Chapter 183 Finale
Qi Nanfeng walked towards her and said, "The rain has stopped, shall we go?"
Xia Taoyuan looked back at the Guanyin Temple, sighed, and went down the mountain with Qi Nanfeng.
After returning home, Xia Taoyuan was always dissatisfied with Qi Nanfeng and always found fault with him. She didn't know how she became like this. Seeing her like this, Qi Nanfeng kept a certain distance from her and worked silently. He turned the soil in the vegetable garden outside the yard, planted vegetables, repaired the roof of the house, and cooked at a certain time every day. He was smart and learned everything quickly. He learned how to pay with a mobile phone and how to take a bus. He went shopping every day.
When he was out, he would often send WeChat messages to Xia Taoyuan. He saw many people on TV using WeChat to contact each other. But Xia Taoyuan never replied, never replied to him. Looking at the contact list with only Xia Taoyuan and himself, he always felt lost.
Xia Taoyuan would still often wake up crying in the middle of the night, but she never dreamed of Chu Xingluo again.
A few months later, it was already midsummer. After breakfast that day, Qi Nanfeng really didn't want to go on like this. He pulled Xia Taoyuan and said, "Taotao, we probably can't go back."
Of course Xia Taoyuan understood and nodded.
"Do you remember how we met?"
Xia Taoyuan hummed again.
"Do you still remember what you said?" Qi Nanfeng looked at her changing expression and asked tentatively.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just say what you want to say. I've said so much that I can remember everything." Xia Taoyuan couldn't help but retorted. Her temper has become more and more irritable recently.
Qi Nanfeng was a little annoyed, but he still said patiently: "You said you would be with me forever."
Xia Taoyuan was stunned for a moment when she heard this. She did say that she remembered going to Nanzhu Mansion to return the gold to him, and she said that to perfunctorily answer him. However, she was being clever at the time, and she said "for a lifetime" with her mouth, but in her heart what she was thinking was the kind of lifetime that being friends or colleagues with him would be like.
Xia Taoyuan's hands suddenly trembled. Could it be that Qi Nanfeng and she came here just because of this joke? She became irritated and suddenly burst into anger, shouting, "Get out of the way! Don't be so self-indulgent. Who wants to be with you forever? It's because of you that I broke up with Luo Luo, it's all because of you!"
Qi Nanfeng's face changed. Xia Taoyuan's words were like a knife cutting into his heart. It turned out that in her heart, he was nothing.
Qi Nanfeng was stunned for a while and thought about leaving, but he couldn't let go. He couldn't forget how painful he was after she married Chu Xingluo. If that kind of day happened again, he would rather die.
"Have you ever thought about why you and I came here? This is all destined! I don't ask you to let him go, but can you please look at me!" Qi Nanfeng also exploded, he was heartbroken.
Xia Taoyuan calmed down and said slowly: "I'm sorry, I can't let him go." Tears welled up in her eyes.
How could she tell Chu Xingluo to let go? Even though Chu Xingluo told her to forget him in her dream, she finally fell asleep late at night every day, but woke up in the middle of the night. When she woke up, she was filled with bone-gnawing longing, heart pain, and then unstoppable tears.
She didn't say these words, but Qi Nanfeng could understand. When she and Chu Xingluo got married, he was the same. He tossed and turned in sleepless nights, his heart ached so much that he couldn't bear the pain, so he used alcohol to numb himself.
"I don't ask you to give me an answer now, I just hope you can think about it seriously." Qi Nanfeng lowered his head and spoke softly as he was about to hold Xia Taoyuan in his arms.
Xia Taoyuan noticed it, pushed him away, and said angrily: "Get out!"
"Okay, I'm out!" Qi Nanfeng was so angry that nothing he said would make him happy. He no longer had his usual romantic and carefree demeanor. His eyes were filled with despair and he slammed the door and left.
Qi Nanfeng left, and Xia Taoyuan collapsed on the kang.
Time passed little by little, she felt hungry, looked at the watch, it was half past twelve, looked out the window, Qi Nanfeng had not come back.
Xia Taoyuan got up and cooked a bowl of noodles for herself. She sat at the dining table and looked at the noodles for a long time without touching her chopsticks. After another half an hour, she quietly collected the noodles and went to Qi Nanfeng's room. His room was tidy. She stood at the door for a while, then turned around and left the house and went to Xiyun Pavilion. She stayed there until the evening, and then she went home.
After searching several rooms, she still couldn't find Qi Nanfeng, and she became a little anxious. At night, she looked out the window from time to time, and she didn't know what she was expecting.
She turned on all the lights, and she was afraid. What was she afraid of? She didn't know.
In the middle of the night, it was quiet outside. She couldn't help crying. She didn't know how long she cried before she fell into a deep sleep.
Qi Nanfeng felt very distressed when he saw her lonely and helpless look from outside the window, but he couldn't go in yet. He had to wait for her to truly discover her inner self.
The next morning, Xia Taoyuan woke up and ran to Qi Nanfeng's room. No one was there, and she felt lost. At noon, she couldn't help it anymore, and sent a WeChat message to Qi Nanfeng for the first time, and then waited expectantly. But two hours passed, and there was no reply.
She looked at the messages Qi Nanfeng had sent her. At that time, he had just learned pinyin and was not very proficient in it, so he often sent incomprehensible words. Later, he gradually became proficient and sent complete sentences: "Taotao, it's time to eat." "I'm in the supermarket, look at this, it's so beautiful, I bought it for you." "Look at the sunset today, it's so beautiful." . . . . .
Xia Taoyuan burst into tears. Damn it, she never replied to him. At four o'clock in the afternoon, she sent a video call to Qi Nanfeng, but it didn't go through. She called his phone again, but it said it was turned off. She was scared, afraid that something would happen to him, and even more afraid that he would never come back.
She cried and said, "Qi Nanfeng, come back, I won't chase you away, and I won't yell at you again. Come back, I will listen to you in everything."
At six o'clock in the evening, she could no longer sit still and wanted to go find him. Just as she reached the door, she found that the man had returned.
Qi Nanfeng said nothing, didn't even look at her, and went into his room.
Xia Taoyuan followed him in and asked, "Where have you been?" His voice was full of grievance.
Qi Nanfeng turned his back to her and said, "You know, every time I think of coming to your home with you, I feel happy and fortunate. Now, I think I can't go back, whether it's North Vietnam or South Pearl. Thank you for taking me in for so long, I don't want to trouble you anymore. I found a job and will leave early tomorrow morning."
Qi Nanfeng said these words resolutely. After hearing them, Xia Taoyuan felt as if her heart was being grabbed by someone, making it hard for her to breathe. In addition, she had not eaten or drunk anything for nearly two days. She could no longer hold on and fainted on the ground.
Qi Nanfeng sighed softly, turned around, picked her up and put her on the bed. Seeing the tears on her face, he felt distressed and murmured: "Silly girl, I just scared you, how can I leave you? If I had known that you had me in your heart, I should have tried it earlier."
He went to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles, then went into the room and gently woke Xia Taoyuan up. Xia Taoyuan was surprised to see him, so she got up and hugged his waist, crying, "Qi Nanfeng, I was wrong, don't leave, I won't let you leave!"
Qi Nanfeng curled up his lips into a smile. Finally, he had waited for this day for too long.
He stopped laughing, deliberately put on a stern face, and said, "I am not yours. You keep driving me away. I can't stay here any longer."
"You are my savior. I will never drive you away. If I violate this rule, I will suffer."
Qi Nanfeng covered her mouth to prevent her from saying anything bad, but she felt aggrieved in her heart and was still stubborn, saying something about being a benefactor.
"Benefactor?" Qi Nanfeng gritted his teeth and spat out these two words.
Seeing that he was angry, Xia Taoyuan suddenly lifted up his T-shirt, pointed at the teeth marks on his chest and shoulders where she had bitten him, and whispered, "The one who was marked by me."
Qi Nanfeng almost laughed out of anger. Seeing that he remained silent, Xia Taoyuan snuggled in his arms and whispered, "The person who I leave my mark on is mine, so you can't leave me." After saying that, she raised her tearful eyes and looked at him.
Qi Nanfeng was overjoyed, but he still teased her, "But to stay by your side, I need a status. I can't just call myself someone you left a mark on."
Xia Taoyuan thought for a moment and said, "Sit down."
Qi Nanfeng followed his instructions and sat on the bed. Xia Taoyuan crossed his legs and offered her lips. Qi Nanfeng pressed her down and kissed her. He had imagined such a scene countless times. Just as he was about to take further action, Xia Taoyuan shouted, "Qi Nanfeng, I'm hungry!"
The world is big, but my wife is the biggest! Qi Nanfeng held back the love that was about to burst out and kissed Xia Taoyuan's neck fiercely, saying, "Wait!"
After dinner, Qi Nanfeng cleaned up and whispered in Xia Taoyuan's ear, "Where do I sleep?"
Xia Taoyuan's old face turned red, and he snorted, "Go back to your room and sleep!"
"Oh, I see. Then I'll talk to the boss I met today and go work for him tomorrow. It's pretty good with food and lodging provided." He said and was about to walk out.
"You dare!" Xia Taoyuan hugged him from behind and whispered, "You can sleep anywhere you want."
Qi Nanfeng couldn't hide his smile anymore, he turned around and picked her up, saying, "Then I'll reluctantly sleep with you!"
After saying that, he put Xia Taoyuan on the kang and turned off the light. . .
Three years later, it was New Year's Eve again. Xia Taoyuan was lying on the kang with a six-month-old belly, eating oranges. Qi Nanfeng was making dumplings. A little girl with a baby voice smiled and said, "Daddy, look at what I made. It's for mom and the baby in my belly."
"Okay, Luo Luo is so good." Qi Nanfeng's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, "After we finish wrapping, we will take mother to set off the fireworks."
Luo Luo chuckled and said, "Okay, Mom loves watching fireworks the most."
Qi Nanfeng looked at Xia Taoyuan lovingly, then looked out the window and said, "It's snowing outside again. Let's go watch the fireworks in the snow later."
Xia Taoyuan sat up slowly, walked to Qi Nanfeng, hugged him, and whispered, "Qi Nanfeng, I love you!"
Qi Nanfeng's smile grew deeper and deeper. He finally waited for her to say this.
(End) There may be a sequel
I want to continue writing and I don’t want Chu Xingluo to die alone, but this is a long process. I will think carefully about it and make the story more exciting.
