The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 522 A Touching Compound

The turning point of the matter was in June this year, when it was cloudy and light rainy.

It was already [-] o'clock in the evening when Li Zhiwen got off the train, and he took a taxi directly from the station to the central kitchen shop where Meng Meng worked.Of course he didn't dare to enter the store, and sat in the small restaurant diagonally opposite as every time, ordered a dish and a bowl of rice, and waited for Meng Meng to get off work while eating.

At [-]:[-], employees from the central kitchen store opposite came out one after another, and he saw Meng Meng.

Meng Meng held up an umbrella, waved goodbye to two colleagues, and then walked to the dormitory alone.

Li Zhiwen settled the bill and walked across the road from the small restaurant. The two of them walked across the road, one behind the other.

Li Zhiwen's heart was beating violently. At this moment, he really wanted to call out to Meng Meng, but he didn't dare, because he was afraid that Meng Meng would turn around and leave when he saw him, or stand there and scold him, and never see him again. Not anymore.

He was full of joy, but extremely humble.

The rain slanted and fell thinly on the warm face, and the street lights treated the two people in the rain tenderly.

One was walking calmly, and the other was about to jump out of his heart.

The name Li Zhiwen wanted to call was blocked in his throat, and tears filled his eyes——
Dear person, do you know, I will silently send you off behind you.

Do you know how much I miss you?It hurts to think about it, it's broken——
I really missed it so much that I had no choice but to come over secretly to see you.

Secretly, without disturbing, just walking behind you, looking at you, accompanying you home——
Soon we reached the entrance of the community, and Li Zhiwen knew that when Meng Meng entered the community, and walked 50 meters further, the top floor of the second building would be the dormitory.

He stopped, ready to wait for Meng Meng to enter the community before crossing the road, and then watched his beloved go upstairs.

Meng Meng also stopped suddenly, turned his head and looked back, so frightened that he quickly turned around.

Meng Meng just glanced back subconsciously, she couldn't see Li Zhiwen across the road because of the umbrella.When she turned around and raised her legs to walk forward, an accident happened.

It was a coincidence that the place where we landed happened to be a sewer well. It was raining and dark and we didn’t see it. The manhole cover of the sewer well was also tilted.

"Oh my god—"

Meng Meng let out a scream.

Li Zhiwen shuddered when he heard the shout, and immediately turned his head, then ran across the road to Meng Meng, and reached out to hug her up.

Meng Meng endured the pain and was about to say thank you, when she saw Li Zhiwen in front of her and was suddenly stunned.

"you--"

Li Zhiwen let go of his holding hands, motioned Meng Meng to support him, and then bent down to check her right leg stuck in the sewer well.

Her leg was green and her skin was broken, and Meng Meng frowned in pain.

But she couldn't care less about the pain now, she was shocked by Li Zhiwen's sudden appearance, and couldn't believe her eyes.

Li Zhiwen checked Meng Meng's legs and then his ankles, and found that the toes were on the ground. He raised his head and asked, "Did you sprain your ankle?"

"Hmm—" Meng Meng nodded in a trance.

Li Zhiwen stood up slowly, then bent down and said, "Come up, I'll carry you back."

Meng Meng obediently fell on Li Zhiwen's back like a puppet. Li Zhiwen put his hands around Meng Meng's legs and carried her to the dormitory.

Meng Meng felt that she was dreaming, in a trance, everything was so unreal.

How is he?

Why is he here?
Where did he come from?

It's not a dream, my feet hurt so much, and so do my legs.

But why is he here—
There were too many questions in Meng Meng's head at once, and all the questions were summed up to form the unreality in his head, so that he fell on Li Zhiwen's back and entered the entrance of the building, still in a daze, without saying a word.

After entering the bedroom, Li Zhiwen put her on the bed.

"When did you come?" Meng Meng asked.

"Not long after I got off the train." Li Zhiwen squatted down to take off Meng Meng's shoes, but Meng Meng subconsciously hid her feet, and Li Zhiwen's hand stopped halfway in embarrassment.

Li Zhiwen didn't look up, his outstretched hands trembled slightly, and his Adam's apple twitched.

"Your shoes got wet, I'll take them off for you, it's inconvenient for you," he said.

"I'll do it myself." Meng Meng said, but didn't move.

She looked at Li Zhiwen who was squatting in front of him, who was drenched and did not dare to look at her with his head down. Suddenly, she felt an indescribable distress. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and the root of her nose felt sore.

Li Zhiwen slowly reached out to Meng Meng's feet, trembling slightly, untied the shoelaces on her feet, carefully took off the wet shoes, and took off the socks.Then he took the shoes and socks to the door, brought a pair of pink slippers by the way, and put them in front of Meng Meng's feet.

"Your foot is swollen just now. You can move around. It's nothing serious. It's mainly your leg. It will be swollen tomorrow. Do you have iodine? I'll wipe it for you." Li Zhiwen said, still not daring to look at Meng Meng.

"You're soaked." Meng Meng didn't seem to have heard what Li Zhiwen said.

"fine---"

"Wipe with a towel, don't catch a cold."

"Hmm—" Li Zhiwen's heart was pounding, as if it was about to jump out.I said in my heart: Is she caring about me?Yes, she cares about me, really cares about me.

"Go, the towel is behind the door." Meng Meng said softly.

"No, I can't—" he murmured, "It's nothing, I'll be back—"

"Back? Where?" she asked.

"I—" Li Zhiwen mustered up the courage to look up at Meng Meng, with tears streaming down his cheeks.

For a moment, there were tears in Meng Meng's eyes, and they fell down.

She looked at her former husband and raised her limp hand to him.

Li Zhiwen silently stepped forward and knelt down on both knees, buried his head on Meng Meng's sitting knees and wept silently, feeling aggrieved like a child.

The tears in Meng Meng's eyes ran across his hot cheeks like broken beads and landed on Li Zhiwen's hair, and he patted his back with both distressed and hateful hands, his heart was stirred by a warm current, hot.

"Why are you so stupid—what have you been up to?" she said.

"I'm afraid you ignore me---"

"Did you come to lie to me again and torture me——"

"Never again—"
-
Let's bless this pair of young people who have experienced emotional pain. In the world, only true love will last forever and be with you forever.

The rest was easy to handle, Tong Xin transferred Li Zhiwen to Changsha through Liu Yang.Although the two did not remarry, they worked together and cherished this hard-won relationship better than before.

After Qin Haixiao and Liu Yang attended the wedding, when they got home at night, Liu Yang asked Qin Haixiao how he felt about his marriage.Speaking of which, the two have been dating for two years, and have lived in a rented house for one year, and they are not too young, so it's time to get married.

What does Qin Haixiao say about his feelings? He wants to get married.Liu Yang bluntly said that you are still married like this, there is nothing you want, you don’t even have a house, where do you live when you get married?

"When you get married, you have to have children. I don't want my children to be born in rented houses." Liu Yang said.

"It's not easy. Go back to the provincial capital. We have a house in the provincial capital, two rooms bigger." Qin Haixiao said.
