I followed the voice, and I saw him.

On that long-lost face, the youthfulness that once belonged to a young man quietly faded and became calm and restrained. Wearing a black trench coat, his long body stood in the snow.

It's Zhai Yi.

He was holding a black umbrella and walked towards me with his feet up.

"Who are you?" Jeffrey asked.

Zhai Yi still replied in English without hesitation, "I am the reason why she can't accept you." ”

There was a small uproar around. Not only Jeffrey, but even Jung Eun-seung was looking at me for confirmation.

Biting my lip, I responded, "Yes." ”

"I don't believe it." Jeffrey said.

He knew I didn't have time to fall in love, so I said, "I only ...... in September this year."

"We are old acquaintances. （We a

e old acquai

ta

CES)" Zhai Yi said, "I've known each other since I was 13 years old. （Si

ce 13 yea

s old.）”

I didn't deny it. Indeed, we knew each other 14 years ago.

I looked at Jeffrey and nodded, "I'm sorry, Jeffrey. I can't take your roses. ”

Jeffrey's blue eyes finally dimmed, and he turned around, holding the bouquet of roses upside down in one hand, and his disappointed back looked lonely and lonely. Just as I looked up at him, he suddenly turned around and asked me in Chinese, "I know you're lying to me." You just don't want to accept me, do you? ”

The only people who can understand this time are me, Zheng Encheng and Zhai Yi. They looked at each other with a hint of embarrassment, then looked away and looked at me.

In this question, the answer "yes" or "no" is wrong.

I was about to say something when Jeffrey added, "I don't believe you can forget him." The one who sent you Xun. ”

"You're right," I replied to him in Chinese, also to Zhai Yi, "I never forgot him." ”

Jeffrey looked at me silently for a moment, as if to remember or forget what I was. He suddenly took a deep breath and looked away, "Goodbye, Teresa." ”

"Goodbye." I said silently in my heart.

After Jeffrey left, the onlookers slowly dispersed. There were only three of us left. Zhai Yi glanced at Zheng Encheng and smiled at me, "Long time no see." ”

"Long time no see." I replied in a daze.

It's too much like a dream. Even though I could clearly see the white breath I was exhaling as I spoke, I could feel the wind on my face and the snow on my shoulders. It dawned on me that this scene had happened in a dream.

Zhai Yi came to me, and there was a boy standing next to me. The boy standing next to me had a vague face, but I could clearly see that the person standing in front of me was Zhai Yi. When an old friend was reunited, he easily overcame the obstacles that the years had built between us, smiling and saying hello to me.

I was slow to react, but I tried to be as generous as I could. Because Zheng Euncheng still stood beside me without saying a word.

I pointed to Zheng Encheng and introduced him, "Zheng Encheng." My good friend and classmate at UCL. ”

"Zhai Yi ......" and introduced him, I only said this sentence, then paused, thought about it and said, "Small." He's ...... now."

Zheng Encheng's eyebrows raised invisibly, because in my story, although they are all used letter pronouns, but according to the timeline exposed by the conversation with Jeffrey just now, I think he has guessed that Zhai Yi is the "Z" I mentioned.

"I'm at UOE (University of Edinburgh), Ph.D., studying dentistry." Zhai Yi took my words lightly and said.

The two of them shook hands gently, and for some reason Zheng Euncheng suddenly smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth, and said, "I chased Teresa." But it didn't work out. ”

"Really?" Zhai Yi was still smiling, "Me too." However, at that time she was not called Teresa. ”

"You ...... "What are you talking about in front of me?" I was depressed.

The two of them listened to me, looked at me in unison, and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"You talk slowly, I'll go first." I say.

“Hey！” Zheng Encheng grabbed me and glanced at Zhai Yi on the side, "Don't go." ”

I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled at him, "I'm going back to accompany my son." This is mainly for Zhai Yi.

Usually on campus, even when I talk about it, I just say "Pokemo."

I'm waiting for me", some of the other classmates listened to it and thought it was Pokemo

It's my boyfriend.

When Zhai Yi heard this, his originally unwavering face really moved, he looked at me, pondered, and finally opened his mouth, but what he said: "Can I join you?" ”

"What?" I was stunned.

I said...... Can I come to your house? Zhai Yi asked.

"It may not be convenient." I say.

Zhai Yi's face showed a faint sense of loss, and he reluctantly smiled at me and Zheng Encheng, "Forget it." I'm on my own in London. ”

Zheng Encheng glanced at me, and then said, "You go shopping by yourself?" ”

"Well, I've been in England for so long, I haven't even seen Big Ben."

"No......" Zheng Encheng said in surprise, and then showed a sudden realization, "Oh, I forgot, you went to school at Aida." Aida is in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, and it may take an hour to fly over, right? ”

"I'm coming by train." Zhai Yi smiled at him.

"How long have you been sitting?" Zheng Eun asked.

"It's only five hours." Zhai Yi put his hands in his coat pockets, and his eyes were cast on the small patch of snow in front of him.

"Counting the time you've been here, you've been sitting since last night, right?"

"Hmm."

"It's not easy on this snowy day." Zheng Encheng sighed for a long time.

Zhai Yi obviously heard Zheng Encheng talking to him, and threw a grateful glance at him.

I listened to the dark knot. A native of the Imperial City, what kind of big battle have you never seen about snow? London's current level is "drizzle" at best.

"I may, I really don't have time to accompany you to London......" I said to Zhai Yi.

I just want to get back before Madeleine's care time is over for the day. There were radiators in the apartment, give me a book, give Jin Qi a box of crayons, it was snowing outside, and it was a warm and cozy time in the house.

"I can skip shopping." Zhai Yi said, "If you are willing to invite me to your place." ”

I sighed and asked him, "Did you buy a ticket back to Edinburgh?" ”

"Teresa," Zheng Encheng couldn't help but say, "As soon as people came, they asked others about what to do and when to leave." You're not the way of Chinese hospitality......"

"I ......" The corners of my mouth twitched, and I finally didn't think of anything to refute it, and glared at him. I don't know why he suddenly helped Zhai Yi so much?

Zhai Yi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." He gave me a look, "It means that Teresa didn't treat me as a guest." ”

I was stunned. I always felt weird when I heard him call me "Teresa". In fact, it's the only name I've had since I arrived in the UK. Probably because there has never been a story between Zhai Yi and Teresa.

Zheng Euncheng waved at us, "I'm going into the café, half an hour has passed, and I'm still standing at the door." Make an appointment in another place...... Let's reminisce. ”

I gave him a slap in the face, and he didn't care, laughing heartily as he opened the door to the café. The warm smell of coffee, mixed with the scent of coffee, felt only for a brief moment, and as he closed the door, he left the two of us outside in the ice and snow.

"I'm ......," I opened my mouth first, and said to Zhai Yi, "I'm going to push the cart." ”

"I'll be with you." Zhai Yi said.

When he got the car, he said, "The road is slippery, I'll help you push it." As he spoke, he grabbed the handle of the bicycle without saying a word, and I silently stepped aside, half a step behind him.

Neither of us spoke until we were out of the campus. He looked up at the snowy sky, "The last time there was snow and you in my memory was more than ten years ago." ”

Oh, yes. I whispered in my heart, looked up like him, and quietly watched the snowflakes fall.

"Ten years." He repeated, "Time is terrible. ”

I suddenly remembered that there is a lyric in Eason Chan's famous work "Ten Years", which is suitable for the moment, "Ten years later, we are friends, and we can still say hello." ”

Zhai Yi's brows moved slightly, and a snowflake fell on his eyelashes. After a while, it fell and melted, and his voice sounded at this moment: "Ten years ago, I knew you, you don't belong to me. ”

For a moment, I didn't know what to say. He and I stood quietly for a moment listening to the sound of falling snow, and then took another step.

"Hungry?" He asked me.

"A little." I said, and then asked him rhetorically, "What about you?" ”

"Hungry. I didn't eat breakfast. "But the food here is so bad." ”

"And what do you want to eat?" I said, "I'll be home in a moment, and I can cook an S Gang dish for you." ”

“Really？” He was pleasantly surprised.

"Hmm." I said, "I still have a few bottles of sugar osmanthus and ......."

"Where did you get this?" He asked, surprised.

"Yes...... "I pursed my lips, "it was the rosary that sent it to me." ”

After being silent for a few seconds, Zhai Yi answered, "Oh." ”

He and I were both silent.

After a long time, he asked me, "Did you already know?" ”

I don't know exactly what he was referring to. But I think the answer is unequivocal, no matter what it means.

Yes, I know. I nodded at him.

A bitter smile tugged at his lips, "As a client, I'm actually the last one to know about what I've done." Ironically, I always thought it was a dream, or someone designed it. But I didn't wait for the expected threats and intimidation. Waiting for ...... On the contrary, it is a truth that shocks me more than threats and intimidation. ”

I swallowed nervously, and it suddenly occurred to me that the rosary might be telling him something different than what I had hoped to see.

"It's really you, right?" Zhai Yi looked at me, "Qiqi, he is your and my child...... Because you and I were ...... by your uncle at the same time was designed by Situ Que, so you had to leave Chen Yuyao and leave everything behind to wander in a foreign country alone...... You're just raising your children. ”

Wrong! It's all wrong!

How could this be. "Qiqi, he's ......," I stopped.

The rosary actually put me along.

If I tell Qiqi's background, it is to admit that he is not related to me. With a paternity test, Zhai Yi can take the child back from me, the adoptive mother. I am a single parent, an adoptive mother, and I spend little time with my children, and these facts doom me to have no advantage in the event of such a custody fight.

But if I don't say it, Zhai Yi will think that I am ...... is Qiqi's biological mother.

I stopped and said in a serious tone: "Qiqi, it's me and Chen Yuyao's child. Please don't get me wrong. Also, I got divorced more than a year ago. I don't want to ...... just yet. Don't want to develop a new relationship. ”

I didn't want to continue to take Zhai Yi over for a moment. But he nodded, "I see." ”

Hearing him say this, my heart was a little calm, and I was about to speak, but I heard him say, "Those just now were all told to me by the rosary." However, I don't believe a word. And what you just said ......," he glanced at me faintly, "only the last sentence, I believe." ”

The alarm bell sounded in my heart, and suddenly I felt that the speed of Zhai Yi's growth was strange to me.

"I know it's not you." He said, "Listening to the rosary, I was sure that it was her who ...... that day." ”

"Why did you adopt Qiqi?" He asked me.

"Because...... Helping the rosary, and that's me, it's my own reason. I said.

"Just follow me...... Doesn't it matter? Zhai Yi looked at me deeply.

"Nope." I didn't blink my eyes.

"You're lying." Zhai Yi said.
