Chapter eight hundred and eighty fourth long-cherished wish fulfilled
The clock hanging on the wall was ticking.
The living room was very quiet. Lin Zhiming and Chen Pingan were both sitting there. No one was playing with their mobile phones, watching TV, and no one was talking.
Both of them seemed to be thinking about some things in the past, some things that had happened and left a deep mark on their hearts.
Lin Zhiming suddenly exhaled a long breath, and then pressed his back against the back of the sofa.
Chen Pingan glanced at Lin Zhiming and asked, "Did you also think of a very important person in your life?"
"Yeah." Lin Zhiming nodded and found that his eyes were a little sore.
"There are always so many imperfect things in this world, so so many people are willing to watch movies with happy endings, maybe because they want to find the perfect answer in them," said Chen Ping'an.
"Do you like the happy ending?" Lin Zhiming asked.
Chen Pingan shook his head and turned to look at the old lady. There was tenderness in her eyes that Lin Zhiming had never seen before.
At this moment, Lin Zhiming suddenly understood.
Perhaps Chen Ping'an loved the old lady from beginning to end, but he knew that he would die before the age of eighty, so he didn't want the old lady to be alone at such an age.
Maybe he didn't even think that the old lady would never marry because of his infidelity.
"Come here for dinner." The old lady wiped her hands on her apron and said while looking at the two people in the living room.
"Okay, okay." Chen Pingan said, got up and walked to the dining table to sit down.
Lin Zhiming also sat at the table.
There are very simple dishes on the table, a total of five dishes and one soup, stir-fried vegetables, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised fish, cold jellyfish skin, steamed scallops with vermicelli, and winter melon and pork ribs soup.
"Zhiming, you should eat more." The old lady placed a pile of rice in front of Lin Zhiming.
"Thank you, grandma." Lin Zhiming said.
The old lady smiled, turned and walked into the kitchen, brought out another half bowl of rice and placed it in front of Chen Pingan.
Chen Pingan glanced at the rice in the bowl, his eyes twitched slightly, and said, "Do you remember that I only ate half a bowl of rice?"
"I don't remember anything. There was less rice today, so there is only half a bowl left for you. You are not young anymore, so you should eat less rice." The old lady said.
Chen Pingan smiled and said, "At that time, I just debuted and I was still an idol. The company asked me to manage my figure well. I could only eat half a bowl of rice every day. That was the most difficult time for me. Fortunately, I met someone at that time.
you."
"Yes, you are lucky to have met me. I ate everything you couldn't eat. As a result, I gained more than ten pounds and went directly from the front to the backstage. I really want to thank you." The old lady rolled her eyes at Chen Ping'an and said.
"You still remember it?" Chen Pingan asked.
It could be seen that there was a glint in his eyes, as if he was remembering events from more than fifty years ago.
"I don't remember. Let's eat. Zhiming, eat more." The old lady said and gave Lin Zhiming a piece of fish.
"Thank you, grandma!" Lin Zhiming thanked her, and then ate it politely.
The food was not delicious, it just tasted like home-cooked food. The table was divided into four corners, with Lin Zhiming and Ye Shan facing each other, and Chen Pingan and the old lady facing each other.
"Shanshan, didn't you always say that you wanted to thank Zhiming in person? This person called you over, why didn't you say anything again?" The old lady suddenly asked.
"Ah, this..." Ye Shan was suddenly called by the old lady's name. She was a little flustered. She blushed slightly and picked up the orange juice on the table and said, "Mr. Lin, I, I toast you, thank you for saving me."
"Why do you call him Mr. Lin?" the old lady asked in confusion.
"Ah..." Ye Shan was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. Could it be that she told her teacher that she met Lin Zhiming while drinking?
"We met once before in a business setting." Lin Zhiming explained.
"Really?!" The old lady looked at Ye Shan in surprise and said, "Shanshan, when did you come into contact with such a high level?"
"It's just a chance encounter, a chance encounter!" Ye Shan quickly explained.
"I was quite surprised to see Ye Shan that day." Lin Zhiming smiled, picked up the orange juice and touched it with Ye Shan, and said, "However, no matter whether the person who had the accident that day was you or not, I will take action. After all, it is a human life.
"
"Thank you." Ye Shan thanked her solemnly, and then took a sip of orange juice.
"I know my fate. After that day, I found someone to inquire about you. Then I found out that you had only become the Dragon King not long ago, and you were only an honorary Dragon King. I asked why you would save people. It turns out that you have not been given to the Dragon Clan yet.
Corruption, let me tell you, while you can still escape now, stay away from the Dragon Clan as soon as possible, so as not to become like other Dragon Clan people in the future." The old lady said.
"Definitely, definitely!" Lin Zhiming smiled and nodded. For the seventy-year-old old lady in front of him, persuasion and explanation are meaningless. If she could be persuaded, then she wouldn't have reached this age.
He was still an anti-dragon clan person, so Lin Zhiming wisely chose to follow the old lady's wishes.
"Good boy." The old lady was very satisfied with Lin Zhiming's attitude and smiled kindly at Lin Zhiming.
At this time, Chen Pingan put down the bowl in his hand, looked at the old lady and said, "Su Lian, since we have eaten together today, does it mean that you have forgiven me?"
The old lady was originally looking at Lin Zhiming. When she heard Chen Pingan's words, the old lady turned her head and looked at Chen Pingan.
"You are already this age, why do you still have to worry about those little things?" the old lady asked.
"This is no small matter. You also know that I am seventy-nine years old this year. If I can't get your forgiveness again, I think... if I die one day, I will not be able to rest in peace. This is the biggest pain in my life.
That’s my wish.” Chen Ping’an said.
"Actually, you never understand me." The old lady said, sighed and shook her head, "For me, things that happened more than fifty years ago have already become blurry in my mind. I have never
If I really blame you, how can I forgive you? It’s just that you have guilt in your heart, so at this time you feel that you can’t let it go. Ping An, instead of asking me to forgive you, what should be said more is whether you forgive or not.
Own."
The old lady's words stunned Chen Ping'an.
Lin Zhiming on the side also felt a sense of enlightenment for a moment.
"The past is the past after all. No matter it is regret or whatever, it has passed. I only remember that you gave me the most beautiful thing in the world during that time. In so many years of my life, that
In your twenties, you have always been my true love, and I have never resented or missed you," the old lady said.
Tears soaked Chen Pingan's eyes, and his body was trembling slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.
"If you leave one day, I will miss you too." The old lady stretched out her hand and gently placed it on Chen Pingan's hand.
"Thank you, Su Lian." Chen Pingan pressed his other hand on the back of the old lady's hand.
"I'm going out to buy a pack of cigarettes." Lin Zhiming stood up at the right time and glanced at Ye Shan.
Ye Shan understood and said, "I'll take you there."
The two of them left the old lady's residence together and went downstairs.
"Where can I buy cigarettes?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Do you really want to buy it? Go over there, I'll take you there!" Ye Shan thought Lin Zhiming was just making an excuse to come out, but she didn't expect that she actually planned to buy cigarettes, and hurriedly led Lin Zhiming towards the small supermarket.
.
Lin Zhiming put his hands in his pockets. The wind in the school was a bit strong at this time.
It's already December, and the air in the imperial capital is very cold.
The cold wind blew the shadows of the surrounding trees, and the students coming and going had to pull up their collars and tuck their necks in them to keep themselves warm.
Only then did Ye Shan realize that she had forgotten to bring her coat. Now she was only wearing a high-collared and close-fitting knitted base layer, and she couldn't help but shiver when the cold wind blew.
"Is it cold?" Lin Zhiming asked when he saw Ye Shan shivering.
"Cold." Ye Shan nodded seriously.
"Fortunately, I'm wearing a coat." Lin Zhiming zipped up the leather jacket and shrank his neck.
Ye Shan's face fell, and she felt that Lin Zhiming was really a bit uncharacteristic.
"The old man can now leave with peace of mind." Lin Zhiming suddenly said with emotion.
"You can leave with peace of mind?" Ye Shan looked at Lin Zhiming doubtfully, not understanding why Lin Zhiming would say such unlucky words.
"There is a disease in the old man's family. No one in the family can live to be eighty years old. He is already seventy-nine this year." Lin Zhiming said.
"Ah?" Ye Shan looked at Lin Zhiming in shock and asked, "Is there still such a disease?"
"Yeah." Lin Zhiming nodded.
"How could this happen? It's rare for the old gentleman to get the answer he wanted. How...how could this happen?" Ye Shan said excitedly.
"There are many things in this world that cannot be changed by our will. The ancients heard that death is inevitable. Now the old man's long-cherished wish in life has been fulfilled. For him, death is no longer scary."
Lin Zhiming said.
"I still feel it's too cruel." Ye Shan said.
Lin Zhiming smiled, took off his coat and threw it to Ye Shan.
"Put it on, the mucus is coming out of your nose." Lin Zhiming said.
"Thank you!" Ye Shan politely put Lin Zhiming's coat on her body.
A warmth instantly warmed Ye Shan's body, making her feel as if she was in a man's arms.
In addition, the faint smell of smoke on the clothes gave Ye Shan a strange feeling.
Ye Shan doesn't smoke and doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, but the smell of this smoke is extremely good, giving people a smell of male hormones.
"Actually..." Ye Shan was about to say something emotional, but she didn't expect Lin Zhiming to suddenly speed up and walk forward.
Ye Shan looked forward and found that the small supermarket had arrived.
"Hey!" Ye Shan stamped her feet angrily, then trotted to follow Lin Zhiming.
