Chapter Two Hundred and Nine: Loose Threads
When Jiang Wan'er left the hospital, she always felt a loss of heart. She understood that she still couldn't let go of that person. Just as she was sitting alone in front of the window with great worries, she seemed to have sensed her thoughts, and Luo Kaiwen's phone call came.
"Wan'er?" His voice was not so sure, as if he was afraid that he was dialing the wrong number.
After so long, I can still remember her mobile phone number and I am a dedicated man.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Wan'er adjusted her breathing evenly and tried to make herself seem to be careless.
"How is the baby?" Luo Kaiwen asked.
"Very good." She answered briefly.
"Tomorrow, let's meet together and go to the Chinese restaurant we often go to." Luo Kaiwen said confidently, "See you at 7 o'clock tomorrow evening."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone without asking Jiang Wan'er if he had time.
Jiang Wan'er was still holding her cell phone, staring out the window stupidly in a daze.
She couldn't help but think that Luo Kaiwen was so sure that she would obey her arrangements and meet someone she shouldn't have seen again?
She suddenly remembered the lyrics of Lin Xi - When you come, I still can't fly...
Yes, as soon as he comes, she is done. This is the law of nature.
Didn’t it be said in "Animal World" - what is the natural enemy? She thought that Luo Kaiwen was her nemesis of Jiang Wan'er, the demon star in her destiny, and pushed her to jump into hell...
Life, if only as if it were the first meeting...
How great would it be if everything stayed on the day when they first met and met. She was still a simple and innocent little girl; he was still his businessman, and he was very happy every time he received a order. Two people, two worlds, have no intersection line, do not interfere with each other, do not invade each other.
Without a start, there will be no mistakes; without a mistake, there will be no pain. All struggles are not because they cannot get it, but after they get it, they cannot let go.
Why can’t I let go? How can I put myself in such an unfortunate situation?
Mingming, she met Luo Kaiwen first. Mingming, the person Luo Kaiwen fell in love first was her. If it weren't for Ye Li's sword robbing love, how could Luo Kaiwen marry someone he didn't love for responsibility and morality? And then the re-encounter and entanglement of the subsequent re-encounter, whose fault is it? She was wrong, or Luo Kaiwen was wrong?
Some people say that the tears shed for love are bitter, why do people still have to fly into the flames even though they know they are going to be injured?
Perhaps, from the day Luo Kaiwen married Ye Li, she should stay away from him and withdraw from his world from then on.
============
The next night, Luo Kaiwen sat in the deserted restaurant, and his heart gradually became cold, just like the winter weather - this was the first time, Jiang Wan'er rejected him.
He originally thought that just one word or even a look of his eyes could make Jiang Wan'er look back. Everyone knows how much she loves herself, Luo Kai's style of writing is.
But this time, he was wrong. Jiang Wan'er said nothing, but gave the clearest answer with her own practical actions.
Luo Kaiwen sat blankly in the private room, ordering no dishes, but just ordered a bottle of Shaoxing rice wine.
The misty hot air gradually cools down in the air.
Looking at the wine glass in front of me, listening to the songs flowing through the speakers.
"..., say goodbye with a smile, and you will definitely see you again. If you have a clear heart, you can see forever..."
Forever, what is forever?
Luo Kaiwen raised his head and drank all the rice wine in his glass, and was surrounded by bitterness in an instant.
How many roads do you have to know whether it is right or wrong after you have passed it?
How many people know that they are their favorites after they leave?
He knew where he was wrong. He shouldn't have chosen Ye Li at the beginning. When he chose to be responsible for his actions and entered the church to hold a wedding with Ye Li, he lost the qualification to have Jiang Wan'er.
As the night became deeper and the wind became colder, the singing that followed the shadows continued to ring:
"..., I can't forget you, my smiling eyes. That's you, letting the parting be clearer, I'll watch your back until today..."
We will see you again on a sunny day...
Luo Kaiwen was silent for a long time. When the rice wine was cold, he owed to stand up and left.
Because he had been sitting by the window and his eyes were on the table, he did not see that outside the window, there was a figure standing in the bleak wind for a long time.
The thick hat and scarf make it difficult for people to see the person's face. The only thing that can be seen is his thin figure and his eyes full of tears...
============
January 1st New Year's Day, the weather is clear and the sun is shining.
Ye Hongtao came to pick up Tao Jiujiu and was discharged from the hospital. After a whole afternoon, they finally returned to Jincheng Garden.
"Hong Tao, thank you for being busy with wine for the whole day." Qin Xiaofeng sincerely expressed her gratitude.
"What are you grateful to me, Aunt Tao, I am Jiujiu's fiancé, I should." Ye Hongtao took the opportunity to reiterate the old story, "Besides, have you already negotiated with my parents about our marriage before? I'll be together sooner or later!"
Qin Xiaofeng was awakened by a word and asked immediately: "By the way, when will you choose a ring with Jiujiu?"
"Let's drink and drink before taking a few days off." Ye Hongtao revealed concern in his tone, "She has just finished the operation and has only been recuperating for half a month, which is too little..."
"Hong Tao!" In the room upstairs, Tao Jiujiu called out loudly.
"I'm here!" Ye Hongtao felt that his behavior could be described as "on call".
"I want to resign." Tao Jiujiu replied.
"Resign, why?" Ye Hongtao was puzzled: "Aren't you doing a good job in the company? Why did you resign?"
"But that's not the job I like." Tao Jiujiu raised her face and smiled embarrassedly at Ye Hongtao, "I have found a job I like now, so..."
"So, I'm going to fry my boss?" Ye Hongtao's face was comparable to bitter melon.
"Don't say that. There is a saying that is "It's more beautiful if you have distance." If we continue to be together every day, maybe you will start to hate me soon." Tao Jiujiu explained with cleverness, "If that were the case, I would rather keep a distance from you now, so that the 'shelf life' of love can be longer."
"'Love Shelf Life'?" Ye Hongtao asked back.
"Yes." Tao Jiujiu smiled brightly, "Distance is the fresh-keeping box!"
"Then, can I ask, what is your new job?" Ye Hongtao's eyes were filled with surprise.
Tao Jiujiu did not hide it and said with a smile: "Auntie Jiang and Wan'er and her daughter opened a 'love baking house' on Zhonghua Road. I plan to invest, and I also want to go over and help."
"You can make bread?" Ye Hongtao's eyes widened.
"It will be soon." Tao Jiujiu patted her chest and promised, "At that time, you will definitely be the first person to taste my skills. How about it, are you looking forward to it?"
"This..." Ye Hongtao reached out and touched his nose, and gave serious advice, "I have only tasted your scrambled egg longevity noodles that night. I think if you open a noodle restaurant, your business might be better. However... the birthday cake you prepared for me that day was also delicious, not to mention that it was made by your friend. From this we can see that both of you will be as good as the result of opening a noodle restaurant or a bakery!"
