famous first flash marriage

"what?"

"At that time, he knew that he might not come back this time."

Ah Meng took a puff of cigarette and said.

"..."

Pei Yuancheng suddenly felt angry.

He knew he might not come back, so why did he go?

why?
Cheng Lie, you are so irresponsible!

"Since you know you can't come back, you shouldn't go."

After all, he couldn't help but said in a cold voice.

"He has to go."

Ah Meng said.

"No one has to do a certain thing, he can make another choice—"

Pei Yuansheng paused, and said, "For example, he can choose to stay with his wife and his upcoming child."

"..."

Ah Meng fell silent.

He couldn't speak, and didn't know what to say.

Bitter cold wind lingers in the quiet plum garden.

Pei Yuancheng didn't wear much, if it wasn't for the warm baby that Tang Xiao gave him on his back, he would probably have turned into an ice sculpture by now.

He was afraid of the cold since he was a child, but only Uncle Yan remembered this.

Apart from Uncle Yan, Tang Xiao is the second person who loves and takes care of him from the bottom of his heart.

Even if he loves Tang Xiao again, what he hopes most is her happiness.

If Liezi could always be by her side and make her happy and worry-free, he would be willing to watch her happiness from afar forever.

But why did Retsuko abandon her?
In his opinion, the choice Liezi made was undoubtedly to give up Tang Xiao.

People in the world often say that you can give up your small family for everyone.

However, in Pei Yuancheng's view, nothing in the world is as important as Tang Xiao alone.

Perhaps, he is too selfish, he is so selfish that he only wants the happiness of the one he loves.

Other than that, he wants nothing.

"I know you don't understand."

After a long time, Ah Meng said slowly, "However, there are some things that must be done by someone. Liezi just assumed a responsibility that others could not. He is great."

"Of course he's great, but—"

Pei Yuancheng said coldly: "He failed his woman. I will never forgive him!"

Ah Meng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Yes, he failed Tang Xiao. But, you and I both know him, even if we do it all over again, he would still choose the same."

"..."

Pei Yuancheng had nothing to say.

Ah Meng thought for a while, then said: "Just now I tried to hypothesize, what would I do if it were me."

Pei Yuancheng looked at him without saying a word.

Ah Meng grinned and extinguished the burnt cigarette.

"I'm not as great as him. I just want to be with Qiu Han and the children. Maybe, after all, I'm just an ordinary person."

"But I understand him. There's nothing difficult to understand. Retsuko was born in such a family, and the education he received since he was a child is that the family, the country, and the world... There is no way around this."

"Pei Yuancheng, Tang Xiao is in your hands—this is Liezi's intention. If you don't take good care of her, I will definitely not let you go."

Ah Meng said to himself.

Pei Yuancheng sneered, closed his eyes and shook his head.

"why are you laughing?"

Ah Meng asked in surprise.

"I laugh as a fool."

Ah Meng was stunned, and after a while, he laughed too.

"Yes, it is very stupid. But what can be done? There must be such a fool."

"But the one who is more stupid than Cheng Lie is Xiaoxiao."

A trace of pity flashed in Pei Yuancheng's eyes.

"Well, yes. Of course, the person who falls in love with a fool is the most stupid. You said, if Tang Xiao fell in love with you in the first place, wouldn't everything be easy?"

Ah Meng was very talkative tonight.

In Pei Yuancheng's impression, he spoke very little, so little that he once thought he was dumb.

"There are not so many ifs. The first person she met was Retsuko, and it was Reiko who chose her."

Pei Yuancheng said lightly.

"is it?"

Ah Meng asked knowingly, but without waiting for Pei Yuancheng's answer, he smiled and said, "Liezi...is always discerning and tasteful."

"Yes."

Pei Yuansheng deeply agreed.

"But I think the most stupid person is not Tang Xiao."

As Meng said, he glanced at Pei Yuancheng: "The most stupid person is you, Pei Yuancheng."

"..."

Pei Yuancheng was silent for a while, then said, "Maybe."

Late at night, the dew is heavy, and the wind is cold.

Pei Yuancheng coughed softly.

Ah Meng said, "Let's go."

"and many more."

Pei Yuancheng stretched out his hand towards Ah Meng: "Give me a cigarette."

Ah Meng was stunned for a moment, and laughed loudly: "Unexpectedly, there will be a time when you ask me for a cigarette."

Pei Yuancheng smiled helplessly.

Ah Meng handed Pei Yuancheng a cigarette, lit it for him, and lit another cigarette himself.

"I remember that you are in poor health and rarely smoke."

Ah Meng said.

"Ah."

"It seems that you are in a bad mood."

"It's not a good time for anyone to be in a good mood."

Pei Yuancheng smiled bitterly.

"Hey."

Ah Meng sighed.

"I didn't expect that many of the people I knew when I was young have already separated from us."

Pei Yuancheng remained silent.

Ah Meng said sadly: "Lu Zi goes first, then Lie Zi..."

Pei Yuancheng looked down at the ground, speechless.

Ah Meng, a person who doesn't talk much on weekdays, seems to want to pour out all the words in his stomach tonight in front of Pei Yuancheng.

"I still remember everyone's appearance when they were young. But in a blink of an eye..."

He couldn't go on.

Shaking his head, he said: "From now on, I will honestly guard my wife and children and live my little life."

When Pei Yuancheng heard this, a smile appeared on his lips.

"That's good."

"right."

Ah Meng smiled and said: "People, it's good to live an ordinary life. It's enough to guard the one you love and live a safe life. I don't want to be a big hero. I just want to be a superman for my wife and children and serve them. Well done."

Pei Yuancheng was amused, and couldn't help saying: "Ah Meng, you have changed."

"Because of the autumn cold, I have changed. In the past, Lao Tzu lived up to his name, Cheng Bei was a hunk."

Ah Meng grinned.

"Pfft."

Pei Yuancheng was also happy.

"That's right, the former Ah Meng was the number one hunk in Chengbei."

"Cough...it's all in the past."

Ah Meng smiled and said, "I was wondering, people like me can change because of their wives, why can't Liezi?"

Pei Yuancheng was silent for a moment, and said, "Because of faith."

Ah Meng seemed a little puzzled: "What?"

"belief."

Pei Yuancheng smiled faintly: "It's not that Liezi doesn't like to smile, but, in his heart, his belief and mission are unshakable. Even Xiaoxiao can't."

"I understand."

Ah Meng seemed to have realized something, and suddenly took a deep look at Pei Yuancheng.

"It turns out that the person who knows Retsuko best is you."

Pei Yuancheng raised the corner of his mouth: "It's always been like this."

"Yes."

Ah Meng nodded, and said with a smirk: "It's no wonder that when Liezi's grandmother was alive, she always talked about it if only Peizi was a girl, and she would be a good match with Liezi..."

"To shut up."

Pei Yuancheng gave Ah Meng a sideways look.

Ah Meng suddenly burst out laughing.

Pei Yuancheng took a puff of cigarette, stood under the plum tree, looked at the dark night in the distance, and the scenes from the past suddenly appeared in front of him...

In the winter when he was a teenager, the snow in Chengbei was really heavy. He was obviously terribly afraid of the cold, but he followed Cheng Lie out to play in the snow like he had taken the wrong medicine.

Cheng Lie didn't show affection at all when he started a snowball fight, he rubbed several snow balls and threw them on him.

He was hit several times, he got angry with Cheng Lie, rubbed the snowballs desperately, chased Cheng Lie and beat him.

Just running around in the ice and snow, making a fuss, I was actually sweating, and I wasn't cold at all.

"I told you to come out to play in the snow, look, it's not cold at all."

Tired from playing, the two and a half teenagers were lying on the snow, and Cheng Lie was throwing a snowball around.

Pei Yuancheng stared at the snowball, always suspicious that the snowball would hit his face.

"It was cold at first, but it's really not cold now."

He said.

"Then can't you come out to play next time?"

Cheng Lie turned his head and grinned at him.

"Play~ Next time I'll reward you with a big snowball."

Pei Yuancheng blinked at Chenglie with a smirk.

"Yo, I'll wait for you, little princess Pei."

Cheng Lie's mouth is so mean, and before Pei Yuancheng could fight back, Cheng Lie raised his eyebrows and raised the corner of his mouth——

In the next second, the snowball thrown by Cheng Lie for a long time hit him in the face.

"Depend on--!"

His nose was about to collapse!
"Master will give you one first~hahahahaha."

Cheng Lie laughed and jumped up and ran.

"You bastard, stop for me!"

Pei Yuancheng quickly grabbed a handful of snow, rubbed it while running, and chased Cheng Lie in front with all his strength.

……

Those pictures are so close, yet so far away.

That is the past that can never go back.

Pei Yuancheng's vision became blurred unconsciously.

He closed his eyes, a tear fell from his eyes.

He quickly wiped it away with his hand, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw snow floating between the sky and the earth.

There are numerous snowflakes, just so silently falling down.

"Snowing."

Ah Meng said.

"Ah."

"Let's go."

"it is good."

The two stubbed out their cigarettes at the same time and walked towards the box.

In the quaint private room, Min Qiuhan and Tang Xiao were lying in front of the window and looking out.

"Yeah, it's really snowing!"

"It is written in ancient poems that snow falls on plum trees, making people unable to tell whether it is snow or plum blossoms. I didn't believe it before, but now I see it with my own eyes, and I believe it~"

"Haha, it's really similar."

"Yes."

……

The two women were laughing and discussing, when they saw Ah Meng and Pei Yuancheng coming from outside, they greeted them at the same time.

"How did it take so long?"

Qiu Han asked Ah Meng.

"You and Pei Zi are enjoying the snow outside, is my wife in a hurry?"

"not bad."

"My wife, I was wrong."

"Hmph, who wants you to apologize?"

"My wife doesn't need to apologize, but as a husband, you have to reflect on it in time. I'm sorry my wife. I won't let you wait so long next time."

Ah Meng smiled and promised.

"Okay, okay, I get it."

……

"Cold?"

Tang Xiao raised his head and asked Pei Yuancheng.

Seeing a thin layer of snow falling on his shoulders, he quickly took a paper towel to wipe it off.

"not cold."

Pei Yuancheng smiled and said, "There is a warm baby you posted for me."

"That's good, don't catch a cold."

"I'll pay attention."

"I didn't see how much you ate just now. I asked someone to reheat the soup. Come and drink a bowl to dispel the cold."

Tang Xiao pulled Pei Yuancheng to sit down and was busy filling soup for Pei Yuancheng.

After serving it to Pei Yuancheng, another bowl was served to Ah Meng.

The two men drank from steaming bowls of soup, which warmed them up from beginning to end.
