I, Qinghuan

Before the hot pot was finished, Nan Yang received a call.A call from Mei Zhongli.

Nan Yang looked at the name of the caller, put down the bowl and chopsticks, got up and went to the side to answer it.

"Old Ancestor, did I bother you?" Mei Zhongli's voice sounded exhausted, "Sorry, I know it's lunch time, maybe you are..."

"It's okay, what's wrong?"

"Originally we didn't intend to let you know, but... Ah Zhen..." Mei Zhongli sighed heavily, "He is critically ill."

"……what?"

"A Zhen has always been sick. I didn't tell you before. We thought it would get better, but in the past few days...he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. He was the youngest of the three of us. Who would have expected... ...Sigh... He may not be able to take care of you anymore. You fell ill yesterday, and he couldn't come on the hospital bed. He felt guilty for a long time. After careful consideration, he decided to take the responsibility of protecting you while he is still awake. Pass it on to his next generation."

"Okay." Nan Yang agreed concisely, "Give me the address of his hospital, and I'll go there."

"Okay, it just so happens that the successor he selected is also in that hospital. You can meet her and get to know her." Mei Zhongli said with emotion, "You will be guarded by her for decades to come."

"Well. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's nothing to us. After all, you have gone through more than 3000 years. Seeing that your obsession is about to be fulfilled, we must always do the last thing well."

From the beginning to the end, Nan Yang couldn't bear to interrupt the inheritance of their beliefs.Fortunately, this is Qing Huan's No.90 IX. When she thinks of herself, she will start to age slowly like a normal person. After a hundred years of her life, these unnecessary inheritances will no longer be necessary.

After hanging up the phone, Nan Yang returned to the dinner table.A few people at the table blushed from eating, and filled their mouths with milk tea.

"Xu Xue," Nan Yang took a sip of his own milk tea, with no expression on his face, "We'll leave after dinner."

As soon as the voice fell, several people at the table stopped.

Zhu Qinghuan and Xiaoye looked at Nan Yang in surprise.Sun Xuxue asked their doubts for them: "Why do you want to leave suddenly? Where are you going?"

"Go back." Nan Yang spat out two words lightly.

"Why...why go back suddenly?" Zhu Qinghuan frowned.

"This time I came here to visit the class." Nan Yang put down the milk tea and took out a tissue, "Xiaotian Entertainment asked me to come here to cooperate with the hype, and now the effect has come out. If I stay too long, I will be criticized. Besides, I still have something."

"What's the matter?" Sun Xuxue blinked those innocent eyes.

Nan Yang looked at her, and lowered his voice a little: "You don't know what's going on?"

Sun Xuxue was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she realized what her grandfather had told her, "Oh—ah, yes, yes, yes, there is something else, then...then I...do you want to drive back or take a plane?"

"Airplane, the nearest flight, book a ticket now."

"it is good."

Sun Xuxue immediately went to make arrangements.

After Nan Yang drank the last bit of milk tea, she got up and took Sun Xuxue to the airport.When they put on their coats and were about to leave, Mingwan Cheng and Xiaoye said goodbye to her briefly, Zhu Qinghuan didn't say anything.

Nan Yang loaded the car keys, and after walking ten steps, she suddenly felt someone gently grabbing the corner of her clothes.

She turned her head and saw Qing Huan holding her finger at the corner of her clothes, she subconsciously wanted to touch it, but she couldn't raise her hand.The end of his eyebrows was pressed, and he asked in a low voice, "...what's wrong?"

"Are you angry with me, so you left?" Zhu Qinghuan pursed her lips, and there was a tooth mark on her lower lip, "...Because I just said that to you, so you..."

"No, something really happened." Nan Yang explained concisely.

But what's the matter, she can't tell Qing Huan clearly, Liu Zhen and the others will always explain things unclearly, and she herself is not a liar.Even though she knew that this would make Qing Huan feel uncomfortable, she had no choice but to reveal her identity rashly before Qing Huan recovered her memory.

She can't tell her directly that I am an ancient man more than 3000 years ago, and the people who follow me are all my disciples, and you are also my disciples, but I let you die under my sword. I killed you, and I killed your mother, your father, and your whole family.And the reason why I come to you now is because I still want to continue my relationship with you.

If any normal person hears such words, they will probably have to call the police.

"Then..." Zhu Qinghuan looked down at the ground, let go of Nan Yang's clothes, and said softly, "When will you be back?"

Nan Yang took out the key of his Audi A4L from his pocket and put it in Qing Huan's hand, "I don't take away my things in the hotel, and I will drive my car for you first. I can't tell the exact time." , try to come back years ago."

There is still one month left before Chinese New Year.

Nan Yang paused, then asked again: "During the Chinese New Year, do you go to the Spring Festival Gala?"

Zhu Qinghuan was silent for a while, and replied: "I got an invitation. But... if you come back, I won't be on the show, and celebrate the New Year with you in the crew."

"I see."

Nan Yang nodded.

Zhu Qinghuan hesitated and took out two Socha Gold Tequila chocolates from her pocket, and instead of stuffing them into Nan Yang's hands, she put them directly into her coat pocket, "This... I wanted to give it to you at night. You eat it. You don't eat it right away, you eat it after the plane lands, okay?"

"Okay." Nan Yang agreed in a low voice.

"Boss Nan, if you don't take the plane, you'll be late." Sun Xuxue couldn't help interjecting.

"Let's go." Qing Huan took a step back and smiled softly at Nan Yang.

Nan Yang took a deep look at her, said goodbye, and left in a hurry with Sun Xuxue.

Xiaoye looked at Zhu Qinghuan standing there, watching her staring at Nan Yang's back, standing for a long, long time.

She thought that after Nan Yang disappeared from sight, Zhu Qinghuan would sit down and continue eating, but she didn't.Long after Nan Yang left, she was still standing there, motionless, as if she was greedy for the air that Nan Yang had breathed.

She is very sad.

Just looking at her back, Xiaoye could feel her reluctance from the bottom of her heart.

.

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon when Nan Yang and Sun Xuxue arrived at the city hospital.

Liu Zhen was placed in a separate ward in the advanced inpatient department.When Nan Yang entered, he was eating, and when he saw the ancestor coming, he wanted to get up immediately.

"Sit down, Ah Zhen." Nan Yang sat down on the stool next to the hospital bed, "Is your health better?"

Liu Zhen subconsciously wanted to say "yes", but when the words came to his lips, there was only bitterness in his eyes.

"I... I'm afraid it won't get better."

"..."

The corners of Nan Yang's eyes sank slightly.

"I'm sorry, Patriarch, the days I've been guarding by your side...only these short 40 years, I haven't had time to see you truly get what you want..." The old voice was choked with sobs.

40 years ago, Liu Zhen was only six years old.

Six-year-old Liu Zhen didn't know that there was a guardian, and he never knew who Nan Yang was.On his sixth birthday, he secretly ran out to get a cake, but got lost on the road, and stood alone at the intersection crying loudly in fear. Suddenly, such a cold woman in a white shirt walked in front of him, touching her patted his head.

She asked, are you unable to find a home?

Liu Zhen cried and nodded, saying, sister, help me.

She said, okay, follow me, and I will help you find your mother.

This cold woman in a white shirt walked in front, and he followed her, pulling her skirt with his little finger.When she walked in front of a small vendor, she stopped suddenly, paid for two bunches of candied haws, and handed one to him.

She bit the candied haws and asked, is the candied haws delicious?

With his mouth full, he nodded sharply.

She said, then don't cry, okay?

He nodded again.

He finished eating the candied haws in his hand and asked, sister, can you buy me another bunch?

But at that time, it was far away from the stall.The cold woman in a white shirt said yes patiently, and led him to search the street over and over again.Later, he couldn't remember some details at that time, and he didn't even remember whether they found another bunch of candied haws that day, but he would always remember the hem of her shirt blown by the breeze, like a pure and soft white cloud, in his The warmest reflection was cast in the young world.

He said, sister, when I grow up, can you come and marry me?

She didn't speak, but looked at the immature boy in front of her, and couldn't help but bend her eyebrows.

Since then, Liu Zhen likes to see Nan Yang's eyebrows curled up the most.Because she never smiles, when she finds it interesting, she only bends her eyes into a crescent-like shape, so restrained and gentle.He thinks she is the most beautiful person in the world. Although she doesn't like to talk or laugh, she is so kind to every weak person, especially to weak children.He wanted to follow her, to be with her forever.

He thought, maybe the legendary "Qinghuan" fell in love with Nanyang in the same way.

It's a pity that he couldn't send her to the end after all in this life.

"Old Ancestor, I'll trouble you to make another trip. I know you're visiting Zhu girl. I didn't want to..." A tear fell from the corner of Liu Zhen's wrinkled eyes.

"Ah Zhen, don't think too much." Nan Yang interrupted him lightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will be with you."

Liu Zhen understood what Nan Yang meant, and she would accompany him through the last part of the journey.

Liu Zhen couldn't help sobbing and began to cry. Hearing this sentence, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was six years old. He was still that helpless little boy, and the woman with the same appearance in front of him was his only belief.She was still the same as before, the same beauty, the same kindness, and she would still give him the utmost patience and kindness.

Nan Yang comforted him softly, Liu Zhen slowly calmed down, and slowly chatted with Nan Yang about the past.

Not long after, Liu Zhen glanced at the phone, his eyes lit up, and said, "Old Ancestor, my descendant has arrived, and he said that he is in the corridor outside now, look..."

"Then I'll go out and see you, and you lie down."

Nan Yang stood up, covered Liu Zhen with a quilt, and then walked out of the ward.

She closed the door carefully, and when her fingers were still on the doorknob, a familiar female voice suddenly came from behind:

"Nan Yang."

Nan Yang's body shook violently.

The back molars are slowly clenched.

Yes……

is her.

How could it be her?

"Why, long time no see," Jiang Banxia stood behind her with a sinister smile on her lips, "My ancestor, are you unhappy?"

His fingertips were gripping the doorknob tightly, already turning white.

"Why did you leave without saying goodbye? I have been looking for you for a long time," Jiang Banxia giggled in her ear, "I spent so much time trying to find you and become your guardian, do you want to thank me for my loyalty? ah?"

"Thank you?" Nan Yang's eyes had turned to ice, and he sneered, "Thank you for imprisoning me in Australia for six full years?"
