When the plane in New York, USA, landed in the city of S in China, the genius was hazy.

It's been four years, and I've been away from S City for four years, looking at the oriental faces around him, Fang Zhiqi is full of joy.

I couldn't wait to get into the taxi, and the car galloped all the way towards Lao Qi's restaurant.

Looking at the familiar scenery outside the car window, the past came to mind one by one, some happy, some sad, some bitter, some sweet, but it was always that person who silently supported her, comforted her, and cared for her behind the scenes.

His gentleness and thoughtfulness touched her, greedy, and after losing her loved ones, she found in him the long-lost affection, in his home where he had a place to live.

The hand subconsciously touched the Guanyin pendant around her neck, and in the past four years, she has been blaming herself all the time. In this life, she didn't feel sorry for anyone, but she owed him too much!

By the time the taxi arrived at the restaurant, it was already dawn.

The two locust trees in front of the court have grown into towering trees, there are two more marble tables under the trees, and the flowers and plants around are much more lush than four years ago.

The people live on food

Food safety first

At this point in time, Lao Qi should be busy in the vegetable garden, Fang Zhiqi guessed.

went around to the vegetable garden, and sure enough, I saw Lao Qi bending over to weed there. The first rays of the morning sun shone on him, and set a golden border around him.

"Big brother!"

Hearing the familiar shout, Lao Qi straightened up, turned around, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Fang Zhiqi, who he hadn't seen for four years, and then immediately rejoiced and ran over.

"Kiki, you're back! Big brother wants to kill you! Lao Qi hugged Fang Zhiqi excitedly, tightly, tightly......

"Big brother, I'm sorry!"

"Don't say I'm sorry, it's good that you're back! Let Big Brother take a good look at you! ”

After speaking, Lao Qi let go of Fang Zhiqi and looked her up and down with a pair of small eyes. Compared to four years ago, she is more beautiful, more mature, and more feminine now.

"Where have you been all these years? Big brother is looking for it so hard! ”

"Big brother, I'm sorry!" Fang Zhiqi's face was full of humility.

"Okay, don't apologize! I'm back, so let's accompany my big brother! ”

Fang Zhiqi nodded.

"Let's go, let's go inside!"

Lao Qi took Fang Zhiqi's shoulder and entered the house with a smile on his face.

Familiar rooms, familiar furnishings, familiar everything, everything......

It turns out that no matter how glamorous she is outside, no matter how much money she makes outside, no matter how noisy she is outside, only this place gives her a sense of belonging, intimacy, a warm and homely feeling.

"How have you been out there these past few years?" Lao Qi built a cup of jasmine tea and handed it to Fang Zhiqi.

"After leaving S City, I went straight to the United States and finished my studies! Yesterday, I won the gold medal at the World Jewellery Design Competition! Fang Zhiqi only reported good news and not bad news, and she didn't mention all the hardships she suffered in the first year.

"It's worthy of my little sister, my eldest brother is really proud of you!" Lao Qi was overjoyed, as if the person who won the award was himself, "I have to celebrate today!" ”

After speaking, he seemed to remember something, and saw Lao Qi pick up the cardboard and pen and write a few big words, "Closed today, temporarily closed!" ”

"Big brother,"

Lao Qi interrupted Fang Zhiqi's words, "In the heart of the eldest brother, you are more important than everything!" ”

Fang Zhiqi was stunned, it turned out that she had such an important place in her eldest brother's heart.

After the cardboard was hung, Lao Qi quickly tied his apron, "Qiqi, big brother go and make breakfast, it'll be fine right away!" ”

With that, he hurried into the kitchen.

Looking at the busy back, a taste called 'happiness' quietly rose in Fang Zhiqi's heart.

Looking around, there was no trace of the hostess in the store, Fang Zhiqi couldn't help but wonder: Is the eldest brother still single?

With a full stomach full of suspicion, Fang Zhiqi pushed away Lao Qi's bedroom.

The bedroom is neat and clean, although he is a big old man, but he is never sloppy in life, which Fang Zhiqi knows very well, what disappoints her is that there is no woman in the bedroom, and all the furnishings are still the same, and the wardrobe is full of men's clothes.

Thinking that he hadn't married a wife yet, Fang Zhiqi became anxious, thinking: He is 35 years old this year, and in the eyes of modern girls, he is already at the level of an uncle. In a few years, he will run for four, and it will be even more difficult to marry a woman with simple feelings in the future.

"Kiki, come down for breakfast!" Lao Qi shouted on the first floor.

Fang Zhiqi came down in response.

There were all kinds of breakfasts on the dining table, and Fang Zhiqi's mind flashed back to the various breakfasts that Lao Qi had made for her in the past. Suddenly, she felt the need to do something for him.

"Big brother, where's my sister-in-law?" Fang Zhiqi picked up the egg, peeled it, and asked unintentionally.

Lao Qi was stunned, "How can I have a sister-in-law?" ”

"Big brother, why don't you find me a sister-in-law? People your age and children can make soy sauce. ”

"Big brother didn't bother to look for it! That's all for this life! Lao Qi lowered his eyes and said lightly.

"How's that going to work? There are still decades left in this life! Fang Zhiqi stood up anxiously.

Lao Qi raised his head, a trace of entanglement flashed in his eyes, and after a while, those small eyes were full of affection, "Big brother just wants to guard you!" ”

Fang Zhiqi was taken aback, looked at Lao Qi in disbelief, and said incoherently: "Big ...... Big brother, you ...... Are you kidding? ”

"Kiki, big brother is not joking! If it weren't for the brotherhood with Shangguan Nan, the eldest brother would not have buried his love for you in his heart. An infatuated man, once he has true feelings for a woman, it is difficult for him to like her again. ”

Fang Zhiqi was sluggish, the amount of information today was too much, and she couldn't get back for a while.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Lao Qi said the words that had been buried in his heart for many years by himself, "Big brother said this, not to ask you to respond to anything, big brother just wants to tell you that big brother will not marry her in this life, he just wants to guard you all his life, even if you get married one day in the future, big brother will silently guard you." ”

Fang Zhiqi's eyes moved, and she met the hot gaze, and she couldn't say what she felt in her heart, it stands to reason that she should be happy to have a man who is so affectionate, sexual, and beloved to her. But there was no trace of excitement in her heart at all, because she couldn't give him what he wanted, and her heart had already been stolen by Shangguan Nan.

Now, she doesn't want Lao Qi to be hurt; He didn't want his life to be flawed; I don't want him to die alone for the rest of his life.

"Big brother, this is not fair to you! Kiki isn't worth it! ”

"It's not a question of whether it's worth it or not! It's the eldest brother's heart, since I met you, other women can't enter my heart. If you can't even give each other a sincere heart, then why do you get married, isn't this more unfair to her? "Lao Qi insisted that he had seen it.

"Big brother!" Fang Zhiqi shouted hysterically.

"Kiki, don't worry about big brother, don't be stressed! This is the eldest brother's own business, you just need to live yourself with peace of mind. ”

"Big brother, I won't hide it from you. This time I returned to China, one is to see you; The second is that I want to become a monk. ”

Fang Zhiqi knew that Sensei said that the eldest brother, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to fall in love with other men in this life. No matter how good, gentle, and considerate the eldest brother is, in her heart, she only treats him as an elder brother. The eldest brother has a saying that is very right, if you can't even give each other a sincere heart, isn't it even more unfair to him?

So she couldn't promise him, and Shangguan Nan was her robbery, but she couldn't separate his family for selfish desires and force Gu Panpan to give up Shangguan Nan. Even if Shangguan Nan had the means to make Gu Panpan divorce, that ending was not what she wanted to see.

Instead of living in the painful feelings of a love triangle, quit for peace.

"Why do you want to become a monk?" Lao Qi was stunned.

"I want a pure life."

"Did Shangguan Nan go to disturb you?" Lao Qiyi said.

Fang Zhiqi was silent.

"Kiki, are you really sure? To become a monk is to renounce the three worlds: the realm of desire, the realm of color, and the realm of colorlessness. ”

"I know! I stayed abroad for four years and saw through the world's worldly things; Not to mention the emotional matter, big brother, you know. Fang Zhiqi was desperate.

Lao Qi shook his head and sighed, it seems that he has no chance to achieve positive results with her in this life, she would rather choose to become a monk than choose him, alas! That's it, that's it!

"Kiki, you want to become a monk, you can. But is it possible to become a monk at home? ”

"A monk at home?" It was the first time Fang Zhiqi had heard that he could not be a monk in the temple.

Lao Qi nodded, "Practice at home." I used to have a friend who was also a monk at home and practiced at home. ”

"Good! But I'm afraid that Shangguan Nan will come to harass me! ”

"The heart does not move, everything does not move, the heart does not change, all things do not change. If the mind is already detached, then there is no distinction between being at home and being a monk. If the mind does not leave, it is nothing more than moving from one form of home to another. ”

When he said this, Lao Qi was actually selfish. Even if he plans not to marry for the rest of his life and guard Fang Zhiqi for the rest of his life, if the two can support each other until the end of their lives, even if there is no skin-to-skin relationship and no love between men and women, for him, as long as she is by his side, this is the greatest wish.

"Big brother also knows Zen?"

"The friend I just mentioned often told me about Buddhism, and I talked about it a lot of times, so I naturally remembered a few words."

Fang Zhiqi nodded.

……

Since then, Fang Zhiqi has really become a monk at home, during which Shangguan Nan, Ling Xiao, and Xu Tingsheng have come to look for her many times, but under her pure heart and few desires, they have gradually accepted the fact that she has become a monk.
