Chapter 12: Wish-Granting
Holding a mortal heart as she wished, she was bored, and she only remembered at this moment, what is the use of asking for this? So she began to wait, and when Chen Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, she came back by herself.
But a day passed, ten days passed, and half a month passed, and Chen Yuan still didn't come.
However, the cooking pot purchased online by Tangdu arrived, and more than a dozen recipes were intimately included in the manual, and he looked at the ingredients on the board, thinking that there was a lack of someone to wash the vegetables for him now.
Bang
Tang Du tried to cut the chicken wings into flower knives.
Bang
Tang Du threw away the chopped chicken wings and re-studied the chicken legs.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, who
"......" Tang Du turned around, glaring angrily at the painting scroll that floated behind him like a spirit behind him, and made some movement from time to time to attract attention, "If you wish, is there something wrong with you?" β
"Boss!" jumped out of the painting as he wished, "Chen Yuan doesn't regret it, but I regret it, I can get Chen Yuan into the painting, and I can still have someone to accompany me to relieve my boredom, but what do I want to do with a heart, bloody and can't speak." β
As he wished, he began to tear up again.
Tang didn't want to pay attention to her, lowered his head and continued to fight with the ingredients.
Chen Yuan sat behind the cash register, picked up every item and scanned the code, his hands were a little shaky, but these days, he has adapted a lot, at least not like before, he can't pick it up.
The shopkeeper was still suspicious, "Chen Yuan, I see that you don't seem to be feeling well, otherwise I will approve you to take two more days off, you go to the hospital to take a good look, is there something wrong with it." β
Chen Yuan shook his head, "It's okay." β
There was no need for him to go to the hospital.
What he has to do now is to work hard and be by Si Tian's side.
Late at night, near the end of work, a black figure quietly appeared in the store, Chen Yuan saw the young man's gloomy face, and was a little scared. Tang Du approached Chen Yuan and sniffed it twice to confirm that it was the smell.
"Barbecue, fragrant barbecue." Tang Du wasted countless ingredients, blew up the kitchen, and couldn't make any food, "How do you do it?" β
Chen Yuan reacted for a while, only to understand what Tang was talking about, and was about to speak, but Tang Du had already lost patience, he went directly to the freezer to get two plates of meat, took Chen Yuan back to the store, and let Chen Yuan cook it himself.
Seeing Chen Yuan as he wished, he was very happy, "It's really too painful, Chen Lang, if you can't stand it, I'm willing to plead with our leader for you!" β
"No...... Not necessarily. Chen Yuan wanted to say that he was here to cook.
Tang Du pushed his wish away, "Don't get in the way." β
Since she couldn't leave the scroll for too long, she got a negative answer, and she had to return to the painting disappointed.
Tang Du got his wish and ate the barbecue he had been longing for, and Chen Yuan felt that he had completed his task and wanted to leave.
"Wait." Tang Du raised his eyebrows, "Don't have anything to say?" β
The young man was in a very good mood, and if he made any requests at this time, he might not nod his head. Chen Yuan dragged his body, which was already numb to the point of pain, and said lightly: "I don't regret my decision." β
Having a happy home is Chen Yuan's dream and the belief that supports him to grow up. What should a home look like? In the past, Chen Yuan would say: "There is me, there is my wife, and there is my daughter." β
And as he said, his body is already like this, and Sakura has also committed suicide, the reality is far from his dream, what is there to be nostalgic, now let go of everything, isn't it just a relief?
However, Si Tian's words made him wake up to the fact that it was because he hated the selfishness of his parents that he came to this day, if he let go so easily, what was the difference between him and his mother who abandoned him back then?
Sakura is his wife, he is Sakura's husband, Si Tian is his daughter, he is Si Tian's father, he has used his narrow-mindedness to destroy Ye Sakura, and now he wants to destroy Si Tian?
"It's not that I don't want to die, it's that I can't die!" Chen Yuan said firmly.
Tang Du had a cumin grain spinning on the tip of his tongue, listening to Chen Yuan's words, he pondered for a moment, summoned his wish, and said two words in his ear, this time he was extremely excited, "Boss, are you serious?" β
"Seriously."
"Good!" As he wished, he took out the box containing Chen Yuan's heart from the painting, and jumped up and down in front of Chen Yuan, "Chen Lang, I will return the heart to you, we said that in exchange, you can give me freedom." β
From now on, she can walk freely in the outside world if she wishes, not limited to a painting, so she naturally doesn't need to pull Chen Yuan in to accompany her.
Happiness came too fast, Chen Yuan couldn't believe it for a while, and as he wished, he had already probed into the void and returned his heart to its original place. The body temperature slowly rose, and the pain gradually lessened, Chen Yuan stumbled, and the black and white world seemed to be rejuvenated.
Everything is back to the way it was.
No, no, it seems to be different.
"As a thank you gift for the barbecue, our leader specially asked me to cure your illness." As he wished, he used a fan to block his face, and smiled. Chen Yuan looked at the young man who had been cold and ruthless before, the young man stretched out one leg and was slumped on the sofa and picking his teeth.
Chen Yuan smiled, it turned out that it was just a knife mouth and tofu heart, he thanked him again and again, thinking that he could live a good life with Si Tian when he went back, but he still had a pimple in his heart, and he also cherished her......
"By the way, remember to leave the sauce recipe for marinated barbecue, this is the secret of the delicious barbecue." Tang Du pointed to the counter, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, there was a booklet spread out on the counter.
Chen Yuan glanced at it, a little surprised, and then seemed to suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
He wrote down the recipe, turned to leave, and leaned over curiously as he wished, "It turns out that even if there is no sea bass incense seal, his wife will be crushed and jump off the building because Chen Yuan is infected with pneumonia and commits suicide." β
In this way, Tang Du also saved Chen Yuan's life.
Wrong......
As I wished, the more I thought about it, the more strange I felt.
In the end, she suddenly realized, "Because I can face myself, Chen Sitian and Chen Yuan opened their hearts, encouraged him to see his own value and responsibility, and also saved him by collecting the operation fee at the end of his life, you have been planning to keep Chen Yuan alive from the beginning, barbecue or something......"
Tang Du lay on the sofa and stretched his long waist, "Barbecue or something, it's really delicious." β
"Boss, you count me!" As she wished, she waited for twelve years, a full twelve years, but she didn't catch any hair on Chen Yuan!
But it's okay, at least she's free now.
"Calculation? Only half right. Tang Du put on an eyepatch to cover his cunning.
Half a month laterββ
The Baohai Hall is still very tightly sealed, and the blackout curtains are drawn, and it is dark.
Tang Du was wrapped in a pink and tender blanket, eating melon seeds for a while, drinking Coke for a while, and the melon seed skins were thrown everywhere, but the house was miraculously dusty, and even the messy shelves earlier were neatly tied.
In the kitchen, the smell of barbecue wafts through.
Wearing an apron as I wished, I was finally sure that I was pitted!
"Boss, you're not exchanging with me for Chen Yuan at all, you just want to find someone to help you with chores!"
"This is the price of your casual opening of the door and the collapse of your boss and me." Tang Du sneered twice, blinked, and pulled out the blue contact lenses in his eye sockets.
As for why Dai Meitong pretends to speak to outsiders, that's another story.
"Dad, I took the first place in the class at the end of this semester!"
Si Tian took the certificate of merit, and couldn't wait to come to the store after school to report the good news to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan looked proud, and promised to make a good meal at night to treat their little champion, and put a few electrical appliances on the top of the shelf. Si Tian couldn't help but sigh: "Dad, the doctor you met this time is so powerful, and your lips are no longer blue." β
Because the matter of Baohaitang was too strange to say, Chen Yuan was afraid of scaring Si Tian, and he was also afraid that Si Tian would not believe it, so he said that he had changed to a new doctor for her.
Chen Yuan touched Si Tian's head, "So, Dad's health is getting better and better, and we can make more money, and we will soon be able to repay the borrowed money, and we can still have our own savings." β
So, everything is going in a good direction, right?
Si Tian was doing her homework seriously in the store, and when Chen Yuan got off work, the father and daughter could go home together. Si Tian bit the pen and thought about a difficult problem, and when she looked up, she saw an unkempt old aunt on the side of the road, picking up the leftover bread that others had eaten.
"Dad, she's so pathetic." Si Tian couldn't help but say.
"What?" Chen Yuan followed Si Tian's line of sight and recognized the woman, she was a guest who was also stormy, Chen Yuan had seen her once, so he felt compassion, took a few rice balls, poured hot coffee, and asked Si Tian to send it to the other party.
"Auntie, eat this, the bread is hard." Si Tian said softly.
"Thank you, you're a good boy......" Qiao Jing took the coffee, looked up as she spoke, but when she saw Si Tian's face, she recognized her, and then ran away in a hurry as if she was stimulated, and didn't take the rice ball.
Si Tian felt inexplicable, and went back to the store to tell Chen Yuan what had happened, Chen Yuan couldn't figure it out, so he asked Si Tian to leave it alone, "It's strange to say, I always feel that she is a little familiar, but I can't remember when I saw her." β
Si Tian said casually: "Maybe it's the kind I've really seen before, the kind that passed by." β
"Possibly." Chen Yuan didn't take it to heart, and continued to concentrate on putting price tags on the new electrical appliances on the shelves.
Qiao Jing panicked, didn't know where she ran to, stumbled under her feet, and fell. When the soil was eaten in her mouth, her teeth hurt and Qiao Jing had a sour nose and couldn't help but shed tears, because of the pain and because of the grievances.
Why did she fall like this?
Why!
"Auntie, are you alright?" A moon-white brocade ribbon floated down in front of her, Qiao Jing raised her face, and a woman wearing a Luo skirt and combing her hair in a bun stopped in front of her, carrying radish and cabbage in her hand.
Next to the woman, a young man wearing a black windbreaker and a mask looked at her, and said with a smile in his voice: "Auntie, you are injured, my store is nearby, let's help you go and take a rest." β
