In fact, it is less than three years from those chaotic memories, to be precise, only two years, eight months and six days, the spring is cold, the breath of winter has not yet gone away, and the warmth of spring seems to have not yet arrived.

The city of London is cold all year round, there is not much sunshine, as if the cold is permeated at all times.

As soon as Yan Yu arrived in London, he felt a little cold.

She was wrapped in a thick white down jacket, with black pencil pants, tucked into camel-colored neat boots, and her right hand was holding Little Star, who was also wearing the same white down jacket like her, lining the little face with white skin, moist black eyes, and a small nose.

Her soft black hair was wrapped in a scarf, revealing only beautiful black eyes, and her thick eyelashes curled, as if the soft feathers crossed the tip of her heart, making people feel numb.

Little Star is already a beautiful little girl.

She suddenly saw something, her eyes lit up, her fingers holding Yan Yu tightened slightly, she looked up at Yan Yu, and pointed her little finger forward: "Mom, Uncle Qin." ”

Yan Yu looked in the direction of Little Star's finger.

The man stood under the dim street lamp, looking at them with a long body, he was wearing a long black coat and a gray woolen scarf, and through the gap between the slightly open coats, you could see that he was still wearing an intricate and delicate handmade suit.

The light gently shrouded his deep handsome face, the light poured down, he was well-defined, the lines were smooth, and a pair of eyes were clean and clear, as if the stars had fallen in the night sky.

The curvature of the thin lips lifted slightly, and the eyes curved out of the arc, and the tails of the eyes rippled with a shallow and deep smile.

He just looked at the words and the little stars intently.

Before Yan Yu moved, Xiao Xing had already broken free from Yan Yu's hand, stepped out of her legs, and ran towards Qin Rang happily, her eyes were crooked, like two beautiful little crescents, and her smile was bright enough to dispel all the cold.

Qin Rang smiled, bent down slightly, stretched out his hands, and hugged her.

The soft aroma on Xiaoxing's body penetrated into his nose little by little, and Qin Rang hugged her, and the two looked at each other face to face.

Xiaoxing smiled brightly, and her voice was milky: "Uncle Qin, I miss you so much...... Did you miss me?"

"Yes. Qin Rang's voice was magnetic and smiling.

Xiaoxing smiled even deeper, and then stretched out his hand very mischievously, directly into Qin Rang's scarf, and touched his neck.

Xiaoxing waited outside for a while, her little hands were a little cold, and she ran into Qin Rang directly, Qin Rang couldn't help it, and a small piece of goosebumps got on her neck because of the cold.

Little Star smiled happily, revealing a small tooth: "Uncle Qin, you are so cold by my magic. ”

Qin Rang was very cooperative, his voice was clean: "Uncle Qin is now so unable to move by magic, please ask the princess to remove the magic for the little one, okay?"

"Good. Little Star took his little hands back.

Qin Rang held her with one hand, and the other warm big hand did not hesitate to wrap Xiaoxing's two small hands in the palm of his hand, and he said in a low voice, "Uncle will warm you up for a while." ”

"Is this magic?" the little star blinked.

"Yes, definitely. ”

Little Star naturally converted into English: "It's the magic of love, I love you, and you love me too, don't you?"

"Yes. ”

While Qin Rang and Xiaoxing were talking, Yan Yu had already walked in front of the two of them, she had a simple little face, her skin was crystal clear, and the tip of her nose was a little red from the cold, she said to Qin Rang: "You still have the mind, play this game with her every day." ”

Qin Rang's smile deepened: "She's so cute, it's no problem for me to play with her for as long as I want." ”

Xiaoxing hugged Qin Rang softly, Qin Rang was very caring, and brought a girl's small cloak, although it was only a short distance to the car, he still put a cloak on Xiaoxing and pressed his hat.

"Let's go. Qin Rang said to him.

"Where's the south wind?" asked the metaphor.

"He's older now, his grandfather took him to learn to write calligraphy, it's almost time for him to practice calligraphy, there's no way to come out to pick you up, when I leave, he still has a small temperament, and he feels unhappy. ”

Yan Yu smiled: "Tomorrow is his birthday, and you are still so strict with him." ”

"It's not me, it's his grandfather. Qin Rang Qingjun's face was full of smiles.

Xiaoxing heard the conversation between the two adults, and she said in a soft voice, "I prepared a gift for Brother Nanfeng." ”

"What gift?" Qin Rang looked down at her.

Xiaoxing shook his head, a little embarrassed, and smiled a little shyly: "Now you have to keep it a secret." ”

Qin Rang smiled: "Okay, keep it secret." ”

In the past year, because Qin's mother wanted to move to London to live, so naturally, Qin Nanfeng also moved to London, and Yu still worked in Leeds, she did not work in Qin Rang's law firm, but found a local law firm in the UK, starting from the first year of the law firm.

Because she knows that the lawyer profession is originally a profession that suffers first and then enjoys.

In the first year of work in Leeds, I was in a hurry, and as a newcomer to the British workplace, I could only do some chores for barristers, accumulating work experience bit by bit. This year was also the most exhausting time for her, she didn't want Qin Rang to help, and she didn't want to trouble Qin Rang, so as soon as she arrived in Leeds, she separated from Qin Rang, and she said that she wanted to rest for a while.

She moved to the countryside in Leeds with Little Star, bought a country house, and found a local agent to introduce two aunts from China, one aunt has many years of experience in taking care of children, and was invited to take care of Little Star, and the other aunt is responsible for housework.

Yan Yu said that she wanted to rest, not fake, because her physical condition was very poor during that time, and her spirit was not very good, and Xiaoxing had just changed to a new environment, and she still needed time to adapt to it, and she also needed the company of people, so for more than two months, Yan Yu didn't go to work, her life was very regular and leisurely, and she also raised a golden retriever. Get up at seven o'clock every morning, wash up the little star, start to eat breakfast, after breakfast, she takes the little star to the nearby lake for a walk, the little golden retriever hums and follows behind them, the little star is not afraid of life, she sees the local grandparents on the road, she smiles at the grandparents cutely; after walking, it is time for the two of them to study, the little star needs to learn to speak, Yan Yu takes her to read books, memorize words, and when she watches cartoons by herself, Yan Yu begins to read the key points of criminal proceedings written by the famous British royal lawyer。 In the afternoon, Yan Yu would occasionally drive for an hour, take the little star to the city for afternoon tea, occasionally take the little star to the movies or shopping, and in the evening, the mother and daughter played for a while, watched dramas, did skin care, and then it was time to sleep. Qin Rang also has his own work and life, everyone is an adult, the attitude of Yan Yu is already obvious, Qin Rang is not the kind of man who is stalked, disgusting, he has a good grasp of the sense of distance, he will come to see Yan Yu and Xiaoxing once a month, and usually talk on the phone once a week.

Yan Yu likes this sense of distance, not too close, not too far, is a close friend from afar.

The two Chinese aunts invited were quite gossipy, and once chatted with them by chance, and Yan Yu learned that they had been curious about her specific background for a long time - "A single mother with her daughter, life is carefree and leisurely, with a house, a car, a daughter, a dog, and money, she is a winner in life, but I just want to know, what about her husband and family?"

Yan Yu smiled, shallow ripples appeared at the end of her eyes, she used her hidden screenwriting talent to make up a background for herself, what husband doesn't come back every day, tell her to leave him alone, he will regularly pay 100,000 yuan every month as child support.

One aunt expressed envy that she had enough money and didn't have to take care of her husband's life, and another expressed faint sympathy, because she felt that no amount of money could make up for the lack of companionship, and from her point of view, the words were not happy, because she always gave people a faint sense of melancholy.

Later, Yan Yu began to work, Xiaoxing can only be entrusted to the care of the two aunts at home, newcomers in the workplace can't get in touch with the core case, but it's not easy at all, most of the chores and errands need to be done by newcomers, but it's lucky, she is with a royal lawyer, and the audit is a big case, and she can still make great progress by asking more questions and learning more in private.

At the beginning of the second year, she officially became a practicing lawyer, and the most difficult thing at this time was that there was no source of cases, because she had no popularity, and there were no clients to find, and the method she arranged for herself was to be down-to-earth, first take over the legal aid cases designated by the court, and defend them seriously, and her reputation was accumulated little by little.

This year, her work has also entered a plateau, because she has played several wonderful cases, no matter whether she wins or loses, customers have seen her seriousness and dedication, and slowly, she will spontaneously introduce her to people she knows.

A lawyer's reputation is based on word of mouth.

Qin Rang helped Yan Yu open the car door, and took care of the mother and daughter to sit in, he went around the front of the car, sat in the driver's seat, raised his eyes, glanced in the rearview mirror, and saw in the mirror that Yan Yu was helping Little Star tie the seat belt.

Qin let go of the heater in the car, and he moved his lips: "Take off Xiaoxing's down jacket." ”

Little Star stretched out her arms cutely: "Mom help me take it off, it's hot." ”

Yan Yu couldn't hold back, and dropped a kiss on her cheek: "Our family eats cute and grown up baby." ”

The little star squinted and smiled.

Qin Rang's heart also softened into a puddle of lake water, which was the most gentle beauty he had in the past three years.

The car was moving in the fog, not fast and steady, surrounded by low-rise and slightly quaint houses, very quiet, except for the tall street lamps in the dim light, illuminating the road ahead.

Xiaoxing was a little sleepy, got into the car, and after a while, he closed his eyes, his mouth was slightly open, and Qin Rang said: "There is a small blanket on the seat of the car, you cover her, be careful of catching a cold." ”

Yan Yu smiled: "You told me to cover her with a quilt, as if I was a vicious stepmother." ”

Qin Rang pursed his lips, his lips slightly raised, and his dark pupils flashed a hint of luster.

Of course, he thought, not because she was a vicious stepmother, but because he wanted to be a kind and lovely stepfather.

Thinking like this, his eyes deepened a little, and the black luster carried a rich deep meaning.

In the past few years, he knew that Yan Yu had been hurt too much, and he also knew that Yan Yu did not want to enter a relationship or a marriage again in the short term, so in the past few years, he has kept his distance well.

But it's almost time to go further.

His Adam's apple rolled silently, his eyes glowing.

The road to the suburban house was a little long, and the car was halfway there, and Yan Yu felt a little hot, and her cheeks were flushed, like peach blossoms stained with water vapor on the branches of a spring tree, and her eyes seemed to be filled with the light of the Thames.

She unbuttoned her down jacket, and she could vaguely see the black tight sweater she was wearing inside, outlining a beautiful body line, which had been well raised in recent years, and her figure was just right, exuding her unique feminine charm.

Qin made the curvature of his lips deeper and deeper.

The car was parked in the yard, and just turned off, the door of the villa suddenly opened, and Qin Nanfeng stood at the door wearing a light gray sweater and black pants.

Qin Nanfeng's eyebrows are soothing, and from his upright facial features and calm temperament, it can already be seen how attractive he will be to girls when he grows up.

Qin Rang glanced at him: "South wind." ”

Qin Nanfeng called him: "Dad." He didn't even look at Qin Rang, his little hand curled up, and his eyes were fixed on the door of the rear seat.

He saw Yan Yu, and his eyes lit up: "Aunt Yan." ”

Unlike Lao Cheng just now, he was a little shy, and without thinking about it, he ran to Yanyu, he stood in front of Yanyu, looked up at Yanyu seriously, and there was a smile in his eyes.

"Aunt Yan!"

He screamed again.

Yan Yu bent his lips and touched his hair: "Little South Wind." ”

Xiaoxing fell asleep and didn't wake up, the maid of the villa heard the sound of the car engine and also came out, and hurriedly moved the luggage and some bits and pieces of the words in, Qin Rang bent down and took out the little star from the car, his movements were gentle and skillful, the little star felt the familiar taste, his eyelashes fluttered, and he didn't open his eyes.

Qin Nanfeng glanced at the little star, he smiled, turned his head and took Yan Yu's hand, wanting to say something.

Qin Rang's crease between his eyebrows deepened, and he said in a low voice: "Nanfeng, don't talk yet, Sister Little Star is still sleeping, you will wake her up." ”

Qin Nanfeng: "......"

Unable to laugh or cry, she squeezed Qin Nanfeng's hand soothingly, lowered her head and winked at him.

Nanfeng had a good temper and didn't take it to heart at all, and winked cooperatively.

Qin Rang's parents were both university professors living in the UK, and they were busy with scientific research all year round, and after retiring, they were rehired by the University of London.

Yan Yu likes Qin Rang's family atmosphere, his parents are loving, his education is open, there is love, and there is respect, he will not push too hard, and he will not care at all.

Father Qin was teasing the fish in the fish tank, smiling, while Mother Qin was reading a book, and when they heard the sound of the door opening, they both looked up with a smile.

It's not the first time they've seen words.

Father Qin smiled, and when he saw that Xiaoxing was asleep, he thoughtfully lowered his voice: "Xiaoxing, this doll, is you so tired that you fall asleep?"

Yu nodded.

Qin's mother said: "Wait a minute, Ah Jean, you send the little star to the second floor first, and Ah Yu will accompany our second elder downstairs." ”

Qin's mother is a gentle woman, knowledgeable, and has the unique virtuous temperament of a literati, and when Qin Rang went up with the little star in her arms, she glanced at Yan Yu and beckoned to Yan Yu: "Come, you have a good complexion recently, do you still have menstrual cramps?"

"Useful. "Yan Yu brought gifts to Qin's mother, but they were not valuable, they were just expressions of heart.

Mother Qin and Father Qin happily accepted it.

Father Qin asked, "Didn't Agen take you to dinner?" I said that I got home too late and was hungry. ”

"I didn't bring it to dinner. Qin Rang's warm voice came down from the stairs on the second floor, and he smiled with his eyebrows, "Because he said that he wanted to make dumplings for us to eat." ”

Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, and couldn't help but bend his eyes.

Where is what she said.

Obviously, Qin Rang wanted to eat the dumplings she made.

Qin Rang's tall figure slowly walked to Yan Yu's side, and without sitting down, he leaned back on her sofa.

Mother Qin smiled: "Ah Yu works so hard, it's rare to come to see us two old people, how can you let her cook?"

Yan Yuliang hurriedly said: "It's okay, Auntie, I'll make it, the dumplings are fast, have you eaten them?" ”

Qin Rang and Yan Yu entered the kitchen together, Qin Nanfeng saw the two of them entering, and he also kicked his legs from the sofa and walked to the kitchen door, he also wanted to go in.

But Qin Rang lowered his eyes and glanced at his son, wrinkled his brows, and closed the kitchen door without thinking: "The smell of oil smoke is heavy, let's go out and watch TV." ”

Letting Qin Nanfeng stare outside, he frowned, Dad is so bad, he also wants to make dumplings with Aunt Yan.

In the kitchen, the warm light shrouded the two of them, and Yan Yu was quite familiar with the Qin family's kitchen, so she found the dumpling skin herself.

Qin Rang stood behind her and added, "I've already asked people to make dumpling fillings. ”

The corners of Yanyu's mouth tugged: "So, you've been waiting for me to come to work for a long time, huh?"

Qin Rang only smiled and said nothing.

Yan Yu didn't say anything more, she took out the hair tie and loosely curled the soft long hair, the hair tie was not very tight, it was going to fall, but it would not fall, tickling people's hearts.

Black hair is like ink, and beauty is like jade.

The beauty is now making dumplings, and her white and shiny fingers delicately pinched out the shape of dumplings, and after a while, the plate next to her was already full of plates.

Qin Rang just like that, looking intently, with emotions flowing in his eyes that even he didn't know.

Yan Yu wrapped the dumplings and bent down to find the colander in the cabinet below.

The sweater is on the short side, and as soon as you bend over, a small piece of white and tender is exposed, which is shockingly white.

She quickly straightened up, but a few strands of broken hair fell and hung down on the side of her ears, and her hands were full of dumpling filling, and she was still struggling with how to pull her hair up.

Behind him, a warm body came up.

The man's slender fingers gently pinched the strands of hair and pinched them behind his ears.

During the movement, it is inevitable that there will be times when the body comes into contact.

The words were stunned for a moment, and then, the tips of the ears inevitably turned red sensitively, like a very seductive little rabbit.

Qin Rang chuckled, Yan avoided him, and laughed: "Don't make trouble here." ”

After saying this, he poured water into the pot.

Qin Rang didn't pay much attention to what she said, after a while, he took out his mobile phone, and felt that the scene in front of him was so beautiful that it was like a painting, and he took a picture of the beauty under the light into his mobile phone by using the warm light of the kitchen.

The beauty has clear skin and a slender figure, but it is exquisite, just a back and a silhouette with beautiful lines, people can't help but want to see the face of such a beauty.

Qin Rang rubbed his finger on the phone a few times, and after a long time, he posted a circle of friends.

There is only a picture of words, and there is no text.

After posting, he quietly leaned on the glass platform, leisurely waiting for everyone's comments and likes.

Qin Rang's past circle of friends almost had almost no traces of life, and most of them used to forward law-related pushes, but unexpectedly, now he suddenly posted a woman's back, still in the kitchen.

This is...... Did you disclose Qin Nanfeng's mother?

Qin Rang's circle friends blew up.

"Lawyer Qin is public??"

"Congratulations!"

"Ate a mouthful of dog food. ”

"The thousand-year-old iron tree has bloomed, and as soon as it blooms, it is a different beauty flower. ”

"Why...... I think it's like a metaphor?"

Qin Nanfeng was also playing with his mobile phone, he saw his father's circle of friends at once, pursed his lips, and did not like his father, but stole his father's picture without saying a word and posted it on his Twitter.

Father and son, like each other, have no words.

After a while, some classmates commented.

Qin Nanfeng saw a classmate and said that his mother was so beautiful. The corners of his pursed lips raised slightly, and the smile could not be concealed.

The dumplings had already been laid, and after a while, the hot dumplings were baked, and the aroma was overflowing.

Qin Rang put away his phone and took the plate in her hand: "I'll take it." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at her clear black eyes in the mist, and his heart softened into a puddle of water.

This is the person he wants to hold for the rest of his life.

The next day was Qin Nanfeng's birthday.

Qin Rang drove and went shopping in a shopping mall in central London with Yan Yu, Little Star and Qin Nanfeng, Qin Rang wanted to park, so Yan Yu went into the mall with Little Star and Nanfeng first.

Xiaoxing coquettishly took out a lollipop from the bag of words, and she gave one to Qin Nanfeng, but Qin Nanfeng had grown up, and although he didn't like it, he also accepted the lollipop.

Several people sat on the sofa and waited for Qin Rang.

Xiaoxing said softly: "Mom, can I sit on your lap?"

"Absolutely. ”

She happily leaned into Yanyu's arms, she held a lollipop in her hand, and smiled: "Mom, do you want to share a bite of my love?"

She held the lollipop to the lips of the word.

The words repaid the venue.

Xiaoxing said innocently: "I have a big, big love, and when I give it to my mother, I have two loves." She rolled her eyes and looked at Qin Nanfeng with dark eyes, "Brother Nanfeng, do you have such a big love?"

Qin Nanfeng: "......" didn't know what to answer.

Yan Yu touched Xiaoxing's hair coquettishly, and didn't notice at all that on the sofa opposite, a little boy about three years old sat quietly.

Wearing a small suit, there is no expression on his face.

Deep dark eyes stared at the three of them.

Obviously he is still so young, but there are no adults around him to take care of him, he is quiet and well-behaved, and he looks a little lonely.

After a long while, a middle-aged woman ran to him anxiously: "Thank God, little master, I finally found you, little master, why did you suddenly run down?"
