Chapter 196: I Should Protect You in This Life (1)
It is true that I haven't seen Tai Ziqian for three months, firstly, because I am really busy, and secondly, I deliberately avoid too frequent contact with him. The more I understood the affection he had for me, the more I didn't want to give him any hope.
I didn't expect him to be here today.
"Ziqian, long time no see. I said to him with a smile.
"yes, long time no see. I accompanied my mom on a vacation to Northern Europe and just came back a few days ago. I heard from my father, you're now in the investment world, ready to make a big move?" he walked over and sat down in the chair next to me.
Tai Feng smiled slightly, looked at his adult son with great satisfaction, and then said, "Shu Bei's understanding is very high, and he is suitable for investment. However, the most taboo thing to do is to be short-sighted, start to be complacent after a small success, or collapse after a little failure, and take a long-term view. If you want to do great things, you must first establish a pattern. β
"Dad's speech is getting more and more profound, let's finally get together, can't we talk about something else?" Tai Ziqian heard Tai Feng say this, and immediately smiled and interrupted.
"You're more than smart, but not patient. But as a father, as long as you live happily, I don't have any other requirements for you. Tai Feng said with a smile.
I found that only when Tai Ziqian was present, Tai Feng would have a knowing smile on his face. He must have poured countless efforts into his only son.
If my father is still here, maybe today, I don't have to cross the river by feeling the stones, hitting my head and bleeding before I understand the laws of life a little bit...... I looked at the picture of their father's kindness and filial piety, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Tai Feng has been accustomed to being a vegetarian for many years, and despite being a vegetarian, his dining table is still elegantly and beautifully arranged, with a slender aunt in coarse linen clothes who is in charge of it. Whenever it was sunny and windless, he would eat at the table in the open air.
Auntie's cooking skills are very good, the tableware is also very particular, each dish uses a different plate, there are pottery, wooden, and exquisite porcelain, the dishes are exquisite, funny and elegant, at first glance it doesn't look like a vegetarian dish at all.
Only when life reaches a certain height, has sufficient material conditions, and has broad knowledge and rich heritage, can we live an ordinary life so poetically.
In such an environment, people's inner impetuousness gradually becomes peaceful, and it feels like the days have suddenly slowed down, and life is like a far-reaching chapter, with the philosophy and wisdom of life in every word.
"Taste it, this is a new recipe that I have recently researched, and I asked my aunt to make it specially for you, please come and taste it. Tai Feng said with a smile, looking at the table full of dishes, with a smile on his face.
"Dad, if you continue to live like this, you will really become an immortal. Tai Ziqian said with a smile, then put a piece of dried bamboo shoots in my bowl, and said with a smile, "You can taste it." β
I nodded, picked up the piece of dried bamboo shoots and put it in my mouth to taste, and suddenly felt that the whole tip of my tongue was empty, and I quickly praised: "Fresh and delicious, sweet and delicious, the taste is really beautiful, I have never eaten such delicious dried bamboo shoots." β
"This small ingredient is also made by me, and it is made with a variety of spices, and if you dip it, it will taste better. Tai Feng said with a smile, and then put a small square dark green ceramic dish in front of me.
I took another slice of dried bamboo shoots, dipped it in a small saucer and tasted it, at that moment, the tip of my tongue was crispy, numb and spicy, but it was crispy and numb, and it was just right, and this kind of heavenly taste made me suddenly appetite.
I didn't expect that a vegan feast would be able to cook a high-quality meal as long as you put enough effort into it.
This meal is naturally very enjoyable, Tai Feng's life is so delicate that even the rice is extraordinarily sweet, from the selection of rice to the steaming process are very particular, every grain of rice is full of indescribable sweet taste, such an ultimate enjoyment, it is really unforgettable.
We also had a drink, and what we drank was naturally the wine he made himself, and he named the pot of wine, called Peach Blossom Thousand Drunk.
This pot of wine was brewed and buried in the ground when he was pregnant with Tai Ziqian, who was originally full of hope that he would give birth to a daughter, but he didn't expect to give birth to a boy in the end. Therefore, this pot of wine has been buried in the ground for a long time, and he specially took it out today and called me and Tai Ziqian.
The wine is very refreshing, with a unique fragrance, and when you drink it in your mouth, you will feel as if you have really walked into a ten-mile peach forest, and your eyes are full of peach blossoms.
Tai Feng said that the wine was very strong, and asked Tai Ziqian and I to drink less, but we drank it and got interested, so we were greedy.
Later, it was getting dark, Tai Feng was an extremely self-disciplined person, and he would do whatever he did at any time. When the time came to practice calligraphy, he got up and left the two of us in the courtyard.
My aunt lit lanterns for us, and candlelight was shining everywhere in the yard, which gave me a sense of living in a trance in ancient times.
Tai Ziqian obviously drank too much, his face was slightly red, and he shook his head and read Li Bai's poems with a wine glass, and that kind of naΓ―ve appearance made me laugh...... We drank so hard that night.
It wasn't until the whole pot was drunk that we got up and took our leave. At this time, Tai Feng had already laid down to rest, and Tai Ziqian smiled helplessly and said, "My dad is estimated to be the reincarnation of a scholar in ancient times, let's go, I'll send you home." β
"You've drunk, how can you send it? I'll go back myself." I said with a smile.
"There is a moon at night, let's go back, it's not far. Tai Ziqian said, and then suddenly took off his coat and draped it on me, "You are weak, don't always wear like this." Now there is a big temperature difference between day and night, so wear more clothes to go out, you know?"
When he put his clothes on me, I quickly pushed them away, and I said, "Ziqian, it's so late, you can rest at your father's place, and I'll take a taxi back by myself." β
"You can refuse my affection for you, but please don't...... Refuse my concern for you, okay?" Tai Ziqian saw that I suddenly became so cold, and his tone became serious, "I know what you think in your heart, and I also know why you deliberately avoid me and don't contact me." I don't blame you, I only blame myself for why I didn't return home earlier, why I met you so late. β
"Ziqian, you drank too much. His words shocked me inside, and I quickly said.
"I haven't drunk much, Shubei," he shook his head and smiled helplessly, his gaze cold and lonely in the night, "Father said that I had the same fate as him. The same love at first sight, the same ...... Ask for it, but you can't get it. β
Of course, I knew Tai Feng's friendship with my mother Su Wan back then, so I naturally understood the meaning of Tai Ziqian's words. I couldn't help but raise my head, although my heart was shocked, I still said very calmly: "Ziqian, it's good to have some feelings here." I think the reason why my mother has had a beautiful place in your father's heart for so many years is because of the distance. Some feelings are only suitable for sending lovesickness. If you still want to contact me, I hope I don't hear anything like that again. β
"Shu Bei, if you really understand me, you won't see my love as a flood beast," my words made Tai Ziqian even more helpless, he reached out and touched my head and said, "It is because I know how to grasp the distance, so to this day I have not thought about turning you into my woman." β
He put his clothes over me again, leaned closer, kissed me lightly on the forehead as I trembled, and said, "Don't you understand the meaning of my father's special call to open this jug of wine in the evening?" β
"I understand, I'm afraid you don't understand. Ziqian, I don't want to disappoint anyone......" Before I could finish speaking, he reached out to cover my lips, he shook his head and said, "I said from the beginning, you don't have to have such concerns. Maybe reincarnation has long been predestined, and it is up to me to protect you in this life. β
I shuddered.
He looked at me with a smile, his eyebrows were picturesque, his eyes were as bright as stars against the background of the lanterns, perhaps he had been influenced by both Chinese and Western cultures since he was a child, and his state of mind was already more detached than ordinary people.
My worries are unnecessary.
I smiled happily, knowing that if I shirked it again, I would really live up to the affection.
"Then I can only be respectful and obey. I gave him a mischievous hand, and then smiled and said, "Then you can send me home! I'm scared to go back alone, in case I don't have a car, in case I get robbed or something......
As soon as I said this, we both laughed, and he grabbed me by the shoulder, hooked his shoulders and walked out with me.
The streets at midnight are empty, and Hangzhou, where there are many high-rise buildings, is just a drop in the ocean when we walk on the road.
Tai Ziqian drank wine and became very emotional, he said: "Shubei, I am more willing to love the world than hate, love everyone who appears in my life from the bottom of my heart, and do my best to give and give love to each other." I'd rather be an angel than a demon. β
"Children who have been bathed in happiness since childhood are probably like you, right?" I said as I looked at him and teased with a smile.
He shook his head and said with a smile: "Do you think so? Since I was a child, my parents have been separated, my mother yearns for the world of flowers, and the man around me is never my father...... Shubei, there are many painful people in this world, and there are many forms of suffering, and I have also been painful and confused. But I think love tastes better than hate. β
At that moment, I couldn't help but stop and look at him, I didn't expect that he, who has always been optimistic and cheerful, has such a deep understanding of life.
A fallen leaf quietly fell on my hair, under the light of the street lamp, Tai Ziqian stretched out his slender and white hand, and gently picked the fallen leaf for me, and we couldn't help but smile.
I casually raised my eyes, but I saw two familiar figures on the other side of the road not far away...... Hangcheng, it's so small.
