The two of them laughed crookedly, Beiyan's mind drifted again for a while, and he suddenly frowned and asked, "Do you remember what day it is?" ”

"New Year's Day in China, New Year's Day in Japan...... I know what you're thinking. ”

"I've had more than two dozen New Year's Eve years, and I've never had a year as miserable as this year!" Beiyan smiled bitterly, "I woke up early in the morning and was worried about work...... Being in a foreign country, if you can't go back to home, it's not miserable, I don't even have a family, what kind of home do I have to talk about. ”

"North Rock ......"

"Destiny is like this, it's hard for people to force it, today is the New Year, just think about them, you shouldn't be immersed in pain." Beiyan admonished himself, suddenly remembered something, and said, "You write a letter for me, huh...... Send it to your sister-in-law or Matsuki, and ask about Kazawa and Kitano, although they are missing, they may not be gone. ”

"Well, write tonight."

"And you," Beiyan grabbed Katoriko's hand and said, "Follow me across the ocean, it's been almost half a year since you left home, don't miss your father and brother?" ”

Katoriko pursed her lips and said, "There's nothing to think about, my mother is gone, my father loves my two brothers and eldest sister more than me, my brothers and sisters are only busy with their own careers, where did they care about me, I have been in a 'free-range state' since I was a child, I rarely stay with them, and my feelings are not deep." ”

Beiyan pondered for a long time, as if he understood something, but he didn't reveal it, "It's not too early, it's time to go." He said.

Katoriko got up from his lap, and then several people went to Zhuang Yuncheng's house together.

Beiyan and Chen Qi'er walked together, and behind Katoriko, Fujitawara Takeshi, and Eikurasuke walked together, Katoriko saw Beiyan helping Chen Qi'er hold the child, and he felt indescribable.

Soon, they arrived one after another, Zhuang Yuncheng greeted them, and said with a smile: "Today was originally your New Year, and we entertained it a little simpler." ”

"Do as you like, besides, it used to be the same in my house." Beiyan smiled and said, "Besides, I am also half Chinese, just treat me as a Chinese in the future." ”

"Okay, then wait a while, let's celebrate the Chinese New Year together." Zhuang Yuncheng said.

"Definitely," Beiyan asked, "what about Yun Yun and Fluttershy?" I've brought gifts, so give them them. ”

"Huh." Chen Qi'er agreed.

Zhuang Yuncheng saw that this little treasure was getting more and more cute, so he reached out to hug it, and said, "The children are holding for me, they don't know where they are, you go to find them." ”

Chen Qier sent Xiaobao and went.

Xiaobao is not afraid of people, Zhuang Yuncheng hugged him, he only looked at Zhuang Yuncheng curiously with big eyes, and said something vaguely in his mouth.

"Can he speak?" Zhuang Yuncheng asked.

"Yes, you can call 'Mom'."

"Then you two live together, what are you? What the kid is dad? Zhuang Yuncheng asked, "Will he call 'Dad'?" ”

"Chen Qi'er didn't teach."

"Your relationship, stained ......" Zhuang Yuncheng shook his head and said, "It's a headache to look at." ”

"Forced to work." Beiyan smiled wryly.

Zhuang Yuncheng only knew that Beiyan had done Yonglu's translation, and he didn't know that this was a step-by-step infiltration plan, and even Beiyan hadn't thought about the final result and purpose of going on like this at present, not to mention that Zhuang Yuncheng didn't know that this was just the beginning, so he had no doubt about his "unavoidable" situation, and the friendship accumulated with Beiyan in Japan for nearly three years made Zhuang Yuncheng willing to do what he could for him, including helping him hide his identity, but he was a little bit of a way to live separately from Katoriko and take Chen Qier over to live together. I don't understand the excessive' approach, but I don't think much about it.

At this time, Katoriko arrived, and ran over in a hurry, and when he saw Xiaobao's apple-like red face, he pinched it and made a face at him.

"Mom... Mother. Xiaobao made a childish milk sound and stretched out his hand to hug her.

"Huh?" Katoriko was shocked, "What did he call me?" ”

"He recognized the wrong person." Beiyan said.

Katoriko took him and hugged him, "Ouch, little baby, you recognized the wrong person, I'm not your mother......" Katoriko said.

Xiaobao also seemed to know, stared at her, stunned.

"It's so cute." Katoriko said, "Let's go, I'll take you to my mother." ”

Katoriko takes her away, meeting Fluttershy on the way.

"Huh—you're here, I'm coming to see it." Fluttershy is taken aback and laughs foolishly.

"Just arrived."

Katoriko forgot to send Xiaobao over for a while, and since he didn't cry, Katoriko kept hugging and talking to Fluttershy, and Fluttershy talked about the equipment and technology needed to build the factory, but Katoriko didn't think much about it, and agreed to help inquire.

"The kid doesn't blink his eyes." Fluttershy scratches his face and asks with a smile, "It's not like I haven't seen it before, what do you see?" ”

"Babble-" Xiaobao cried.

"How long have we been apart, and he will remember you," said Katoriko, "and come on, give me a hug, my hands are sore." ”

Fluttershy picks it up and asks, "Qi'er Chen moved over to take care of Beiyan alone, are you okay on your own?" ”

Katoriko twisted her arm and said, "Okay, it's okay, it's just that the two of them have spent more time together, I feel left out, today I see them walking together, Beiyan is holding Qi'er's child, I feel like a family, although I know it's not, but I'm worried that this day will eventually come, because I don't know how long this situation will last, a few months is fine, if it's a year, a few years, ten years...... What can I do? ”

"It's just an identity, why take it so seriously? Do you really want to completely become a replacement for the person who is already dead? ”

Katoriko knew she couldn't go any further, that Fluttershy was smart enough to say a few more words and she would notice, so she smiled and shook her head, "For me, no matter who he becomes, that person can't replace Beiyan's place in my heart." ”

Fluttershy smiles and doesn't ask.

afternoon

This lunch, eating unsatisfactory, everyone has thoughts, especially Beiyan is the most painful, he feels that he has been deceiving Zhuang Yuncheng, and deception is the beginning of harm, he no longer dares to think about it.

Katoriko tells Kitaiwa about Fluttershy's request to contact someone from Japan for support in building a factory, and Kitaiwa says solemnly, "Yes, Yun Cheng's will do anything." ”

"Of course you agree, but what are you excited about?"

"I have a hunch that I will do something sorry for him in the future, and I will not be able to make amends at that time, so I will compensate him in advance and seize every opportunity to compensate him."

"How could you?"

"It's not something I can control, I never want to do anything to hurt them, we're very good friends, but we're on two rival camps."

"Even if, you don't know how long it will be in the future, you don't know what will happen in the future, the dilemma has divided you, and the way you look sad makes me especially worried, until now, any concessions I have made are for you, if you can't even take care of your own body and life, I will not give in again, whatever plan and what the ideal, I will let it stop." Katoriko said worriedly.

Kitam understood that whatever he said would look pale, and he looked at Katoriko wordlessly.

"Am I dispensable to you? Even if I'm by your side, you can't be a little happier? You've been nervous all day, I haven't seen you really smile in a long time," Katoriko said sadly, "I don't know when you became so pessimistic, you couldn't find a trace of when you were in college, how sunny and optimistic you were at that time, a smile could cure me from being unhappy all day, and now no matter what I do, you can't get rid of the gloomy mood after all." ”

Bei Yan's face was gloomy, he didn't even notice the change in himself, he didn't expect this gradual change to make himself unrecognizable in Katoriko's eyes.

"But I understand you, you were dismissed from your post because your ideals and ideas were not in harmony with others, and after a few months of depressive life, you were sent to the strange northeast of China, and then your family suffered an accident, and you lost your dearest, and now you are sent to Beijing to carry out such a secret and dangerous mission. These successive blows simply devastate you, so you become cautious and pessimistic. ”

"You ......"

"You don't have to say it." Katoriko moved to Beiyan, hugged him gently, and said softly: "I am your other half, your joys, sorrows and sorrows are pulling me, I know that everything can't go back to the past, you can't change back to the previous you, but no matter what happens, I will face it with you and solve it together, I just want you to be happy and optimistic, your pain makes me feel painful, can you bear it?" ”

Beiyan tilted his head and took a deep breath, there seemed to be a thousand words in his glowing eyes, "I understand," he only said, bowing his head and hugging Katoriko.

On the second day, it was the day when Liu Zhen invited guests, but in fact, she went to meet Liu Zhen's son Liu Yun, Yun Yun was helpless, and the word "sorrow" was simply written on her face, "I don't want to go......" She looked weak and helpless.

"I've already agreed, it's not okay if you don't go, besides, I didn't ask you to go to Dao Mountain, the sea of fire, Liu Wei is not a flood beast, you lack a piece of meat when you see you?"

"But it's embarrassing, and what do you want me to say?"

"You don't have to say, don't worry, I have a solution."

"If there is any countermeasure, you will only talk nonsense." Yun Yun muttered in a low voice.

"Really not going?"

"I don't want to go."

"Okay, don't forget it, next time Liu Zhen comes to propose marriage, you can deal with it yourself. If you have the courage, you will refuse ruthlessly, and I promise that he will never come to propose marriage again, and he will not come close to us when he sees us in the future, just like he sees an enemy. ”

"You-"

"Don't dare? Then change your clothes. Zhuang Yuncheng frowned, looked at the time, it was not early, so he went out and waited.

Yun Yun pouts and prepares in a huff, when Fluttershy is called over by Zhuang Yuncheng to help her get dressed.

Yun Yun sat in front of the mirror, her face depressed, and saw Fluttershy pushing the door in the mirror, so she turned around and took her hand and said coquettishly, "Sister, I don't want to go." ”

"Afraid of what? It's not that I want you to marry him, my sister looks down on him, and she will never let you be wronged, we just have to deal with it...... Well, don't waste time. Fluttershy straightens her and helps her get dressed.

Yun Yun had nothing to say, so she coped with it.
