He was still looking at the flames when he suddenly heard Duan Yunxuan's words. He couldn't help but be startled, and then immediately raised his head in confusion as he asked: "What's wrong, you broke up, right? But I really didn't think that there would come a day where my Old Lee's judgement was wrong."
Old Lee sighed, he did not understand the meaning behind Duan Yunxuan's words.
Out of the corner of his eye, Duan Yunxuan saw that the three were happily chatting, and his hand movements had started to slow down. When they had not noticed him coming over, he lowered his voice and said: "You did not misjudge, he passed away."
"So that's how it is. Sigh, everyone has their own orders, it's fine as long as you let them go." Old Lee was stu
ed for a moment, but then he understood. No matter how unwilling one was to face something like this, there would always come a day where one had to accept reality.
Seeing that Old Lee spoke in such a simple ma
er, he wanted to retort, but seeing that there was an u
oticeable sadness in his eyes, he couldn't help but blink. Seeing that he was not mistaken, he wanted to ask for more details, when Lan Ling suddenly called out his name: "Duan Yunxuan, how are you doing?
"What!?" Do you know that this is a very technical topic? Just wait a bit longer and it will be done soon! " Duan Yunxuan responded unrestrainedly, the strength of his hands increased by a lot, the flames burned brighter, and the food that should have taken more than ten minutes to finish was already fully cooked after a short while.
He grabbed the plate and placed it on the metal plate. Then, he walked over in a bad mood and put down the plate. Then, he sat down beside himself.
"Urging? Are you trying to kill the King of Hell?!" Duan Yunxuan did not wait for them to make the first move, and directly picked up a skewer and started to eat.
Su Jinyi randomly picked one to eat. Just as she took a bite, she was immediately captivated by the many different flavors within the meat, and the speed of chewing in her mouth couldn't help but increase by a bit. Even if she had pretty much eaten it, she ate even more than before.
"What? I didn't eat when you ate. Who do you think it belongs to when I'm hungry!?"
Even as Lan Ling ate, he did not forget to retort, and only He Ruiting silently praised him.
Old Lee stood where he was and smiled as he watched them play with each other. He seemed to recall the lively scene back then and subconsciously wanted to share it with his wife.
He had forgotten that his wife had died many years ago.
After the four of them ate, they were about 80% full, but the one who ate the most was still Su Jinyi.
Just as the others were thinking of a way, He Ruiting suddenly patted her back. This sudden movement caused Su Jinyi to jump in fright, and just as she was angry, she saw him looking at her with a smile: "Stop hiccuping."
Su Jinyi blinked her eyes, she was indeed right, and only now did she know that it was to help him, her face couldn't help but flush red, and she said: "Thank you."
Seeing that the two of them had finally opened their mouths, Lan Ling couldn't help but laugh with an expression of gratification. He didn't expect that today's celebration would turn into a scene where the two of them could get back together.
"Alright, do what you need to do. Don't take my place." Seeing that they had eaten enough, Old Lee cleaned up the wreckage on the table and chased them away.
However, although he said that, his expression was not one of malice.
"Mr. Lee, we will come back again when we have time." Lan Ling got up first, he was already used to his appearance, bowing to him, he then turned and walked towards the place where the car was parked.
"Let's go as well. Thanks for the hospitality." Su Jinyi took the initiative to hold He Ruiting's hand. His body couldn't help but tremble, and her expression that was not a smile on her face became much gentler.
He Ruiting nodded, and the two of them followed.
When Duan Yunxuan was the only one left, he did not move for a long time. Old Man Li saw that he had something to say, so he sat down unhurriedly.
"Speak, what is it?"
"Your wife ??" He thought about it for a long time and finally did not have the courage to say it. It was only after some time that he realized that there had been two people who had left the stall. Now, there was only one person left.
"She was living well in heaven. A few days ago, she asked me to live well and she wanted to enjoy a few more years of living as a single person."
Old Lee chuckled, his smile carrying a hint of bitterness, no one knew if his words were true or false, maybe, those were words that encouraged him to persevere on and live on.
Duan Yunxuan was silent for a long time, and didn't move at all until Lan Ling's voice came from afar. Only then did he slowly stand up, and before he left, he heavily patted his shoulder and said: "Take care."
Although the two of them were separated by several tens of years, they still understood each other very well. It was as if they had finally found a good friend.
Old Lee watched as his figure gradually disappeared into the distance. Laughing, he completely buried the sorrow in his eyes, then stood up to wipe the grease off the table.
Returning to the car, Duan Yunxuan didn't seem to be in a good mood, but in order to prevent them from worrying, he started the car and asked: "Take you guys back?"
"Mn, go back. I'm also a little worried that Xiao Qiu won't be able to take care of the child by herself."
"Then come to my place."
Duan Yunxuan listened to Su Jinyi's words, and saw the unwillingness to go back on Lan Ling's face, maybe because she had gone too far, but after hearing his words, her eyes lit up with a twinkling light.
When the car stopped in front of his house, Duan Yunxuan opened the door and saw Xiao Qiu sitting by himself in the living room, watching TV. Upon hearing their footsteps, he turned his head and called out to them: "Come and sit, there's tea and all sorts of things.
Since she was not an outsider, she didn't need to be overly polite. After coaxing her child for an entire day, she also wanted to enjoy the quiet environment.
"Is the child asleep?" Duan Yunxuan took off his jacket, and took the initiative to sit by Xiao Qiu's side. He extended his arm to embrace her, and then kissed her lightly on his forehead.
"I'll go back to my room and put my clothes away. You guys can talk first."
After Su Jinyi finished speaking, she turned and walked back to the guest room, only, she did not realise that He Ruiting was following behind her, and just as she was about to close the door, a pair of large hands appeared in her line of sight.
Afraid that she would pinch his hand, she immediately let go of the door handle. Seeing He Ruiting walk in directly, she pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
But He Ruiting also didn't say anything, and just pulled her into his embrace, while tightening his grip.
When Su Jinyi found it hard to breathe, she coughed twice and said, "Do you want to strangle me to death?"
