There was no electric light in this old house, and the candles were flickering in the house. Yang Jinxin and Huo Donglai sat opposite each other at the small desk, and there was a steaming bowl on the table, which was made by Huo Donglai and had just been served noodles.

Bai Ziqi had already found an excuse to slip away when Huo Donglai appeared, Yang Jinxin smiled bitterly, she understood Bai Ziqi's kindness, it was nothing more than to make room for her and Huo Donglai to have a chance to be alone.

"Let's eat something first, I put old vinegar for you, and it won't taste good when the noodles melt later." Huo Dong said this, and pushed the bowl in front of her.

Yang Jinxin had an indescribable feeling in her heart, she only looked at the bowl in front of her sullenly. In this bowl, the clear soup, the green cabbage, the fried yellowish poached egg, and the rich vinegar flavor are all made by Huo Donglai completely according to her taste.

Seeing this, her eyes became hot again, but she couldn't lift the chopsticks, she wanted to talk to him, but she didn't know where to start. Instead, Huo Donglai picked up the chopsticks and handed them to her, still with the same warm voice as jade.

"Let's eat first, you've been hungry all day, if you want to say anything, eat it first, where can your stomach withstand such a struggle."

He was right, her stomach had been empty, but it was burning uncomfortably, and she really needed something to fill it. Yang Jinxin took the chopsticks, and as soon as he scooped up a spoonful of soup to his mouth, the unique fishy smell of the egg jumped into his mouth, and his stomach began to turn over the river and the sea.

Yang Jinxin covered her mouth and ran away, and after a period of disgusting retching, she was a little weak. When she came back with her stomach covered, she saw that Huo Donglai had added some vinegar to the noodles, and the eggs in the bowl were gone.

"Try it now, it doesn't smell fishy!"

This time, it was much better, and the rich smell of vinegar made her appetite wider. Huo Dong looked at Yang Jinxin, who was bowing his head and eating noodles seriously, and a faint bitterness appeared in his heart, which came to his heart, and finally turned into a gentle and faint smile on the corner of his lips.

After she finished eating, Huo Donglai automatically cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and when he wiped his hands and came out, he saw Yang Jinxin standing at the table a little cramped and looking at him, still with big and moving eyes, with a confusion that wanted to speak and stopped.

"Winter is coming...... I...... I'm leaving Jinling! ”

Yang Jinxin hesitated, but still opened her mouth, this matter had to be told to him sooner or later, even if she understood that maybe it was really impossible for her and him to get together again.

"I heard Ziqi say it." Huo Donglai walked over slowly, looking very plain and calm, and he said while putting down his rolled up sleeves.

"Jinxin, I still say the same thing, no matter when, as long as you speak, I will always be by your side, wherever you want to go, I will accompany you!"

His seemingly indifferent tone was unmistakably firm.

"You...... What's so hard about this......" Yang Jinxin bit his lip, endured the sourness in his heart, and spit out such a sentence softly for a long time.

Huo Donglai looked at her with great sincerity, held her hand tightly, and his warm voice was full of helplessness.

"Jinxin, I thought a lot after that day, I have always advertised that I am the person who loves you the most, but it is also the mud and water that I have been dragging the mud and water, which has brought us all the way to this point, I had too many worries and stumbling blocks before."

Huo Dong stopped here when he said this, and a wry smile appeared on his face, "I have always resented Qin Muyang's horizontal knife to snatch love, and it wasn't until after that day that I saw it clearly, in fact, ...... He was much more determined than I was in this matter. I...... It's too cowardly! ”

The further back, Huo Donglai's voice became lower and lower, and in the end, he lowered his head deeply.

Before Yang Jinxin could say the "no", she saw Huo Donglai raise her head again, looking at her black eyes shining with firmness that she had never seen before.

"So Jinxin, I have decided, I will always be with you in the future, no matter whether you will accept me again or not, I will be by your side like when I was a child, be your friend, your relatives, your brother, I will always be with you, so that you will always be happy."

Yang Jin's heart is warm, this is her winter, this is the winter she is familiar with and deeply in love.

She looked at him, smiling brightly all the time, and she heard the voice in her heart rush out of her heart, through her vocal cords, and finally condense into a single word on her lips.

"Good!"

This time, Huo Donglai really had a plan, although Yang Jinxin didn't understand when he started to prepare.

The next day, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Yang Jin, who had a good night's sleep, struggled his eyes and saw that Huo Donglai had already come up from downstairs with soy milk fritters, and when he saw her wake up, he smiled slightly.

"Wake up, then hurry up, after eating, I'll take you somewhere."

Yang Jinxin was very puzzled, it stands to reason that it is safest for them to live here now and wait for Bai Ziqi to send the ferry ticket. But she didn't want to question Huo Donglai's decision, so she obediently sat down at the table to prepare breakfast.

"Vomit ......"

Yang Jinxin opened her mouth, and there was another nauseous retching, and Huo Donglai quietly handed her water to rinse her mouth.

"How does it feel?"

Yang Jinxin shook his head, rubbed his stomach, and said helplessly: "It seems that my stomach is sick again!"

"It's okay, it'll be fine soon!" Huo Donglai comforted her softly, "Then can you still eat it now?" ”

Yang Jinxin frowned and shook his head: "I don't want to eat it, I'm afraid I'll even vomit out last night's things for a while!"

Huo Donglai thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, when I get to the place, I'll make you something to eat." ”

Yang Jinxin had a little doubt in his heart, but he still packed himself up and went downstairs with him. She came out in a hurry, except for a few changes in her coat pocket, she didn't bring anything, and Huo Donglai did the same, and the two of them went out like this.

In the early morning of February, the dense fog was filled with extremely heavy water vapor, and the cold air suddenly jumped into the nasal cavity, making Yang Jinxin, who had just gone out, sneeze twice, Huo Donglai took out a scarf from his pocket and wrapped her in a coat, and then pushed a bicycle from the entrance of the alley.

"Where did you get the car?" Yang Jinxin's eyes widened and he asked in surprise.

Huo Donglai smiled softly and replied: "Yesterday, Ziqi went to look for me, and he happened to meet me on the road, so he hurried over, didn't he just ride a car!"

Yang Jinxin saw this bicycle that had accompanied her almost the entire girlhood, and her mood was much better, and she sat in the back seat without hesitation, no matter where Huo Donglai went, she was willing.

Huo Donglai did not walk on the street, but walked through the narrow alleys, as if heading to the suburbs.

Sure enough, when I passed through the cluttered slums, I came to a winding, fairly flat but absolutely narrow country road, lined with woods, and occasionally a few acres of farmland in the distance.

Huo Donglai's car rode extremely steadily, Yang Jinxin leaned on his back slightly, feeling his warm body temperature, and the quiet scenery around her made her heart relax.

The further you go, the more cold and lonely it becomes, the shadows of the trees are scattered, and the shadows of the black shadows stretch all the way, leading to the unknown distance.

The car suddenly entered a corner, and behind a large area of farmland, a residential area gradually emerged from the thick fog. Far away from the bustle and hustle and bustle of Jinling City, there are green smoke coming out of the chimney above the farmhouse, and the surrounding white fog is shrouded, as if a quiet and peaceful picture is slowly unfolding in front of you.

Yang Jinxin couldn't help laughing, "There is such a beautiful place outside Jinling City, why don't I know!" ”

Huo Donglai's gentle voice couldn't hide a smile, "When I first came here, I was also stunned, and I thought at that time, I must take you to stay for a few days if I have the opportunity." ”

Seeing people talking, they have already arrived at the entrance of the village, most of the farmers get up early, many of them have already come back from the field in the morning, and they all greet him when they see Huo Donglai, and the enthusiastic appearance is obviously not the first time to come.

After entering the village, the two got out of the car, Huo Donglai pushed the car, greeted the villagers here, and took Yang Jinxin to the gate of a small courtyard.

The small courtyard was locked, Huo Donglai had already prepared to open the door with the key, and beckoned Yang Jinxin into the courtyard gate.

This is a typical small farm yard, the area is not large, but it is very clean and tidy, there are large piles of firewood stacked under the courtyard wall, there are only three rooms on the left and right, and the kitchen is outside, a typical Ming kitchen.

"How?" Huo Donglai set up his bicycle with a little pride on his face, "We lived here before we left Jinling!" ”

"Live here?" Yang Jinxin looked at him in surprise, "That'...... How did Ziqi deliver the ticket? ”

Huo Donglai pulled her into the house and said, "Ziqi, I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver the ticket."

"Why?" Yang Jinxin looked at him suspiciously, "She is my best friend, and she will definitely not betray me." ”

Huo Donglai nodded, pressed her to the stool and sat down, "Ziqi naturally won't, but his brother Bai Zijun is not necessarily, Ziqi is too simple, maybe, now, Qin Muyang has arrived at Guazi Hutong." ”

"Jinxin ......" Huo Donglai also dragged a stool and sat in front of her, looking at her deeply, "Are you real, do you want to leave Qin Muyang and leave Jinling?" I don't even care about Jin Huan, do I? ”

Speaking of Yang Jinhuan, Yang Jinxin's face no longer had a smile, and there was a throbbing pain in his heart, and he said with a wry smile: "Without me, she can live very well, I really, I don't want to stay here anymore."

Huo Donglai nodded heavily, "Okay, since you have decided, let's stay here first, and when you are better, I will find a way to take you away." Don't worry, this is where I happened to go to the countryside for free clinics to know that there is such a small village, and I originally wanted to take you to seclusion, no one knows about it, it's very safe. ”

Yang Jinxin smiled faintly at him, she believed him.

……

Huo Donglai was not wrong, when Bai Ziqi carried something, the front foot went into the melon seed alley, and the back foot, Bai Zijun took Qin Muyang and came in from the alley.

The door was opened from the outside, and Bai Ziqi's crisp voice was heard, "Jinxin, where have you been?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw her come out of it, and when she saw the person coming, her face stiffened, and when she saw Bai Zijun who took the lead, her face was pulled down.

"Brother, you're actually following me!"

Qin Muyang crossed Bai Ziqi and strode into the house, there were still some sundries that had not had time to be tidied up, there was still a strong musty smell in the air, and the only wooden bed, the neatly folded quilts were still brand new, but there was no one he was looking for in the house.

"Where's she?"

Qin Muyang looked back at Bai Ziqi, his cold voice was full of anxiety.

Bai Ziqi snorted lightly, turned her face, and craned her neck without answering.

Bai Zijun glanced at Qin Muyang, stepped forward and pulled his sister, "Ziqi, what about the fourth young man, where did the wife go?" ”

Bai Ziqi shook off his hand vigorously and shouted again and again: "I don't know! I don't know! I don't know! Even if I knew, you didn't tell you, you traitor! ”

Qin Muyang looked coldly at the furnishings in the room, turned around and walked out, and when he passed by Bai Ziqi's side, he looked at her deeply, Bai Ziqi couldn't help but shrink back when he came into contact with his cold gaze.

Just listen to his cold voice, "Take her back!" ”
