Everything in the world will eventually become a thing of the past. - Og Mandillo
——
When Qin Bei arrived at Gulangyu Island, he did not go back to his villa directly, but found a hotel to stay.
Before he arrived, he could confirm that Qin Nan must be here. As expected, although there was no one at home when he went, he found Qin Nan's suitcase and some simple daily necessities in the bedroom, kitchen
There was food in the room. Qin Bei felt relieved and was not in a hurry to see Qin Nan. Instead, he left a note and posted it on the door of the bedroom. He made sure that Qin Nan would see it and then left with peace of mind.
.
Originally, he wanted to find her immediately and clarify the misunderstanding, but Qin Bei thought about it all the way on the plane and found that Qin Nan really needed to calm down. Her running away was definitely not just because of her lies. Since she had persisted for so long, then why not
She couldn't figure out why she would run away just for this, and it was useless what others said, so she decided to give her some space.
Qin Nan settled down and went for a walk. As soon as she returned to this place, she felt much calmer. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this was her spiritual home. When she was tired and hungry, she wanted to come back and cook.
, it is really easy to cook dinner for one person, not to mention that she doesn’t eat much herself. When cooking, she will think of home. I wonder if Qin Bei and Ruo Qi will be used to eating the food cooked by the nanny, and they are still afraid.
Yuan Jingshu was not used to having someone else cook for her suddenly. Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but sigh. But then she thought about it, why bother? Now that she has made up her mind, she just has to give up everything. She had told Ruo Chu about cooking before.
You should have a peaceful mind. Even if you are cooking for yourself, you should not have any selfish thoughts, right?
It had been a long time since she had lived alone. Qin Nan thought of the time when she first arrived in the United States and before Ruo Chu was born. Life was very simple at that time. Like now, she suddenly felt very relaxed. Maybe such days would not last long.
Days, but even if it’s only one day, enjoy it.
After taking a rose bath and preparing to go back to the bedroom to rest, she saw Qin Bei's note. Qin Nan read it over and folded the note. It seemed that he understood her.
Several days passed like this. Qin Nan got up early and went for a walk on the island to breathe fresh air. Then he came back and made himself a simple breakfast. He spent a few hours reading in the morning. There was a small library in the villa.
, I will go to the island to look for delicious food at noon, sometimes I will take a rest in the afternoon, sometimes I will play the piano, and I will take a walk in the evening, and then come back to cook dinner for myself. In the evening, I will handle emails through the Internet.
She never gave up on the matter, but she no longer took over everything. She just spent a few concentrated hours reading the reports of various departments.
And Qin Bei didn't waste these few days. He hid in the hotel and wrote something during the day, and at night he went to the beach where he and Qin Nan reconciled. They sat there for several hours. Even though he was alone, he didn't feel anything at all.
He doesn't feel lonely at all. During this time, he can write new books, talk about things, and get fully close to nature. In short, his mentality is much better than when he was at home. He also said that he and Qin Nan would travel together, isn't that right now? Although the two
We didn't get tired of being together, but we knew each other's positions, and we were each cautious and reflective. Within a few days, he felt as if he had been completely transformed.
Finally one day, it was late at night. Qin Bei got up on the beach and prepared to go back to the hotel. Another day passed, but he was not in a hurry. He would come again tomorrow night. He even fell in love with this kind of life. At least there was someone to go back to.
Let him wait. When he turned around, he saw a figure standing not far behind him. He couldn't see it clearly in the moonlight, but Qin Bei sighed softly. She was finally willing to come.
Qin Nan was wearing a long nude linen dress, her hair was pulled up high, and she was not wearing shoes. When Qin Bei noticed her, she slowly walked towards him.
"Hi, how are you?" Qin Nan took the initiative to say hello.
"Are you okay? My Moonlight Goddess?" Qin Bei took two steps and took Qin Nan's hand. Her hand was cold. Qin Nan hesitated for a moment, but finally did not refuse, and just let him hold her.
They were walking hand in hand on the beach. The sound of the waves was very gentle, but it was just the background of the night. The moonlight was bright and clear. Qin Bei could clearly see Qin Nan's subtle expression, which was very peaceful and made him feel at ease.
"What if I don't come? Do you want to keep waiting?" Qin Nan raised his head slightly and squinted his eyes to accept the sea breeze. After settling in the recent period, he felt that his mentality was much better and he could enjoy it calmly like Qin Bei.
It's moonlight.
"You won't not come. I'm sure. Even if you really don't come, I said in the message that you will wait. I will only wait for you in this life."
"north……"
"Stop talking, listen, are there any seabirds calling?"
Qin Nan listened carefully, smiled and shook his head.
Qin Bei hugged Qin Nan into his arms, "Listen carefully..."
So Qin Nan closed her eyes and felt that this embrace was really warm. It was as warm as many, many years ago and had not changed at all. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, as if she also heard the happy calls of seabirds.
"Nan, I love you..."
Qin Bei's breath blew softly in her ears. Qin Nan thought of that night, the integration of their bodies and minds, and the integration of nature. The blush crept onto her cheeks again. It turned out that everything was perfect.
Nothing has changed, what has changed is my own heart.
"I love you..." Qin Nan blurted out from the bottom of his heart.
Qin Bei pulled her to sit where he was, and still held her in his arms without making any next move. When true love sublimates and transforms into family affection and eternal dependence, there is no need for passion to add color to this night.
Qin Nan remembered what someone said, when you really fall in love with someone, you just want to hold him and fall asleep happily, and don't think about anything else. At this moment, sex has retreated into the background, not because they are no longer young.
.
"Baby, do you still remember when you were a child and you pestered me to hold you and count the stars?" Qin Bei put his chin on Qin Nan's head and looked up at the night sky.
"Why don't I remember, but it's a pity that we can't see the stars on the beach." Qin Nan said with regret.
Qin Bei drew stars in the sky with his fingers, and Qin Nan smiled as brightly as a peach blossom.
"Bei, let's not go back."
"good."
"Alas..." Qin Nan sighed. It's easy to say. Not everyone can stay in a paradise. As soon as they return to reality, all the troubles will come back, and there are many of them. No matter how you escape, you can't escape.
Unless they both really decide to die here.
Qin Bei kissed her hair, how could he not know what she was thinking. "Baby, the real paradise is in our hearts. Sometimes the world makes us impetuous, and sometimes reality blinds our eyes, but
When you are willing to calm down, you will find that everything is actually there, just like the me who held you and watched the stars, I will still hold you and watch the stars decades later, even if there are no stars or seabirds in the sky
Screaming, but these are all in our hearts, as long as you are willing to pay attention..."
"You know what? If you're unhappy, I'm twice as unhappy."
"Bei..." Qin Nan tilted his head and leaned on Qin Bei's arms.
"Nannan, let's let go. Everything has come in time. We still have the rest of our lives, which belong to us. No one can disturb or influence us. Likewise, we don't need to worry about others anymore. Except for Ruoqi,
As long as he comes of age, what do we have to worry about? The Qin family will be theirs sooner or later, and Ruochu will definitely be able to take care of it..."
"Ruoruo..." Qin Bei finally talked about Qin Nan's heart problem. She really didn't know how to treat her.
"I know you still can't think about it, and I also know that you are worried about the rest of your daughter's life, but her life is hers after all. We are only responsible for bringing her into this world, giving her life, and raising her up. In the future,
She has to walk the road by herself. No matter how she walks, it has nothing to do with us. Even if she is unhappy in the future, it is her own choice. At least she will not regret it. And we have given advice, even if it is
When it comes to our obligations and responsibilities, what do you think?"
"But, she is my daughter..."
"She is mine too. Believe me, I love her no less than you do. But I also believe that my daughter will be happy. She has this ability. Look at the happiness she has brought to us since she was a child. We still need to be grateful.
Is she? Then, just give her freedom and let her fly in her own direction. When she gets tired and wants to come back, she will still be our daughter, right?"
"Bei, I find that I can't help you more and more."
"Haha, because actually you are thinking the same thing as me, just because you are a mother. All mothers will inevitably be emotional when facing problems with their children. This is the reason why all mothers are great."
"Are you talking about me being emotional?" Qin Nan turned his head and looked at Qin Bei unconvinced.
"Isn't it?" Qin Bei said with a smile.
"Have it?"
"You, you always think too much. When we fell in love before, you not only had to consider Xiaoqing, but also Zheng Fang, Xiaochuan, and Rita. You just refused to consider me. If you do this again
, what’s the difference between that and feudal parents who oppose their children’s free love?”
Qin Nan frowned. Is she really as bad as Qin Bei said? But thinking about it, she is really like this.
"Nan, let go, okay? Even if it's for ourselves." Qin Bei gently shook Qin Nan's shoulders.
Qin Nan didn't say anything for a long while, and Qin Bei didn't make things difficult for her, "Baby, can I go back to our home on Gulangyu Island? It's been so uncomfortable to stay in the hotel these days."
"I'll think about it." Qin Nan said seriously.
"Ah? So, oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that I did lie to you that time, just because I was going to buy you a wedding anniversary gift. Then when I came out, Sun Miao came to talk to me again.
I said a few words, but I did go to buy a gift that day, which was the set of underwear for you the next day..."
"Bei, stop talking, I'm sorry, I'm just stingy." Qin Nan felt a little ashamed.
Qin Bei felt relieved, "I hope you are stingy and jealous to show that you care about me, but don't hold it in yourself in the future. It will hurt your body and the loss will outweigh the gain. It is better to get angry at me directly, you know?"
Qin Nan blinked, "How about, in order to make up for my misunderstanding of you, I allow you to go home and live there?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Nan was picked up by Qin Bei and carried all the way back to the villa.
