Shen Xiaoruo was stunned when he heard it, then slowly got up and said in a low voice: "Grandpa." But Grandpa Shen was even more angry when he saw her, and his eyes widened: "You, how can you come out behind my back to do this kind of thing, are you willing to be angry with me?" ”

Shen Xiaoruo argued: "Grandpa, what is this kind of thing?" I didn't steal or rob, I made money entirely on my own. ”

"Did I not feed you or did I not warm you? You're going to have to disgrace me, so pack up and go back with me. Grandpa Shen calmed his tone.

"It's okay to go back, but you can't force me to go to the United States."

Grandpa Shen didn't answer, Shen Xiaoruo looked at the bodyguards behind his grandfather, presumably if he didn't leave, he would have to be forcibly taken away by them, so it was better to follow the old man's wishes for the time being. Shen Xiaoruo took An Wan's hand and sneered at her: "An Wan, I'm sorry, it seems that I can't work with you in the future, I hope you still treat me as a friend." ”

I remember that Shen Xiaoruo told her before that the family is strictly controlled, and all friends must be made according to the wishes of adults. An Wan touched her head: "Of course, we will always be friends, always will be." ”

Shen Xiaoruo was dragged by a bodyguard, and when she walked to the door, she turned around: "There will be a chance for us to play together in the future!" An Wan nodded and waved, and the girl in the car looked deep, because she knew that after returning to the palatial house, she would either practice the piano or read and write every day, and there would be a tutor to supervise her every other day. Day after day, year after year, she wanted to escape from such bondage.

Shen Xiaoruo's parents died in a car accident when she was a child, and she was raised by her grandfather since she was a child, because she was an only grandson, so her grandfather had extremely high expectations for her, and she was naturally very strict in teaching.

"It's Xiao Chen's birthday in a few days, his parents are not here, you have to accompany him more as friends, after all, you have the love to grow up together." Grandpa Shen said lightly.

Shen Xiaoruo looked at the traffic outside the window and muttered in a low voice: "You have to say his birthday once a year on his seven-and-a-half birthday." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? What is the seventh and a half months, Xiao Chen's birthday is the sixth day of the seventh month, how many times I said it, I still can't remember. Although Grandpa Shen is old, his body is tough and his ears are good, "You know, back then, you and Grandpa Gu were planning to marry you, if it weren't for Youxi's delay, you would be his prospective daughter-in-law now." ”

"Thankfully not." Shen Xiaoruo muttered.

Since that day's incident, Chen Nuo will come to pick up An Wan whenever he is free, sometimes riding in a car, sometimes walking together, completely determined by mood.

Walking to the intersection, Chen Nuo suddenly turned around and stood in front of An Wan, covering her vision. An Wan frowned, smiled suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Nuo shook his head: "It's okay, there is something on your face." ”

An Wan wiped it: "Where?" Didn't you? ”

Chen Nuo stretched out his right hand and pretended to wipe something that didn't exist at all for her, his movements were slow, and he put down his hand for about a few minutes, "Okay, let's go." ”

Around the next corner, they stopped, standing still. The world is so unpredictable, and no one knows who they will meet at the next intersection.

Chen Nuo: "Mom, why are you here?" ”

An Wan was stunned, clenched the corner of his clothes and whispered: "Aunt Chen Jing." ”

Chen Jing's face still did not have a trace of kindness, she was strict at school, but now she had an indescribable feeling more than that strictness.

"An night, I hope you can call me Teacher Chen, because we are only a teacher-student relationship in name, and I remember telling you before that I don't want to see you and Chen Nuo together." Chen Jing's tone was serious and majestic.

An Wan has always had the impression of being a cold sidestander, perhaps because of the loss of her husband, she has never seen her smile, and she does not allow her son to have anything to do with her.

But An Wan didn't know that the cause of the incident was when she was a child, when her daughter, Chen Nuo's sister, suffered from the same smallpox as An Wan, but the hospital happened to have only one vaccine left, and only one child could be saved.

Chen Jing banged on the glass window outside the door, crying and begging the doctor to save her child, but the doctor shook his head and sighed that he could not do anything. She witnessed her child's body temperature slowly getting cold and his breathing weakening.

In the end, she blamed An Wan for everything, and if it weren't for her, the doctor would have saved her own child.

Chen Nuo held his sister's hand at that time until he slowly fell and was forcibly taken away by the nurse.

He looked through the window at An Wan on the hospital bed, and from then on, An Wan's life was a continuation of his sister's life. Because of this, Chen Nuo was scolded by Chen Jing a lot.

"Mom, why do you have to be so decisive all the time? As long as you don't like people and things, you won't let me like them. Chen Nuo's eyes were cold, and his thick eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

Chen Jing was still resolute: "Then you know that I have never liked her, why do you want to go against my will?" In that case, don't call me Mom. ”

An Wan gently tugged on Chen Nuo's cuffs and shook her head at him to signal not to argue with Chen Jing anymore.

"Teacher Chen, I'm sorry, you won't see Brother Chen Nuo with me again in the future." An Wan said sincerely to Chen Jing.

Chen Jing calmed her tone, not as aggressive as just now: "Okay, I believe you for the last time, I hope you will do what you say." He turned his head to look at Chen Nuo, "Don't come home with me soon." ”

Chen Nuo looked at An Wan with complicated eyes, An Wan blinked slightly and nodded lightly at him, with a gentle gaze.

An Wan asked her grandmother before why Chen Jing hated her so much, her grandmother was thoughtful, and then smiled and said that the world of adults is too complicated, what they hate and like is their business, it has nothing to do with themselves, why should they affect their mood because of the likes and dislikes of others.

Then asked Chen Nuo, he didn't say why, only said that Chen Jing was the same to everyone, and persuaded her not to think too much.

Watching Chen Nuo and Chen Jing gradually move away, An Wan kept running in the opposite direction to them, and there were countless whys in her heart, but there was never an answer.

Running and running, finally tired, stop and sit on the bench on the side of the road, look up at the sky, the moonlight is like water!

The hour hand will keep turning, and one reincarnation will return to the original point, but the previous reincarnation and the next reincarnation will always be separated by an eternal time that cannot be crossed.

There were several old men sitting on the side of the road, one of them was an old man surnamed Li playing chess, and the rest of the people were watching with interest.

The old man Zhang, who was holding the red chess, remained silent, the opponent's pawn was only two-fifths left, there were no cannons, only a rook and a horse were left to fight against it, and the red chess won the game.

The faces of the onlookers were different, some were happy, some shook their heads, and some sighed, presumably because the battle was fierce.

The old man Li who held the black chess tensed his nerves, held the horse and retreated to guard the main general, the rook was attacked, and the red chess came across the mountain with a shot, and the pawn died.

Eat, eat, and in the end black is left with a lone player and a lone horse.

If you continue to fight, you will inevitably lose everything.

Old man Li lied: "No, no, no, you win me every time, it's boring." Old man Zhang said lightly: "If you don't win, will you still lose to you?" ”

Old man Li got up and left, fled in the wilderness, and everyone dispersed. Old man Zhang cleaned up the mess, and An Wan bent his eyebrows: "If the horse is the main force, take advantage of your unpreparedness to eat your elephant and general, and the rook will eat your soldiers, your attention will protect the boss, and the black chess will have a life." ”

"I didn't expect you to be a little girl who still understands chess games, this old Li used to be on par with me, but now that I'm older, I'm getting more and more impatient." The red chess master shook his head with a smile.

Chess, Go, and backgammon are all games played by An Wan and Chen Nuo when they were children, in order to win over Chen Nuo, she spent a lot of effort on this, but with the passage of time, she may not have studied this way for a long time.
