Chapter 315 Fate
"Do you know me?" Ye Qian asked the man.
"Don't you know me too?" the man said.
"How do you know I know you? No, do I know you?" Apart from that time when her soul traveled through time and space, she had no impression that they knew each other.
The man smiled at Ye Qian and said, "Girl, it's not nice to lie with your eyes open. Didn't we just meet a few days ago?"
Ye Qian was shocked. She said that when she was trapped in space and her soul traveled to Gu Jinyan and Gu's mother, this man looked at her. She thought it was an illusion and didn't pay attention to it. It turned out that he really saw her, but what was the time difference? At that time, Gu Jinyan was only a few years old, and now it has been decades.
Ye Qian had many questions in her mind, but she had to stay calm, otherwise she wouldn't be able to tell the truth. "What do you mean you just met me a few days ago? I'm afraid you recognized the wrong person."
Seeing that Ye Qian was still pretending, the man waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't admit it. Anyway, I have helped you to find your match. It's not too much to ask you to do something for me."
Speaking of fate, Ye Qian still didn't understand the date on the note hidden in the box. She was eager to know the reason. She knew that if this person didn't tell her, she would never know the truth. After hesitating for a moment, she stepped forward and asked, "Why is Gu Jinyan's birthday on the note correct, but mine is different?"
Ye Qian felt that her way of asking was quite cautious. It did not reveal that she was from the future, and she could also ask him how he knew her birthday in the future.
"You're asking even though you already know the answer. If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago. How could you have come here to get married and have children?" The man still had a smile on his face as he spoke, but his eyes were unfathomable. After living for decades, Ye Qian really couldn't understand this man.
"That means you brought me here. Why did you bring me here? Then are you also the cause of my death?" Ye Qian was full of questions.
The man said, "No, you are indeed dead. It was an accident. But your family was indebted to my father. He never forgot this favor until his death and told me to repay it. However, I calculated that your family would be extinct in your generation. It just so happens that the body you are using now is the most compatible with your horoscope. But just coming here alone wouldn't work. It just so happened that the child I met that day was destined to be lonely, which is a perfect match for your destiny. So I decided to tie the two of you together. As for your birthday, the owner of this body has long been reincarnated, so naturally I have to use your birthday."
Ye Qian believed what this person said. Reincarnation and time travel were already very mysterious, and she had a space, which was simply a fantasy among fantasies. Moreover, just because she herself did not have this ability did not mean that others did not have it. As a person from the later generations, her vision and pattern were not that narrow. However, Ye Qian was a little confused about the space issue. "You said that you helped me get here, so what about the space?"
"Space." The man thought about it and understood. "Is that how you describe it there? This description is quite appropriate. I forced you to come here. Everyone knows how difficult this era is. If I don't give you something, I'm really worried that you won't be able to survive." The man smiled and said nothing.
"What was it you asked me to do for you?"
The man took out a piece of paper from his purse. Ye Qian opened it and took a look. There was an address on it. She didn't quite understand it so she looked at the man and said, "This."
"You and him should go to this address tomorrow morning, remember it's morning." After saying that, he turned and left.
Ye Qian looked at the man's back for a long time until she could no longer see him, then turned and left. The "he" this man was talking about was naturally Gu Jinyan, but she didn't know why he asked Gu Jinyan to go with him. Ye Qian was not a person who would make things difficult for herself. If she didn't understand, she wouldn't think about it. Since this man asked her to go to this address, she would just go. If there was any danger, she could just hide in the space. What was she afraid of?
Ye Qian turned around and went home. When she got to the door, she took out a big watermelon. After being out all day, she naturally wanted to comfort the people at home. Ye Qian knocked on the door with difficulty while holding the watermelon, and then shouted, "Gu Jinyan, hurry up."
Gu Jinyan ran out immediately after hearing the noise. When he opened the door, he saw Ye Qian holding a big round watermelon that was thicker than her waist. He immediately reached out to take it and said, "You didn't know it was heavy. You put it on the ground. How did you get it back?"
As Ye Qian walked with Gu Jinyan, she whispered in his ear, "She took it right at the door. I really didn't care about its weight." Ye Qian couldn't help but think of Wang Qiong and Fu Shan who took the watermelon back that day, and wondered how these two people took it back.
Wang Qiong, Fu Shan: I can’t remember exactly what happened, but I was half dead when I got home.
As they were talking, the watermelon was already on the dining table. When the children saw the huge watermelon, they jumped up and cheered, "Big watermelon, such a big watermelon!"
Watermelon was a scarce commodity, so Ye Qian didn't dare to take too much. But every summer she would take a seedless sugar-coated watermelon for her family to taste. The rest of the time, she and Gu Jinyan would hide in the room to eat it, for fear that the children would let it slip that they often ate watermelon at home, which would be difficult to explain if others heard it.
Watermelon tastes refreshing and delicious when eaten in the hot summer. After eating it only once, the taste was deeply imprinted in the children's minds. When summer comes, they keep saying "watermelon, watermelon". So when they saw it today, they were all very surprised.
Ye Qian went to the kitchen and took a knife for cutting fruit. People in the past were not so particular, and it was hard to buy a knife, so one knife was considered good enough for a family. But Ye Qian was not short of supplies, and it was just a knife. She had plenty of space, so it didn't matter if she took another one. The main thing was that she really didn't want to eat fruit with the smell of cut vegetables on it.
When Aunt Lan first came, she cut an apple. The knife had just been used to cut raw garlic, and even after rinsing it, the smell still remained on the apple. After Ye Qian took a bite, the smell almost made her faint. The next day, she took out a new knife and told her not to mix them up.
Aunt Lan didn't say anything about Ye Qian's behavior. She came to help, and as long as she didn't cause any trouble, it would be fine. So she didn't tell Qiao that she disliked her or anything, otherwise there would definitely be a big quarrel.
Ye Qian first cut the watermelon into two halves, then into small slices, gave each child a piece, and asked them to go out and squat at the door to eat, so as to avoid stepping on the sugar water all over the house.
The children got their share of watermelon, so they didn't care what Ye Qian said. They quickly took it out and squatted down to eat it, saying as they ate, "It's delicious, even better than before."
"Eat slowly, there's more on the table, you can eat as much as you want."
The three children answered in unison: "Okay."
