An Yuanyao watched Liu Changqing go to the company as usual, and then started cleaning the house. Although the sprain on her foot has not been fully cured, it has improved a lot after these days of cultivation.
Although I can't move around like normal feet, I can do what I want to do without the help of others.
She just wanted to do housework right now.
An Yuanyao didn't have any very broad hobbies. When she was a student, she liked dancing and painting. When she was in college, she was obsessed with reading various ancient and modern Chinese and foreign books.
Nowadays, she likes this kind of ordinary and warm life. When she has nothing to do, she cleans the house alone.
The house that Liu Changqing lives in is the smallest and shabbiest among the houses that An Yuanyao has lived in, but An Yuanyao has no dissatisfaction with this environment.
Instead of living alone in a luxuriously decorated house, living in this kind of period house can bring her the warmth of home.
She is already very content.
After working for a long time and cleaning up the house, An Yuanyao went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then returned to the house to tidy up.
Get ready for a trip.
Because... she had made an appointment with Lan Yixian the day before yesterday, and he would accompany her to a traditional Chinese medicine shop for blood-activating acupuncture treatment on her feet.
An Yuanyao didn't have much thought, she just wanted to be friends with Lan Yixian, that's all.
In this city, An Yuanyao has lost her previous circle of friends because of her previous failed marriage, and has naturally lost her interactions with everyone.
As Liu Changqing said, Lan Yixian is a very good person, so much so that An Yuanyao, who was a little hostile to her at the beginning, gradually changed his view of her while talking to her.
A single mother was alone with her daughter. After listening to her story at her home that day, An Yuanyao felt a trace of pity in her heart.
She probably knew why the other party had a crush on Liu Changqing. Perhaps it was some similar experiences that made her feel attracted to Liu Changqing.
However, An Yuanyao is not that generous. She will not tolerate other women being overly intimate with her own men.
So, in order to avoid such a situation, the only way is to...become friends with the other party. In this case, the other party will have no impure motives when contacting Liu Changqing.
Although she had this plan, it was Lan Yixian's words that day that supported An Yuanyao's intention to be friends with him...
[My only wish in this life is for my children to grow up healthily. I don’t care about anything else. You...don’t worry.]
This is the answer given by Lan Yixian.
It was also...the turning point that made An Yuanyao want to become friends with him.
————————————————————————
Feng Qian parked his car and then joined many parents waiting at the door for their children to finish school.
It didn't take long, as the school bell rang, the quiet school became noisy, and the children walked out of the teaching building one by one.
He was picked up by parents who had been waiting for a long time.
After waiting at the school gate for a short time, Feng Qian saw two children walking out of the school hand in hand.
When Feng Shuyan noticed her father's figure, she took Liu Xiazhi's little hand and ran over. The two children stopped in front of Feng Qian, staring at him with their little heads raised.
Liu Xiazhi was a little greedy. She stared at the vendor pushing a marshmallow stall not far from the school gate and said to Feng Qian in a pleading tone.
"Uncle Feng, can I have a marshmallow?"
"Okay, Shuyan can have one too."
"Um."
Still speaking little, Feng Qian nodded his head, then asked the children to wait in front of the car while he went to buy marshmallows from the vendor.
After waiting for about five minutes, he walked towards the place where he had just parked, holding a marshmallow in his hand.
After only a few steps, he saw a woman pushing a bicycle. The direction she was walking happened to be where she parked her car.
The two children playing in front of the car noticed their class teacher and greeted him politely.
"Teacher Xu!"
Seeing the children in his class, the depressed look on Xu Yisheng's face calmed down and he pushed his bicycle to the front of the car.
"Why are you two still here?"
"My dad went to buy us marshmallows."
"You can't play on the roadside either. You have to wait in the car and don't run around."
"OK!"
The children responded in unison, and then said a few more words. Xu Yisheng was about to leave, but before he could speak, he saw Feng Qian walking forward.
After passing the marshmallows in his hand to the children, he immediately looked at Xu Yisheng.
"Teacher Xu... I just looked at your bicycle tire from the back. Is it a little flat? Is it out of air?"
After hearing Feng Qian's inquiry, Xu Yisheng was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
His expression was a little confused.
"It was obviously fine when I came here in the morning, but I don't know why the tire went flat when I went to push it after get off work..."
"Really? Let me take a look."
After saying this, Feng Qian walked to the back of the bicycle, lifted the back seat with one hand, and turned the tire with the other hand.
Soon he discovered what was wrong.
There is a nail embedded in the tire.
After putting down his bicycle, Feng Qian stood up, clapped his hands, and then said to the children's class teacher.
"If the tire is punctured, you have to go to a car repair shop to have it repaired."
"So that's it..."
Hearing this reply, Xu Yisheng didn't say much, but expressed his gratitude to Feng Qian for helping him find out the problem.
"Thank you. Then I'll go find a car repair place first. You can take the children and go back quickly."
"Um."
Feng Qian nodded and said nothing more.
Xu Yisheng pushed the bicycle, said something to the two little guys eating marshmallows on the side, and then left.
Feng Qian raised his head and looked at the back of Xu Yisheng pushing his bicycle.
Somehow... the memories started to come back.
In high school, the scene when he and Feng Shuyan's mother met for the first time was similar to the scene now...
However, his tire was punctured at that time.
Feng Shuyan's mother helped her solve this problem and took her to the place where the bicycle was repaired. She accompanied her to repair the bicycle before leaving.
Seeing Xu Yisheng's figure walking further and further away, Feng Qian shouted out of nowhere.
"Teacher Xu, wait a minute!"
The footsteps stopped, Xu Yisheng turned around with some doubts and looked at Feng Qian who stopped him. Because of the sudden turn, the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose slipped a little, so he stretched out his hand to push it.
Then with a faint smile, he asked softly.
"What's matter?"
"The car repair place here is quite far away. Let me take you there."
"Um?"
Hearing these words, Xu Yisheng was stunned for a moment and looked at Feng Qian who was standing not far away. She could clearly see that his expression was very serious.
Liu Xiazhi, who was licking marshmallows enthusiastically at the side, was shocked when he heard these words. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Feng Qian who said these words.
Feng Shuyan, on the other hand, was quietly sipping marshmallows and doing nothing else.
