Four Hundred and Seventy-Two I Only Love You (I)

Every time he found her, he scolded her so angrily and helplessly.

At that time, she felt filled with happiness.

But now...

Looking back, I feel even more sad.

He no longer stood there dumbly, he just took a step back, then another step, and stood obediently to the side.

Under the gloomy sky, she looked at the man in a daze, and his every move was engraved in her eyes.

Fortunately, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, the city is basically empty and there are not many cars on the streets.

Fu Yichen finished picking up quickly, thinking that she must have left first without waiting for him. When he looked up, he saw that she was still standing there obediently. He breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curved towards her.

She also managed a smile.

That smile made him startled. After seeing her again after many years of absence, in retrospect, this was the first time I saw her smile. This made him feel a little dazed.

My heart was surging, and it took me a long time to come back to my senses.

He came forward with the fruit, took off the scarf around his neck, and put it on her. He covered her ears, which were red from the cold, and whispered: "Let's go back."

"Yeah." She nodded.

The two people walked forward side by side. Passing by a firecracker shop, Chi Weiyang paused and looked at the shop in confusion.

Fu Yichen understood her thoughts and asked with a smile: "You still want the 'fairy stick'?"

"I haven't played in years."

"Let's go in and pick." Fu Yichen said and pulled her inside.

When his hand came up, Chi Weiyang was startled. The heat seemed to penetrate through her skin and soak into every cell in her body. Her heart skipped a beat and she almost immediately withdrew her hand.

Her resisting behavior made him darken his eyes. However, in the next second, he regained his composure and turned sideways to let her go in first.

"Boss, do you still have 'fairy wands' for sale?"

"Hey, Weiyang is back?" The boss greeted him warmly.

The firecrackers that the Chi family has set off over the years have all been bought in this store, which is also a 20-year-old store in this area. He took out the 'Fairy Wand' and said: "There is another box. It is also very popular this year. I bought hundreds of boxes, and before I reached 30, all the children around me bought them all."

"Thank you." Chi Weiyang held the fairy wand in her hand.

This firework is still called the 'Fairy Wand', but it is no longer the packaging it used to be.

As time passes, many things are undergoing irreversible changes.

She was a little stunned and felt sad.

Fu Yichen took out the money to pay. The boss looked at him several times, and after a while, he suddenly recognized him, "This is your old boyfriend, a kid from the Fu family."

"..."

Chi Weiyang was embarrassed. She didn't know how to answer the words "little boyfriend".

Fu Yichen, on the other hand, smiled calmly and said, "Long time no see, boss. I didn't expect you to still remember me."

"How can I not remember it? You two used to buy a lot of fairy sticks from me every year to celebrate the New Year. I still remember the last year Weiyang came here, and took away the last ten boxes of fairy sticks from me with the New Year's money. In my store I was crying outside! I was so frightened that I thought something had happened, so I called the little girl’s parents over. I didn’t expect that you two were gone now. We are together again. You two are in love for a long time!"

The boss smiled and didn't notice the increasingly complicated expressions on the two people's faces. He glanced at Weiyang's swollen belly and said, "We already have children. When did we get married, and we didn't even notify them?"

Chi Weiyang couldn't even squeeze out a smile. She didn't say anything, just turned around and went out holding the box of fairy sticks.

As Fu Yichen listened to his boss talk about what happened that year, the image of her squatting alone in the cold outdoor and crying kept flashing in his mind. His heart felt like needles pricking his heart. He said goodbye to his boss and followed him out.

She walked in front.

He walked behind.

The two of them walked for who knows how many meters. She suddenly stopped and looked back at him.

Fu Yichen also stopped subconsciously.

The two people looked at each other with deep eyes.

"Do you have a lighter on you?"

Fu Yichen took out the lighter and handed it to her.

She said nothing, holding the lighter in one hand and the fairy wand in the other, she entered the elevator of the building. However, the floor pressed was the top floor.

Fu Yichen understood. He didn't ask, just followed her up.

On the top floor, there was a cold breeze, much colder than downstairs. He put the fruit down and took off his coat to wrap her up. Chi Weiyang was stunned for a moment, but without shirk, he just took apart the fairy wand.

A box of ten.

She gave five to herself and the remaining five to him.

He volunteered to use a lighter to light it, but he was still a little scared as before. When lighting a fire, he hides back and squints his eyes, like a crescent moon, which is very cute.

Fu Yichen looked at it and felt satisfied.

"I'll do it." He took the lighter away and lit the fairy wand neatly as before.

A bright white light bloomed immediately. Looking at the light, she couldn't help but smile.

Holding the fairy wand, wave it round in the air.

Spin, chuckle, feel the wind whistling in your ears. However, while smiling, tears flowed out.

"Fu Yichen..."

She called his name.

Fu Yichen's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse. When he heard her voice, he said "hmm" softly.

"This is the first time I've played with fairy wands in all these years. How about you? Have you and your wife, Su Suyun, played with them?" She kept looking at the sky when she asked this question.

At that time, they played with fairy wands on the rooftop, screamed on the rooftop, laughed on the rooftop, and even secretly gave each other their first kiss on the rooftop...

At that time, she naively thought that such innocence could last a lifetime...

But, later, when she got news from him again, he was already a married man.

Fu Yichen also thought of those bright pasts, looked at her sideways, one hand in his pocket, the other holding the burning fairy wand, and said after a long time: "No. Except you, I haven't played this kind of thing with anyone..."

Her eyes were wet.

"You know, I saw you the day before yesterday."

Fu Yichen looked at her suspiciously.

"To be precise, I saw your wife first." The wind blew over, and her voice trembled slightly. "She told me that I was too thin and I couldn't take care of myself when I was pregnant. So... she wanted to find a nanny from your family to take care of my daily life... When I replied to her later, I probably lost my manners a little, so... please thank her for her kindness on my behalf."

Fu Yichen's breathing became heavier, "What else did she say to you?"

"Nothing else... I thought she would slap me a few times when she saw me." She smiled bitterly.
