We said yes, forever

Chapter 12 The furthest distance in this world (4)
A man with a handsome face walked towards them in a suit of afterglow, so tall and majestic, his eyes seemed to still have the warmth of the setting sun.

Her heart was hit hard.

Mai Mai boldly ran towards Qin Yuan, raised his head and asked naively: "Uncle, can I be your little gardener?"

Facing this innocent little washbasin, Qin Yuan naturally did not have the harsh words of the previous night: "Flowers and plants are very delicate, are you sure that you, a little guy, can do it well?"

Mai Mai hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Uncle, I will work hard."

The corner of Qin Yuan's mouth curled up: "Ambition is not small."

"The little flowers are thirsty, I'll go water them!" Maimai ran away excitedly.

Only Ding Dong and Qin Yuan were left in the garden, without the children's childish words, the small garden became deserted.

Ding Dong was at a loss what to do, rubbed the mud in his hands, and said without words: "You came back early today."

Qin Yuan still looked cold with his pockets in his pocket, nodded slightly: "I'm not too busy today."

So it was cold again.

Ding Dong guessed that he should be in a good mood now, otherwise he would not appear here, talking to the two outsiders, she racked her brains to break the deadlock, but she heard Qin Yuan from the side ask: "Do you like children very much? "

She froze for a moment, seeing Qin Yuan's eyes chasing Maimai who was busy like a little bee, she smiled warmly: "Yes, children are so cute, every child is a little angel, it's very relaxing to be with them happy."

"What about me?" Qin Yuan suddenly asked.

Ding Dong "ah" in surprise, a little confused.

Qin Yuan stared at her, "With me, will you be afraid?"

Ding Dong moved his mouth, but finally chose to remain silent.

The truth always hurts, and she can't tell it.

Qin Yuan said, "I see fear in your eyes."

His repeated questioning made Ding Dong's mouth dry, and even the evening breeze couldn't make her happy. She rubbed her hands and said in embarrassment: "Because you are Qin Yuan. You are so outstanding and awe-inspiring."

She lowered her head: "You and I are people from different worlds. I never thought that one day I would stand and talk with you."

She turned her head suddenly and saw him looking at the sunset glow in the sky, and said in a mysterious way, "Are you looking at the sunset glow?"

Qin Yuan looked sideways at her.

She raised her chin slightly, with a calm smile on the corner of her mouth: "Yeah, just like this, I never thought that one day, I would stand with you and watch the sunset."

She looked up at the colorful clouds, but she didn't know that the man beside her was looking at her deeply.

He said, "I am Qin Yuan, but you don't need to be afraid of me."

Ding Dong looked at him in surprise, he raised his hand to remove a grass clipping from her hair, she was startled, but she heard him say: "There are many unexpected things, this is just the beginning."

Then he left Ding Dong with a confused face, turned around and walked away, when passing by Mai Mai, he even touched the little guy's head as a sign of encouragement.

Ding Dong's eyes followed him, and the doubts in his heart expanded.

What an incomprehensible man, hot and cold.

Two days later, taking advantage of Qin Yuan's absence, Ding Dong fulfilled his promise and took Mai Mai to the beach to play.

It is hard to find people on the beach in the afternoon, and the sound of waves lapping on the beach is like a lover whispering in his ears. The blue sea in front of him miraculously soothes Ding Dong's troubled heart. Empty yourself in the sound, let go of your fatigue, just listen to the wind and watch the sea.

Mai Mai ran back and forth in front of her, squatting down to play with the sand for a while, and rushing into the sea barefoot for a while, seeing the waves coming, screaming and running back and forth in fright, back and forth, never tired of it.

Later, even Ding Dong was infected by his happiness, and like a naive child, he raised his hands and rushed into the sea to fight the wind and waves. In the end, both of them were drenched by the sea water, but they wrote happily with smiles. On the face, such happiness is indeed long-lost.

As a result of the momentary indulgence, Maimai developed a high fever late that night.

Mai Mai lay unconscious on the bed, her whole body was terribly hot, and Ding Dong was so frightened that she was at a loss for what to do. She had no experience in taking care of children before, so she awkwardly took a towel to apply cold compresses to Mai Mai over and over again. back down.

There was really no other way, Ding Dong knocked on Qin Yuan's door trembling.

After knocking on the door for a while, there was no response from the door, only the silence of the night surrounded her heavily. She felt desperate in such a night. In the evening, she and Mai Mai came back from the beach in a state of distress, just in time to be seen by Qin Yuan who got off the car. He only glanced at her coldly, as if the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves, but the temperature inside was colder than the sea water. She immediately understood the emotion in his eyes. She is a person who has committed crimes and meritorious service. It seems to be living a nourishing and happy life. In the eyes of Qin Yuan, who is in a low emotional period, her behavior like this is annoying.

Dong felt worried. Although Qin Yuan treated Mai Mai much more kindly in the small garden last time, would her asking for help late at night arouse his fury?
There are two troublesome people in the family, and no good-tempered person can bear it.

She turned around sadly, maybe she should stay until dawn, Jiang Hailan who had gone to other provinces for a medical conference at that time might come back, even if she didn't come back, she could still go to Mrs. Xiu, they are always better than her when it comes to taking care of children Have experience.

"What's wrong?" A deep male voice sounded from behind, and there was no sleepiness in the heavy night.

Ding Dong turned around and met his gaze the moment he opened the door.

Qin Yuan has already come in front of Ding Dong, her petite body is surrounded by his tall shadow.

She spoke incoherently, "Mr. Qin, I'm sorry for waking you up, Mai Mai is sick and has a bad fever, I don't know what to do..."

She lowered her head and confessed, "I shouldn't have taken him to the beach. He has been soaking in the sea for a long time. How can I explain to his father that I didn't take good care of him...I just want him to be happy..."

"It's my fault, it's all my fault..." She was a little lost.

She is only 25 years old, and even she is barely able to take care of herself. The sudden responsibility caught her off guard, and the loneliness in the middle of the night deepened her grievance and fear.

"Wait, I'm going to change clothes." Qin Yuan said.

Seeing that she was still in a daze, his handsome face finally showed a hint of impatience, "What are you waiting for? I was woken up at three in the morning, do you think I'm not angry?"

Ding Dong was ecstatic, and quickly walked back to the room.

On the way to the hospital in the middle of the night, Maimai lay in Ding Dong's arms, crying violently because she was uncomfortable, and then started talking nonsense, calling "Mom" non-stop.

Ding Dong's shirt was already soaked with Mai Mai's tears. She softly coaxed the half-sleeping child, but she was powerless to do anything about it. She subconsciously looked up at the cab in anxiety, and the silent man received the message immediately. With helpless eyes, she said, "I'll be there soon."

These four words have a reassuring power, which made Ding Dong calm down.

When we arrived at the hospital, we were in a hurry again. Mai Mai had a high fever of [-] degrees. The doctors and nurses used physical cooling, and wiped his whole body with alcohol over and over again. I breathed a sigh of relief.

And Qin Yuan, who also tossed all night, also left quietly after arranging a single ward for Mai Mai.

Ding Dong guessed that he had gone to work. Without him, his huge business empire was like a giant ship without its captain, and he was already benevolent enough to help a strange child like this.

Looking at the morning light outside the window with his chin resting, Ding Dong thought, Qin Yuan was already kind to her.

Maybe she should overthrow the arbitrary definition of this man in the past, for example, maybe he is not as cold-blooded and ruthless as rumored by outsiders.

The exhausted Mai Mai finally fell asleep, and Ding Dong stayed by his bedside. After a while, the exhaustion from the whole night swept over her eyes, she drooped her head and nodded again and again, making the last weak resistance against sleepiness , finally lost, fell asleep on the stomach.

She didn't know how long she had been asleep, but a male voice, one big and one small, pulled her back from the black abyss. She was still lying motionless beside the bed, but her mind gradually became clear.

Mai Mai cried in a low voice, "Dad..."

Ding Dong's heart trembled, Brother Kuang?Brother Kuang is back?

"See clearly, kid, I'm not your father." It was Qin Yuan's cold voice that responded to Mai Mai.

The burnt-out Maimai seemed to regard every male animal as a father, and still shouted relentlessly, "Dad, I feel so bad, I don't want an injection..."

"Be good and go to bed!" The man who scolded him in a low voice was obviously helpless in his blunt tone, and it sounded like he was also a man who didn't know how to deal with children.

"No, no, woo woo woo, I want Dad to hug me, and Mai Mai wants to hug me!"

Not getting the hug he wanted, Mai Mai protested on the bed with his short legs, crying like a lost beast, "I want to hug, Mai Mai wants to hug!"

Ding Dong's hands and feet were numb, and he was trying to open his eyes to coax Mai Mai to stop messing around, but he unexpectedly picked up Mai Mai on the hospital bed by the man muttering "Troublesome brat".

"Satisfied? Brat."

"I'm Mai Mai, not a brat."

One big and one small actually bickered.

Mai Mai is in Qin Yuan's arms?He holds him?
This fact completely woke Ding Dong up, she lay stiffly on her stomach, immersed in shock, while the tug-of-war between one big and one small was still going on.

"Satisfied? Now close your eyes and go to sleep!" Qin Yuan has lost his composure, and his voice sounds very annoyed. Even if he is the absolute king in the adult world, he still has nothing to do with the little brat who doesn't play cards rationally.

"No, no, Maimai wants to listen to stories to sleep! A father who doesn't tell stories is not a good father!" The little guy puffed up his cheeks and bargained with Qin Yuan, with a cute look that made people laugh and cry.

"The little guy who pushes forward..." Qin Yuan seemed to be defeated, and there was a bit of tenderness in his tone unconsciously, "he is a seedling that can be cultivated..."

Because of the innocent face of the child in his arms, his mood seemed to clear up, and his stern face revealed a trace of inadvertent tenderness, "A story? I really have a story."

"Mai Mai wants to listen!"

Qin Yuan looked down at the child's expectant black eyes, then slowly turned his gaze to the direction of the bed, pondered for a while, and then said leisurely, "What I'm going to tell is a story about a girl who loves braids. "

The rush of time seems to be still in this early morning ward. Outside the door is the noisy world. Inside the door is the gentle and pleasant voice of a man, and a story that will move even the years.

"She has a very interesting nickname called 'Xiaoyangbao'".

"This nickname, other than herself, is known to only one other person in this world. It is a secret shared between them."

"Little Yangbao's favorite thing to do is to sneak that person to the seaside. There are their footprints in every corner of the seaside. The beach at night is their Garden of Eden. They are Eve and Adam. At that time they were both Too naive to think that nothing in this world could separate them..."

His voice is full of imperceptible sadness, and the beauty that was once lost through the long river of time can still hit people's hearts so truly today.But for the ignorant children, Qin Yuan's slow-paced story is not up to the standard of a good story, but it becomes the best lullaby. Sleepiness hits the child, and the child lies in Qin Yuan's arms, slowly shutting down like this. With his eyes closed, he fell asleep like a pig.

Qin Yuan stopped, looked down at the little guy sleeping peacefully in his arms, and when he looked up again, he met Ding Dong's clear but not sleepy eyes.

Ding Dong looked at Qin Yuan in front of him recklessly, the girl he was talking about, warming her ears so genuinely at this moment.

They looked at each other without avoiding each other's gaze, Ding Dong asked tentatively: "Is the girl you love, is she?"

Qin Yuan nodded, "The story between me and her is very long."

"I want to hear it."

Ding Dong said what was in his heart almost without hesitation. If it is said that the pursuit of that story in the past was entirely due to Qin Yuan's persecution and her own atonement psychology.So at this moment, she is eager to continue listening, just out of the pure desire in her heart, Qin Yuan and the girl named "Xiaoyangbao", their youthful stories like a song and fire touched Ding Dong's heartstrings, in her memory Her youth is too pale and boring, she envies others to have such wanton youth.

Her urgency did not immediately get a response from Qin Yuan, he seemed to be caught in thinking about the past, the man who had everything, but at this moment, a hole was torn in his perfect and proud mask, and a touch of loneliness was written on his face.

He suddenly asked her, "What do you think is the most unfortunate thing in the world?"

His question made Ding Dong a little surprised, because in the eyes of others, the extraordinary life of a proud man like Qin Yuan has nothing to do with the word "unfortunate".Those magazines and media who pursued him praised him between the lines as a man who held his fate firmly in his hands like a god. As long as he wanted to, he couldn't do it without him. Ding Dong also believed in this way before, but now, looking at Luo Ji Ding Dong's deep-rooted judgment on Qin Yuan began to waver.

She began to seriously think about his question. In the past, she was exhausted in running around for her livelihood, and never calmed down to think about the greatest misfortune in life. Qin Yuan's question was an opportunity for her to look back on the past 25 years, and finally came to a conclusion: She's had a terrible time with her life.

Ding Dong's life is the life of a loser.

"The greatest misfortune in life..." she murmured, unable to hide her loneliness, "Poverty and desolation, trampled on self-esteem..."

She thought of her fiancé Sheng Kuang who was being imprisoned, and her wedding that was likely to fail, she lowered her eyes even more, "And I can't be with the person I love."

"You can't be with someone you love..." Qin Yuan chewed on these words.

His expression was a little dazed, "Seeing her put on a wedding dress, laugh in another man's arms, and give birth to another man's child, this life has nothing to do with me..."

He suddenly raised his eyes to look at Ding Dong, his eyes were still dazed and fragile one second, but the next second they became vicious like knives, and Ding Dong flinched with that ruthless look.

At this moment, Qin Yuan seemed to be the devil when we first met again, the scarlet blood around his mouth seemed to have not dried completely, and he was blowing the cold wind from hell in Ding Dong's ear.

He sneered, "How could I let this happen."

Such a ruthless Qin Yuan made Ding Dong realize that if a girl falls in love with a man like him, she might be entangled for the rest of her life, and she will never stop until she dies.

Maybe the girl he loved was dead.

Her eyes were full of sympathy, and she asked softly, "Then what is your answer? In your eyes, what is the greatest misfortune in life?"

Qin Yuan put the sleeping Mai Mai on the bed, covered him with a quilt, Ding Dongba's eyes followed him, but he transformed into that gloomy Qin Yuan again, stood up and walked to the side of the bed with his back to her.

The morning sun shines on his broad shoulders, he stands in the sun, but Ding Dong suddenly feels that no amount of sunshine can drive away the haze in his heart.

This man who is carrying darkness seems to have nothing to do with sunshine.

"Do you know what the furthest distance in the world is?"

He raised such an inexplicable question again.

Ding Dong was at a loss, "I never thought about this question."

"The farthest distance in this world is when I stand in front of her, but she..."

He stopped again and fell into silence again. Ding Dong stood behind him, half-speaking for him, with a dazed expression on his face.

She had to admit that she was a dull listener, and her limited intelligence could not understand Qin Yuan's intentions well.

"I'll take you to a place tomorrow." Qin Yuan said suddenly.

"what?"

Standing in the sun, Qin Yuan turned his head and released a smile that could turn all living beings upside down at her, instantly fascinated the eyes of the onlookers.

That smile was too gentle.

"If you must travel through time, there must be the place where the dream begins."
