It was still the same steps, and Lin Ye and Lao Chen were still sitting side by side.
The Supreme Sage returned to the palace soon after dinner, and Xie Yunxi and his children followed him back.
At this moment, in this small courtyard, it was as if the air was frozen here. The two people sat in silence for a long time.
It wasn't until the moon in the sky was tired and hid behind the clouds that Lao Chen let out a long breath.
"I don't blame you."
Lao Chen lowered his head and said.
"never."
Lin Ye said: "Actually...it might be more reasonable if you blame me, after all..."
Lao Chen interrupted Lin Ye: "How can there be so many? After all, I have spent most of my life blaming myself, blaming fate, and blaming others. It's just that I didn't say it, but I never blamed you."
Lin Ye became silent because of these few words.
Old Chen raised his head, looked at the looming moon and said, "Everyone says that I am an honest person and a coward, but honest people and cowards will also blame others in their hearts, but I don't want to say it out loud."
"When women ran away from home, others called me a loser, and Weiwei did the same, saying I didn't even have a temper... It's not that I don't have any, I just don't want to show it to others."
Lao Chen said: "Who can I get angry at? It was that woman who hurt me, not Weiwei, so should I get angry at Weiwei? At the neighbors?"
He took his eyes back from the moon, glanced at Lin Ye and said: "I lost my temper with you and blamed you, and then I
Is this right to sever ties?"
Lin Ye couldn't answer this sentence.
Lao Chen always looks so cowardly, but Lao Chen has never been a person who doesn't understand the truth. Perhaps, all the cowards in this world are because they understand some truths and have such a personality.
People who are unreasonable and do not understand the truth will probably never be cowards.
"Before Weiwei reaches the last step, he should have countless opportunities not to go on. I know that you have given him a chance, and the court's laws have also given him a chance. Whenever he can stop somewhere, he should stop.
When he stops, you will give him a hand."
Old Chen exhaled again.
"If it's gone, it's gone. If he were still alive, he would be unhappy every day, resenting others every day...and tired."
Lin Ye still didn't know how to answer the call.
"I'm fine."
Lao Chen said: "It's just that it's a little uncomfortable to live in Geling City. If you are free, can you send someone to take me back to Yunzhou City? It's more comfortable over there. I don't want to avoid you.
, I don’t want to hide from anyone, I just think Yunzhou is better, Geling is prosperous, beautiful, everything is good in Geling, but it’s not as good as Yunzhou.”
Lin Ye was silent for a long time and nodded: "Okay, I will arrange for someone to send you back to Yunzhou."
Old Chen smiled.
It was really a smile from the heart, and it seemed that this smile did not appear on his face as often as it did in Yunzhou.
"Do you know what you plan to do when you return to Yunzhou?"
Lin Ye asked him.
Lao Chen nodded: "I must have planned to pass it...but what else can I do? I think I'd better go back to the street."
Go up and sell shredded chicken noodles."
He looked at Lin Ye and felt guilty because of these words.
"I know that with your current status, if I go back to sell shredded chicken noodles on the street, you will be humiliated. They could call me a coward back then, and they can call you heartless now, but they dared to do it in front of me back then.
I scolded him in front of him, but now I don’t dare to do it in front of him.”
Lao Chen said: "I know everything, but I still think Yunzhou is better."
He even thought that if he returned to Yunzhou, even if he met those who laughed at him back then, he would go over and say hello warmly. If possible, he would even want to hug them.
“It’s good to sell shredded chicken noodles.”
Lin Ye said: "If the weather is good, we go to the street to sell. When the weather is bad, we go back to our shop to sell."
Lao Chen nodded vigorously: "I know, I'm not stupid...but when the weather is bad, I don't have to sell it."
Lin Ye smiled.
Old Chen also laughed.
"Will it take a long time for you to go to Yunzhou again?"
"It'll take two years."
"Two years... It's not that short, but it's not that long. I'll just wait for you in Yunzhou. Remember to bring your wife and children back with you."
Speaking of this, Old Chen became emotional.
"Who would have thought that the eldest lady from Yunzhou could become your wife? If you had told me back then that you would marry her as your mother-in-law, I would have said you were crazy."
"What now?"
Lin Yewen.
Old Chen laughed and said, "Now I believe whoever you tell me to marry as your wife. If someone says he doesn't believe it, I think he is crazy."
Lin Ye laughed loudly.
Lao Chen looked at Lin Ye's smile and subconsciously raised his hand to lightly touch Lin Ye's head.
He rubbed it gently. This was really a subconscious action, so he regretted it soon after making this action, and even started to feel that kind of panic again.
Lin Ye raised his hand and put his hand on top of his head.
"The Supreme Saint has never been like this."
Lin Ye smiled and said: "I am more accustomed to you being like this. If the Supreme Saint is really like this, I will be a little uncomfortable."
Lao Chen immediately said seriously: "That's your fault. You are the prince and the son of the Supreme Saint. How can you think like this?"
Lin Ye smiled and said, "You are indeed the reasonable one."
Old Chen stopped talking.
Lin Ye said: "Are you planning to return to Yunzhou as soon as possible, or wait? It's almost winter now, and walking this way in winter will be more tiring."
Lao Chen said: "If I am afraid of being tired again, then I will no longer know who I am."
This sentence is the knot of Lao Chen’s heart.
This is not because he is being pretentious, but because he really often thinks about who he is after arriving in Geling.
Living in the house arranged for him by Lin Ye, the soldiers on duty were all so respectful when they saw him.
Living in the house arranged for him by Chen Weiwei, the servants who served him always avoided him.
So he always forgets who he is. He tells himself time and time again that you are the guy selling hot noodle soup on the street of Yunzhou City, but the people around him tell him time and time again... No, you are not.
, you are not anymore.
"That's okay."
Lin Ye said: "I'll have someone prepare it early tomorrow morning. I won't be back for a while to help you pack your things."
Lao Chen: "I'll do it by myself. I can do it by myself."
Lin Ye looked at him.
Old Chen smiled: "Okay, you can help me"
I."
Lin Ye stood up and said, "I'm going to clean up now, and you go cook two bowls of noodles."
Lao Chen said: "Isn't it just a short time after dinner?"
Lin Ye said: "Are you reluctant to part with it?"
Lao Chen stood up quickly: "I'm going here and there, but I don't have chicken shreds from the county at home. It's so late, so I guess there's nowhere to buy them."
Lin Ye said: "You can cook noodles in plain water, but you must cook them yourself."
Lao Chen agreed and walked forward, but suddenly stopped after taking a few steps. He had just woken up. Lin Ye just wanted to eat the noodles he cooked, because he might not be able to see each other or eat the noodles he cooked for at least two years.
Meet.
Thinking of this, Lao Chen's heart tugged again.
A little pain.
"Am I a little willful?"
Lao Chen turned around and asked Lin Ye.
Lin Ye said while packing things: "You are an elder, why can't you be willful as an elder? If you are always willful as a junior, what kind of bullshit is that? Besides... you don't think so.
What kind of willfulness."
Lao Chen said: "When people get old, they should actually rely on their children."
Lin Ye said: "Shut your stupid mouth and go cook noodles quickly. If you keep talking nonsense, you really don't want to go back to Yunzhou."
Lao Chen hesitated for a long time, and finally thought he should cook noodles first.
After he walked into the kitchen, Lin Ye stopped packing. After a while, he picked up Lao Chen's pipe, lit it, and leaned against the door to smoke.
Lao Chen is always so meticulous in cooking noodles, even if there is no shredded chicken.
When Lin Ye packed some things, Lao Chen walked into the house carrying two bowls of noodles.
At this time, in the yard
Suddenly a dark shadow flashed, Lao Chen was startled, but Lin Ye remained unmoved.
When Zina jumped over the wall and came in, she was still carrying Xiaohan on her shoulders...
When Xie Yunxi was going back with her children just now, Zinai was worried and had to send them home before coming back. She was also worried about Xiaohan when she went out, so she had to carry the dog after jumping over the wall when she came back.
After entering, she noticed that the door was not closed.
"What's wrong!"
Zinai didn't wait for Lin Ye to speak before he struck preemptively: "If you don't close the door at this late hour, what if someone comes in?"
Lao Chen: "I forgot."
Lin Ye: "You won't scold her?"
Old Chen chuckled: "Why should I scold her? Xiao Zinai is always right."
Zinai walked to Lin Ye, skillfully held Lin Ye's thigh and sat on Lin Ye's feet: "Let me hang for a while."
Lin Ye: "How old are you?"
Lao Chen: "Can't you just let her go?!"
Lin Ye: "Can..."
Zina looked at the two bowls of noodles on the table: "Just two bowls?"
Lao Chen: "I only cooked two bowls because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to catch you when you come back. But I made a lot of noodles, so I'm going to cook them for you now. You and your brother will eat the two bowls first."
Zinai stood up and stopped hanging.
She pushed Lao Chen down on the chair and said, "I'll cook it myself, and you and my brother will eat first."
Lao Chen: "How can you cook noodles..."
Zinai turned around: "How dare you look down on me? Xiaohan, yell at him."
Xiaohan rushed over to Lao Chen and rubbed his head against Lao Chen's leg.
Zinai glared at Xiaohan when he saw him like this.
Soon after, Zinai came out with two basins in each hand, one basin of noodles and one basin of noodles.
Osamu
This guy actually cocked his head and looked into Zina's basin, probably because he wanted to see if it was different from Zina's side dishes.
Zinai sat down with a basin, and Xiaohan squatted at her feet.
"I told your brother just now that I want to go back to Yunzhou."
"Go back, there's nothing good here."
Zinai replied vaguely while eating the noodles in big mouthfuls.
Lao Chen continued: "I plan to continue selling hot noodle soup after I go back."
Zinai still responded while eating heavily: "Sell it, or on the same street? Or in the same place?"
Lao Chen said: "Definitely."
Zinai said: "The old place is fine. As soon as you go back, it will be lively again. You just sell noodles and I only collect money."
Lao Chen: "Okay, eh?"
He stopped his chopsticks: "What did you say?"
Zina said: "I said you sell your noodles, and I'll take my money."
Lao Chen said: "How can you go back with me? You have to follow your brother."
Zinai said: "I still have plenty of time to follow my brother. What about you? How old are you? What if you die one day while I am following my brother?"
Lin Ye: "Ahem..."
Zinai raised his head: "Take it."
Lin Ye: "Okay..."
Zina continued to eat the noodles and continued to say vaguely: "Besides, after you go back, there will be some mean-mouthed people who will laugh at you if you are in trouble again. You are a good person, but neither of your children are. My brother has his own big things.
If you are busy, I am not, so I will watch over you to see who dares to be mean-mouthed. My brother will fight his battles, and I will fight mine."
Old Chen sat there in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Zinai looked at Lin Ye: "You should fight faster. After the fight, come to Yunzhou, right in Yunzhou..."
Before she finished speaking, Lin Ye took over.
"marry you."
Zina suddenly stopped eating noodles.
Lin Ye sat there and said seriously: "I asked, I can marry you."
