"In the future, I'll protect you guys well and not let this kind of thing happen again …"
Ji An'an heard his firm guarantee, but her mind drifted away as she remembered something from a long time ago. Her face immediately lost all color.
Teng Yiyang didn't hear her voice. He let go of her, but when he touched her face, he was stunned, "An An, why is your face so pale?"
He raised his hand to touch her face, but she held his hand. "It's nothing. Maybe it's because he was scared."
Teng Yiyang frowned and wrapped her two hands in his, "Your hands are also very cold, go down and ask Nanny Lee to boil some ginger water for you."
Ji An'an bit her lips and forced a smile. "Alright."
Seeing that she wasn't in a good mood, Teng Yiyang thought she was really scared, so he stopped pursuing the matter.
At night, Teng Yiyang coaxed his son to sleep.
Ji An'an sat at the head of the bed and watched him read the story to her son with a voice comparable to a broadcast speaker. She didn't know if it was because of the light or because it was very nice to watch, but she felt that he was covered in a yellow halo around him.
Shuibao fell asleep very quickly.
Teng Yiyang put away the book and raised his head to look at her gaze, which she did not manage to retract in time. He smiled complacently, "Are you enchanted by my magnetic voice and handsome appearance?"
If it was a normal day, she would definitely glare at him and say that he was thick-skinned.
But to his surprise, she just smiled at him. She felt a bit perfunctory and told him that she was going to sleep with Shuibao tonight. She was afraid that Shuibao would wake up in the middle of the night if he got scared.
Teng Yiyang slightly raised his eyebrows. He didn't argue with her at this moment and nodded as he left the room.
When the door was gently closed, Ji An'an's eyes were filled with tears as they gushed out bit by bit. Closing her eyes, she covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.
Why is it so hard to love?
These two days, Ji An'an and Shuibao lived in the old house and the old people in the house were very happy.
However, Teng Yiyang was getting more and more depressed.
It was because he noticed that Ji An'an had become more and more distant from him, to the point where he felt as if they had returned to the stage where they were reunited.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and stopped her in the laundry room.
"An An, have I done anything wrong recently?"
Ji An'an was at a loss. "No, why do you ask?"
Teng Yiyang was even more confused, "Since there isn't any, why are you so cold to me? Sometimes, if I want to get close to you, you will have all sorts of reasons to lie to me. "
He stepped forward and reached for her arm.
Ji An'an retreated away from him, stroking her hair unnaturally. "What are you talking about? I don't understand. I'm going to dry my clothes now."
After saying that, she could only see the self-deprecating smile on his face. "Look, it's like this. You're looking for reasons to avoid me. An An, tell me honestly, what happened to us?"
Ji An'an lowered her eyes. "No, you're overthinking it."
Teng Yiyang laughed, "An An, I'm not stupid, I have eyes, if you have any objections towards me, you can say it like you did in the past, I can change that, but I can't stand your silence. You are clearly living under the same roof, yet you are like a person from two different worlds."
After saying so, the person in front of him slowly raised his head. The water in his eyes was slightly moving, and it was a little cold.
Teng Yiyang's heart tightened under her gaze and suddenly wanted to retreat. He had a premonition that what she was going to say next would not be what he wanted to hear.
"Forget it, don't say anymore. I have no more problems, continue …"
"Since you can't take it, let's part ways," she smiled, "We are originally from two different worlds."
He had already taken a step forward, and stopped abruptly when he heard this.
He turned and stared at her in disbelief. "What did you say?"
"Yiyang," she tried her best to raise the corner of her mouth and said, "I want to bring Shuibao back to B City in two days, and we'll do as we said before. You have the right of access, so if you want to see him, you can give me a call in advance."
Teng Yiyang quickly walked in front of her, holding back the anger in his chest, "Ji An'an, do you know what you're saying?"
Ji An'an looked away and whispered, "I know. If Grandpa Teng wants to see Shuibao, I will bring Shuibao to visit him at least once every two months. As for the rest, if you have any questions, you can ask them."
"Problem?" This is a big problem! "
Teng Yiyang was infuriated. He grabbed her shoulders with both of his hands, causing Ji An'an to reflexively step back. Then, she was pushed to the door by him.
Her back felt painful from the collision, but she didn't show it. She could feel that the person before her had already lost some control over his emotions.
Teng Yiyang looked down at her condescendingly, and squinted his eyes coldly, "An An An, what exactly do you mean? Didn't you say that we would get back together? Why did you suddenly change your mind? What do you mean by people from two worlds? That was a metaphor! Do you understand? If you weren't in the same world as me, where would you have run off to! "
"If I don't agree, you can forget about leaving me."
He was shouting at her almost under his breath.
She forced herself to say, "But Yiyang, in the time we've been together, I've discovered that we're not suitable for each other at all. Rather than wasting time like this, it's better to cut down the mess quickly and treat you better for me."
"But when you agreed to be together again, we had only really known each other for a day. I remember that you were very happy that day, so why did you turn around and deny it? Even if I don't do well enough, at least give me time to do well. "
Teng Yiyang's face showed pain, he couldn't help but hold her in his arms, and pleaded, "An An An, what happened, you want to treat me like this? If you have anything to say, can we settle it together? "Don't just push me away, you know, I can't do without you."
Ji An'an felt more and more pain in her chest. She couldn't bear to see him like this. She wanted to hug him back, but her hand just hung there powerlessly.
"Yiyang, I'm sorry."
Teng Yiyang's body stiffened. Then, he slowly let go of her and slammed the door.
The person behind him slid down the door slowly and hugged his knees, crying so hard that tears were coming out. He could not help but mumble, "Sorry, sorry …"
I'm sorry to be so hard on you.
I'm sorry, but please forgive my selfishness.
Sorry...
Teng Yiyang left for a few days and didn't come back.
Since they decided to leave, Ji An'an had already informed the Bei Family side. Because of the kidnapping of Shuibao, Bei Yiyuan was sent to pick them up from B City.
"An An, are you sure you want to leave?" Senior Teng was leaning on his walking stick as he stood in front of the yard.
"Yes, grandfather." She nodded.
"Then what about Yiyang?"
"I will explain everything to him before I leave. Grandpa, do not worry."
"That kid …" Senior Teng still wanted to say something, but Ji An'an already reached out her arms to hug him, "Grandpa, I will bring Shuibao back to see you often."
This time, Senior Teng finally gave up. He patted her head and said, "When you come, pick a good day, or you won't be safe on the road."
"Ok, Shuibao, say goodbye to Great Grandpa." Ji An'an was afraid that if she spoke too much, she would burst into tears and call her son.
After the grandfather and grandson parted ways, the group got into the car.
Bei Yiyuan held onto the steering wheel and asked, puzzled, "Aren't we on an afternoon plane?" Why did you leave so early in the morning? "
"I still have things to do. Take me to a place to put it down, and then you and Shuibao can go to the airport to wait for me." Ji An'an said as she checked her son's safety belt.
Bei Yiyuan thought of something, "You can't be going to see Teng Yiyang, right? What's going on with you two? Didn't we agreed to meet with our parents? I have already prepared more than a hundred ways to make things difficult for him, but now that you have separated from him, are you trying to tease me? "
Ji An'an didn't know how to explain it. "I'll explain it to you later. Drive your car properly."
Bei Yiyuan wanted to retort, but when he saw her lower her head and send the message, he could only shut his mouth.
These few days, Teng Yiyang was holed up in Feng Qingyi's villa, living his days of Zuisheng and dreaming.
At the beginning, Feng Qingyi was shocked by the look of him giving up on himself. He knew that he was used to it later on, so he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he just let him go.
But today, Feng Qingyi couldn't sit still anymore.
"I just received news that your wife is bringing your son home." He intentionally glanced at the person who was lying on the sofa.
He was surprised. "Hey, why didn't you react at all?"
The person on the sofa said coldly, "I've been informed about it from my old dwelling yesterday."
Feng Qingyi acknowledged and just when he turned his head, he quickly reacted, "That's not right, why are you not in a hurry at all!"
"What's the use of being anxious?"
"Go and bring him back!"
"Don't bother me."
"Eh, you …"
Feng Qingyi didn't know what to say. He shrugged and prepared to get up, but suddenly his phone rang. He picked it up and looked, and suddenly jumped up, "Yiyang, An An sent you a WeChat. Quickly look at what she sent!"
The person on the sofa was stunned. He slowly stood up and stared at his phone for a while before extending his hand, "Give it to me."
Feng Qingyi immediately handed it over with his doggy legs and then leaned over, "Could she be worried because you haven't been back for so long? Or perhaps you know that you're wrong and you shouldn't have used your temper and wanted to make up with you? "
Teng Yiyang was moved. If that was the case, he could consider not replying for 10 minutes and leave her in the dark. He would only reply when she was in a hurry.
But when he saw the conversation in the chat window, the heat in his eyes gradually froze.
Wife: Yiyang, I have something to tell you. I'll wait for you at Green Mountain Temple until 3 PM.
Feng Qingyi read this sentence twice and couldn't understand it no matter how hard he thought, "Yiyang, is she trying to make peace with you?"
However, the reply he got was a complete silence.
He asked again, "Are you going to keep your appointment?"
Teng Yiyang lay back down, "Not going."
Feng Qingyi felt the temperature in the living room go down even more. He touched the goosebumps on his arms and didn't dare to ask anymore. He was prepared to go to the kitchen to boil some hot water to drink.
But when he returned with the water, the living room was empty.
Teng Yiyang drove the car aimlessly around the streets. There were still several hours until her appointed time.
He was very agitated.
From between the lines of the message, he smelled a disturbing message.
It was even more disturbing than the day in the old house when she had looked into his eyes and told him to separate.
He believed that as long as he set foot on that place and met her, many things that happened before would be changed.
He parked where he wanted to and walked down the road with his hands in his pockets.
On both sides were French parasol trees, and the ground was covered with yellowing leaves.
So it was already autumn.
He stepped on the fallen leaves and turned into an alley.
It was only after he had walked a distance that he remembered this place.
Years ago, he was injured and spent some time in a nearby hospital.
He didn't expect that he would walk all the way here today.
He stood still, as if recalling those days.
As far as the eye could see, an old shop came into view.
He looked for a place to sit and went in.
Normally, he would not enter such a small store.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?" Since it was already past lunchtime, there were not many people in the restaurant. The owner wiped his hands and walked up to them and asked enthusiastically.
Teng Yiyang glanced at the shop. Although it wasn't big, it was still clean. He looked at the menu on the wall and casually said, "A wonton."
The owner smiled and replied, "Alright, please wait for a few minutes."
As soon as he left, the restaurant became quiet. There was only the sound of cutting vegetables and the sound of the door curtains being blown by the wind.
Teng Yiyang picked up his phone and opened Ji An'an's WeChat. The latest news was still the same as before. His fingers moved slightly as he slowly pulled it up.
Looking at the chat logs from before, the corner of his mouth curled into a bitter smile.
I want to see you, but I don't dare to.
A few minutes later, the boss brought out the wonton.
Teng Yiyang quit Weibo and put his phone on the table.
Just as the boss was about to leave, he turned to the side and saw the familiar desk on his phone.
Teng Yiyang looked up and saw the boss staring at the photo on his phone. Just as he was about to put his phone away, he heard the boss hesitating.
"This girl?"
"You know him?"
The boss suddenly clapped and said cheerfully, "I do. Eight years ago, whenever she came here, she always ate one serving for herself. My wife teased her saying if she was packing for her boyfriend or not, she said she liked him. He even said that he would bring him here when his legs recovered. But later on, she came alone. "
As he said the last sentence, the boss's tone was somewhat regretful.
When the other person mentioned packaging, Teng Yiyang immediately recalled the scene from the depths of his memory.
"Yiyang, it's great that you're the owner of the wonton shop. You even gave me a steamed dumpling as a gift. Eat it while it's still hot."
"Yiyang, when you're discharged, I'll take you to that restaurant to eat. Wonton still needs to be delicious!"
But then why didn't she come?
The boss continued excitedly, "I wonder how she is doing now? "My wife likes her. She's cute, obedient, and sensible. My wife said that anyone who can marry her will be lucky."
Teng Yiyang had a bitter throat, "Boss, the girl you're talking about is my wife, and the person you wanted to take with you is also me."
The owner was very surprised and looked him up and down, "Good, good, good. Young man, you look like you're a genius …" Hey, kid, where are you going? You haven't eaten yet? I haven't found you a zero yet! "
The owner chased after him with a hundred yuan bill in his hand, but he was already gone around the corner.
Teng Yiyang picked up his car and sped towards Qingshan Monastery.
He couldn't wait to see her. He wanted to tell her that, no matter what, he wouldn't let her go.
It was impossible to leave his world!
Green Mountain Temple was located on a mountain in A City. The mountain road was curving and Teng Yiyang was speeding up the mountain.
When he got there, he got out of the car and was about to step onto the stone steps when he caught a glimpse of the person standing beside him from the corner of his eyes.
He took a breath, smiled slightly, and walked over. "I've been waiting for a long time. I'm sorry."
Ji An'an thought that he wouldn't come, she didn't expect him to come.
She walked up to him, stopped in front of him, and smiled. "It's good that you're here. I want to talk to you."
Teng Yiyang nodded, "I also have something to say to you, but I can wait for you to finish."
"Then shall we take a walk?" she asked.
"I'll listen to you." He has the look of one who can say anything.
The more he acted this way, the more guilty Ji An'an felt. She turned her gaze away from him, not daring to look at him as she stepped onto the stone steps.
"Do you remember how many steps there were here?"
Teng Yiyang followed her footsteps and walked beside her. When he heard her words, he blurted out, "Level 108. Although I've only came here once with you, don't underestimate my memory."
Ji An'an recalled the impatient look he had when they arrived a few years ago and said that they shouldn't call him again when they came to this place in the future. Although she said that, she didn't urge him to leave that time and just found a place to stay alone.
"The Buddhist name on the mountain gate is mostly on one hundred and eight steps, not representing one hundred and eight arhats. Every floor here represents a type of trouble in the world, one hundred and eight layers." The Buddhist name on the mountain gate is mostly on one hundred and eight steps, not representing one hundred and eight arhats.
As Ji An'an was walking, she was interrupted by a strange expression on her face. "You didn't come here today to tell me that you are going to work?"
The originally chaotic mood couldn't help but be amused by these words.
"What are you thinking? Even if I want to go, I have to go to a nunnery, okay? "It's not here either."
After hearing that, Teng Yiyang heaved a sigh of relief and said with relief, "You scared me to death. Alright, continue talking."
Looking at his delighted expression, Ji An'an didn't know if her words would be able to make him so relaxed.
Fifty-two steps.
She opened her mouth and said, "I still remember that time when I begged you to bring me here. You said that you don't believe in gods and buddhas, and ran to the side instead of following me to see the master."
Teng Yiyang thought for a while and had an impression. "You said it again. You came all the way here just to ask for a signature. I really admire you."
She smiled and said, "Back then, that master gave me the contract, but I still have a deep impression of him and I haven't forgotten about him."
Teng Yiyang wanted to say that it was all a lie, but seeing her pious look, he did not beat her down and casually asked, "Then what did he say?"
Ji An'an's expression was slightly stiff, but she quickly covered it up. "What I'm looking for is the marriage contract. The signature says: 'One gets to rejoice, the other gets to fear'."
When Teng Yiyang heard that it was a marriage contract, he was slightly filled with anticipation, "What do you mean?"
Ji An'an's voice became slightly softer, if one listened carefully, they would hear her trembling. "Master said it's better to give up than to ask for more."
Teng Yiyang paused and tried to change the topic, "It's too boring to talk about this. I don't think there's anything fun here. I'll take you somewhere else."
Now that she had reached the last step, Ji An'an turned around and looked at the people three to four steps lower than her, water rippling in her eyes.
"The signature is to tell us that there are too many things between you and I that we don't wish for. If we want each of us to be well, then we must have money."
Teng Yiyang gradually stopped smiling, "What exactly do you want to talk about with me today?"
"Four years ago, I was pregnant with Shuibao. I think, with a child, we should be able to put aside our problems, but I didn't expect that there would be a car accident. In the emergency room, I told myself that I would never be with you again in this life."
Speaking of that car accident, Teng Yiyang's expression froze and his anger disappeared. No matter how long it took, it was still his deepest guilt.
"Are you trying to say that Shuibao and I are your choice?"
"At first, I was skeptical about the signature until this time, when I decided to walk together with you properly, then the kidnapping of Shuibao happened again …"
Ji An'an bit her lips, her watery eyes rippling under the sunlight. "Yiyang, I have no choice but to believe that we can't continue this."
Teng Yiyang stepped onto the stairs and held her shoulders tightly with both of his hands, staring at her in disbelief, "Even now, I still don't believe in those gods and devils, what choice, and what can't be continued. An An, if you want to find an excuse, you have to find one that's decent, this, I can't accept it."
She had been trying hard not to blink, but now she couldn't hold it in any longer.
Tears fell as he shook her shoulders.
Ji An'an lowered her head, unable to continue her grief. "I don't believe it either, but again and again, Yiyang, we have let Shuibao down. Since young, we have owed him too much. I can't put him on the brink of death."
"Master said that life can only be obtained by learning to give it up. I've put it down very hard all these years, I just want Shuibao to live on. I don't have much hope as long as he grows up safely and healthy."
She leaned her head on his shoulder and cried, "I also want to live with you for a lifetime, but fate forced me to choose between the two of you. I can't let go of Shuibao, I can only let you down."
As the pressure on her shoulders lessened, he pulled her into his arms, closed his eyes and said painfully, "An An, don't believe this."
Ji An'an sobbed in his embrace, "But we can't afford to gamble. We've learned this from the past twice. I don't dare to bet anymore. Shuibao is still so young …"
Teng Yiyang hugged her tightly. His eyes were moist, and his heart hurt so much. He wanted to tell her a lot of things, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.
"Yiyang, perhaps this is fate."
Ji An'an spoke with great difficulty, enunciating every word.
Every word penetrated his heart.
Teng Yiyang stood on the steps, looking past her flying hair at the simple and solemn temple gate. The sun shone brightly, and everything became a blur.2
Suddenly, he realized that this time around, he and she had truly reached the end.
