23:53 p.m.

A group of people were gathered under the advertising screen, and everyone was waiting for the countdown to the New Year's Eve.

Chen Ke stood beside Han Ke and held hands with Gu Re, Su Kai and Lin Yu didn't know where to buy a demon horn to wear, and Zhao Nan stood beside them obediently.

"I'm a little nervous." Chen Ke said.

"What's there to be nervous about," Lin Yu turned his head to look over and said, "Wait for the countdown to see the fireworks." ”

"Is it too late for me to buy marshmallows now?" Chen Ke whispered to Gu Re.

"It may not be too late—"

Before Gu Re finished speaking, Han Ke dropped the sentence "I'll buy it" and left.

"Don't-"

"Why are you thinking about marshmallows?" Gu Re asked.

"I want to eat sweet things on New Year's Eve, so that the next year will be sweet all year round." Chen Ke said embarrassedly.

"There are still 5 minutes of New Year's Eve, and the grandfather who sells marshmallows is on the Ferris wheel, and it is more than 5 minutes away from us," Gu Re said, "So, instead of you waiting for Han Ke here, it is better for you to go there with him, it is the same New Year's Eve." ”

"Then I'll go, I'll see you later."

After Chen Ke finished speaking, he ran to find Han Ke.

"Why is Chen Ke going?" Lin Yu saw the back of Chen Ke leaving and asked.

Gu Re looked up at the advertising screen, his face was soft, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, "Eat sugar." ”

“……”

This way.

When Chen Ke arrived, it was already 58 points.

"Why are you here?" Han Ke asked.

"New Year's Eve with you." Chen Ke calmed his breath and smiled.

"Alright." The grandfather who sells marshmallows hands the marshmallows to Han Ke.

Chen Ke hurriedly took it, and she heard the countdown over there.

She silently counted.

When she counted to 1, she put the marshmallow on Han Ke's lips, and she tiptoed to the other side with her mouth.

The two kissed, no, it was a kiss across a string of marshmallows.

Han Ke's eyes widened and looked at Chen Ke, Chen Ke looked at him with blinking eyes, and his eyelashes scratched his heart like a small brush, which made Han Ke's heart agitated.

There was the sound of fireworks crackling in his ears, and sparks flew in Han Ke's heart.

Chen Ke relieved himself, moved the marshmallow away, took a few steps back, and said, "Don't get me wrong, I want the marshmallow to be sweet on New Year's Eve, so that in the new year, life is still very sweet."

I want your life to be sweet, but this marshmallow is not easy to divide, and if I tear it for you by hand, and it is not very hygienic, I will use this method. ”

"You...... You don't mind, do you? Chen Ke asked him nervously.

Han Ke swallowed his saliva, his Adam's apple rolled, he forced his composure, and his voice was low, "Don't mind." ”

Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good, let's go find them." ”

"Hmm."

……

"Where did you two go, and you didn't see it back when you counted down." Lin Yu wondered.

"I'm going to buy marshmallows," Chen Keyang raised the marshmallow in his hand and said, "The new year starts with sweetness, how auspicious." ”

"Do you still believe this?" Lin Yu teased her, "Elementary school students? ”

"Aren't you wearing a glowing demon horn for each other?" Chen Ke replied to him.

"Chen Ke, did you see the fireworks just now?" Su Kai asked, "There are purple fireworks that you like." ”

"Uh-huh, I saw it, super pretty." Chen Ke replied excitedly.

"You like purple?" Han Ke asked.

"yes, my favorite is purple."

Han Ke had just bought her a pink marshmallow.

"Okay, it's not early, let's go home," Gu Re said, "Chen Ke is with Han Ke, right?" Then you guys follow me and send me back. ”

Su Kai said: "I'll send Chen Ke, Lin Yu and Zhao Nan will send you." ”

"No, it's not on the way," Chen Ke stopped, "Han Ke's grandmother's house lives there, and it's convenient to live in a neighborhood with me." ”

"But—"

"Don't say it, besides, you'll go alone." Chen Ke said to Su Kai.

Su Kai shut up.

"Let's go." Gu Re said lightly.

Lin Yu and Zhao Nan followed, Su Kai hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

"Okay, let's go too," Chen Ke looked up at Han Ke and said.

……

After taking a bath, Chen Ke lay on the bed, tossing and turning but couldn't sleep.

As soon as his eyes closed, Han Ke's face was revealed.

At that time, it was really close, and Chen Ke was actually very nervous, but it was more excited, excited and exciting.

Chen Ke pinched the edge of the quilt and couldn't help laughing, and in the bedroom where the lights were turned off, low laughter echoed.

To be honest, it's pretty weird,

Han Ke's side is not much better, he has been in a state of distraction since the marshmallow.

Back in the bedroom, after taking a shower, it was completely relieved.

He began to think back to the picture, Chen Ke's eyes, Chen Ke's nose, and the lips separated from him by a marshmallow.

The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, he got up and poured water, raised his head and poured it down.

Chen Ke's eyes had light, and when he looked at him, there was a kind of magic that wanted to suck him in.

He even felt that he could see himself in Chen Ke's eyes, but he was too stunned at the time, his breath was stagnant, his eyes were dull, and he didn't dare to look closely.

Before officially falling asleep, the picture of Han Ke closing his eyes was the scene where he saw Chen Ke for the first time.

After many years, he can still remember that day, Chen Ke laughed-

Wanton and unrestrained, unstoppable.

At noon on the 1st, Han's father came to pick up Han Ke and go home.

Han Ke was a little sullen, he hadn't said goodbye to Chen Ke yet.

They made an appointment last night and are going to the bookstore together today.

Chen Ke said that the bookstore will have a discount for an event today, and she wants to buy books.

And he went to tutor Chen Kehua.

Although Chen Ke would definitely be fine with 40 points if he was familiar with those questions, he couldn't just look at her progress, others were also improving.

If you want to be foolproof, you must bring up Chen Ke's chemistry.

Han Ke is rarely unsure about things, but he is really unsure about whether Chen Ke can stay in Class 1.

The appearance of Han's father disrupted his plans today.

And he was powerless to resist.

Since Dad Han came to pick him up, it must have been He Li's request.

For He Li, Han Ke always couldn't resist.

In the car, Han Ke sent a message to Chen Ke.

Han Ke: I'm sorry, I can't go to the bookstore with you today, I'm going home.

Chen Ke was stinky at home, and when he suddenly saw this news, he instantly pouted and wilted.

She threw herself on the bed and replied to messages on her stomach.

Chen Ke: It's okay, no need to apologize, I wish you a happy New Year's Day.

Han Ke hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and replied: You are also happy.

……

Fengxing Community.

Inside a three-storey European-style villa.

"Han Ke!" He Li's angry voice echoed in the living room, and she shouted, "Did you call Ren Pingyao?" ”

Han Ke frowned in the room, thinking to himself, the door should be closed.

After some psychological struggle, I got up and went downstairs.

He did not go down to the first floor, walked halfway and stopped at the stairs.

When He Li saw Han Ke appear, her anger did not subside, and she said, "Your grandmother told me that you contacted Ren Pingyao at her place." I said how did you come back and be depressed, and I also said that you couldn't bear to grandma. It turns out that you are reluctant to have the opportunity to contact Ren Pingyao. ”

Han Ke didn't say anything.

He Li continued: "Your surname is Han but not Ren now, you have nothing to do with him. He does his research, he his schoolgirls, that's the kind of person, lives-"

"Mom!" Han Ke really didn't want to hear He Li say bad things about Ren Pingyao anymore, "He is my father, this is an unbreakable blood relationship, and it is useless to change his name and surname." ”

"Also, my dad didn't mess around with the students."

He Li was even more angry, "You still help him speak, what kind of ecstasy soup did he pour you." ”

"Did he take care of you when you had a fever before? What time was it not that I was tired of serving you in the hospital. ”

"Also, he has been to your elementary school parent-teacher meeting a few times, and I basically went there."

……

Here we go again, here we go again.

Every time it's like this, as long as you say bad things about Ren Pingyao, you must take out the few things you have ever done and say it.

It's been four or five years, and Han Ke is tired of hearing it.

Anyway, if you get along with He Li, don't say anything, don't talk back, and be trained silently, you can turn everything into good things, and big things into small things.

Therefore, at this moment, Han Ke was standing on the stairs, not noisy or noisy, listening quietly.

"Yo, what's going on?" As soon as Han Su entered the door, he saw his wife standing in the living room, Han Ke standing on the stairs, looking at He Li like that, he should have quarreled, he said gently, "Xiao Ke made his mother angry?" Hurry up, apologize, and go back to your room to reflect. ”

Han Ke heard what Han Su meant to play the round, and obediently took the steps, "Well, Mom, I'm sorry." ”

Then, with a bow, he turned around and walked back to his room.

Close the door and block out the sound of Ho Li's constant complaints downstairs.

The two people downstairs, one is his biological mother, the other is his stepfather, and the Ren Pingyao who has been slandered by his mother is his biological father.

He Li is a very strong woman with a strong desire to control, while Ren Pingyao is an elegant person who does not yield to the powerful.

He Li is a businessman, and she is on a business trip all year round, and she has one drink and dinner after another.

Han Ke has always been unable to figure out how these two people could be together, one is vulgar and the other is elegant, they should be two people on parallel lines, but how they intersect.

Before Han Ke was ten years old, he usually couldn't see his mother when he could see his father, but it was good for him, at least, he could know that he was also a person with a father and mother.

Although, the two of them rarely appear together.

However, Han Ke will prefer Ren Pingyao to He Li.

When he was young, Ren Pingyao would take him to the laboratory in order to take care of him conveniently.

He remembered his older siblings in lab coats shuttling through the shelves with bottles and cans, the smoke rising from the lab, and the beautiful reaction of chemical mixing.

Ren Pingyao asked him to sit obediently and not to move, he was very obedient, he really sat still, just turned his little eyes and looked around.

He is good-looking, well-behaved and sensible, and is quite popular with his brothers and sisters in the laboratory, and he also likes to get along with them.

The female student He Li said, Han Ke has also seen.

She is a very ordinary-looking girl, working as a graduate student under Ren Pingyao, usually working hard and seriously in the laboratory, and she can't wait to live in the laboratory.

According to Ren Pingyao, that sister's family situation is not very good, so Ren Pingyao will try his best to help her, and he will give priority to her for experiments or projects that can earn extra money, or submit papers to help revise them.

Of course, Ren Pingyao is not a philanthropist, if this student is not capable enough, he will not show favoritism.

It is precisely because of this that the female student especially admires Ren Pingyao, Ren Pingyao's achievements, his talent, and his pattern.

It's just worship.

When Han Ke came to the laboratory, she would secretly stuff him with snacks.

Since there is nothing to repay Professor Ren, it is always okay to take care of his son.

Han Ke knew that he couldn't eat in the laboratory, so he packed the snacks into his small backpack and planned to eat them at home.

Unfortunately, Ho Li was at home that day.

Han Ke sat on the sofa and took out the snacks in his small backpack the same.

When I got a box of heart-shaped chocolates.

He Li noticed it, and she asked, "Who bought this?" ”

Han Ke didn't hesitate, "Dad's sister in the laboratory." ”

Then, Han Ke watched a scene in which He Li unilaterally spilled with Ren Pingyao.

A box of chocolates isn't enough for a divorce, though.

At least Han Ke didn't leave until he was ten years old.

The reason why it is said is that Han Ke will prefer Ren Pingyao to He Li.

That's because, in He Li's heart, career is more important than family.

When neither she nor Ren Pingyao could take care of Han Ke, she chose to leave it to the boarding school.

Yes, give it over.

Like an item, he didn't ask Han Ke if he wanted to.

Just on the eve of being sent to school, he packed Han Ke's luggage without saying a word, and told a child under the age of 7 with his actions-

"You'll live in school in the future, and your mother won't take care of you."

Han Ke didn't cry or make trouble, silently got in the car, got off, followed the teacher, went to the dormitory, and went to class.

But after all, he is still a child, he is not adaptable enough to the environment, and in the face of a completely unfamiliar place, although the surface is calm and breezy, he still has a fear of the unknown in his heart.

Finally, on the fifth day after entering the school, he developed a fever of 39.5°C.

She was the first contact she had at school, so the teacher called her as soon as possible.

She was still in the drinking party at the time, and after receiving the call, she rushed from the hotel to the hospital drunk.

Han Ke was confused at that time, but he could clearly hear his mother calling his father to complain.

She said, "Ren Pingyao, your son has a fever and is in the hospital." As a man and a father, can you take some responsibility and soak your broken laboratory all day and tinker with a few broken bottles. Anyway, you can't make much money, so you might as well go home and take care of your son. ”

I don't know what Ren Pingyao said, He Li's face was visible to the naked eye, she raised her voice, and her voice was sharp, "I take care of him?" You're not mistaken, what about my business. Besides, I'm going to lose a couple of orders just tonight. ”

Ren Pingyao has a lecture in the field these days, and he should have promised to fly back immediately, so He Li hung up the phone.

He Li sat on the chair next to Han Ke's bed and said, "Son, look at your father, I don't come to see you when you are sick." You're too, so do you have a fever, and you're going to get me in trouble. ”

7-year-old Han Ke was lying on the hospital bed, recalling that every time he had a fever, He Li seemed to say a word-

"You're giving me trouble again."

Han Ke hated getting sick, because when he was sick, He Li accompanied him.

She will not accompany her quietly, she will only complain vigorously, slander Ren Pingyao in front of Han Ke, and educate Han Ke by the way.

Ren Pingyao should have hung up the phone and booked a plane ticket to fly back, and he came quickly.

On the issue of boarding, he quarreled with He Li in the hospital, but was stopped by the nurse.

However, this dispute, Ren Pingyao should have won.

Han Ke doesn't have to go to boarding school anymore, he just goes to a normal elementary school, and when he gets out of school, Ren Pingyao will pick him up and take him to the laboratory, and if he is free, he will go home directly.

Han Ke has always felt that He Li is a very contradictory person, obviously thinking that Han Ke is troublesome, but when Han Ke is about to have a parent-teacher meeting, he will not let Ren Pingyao go.

Unless he really can't squeeze out the time, he will let Ren Pingyao go over to have a parent-teacher conference.

Later, when Han Ke was eight or nine years old, he speculated on a possibility - because of his grades.

This speculation is not unfounded, in the past, Han Ke was the first every time, and He Li basically attended the parent-teacher meeting every time. And once, Han Ke took the third place in the exam, He Li did not say that she was going to attend the parent-teacher conference, but directly said that she was not available and asked Ren Pingyao to go.

Han Ke thought that his parents might divorce very early, but he never thought that it would be Ren Pingyao who mentioned it first.

However, after that incident, Han Ke could understand Ren Pingyao's mood very well.

It was a rainy day, and Ren Pingyao borrowed the umbrella of the chocolate sister because he didn't bring an umbrella.

The umbrella is pink and embellished with a flower petal pattern.

When Ren Pingyao arrived home, he was stopped and interrogated by He Li.

But no matter what he said, He Li didn't believe it, she only believed what she thought.

She was a vixen, even if she was a good-natured Ren Pingyao, she couldn't stand it, he roared: "You are endless, like a shrew." ”

The word "shrew" stimulated He Li, and she pulled the corners of her mouth and sneered, "Vixen? Hehe, the little vixen is no longer a shrew, you go, go to her. ”

Ren Pingyao glared at her, picked up the umbrella and turned around and walked out of the house.

He Li then followed, and Ren Pingyao really returned to the laboratory, but unfortunately, Sister Chocolate was still there.

Because Ren Pingyao was drenched in rain and his clothes were wet, Sister Chocolate took a handkerchief and helped him wipe his shirt.

It was at this time that He Li came in.

Her eyes were red, and she slapped Sister Chocolate like crazy, her strength was extremely heavy, Sister Chocolate was beaten with tinnitus, her face was numb, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Ren Pingyao was the first to react, grabbed He Li by the waist, and dragged him out hard, but his eyes looked at Sister Chocolate, and he said: "Xiao Li I'm sorry, I'll take your master back first, and I'll apologize to you when I turn around." ”

When they got out of the experimental building and arrived at the school gate, He Li refused to get into the car, and Ren Pingyao and her stood in the rain.

After a stalemate for a long time, Ren Pingyao spoke: "Divorce, I'm fed up with you." ”

He Li was slightly stunned, and immediately put a mocking smile on her face, "Okay, but the child has to belong to me, otherwise I won't leave." ”

Ren Pingyao hesitated, his voice hoarse, "Okay." ”

That year, Han Ke was ten years old and only in the fifth grade of primary school.

Just like when he went to boarding school, he was once again forced to choose.

He Li was absolutely resolute, and on the day the divorce certificate came down, she left the city with Han Ke.

When Han Ke was thirteen years old, He Li remarried.

With a man who is also married for the second time, that person is Han Su.

Han Su has a daughter, and according to him, it was awarded to her mother, and he is only responsible for paying child support.

A few days after the two of them got married, He Li took Han Ke to change his name and surname, and since then, there has been less "any" and more "Han Ke" in this world.

"Any" - in the name of my son, with your surname.

This name used to be a testimony of love, but now it has become a past that He Li does not want to mention.

It is also the past that Han Ke can't go back to.
