Wishing that there would be no separation at this moment.
Anyone would think that Qin Sheng owed too many love debts and he would have to pay them off for the rest of his life.
Old Master Qin's divination all those years ago had come true.
The reason why Old Master Qin left with his only grandson was that he was afraid that Qin Sheng would hurt too many girls in Sijiu City. Sijiu City was different from other places. If Qin Sheng hurt too many girls, he would make a lot of enemies for the Qin Family.
Old Master Qin was wise.
After Qin Sheng left Pudong Airport with Chang Baji, they went straight to Middle Huaihai Road. Hao Lei was still a little worried, so he arranged a car to protect Qin Sheng. However, he had already told Chang Baji about it.
Although this was Shanghai, it was safer to have more insurance.
An expensive old foreign-style house near Middle Huaihai Road was far from the bustling Bund and Pudong. It was a bit far from the main road, Middle Huaihai Road. Compared with it, it was quiet and leisurely. This used to be the rich area of old Shanghai.
The old rich liked to live in such an unassuming old foreign-style house. The new rich and the young preferred the mansions on both sides of the Huangpu River. It seemed that the closer they were to the bustling and bustling place, the more successful they would be and the more sense of accomplishment they would feel.
It was said that there was a legendary story behind every old foreign-style house. It was more likely to be the ups and downs of a family. This old foreign-style house with high walls and closed doors was the same. From the outside, one could only see the wall covered with vines. No one knew who the owner of this old foreign-style house was.
It was said that the original owner of this old foreign-style house was a tycoon in the Bund. He had been living in Shanghai for most of his life and could be regarded as a legendary figure in his time. But in the end, he could not resist the wheel of history. The younger generation went abroad during the turbulent times, while the old couple was unwilling to leave their homeland. Unfortunately, their later years were more miserable.
The previous owner was also a legendary figure. He was born in a prestigious family and had a successful life in the Bund. Many people were envious of him. Unfortunately, he was involved in a storm and ended up in jail. He could only stay in jail for the rest of his life.
His current master almost had the same fate. Compared to other people who became rich through unorthodox means, they met a benefactor and started to rise rapidly. However, the original sin was too heavy and he was almost punished. He had no choice but to flee abroad. Fortunately, he met an expert when he was young, who gave him pointers so that he could accumulate good deeds over the years. In the end, he met a benefactor and luckily escaped from danger.
Now, he had completely cut himself off from the past and was living a leisurely life in his later years. When he had nothing to do, he would go sightseeing and collect things. Most of the time, he didn't live here anymore.
He was Jiang Xianbang.
The master he met when he was young was Qin Sheng's grandfather, the Old Master of the Qin family.
And his benefactor was Qin Sheng.
Rather than saying it was Qin Sheng, it would be better to say it was the daughter of an old friend whom he kindly took in when he was young. This old friend's daughter was Qing 'er.
In the past three years when Qin Sheng was missing, Qing 'er's life didn't seem to change at all. She was still so calm and had no desires. Her daily life was still the same, without too many ups and downs. If it was an ordinary person, he might have been tortured to madness.
However, Qing 'er's heart was extremely calm, without any impurities and desires, so she could be so calm.
The news of Qin Sheng's disappearance was naturally told to Qing 'er by Jiang Xianbang. In the beginning, Jiang Xianbang had been hiding it from Qing' er. As long as he didn't tell Qing 'er what happened, Qing' er might never know. After all, Qing 'er didn't have much interaction with Qin Sheng's circle. Even though she knew those people around Qin Sheng, she didn't have any contact information.
Jiang Xianbang wanted to keep it a secret until the end of time because he didn't want Qing 'er to be sad.
But in the end, he still couldn't help telling Qing 'er because he didn't want to see Qing' er getting thinner because of lovesickness, which made his heart ache too much.
Qing 'er rarely took the initiative to contact Qin Sheng, but occasionally sent messages to ask about him, because she knew that Qin Sheng was busy, and she also knew that Qin Sheng would call her whenever he had time, and as long as he came to Shanghai, he would definitely visit her.
However, during that time, Qing 'er didn't receive Qin Sheng's call. At first, she thought that Qin Sheng was busy, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
However, after more than half a month, Qin Sheng still didn't contact her. She didn't respond to the messages and calls she sent to Qin Sheng, which made Qing 'er a little panicked.
The only two people she cared about in this life were her uncle and Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng was the man she loved the most. Now that Qin Sheng didn't contact her, did he not want her anymore?
Qing 'er started to let her imagination run wild. Every day, she didn't want to eat or drink, and her health was getting worse. She was already very thin, but she became even thinner.
At this time, Jiang Xianbang told Qing 'er what happened.
When she knew that Qin Sheng had an accident and disappeared, at that moment, Qing 'er's world seemed to collapse in an instant. She then knew that Qin Sheng didn't abandon her, but had an accident and disappeared without any news.
During that time, Qing 'er almost washed her face with tears every day, and Jiang Xianbang couldn't comfort her no matter how hard he tried. It was not until Jiang Xianbang invited Xue Qingyan to comfort Qing' er that Qing 'er calmed down.
In the next two months, Qing 'er asked for leave from school and went to Mount Putuo to cultivate for two months. She ate vegetarian and prayed for Qin Sheng every day, which showed how deep her love for Qin Sheng was.
After returning from Mount Putuo, Qing 'er's life became more peaceful. She almost stayed at home except for class time. She drank tea, read books, played the piano, and occasionally cooked. This was her only pleasure. It seemed that only when she was immersed in the sea of music could she forget the sad things for a short time.
As a result, Qing 'er's attainments in music became higher and higher, and she was proficient in more and more musical instruments. So much so that Shangyin made an exception to promote her to be a professor, but Qing' er directly refused. She didn't care about these fame and wealth at all. She just wanted to be an ordinary teacher.
As for being a teacher in a famous foreign music hall, working with various top orchestras and masters, Qing 'er didn't care about these at all.
She was herself, and she was still herself.
Of course, Qing 'er's unsociable character was easy to offend people. Fortunately, Jiang Xianbang was protecting her, and the Qin Family was secretly protecting her. Hao Lei went to see Jiang Xianbang as soon as he returned to Shanghai and told him what should be said.
Various legends about Qing 'er were circulating in Shangyin. Of course, there were also various rumors. Some said that Teacher Qing' er had a boyfriend, and many people had seen him, but later they never saw him again. Some said that Teacher Qing 'er's boyfriend was a rich second generation, and abandoned her after he got tired of her, and so on.
Qing 'er didn't care what others said at all.
What's more, they used all kinds of means to pester her, but in the end, these people disappeared inexplicably. Such stories would happen every once in a while, and it seemed that there would always be people who didn't want to believe it.
In this way, Qing 'er spent three peaceful and difficult years. She had been waiting for Qin Sheng. As long as there was no news of Qin Sheng's death, she could wait like this for a lifetime.
Even if Qin Sheng really died, she would only have Qin Sheng as a man in this life. She would rather die alone than fall in love with someone else.
Three years had passed.
It was another peaceful and repetitive day. Today, Qing 'er had no classes. After waking up in the morning and eating breakfast, she had been practicing the piano. When it was almost time, she was ready to go to the nearby market to buy some vegetables. This was because every time her uncle came back from outside, Qing' er would personally cook for him.
When Qing 'er went out, the old housekeeper watched her disappear before returning. However, there were two bodyguards arranged by Jiang Xianbang following her in the dark. As long as there were no accidents, they would never disturb Qing' er's life. Of course, Qing 'er had long been used to it.
Although autumn had already begun in the north, Shanghai was still so stuffy. Today's temperature was still over 30 degrees. Qing 'er only wore a snow-white dress, and her casually tied hair looked slightly lazy. She didn't put on any makeup, but she was still extremely beautiful.
Perhaps it was because of these few years of lovesickness that her eyesight had deteriorated, so Qing 'er wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, looking quite artistic.
She came to the familiar vegetable shop. The auntie in the vegetable shop was already very familiar with her, and the auntie especially liked this beautiful woman. Every time, she would chat for a long time before letting Qing 'er leave.
"Miss Qing 'er, what do you want to buy today?" The middle-aged woman, who had been destroyed by life, asked with a very clean smile.
Qing 'er pursed her lips and smiled, then slowly said the dishes she wanted.
This vegetable shop was the largest in the vegetable market, so it had everything that should be needed. The auntie's son was also here to help. Every time he saw Qing 'er coming, he would secretly take a few more glances, for fear that he did not know when he would see Qing' er again.
Not long after, the auntie prepared the dishes that Qing 'er wanted. She pulled Qing' er to talk for a while before handing the dishes to Qing 'er. Of course, the price was very reasonable.
Qing 'er smiled and said thank you, then turned around and left. As she left, there was also a crowd of people in the vegetable market, as if every step that Qing' er took could freeze the air there.
The auntie's son muttered, "I don't know if I can marry such a daughter-in-law in my next life."
After hearing that, the auntie laughed and scolded, "Then you definitely don't have a mother like me."
The auntie's son scratched his head and laughed, then took the auntie's hand and said, "In the next life, the next life after that, you will still be my mother."
After leaving the vegetable market, Qing 'er went back to prepare lunch with the bought vegetables. Her uncle came back from Xinjiang today and said early in the morning that he wanted to eat some local local dishes, so Qing' er went out to buy vegetables.
Along the way, Qing 'er met a lot of neighbors, all of whom were very familiar with her. Qing' er smiled and greeted them, but never stopped to chat.
It was only a ten-minute walk from the vegetable market to the old foreign-style house. Qing 'er walked at a moderate pace. The sunlight shone through the leaves on the ground and on the wall. The breeze blew the leaves and Qing' er's beautiful hair. Nobody knew whose thoughts were blown by the breeze.
After walking through this alley and turning left, she would arrive at the old foreign-style house.
Qing 'er just walked and walked like this.
When she turned around the corner, she suddenly saw a familiar figure standing at the door of the old foreign-style house. At that moment, her heart seemed to stop beating, and her mind also went blank at this moment.
It seemed that she did not suspect anything at all, and did not even take a second look to make sure.
She seemed to know that he was back.
After a long time, she took a deep breath and took a step again. Slowly, firmly, and warmly, she walked toward him.
When she walked up to him, she asked with a smile, "Have you eaten?"
He shook his head blankly.
She smiled and said, "I'll cook for you."
After saying that, she took the initiative to take his hand and walked into the old foreign-style house with a smile.
The deeper they walked, the tighter her grip on his hand became. The deeper they walked, the more her eyes became moist, until she could see nothing in the end.
Could they never be apart again in this life?
