The last time Qin Nianxian saw Yan Zhenzhen was in 1953.

He was going on a two-month business trip, and the day before the trip, he made a long detour to see her from afar. She seemed to feel that someone was peeping at her, and glanced back in his direction, Qin Nian hurriedly dodged first.

Yan Zhenzhen looked in the direction of Qin Nianxian for a long time.

Two months later, Qin Nian returned to Kaifeng first, and took a long detour to see her as soon as possible.

There is no Yan Zhenzhen in the braised noodle restaurant, only Niu Xiangrui is quietly wiping the table outside the store. He wiped it over and over again, and suddenly spoke: "Professor Qin, come out, I see you." ”

Qin Nianxian walked out embarrassedly, Niu Xiangrui didn't look up: "We have opened a noodle restaurant here for ten years, and you have secretly watched it for ten years." Now you don't have to look at it, Zhen Zhen left a month ago. ”

Qin Nian was blinded for a moment: "Where did you go?" ”

Niu Xiangrui looked up at him, his eyes full of mockery: "Heavenly." ”

Yan Zhenzhen left because of an illness. Niu Xiangrui began to wipe the table again, and his hand holding the rag was exposed: "When she left, she was still shouting your name, and it was nothing for me to tell you, Yan Zhenzhen, the person she likes has always been you." ”

Qin Nian subconsciously retorted: "She's not ......"

Niu Xiangrui sneered: "At that time, you were squeezed by the entire Kaifeng cultural circle, and if she didn't leave you, would you want to watch your efforts for more than ten years burn down?" Back then, she asked you to go back to school, not so that you would sink at the bottom of society with her. ”

Qin Nianxian had a loud "boom" in his head.

Niu Xiangrui threw away the rag and sat down, telling Qin Nianxian a story that was very old. It has to start from decades ago, the eldest lady took a rickshaw to the garden alone one day, and she saw a little rickshaw driver squatting on the ground and writing "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" with a branch, crying while writing. She thought it was strange, how did a little coachman learn such a complicated chapter? Later, she talked about it with her playmate, who knew everything about the county, and told her that the little coachman was the son of a stonemason, and that the stonemason had died in an accident a while ago, so the little coachman had to drop out of school to support the family. The eldest lady felt that the little coachman was really pitiful, so she asked her father to help find the principal of the school where the little coachman used to study......

The turning point in his life was originally given by her. He thought he had saved her, but he didn't know that she had saved him many years earlier.
