Zheng Fan sent Zhang Nanyan back to his residence first, and told her to rest well in the past few days, don't think about anything, don't care too much, and wait for him with peace of mind.

Zhang Nanyan agreed.

After Zheng Fan left, she simply freshened up and went to bed, and slept peacefully until almost noon the next day.

After sleeping well and being very comfortable, she got up, tidied up her room, bought groceries, cooked, read books, and wrote down the feelings of this journey that she said she was leaving...... She followed Zheng Fan's advice, lived with peace of mind, and waited with peace of mind.

The only thing is that she only stays at home and barely leaves the house except for grocery shopping. She closed her eyes and ears, did not think about the development of the situation, did not listen to the gossip, in this small world, she calmly waited for the final verdict.

Since Zheng Fan left that day, he has never returned.

One day, two days......

Five-day, six-day......

10 days......

Twenty days......

The small rental house is like the last desert island in the world, isolated and peaceful.

The loudest noise was nothing more than the little couple upstairs quarreling, and the girl left in a bad mood; The migrant couple downstairs moved, perhaps to a better place to live, or to return to their hometown; Every morning at six o'clock, hurried footsteps would be heard in the corridor, heavy men's leather shoes, crisp women's high heels; Every night, after nine o'clock, the footsteps of returning are sounded one after another.

Sometimes, the voice outside happened to be heard by Zhang Nanyan. Sometimes, when she goes out to buy groceries, she happens to meet a strange neighbor. Sometimes, when she is tired of writing, she stands in front of the window and casually sees the figures of people who are happy or tired.

In this world, all kinds of things are happening all the time, and everyone's stories of joys and sorrows are happening.

She doesn't know other people's stories, and other people don't know her stories.

Zhang Nanyan doesn't know, in the past 20 days, Zheng Fan and Xia Baiping have been stormy, or have they died down? Is it a resolute goodbye, or is it a long-term relationship?

The only thing she could do was wait, waiting for an outcome that she couldn't control......

She finally waited for the moment when the ending was revealed.

On this day, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Nanyan, who was choosing vegetables, shook his hand, and a handful of soybean sprouts fell back into the pot.

Zhang Nanyan immediately stood up, took a deep breath, and walked out of the chair.

Her arm knocked down the corner of the dining table, and with a muffled thud, the table moved five centimeters outward.

She didn't bother setting the table and walked quickly to the door.

Squeezed her fingers hard before she reached out to open the door.

The door opened......

Zhang Nanyan's gaze was first confused, and then immediately became natural, and then lost, in just a few seconds, her gaze changed complicatedly.

There was a woman standing outside the door, about forty years old, plump and rich, well-maintained, and dressed with a very temperamental attitude.

The woman looked at Zhang Nanyan solemnly.

"Looks like you've guessed my identity."

The woman's tone was a little strange, like someone who didn't speak Chinese often.

Zhang Nanyan was even more sure of her guess, she lowered her eyes and replied, "You are Teacher Xia's sister, I didn't expect that you would come to me." ”

"My name is Xia Zhen, you can call me Jenn."

"Please come in."

Zhang Nanyan let Xia Zhen into the house.

After Xia Zhen entered the house, he looked at the furnishings in the house, and praised with a smile: "Your home is very tidy." ”

Xia Zhen's gentle attitude surprised Zhang Nanyan a little, she thought that Xia Zhen would definitely hate her, not to mention beating and scolding, at least she would speak coldly.

However, there is no difference, no matter how good Xia Zhen's attitude is, her arrival itself has already explained the final result.

Zhang Nanyan waited for Xia Zhen to say that result.

"Zheng Fan is now by my sister's side."

Zhang Nanyan's heart finally fell, and after so many days of worry, this moment finally fell. And as for the first thing she felt, it was relief, not sadness.

Xia Zhen asked, "Aren't you angry?" ”

Zhang Nanyan lowered her eyes and replied, "Teacher Zheng and Teacher Xia have been married for ten years, if they can untie the knot this time, it would be the best." ”

Xia Zhen carefully observed Zhang Nanyan's expression, she nodded, and said, "You are good, no wonder Zheng Fan is willing to give up everything for you." ”

"He'll be with my sister because my sister is in the hospital right now, and she just woke up from a coma a day ago."

Zhang Nanyan raised her head abruptly and asked in surprise: "How could it be ......?"

"She killed herself."

Zhang Nanyan couldn't believe it and couldn't help but stammer.

"Yes, she actually had to commit suicide to force Zheng Fan's mercy. I have always considered myself a new woman, and I firmly believe that a marriage without love is the greatest misfortune and should be divorced decisively. However, she is my sister, and she would rather use her life to save her marriage, what else can I say?

I can only help her, come to see you, ask for your exit. ”

Xia Zhen started from the beginning of the story.

"Our parents immigrated to Maple Leaf Country in their early years, and I was brought to live in Toronto by my parents when I was eight years old, and Xiaoping was born in Toronto. It can be said that we were raised with Western education, and I never imagined that Xiaoping would eventually choose a traditional Chinese love and marriage.

It's strange that Xiaoping was born and raised in Toronto, and she has never returned to China, but she likes to listen to her mother talk about Chinese poetry and songs, and legends.

By the way, our mother used to be an actress in Huangmei Opera, but after arriving in Canada, she lost the opportunity to perform, and she has always regretted that she always wants to pass on her opera to us.

Supposedly, when I was younger, my mother was often taken to the theater to watch her rehearse with her colleagues and watch them perform on stage, which should be more acceptable to me. But I am more interested in Western freedom, while Xiaoping is fascinated by traditional Chinese culture. At the age of eighteen, she was even more clamoring to go back to China to study at university.

She returned to China with a longing and yearning for Chinese culture and began her youthful adventure.

I don't know the beauty, romance, and enthusiasm of this, but through Xiaoping's letter, I know that she is in love.

In the letter, she said that she had met the love of her life, a wise, handsome, affectionate, romantic knight, who was both a rigorous scientist and a romantic poet. Xiaoping was deeply fascinated by him.

If it weren't for the accident that happened later, I believe Xiaoping would have gotten the most satisfying love.

There is a Chinese proverb that people have good and bad luck.

Just when Xiaoping was about to graduate, news suddenly came that she had a serious car accident.

My parents and I immediately flew back home.

When we arrived at the hospital, three days had passed since the car accident and Xiaoping's surgery had been completed. She fractured her lumbar vertebra and lost the opportunity to stand up.

We met Zheng Fan, who was also injured and hospitalized, in Xiaoping's hospital room. He was luckier than Xiaoping, although he looked like he was covered in bandages, but he was all flesh wounds, the most serious was only a fracture in his left forearm, and there were no serious fractures.

As soon as he woke up, he struggled to get to Xiaoping's hospital room, and kept guard, refusing to leave.

I finally met the knight whom Xiaoping admired and fell in love with immensely, although it was on such an occasion that no one wanted, but it was undeniable that he was indeed as handsome and romantic and affectionate as Xiaoping said in his letter.

Just because he insisted on protecting Xiaoping despite his injuries, I already recognized him.

Indeed, he lived up to the trust of Xiaoping and our family.

When Xiaoping woke up and learned that she would be disabled for life, she collapsed on the spot, and she couldn't accept such a reality.

She is the most passionate and moving girl, but in the second half of her life, she can only be like a bird with broken wings, losing her sky, how can she not be in pain?

She closed herself off and didn't see any teachers, classmates, friends, even Zheng Fan.

My parents and I plan to take her home in the hope that time will heal her trauma.

What we didn't expect was that her boyfriend, Zheng Fan, actually proposed to Xiaoping in the ward.

The medical staff, our family, Zheng Fan's parents, and the visiting classmates were all shocked, and in full view of everyone, Zheng Fan knelt on one knee, took out a ring from the pocket of his hospital gown, and begged Xiaoping to marry him.

I still remember what Zheng Fan said at the time, he said, 'He had prepared this ring a long time ago, but he didn't have the courage to propose.' Proposing marriage under the circumstances at that time was not what he wanted, because it was an unsightly act to take advantage of Xiaoping's vulnerability, but even if he took advantage of people's danger, he had to do it, because he was more afraid of losing Xiaoping than these. ’

Everyone tactfully persuaded him to think again. But he firmly said, 'The love of my life, if she doesn't marry'.

Xiaoping cried and hugged him.

At that time, Zheng Fan only hugged Xiaoping with his intact right hand, which I still remember. I'm almost sure that Xiaoping will be happy for the rest of her life, even if after a few years of marriage, Xiaoping gradually refuses to contact her family more, and her parents always refuse to invite them to go on vacation to Toronto, and I just think that this is a dull period for their marriage, and they will eventually get through all the difficulties. Even, when I returned to China this time and saw my sister who was in tears and on the verge of collapse, I still felt that the love between them had triumphed over life and death, so what could not be overcome? ”

Xia Zhen paused, remembered Xia Baiping's condition, and sighed deeply:

"Xiaoping told me about Zheng Fan and you, she wiped away her tears fiercely, and said, 'That's fine, when she is pregnant, Zheng Fan and I will have a child, and we can be together for the rest of our lives.'"

I scolded her for being stupid and despicable, but Xiaoping said sadly, 'As long as I have a child, Zheng Fan will not leave me, and we can be together forever.' ’

I know that Xiaoping's approach is very wrong, life has smoothed out her pride, and her disability has caused her to fall into sensitivity and low self-esteem.

To put it bluntly, it was she who sent Zheng Fan and you together, and it was she who ruined their family with her own hands.

I stopped listening to Xiaoping's crazy words and immediately called Zheng Fan, hoping to stop everything from happening before it made a big mistake. However, the phone could no longer be reached.

Xiaoping is still self-righteous, she thinks that Zheng Fan will not abandon her and choose you, and she is still looking forward to you giving birth to a child for her to maintain her family.

Paranoia has corrupted her intelligence, and she has made the stupidest decisions. ”
