Xie Zhongjun lay quietly in the empty room, his mind as empty as the room.
The door opened slowly, and Zhang Chi walked in. Ma Da, who came in with him, helped set up a table, put two chairs, set out the dishes and dishes, and then turned around and went out.
Xie Zhongjun smelled the aroma of meat and wine, but his eyes were still staring at the ceiling, as if he was in trance.
Zhang Chi said: "Master, I bought your favorite roast chicken and pig's trotters, as well as the fine Maotai."
Xie Zhongjun said: "Why waste money on a dying person?"
Zhang Chi filled the wine glass: "Just to make me feel better."
"Why should I make you feel better?" Xie Zhongjun said, but he got up. The gray beard on his face was thick, and he was obviously much thinner. He walked unsteadily and was no longer as normal as before.
High-spirited.
He came and sat down opposite Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi waited for him to sit down before taking his seat. He picked up his wine glass and said, "Master, I respect you!"
Xie Zhongjun glanced at him, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Without using chopsticks, he picked up a piece of pig's trotters and gnawed it. He remembered that the last time he had a meal was three days ago.
Zhang Chi said: "Why refuse treatment?"
Xie Zhongjun did not answer him immediately. After chewing the pig's trotters and drinking a glass of wine, he said: "Why bother spending so much effort when you know it can't be cured."
"It can be cured."
Xie Zhongjun shook his head: "My heart is dead, and there is no point in living."
Zhang Chi filled the wine glass for him, and Xie Zhongjun grabbed it and drank it. He accidentally choked and turned around and let out a series of coughs. Zhang Chi stood up and patted his back.
Xie Zhongjun scolded: "Do you want to beat me to death?" He continued to cough a few more times, raised his head and saw the relaxed smile on his face, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Fuck! You really want me!" After saying this
When I said this, I felt a little sour in my heart.
Zhang Chi also felt a little sour, so he returned to his seat and drank a glass of wine.
Xie Zhongjun said: "I thought it was your uncle, but after a long time, it turned out to be your uncle."
Zhang Chi said: "You are my master!"
Xie Zhongjun sighed and said, "Actually, I really didn't teach you anything."
Zhang Chi said: "Actually, these dishes were prepared by senior brother."
Xie Zhongjun pursed his lips, thinking of Lu Jinqiang, and whispered: "I never thought that my greatest achievement in this life would be my two apprentices."
Zhang Chi said: "If you refuse treatment, you may only have one month left."
Xie Zhongjun said: "Let's not talk about this. That day you drew a wall of fire. None of us saw what happened inside. Tell me, what happened to him in the end?"
Zhang Chi said: "Dead!"
Xie Zhongjun felt disappointed: "So easy? You are really awesome."
Zhang Chi said: "People are responsible for their own destiny."
Xie Zhongjun said: "Did he... say anything?"
Zhang Chi shook his head and raised his wine glass.
Xie Zhongjun picked up his wine glass and looked at Zhang Chi: "Where is Chu Wenxi?"
Zhang Chi thought for a while before saying: "She went to where she should go."
Xie Zhongjun nodded: "This roast chicken is good, I want to eat it every day starting from tomorrow..."
Snow started to fall at noon on New Year's Eve. Qi Bing stood in front of the library holding a transparent umbrella. The library was closed. Because it was winter vacation, most of the students had gone back. Qi Bing still persisted.
Stay just for one person's promise.
He promised me he would come back.
Her cell phone rang. She glanced at the phone number and saw that it was her father. Qi Bing answered the call.
"dad!"
Not only the father's voice sounded on the other end of the phone, but also the mother's voice. It was New Year's Eve, and my daughter insisted on staying in the capital for the New Year. How could parents not be concerned.
"I'm fine. I'm celebrating the New Year with Zhang Chi. We'll go back the day after tomorrow."
Mother Xue Huizhen was keenly aware of something from her daughter's tone: "Zhang Chi is back? Did you ask him to answer the phone?"
"Oh, he...he's not here at the moment..."
Xue Huizhen understood and stopped asking further questions. She just told her daughter to come back early the day after tomorrow.
Qi Bing hung up the phone in a hurry, feeling a little sour in her heart. She had been holding on to this promise all this time. She knew nothing about Zhang Chi's current situation, and she also had no knowledge of what happened during this period. She only
She knew that she loved him deeply, and to love him she had to believe in him, and loving him was enough. However, if he did not come back as promised, she was not sure whether she would be shaken.
She has never been so uneasy as she is now. Qi Bing quietly asked herself, does Zhang Chi love her as much as she loves Zhang Chi? She doesn't know the answer, and she doesn't want to find the answer.
When the first lights came on on campus, Qi Bing's heart became gloomy. The snow was still falling and it was very heavy. Maybe she should consider finding a place to welcome the New Year alone and get drunk.
A blurry figure walked in the wind and snow. Qi Bing tried hard to identify it, but she soon judged that it could not be Zhang Chi, because it was obviously the figure of a woman.
The person who appeared in front of her was actually Xiao Jiujiu.
Xiao Jiujiu smiled gently and came to Qi Bing: "Are you waiting for someone?"
Qi Bing nodded: "Wait for Zhang Chi."
Xiao Jiujiu said: "I came to say goodbye to you."
Qi Bing said: "Where are you going?"
Xiao Jiujiu said: "Go for treatment, maybe we won't have the chance to meet in the future."
Qi Bing raised his umbrella to cover the snow on Xiao Jiujiu's head. Xiao Jiujiu said softly: "One umbrella cannot accommodate three people."
"There's room for both of us."
Xiao Jiujiu laughed: "Unless no one comes in again." She took a step back and returned to the snowy night: "Don't tell him about me."
Qi Bing sighed quietly and said, "I don't even know if he will come?"
Xiao Jiujiu said: "Actually, you know him better than me. As long as he promises, he will definitely do it." Suddenly the past scene was recalled in her mind, and Zhang Chi's kind voice sounded in her ears - "When I have money"
Yes, can I take care of you?
Qi Bing wanted to say something else, but Xiao Jiujiu had already left. Soon her figure disappeared into the wind and snow, leaving only a string of footprints on the white snow.
Qi Bing felt cold. She stomped her feet and paced back and forth. Xiao Jiujiu had left. There must be someone waiting for him in this world.
When the snow wiped away Xiao Jiujiu's footprints, Qi Bing saw a familiar figure under the street lamp walking towards her despite the wind and snow...

"Are you tired?" Qin Luzhu stroked her bulging belly during the day and looked at Zhang Chi lying next to her.
Zhang Chi stretched his waist: "I'm tired but happy at the same time!"
Qin Luzhu spat: "It's purely an excuse for your shamelessness."
Zhang Chi said: "It is always not a good thing for a person to be too possessive. Now I find more and more that I am not only possessive but also very philanthropic. You women are all a disaster. Who can stand it if you have the physical quality of yours?"
, If I don’t go to hell, who will?”
Qin Luzhu covered her stomach and laughed: "How shameless, you and I haven't done that for more than ten years."
Zhang Chi said: "It's really strange. Why can't a pregnancy here last ten months, but instead take twenty years?"
Qin Luzhu said: "You are not idle either. This time you came to Netherworld Ruins, Lin Daiyu suffered a lot, right? You seem to have been to Beihuang behind our backs. Did you go to see Bai Xiaomi?"
Immortal Zhang smiled and said: "General, his eyes are as bright as a torch. I can't hide anything from you." Suddenly he remembered something: "I have to go back. I agreed to watch a movie with Qi Bing."
"Time management is really good. I haven't watched a movie in a long time. By the way, have you found Xiao Jiujiu?"
Zhang Chi shook his head.
Qin Luzhu said again: "You haven't finished telling me the story about your descent to earth, why did you leave so soon?"
Zhang Chi said: "Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."
"A few days for you is a few months here."
"I have official duties. After all, I am still the head of the field team of the Bureau of Secrets."
"Okay, go back quickly, lest the snow girl finds out and pesters you."

An Chongguang was much older than a few months ago, with gray hair, but he was still personable. When he saw Zhang Chi coming in, he smiled and greeted Zhang Chi to sit down, and first asked about the situation in Netherworld Ruins.
Zhang Chi gave a brief report.
An Chongguang nodded and said: "Thank you for being here. It's just that it's too hard for you to have all the work on your shoulders. I thought about it and decided to add a partner to you, so that you can
I'll help you share the work, so you don't have to frequent Netherworld Ruins alone."
Zhang Chi said: "I don't feel it's hard, and no one else is qualified for this job except me."
"Don't be so absolute. You have to meet first before making a decision."
An Chongguang handed Zhang Chi a photo. Zhang Chi was stunned when he saw the photo: "She...where is she?"
An Chongguang said: "Tell me first whether you agree or not?"
Immortal Zhang nodded hurriedly and said: "Agree, a hundred consents."
The smile on An Chongguang's face suddenly disappeared. He looked at Zhangchi fiercely and said, "You'd better not bully her. If I know that you dare to bully her, I'm sorry for her, and I will never spare you."
Zhang Chi said: "Security Bureau, you know that I have a special status and we are a special unit. I am not a normal person at all. You cannot use traditional disciplines and moral standards to restrain me. I can only promise that I will do my best to protect her.
Take good care of her and be good to her, but if you ask too much, I really can’t promise you, and it seems that I don’t need to promise you.”
An Chongguang pointed at this kid: "Isn't she stupid? Why did she have to choose you as her partner?"
"You really don't understand the happiness of young people."
"roll!"
Zhang Chi turned around and ran away.
An Chongguang stopped him again: "By the way, Mr. Yue wants to see you."

Zhang Chi walked into the control center of the Secret Bureau and entered a spring world of singing and dancing. Under the cherry blossom tree, Lin Daiyu in school uniform was looking at him with a smile.
Zhang Chi walked over and held her hand, but looked down at her beautiful legs and praised: "The legs are so white."
Lin Daiyu blushed with embarrassment: "Hate, you haven't bullied me enough in Netherworld Ruins?"
Zhang Chi said: "You can feel it from such a distance?"
Lin Daiyu blushed and said: "It caused several breakdowns."
Zhang Chi said: "I just said this job is not easy to do."
Lin Daiyu said: "If I don't go to hell, who will? Don't worry if you let others control the control center."
Zhang Chi nodded and said: "We will take protective measures in the future."
"Um……"

The five-star hotel opposite Shangyuan was officially opened. Fang Dahang presided over the opening ceremony as the general manager. They specially hired Ye Ximei's Shangjing Law Firm to be their legal counsel. Everything began to become formalized.
Ye Ximei is also one of the shareholders of the hotel. On the opening day, she brought her son Ye Jiacheng. Jiacheng's illness has been cured and his body has fully recovered. He is lively and cute. Zhang Chi, who is the godfather, teased the child for a while. This boy
We are close to him.
After finally getting Wang Meng to coax Jiacheng away, Zhang Chi came to Ye Ximei and handed her a glass of red wine.
Ye Ximei gave him a charming look and whispered, "Do you like it?"
Zhang Chi nodded. How could he not like it? After all, he is his own son.
Ye Ximei said with eyebrows: "The second brother is coming back from North America soon. I will have to take care of them both by then. Thinking about it makes me dizzy."
Zhang Chi whispered: "There is still me."
"Can I still count on you?"
Ye Ximei took a sip of red wine and said, "But I have something I want to discuss with you."
Zhang Chi nodded: "Sister Ximei, just ask."
Ye Ximei whispered: "I still want to have a daughter, and give birth to her myself."
Zhang Chi understood what she meant: "Yourself?"
Ye Xing rolled her eyebrows at him and said, "I mean I'm going to give birth naturally this time."
Ye Ximei's pretty face turned red with two red clouds: "I won't let you take responsibility. I'm so cowardly."
Zhang Chi said: "You don't care about my body either."
"You are as strong as an ox, and no amount of money is enough for you to plow."
"..."
"Are you praising me or scolding me?"

Huang Chunli took up the job of the logistics director in the newly opened hotel. When she saw Wang Meng walking over with Jiacheng in hand, she smiled and said, "Whose child is so beautiful?"
"Lawyer Ye's."
Huang Chunli nodded.
Wang Meng said to Jiacheng: "Call me grandma."
"Grandma!" Jiacheng shouted in a milky voice.
Huang Chunli smiled brightly. Maybe people like children especially when they reach this age. When she heard the word "grandma", her heart became cute. She opened her arms and said: "Come, let grandma hug me."
Huang Chunli hugged Jiacheng, and the shadows of the two people suddenly appeared in her mind. Looking at the boy's appearance, she suddenly understood. She glanced at Zhang Chi and Ye Ximei, who were talking in the distance, these two people were really
Big heart.
After a while, Ye Ximei came to look for the child, and Huang Chunli handed her the family fortune.
After Ye Ximei left, she waved to Zhang Chi, who came over cheerfully: "Master, what are your orders?"
Huang Chunli pinched Zhang Chi's ears and called him into the manager's room: "You brat, you really dare to do anything."
Zhang Chi begs for mercy.
Fortunately, the phone rang and Huang Chunli let go of him.
The call was from Qi Bing: "Husband!"
"Really? Oh, that's great. Just wait for me. I'll go to the hospital to pick you up."
Zhang Chi hung up the phone, turned around and left. Huang Chunli said, "I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Let's talk about it later, Qi Bing is pregnant."
Huang Chunli was stunned and froze on the spot. What kind of apprentice did I teach? This kid is too scumbag.

Shuiyue An was renovated. The dead ginkgo tree in the courtyard suddenly came back to life. In early summer, the ginkgo tree blocked the sky and became lush and full of vitality. A new pagoda was added to the backyard of Shuiyue An.
Chu Canghai comes here almost every week. Every time he comes, he burns the newly copied Heart Sutra in front of the pagoda. There is always a lonely figure standing there in his heart.
He didn't know how long he could stay here, but he knew that in the coming years, he would continue to copy the Heart Sutra and burn it here. Whether it was to commemorate or atone for his sins, he didn't know, and he didn't need to know.
He firmly believes that the grudges and stories that have happened in the past will eventually fade with the passage of time, but everything will not end. Even if it ends, there will be a new beginning. Leaves will grow and leaves will fall, and the cycle of life and death will continue.
Over and over again, there will never be an end...
