Time is for wandering, the body is for loving, life is for forgetting, and the soul is for singing. - Gypsy folk songs
——
Qin Nan and Qin Bei finally came home. They spent a few more days on Gulangyu Island. In these days, the two of them never mentioned anything about Ruochu. They just enjoyed the romantic time on the island. Qin Nan felt that
She once thought that her lost true love had come back, so she cherished it even more. It was like the two of them had spent another honeymoon. She knew that Qin Bei was writing a book, but Qin Bei didn't let her read it, and she didn't force it.
One day, Qin Nan suddenly said to Qin Bei: "Bei, let's go home."
Qin Bei went to pack his luggage without saying anything. He knew that she had figured it out.
When the two of them got home, Ruoqi had not finished school yet, but Ruochu was at home. Qin Nan was a little surprised to see her. Qin Bei hurriedly explained that Ruochu had taken care of Ruoqi during their absence. Qin Nan didn't say anything.
He just said "Thank you for your hard work." His tone was very gentle.
Ruochu felt sour in his heart, "Mom, I want to talk to you."
"Don't worry, I'll call you Xiaochuan. I have something to do with him." Qin Nan looked at Ruo Chu and said, Ruo Chu looked at Qin Bei in surprise. Qin Bei didn't expect that Qin Nan would return home for the first time.
One thing was to do this, but he was no longer worried about anything, so he nodded at Ruochu, who went to call Xiaochuan suspiciously.
"If you want to get married, just get married, and I will bless you." This was the first thing Qin Nan said when facing Ruochu and Xiaochuan. At this time, Qin Bei and the four of them were sitting in the living room, and Ruo Qi
Haven't come back yet.
Ruochu and Xiaochuan looked at each other, and they looked at Qin Bei in unison, and Qin Bei nodded at them.
"Just because I accept it doesn't mean I agree, but I will respect it. If you really love each other, you should get my blessing. I hope you are happy."
"mom……"
"You guys should discuss and set a date for the wedding. It can be any day. Your dad and I will attend." Qin Nan ignored Ruochu's words.
"Nannan, this matter..." Xiaochuan also felt that the news was sudden and he had no time to digest it.
"Brother Xiaochuan, I'm sorry. I apologize for my previous attitude towards you. Qin Bei and I sincerely wish you the best. I'm very happy for you and we will become a family." After Qin Nan finished speaking, no one spoke.
"Ruoruo, you did a good job while your dad and I were away. Let me cook tonight and you guys chat first." Qin Nan saw that everyone stopped making any noise, stood up, and walked out to the kitchen.
At that time, she breathed a long sigh of relief and finally said it out. Let the future events develop as they are, and it has nothing to do with her. Since Qin Bei also supports it, let's be consistent with him. After all, he is the one who will accompany her until she grows old.
.
"Mom..., I'm sorry." I don't know when Ruochu also came in and said something behind Qin Nan. Qin Nan didn't look back, "Is there anything I'm sorry about? Children are here to collect debts. Please help me."
Do you want to work?"
"Ah, yes, let me help you..." Ruochu agreed while washing his hands.
The mother and daughter were busy with the other two men they fell in love with, but they rarely communicated with each other. Ruochu looked at Qin Nan's expression from time to time, but couldn't see any clues. She felt bad, and her relationship with Qin Nan was not good.
Knowing how it got to this point, is the temporary damage really irreparable and irreversible?
With a sound of "Yeah", Ruochu cried out. He was not paying attention when cutting vegetables and cut his hand with the knife. Blood flowed out immediately. Qin Nan quickly put down everything in his hands and ran to get a small medicine box.
He treated her wounds carefully and gently. Seeing that Ruochu kept staring at her, he glared at her: "Didn't I tell you to pay attention when cutting vegetables? How can I rest assured when you are so careless?"
Tears welled up in Ruochu's eyes, and she put her arms around Qin Nan's neck and cried. Qin Nan patted her back and tried to comfort her, but then it turned into mother and daughter hugging each other.
Crying in the kitchen, Qin Bei and Xiaochuan sat in the living room and listened, neither of them saying a word.
A few days later, Qin Nan received an email from Ruochu.
Mom, Dad:
"Thank you for your understanding and support. My daughter has hurt you like that, and I'm sorry to disappoint you.
During your absence, I have been reflecting and finally understood one thing, that is, love is not just a matter of two people. Thank you for making me realize this, and thank you for giving me time to grow and take detours.
Thank you even more for accepting my relationship with Humbert in the end, for which both of us are extremely grateful.
Sorry, there is no wedding. Humbert and I are not planning to get married. We cannot be so selfish that we only care about our own happiness. Getting married is a big event. Only now do I understand the reason for your opposition. I was really stupid at the time.
I can't let Humbert call the mother he once loved his mother-in-law, and his junior brother his father-in-law, and I can't let Ruoqi call the father he admires his brother-in-law. And his godmother, if he gets married,
Becoming my sister-in-law is unimaginable.
Although I have no intention of ruining all this, but when I think that everyone will be hurt because of the selfishness of the two of us, well, this is what Humbert has always been worried about, so he has been rejecting and avoiding my love. Later,
So accept it, a big reason is for me, so please don’t blame him, he is really difficult, you have never lost this friend, now, I will give him back to you, I hope your friendship can continue
, will not be damaged again because of me.
Don't worry about me. I'm not willing to give up the person I love for other people. I love Humbert, at least for now, but falling in love doesn't necessarily require marriage, right? My wish was very small from the beginning.
Staying with him, even if I continue to be his daughter, is enough, so I am very happy now because Humbert wants me to stay with him. Maybe my daughter will fall in love with someone else in the future, maybe not, but the thought of being with him
What could be happier than being with the one you love?
As long as their daughter is happy, parents should be relieved, right?
Then, please allow us to love each other secretly. As long as it does not affect other people, we still need your blessing.
Humbert and I made an agreement to travel around the world and go to all the places in my dreams, and we decided to do it now, because life is short, and I want to seize every minute and every second I can spend with him without letting go.
I have no regrets about my life and his life.
Dad said, life is all about how you live, so let your daughter make her own choice. I will send you postcards everywhere I go. When I complete this wish, I will come back to take over my mother's work. In this way, Dad
Mom can also travel around the world, right? Let her daughter indulge for a while first."
Ruochu who loves you deeply forever
"Nan Nan, what are you looking at? You are so fascinated." Qin Bei walked into the bedroom with a pot of tea and saw that Qin Nan's expression did not look like he was dealing with business.
Qin Nan turned his body sideways so that Qin Bei could see the computer screen.
"My daughter has grown up, hasn't she?" Qin Bei sighed softly after reading, and saw Qin Nan's eye circles were red, "I am proud of our daughter, and also proud of her mother." Qin Nan smiled.
nodded.
On a luxurious train, Xiaochuan and Ruochu were sitting opposite each other in the "Northern Star" dining car, eating while watching the scenery passing by outside the window. This journey started from Paris and passed through Budapest and Bucharest.
To Istanbul, this is the famous Orient Express.
"Baby, do you really not regret it?" Xiaochuan picked up the goblet. Ruochu also picked up her own and touched it lightly with Xiaochuan. There was an artist playing violin music in the carriage. There were not many passengers, but
They were all dressed up, and Ruochu also wore a burgundy evening dress, with her hair tied up high, looking elegant and charming.
"What?"
"No status, I mean, marriage is what every woman longs for." Xiaochuan stared at her smooth neck, unwilling to look away at all.
"If I ever think about it, I just need to find someone to get married with," Ruochu replied nonchalantly to Xiaochuan.
Xiaochuan shrugged, asking for boredom, but he preferred this very relaxed way of communication. No one made any promises to each other, and he enjoyed himself as much as he could when they were together. He was not persistent or forced, and when he fell in love, he was vigorous.
lovingly.
On a passenger ship in the North Atlantic, Xiaochuan hugged Ruochu's waist and watched the sunset. This was the route from Southampton, a port city in southern England, to New York, the United States, which was the route of the Titanic. "Baby,
If you fall in love with someone in the future, you must tell me, I will give you freedom, I will just take care of you for your future lover, do you understand?"
"Okay." Ruochu said happily. No one can be sure of the future, but she knows that at this moment, she loves him. No matter if he is Daddy, Humbert or Xiaochuan, they have agreed not to get married.
They vowed to just be together, to see the lavender in Provence, to bask in the Tuscan sun, to Sicily, to Casablanca...
They still have many dreams that have not been fulfilled, and they still have a long journey to experience. They have no time to care about anything else, because there is only one life, and the person you truly love may not be able to meet, so before you miss it, seize every moment.
Every second, don't let life leave any regrets. In this way, even if the last years take away one of them, the other person can still smile and recall everything in the past, which was full of happiness.
This is the most romantic thing, growing old together with the person you love.
The sea breeze blew up Ruochu's long hair, brushing against Xiaochuan's cheeks and smiling eyes. The dusk gradually became thicker, and they just cuddled together quietly, watching the seagulls circling above their heads and watching the dolphins chasing after the stern of the boat. Xiaochuan's heart
