The white-haired old man who was about to be in his prime, was staring intently at the font of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the sign with his crutches, You Lan approached him with gentle steps, and recognized at a glance that he should be the master before Liupinju.

"Master Chen, why are you here on this cold day?" She stood directly opposite the old man, rubbing her shoulders with her hands, and the temperature had really dropped a little bit tonight.

"I miss my relatives every festive season, and it's close to the Spring Festival, so I discuss it with my children. I have to go home for the Spring Festival this year, I originally wanted to go out for a walk, but I found that my old store was bought back, and he must have done it! ”​

Master Chen's voice sounded a little heavy, faintly cool mixed with the cold wind of midwinter.

"Do you know who bought this store? How did you agree to pass on your craft to him? ”​

You Lan once asked Cheng Hongming this question, and he simply passed it aside, but she knew very well in her heart that it was definitely not a simple matter to be able to get the ancestral ingredients of others.

"Many people have spent a lot of money to buy my family's secret recipe, but no matter how much money the other party gives, I have not let go. But one day, he came across the Pacific to the United States and came to me and told me the story of him and his beloved. The two of them originally loved each other very much, but because of the grievances of the previous generation, they were so heartbroken that they left him. His beloved woman loved my craft, but when I left my hometown for the United States, she never tasted the familiar taste again. ”

Master Chen pressed his long cane with both hands, staring at his old shop and sighing.

"So, you were moved by that story and passed on your family craft to him?"

This incident should have happened when she went to Hangzhou, she originally thought that she might be able to forget each other after a long time, but she didn't expect that they still missed each other in the end, deeply concerned!

"No, I'm old, I've never seen anything so easy to be moved! I refused his request, and then he stood in front of my house all night, and it was even colder than it is now, and there were snowflakes all over the sky. I walked out and nodded at him, and he collapsed in the snow smiling. ”

There was a hint of emotion floating in Master Chen's cloudy eyes, and he couldn't forget the scene of that night, and it still feels like it is in front of him now.

You Lan's arms holding the notebook tightened, as if something hit her heart, it hurt so much, and her voice choked and asked him, "He fell in the snow, and then ...... How's it going? ”

"It was below zero that night in Washington, and when we took him to the hospital, he had a fever all over his body. Fortunately, he loved sports before and his physical literacy was very good, so he escaped the catastrophe. He was in a coma with a high fever for two days, during which time he kept calling his girlfriend's name. ”

You Lan tried hard to cover her mouth, she couldn't cry anymore, he did it silently for her behind her back, it turned out that there were so many!

"You're the girlfriend he said he was!" Master Chen turned his eyes to the woman beside him and looked at her gently, "He said that if you can return to him one day, he will buy back the original Liupinju and ask you to be his boss!" Would you like to, child? ”

"Yes, Master Chen, I do." You Lan nodded while crying, the surging feelings have broken through the barriers in her heart, no matter what happens in the future, she will stay by his side and never be separated from him again.

"I wish your business is getting better and better, and the little days are getting more and more prosperous!"

Master Chen had an extremely relieved smile on the corner of his lips, a man who can be a woman like this, if he takes on the role of a husband, he will definitely not be far behind.

"Thank you!" You Lan's face was full of satisfied happiness, there was such a man who loved her to the bone in this life, what else could she desire for?

You Lan immediately took a taxi and went straight to Beichen Villa, the night was already very dark, what surprised her was that the carved door was not locked, she walked along the path, the lights in the villa were still on, and the password at the door had not been changed, it was still the string of numbers when she left.

She opened the door so lightly that it was some distance from the door to the living room, so that it did not disturb the man who was sunken in the sofa smoking, and there was a hill of cigarette butts in the ashtray on the coffee table, and he took two sharp puffs, and then coughed as if he had choked.

She stood quietly in the center of the living room, looking at his depressed and depressed expression, the dark green under his eyes was so heavy, he probably hadn't slept well for several days.

"Hong Ming......" She called his name softly, this name hidden in her dreams countless times, with deep distress and guilt, her washed eyes looked at him affectionately.

The man's handsome face seemed to freeze at this moment, and he slowly extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand on the edge of the ashtray, and before he turned his head, he even suspected that he was having auditory hallucinations.

Until he really saw the woman standing not far away, she was dressed a little thinly today, and her cheeks might have been a little red from the cold.

He looked at her for a moment, although it was three or four meters away, but these recent events made them seem as far away from each other.

"It's such a cold day, and it's so late, why are you here?" His gaze withdrew from her, and he still remembered that day in the hospital, Cheng Hongxin personally said that they were about to get married, and she would be his "sister-in-law" in the future, what an ironic title.

"I just met Master Chen who came back from the United States at the gate of Liupinju. I finally know how you got the secret recipe in his hand, and I know that you didn't have a good time in the days we were apart. ”

She endured the great pain, her voice was already choked up, and her tear-filled eyes looked at him deeply.

"So, you came here to see how bad I was, didn't you?"

The man's voice was cold and hoarse, and the lines of his jaw were tense, and even his nerves were tense.

"It's not! It's me who underestimated everything. I underestimated the extent of your hurt, the pain we can bear. When you left Huacheng and went to the United States, Xing'er was kidnapped, and it was Cheng Hongxin who saved our daughter. ”

At that time, the two of them were already preparing to get married, but suddenly something like that happened.

"So I guessed right, he took out 30 million, and you were forced to agree to be with him? Or were you moved by his sincerity and sacrifice, and voluntarily chose to grow old with him? ”

What the truth looks like is very important to him, and if time can be turned back, he would rather not accompany Su Qin to the United States.

"When he was saving Xing'er, he made me promise to be with him forever, and I promised for Xing'er! I know he's done a lot of wrong things before, but after so long, I've been by his side, watching him change little by little, and I can't bear to push him into the abyss again! ”

She deeply understands that her existence is the driving force and meaning of Cheng Hongxin's life, and if he completely fades out of his life, she doesn't know what crazy things he will do.

"You can't bear to push him into the abyss, but you can't bear to watch me die in the abyss, you don't want to be cruel to him, so you can only be cruel to me. You Lan, why are you being so unfair to me? ”

It is they who are obviously in love, but she has to stay by the side of other men.

You Lan walked to the coffee table, sat down next to him, stretched out her hand to draw the bangs in front of his temples, held his cheek, and her voice trembled obviously, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Hongming, it's my fault, it's me who underestimated everything." ”

The crying voice sounded in his ears, different from the countless times he had imagined before, the woman he was thinking of in his heart was so real, so palpable, she was right in front of him.

With almost all his strength, he suddenly threw her down on the couch, and the single leather couch quickly sank in, and he kissed her fiercely.

He straightened up and took her in his arms, her hands grabbing his neck so lightly that she hung over him.

The spiral escalator from the first floor to the second floor was quite long, and she stared at his decadent side, and in a trance felt as if she had missed a long whole century.

Raising her fingers to lightly touch the stubble of his jaw, it was a little prickly, but those real touches made her feel that she was really in this man's arms.

He deliberately slowed his pace, letting her hands mess around with his body, feeling the warmth from her fingertips.

Finally carried her into the master bedroom, the weight of two adults sinking the ocean-blue bed deeply.
