Huo Dongfang just watched Ye Fanxing quietly, as if admiring a world-famous painting.
He didn't know how long he had been watching before he seemed to wake up from a dream and strode over to Ye Fanxing, looking at her through the stained glass window.
Ye Fanxing noticed that the light in front of her had dimmed a bit. She looked up in confusion and saw Huo Dongfang's incomparably handsome face.
They were separated by a stained glass window.
Huo Dongfang's position was backlit.
Because Huo Dongfang was standing against the light, the light shone on him.
The orange glow of the setting sun seemed to coat Huo Dongfang with a layer of holy light.
For some reason, when Ye Fanxing looked at Huo Dongfang like this, she couldn't help but want to cry.
She felt sorry for Huo Dongfang.
He is clearly the true chosen one, so why should he become the male lead's stepping stone?
He should have had a brilliant life ahead of him.
She will never let Huo Dongfang become Huo Yanchen's blood bag again; she will let Huo Dongfang live a wonderful life that belongs to him!
Huo Dongfang reached out and gently knocked on the window.
Ye Fanxing got up and opened the stained glass window.
Huo Dongfang handed a bag of roasted chestnuts to Ye Fanxing through the window.
"Here's a star for you."
The air is filled with the sweet aroma of roasted chestnuts.
Ye Fanxing took the paper bag and asked in surprise, "Uncle Huo, are you done with your work?"
"I'm done with work."
Huo Dongfang reached out and ruffled Ye Fanxing's hair through the glass window next to him.
"Take a break while reading, look at green things, and be careful to protect your eyesight."
Huo Dongfang said those words and then turned and left with a flourish.
Ye Fanxing stared blankly at Huo Dongfang's departing figure before slowly sitting down at her desk.
With her slender, pale fingers, she gently peeled open the chestnut.
The soft, chewy chestnuts melt between your lips and teeth.
Ye Fanxing's frozen heart was also melted, and a seed gradually took root and sprouted in her heart as the ice and snow melted away.
She didn't understand what love was before.
I don't know what it feels like to love someone.
But right now, all she can think about is Huo Dongfang.
Ye Fanxing was carefully flipping through a medical book, and if Huo Dongfang had entered Ye Fanxing's room just now, he would have seen Ye Fanxing sitting in the splits reading the book.
Reading.
Eat roasted chestnuts.
Practicing martial arts.
Doing three things at once.
The setting sun shone through the stained glass window, illuminating Ye Fanxing's face.
Ye Fanxing squinted and looked up at the sky, where a patch of orange glow spread across the heavens, like an oil painting.
The engagement invitations for Ye Fanxing and Huo Dongfang were personally delivered to the guests by Huo's mother.
Families in the compound who were acquainted with the Huo family all received invitations.
Even the old man, who lived alone, was no exception.
Looking at the bright red invitation in front of him, Old Lian felt a pang of sadness.
He looked up slightly at the sunset and couldn't help but think that if he and his wife hadn't been separated by the war, then... he would also have a warm home.
Fate played a cruel trick on us.
The couple was hastily separated by the war.
Now that so many years have passed, will they ever meet again?
Old Lian took out his pocket watch and looked at the familiar face inside. He would take it out to look at it every day and night.
He's old now.
He was afraid.
I'm afraid that one day I'll get so old that I won't remember what she looks like.
She also feared that one day, when she and her husband finally reunited, she wouldn't recognize herself.
When they parted, he was still in his prime, full of vigor and high spirits.
And what about myself now?
But he was already old and frail, and his life was nearing its end.
"Old Lian."
The program carried a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine to Elder Lian's side.
"Please take your medicine."
Old Lian couldn't help but cough several times before he shakily took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
He is not afraid of death.
He survived the hail of bullets on the battlefield.
But he was afraid, afraid that he would not find his wife and children yet, afraid that he would leave this world with regrets!
"program."
Old Lian slowly lay down on the bamboo rocking chair.
"If I die, donate everything I own."
The program couldn't hide the sadness in its eyes. "Old Lian, you must live to be a hundred and reunite with your family."
"Reunion?" Old Lian murmured the two words. "I'm afraid I can't wait that long."
The program couldn't bear to look away.
He was an orphan who lost both his parents.
It was Mr. Lian who kindly took him in.
In the program's heart, Lian Lao was not only his benefactor, but also his family.
He understood better than anyone else the old man's deepest desires.
“Elder Lian, didn’t Master Pei say that you would be reunited? You definitely will be reunited.” Cheng Xu repeatedly affirmed, “Master Pei’s prediction was incredibly accurate.”
Even the old man knew perfectly well that Master Pei's divination was very accurate.
But he was afraid, afraid that he wouldn't live to see the day of reunion.
"Programmer, have you received the transfer order?"
The procedure was received, and he didn't understand why even the old man would transfer him.
"Program, I've paved the way for you. From now on, you'll have to walk your own path!"
"I won't leave, I'll stay and keep you company."
The program is also afraid, afraid that even the elderly will be left without support.
I fear that before I can repay Elder Lian's kindness, he will...
A man's ambition lies in all corners of the world!
A gentle breeze blew by, and even the old man couldn't stop coughing.
The program quickly poured a cup of hot water for Old Lian, but Old Lian waved his hand.
"Need not."
The program reluctantly put down the water glass.
“Programmer, you are different from Huo Dongfang and Zhan Beiwang. They have families behind them, but you only have yourself. But I believe you can definitely make a name for yourself.”
