The most regretful thing about Qionghua's death was that she couldn't grow old with Xiao Ran, and the other was that she couldn't bear a son and a half for Xiao Ran.

When she first came to Wuzhou City, Qionghua had a happy time, but unfortunately she had a miscarriage due to the hard work during the construction of the house.

After that, Qionghua became difficult to conceive, and she was always prone to miscarriage when she got good news.

Afterwards, Qionghua's health became worse and worse, and Xiao Ran never consummated the marriage with Qionghua again. For Xiao Ran, even if they just lay quietly on the bed and fell asleep hugging, it was a kind of happiness.

When Qionghua died, she kept saying sorry, sorry.

Xiao Ran couldn't help crying, in fact it doesn't matter if you have children or not, as long as Qionghua is well, we will grow old together happily even without children.

Xiao Ran thought, the happiness he wants has always been so simple, but his happiness... has always been so short-lived.

"What are you thinking?" Bai Ye couldn't see Xiao Ran's desolate expression, and asked softly as he leaned forward with his wine glass.

Also, afraid of waking up Xiao Ran who was in a fugue in front of him.

Since the two have lived together for a long time recently, Xiao Ran is no longer on guard against him as he was at the beginning, and occasionally approaches or touches him. Although Bai Ye can sense Xiao Ran's uncomfortable expression, he will not immediately close him as before. people push away.

Well, there is progress, but for Bai Ye, it is not enough, far from enough.

How could such an occasional careful contact satisfy Bai Ye's greedy heart?What he wanted was to be able to hold Xiao Ran tightly in his arms, so that he could see him every moment of every day.

What he wanted was to kiss Xiao Ran's lips, to hear his moaning and screaming, to listen to his shy and rapid breathing that he wanted to force to cover, and to take deep possession of this body.

What he wanted was to see Li Ran's gentle and shy smile, and to miss the man whispering quietly in his ear, even for the most ordinary trivial matters, he wanted to hear Li Ran talk to him.

He wanted to see Xiao Ran's caring eyes, he wanted to enjoy Xiao Ran's tenderness and consideration to himself, he wanted to eat the meals that Xiao Ran carefully prepared for him every day.

Like, once upon a time two years ago.

He wouldn't cherish it at the time, but he didn't want to miss it again.

Hearing Bai Ye's question, Xiao Ran came back to his senses, and was frightened by Bai Ye who was close at hand, and leaned back involuntarily, but forgot that the stool didn't have a backrest, so he just fell down like this, Bai Ye With sharp eyes and hands, he quickly grabbed it back and held it in his arms, but he couldn't bear to let go...

It seemed that Xiao Ran was taken aback, but he didn't struggle, and he regained his senses after a long time, and hurriedly pushed Bai Ye away, and Bai Ye, looking at Xiao Ran with a shy face, was infatuated.

"You, be careful, you will fall down at home..." He said softly, looking at Xiao Ran whose ears were starting to turn red without blinking. "What were you thinking just now, so engrossed?"

Xu was confused by the intimacy just now, at this moment, Xiao Ran was blushing and didn't have the nerve to look up at Bai Ye. Naturally, he didn't see Bai Ye's shy look that was not much better than him. "I'm just, a little bit reluctant."

Bai Ye could not fail to understand what Xiao Ran was reluctant to part with, and said with a smile: "It's not that we want to tear down this house, it's just that you live with me in the city, and you can come back anytime if you want."

He paused, and deliberately lowered his voice, which was full of seriousness. "This room is as important to you as it is to me. Xiao Ran, you fell in love with me here, and there are our memories here. It's just that there are also you and He Qionghua here. I want a complete only You belong to me, so leave with me."

Xiao Ran didn't hear this, he just tilted his head and thought about what Bai Ye said just now about being able to come back at any time. "If that's the case, I'll ask Aunt Zhang next door to look after the house for me. After all, it's been some time, and I'm afraid it will leak when it rains heavily."

Bai Ye laughed and said, "Fool, what do you need to worry about, I will send someone to take care of Zhou Shi for you! Come on, eat more food, don't worry about what you have."

While talking, he picked up some beef for him, and picked up an egg, the chopsticks brushed over the lotus root meat, pulled a whole piece of fish belly meat and put it into Xiao Ran's bowl. "In the future, don't burn this kind of greasy fish. You can't eat it yourself. You might as well like tofu for your appetite. You can eat these fish meat, and leave the tail and back to me."

Bai Ye now knows that Xiao Ran's stomach is not good, especially in this sultry day, if he eats slightly greasy dishes or pieces of meat, he will have diarrhea immediately.

Xiao Ran is not very good at eating fish, as long as there are more fish bones, he will look very helpless, and he always has to use his hands to help take the fish bones out of his mouth one by one. Go to the side and toss by yourself for a while.

Although Xiao Ran's teary-eyed look of being pierced by a fishbone made Bai Ye's heart itch, although Xiao Ran's clumsy look was cute, but Bai Ye would also feel distressed. There will always be pain, right?From then on, Bai Ye always acted first, and gave Xiao Ran the meat from the fish maw.

In fact, if it wasn't for the fear of frightening Xiao Ran by being too obvious, Bai Ye still hoped that he could remove all the big thorns from the fish's maw before clipping them to him.

After eating, Bai Ye sat on the side and quietly watched Xiao Ran wash the dishes and put them back in the cupboard one by one by candlelight, and watched him take a rag to wipe the table clean.

He likes to see Xiao Ran at this moment, it makes him feel warm in peace.

Right now, Bai Ye can't hold Xiao Ran, can't kiss him, and can't tell him his love.He also knew that Xiao Ran was now facing himself with the most ordinary mood. To Xiao Ran, he was a friend, a relative, a partner who helped each other in a foreign land.

But during these alone times, when Xiao Ran cooks, washes and cleans up the dishes for him, and even boils the bath water for him, Bai Ye will have the illusion that they have never been separated for two years, and that Xiao Ran is still the same Xiao Ran who loves him , and myself, myself...

He will no longer face everything Xiao Ran has done for him with a natural or even deliberate mood. Now he has learned to help, he has learned to be grateful, and he will even say thank you softly.

All he wanted was that Xiao Ran could see and understand his changes.

After tidying up everything in the kitchen, Xiao Ran went back to the inner room holding on to the oil lamp, looking at the room with some sadness.In the dimness, he even felt that he saw Qionghua sitting beside the bed smiling gently at him.

Tears, almost uncontrollable.

But Bai Ye couldn't take it anymore, he has endured it since eating, how long will you be reluctant, Xiao Ran, a bookworm?

I couldn't help but snorted and said: "I saw that when you left here, you moved quickly. Why didn't you have so much reluctance at that time!"

Xiao Ran shook his hand, and the oil lamp almost fell to the ground. After a while of silence, he said softly: "At that time... At that time, I only wanted to leave, and I just wanted not to face all this again. I really left in a hurry. I have been away for two years, how can I not miss you? , always thinking, when I come back again, it’s time to clear up my mood, and I will never leave here again. Thinking, come back and continue to be my teacher, live a life seriously by myself, guarding He Qiong Memories of flowers, for a lifetime, that's all."

Bai Ye regretted the words just out of his mouth, and now seeing Xiao Ran in front of him with his head bowed and talking silently, his pale face under the light and his slightly trembling hands clinging to the oil lamp, he couldn't help himself for a while, and walked forward for a while. Hug Xiao Ran.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Ran, I'm sorry." He whispered softly against his ear.He wants to tell Xiao Ran his pain and regret, he wants to tell Xiao Ran that he loves him, he wants to say that there are not only Qionghua here, but also Bai Ye, but in the end, he can only repeat again and again, sorry .

After a while, Li Ran broke free from Bai Ye first, coughed twice, and said: "It's nothing, it's all over. I never thought that there would be such opportunities as now. If you want to take good care of Qingfengzhai, it is indeed more convenient to live in the city. "

Bai Ye smiled bitterly, it's all over, Xiao Ran, have you really let go of everything?

But I'm still standing there, waiting for you to turn around.

On the day of officially moving into the new house, Bai Ye was very low-key, he didn't even set off a firecracker, only the servants who kept coming in and out carrying all kinds of items proved that the mansion was popular again.

The three maids, a gardener, a cook and a few servants who took care of the yard, personally selected by Brother Bai, arrived a few days ago. Fortunately, they came early, cleaning and tidying up, otherwise they couldn't be so fast. land can be moved in.

Bai Ye kept his selfish intentions and arranged Xiao Ran in the courtyard on the east side. It turned out that it was Master Jia's residence. It was naturally magnificent and the residence area was also large. Not only was it spacious, it also had enough rooms.Bai Ye specially set up a study room for Xiao Ran, and had people prepare everything in it before officially moving in.

Bai Ye himself wanted the yards of the original Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master, and the only reason was that it was the closest place to Xiao Ran's yard.The first young master's room was used as a bedroom, and the second young master's and the original study were connected and refurbished as a practice room.

In order to show that he really took charge of the affairs in the south of Xuantian Gate, Bai Ye specially renovated the old master Xiao's office. Zhang Bamboo Lounge Chair.Well, Bai Ye's idea is very simple. Since you, Xiao Ran, like that reclining chair so much, I'll prepare one for you too. Look, it's good to bask in the sun and the moon here. How attractive is the pond?

Well, it is unlikely now, but in the future, one day we will be happy with each other, in fact, it is also a kind of fun on the recliner...

Bai Ye wiped his saliva.

In fact, before, Bai Ye thought about doing it on the recliner in Xiao Ran's room, but Xiao Ran didn't want to do it anyway. At that time, he still laughed in his heart and couldn't let go of Xiao Ran, but now he realized that it was Qionghua's favorite. place.

Hmph, is it a great memory?Just a dead man!

The next day, Leng Fengyin invited Xiao Ran and Bai Ye to Deyilou, saying that it was to congratulate the two on their housewarming. Halfway through the meal, Lengfengyin asked Kong Yan to bring a boy over. Xiao Ran looked at it, but it was sold to Deyilou A former student from here, Zuo Yun.

Leng Fengyin stretched out his hand, and pulled Zuo Yun, who was neatly dressed in new clothes, to Xiao Ran. "Xiao Ran, I won't give you anything else, they are all vulgar things. It's better to give you something that makes you happy. Take this child."

Both Xiao Ran and Bai Ye were shocked, Xiao Ran was surprised, and Bai Ye was frightened.

Leng Louzhu is notorious for not doing loss-making businesses, Bai Ye always frowns for taking care of Li Ran in every possible way on weekdays, and now he simply gives Li Ran the tools to make money in the future?Lengfengyin Lengfengyin, what are your intentions?

Xiao Ran didn't expect so much, he was purely happy that his student could get out of the sea of ​​suffering, so he hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply to Leng Fengyin. "Master Leng, Master Leng, Xiao Ran will never forget your kindness and virtue! Xiao Ran thanked you on behalf of Zuo Yun!"

Leng Fengyin hurriedly pulled him up, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ran, you are being polite. I also saw that he was clever, and I knew that you and him had a relationship between master and apprentice, so I gave him to you. Xiao Ran, always keep one or two by your side. A caring person, so that in the future, if someone in the same industry turns his face and is ruthless, there will be someone to take care of him."

Although Bai Ye knew that these words were indeed reasonable, he still cursed in his heart, provoke, let you provoke!

Here, Leng Fengyin helped Xiao Ran to sit down, stood beside Zuo Yun, and patted the child's shoulder, Zuo Yun immediately knelt down in front of Xiao Ran obediently, and kowtowed three times before Xiao Ran could react. "Sir, please let Zuo Yun serve by your side, please leave Zuo Yun behind!"

Xiao Ran quickly pulled Zuo Yun up, and wiped away the child's tears with his sleeve. "What nonsense are you talking about? You still call me Mr., how could Mr. abandon you!"

Canxing signaled Kong Yan to move another stool over, put it beside Xiao Ran, and let Zuo Yun sit on it.Leng Fengyin didn't care about the rules, and smiled so much that he took out another piece of tissue paper from his sleeve.

"This is Zuo Yun's contract of sale, but Xiao Ran, I think it's better to keep this thing with me."

"Why, since everyone is willing to give it to Xiao Ran, why do you still keep such a contract of sale? Do you still want to get Zuo Yun back someday?" Bai Ye sneered, dangling the wine glass in his hand twice, and laughed.

Leng Fengyin tucked the deed of selling himself back into his sleeve again, smiled and said seriously: "It's not that he has any intentions, Zuo Yun will not take back what he said to Xiao Ran. It's just that Zuo Yun's father is addicted to gambling now , I'm afraid that he will come to harass you knowing that Zuo Yun is by your side, that's because I did something bad with good intentions, why don't I still tell the outside world that Zuo Yun is a member of my favorite building, and I'm just learning my homework from you, Xiao Ran. "

Leng Fengyin asked Kong Yan and Zuo Yun to serve everyone with wine and vegetables, while explaining his intentions.

It turned out that after Zuo Yun's father sold Zuo Yun to Deyilou, he gambled all the money he brought in after changing hands.But the eldest son of the family has gone out to work in a neighboring county, and the daughter-in-law went back to her hometown angrily. After Zuo Yun's father sold all the valuable things in the family, he would come to Deyi Building every now and then to ask Zuo Yun for money.But Zuo Yun has just entered Deyi Building, and he is not a young man who has already received customers, so what kind of money can he have?In desperation, Zuo Yun could only coax the money from the guests.

But all the people who come here are looking for pleasure, so if I give you money, don’t you ask you to pay?But Zuo Yun is educated after all, so he can't do some despicable things, so some customers don't like it, otherwise why would you take my reward?

It was exactly like this when Xiao Ran met Leng Fengyin for the first time.

Leng Fengyin said that ever since he knew that Xiao Ran was Zuo Yun's husband, he had always had the idea of ​​letting Zuo Yun go to Xiao Ran's side, but he also knew that if he didn't deal with Zuo Yun's father, he would have to be accepted by Zuo Yun according to Xiao Ran's docile temper. His father was tortured to death.

"What you said is also reasonable, but what's the use of selling your body in your hands? Wouldn't his father still pester Zuo Yun?" Bai Ye understood after hearing this, but what's the use of it?

Canxing picked up a shrimp for Xiao Ran and said with a smile: "Xiao Ran is a good person, which of the students he taught doesn't miss him? The landlord also knew that Zuo Yun would not help his father, which is not good for Xiao Ran, so he made the decision. We and Zuo Yun agreed, if his father dares to make a fuss, tell him that there is no money in your place, so that he has the courage to come directly to the landlord to make a fuss. His father is just a gambler and not a fool. What valuable things can a bookstore have? What's more, Bai Ye, if his father really ran to make trouble, did you just let it go?"
