The Fragrant Romance of the Abandoned House

It has been more than a month, and when he heard this name again, Qi Jingzhi still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and his heart ached.

He has worked hard to forget that every day when he came back here, he was busy, he couldn't rest, once he was free, someone would come into his mind.He was so busy that he was numb, and his mind was empty. Whenever he thought he could do it, it became futile again at night.

Countless nights lying in bed, as long as I close my eyes, that person's name, that person's appearance, and everything about him will still linger in my mind, and even the slightest traces cannot be stripped from my mind. open.

After a long time, Qi Jingzhi answered Qi Wentao: "No."

"Son..." Qi Wentao shouted and stopped talking.

Qi Jingzhi was also silent.

After being silent for a while, Qi Wentao spoke again: "Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"

Qi Jingzhi sat on the rocking chair and swayed, turned his head to look at the pomegranate tree in the yard, "Well, it's uncomfortable, it's really uncomfortable."

Hearing what Qi Jingzhi said, Qi Wentao also felt uncomfortable. He felt that he was also a fool, and asking this question was for nothing.

"Dad..." Qi Jingzhi lowered his head and stared at his fingers, "I really like him very much, I feel that I will never like someone so much again in my life..."

"Go to him, son." Qi Wentao said.

Qi Jingzhi twitched the corner of his mouth and replied, "I can't find it."

"Why can't I find it? I'll tell your mother, why does she care so much?" Qi Wentao's tone was a little annoyed.

"It has nothing to do with Mom, it's my own fault." Qi Jingzhi lay down on the rocking chair and looked up at the ceiling, "Anyway, I left first, so why should I go back to him again?"

"Son, when did you become such a mother-in-law?"

Qi Jingzhi frowned, "I have a reason why I can't go back."

"What reason?"

Before Qi Jingzhi answered, he heard noisy voices from the yard, as if grandma was arguing with someone again.

When Qi Jingzhi walked into the yard, he never expected that Cao Jing would find this place. He glanced at the two people in the yard, and said to the phone, "Dad, let's talk later, I have something to do here."

"mom……"

Just as Cao Jing opened her mouth, she was interrupted by grandma's loud voice: "You and Wen Tao are already divorced, don't call me that, I can't stand it."

Grandma's voice was naturally loud, and even if she spoke calmly and normally, she still seemed to be arguing with others. Cao Jing hadn't even uttered a whole sentence since she entered the yard.

Grandma knew about the affairs between Cao Jing and Qi Wentao, but she never cared much about the children's housework.When she learned about Qi Wentao and Cao Jing's divorce, she didn't have much reaction.

Although she didn't like this ex-daughter-in-law, she couldn't say she hated it, because she had always lived alone and had little contact with Cao Jing.

Grandma has always been cool.

Qi Jingzhi felt this way since he was a child, even though he was afraid of her, it was true.

Cao Jing wanted to say something, but turned around and saw Qi Jingzhi standing at the door, "Xiaozhi?!" She shouted in surprise.

Grandma turned her head following her gaze, and asked Qi Jingzhi, "Have you finished calling your dad?"

"Ah."

Grandma stood on tiptoe and patted the leaves stuck in Qi Jingzhi's hair, complaining: "I don't know how to come back during the Chinese New Year, so I only know how to make a phone call after so many days, and I will call next time to see if I don't scold him to death."

Qi Jingzhi lowered his head and smiled slightly, then looked up at Cao Jing.

"I'm going in to cook." Grandma patted Qi Jingzhi's arm.

Cao Jing walked over, "You really came here."

Qi Jingzhi picked up the big broom in the yard, swept aside the fallen leaves at the door, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Can I talk to Mom?"

"I have nothing to talk to you about."

"Just for a while." Cao Jing grabbed the handle.

Qi Jingzhi glanced at her and put down the broom in his hand.

The two were sitting on a stone bench in the yard, Cao Jing stared straight at Qi Jingzhi's thin face, and asked distressedly, "Why have you lost so much weight?"

Seeing that Qi Jingzhi didn't speak, Cao Jing was more or less guilty, clutching her bag tightly, and said cautiously: "Use Kidney Yuan to threaten you to break up with Song Yi, I really didn't know about it at first, I really did I won’t force you with a child’s life.”

"Is it still useful to say this now?"

Cao Jing opened her mouth, wanting to tell Qi Jingzhi that Song Yi did not accept Liu Yue's help, hesitated for a long time, and finally did not speak.

She still had a fluke mentality, and her heartache was nothing but heartache. She still hoped that his future life would be smooth.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is better to make the mistake and not tell Qi Jingzhi the truth, now it will be uncomfortable for a while, after a long time, the discomfort will definitely pass, and by then, her son will be relieved.

"Will you blame me?" Cao Jing asked him.

"It's nothing to blame, it's all my own choice, and," Qi Jingzhi looked at Cao Jing, "you have never been able to control the matter between me and him."

Cao Jing knew the meaning of Qi Jingzhi's words, if she didn't use the kidney source as a condition, no matter how much she objected, it would be impossible to change his mind of wanting to be with Song Yi.In other words, Qi Jingzhi didn't take her statement to heart from the very beginning.

Cao Jing suddenly felt a little powerless, as if no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't mend the rift between herself and Qi Jingzhi.

"I'm going back." Cao Jing stood up with her bag in hand.

Qi Jingzhi didn't expect the conversation to end so quickly, he thought Cao Jing would at least chatter for a while.

Cao Jing managed to squeeze out a smile, and said to Qi Jingzhi: "You eat well here, how thin do you think you are?"

Qi Jingzhi didn't say anything.

Cao Jing sighed, said "I'm leaving", and walked out of the yard.

Grandma came out of the house with the sieve and asked, "Are you gone?"

"En." Qi Jingzhi walked over to take the sieve in her hand.

"I'll do it myself." Grandma put the sieve on the stone table and spread out the dried persimmons in the sieve.

"Little one." Grandma called out.

"Ok?"

"If you're not happy, tell grandma. Don't think that my old lady doesn't understand you young people. If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't hold back. I can't see that you are always like this."

Qi Jingzhi fiddled with the dried persimmons in his hand, and said "hmm".

A little girl ran in from the courtyard, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she let out a clear voice: "Grandma! Where's Qi Yao? Are you at home?"

The girl who came in was Qi Yao's classmate and also his childhood sweetheart, at least the little girl thought so, seeing Tian'er followed behind Qi Yao, she was very cheerful and pretty.

"I don't know him." Grandma bowed her head and was busy, "I guess he went to his father's place again. He just stared at a log all day long, and he looked stupid."

"Brother Qi!" The little girl smiled and called out to Qi Jingzhi.

"Yeah." Qi Jingzhi nodded slightly, and said, "He should go fishing at the Houtou River, he's getting old these days."

"Okay, I'll go find him." The girl said and ran out of the yard, leaving behind a hurried figure.

"Xiaowen really likes Yaoer, our family, and runs after him every day." Grandma smiled, "My grandsons are all handsome and attractive."

"Yao'er doesn't seem to be interested in that little girl." Qi Jingzhi broke the basin of cold water.

Grandma didn't take it seriously, "It's just his elm head, if he wants to be interested in others, he will go out of his way, and he will be like a fool all day long."

Qi Jingzhi picked up a piece of persimmon and smelled it, and smiled after a long absence.

***

Song Yi stayed in England for half a year, and it was almost summer when he returned to China.

Song Wei's operation was successful, and they could have come back earlier, but he was afraid that Song Wei would be exhausted after the operation, so he stayed there for another two months and returned to China only after Song Wei's body fully recovered.

Song Wei is finally a healthy child.

This is the only thing that has been on his mind except for that person in the past six months.

He can't remember exactly how he felt when he heard that the operation was successful, but he just had a vague impression that when the doctor came out of the operating room to report the good news, he froze for a moment, frozen in place, unable to move. open pace.

For so many years, a boulder that had been pressing on his heart suddenly fell to the ground, and his whole body felt light, and everything felt unreal, including himself.

Song Yi was lying on the lazy sofa on the balcony, holding Song Wei in his arms. He touched the little guy's head and squinted his eyes to look out the window.

The morning sun can be so beautiful, if that person is there, he will definitely think so.

During the period after returning to China, he never stopped looking for him.Everyone who can ask has asked, but there is still no clue.Those who might have known where he was, disappeared like him.

He regretted that he didn't integrate more deeply into Qi Jingzhi's life back then.Otherwise, it wouldn't be like now, losing him, and being so confused and aimless about where to find him.

"Uncle..." Song Wei called lazily.

"what happened?"

"Why hasn't my brother come back yet? We've all been back for so long." Song Wei pouted, "Didn't you say you would find him back?"

Song Yi silently fiddled with the curly hair on Song Wei's forehead, not knowing what to say.

Song Wei turned over, put his head against Song Yi's chest, and said in a muffled voice, "I miss my brother so much..."

Song Yi pursed his lips and turned his head.

The phone rang, Song Yi took it out and took a look, it was Ren Han.

"Hey."

"This weekend, bring Song Wei to my place to play."

"Don't go."

Ren Han was driving, and when he heard the words popped out of the earphones, he knocked on the steering wheel angrily, "I said you have been back to China for a few days, and you don't know how to come out every day except to find that person, right? You don't want to come out, I also brought the children out to play, and finally cured the disease..."

"Oh shit!"

A big black thing flew over from nowhere, and landed on the windshield with a "snap", which happened to cover Ren Han's sight, causing him to slam on the brakes.As a result, the car hadn't stopped, and in the blink of an eye, the lump flew away again.

Ren Han looked at the car window and blinked, and said to Song Yi on the phone, "I have something to do, so I'll hang up first, and I'll call you later."

He got out of the car and looked around, trying to see where the unknown object was flying from.

There were two people squatting by the river, and one of them looked familiar.

Qi Yao frowned, and squatted on the ground to handle the aquatic plants accidentally caught on the fishhook. Even though he was wearing gloves, he still felt a little uncomfortable touching such a black and dirty thing.

"Hey, you're afraid of getting dirty, so let me do it." The girl squatting next to him pulled the water plants off the hook.

The two stood up, and as soon as they looked up, they saw a man wearing sunglasses standing on the side of the road looking towards them. The sports car beside them was very eye-catching.

Seeing the boy's face clearly, Ren Han took off his sunglasses.

At the same time, Qi Yao froze with his fishing rod as if he had seen a ghost.
