Xia Xiaobei sat on the big rock and rested for a while. She had just run away with Xia Nan and was sweating all over. This time, when the cold wind blew, she was trembling.

Suddenly he threw a coat on him: "Is it cold to you?"

She was startled and dissatisfied. She folded his clothes and sat under her butt. The sign of the clothes was exposed. She glanced at them secretly and felt guilty.

He took off his coat and exposed the close-fitting V-necked shirt inside. The authentic pure white one was blown up by the wind of the river. The real white clothes were as good as snow. He frowned and scolded her: "Why do you love to be unable to get along with yourself? Isn't it that you feel uncomfortable if you are cold?"

He was like a child being trained. She was inappropriate and obediently spread her clothes on. The coat seemed to be still stained with his warmth, and she instantly became warm.

He kept staring at her, and her face turned red involuntarily, and she turned her head to find the topic: "Are you just staying here all the time? Don't you have to go back to the company in Shanghai?"

He raised his face and smiled at her: "All my wife is gone, what company is there?"

She then blushed and sat a little further behind her back.

He sighed and looked at her thoughtfully: "Xiaobei, have I ever told you about my family?"

She was slightly surprised, a little unable to keep up with his jumping thinking. After thinking about it carefully, she said, "You told me that you were not born with your second brother."

"Well," he nodded, "You have been with my second brother for so long, and I probably know a little about my family. My dad is... Well, you know, not the same name and surname. My aunt, the second brother's biological mother, the head wife of the Lei family, is a member of the CPPCC. And my biological mother, even I don't know her family background. When my dad knew her, she was a bar singer. Maybe she was confused for a moment and gave birth to me. I had been living with my mother in a sensual place before I was six years old. When I was six years old, my mother was found to have an egg-sized malignant tumor in her skull. The financial situation at that time did not allow her to be hospitalized for treatment at all. She had no intention of treatment herself. After delaying for several months, she handed me over to the Lei family."

Xia Xiaobei listened seriously and turned his face unknowingly. Ye Shaoqian held her hand. He was clearly talking about his saddest past, but he could still smile gently and touched the top of her head: "Look at you like this, you're stupid, right?"

She opened his hand impatiently: "Don't interrupt, continue talking."

He put her cold little hand in his palm and warmed it, and his voice was like a warm warm breeze: "Later, blood relationship proved that I was the son of Lei Shaogong. The aunt accepted me, but... you know, a family like the Lei family cannot have any scandals, so... I was kept outside by servants since I was a child, and I only went back to that house once a weekend. My surname was Lei. I had to hide when I had uncles and uncles were there, and I couldn't mention my family outside. Haha..." He smiled reluctantly, and there was a lonely and cold face. "Until now, my relationship with me is still very...subtle. Later, my second brother said he wanted to come to Shanghai to develop a career, so I clamored to follow him. I was not as good as him since I was a child, and I was not a business man. I ate and drank here and made a fortune."

He showed off his ridiculous history as if he was saying something proud. Indeed, there are no ancestors of eating, drinking and having fun in Shanghai now - Master Ye. Behind the indulgence of luxury, there are also unspeakable sad things. She remembered that day, he said, "I envy the family for sitting together with Lele and eating with him." Lan Jia, a writer of the short words, often said that high-ranking officials' families have the most rules and regulations, and they pay attention to being a good match. If they are together, they will never divorce for the rest of their lives. Behind the glory, there is little true love.

"Xiaobei," he called her name in the wind, "so I didn't lie to you that day. I really like this place, my aunt, and my family's life. Maybe I had an unreal dream and wanted to become a part of this family."

"When I was twenty-three years old, I left Beijing. At that moment, I was sure that I really existed in this world, not someone's shadow, nor was I a shameful illegitimate child. When I came here and met you and your parents, I believed that there was really family affection in this world."

"Xiaobei, please stop pushing me away, okay? Let me take care of you and let you become my only relative in this world, okay?"

At that moment, the so-called defeat was like a mountain of decline, Xia Xiaobei was instantly excited. Everything was like a script he had carefully prepared. When a brilliant ring appeared in his hand, she felt that the world was turned upside down in the gorgeous light of diamonds.

If this is a dream, never wake up.

If time could stop at this moment, she hoped that tomorrow would never come.

He seemed to be able to guess what was in her mind, dragged her right hand to put a ring on her, kissed her finger and said, "Don't think about tomorrow, leave it to me tomorrow. You just need to be a happy bride."

At that moment, she realized that, four years ago, she was clawed by this hairy crab with fangs and claws.

Ye Shaoqian was embarrassed and returned empty-handed. Fortunately, Xia's mother was ready and bought two crucian carp in the market to make soup so that she would not really drink the northwest wind for dinner. But he earned the most precious thing in the world. Even when eating, his hands held her tightly, rubbed the back of her hand down the table and touched the diamond at the top of the ring. He thought that the expensive thing still makes sense.

Xia's mother also saw some clues from her daughter's shy expression. After dinner, Xia Xiaobei rushed to wash dishes, but was driven out by her mother to take a walk with Ye Shaoqian.

After the two got together, they were almost inseparable. When they went home at night, they had to say some love words across the balcony. Ye Shaoqian lived so big that he had never tried to wake up with a grin when he was lying alone in bed at night. Then he touched the phone under the pillow and continued to smile as he looked at her name.

He was not the age of his first love, and he didn't even care about his first love so much. But during that time, it seemed like he had overdrawn the happiest time of his life. Every morning, he would lie on the bed with his eyes open, wait for her to slap the door outside and call him up, carry a basket to buy vegetables with her, sit in the kitchen while choosing vegetables, listen to her complaints about the price of pork rising again today, and the heart of the vegetable was frozen hard. In the afternoon, he played chess with Dad Xia, so she sat next to him and watched quietly, and from time to time she stuffed a piece of peeled apple into his mouth.

If he played a good move, she would still give her thumbs up: "That's great, I'm scaring my dad." After dinner, they walked on the Wutong path downstairs in the faculty and staff dormitory together. She always dressed very little, jumping around like a little white rabbit, and said "so cold", he hugged her in his arms and kissed her little cold nose. She lived so close, and when she parted, she had to bid farewell to her in the corridor. The first thing she did when she entered the door was to run on the balcony and smiled foolishly.

Every day when she was with her seemed to be stolen, so when she mentioned her schedule to return to Shanghai, he was reluctant.

In fact, she was also thinking about him. After all, he was responsible for a whole trading company and the living wages of more than 3,000 employees. Before leaving, Xia’s mother packed him a large jar of kimchi and told him to come back with Xiaobei during the Chinese New Year.
