old love like a dream

Listening to the conversation between Jiang Meijiao and Tan Anyi, Qin Xiao hesitated and struggled to step forward, but he probably knew that he was responsible for most of the current situation, so he stopped in his tracks.

Tan Anyi is very clear about the importance his mother attaches to him. For so many years, he has relied on Jiang Meijiao's card to dare to do whatever he wants with Tan Anyi.

But now...

Qin Xiao secretly brought the tip of his tongue to his teeth and bit it hard to remind himself to calm down. Although the situation seemed uncontrollable, it should not be irreversible.

It can always be solved, he thought to himself a little bit.

Tan Anyi's wailing did not end, and it was even unstoppable.He had never been so broken in his waking life.

Qin Xiao tried to take a step forward to comfort him, his voice was weaker than ever before: "An Yi..."

The doctor next to him knew him and had a little understanding of the entrepreneur's tough style. Such a weak look did not have the slightest resemblance to the legendary toughness and courage.

"roll."

The crying Tan Anyi started to scold him again. The doctor had personally seen the family even made a move a few times before. The tall and strong Qin Xiao didn't resist at all, and he looked like he was beating and scolding Youren.

"Qin Xiao, if you have any humanity, get out of my mother's face!" Tan Anyi was finally willing to talk more this time, and all the infusions on the bedside that were crackling and not being used in time fell on Qin Xiao's body, making a blunt sound. The sound of hitting the body, and then bursting open after landing, and half of the ward was instantly in chaos.

The nurses screamed and ran away, and the attending doctor brought the interns to persuade him.

"Sir, sir, please calm down."

"Mr. Qin, shall we go out first? Mr. Tan is very unstable."

Both parties refused to calm down, and the patient's family members were still crying and cursing, and the crying became more and more fierce.

"I won't go." The famous Mr. Qin also stood up, half-drenched and stubbornly refused to leave after being beaten and scolded.

"Mr. Qin, the patient's affairs need someone to take care of them. Mr. Tan's emotional instability can't do it at all. Can you come out with me?" The doctor persuaded him in another way.

Qin Xiao's eyes moved, and he looked at Tan Anyi, whose red eyes were glaring at him, and finally turned around and went out.

……

Qin Xiao arranged a very extravagant way for Jiang Meijiao's death. The cemetery was chosen in the most expensive feng shui treasure land in the area, and the form was also extremely extravagant.

But those were useless, everything he had painstakingly prepared was useless.

It seemed that Tan Anyi, who was completely collapsed and unable to cheer up, still insisted on handling all this. He refused all the help from Qin Xiao.The funeral was simple and there were not many guests.

The mother and son were originally two relatives in Shenzhen alone, so naturally there were not many people in the ceremony.

It's not a sky-high cemetery, but it's very close to home, so it's convenient for Tan Anyi to visit her helpless mother.

Qin Xiao still didn't know how to appear. On that day, his mother's natal family came from Anhui. Tan Anyi ignored the man who had been standing in the dark. The last journey to send Jiang Meijiao off went smoothly.

When the filial son thanked the gift, Tan Anyi bowed to everyone who came to express his condolences.He was speechless the whole time, but everyone could see his grief.

They discussed privately that children raised in such single-parent families are the most filial.How sad it would be to leave Tan Anyi alone.

Tan Anyi's uncle went to the city for the first time in decades, and he looked like an old man after working for a long time.That pair of old callused hands touched Tan Anyi's shoulders, tears were running down his wrinkled face.

He said to Tan Anyi in a voice with a local accent: "My poor sister, leave her poor son and leave—"

Jiang Meijiao would reveal that accent occasionally in her daily life. Tan Anyi listened and lowered her head slightly, holding back her tears.

At dusk, the clouds in the sky showed a beautiful red color, with some sad colors.

Tan Anyi, who sent everyone away after the funeral, did not go home. He drove slowly by himself without telling anyone where he was going.

Qin Xiao has been following him.

Tan Anyi's car moves very slowly, stopping and going in the crowd, and it takes a long time to react when encountering a red light, often being dropped by the car behind before moving forward.

Not long after, he arrived at a downtown pedestrian street.

He opened the door and got out of the car, Qin Xiao followed after a step too late.Tan Anyi walked through the crowd, his figure flickering in the dark and noisy crowd.Qin Xiao really wanted to follow up quickly, but the crowd rushed him away from Tan Anyi.

It's like he has failed for so many years, always trying to hold onto Tan Anyi tightly, but he is getting farther and farther away from himself.

Finally, Tan Anyi stopped at the door of a store, and pushed the door open like an ordinary customer.

Qin Xiao looked up, and the house number of [Yan Nan Fei Bird's Nest] appeared vividly in front of his eyes.

Qin Xiao remembered this shop, Jiang Meijiao first ate this bird's nest as a gift from him.In order to please Jiang Meijiao, he asked his assistant to set a one-year amount at a time, and let Jiang Meijiao just pick it up after eating.

Qin Xiao pushed the door open and saw Tan Anyi talking to the waiter.Seeing him come in, Tan Anyi just cast a glance and continued to answer the waiter.

"Yes, Jiang Meijiao, just mention it." He was doing as usual, and he couldn't tell that the person he was going to bring the bird's nest to had passed away.

"This one is about one month. You can take it well. After this withdrawal, there are six more." The waiter was busy for a while, and took out the receipt for him to sign.

Tan Anyi lowered his eyebrows while signing and said: "Well, she mentioned that I finished eating in the past two days, so she kept urging me to pick it up and take it home at night. She said it several times when I went out..."

Tan Anyi said to himself, the waiter was surprised why he spoke in such detail.

Qin Xiao at the door paused. He remembered that before he tied up Tan Anyi on the night of the accident, Tan Anyi said he wanted to go home.

At that time, he was struck by jealousy and lost his mind. If he could calm down and understand him at that time.

Or if he could go home with him, things might not come to this point.

In his absence, Tan Anyi had already turned around.With the bird's nest in his hand, he pushed the door open as if he didn't see Qin Xiao.

"An Yi." Qin Xiao chased him out, but what he saw was his figure pouring into the crowd again.

Qin Xiao stretched out his hand, but he didn't even catch a shadow of Tan Anyi.

He didn't catch up to Tan Anyi until the front of the car. He stood a few steps away from Tan Anyi, looking at Tan Anyi struggling.This time, Tan Anyi didn't let him go, he put the bird's nest in the co-pilot and closed the door.With a thoughtful look, he walked a little here and leaned on the car.

Qin Xiao knew that this was finally about to talk about himself.

Tan Anyi has always been a person who starts and ends, is responsible for everything, and he will not end without knowing.

What's more, I am his lover who has been with him for more than ten years.

"An Yi..." It was Qin Xiao who called him first, and took two steps towards Tan Anyi. He hoped that Tan Anyi would not say what he didn't want to accept.

The beautiful light at dusk enveloped the earth, and Tan Anyi was shrouded warmly. Qin Xiao's facial features were reflected in Qin Xiao's eyes with a kind of shocking beauty and warmth. disgusted.

This is a busy city, and the two men with extraordinary looks stood opposite each other, attracting many passers-by to look back.You Qi was leaning against the car with a flat face, while the other was anxious and flustered.Even if it is just a quick glance, you can see the inextricable connection and extraordinary aura between the two.

Tan Anyi casually leaned on the car, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and took one out of his slender fingers and put it in his mouth.

Qin Xiao frowned. He disliked Tan Anyi's smoking and drinking the most. Because of Jiang Meijiao's poor health, he always didn't want Tan Anyi to have such habits and behaviors that hurt his body.

Tan Anyi has also been doing very well. He obviously loves to smoke, and the smell of the smoke can comfort him. He can always control and adjust according to his lover's preferences.

But at this time, he put the cigarette in his mouth.

Then he touched the lighter, lit it with a familiar gesture, and took a deep breath like a drug addict.

"Cough, cough—" He hasn't smoked for many years, and his body can't adapt to the smoke at all. It makes his nose feel numb and his eyes feel hot because of the stable smell.

Blue smoke rose up, covering Tan Anyi's face unclearly.It took him a long time to stop coughing, and when he stabilized slightly, his voice came out through the blue smoke.

"Qin Xiao, we broke up. From now on, we will be separated from each other, and we only hope that there will be no entanglements in the rest of our lives."

Qin Xiao was still standing there, looking at Tan Anyi's unclear facial features with a dispirited expression.

After a long time, he suddenly pulled out a cruel smile.

"You've thought about this for a long time, and now you have nothing to worry about, and nothing can restrain you anymore."

Tan Anyi did not respond to Qin Xiao, he took a puff of cigarette and exhaled blue smoke.Then he took the cigarette down and held it casually with his slender fingers.What he wanted to say has been said, and he has no interest in saying a word to Qin Xiao anymore.

In that bleak sunset, in Qin Xiao's eyes, he opened the door of the car neatly, sat in and started it, and left without a trace.

Qin Xiao's cruel smile disappeared in an instant, and he spoke to the car that was passing by in the sunset without nostalgia.

"Breakup is a matter between two people, I don't agree"

Tan Anyi carefully carried the bird's nest upstairs. He agreed with what his mother brought back, and finally brought it back.

There is no knocking on the door anymore when I go home, the mother who will answer the door is no longer there.

Tan Anyi had been looking for his own key for a long time to open the door. Everything in the room was still the same as before. When he came back, there were still pieces of porcelain scattered all over the floor.

He stepped past them to the kitchen, ready to put the bird's nests in one by one.

Although it was futile, he still persisted in fulfilling what he had promised his mother.This was the only consolation for his guilty heart.

When he opened the refrigerator, his eyes turned red. In the refrigerator, the siu mai stuffing mixed by Jiang Meijiao was still there, silently waiting for the master to make it.

Tan Anyi likes siu mai the most.

This kind of food is quite complicated to make, but Jiang Meijiao makes it frequently because Tan Anyi likes it.

But now, the people who eat are still there, but the people who can make this stuffing into food have left forever.

Tan Anyi held the door of the refrigerator tightly, holding tightly the bird's nest that was about to be put in, crying in grief.

"Mom, I'm sorry..." Tan Anyi whispered.

Tan Anyi didn't know how long he cried, nor how long he stayed in the room.

He was lying on the bed in a daze, not knowing whether he was asleep or awake, and what he always thought of was the picture of his mother.

Qin Xiao called, but Tan Anyi blocked him.

Later, Qin Xiao came to the place where he lived, knocked on the door and called his name.

At that time, Tan Anyi was so confused that he couldn't tell whether it was day or night. After seeing Qin Xiao through the cat's eyes, he went back to his room and called the property owner.

It turned out that Jiang Meijiao opened the door for Qin Xiao when he came, but now Jiang Meijiao is not in the place where Tan Anyi lives, which he can no longer enter.

Later, Tan Anyi heard that there was a quarrel outside the door, so he continued to sleep without paying attention.Afterwards, there was no movement outside the door, and Tan Anyi thought he should have left.

After all, a person in a high position like Qin Xiao has never been driven away by others. If he encounters such a situation, he will be furious and will never come again.

But the next day proved that he was wrong.

The next day Kang Hai came to see Tan Anyi. As soon as Tan Anyi opened the door, behind Kang Hai he saw Qin Xiao who thought he had already left.

Qin Xiao stared at Tan Anyi, whom he hadn't seen for many days, with eagerness in his eyes.

The property manager knew the entrepreneur's face, so he flattered and flattered him when he spoke. Qin Xiao took advantage of the property manager's mentality to achieve the goal of continuing to visit Tan Anyi.

He came every day, but he couldn't see Tan Anyi every day.If he didn't know that he was wrong, he might have already broken into the door.

He stared at Tan Anyi tightly. In just a few days, Tan Anyi lost a lot of weight.He was dressed in a mess, looked slumped, and had a beard growing on his face.

Qin Xiao slammed the door and said: "Tan Anyi, I don't agree, I don't agree to break up. Breaking up is a matter between two people, and it doesn't matter what you say."

Kang Hai looked back at him who had no demeanor, his face was full of incredible expressions.

When he met Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao was still a person who could poke a hole in the sky at any time. Later, he faded out of Tan Anyi's life, and Tan Anyi never mentioned him again. Kang Hai thought on his own that the two had nothing to do with each other. , did not expect to see him again.

Qin Xiao still couldn't enter the house, he was shut outside with a bang.

Qin Xiao paused, now he is tied up in everything he does.He even wanted to ignore it and break in to look at Tan Anyi before talking about anything else.

But he also knew that there were not many things he could hold Tan Anyi back, and he didn't want Tan Anyi to be so sad anymore.

Kang Hai, who was lucky enough to be able to enter the room, was shocked when he entered. The curtains in this room were drawn tightly, and the originally small space seemed dark and depressing.Tan Anyi, who was well adapted to this environment, threw his body on the sofa, twisted a bottle of water and started to drink.

Kang Hai looked at the porcelain shards and dirt all over the floor and went to get a broom, and said while sweeping.

"Why is he still here? Didn't you break up early?"

Tan Anyi didn't respond, and leaned lazily on the sofa.His expression was cold and his face was ashen.

Kang Hai couldn't bear to ask: "Have you not eaten for a few days?"

Tan Anyi moved his fingers slightly: "I'm not hungry."

"Old Tan, you can't do this. When Aunt Jiao is here, I am most afraid of starving you. I will go and see if there is anything you can eat."

Kang Hai is a cook and cooks very quickly.A bowl of noodles with good taste was made in a few minutes, seeing that Tan Anyi only took a few mouthfuls, he became more worried.

"You can't do this. Give me your key so that I can visit you. I'll bring you something to eat every day."

This Kang Hai's behavior was not four or six, and it was very difficult to deal with when it broke out.Tan Anyi was so entangled that he had no choice but to give him the key.

In a blink of an eye, after Kang Hai returned home, the key fell into the hands of Kang Ning who came to inquire.

Regardless of Kang Hai's dissuasion, she held the key tightly in her hand, and refused to return it even though there were red marks on the palm of her hand.

The next day Kang Ning went to Tan Anyi's house and brought a lot of vegetables that he had bought.

She was very lucky, Qin Xiao who had been guarding her was not there when she arrived.

She knocked on the door briefly, then took out the key with a trembling heart. When she opened the door, she saw a dark room full of decadence, not at all like the gentle Mr. Tan living here.

She took two steps and saw Tan Anyi lying on the sofa.

She immediately stood up straight: "Tan, Mr. Tan."

She has the embarrassment of having her heart broken.

"Why are you here?" Tan Anyi asked when he saw the person coming.

In fact, looking back on what happened that day, Kang Ning was also a part of the tragedy, but Tan Anyi knew the truth, no matter what happened, he couldn't blame Kang Ning, it was himself and Qin Xiao who should be blamed.

"My brother asked me to cook for you!" Kang Ning replied, looking at Tan Anyi with distressed eyes.

"Oh, thank you." Tan Anyi's voice sounded weak and polite, and he sat up from the sofa in order to pay attention to his manners.

"It's okay, it's okay, you continue to lie down." Having said this, Kang Ning felt that it was inappropriate, so she added: "Go back to the room and lie down, I'll make dinner and call you."

Tan Anyi really didn't want to communicate with others, so he simply returned to the room without refusing.

After lying down for a while, there was a knock on the door.

Kang Ning outside the door asked him: "Mr. Tan, can I make the stuffing of steamed wheat in the refrigerator?"

Tan Anyi's heart was touched, and he stared at Kang Ning for a moment.Kang Ning felt a little terrified when he looked at him, touched his face and looked at him in bewilderment.

It took Kang Ning a while to hear Tan Anyi say, "Yes."

Tan Anyi in the room didn't wait for a long time. Kang Ning made things very quickly because she was immersed in the Kanghai night market since she was a child. She tied her hair and washed her hands. After washing her hands, she mixed the dough with hot water and quickly rolled out a thin skin As soon as the fingers were flying, the dough covered the fragrant and soft filling. After steaming in the pan, she quickly stir-fried the garlic and seasoned vegetables and spring onion fried shrimp balls, and also boiled the seafood porridge by the way.

At this time, the room was already filled with the smell of food, but the siu mai was still steaming, and the seafood porridge was still cooking, so she simply went to draw the curtains to let in the bright sunlight.

Tan Anyi lived by himself these few days, the house was already in a mess, his suit was lying on the sofa, there were many bottles of drinking water on the coffee table, and the floor was dirty and dusty.

Kang Ning was full of energy. While the siu mai was steaming seafood porridge and cooking, she tidied up neatly, fetched water, wiped the tea table and the floor, and wiped them dry until they were almost radiant.

When these are done, the soft and fragrant siu mai is also out of the pan.Kang Ning brought all the ready-made things to the dining table and put them in a nice shape for a long time before knocking on Tan Anyi's door.

When Tan Anyi opened the door, he felt uncomfortable for a moment, and he narrowed his eyes slightly when it was bright outside.

Then he saw the scene at home as it was when Jiang Meijiao was still alive, bright and clean, with the familiar smell of burning wheat wafting in the air.

Tan Anyi's heart was full in an instant. He never thought that he could eat this kind of siu mai again.

Tan Anyi stared blankly at the thin, translucent, crystal-clear and plump siu mai. He picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. The taste exactly as he remembered made his eyes blush instantly.

Kang Ning sat down and looked at him, his eyes turned red almost at the same time.

Tan Anyi is a man in his 30s, and Kang Ning doesn't find it ugly at all when he chews and cries. She only feels distressed and hates that she didn't come two days earlier.

Tan Anyi ate all the ten siu mai she steamed by himself, and Kang Ning couldn't stop serving him vegetables and porridge during this interval.

When Tan Anyi finally had enough to eat, he put down his chopsticks.

Kang Ning leaned forward, looking anxiously into Tan Anyi's eyes.She stretched out her hand and only touched the edge of Tan Anyi's palm, and said intently and seriously.

"In the future, can I take care of you?"
