat.

I stopped taking apart the Lego model and suddenly felt so sad. We had the same birthday, but I was born three hours earlier than him. Even after all these years, he still can't get over the kidnapping. He is not happy. I wonder if my parents were also secretly crying when they thought of me at some point.

That day I sat behind my tombstone and felt sad for a long time. Then a new person came downstairs. He was a man in his thirties. I heard that he died while saving someone. He came to me and asked, "Little boy, what happened to you?"

My grave is at the top of the cemetery so that I can overlook the entire mountain.

I looked at him, but actually I couldn't call him uncle, after all, I had been dead for several years. But my soul would not change and would always remain in the appearance of a child.

I told him that my friends came to see me, and I felt really uncomfortable thinking about how my parents would be sad thinking about me.

The man smiled cheerfully and sat down beside me. I looked through the things my parents had cooked for me to see if there was anything I could use to entertain people. I took out a few cigarettes and handed them to him: "Do you want some?"

Actually, my parents bought me some cigarettes because they thought I might like them now that I am an adult. I can use them as I like and leave them alone if I don’t like them.

They...really love me.

The man took it and thanked me, saying, "Because they love you, just like how you feel right now, you can empathize with them. What has happened cannot be reversed. Seeing that they are being treated well, you should be happy."

He said, "Don't be sad, kids. You will be reunited in the end. One day in the future, you will meet each other in different identities at a corner of a city."

As I listened to his words, the haze in my heart seemed to dissipate a little.

We talked for a long time and learned that he was an orphan with no family ties and died saving others. He was very open-minded and couldn't bear to see other people's families broken up. There were fresh flowers in front of his grave every day.

He wasn't sad at all and said at least someone remembered him.

Later he left without asking me why I didn't leave. I think he often saw my friends and family coming to visit me and he should have understood that I didn't want to leave.

Month after month, year after year, time is a good doctor that can wash away the sadness in our hearts.

More than ten years have passed, and I am not sad that they come less often, because I know that they are living a serious life and have let me go.

So I am happy every time I see them, but they will be sad when they see the scene, and there is a thorn in their hearts that they can't remove. Well, then I allow them to be sad for me for a few days.

I would still loudly ask Qi Yanjing where my cake was on my birthday.

I know that he became a teacher and was gradually promoted to professor. He is really amazing, but does this make me look illiterate?

Never mind, we are from two different worlds anyway.

The days passed by like this, and the seasons changed in the cemetery. I no longer remember how many years it has been since my death, but he would read out my age every year when he came.

I remember I was twenty-eight, which makes it nineteen years since my death, and things seemed different.

Qi Yanjing came to see me as usual. I would observe everyone who came to see me. I remembered the appearance of my family and friends clearly. This time, he had an extra ring on his ring finger.

Extra 1: Xie Daoran’s Perspective (2)

You need to wear a ring when you get married. At the age of 28, it is indeed time to get married.

I wonder whether he likes it himself or his parents force him to do so. After all, in a family like ours, marriage is not entirely decided by ourselves and arranged marriage is necessary when necessary.

I hope he marries the one he likes.

He squatted in front of the grave and wiped my tombstone. I was taking apart a new Lego model next to him and complained that his tombstone was about to be rubbed off. Today, my tombstone was wiped left and right by them.

He told me about his marriage, but unfortunately he only said that he wanted to marry someone. But I am happy for him as long as he likes it.

I was still curious about what kind of girl he would like. We never discussed this question when we were kids. After he left, I thought about it for several hours until dark.

For some reason, I was able to leave this cemetery for the first time.

The scene unfolded before my eyes like a movie. I saw the world outside the cemetery, a world that I had not seen for twenty years. It was a dazzling and prosperous world.

I suddenly found myself in a strange house. The decoration style was elegant and warm. There was a bouquet of flowers in the vase on the table, which was my favorite.

Everything is new to me.

I heard a familiar voice and went over to find Qi Yanjing and a beautiful unfamiliar woman sitting at the table.

I am now in the state of a soul. I don’t know if being in this space will affect the living. I dare not go forward and just stand at a distance and watch quietly.

That should be Qi Yanjing's wife. I looked at her for a while and felt that Qi Yanjing seemed not so cold anymore. Qi Yanjing treated her very differently and was a little more gentle. He told her about his past in a very soft voice.

I looked at them, and suddenly the woman opened the cake box, and a faint sweet smell filled the air.

I was a little excited for a moment, wondering if I was here because I was one of the cakes they bought?

I saw she cut an extra portion, I don’t know if it was for me.

They left the dining table after a while, and Qi Yanjing carried her away. Was he sleepy?

I didn't think too much about it. I waited until they left before going to the dining table and reaching for the untouched cake.

If it really is given to me, I can touch the soul of the cake.

Having stayed in the cemetery for twenty years in the form of a soul, everything given to me can touch the soul of the thing itself.

There was still one piece left to be cut, and when I reached out my soul passed through the cake.

I hope they will be together forever so that I can have cake every year.

Then I like her too.

I couldn't stay there for long, as the suction force bound me to my grave again.

I was very happy because I had cake today and also because Qi Yanjing was slowly getting over his grief.

I lay on the tombstone and thought for a long time, wondering why I couldn't go to my parents. It took me a long time to figure it out. Maybe I wasn't obsessed with other things. After all, I had been thinking about cake for twenty years.

It was dawn, and the next day I met Qi Yanjing and his wife. I didn't expect them to come.

Looking at what they brought, it was another Lego model!

It must have been Qi Yanjing who asked him to bring it, otherwise there would be cake today.

She squatted down and looked at my photo. I could hear their thoughts. She sighed softly in her heart and said silently: What a pity, I wonder which book I will be the hero of when I grow up.

I knew they couldn't hear my voice, but I kept talking, asking her how Qi Yanjing introduced me.

And so on...

This winter my sister came with my brother-in-law and a baby in her arms.

My sister introduced the baby to me, and it turned out to be my nephew!

I looked over to see him, so cute.

My sister told him that I was his uncle, and suddenly I thought it would be fun to have a kid who could run and jump call me uncle.

Another year has passed.

Birthdays are coming and there will be cake again.

But this year, Qi Yanjing came to my grave before his birthday.

He had lost some weight, and I suddenly felt a little nervous. The last time I saw him like this was when I died, which was twenty years ago.

I don't know if he was dumped or if he did something wrong.

Because I didn't see his wife's soul, she shouldn't be dead.

He asked me if he was born with a bad luck and I said, "Nonsense."

From his words, I almost knew that his wife was missing and he wanted to die with her. I was really anxious. She is not dead, so why should you die?

But I also know he won't, because he still has heavy responsibilities, but his life will be more painful.

I can only hope that he finds his wife soon.

I was in low spirits for a long time and tried many ways to leave the area, but it just didn't work.

Yes, I tried to break through the barrier when I wanted to see my parents before but failed.

I want to see where I used to live, see if my parents are still happy, see how my sister and brother-in-law are doing, and see how my good friend Qi Yanjing is doing now.

I know a way. As long as I stop my soul from staying in the human world and completely leave here and enter reincarnation, I will have a final chance to say goodbye to this world. I call this a revolving lantern.

I still want to postpone this opportunity and go see them one day when they can all come to see me happily.

This situation continued until the summer of this year.

Like last year, I returned to that somewhat familiar house, the same cake, and the same two people.

I was a little surprised that Qi Yanjing found his wife.

I sat far away from them holding the cake, eating while listening to them express their love to each other.

The next year.

spring.

I think it's time.

I've been here too long.

Completely freed from the shackles of the barrier, I returned home along the path in my memory.

Despite the constant changes, the iconic buildings of that time are still there.

Along the way, I saw my family’s group company, Wang Changrong Yongsheng.

Returning to the home I hadn’t been back to for twenty-two years, I walked in and saw my parents sitting in the huge courtyard, teasing three-year-old Qi Xubai.

I stood opposite them, listening to their laughter and joy, and my mood also became cheerful.

Become a grandparent, and have children to take care of.

I didn't have much time to stay, and amid their laughter I hurried to see my sister.

Just as I was about to leave, I turned around and saw my sister and brother-in-law coming in from the door.

They had just come back from a few days' vacation to pick up their children.

Everyone is having a great time.

I stayed there for a while until my soul body became almost transparent.

I think I should use the time I have left to visit my best friend again.

It was dusk.

I looked at the two people across from me. I don't know what his wife said to him. After that, she ran away with a smile. Qi Yanjing followed behind with his long legs. He seemed to suddenly think of something and quickened his pace: "Don't lock the door for me."

I watched from afar and it seemed like happiness was contagious, and everything was perfect.

This coward, he only dares to tell me everything he doesn't want to tell anyone else.

Now that I have someone I can tell anything to, it should be much easier.

Goodbye, my friend.

Extra 2: Qi Wang

newborn.

…

When I walked out of the prison gate, it seemed that there was no difference. It was the same as when I entered seven years ago, except that the sunlight was more dazzling than that day.

The police officer behind him closed the iron door of the prison.

Life in prison was not easy, especially the first year, but at least I didn't die.

Today is the day I get out of jail.

After I am released from prison, I will be sentenced to deportation, and law enforcement officers are waiting for me.

Besides them, there are two other people whom I am very familiar with.

My mother and sister.

In seven years, they have changed a lot.

The mother who used to look like a noble lady is now old.

Meng Yingyu no longer had the refinement she once had, but she seemed less stupid now.

Logically speaking, the assets left behind should be enough for the rest of my life. I absolutely don't believe that they think about me.

I knew it wouldn't change, but I still held out hope.

The law enforcement officers were standing aside waiting. Knowing Meng Yingze's situation, they did not rush them and let them finish their words.

My mother threw herself on me and cried loudly, telling me how difficult it was for her during the seven years I was away. She said it was not my fault and that she would forgive me no matter what I did.

I found it funny and replied, "Thank you for forgiving me."

When my mother heard what I said, she cried even harder. She stroked my face and said that I had lost weight.

In fact, my daily routine in prison is very regular. I eat on time, sleep on time, work and study on time. I have indeed lost weight, but I am in good spirits.

"Brother." Meng Yingyu forced a smile.

I looked at her and she said, "I'm doing fine now. I was selfish before."

She smiled and said, "You were right before. I don't have any ideas of my own. I'm stupid."

"If I had firmly recognized you at the beginning, would you not have made that decision?"

I looked at her calmly, thinking that she had indeed become smarter and knew how to play the emotional card.

I replied: “Yes.”

If any one of them could firmly choose me, I would not do that, but unfortunately one did not.

Meng Yingyu apologized to me and wished me a happy life in the future.

I don't know if she said that on purpose, but I was definitely touched.

Meng Yue originally agreed with Meng Yingyu's words, until she was stunned. This was not what they said when they came.

"I have to go now."

I walked towards the law enforcement officers, and they had to take me to the airport and see me leave before they could consider their mission complete.

My mother grabbed my arm and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Deportation."

Meng Yue's expression changed immediately: "Why are you still leaving? Your sister and I are here, and you finally got out. Do you want to watch me die?"

“This is a sentence.”

"Aren't you capable? It's just an additional sentence. What will happen to me and your sister if you go abroad?"

The slightest touch I had just felt suddenly disappeared.

"The property left behind is enough for you to live on."

Meng Yue raised her voice: "What can I do with that little money? It's been seven years, and I've used up all the money long ago. Otherwise, how could I be like this?"

She held my arm and said, "I have been looking forward to seeing you, and this is how you treat me? If it really doesn't work, take me abroad with you. I will go with you."

Meng Yingyu: "That's enough! Mom, please be reasonable. If it weren't for us, would my brother be forced into this state?"

"Look at your sister. She dares to treat me like this now. I am so angry that she married a poor man. She can live like that, but I can't. You are all so unfilial. You are trying to force me to death. I would rather die."

She burst into tears and said she was going to bang her head against the wall.

I ignored him and got in the car.

Meng Yingyu didn't try to pull her away, as if it was a normal thing.

I know she doesn't want to die, she just wants me to compromise.

Before leaving, Meng Yingyu handed me a letter.

The car drove farther and farther away until all the sounds were left behind.

After boarding the plane, I opened the letter. Before opening it, I thought that maybe there was a phone number left so that I could contact her later.

But it was different from what I thought. She told me everything that had happened over the years.

[Brother, I'm not very good at writing letters, so just think of me as chatting about family matters.

Nothing major has happened in the past few years, just some trivial matters. I originally wanted to take your position in Blue Top, but it turned out that I was not capable enough. Today, after a few years, I think I was really stupid. I plan to use the assets you left behind to support me until I grow old.

My mother also knew that we should not live off our savings, so when a boss told me to invest, I really believed him. I thought I was very capable, but in the end, I got nothing and lost half of my assets.

To be honest, I always knew that you had a hard time, but I was the beneficiary, not the one who had a hard time. So I naturally didn't feel the pain until it happened to me. I always thought that you could handle anything, so what would happen if I pushed you a little? It was not until you actually carried out the explosion that I realized that you had been pushed too hard, and it was too late for me to repent.

I shouldn't have thought about being recognized. I was an illegitimate child born secretly, but I wanted everything at that time.

I basically left all my assets to my mother, but within two years, they were all gone.

Also, I got married at the age of 31. After all these things, I no longer have any illusions. I married the kind of person I would never even look at before. Life is pretty good. I am 36 now and don’t have the mood to make trouble. I have a child, but I didn’t bring him over today because he went to school.

Don't worry about anything else, brother, I wish you all the best in the future. 】

After reading the entire letter, he folded the paper and put it in his pocket.

At that time he also wanted everything. He was no different from Meng Yingyu, except that he was bitten back and trapped in his own trap.

Get off the plane and step onto this land.

At the age of thirty-six, he completely cut off from the past. There was no Meng Yingze anymore in the world, only Qi Wang.

Extra 3: Qi Yanjing's Autobiography

It seems to be her.

I saw her again.

…

I am not a nosy person. If I see someone lose his keys, I will not worry about what will happen to that person and he will not be able to get in.

I don't even have any sympathy or empathy with anyone.

I have my own things to do, and I just do what I need to do and deal with each day as it comes.

Not to mention picking up the keys and handing them over.

But this was not the first time I met Zhixian in the true sense.

I've met her.

So when I saw her again, the feeling was very different, like meeting an old friend whom I had never spoken to before.

Even though eight or nine years had passed, I still recognized her at first sight, but she had never seen me before.

I first saw her on that tree-lined path on a midsummer evening after school.

The setting sun was dim, shining through the leaves of the sycamore trees and falling on the ground. The girl's face was young, youthful, bright and full of vitality. I saw her in the crowd at a glance, and she started to chase the classmate in front of her, walking under the shade of the trees in the setting sun.

Even though I was so bored, I stopped and stood far away. This scene was really too beautiful.

Later, I would sometimes deliberately pass by that tree-lined path at that point, and occasionally I would be lucky enough to run into her.

We met from time to time during those two years, and she grew taller and her face changed.

I couldn't hear what they were talking about, maybe they were discussing the difficulty of the midterm or final exams, or which class had the best-looking boys.

I have seen her both happy and unhappy, but in my eyes she is always bright and passionate.

I am a passerby that can be seen everywhere on her road of youth.

And she added a touch of color to my dull and bleak life.

We walk side by side on two roads separated by a street, but our paths will never intersect.

Then she graduated and I never saw her again.

Unexpectedly, I saw her again after eight years and was caught off guard.

She is completely different from the one I remember. I never imagined that she would be like this one day in the future. Why is it raining, little sun?

I can't describe the feeling. It was as if a ray of sunlight that penetrated my heart was carried into the sewer by a cockroach in a dark corner.

I don't want her to have a bad life, I want to persuade her to let it go and make her happier.

We started to have contact.

But Zhixian was just as I imagined. How could Little Sun be defeated by a man? I noticed that she was really letting it go slowly.

Unexpectedly, she gave herself a strong dose of medicine and said she wanted to marry me.

In fact, I know she is afraid that she will turn around and get angry again, so she just wants to go for broke.

I was a little angry that day, but helpless, so I just thought of it as her being petty and told her that she shouldn't say such things to men.

I went to her house, cooked for her, and reminded her again before leaving.

But I hardly slept that night and couldn't sleep.

I thought a lot about it, and wondered what would happen if she were with someone else one day and met the wrong person?

Some men are hypocritical, they act very well on the surface but do another thing behind the scenes. What should she do if she meets such a man?

Will it be sadder to see her again in the future than it was then?

I dare not think about it.

I think I'll do it.

At least I know my own heart and won't do anything to hurt her.

Marrying her was totally unexpected.

My feelings for her at that time were not love. It was more like I wanted to keep her in my territory and prevent her from coming into contact with bad men.

I never told her that I had been secretly spying on her for two years. She asked me why I agreed to marry her. I just said that I was under a lot of psychological pressure and wanted her to be with me. She believed what I said.

But it is true, and what the psychiatrist said is right, maybe finding someone with the same frequency as me will be of great help to me.

She did it, filling every corner of my world with sunshine.

Gradually, it seemed that my feelings for her were more than just superficial. I seemed to have fallen in love with her.

Going shopping, eating, sleeping, she likes to stick to me and say nice things to me. We are together day and night. I think it is inevitable for me to fall in love with her, but I also find it unbelievable that someone like me would fall in love with someone.

Seeing her hurt was heartbreaking. I thought too highly of myself and brought her more troubles, but she loved me and was considerate of me.

I always feel that I owe her a lot, and I can never repay her in this lifetime. Even though I don't believe in gods or Buddhas, I now hope that there will be an afterlife, so that I can be entangled with her forever.

The only thing I can do in this life is to entrust my future to her, so as not to let her down.

Letters are too short to express my feelings, so I just keep my love in my heart.

It is my honor to have gone from being a passerby passing by her to being the protagonist in her life.

——We have finished telling the story that we have shown in public. The future is long, and we will continue to be happily together in places that you cannot see. I hope you will do the same.

Extra 4: Gu Yuchen

It was out of my control.

We took two paths.

…

When I was a child, the elders joked that I was a good match for Zhihan and that I should marry her in the future.

Actually, I think so too.

Zhixian is cute and has a good family background. She has a calm, gentle personality and a bit of cuteness. It's very comfortable to live with her. I think it's okay.

I don’t know if it’s because the elders said too much or if I was born mature and thought more, so I thought it would be a good thing for us to grow up and get married.

She treats me and Song Kairui the same, so I consider what to do if she doesn't like me in the future, so I am careful to show myself in front of her without showing any emotion.

She was younger than us, and she was also too young at that time to open a bottle cap. I always watched her movements, and when she needed help, I pretended to pass by and helped her.

She looked at me with little stars in her eyes. It's true that I don't like to laugh and I'm a bit cold, but when she looked at me like this, my heart was already filled with joy.

There were too many things like this. When we went out shopping, she and Zhaoli stood together, and I helped her carry whatever small items she bought. Song Kairui even whispered that I was too mean and that he understood me too well. But I also refuted his words, saying that Zhihan was young and needed help.

I was thinking that if this continued, Song Kairui and I would no longer be of the same nature in her heart.

As I grew up, I found that she treated me differently. When we were together as childhood friends, her eyes would be attracted to me.

I think what I did before worked, and now she won't fall in love with someone else.

But she never showed it and still treated me the same way she treated Zhao Li Kairui.

When she was in her teens and in puberty, she should have understood what love was, but I occasionally began to want to let her see something different.

For example, when I invited them to my house for my birthday, she was the first one to arrive. She was a head shorter than me in a little skirt, and her chubby little face looked so childish.

My mother told her that I was in the bedroom. I knew she was going to come over and say happy birthday to me, so I went to the bathroom to take a shower and wait for her.

Hearing her voice, I pretended that I had just finished taking a shower, put on my pants and was about to put on my shirt. I pushed open the bathroom door and wanted to respond to her.

Our eyes met, and she must have seen my upper body, even though it was only a brief three seconds, but I timed it just right.

When you are young and ignorant about love, what could be more shocking than seeing a body directly? Even if it is just a fleeting glimpse of the upper body?

When I was a teenager, I was very satisfied with my body, with thin muscles and blood vessels extending to the areas covered by my pants.

I saw her blush.

It was the first time she blushed at me.

I pretended nothing had happened and pretended I knew nothing. I walked up to her, gave her a faint smile, and said thank you.

That’s when things really started to be different for me.

Later, she was in her first year of high school and I was in my third year. I kept flirting with her. I thought that even though I was about to enter college, she would not fall in love with someone else.

I care about this a lot because it's too easy to fall in love at this age, and only if she falls in love with me can I prevent this from happening.

I plan to wait for her to be admitted to my university, so that we can be together.

But I didn't expect that I would overturn everything I had done before.

I met someone in college.

Li Chaomu.

At first I didn’t think much of her and never thought of having any contact with her, after all, we were from two different worlds.

She's a little stupid, but she's pretty. But we've seen so many beautiful people from our family, so we don't think it's a big deal, and we won't fall in love with anyone at first sight.

She has a pretty face despite a bad family background, which is really dangerous. When she was harassed, I thought she would cry, but unexpectedly she spoke very firmly. Although it was a weak struggle, it made me, a passerby, look at her with respect.

I helped her once, and after everyone left, she broke down and cried. I was at a loss for a moment and didn't leave. That was our first contact.

Once contact has occurred, the next contact cannot be avoided.

Later I found out that she liked excitement more. Unlike those coquettish girls, she was not cold and her little white face did not look pitiful at all. I also helped her to try not to be so self-deprecating.

It all stems from the confidence I gave her. She became more cheerful.

I gradually forgot my previous thoughts, but sometimes I would think, what was the point of my previous behavior of teasing Zhiran? It made me look shameful.

But I also felt that I had never made any promises, it was just an unintentional action, and she didn't know what I was thinking.

After I fell in love, I called Zhiyan to tell her. I don’t know what I was thinking. Maybe I thought that hearing her blessing would make me feel at ease. She did bless me, but I couldn’t feel at ease.

I always feel sorry for Zhixian, so I am always available for her help whenever she wants it, but she doesn't need it because there are too many people who want to help her.

She also didn't apply to the school I attended. I knew she had made up her mind and wouldn't have any other thoughts about me. I breathed a sigh of relief and acted as if nothing had happened.

My parents didn't say anything after they found out about my affairs. They were quite open-minded and thought that as long as I was capable of managing the company, the rest was up to me. But they would sigh whenever they saw Zhiyan. I knew they still liked Zhiyan and looked down on Li Chaomu.

For example, when she came to my house that day, she ate all the food my mother prepared specially for Zhixian. She even told me happily that I behaved very well.

My parents also told me that Li Chaomu was not a good match, and that marriage involves many aspects and cannot be based solely on liking. They also said that Li Chaomu was petty, a bit of a taker and a showman.

I know all her bad habits, and I think they are all caused by her family. I will help her change for the better. My parents also remained silent. Now I think about it, maybe they want to make me suffer before they will change their ways.

Perhaps the elders see it more clearly.

I was thinking about helping her change it, but she just dumped me.

Because her first love came back to her, she left me. When I saw the photo of her first love, my blood rushed to my head. The lower half of her face was a bit similar to mine. I just threw the photo away. Nothing could be compared to me.

It was my love that increased her self-confidence, so much so that she could kick me out, so much so that she thought I had been staying there waiting for her.

I was so angry that I smashed all the things she gave me, except the cup.

I couldn't let go of the relationship that ended suddenly. Seeing the cup reminded me of the past, so I kept it.

I almost smashed it, why did I keep it?

This relationship hangs over me like a haze.

It was a winter day, and there was supposed to be a party in the evening, but I drank some wine in the bar and forgot the time. Zhixian came to find me because he was close to my bar.

I saw her dimly, as if I saw the first time I met Li Chaomu, and when I looked more clearly I found it was Zhixian.

At that moment, I suddenly wanted to be with her, like Li Chaomu, although it was only for a moment and I was not sober.

When I became more sober, I realized that I had had this thought in the past, but I just postponed it for a few years.

In terms of appearance and family background, I am the most suitable for her, isn't it?

I took advantage of my drunkenness to ask her if she liked me.

Of course I know that she still likes me a little, although she has no feelings for me in the past few years, but now we are both single, and the probability of rekindling the relationship is much higher than that of others. I dare not ask too clearly, for I am afraid that she will find out that I have flirted with her intentionally or unintentionally in the past.

She was a very good actress and didn't show anything, she just said I was drunk and didn't agree.

In the next two months, I started to treat her as I did before and did everything I could to make her happy, so she agreed.

As expected.

Young people like to kill with great force.

I only gave out 30% of my love and in return I got 100% of her love.

Now think about it, I am not a human being.

Her love made me like Li Chaomu, extremely confident.

I accepted her as my own property. Even if I was indifferent or angry with her, I felt that she would not leave me, just like a child being angry with the parents. I knew that no matter how bad the parents were, they would never abandon their children.

It's not that I don't like her. I have had a special feeling for her since childhood, but I just flirted with her secretly without taking the initiative or making any promises. Gradually, it seemed like I was treating her as a backup option.

Pretty despicable, I know.

During the two years we were in love, I did pay attention to Li Chaomu's affairs. We did have feelings for each other, but it was impossible for me to be with her. After all, I paid attention to her more because I wanted to know how miserable she was without me. I hoped that she would realize the fact that everything about her was built on the basis that I once liked her.

She fell ill. At first, her husband was quite nice and actively sought treatment for her. But as time went on and the cost increased, he began to complain and no one cared about her.

I reached out a helping hand to her. As my former lover, I still didn't want her to die, but I no longer had the same love for her as I did in the past. Going back to my original impression, we were people from two different worlds, and I looked down on her.

Of course she was moved, and cried to me, saying that driven by our old friendship, she wanted to go see her, but my mother found out about this, so she naturally didn't go.

I was somewhat annoyed by this matter, and became a little cold towards Zhixian.

I was instilled with love and turned into a monster.

Then there was the scene where she accidentally knocked over the cup that Li Chaomu gave her and I accidentally hit her. Even now, I still feel inexplicably nervous when I think of that scene.

I didn't want to hit her. I was shocked myself why I became like this.

I was angry that she broke my cup because of my temper and her preferences that made me angry if she did something that didn't please me. But she was mine and I could vent my emotions with her.

So what if I just said that the cup was from my first love?

She won't leave me even if she's angry or sad.

When she stood in front of me and asked me what she did wrong, I was actually quite scared. My conscience was indeed uneasy. I was despicable and didn't want her to be with someone else, but in the end I was with someone else. After we broke up, I pretended that nothing had happened and wanted to marry her.

Although I was uneasy, I didn't do anything because I had a lot of love at the time and I had nothing to fear.

I still didn't take it seriously, so I bet that her love for me would tolerate everything about me, and she would come to see me in a few days at most.

But I didn't see her for several days, and I thought I had gone too far. Our families had a relationship and if I had fought, not to mention her family, my parents wouldn't let me go either. I thought I'd just forget it and make it up to them slowly in the future.

I went there twice and she was very cold to me both times. I was scared of her coldness.

She is not like that.

Was I mentally retarded at the time? Was I so blinded by love that I couldn't see that she didn't want anything to do with me? Because I was thinking about giving her the cold shoulder for a while.

During this period of time, the Wen family found out what I had done and drew a clear line between them and me. They also punished me. No matter how I apologized, they just ignored me.

When we met again, she got married.

I was really going crazy. I couldn't accept that she didn't love me, so I started targeting the man she married. But everything I did seemed to be adding fuel to their love, which only made Zhixian feel more sorry for that man.

I admit that he is better than me. Compared with him, I feel like a madman in front of Zhixian.

But we have been childhood sweethearts for so many years, then fell in love and ended up being enemies. How can I not hate her and go crazy?

I will change, I will do better than him, please look back at me.

She couldn't hear and didn't want to hear.

Looking back at the past, I was shocked at how I went from having a great hand to losing everything.

I was playing with her feelings and was not sincere. If I could stay firm in my feelings and wait for her to go to the same university as me, we might have been married a long time ago and there would be no need for that man. We might even have had a child.

My friends told me to stop being crazy and live a good life.

Yes, maybe one day their relationship will become distant.

So I suppressed my nature and pretended to live a good life.

I know I'm imagining things, but... maybe.

Extra 5: Pregnancy

The couple has been trying to get pregnant recently, and after a physical check-up they were healthy and found to be fine.

Qi Yanjing even checked the survival rate of his thing, and the test showed that the activity was very high.

In addition to a healthy and light diet, I try to turn down social engagements and never drink alcohol.

But during the pregnancy preparation period, Wen Zhixian discovered that Qi Yanjing bought a few bottles of a certain brand of soda and brought them back to mix and drink.

She didn't care at first, but he drank it on time every day, just like taking medicine.

Suddenly he remembered something that happened a long time ago. One of his search terms was "how to have a daughter".

It brought back some memories for her, and it seemed like there was such a "folk remedy".

Happy.

When he was about to drink the "secret recipe" for himself again, Wen Zhixian leaned over beside him, holding his chin and said leisurely, "It's fake, don't drink it."

"Maybe?" He said and drank it.

We prepared some pregnancy test sticks at home. This was the first time we tested and we didn’t take it seriously at first. After all, preparing for pregnancy is a very long process. They had only been preparing for about ten days to half a month, so they just took a test to try it out.

After the test, I was planning to just take a look at it and throw it in the trash, but I was stunned when I saw the display.

I specifically looked up the instructions and compared them, and was dumbfounded.

No, what can go wrong with this thing?

She tried several in the bathroom, all the same.

She took it and hurried out to tell Qi Yanjing.

Qi Yanjing looked at it over and over again and became restless.

"Do you think there's a possibility that something could go wrong?" Because she didn't believe that she could get pregnant while she was still trying to get pregnant.

Qi Yanjing reacted immediately and got her a coat to put on her, then drove her to the hospital quickly.

When they arrived at the hospital, Qi Yanjing seemed to be more nervous than her. She was aware of his subtle deep breathing and kneading her palm with the tip of his thumb.

He hugged her and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

After saying that, he hugged me even tighter.

After the checkup, I was healthy and it has been two weeks.

Wen Zhihan found it very strange and unbelievable. Qi Yanjing, who was standing by, listened carefully to every word the doctor said and remembered them clearly.

So...it happened the first time they had no measures?

They had always taken precautions before, and two weeks into the pregnancy happened to be the first time they didn't take precautions during their pregnancy preparations.

As expected, he is in good health and has a high survival rate.

Naturally, I told my parents the news of my pregnancy right away, and they were so happy.

They will also have grandchildren to hug. They are retired now and go out to travel and eat out when they have nothing to do. They are happy just thinking about having more children in the future.

In the second half of last year, the Song and Qin families had a baby boy. It’s true, the marriage was a little late, but after the marriage it was like rushing on the schedule, and the child was born.

The mother also mentioned a lot of precautions, and they both wrote them down, but one of them didn't take them seriously, while the other memorized them to death.

The old couple also reminded them not to mention the pregnancy to anyone else during the early stages of pregnancy, and that it was reasonable to be cautious, and they did so.

During her pregnancy, Qi Yanjing actively accompanied her mother to prenatal checkups and never missed a single one. Every time she came back, she would repeatedly stare at the forming conjugate on the list.

It's amazing to watch it grow from a germ to its full shape step by step.

It was spring, the temperature was the most suitable. We were afraid that there would be too many people on the weekend, so we simply set aside two days on the weekdays for the two of us to go out and play together, also because we were afraid that she would be bored.

At the scenic spot we visited, we saw the century-old ginkgo tree, which was covered with blessing and wish boards.

Qi Yanjing took her arm and walked towards the ginkgo tree. Props were being sold on the table next to them.

Wen Zhixian picked up the prayer belt and said, "Pick this one."

Qi Yanjing agreed, paid the money, and bought two prayer belts.

After tying the prayer belt to the designated hanging place, Wen Zhixian thought for two seconds, put his hands together and said a wish.

Nothing is more important than the safety and health of your family.

She walked straight in, put her arm around Qi Yanjing and asked with a smile: "What wish did you make just now?"

He refused: "It won't work if I tell you, so I won't tell you."

Wen Zhixian deliberately said: "I know it even if you don't tell me."

Qi Yanjing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Provocation is useless."

"I don't really want to know."

"I see there's an ice cream stall at the door. I'll let you have a taste later." Qi Yanjing said.

Wen Zhixian's smile became more brilliant: "Okay."

Don't mention it, the feeding tube is too strict.

But he was strict, not that she was not allowed to eat. She wanted to eat crabs before, but they were raw and cold, so I just used a spoon to dip a little crab roe into her mouth and gave it to her. Not too much, just a light taste was fine.

She knew only to give her one bite of the ice cream, just the pointy bit on top.

She learned her lesson this time. When Qi Yanjing handed the ice cream to her lips, she took a big bite and finished half of it.

Qi Yanjing's pupils shrank, and he quickly pinched her face, "Spit it out."

"I ate it."

Qi Yanjing forced a fake smile: "Okay, this is the last time you eat ice cream during your pregnancy."

Wen Zhixian’s first reaction: disbelief.

After two steps, she felt that this was all he could do: "No, summer isn't here yet."

Qi Yanjing hugged her and said, "If you can avoid certain foods, avoid them. You can eat whatever you want after your pregnancy is over."

If she is sick and unwell, she is the one who suffers.

Wen Zhixian managed her pregnancy pretty well. She gained some weight, but not too much, and she is in pretty good shape. After all, she has caring people around her and no pressure, so she lives a comfortable life and is naturally in good shape.

-

In October, Shuanghua gave birth to a daughter.

There was a girl named Sui'an.

We started discussing the baby's name during the pregnancy. There were many beautiful names, but in the end we unanimously chose the word "Sui'an", which means to be born with love and blessings, and to be content with what happens in life.

The moment the delivery room door opened, Qi Yanjing's heart relaxed a little. He walked into the delivery room with the bouquet of flowers in his cold fingertips and hurried steps.

Seeing her pale face and forcing a smile at him, Qi Yanjing leaned over and kissed her forehead. A layer of mist covered his eyes and he gently stroked her shoulders: "You've worked hard. Go to sleep. I'll be here with you."

She was indeed very tired and a little exhausted, and perhaps because his words were so reassuring, she fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at the child in his mother-in-law's arms, a chubby little girl, he suddenly felt very wonderful.

…

Although he had learned how to hold a baby, he was still a little scared to hold a child as soft as if she had no bones in his arms, fearing that he would drop her if he wasn't careful.

During the time in the confinement center, even though there was someone looking after the child, he still learned a lot.

I haven't been to the company these few days and stayed here to accompany Wen Zhixian. I was afraid that she was in a bad mood. Even if I went to work, I would not feel at ease. There is no rush.

Wen Zhixian joked to him, "Do you think the folk remedy you drank worked?"

He laughed: "Don't mention the [home remedy]. I drank it for nothing for so many days."

According to calculations, Zhixian should have become pregnant the day before taking the folk remedy.

Her cell phone rang and she saw it was a message from Wen Huaixu saying he would be arriving soon.

Zhaoli and his friends came over one after another in the past two days. Wen Huaixu just came back today from a business trip, but he had already received the photo of his niece. Obviously, she was not particularly pretty on the day she was born, but he closed his eyes and exaggerated: Wow, she is so pretty.

"My brother is almost here."

Qi Yanjing nodded, "I'll go pick him up, you can play for a while."

Wen Zhihan waved his hands.

After a while, the two came back. Wen Huaixu bought flowers and many other things, some for her and some for Xiao Sui'an.

"Let me see the little frost flower."

Wen Zhixian was puzzled: "What little frost flower?"

"What a cute nickname." Anyway, it sounds much better than baby.

They hadn't given Sui'an a nickname yet. Qi Yanjing paused and asked, "Why is it Little Frost Flower?"

"Born in October, October is also called Shuanghua, which is not very cute. Let's change it to Shuanghua." I had thought of it when I came here.

As he spoke, he walked towards the confinement nanny and reached out to hold the baby.

Qi Yanjing speculated in his mind. If that was the case, Wen Huaixu... Huaixu... April was called Huaixu. Wen Huaixu was born in April. It was estimated that one character was changed. Huai was not a good name, so it was changed to Huai.

That makes sense.

Wen Huaixu held the child in his arms and suddenly got goose bumps. Why was the child as soft as jelly?

I handed the baby over to the confinement nanny for fear that it might drop.

He bent down and touched the little boy's face. "It's not that uncle doesn't want to hold you. I'm afraid you'll fall. I'll hold you next time."

The little boy woke up, stretched out his little hands and scratched at him with a big grin.

There were only four words in his mind: So adorable!

-

Children are naturally spoiled at home, especially by their grandparents.

Zhixian thought her mother was originally quite serious, but she was so happy when she saw little Sui'an.

The old couple often take their children out to play.

Wen Zhixian played with little Sui'an for a while, and only left when she fell asleep, handing her over to the confinement nanny.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Qi Yanjing preparing to come in.

"Asleep."

Qi Yanjing nodded, took her hand, and went to the living room together.

There was a whole tub of ice cream on the table, and he took a container and placed it in front of him.

Wen Zhixian rested his elbows on the table and looked at his movements, smiling, "You really keep your word."

There are many things that I was not allowed to eat during pregnancy, but I eat them all now.

"I'm just worried that you might catch a cold and feel uncomfortable." She was feeling uncomfortable, and she felt very bad too.

He scooped two spheres of ice cream into a container, put a spoon on it, and placed it in front of her: "It's too cold, eat less."

Wen Zhihan scooped a spoonful of ice cream and put it into his mouth, the cool sweetness spread in his mouth.

Qi Yanjing didn't like this very much. He sat beside her and looked at her.

"You haven't been loving me lately."

Wen Zhixian looked up at him while holding the spoon and was stunned for a moment.

Qi Yanjing placed his hand on the back of her hand and slowly held it.

When she met his eyes, her eyebrows were full of tenderness and tenderness, and she said with temptation: "Please love me."

Wen Zhixian looked at him and agreed to whatever he said.

When I came to my senses a moment later, I was picked up.

Damn, beauty can mislead people.

Qi Yanjing lowered his head and kissed her slightly cool lips, which tasted like the sweetness of ice cream. He put his nose against hers and whispered, "I love you tonight."

Oh, literally.
