The air is filled with the unique smell of late autumn, and in the Tingxiang Garden, in addition to the sweet smell of ripe flowers and fruits, there is also the aroma of food.
Cheng Ming and Qin Churou have been busy for a while, and several dishes have been placed on the dinner table, all of which Zhang Qiang and Yan Yanqiu like to eat.
At this time, there was a sound on the courtyard door, and then Yan Yanqiu's loud voice came: "We are back -!"
Qin Churou immediately ran out and gave Yan Yanqiu a big hug. The two chatted immediately, completely ignoring the presence of other people. Zhang Qiang knowingly stepped aside and came to the kitchen when he met him.
Cheng Ming came out with two plates of side dishes.
"came back?"
When she saw Zhang Qiang, Cheng Qiang smiled sweetly. She was dressed extraordinarily beautifully today. Although she was wearing an apron, she was still charming. Zhang Qiang looked a little silly.
"I'm back." Zhang Qiang smiled slightly, came to Cheng Ming's side, sniffed her neck gently, and said, "It smells good."
At this time, Yan Yanqiu and Qin Churou came jumping in. Seeing the two of them looking like this, they all covered their mouths and started laughing. "Where is the fragrance?" Yan Yanqiu shouted.
"Of course..." Qin Churou was about to speak, but Cheng Ming had already said first: "Of course the food is delicious. If you talk too much, you won't get anything to eat!"
The two girls all stuck out their tongues and hugged Cheng Ming as they walked into the kitchen laughing and joking.
Zhang Qiang took a deep breath, looked at the food on the table, listened to the laughter from the kitchen, smiled slightly and said: "It's good to be home..."
While eating, watching Zhang Qiang and Yan Yanqiu devouring their food, Cheng Ming couldn't help but feel a little distressed. While serving them food, she asked, "Isn't there something delicious in Russia?"
Yan Yanqiu shook her head: "It's not as delicious as I expected. Fortunately, I'm still a quarter of Russian descent, so I can't get used to it at all. Besides, I've been busy traveling these past few days, and I eat more airplane food than regular meals.
.”
"Really?" Cheng Ming turned to Zhang Qiang, "Are you so busy?"
Zhang Qiang smiled and said nothing.
"Did the auction go well?" Cheng Ming asked again.
Zhang Qiang nodded. Yan Yanqiu opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but when Zhang Qiang glanced at her, she quickly swallowed her words.
Before they came back, they made an agreement and said nothing about Zhang Qiang becoming a "refugee".
Cheng Ming knew there was something fishy going on here, but she didn't ask further questions. Instead, she nodded and said, "As long as it goes well, let's eat. Take a shower later and rest early."
It was late at night and the yard was quiet.
The faint laughter of her and Qin Churou could be heard in Yan Yanqiu's room. The two of them hadn't seen each other for several days, and there were endless new things and topics to talk about, so they slept in the same bed that night...
...
After Zhang Qiang took a shower, wiped his hair and walked into his room, he saw Cheng Ming changing the sheets and bedding for him. "It's getting cold, so you should cover yourself more. Don't be brave just because you are in good health, you know?"
?" Cheng Ming said when he heard Zhang Qiang coming in.
Zhang Qiang smiled slightly, put down the towel in his hand, walked behind her, and gently hugged her waist. Cheng Ming straightened up, rested his head on Zhang Qiang's shoulder, was silent for a while, and said, "In Russia, it's
Didn't something happen?"
"No." Zhang Qiang shook his head.
"Then I'll ask Yanqiu tomorrow. She won't lie to me."
"Really not." Zhang Qiang turned Cheng Ming's body over, looked into her eyes, and said with a smile: "It's just a little trouble, and it's all solved."
"A little trouble?" Cheng Ming looked at Zhang Qiang with an expression of disbelief on his face. "Your little trouble is a big trouble in the eyes of others. Fortunately, you were clear-minded and didn't bring Yan Qiu with you when the accident happened?"
"Of course I didn't take her with me." Zhang Qiang shook his head.
"I shouldn't have asked Yanqiu to accompany you. She is stupid and bold. She is not afraid of anything. If anything happens, she will just rush in front of you."
"That's true." Zhang Qiang nodded.
"You still say that?" Cheng Ming raised her hand and lightly hit Zhang Qiang, "Tell me, did you go to Russia to participate in the auction or for another reason?"
Zhang Qiang smiled slightly: "Guess."
"I don't want to guess." Cheng Ming shook his head, remained silent for a moment, and said, "I don't want to know anymore. I just want to ask you, what are your plans for the future?"
"Intend?"
"Yes, what kind of things do you plan to do and what kind of person do you plan to be in the future?"
"Of course you can do whatever you want." Zhang Qiang said with a smile.
Cheng Ming looked at him and shook his head slightly: "This world is not something you can do whatever you want. If you don't think about it now, you may not have the chance to think about it in the future."
Zhang Qiang was silent.
In the past, he might have scoffed at this, but now, he knows that what Cheng Ming said is right. This world is completely different from the world in his previous life. The rules of survival here are more complex and advanced. It requires you to have
Be smart enough to deal with it. Otherwise, sooner or later you will be beaten to death in front of it.
Zhang Qiang had already failed once in his previous life. Although at that time he thought he was only one step away from success and it was just bad luck. But now he knows that even if he is given a chance to do it again, he is doomed to fail.
.
Because success requires not only courage, but also wisdom. Sometimes, the latter even far surpasses the former...
"You should rest early." Seeing Zhang Qiang fell into deep thought, Cheng Ming said softly. Gently pulling his hand away, Cheng Ming walked towards the door. After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned around, looked at Zhang Qiang and said:
"I've thought about it and decided to help you."
"What?" Zhang Qiang was stunned, turned around and looked at Cheng Ming, "Are you willing to help me?"
Cheng Ming nodded: "You really need help now. And I don't want to delay Yanqiu. She is so young. If she doesn't go out to do something in her career, her life may be wasted."
"That's great!" Zhang Qiang was overjoyed. He walked up to Cheng Ming and hugged her in his arms. "You are so kind, so kind..."
Cheng Ming closed her eyes slightly and suddenly sighed softly: "By helping you, I am actually helping myself."
Zhang Qiang nodded: "Don't worry, I won't let you down."
A wry smile suddenly appeared on Cheng Ming's face. She shook her head and said, "I will never rest assured. Alas, who made me decide to stay with you for the rest of my life? It's my own fault..."
