All the problematic characters that I have conquered are back

"It's okay, it's just that I haven't had a good rest recently."

After simply expressing that he was fine, he walked into the bathroom, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and after tidying up a little, he looked much better.

After leaving the Haida campus, Lin Zhe took the tram to the old city south of the river, and crossed the sparkling river in the early morning sun.

Compared with the new city north of the river, although the urban buildings in the old city are old, the overall environment is quieter and the pace of life is slower than in the north of the river.

Lin Zhe walked on the streets of the old city, feeling the profound heritage here.

In the future, if possible, I can move to the old city to live after graduation.

Following the route he remembered, Lin Zhe finally stopped in front of a bakery with a very elegant facade.

It's a little different from what I remember, but overall it's getting better.

"jingle--"

As Lin Zhe pushed the door open, the bell above the door frame shook slightly, making a crisp sound.

"Here, what do you need?"

A mature and gentle voice came from the door of the glass cabinet at the front desk.

Immediately, a graceful figure wearing an apron lifted the curtain and appeared in front of Lin Zhe.

She was wearing a beige long dress at home, perhaps because of the apron tied in front of her body, so her figure looked extraordinarily mature and graceful.

The woman's hands were still stained with a little white flour, but after seeing Lin Zhe, she stood there in a daze, and a wave appeared in her gentle and beautiful eyes.

"Long time no see, Aunt An Lan."

It wasn't until Lin Zhe greeted him with a smile that the other party came back to his senses, and a moved expression appeared on his face, and he twitched his upturned nose lightly.

It has been almost a year since the last time we met. After all, he has never stepped into this store since the encore was made up by himself that day.

However, seeing that the mother and daughter can live so well now, Lin Zhe is still very relieved.

Perhaps, the self-esteem and stubbornness hidden in Anke's character came from An Lan in front of him.

In Lin Zhe's memory, since he met Anke, the mother and daughter have always been a single-parent family, and he has never met Anke's father.

When An Lan was young, she lived alone with An Ke. It can be said that she suffered a lot, but every time she saw An Ke's mother, she always had a serious and gentle expression on her face.

It was also An Lan's decision to let Encore study in Lin Zhe's elementary school. She wanted Encore not to be limited to a school with disabilities, but to live and grow like a real normal person.

She also understands that this matter will be very difficult, and her daughter will suffer unnecessary grievances because of it.

But when it came to the decision on this matter, even in the face of An Ke's apparent fear, uneasiness, and evasive expression when he was young, An Lan still had the heart to transfer him to Lin Zhe's elementary school class.

However, judging from the results, the mother's approach was correct, which is why Encore can continue to live with such a beautiful posture.

An Lan raised her flour-stained hand, wiped the slightly moist corners of her eyes with the smooth back of her hand, and said with emotion: "Really, I didn't come all of a sudden, I was worried for a long time..."

Lin Zhe's disappearance was indeed a bit sudden, which really worried An Lan for a long time. Even during the period before, she occasionally inquired about Lin Zhe's affairs.

Until recently, my daughter suddenly told her about her reunion with Lin Zhe with a smirk on her face one day.

Lin Zhe touched his nose in embarrassment, and said in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, I made you worry, but something just happened."

In fact, there is no way to do this. If I continue to touch her after making it up, then Encore will never be able to go to the future.

"Xiao Zhe, sit down first."

After finishing speaking, An Lan walked briskly back to the back kitchen, and when she came out again, she took off her apron and washed off the dirt on her hands.

After making a cup of coffee for Lin Zhe, he served a strawberry pie according to what Lin Zhe liked in his memory, and placed it in front of him.

Lin Zhe said considerately: "Is it okay to leave the rest behind? In fact, you don't need to take care of me so much."

However, An Lan shook her head with a smile and said, "It's okay, I've already adjusted the time, and I just need to bring it out when the time comes."

While speaking, he also pulled away the chair in front of Lin Zhe and sat down.

Observing Lin Zhe's glance towards the back kitchen, An Lan's aunt's smile showed on Qingli's face, and she said lightly:

"Are you looking for Encore? She hasn't come back yet, but it should be soon. Let me occupy this time for a while."

An Lan raised her slender and smooth wrist and looked at her watch. It would be a while before her daughter came back.

At close range, An Lan in Lin Zhe's eyes didn't seem to have been eroded by time, but the expression on his face became more mature than before.

If An Lan and An Ke were put together, no one would believe that they were mother and daughter. They were more than enough to be sisters.

Compared with the strong and tired posture before, An Lan now looks more gentle and charming, and there is no frown between her brows.

Although it seemed to Lin Zhe that they hadn't seen each other for more than a year, it seemed to An Lan that it had been a long time.

From time to time, with a gentle smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to touch Lin Zhe's head, feeling that the little boy back then has grown into an adult now.

Boys have changed a lot from high school to university. If it was the way it was before, An Lan might not be able to recognize it at a glance.

"By the way, according to Anke, do you plan to open a branch near Haida in the new urban area?"

Lin Zhe picked up a small piece of strawberry pie and stuffed it into his mouth. Feeling the sweetness and softness, he remembered what Encore had said before, so he asked.

"Oh, Xiaozhe already knows, Enke must have told you."

An Lan supported her chin with one hand, and raised her other hand to gently pin up the slightly curly hair beside her ear.

For the convenience of making snacks, the long hair at the back of the head was coiled up high, revealing the elegant snowy neck like a swan.

Gives people the feeling of a gentle and virtuous house wife.

Lin Zhe nodded: "Yes."

Not only why, looking at An Lan now, Lin Zhe thought of her he had seen before, her young and beautiful face always had a touch of gloom.

Although serious yet gentle, that Mo's slightly tired expression seemed to be forcing himself.

After all, An Lan, who was raising An Ke alone, was still very young at that time.

But she resolutely gave up her bright future and chose to keep Encore by her side. As a mother, she even acted as a serious father, pulling the girl up step by step.

For this, Lin Zhe still felt sorry for her.

If it were himself, he might not be able to make such a sacrifice, betting on his upcoming bright future, and choose another more difficult path.

Maybe it's because of Encore, so An Lan is still unmarried, and has lived alone with Encore, who was born with defects.

However, the difficult time has passed, and Lin Zhe still prefers the woman in front of him who has realized his humble dream.

It was as if she had finally shed that pretendingly strong and heavy armor, and changed back to what she should have been.

"This is the store I'm looking at so far. How about it? I have a good vision."

In Lin Zhehuang's mind, An Lan did not know where to take out a layout map of the surrounding stores near Haida, and pointed her slender index finger upwards. The one on the west gate of Haida has a relatively large traffic flow, and it is also facing The storefront in the opposite neighborhood said.

And Lin Zhe couldn't help being stunned when he saw An Lan's look of anticipation like a girl's.

"Huh? Do I still have flour on my face?"

An Lan subconsciously touched her cheek with her hand, and at the same time showed a puzzled look in her eyes.

Lin Zhe, who came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head, saying that there was nothing wrong with it, but that he was distracted.

"Be serious, this store is what I plan to prepare for you and Anke after they get married in the future."

At this time, An Lan's face showed a stern expression as before to educate him.

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and tapped Lin Zhe's forehead lightly.

"Hey? What?"

After hearing An Lan's words, Lin Zhe thought he had heard it wrong, so a puzzled expression appeared on his face, and at the same time he tilted his head and made a puzzled sound.

This time, An Lan deliberately emphasized word by word: "I said, this store is a dowry for your future marriage with An Ke."

Lin Zhe waved his hands quickly, and said in a panic, "Wait, isn't this a little too sudden? I haven't even graduated yet."

However, facing Lin Zhe's words, An Lan showed a gesture of someone who had come here, poked Lin Zhe's forehead in an educational tone and said:

"It's not early at all. Some things need to be prepared early, and your school won't restrict people from living outside."

"If you don't like this place, you can change it, but I think this place is close to the university, and the house price is relatively stable, and the surrounding kindergartens, elementary schools, junior high schools and high schools are all good."

"If the two have children in the future, wouldn't it be closer to school?"

Indeed, there is no problem with An Lan's words, if her arrangement is really followed, including this future bakery and the excellent environment around Haida.

It can be said that Lin Zhe became a family member in one step.

But the question now is, is it too early for this kind of thing? He is not mentally prepared at all.

And besides that, if they really follow An Lan's arrangement and embark on that future, what should other people do.

In addition, Lin Zhe now has his own plans for the future.

Although breaking up with such a good thing like a pie in the sky may seem ignorant to others, Lin Zhe is also very helpless.

His dream is to build a big family where everyone can live together in harmony.

If it's just to save decades of detours in life, he can also accept Chao Ge's father's arrangement, or return to Qingyuan County and take over Yun Jing's business with Yun Xiao.

However, in the face of Lin Zhe who was a bit evasive at the moment, An Lan was still persevering in planning the future of him and An Ke.

"At that time, if I can see Enke's happy smile, maybe my mission will be successfully completed."

As she spoke, a moving smile appeared on An Lan's quiet face, her eyes were leisurely looking at the plan on the table, and her fingers drew circles on it.

Perhaps, for An Lan, entrusting the future of Encore to Lin Zhe is the one who makes her feel most at ease.

And this person can only be Lin Zhe, because along the way, she can be regarded as watching Lin Zhe grow up, and this child is also the most suitable existence for Enke.

Just when Lin Zhe was having a headache because Aunt An Lan had perfectly arranged everything for his future, the doorbell rang again.

"Dingling—" After a sound, An Lan subconsciously stood up.

And Lin Zhe also felt relieved. In some respects, Encore really resembled An Lan, especially the strength hidden under the same gentle posture.

At the same time, Lin Zhe turned his head and saw that it was not Anke who walked in, but an elderly man.

An Lan got up and greeted the old lady familiarly: "Morning, are you planning to go home after sending your grandson to kindergarten again?"

The old lady also adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose, and greeted An Lan with a smile, "Well, I've been shopping in the park for a while, and I'm planning to go home."

Most of the people living around are retired teachers from the former Haida South Campus, so most of the guests are still very self-cultivated.

This can be seen from the temperament alone.
