Kaifeng Bistro

The cloud in Chen Qing's heart dissipated, and a childish smile appeared on his young face, but Tan Zhifeng's next words made his heart tighten again: "Zijin, have you ever thought about what you like about me? "

"This..." Chen Qing's cheeks flushed suddenly: "I can't say this...I, I saw you for the first time, and I think you...you are different from those people I associate with, you...you let me I think, for the first time since my mother left, I don't think my life is so dreary."

He paused, and then continued: "From the year my mother left, my father began to order people to bring me some portraits of 'well-matched' girls, saying that he wanted to pick someone from a good family background so that I could get married early. "He frowned in disgust: "But I don't like any of them, I... Even if I go to those restaurants with them, I will only feel uncomfortable when I see those girls and smell the strong smell of powder on them!" Until, until a classmate asked me..."

"He asked you if you like boys?" Tan Zhifeng has gradually understood.

"That's right." Han Qing nodded, "Later... Later I simply told my father that I like men. He was so angry that he kicked me out of the house. I relied on the money my mother left me I rented this place, I want to go to school soon..."

As he was talking, he suddenly became irritable: "But my father always refused to give up. He even said that even if I like a man, I have to find a woman first, get married and have a child! But Zhifeng, don't worry, I won't listen to what my father said, he has never cared about me, so what right does he have to tell me how to live at this time..."

"No," Tan Zhifeng shook his head and said, "Zijin, the key is not what your father wants you to do, but what you want to do? The classmate who asked you if you like men earlier, what else did he say to you later?" ?"

"Oh, he has always wanted to become a brotherhood with me. Later, I also felt that it was a bit new, so I agreed, but, but I really can't accept it if I really want to go that far with him, so not long after, I So I don't have much contact with him anymore, and he hasn't been entangled for a long time. But, but I think it's because I don't like him. Now I know, what I like is you..."

After saying that, he asked Tan Zhifeng cautiously: "You...you really don't like Zhan Weiwei? He is handsome and stable, and almost all the girls in Kaifeng like him."

Tan Zhifeng couldn't help laughing out loud: "As you said, everyone likes Guard Zhan, and I like him too...but not that kind of like."

"Let me tell you a secret." Tan Zhifeng suddenly withdrew his smile, and said to Chen Qing: "You tell me about you, and I will also tell you about mine. I have never told anyone about this. "

"Oh? What is it?" Tan Zhifeng was willing to confide in him, and Chen Qing was very happy. He turned around and held Tan Zhifeng's hand and said, "Zhifeng, tell me, I will definitely keep this secret for you."

Tan Zhifeng took a deep breath, and said to Chen Qing: "That day, you asked me if I liked someone. The truth is, I..."

He raised his head and met Chen Qing's slightly anxious eyes.He looked back beyond Chen Qing, the winter sky was clear and blue, thin clouds had cleared away, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.I don't know how many years ago, he was just such a faint white wandering soul. He once looked down on this vast and beautiful land in the air, but only after he lived in this land in person, he realized Knowing that the world is full of suffering, and it was after he lost a lot that he discovered how important and precious to him the things he thought would always exist in his life.

This reunion was unlike any previous one.He finally felt the equality and tacit understanding of two people standing side by side and connected with each other.During the battle last night, the dragon soul gradually awakened in Xu Gan's body calling him. He was used to the protection of this kind of gentle and powerful power, but now he found that he can fight for Yinglong with all his strength.He was willing to give everything, including his life, to defend the other party, and he did it.

"In my heart," he said slowly, "there is already someone who is very important to me. I think I loved him very much from the very beginning, but at that time I didn't know too much about the joys and sorrows in the world. Sorrow and joy, I don’t know, this kind of feeling is what people call white-headed concentric love in the world. Now I understand, I think my love will never change. Chen Qing, I am willing to give my life for him. If you meet such a person one day, you can say that you really like him. I know, this person is definitely not me, so..."

He looked at Chen Qing with a smile, and took his hand out of Chen Qing's hand: "Life is short, and it's time for you to find your own happiness."

Chen Qing stared at Tan Zhifeng's eyes in despair, the brilliance in Tan Zhifeng's eyes just now was still shining in front of his eyes.But this time, he understood what Tan Zhifeng meant. He knew that no matter who the person Tan Zhifeng was talking about, in Tan Zhifeng's heart, he couldn't replace him.

Chen Qing raised her head suddenly, and smiled a few times: "Zhifeng, I really... maybe if I could meet you earlier."

Tan Zhifeng also smiled: "Maybe, but... that was a long time ago."

The two sat quietly under the tree for a while. Chen Qing took a piece of lotus cake and ate it. The cloud of distress that lingered on his face for the past few days finally dissipated, but after a while, he wrinkled again in worry. Brows: "Zhifeng... there is something, I... I don't know how to tell you, or, I don't know whether I should say it, I... I'm very scared..."

Tan Zhifeng watched him quietly, Chen Qing's lips trembled, and his expression became more and more disturbed.Tan Zhifeng put his hands on his shoulders, and used his spiritual power to help him calm down his inner turmoil. When Chen Qing's breathing became a little more stable, he said, "Zijin, tell me... I will Help you, you have nothing to be afraid of."

"I...I might have killed someone!" Chen Qing raised his head, his pupils shrank, and he was somewhat confused in panic: "Zhifeng, Zhifeng, if I really killed someone, tell me, Zhan Zhao Will they take me away, will I be beheaded for public display..."

"No, Zijin, you won't kill!" Tan Zhifeng said firmly: "Don't think about it! Don't believe things that didn't happen. Now, tell me what you heard and saw. Tell me, what happened?"

"Okay..." Chen Qing's eyes regained a bit of clarity: "Yes, it's like this... On that day, my father sent me a letter saying that I should go to Tianqing Temple. After my mother left, I... I didn't want to meet him at first, but Brother Zhou persuaded me... Well, after thinking about it, I went anyway, I was a little surprised at the time, why my father asked me to go to Tianqing Temple..."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, sighed, and said: "I don't know if you have heard that the tile of the Sang family was originally the property of a rich man named Sang. This family only had one daughter. So he recruited a scholar to inherit the family business, this scholar... this scholar is my father. His wife's name is Sang Sijun..."

Chen Qing continued with a bit of disgust: "...As for my mother, she is not even a concubine, and I was adopted under the name of my father and Sang Sijun. You see, the Sang family is so domineering, but For the sake of wealth, my father dared not resist his wife at all. In the past, Sang Sijun was in charge of the Sang family's property most of the time, but in recent years she seemed to be in poor health, so she moved into the After practicing in the Qing temple, my father gradually took charge of those businesses."

"Now you know why I never mention my family affairs, and I seldom go home to visit, right?" Chen Qing lowered his head and said, "...Let's talk about that day. Sang Sijun was in the bamboo forest of Tianqing Temple I bought a house, and as soon as I arrived at the door, I realized that the atmosphere was not right. There was a lot of noise inside. Before I could go in, I heard Sang Sijun shouting hysterically inside: "... If my father hadn't taken you in , how can you have everything you have today?' She also...she said I was a bastard, and slandered my mother as a woman of unknown origin, and she, she also shouted, my father did the thing of exterminating the nine clans, the evidence... ...the evidence is firmly in her hands!"

"What?" Tan Zhifeng's heart was shocked when he said this. At first, he only had a vague guess in his heart, but now he understands why Chen Yuanwai returned to the house where Sang Sijun lived in Tianqing Temple and searched anxiously. No, could it be that Sang Sijun has something very important to him? !

Chen Qing didn't notice Tan Zhifeng's abnormality, and he was still talking to himself: "I was out of breath when I heard that, I really hope that this hateful woman will die in front of me right away! Why is she so overbearing? Why is she so tyrannical? So you say me and my mother? I... I don't know what happened, I'm already in a daze, I seem to faint, when I wake up, that Sang Sijun... Sang Sijun is really dead, There is a knife stuck in her chest, I did it, it must be me! Zhifeng, can you save me? I really never thought about killing people..."

"Zijin!" Tan Zhifeng interrupted him again: "Calm down, think about it, what happened before you passed out? Where is your father? Where is he? Have you met anyone else? I can only save you if you recall the matter clearly!"

"I...I didn't see anyone...wait a minute, I did, I..." Chen Qing gave a sharp pause.The disgusting rancid smell seemed to float through his nose again, and the horrible dark yellow snake's head full of mucus turned around, but behind the snake's neck was a huge scar that was still bloodstained and terrifying.

"Ah!" Chen Qing couldn't help shouting: "Zhifeng, I saw a terrible snake..."
