Then, she suddenly felt a gust of wind behind her.

Turning his head, the person who needs to use his appearance to find confidence is standing behind him.

"Are you speaking ill of me, dear?" Zhan Leyan smiled, but his eyes were full of danger.

Cheng Ruoke laughed awkwardly, and hid in her mother's arms.

He dare not offend the mother-in-law!
"Xiao Zhan, you're back." Cheng Ruoke's father greeted warmly.

"Well, I'm back, Dad."

Without the slightest precaution, Zhan Leyan followed Cheng Ruoke and changed his words so naturally.

Cheng Ruoke coughed lightly in her mother's arms to hide her embarrassment.

The father looked very happy, and readily agreed.

"Hey! In fact, I have long regarded you as my own son." The simple fisherman spoke with a heartfelt heart.

"Ruo Ke, go back with Xiao Zhan, we old couple will stay for a while." Mother said.

So Cheng Ruoke got up, patted the leaves of grass standing on her dress, and was led by Zhan Leyan to walk back.

Zhan Leyan didn't say a word along the way, he just took her back with big strides.

Cheng Ruoke took a few steps and looked up at him, and then looked down at his big hand holding her.

Are you angry?
"My parents are very simple, don't forget what you said." Cheng Ruoke thought he was unhappy with what he said just now.

"I know them better than you." Zhan Leyan said in a deep voice.

Hearing such a voice, Cheng Ruoke lamented from the bottom of her heart, she was obviously unhappy!
"That...it says you need to prove yourself by your appearance...actually...I think..."

Cheng Ruoke hesitated and didn't know how to end it.

"How do you feel?" Zhan Leyan finally stopped.

It seems that it is really because of this.

"I don't think it's necessary for you at all..." Cheng Ruoke quickly coaxed, "Look, you are indeed handsome, but you have supported such a large industry of Zhan's, and your working ability is obvious to all, and... ...Your noble aura exudes from you, so many women are overwhelmed by so many men, and ah, actually... your... is also very powerful..."

"That... which one?" Zhan Leyan's heart was already blossoming, which man would be so unhappy when his woman praised him.

Especially when hearing 'that'.

In fact, Cheng Ruoke did it on purpose, because the idea that Xiang Ling has instilled in her for so many years is that a man is praised for his good performance in bed, which is the greatest compliment to him.

Although her compliments sound clumsy and exaggerated, they are all true, but she thinks adding 'that' will make him more confident.

Because in Cheng Ruoke's eyes, Zhan Leyan was angry because he had been stabbed to the core and was not confident.
In fact, she didn't know, how many years ago it was. The once youthful Zhan Leyan had long since transformed into the current man who could stir up trouble in city A with just a wave of his hand.

If he is not confident, who can be confident?
"That... that's... that..." Cheng Ruoke pretended to be stupid, and ran away quickly.

But accidentally stepped on the grass and fell on the path.

Under the sunlight, the corners of Zhan Leyan's mouth grinned, and the curvature became wider and wider. Then, two rows of clean and tidy teeth were exposed, and he laughed loudly.

Cheng Ruoke turned her head and saw Zhan Leyan with her hands in her pockets, smiling from ear to ear, she was stunned.

It seems...he seldom laughed out loud like this, right?

Even if he is smiling, he just raises the corners of his mouth and lifts his laughing muscles, or makes it bigger, like the flight attendant, showing eight teeth...

Cheng Ruoke suddenly felt that the light of the sun in the sky was covered by such words.

She stared blankly at Zhan Leyan until he came over and reached out to her.

"Do you want to live here?" Seeing that Cheng Ruoke hadn't gotten up, Zhan Leyan said with a smile, "Still you're fascinated by my looks, who rely on appearance to find confidence?"

The person who was pulled up lowered his head and blushed, stomped his feet, turned and ran away.

Disgraceful.

Cheng Ruoke hid in the kitchen, lying on the table with Xiao Qi.

Lunch was extremely quiet and awkward.

Xiao Qi was absent, absent-minded, Cheng Ruoke lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhan Leyan, but Zhan Leyan intentionally looked at Cheng Ruoke every time he took a bite of food, the second elder sitting at the table was used to eating without talking, Not a word was said.

It was such a weird meal.

"Xiao Qi, are you and Nannan okay?" After dinner, mother and Xiao Qi were washing dishes in the kitchen together.

As soon as the movement of Xiao Qi's hands stopped, it was really a pot that was not opened and which pot was lifted.

"Very good mom, my daughter is graduating soon." He didn't want his mother to see what was on his mind.

Although he was not her own, Xiao Qi was raised by her since he was a child, and his son has something on his mind, so how could a mother not see it.

"Both your father and I feel sorry for you, for leaving yourself behind and following your brother to go abroad..."

Xiao Qi shook his head, smiled and said to his mother: "Mom, it's okay, I'm fine, really."

He was afraid that his mother would feel guilty, so he smiled brightly.

The old woman stretched out her hand and tapped the tip of her son's nose.

"You have been the most mischievous since you were a child, and you smile like a little monkey."

Xiao Qi lowered his head, his eyes were red.

How could he not miss them? If it wasn't for his daughter and villagers, maybe he couldn't hold on long ago and ran to the United States to find them.

"Mom, do you still want to leave this time?" Xiao Qi's nasal voice came out.

The mother touched the back of her son's head guiltily and said, "I won't leave, I won't leave when I come back this time, I will stay here with you."

He didn't speak anymore, just quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

He is not yet 20 years old, he is still a child, and he needs to be loved and loved.

The frustration caused by the daughter was filled with maternal love.

Xiao Qi became that happy Xiao Qi again.

Cheng Ruoke looked enviously at the interaction between her mother and Xiao Qi, and unconsciously thought of her adoptive mother Su Rou.

She loves her very much, like treating her own daughter.

Maybe, if she hadn't met a man like Cheng Xu, she would have lived a few more years.

Towards evening, the weather became much cooler, Zhan Leyan pulled Cheng Ruoke and said he wanted to go for a walk.

Cheng Ruoke thought she was going to the pond or rice field again, but Zhan Leyan pulled her to walk in the opposite direction.

This is a small hillside, with green grass covering both sides of the road, dotted with small flowers, and further up, there is a forest.

Cheng Ruoke turned her head and found that standing on the mountain, the fishing village below the mountain was clear at a glance.

The neat dark green rice fields are inlaid with a mirror-like pond in the middle, and the setting sun is setting, and the smoke is curling up.

"It's so beautiful..." She couldn't help blurting out.

The two of them did not speak, and sat on the grass, quietly watching the scenery in front of them.

People who have lived in the city for a long time will probably be intoxicated by such a picturesque pastoral scenery.

Leaning on Zhan Leyan's shoulder, Cheng Ruoke quietly watched the sun slowly set to the west, and finally completely set, leaving behind the setting sun all over the sky. For some reason, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.

The orange-pink light changed various shapes in the western sky, and the clothes and faces of the two were dyed orange-pink.

"This is where Wenwen and Ling Fan often come, and I only came here once."

That time, Ling Fan lay alone on the hillside with a wine bottle, and refused to leave for a whole night.

Because Yamashita is holding a wedding.

Wenwen and Daqi's wedding.

He didn't go to participate, but stayed on this hillside for a whole day and night.

After Zhan Leyan and Chi Cheng attended Da Qi's wedding, they stayed with Ling Fan on this hillside overnight.

It's a pity that that day was not so beautiful, it was winter, he was so cold that he almost scolded his mother, and it happened to be a cloudy day, with no sun, let alone sunset.

"This was also the place where your sister died." Zhan Leyan was silent for a while before he said.

Cheng Ruoke's body trembled, where?

"Da Qi said that she died in his arms. Before she died, she was wearing the ring Ling Fan gave her. On that day, the sky was filled with fire and clouds, and there were red everywhere..."

Cheng Ruoke found that she didn't know when, tears were streaming down her face.

Maybe it was telepathy, otherwise why did she feel inexplicably sad when she came here?
"Ling Fan is very lucky to have met such a nice girl as Wenwen." Cheng Ruoke sighed, "But doesn't he know everything Wenwen has done for him?"

Zhan Leyan wiped away the tears on Cheng Ruoke's face, and nodded.

"Leaving hatred alone can make people live stronger than nostalgia and love." Zhan Leyan said in a low voice.

Cheng Ruoke was surprised that Zhan Leyan would say such a thing.

"The three years since you left, I have a deep understanding." He continued.

Cheng Ruoke's nose was sour, and she also understood it deeply, but she had hatred, and Zhan Leyan was the one who missed and loved.

A sense of guilt welled up in my heart.

"I'm sorry, Zhan Leyan." Cheng Ruoke looked into his eyes, which revealed a touch of sadness.

In that period of life without each other, they both lived very hard.

Some words are beyond words, and some words need not be said.

They embraced, kissed, and walked down the hill hand in hand before the last of the sun faded.

At the entrance of the village, Zhan Leyan met his daughter who was standing on the side of the road waiting for the bus to go back to the city.

She greeted them warmly.

"Ninny, do you have to leave so late?" Cheng Ruoke asked with concern.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Nannan's face, she had to leave, and she had to go to work at Meishi at night.

"Well, I have class tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time." Her bangs and light blue sarong concealed all the charms she learned in the night show.

Her gaze swept across Zhan Leyan's and Cheng Ruoke's handshake, and then fell on Zhan Leyan's face.

"Don't worry, I won't tell others that you are here."

She looked at Zhan Leyan as if she was asking for a reward.

"Thank you, darling." Cheng Ruoke spoke up.

Nannan's eyes are still looking at Zhan Leyan, as if she didn't hear Cheng Ruoke's words.

Women are very sensitive in this regard.

Cheng Ruoke naturally felt that Nannan looked at Zhan Leyan differently.
