It's Too Hard to Be Alone
Some love, perhaps because it was too perfect, God would be so cruel to break them apart.
If the accident had not happened more than 20 years ago, the love between Qin Sheng's parents would have been envied by many.
When they first met, they were only 16 years old. A heavy snow had just passed, and the snow in the yard was up to their ankles. Several boys were making a snowman there, and a girl in a cotton-padded jacket with a red face stood not far away and watched them quietly, humming a song that no one had heard before.
Qin Changan was led into the yard by his father, and was instantly attracted by the girl. Later, when he recalled that day, he finally knew what it meant to be ten thousand years at a glance, and what it meant to continue the love of the previous life in this life.
His father entered the house, but Qin Changan stood outside and did not move. He kept staring at the girl, because the girl was so beautiful, especially her clear eyes, which were full of vitality.
The girl finally came to her senses and lowered her head in embarrassment.
Qin Changan walked over slowly and said directly, "My name is Qin Changan, what's yours?"
"Zhu Qinghuan," the girl said with a smile, as if she was not afraid of the strange boy in front of her.
The 16-year-old Qin Changan muttered subconsciously, "Qinghuan is the most interesting thing in the world?"
"Do you like Su Shi, too?" The girl said in surprise. Her name was taken from Su Shi's poem, Huan Xi Sha, Fine Rain and Slanting Wind in the Morning Frost. However, not everyone knew this poem in that era where there were many illiterates.
Qin Changan shook his head and said, "I've read some, but I like Li Bai more. Ten steps to kill a person, a thousand miles unstoppable."
"Oh." The girl did not argue with the boy about the literary talent of Su Shi and Li Bai. She just lowered her head and pouted, playing with her red scarf.
Qin Changan felt very strange about the girl in front of him. He was excited and nervous, and even he did not know why. He almost blurted out subconsciously, "Zhu Qinghuan, wait a few years, I will marry you."
Hearing this, the girl was stunned. Then she looked up and stared at the boy in front of her, who she had just known for a few minutes, in surprise. He was not fat, thin, or handsome, but he was tall and looked a little mature. The girl did not know why he said such a thing, but it was always a happy thing to be liked, so she covered her mouth and laughed.
At that moment, Qin Changan felt that this winter was not as cold as he had imagined. It was as if spring had arrived in an instant. The flowers were blooming and the sun was shining brightly.
In the following years, Qin Changan never saw the girl again. He had been living a homeless life. Sometimes, he was in Sijiu City, and sometimes, he was in other places. After all, it was a turbulent era. Many big shots could not control their own fates, let alone young children like them.
In the face of the times, no one was spared.
It was not until he was 24 years old that he finally returned to Sijiu City and no longer had to wander around.
At a random gathering, he saw the girl again. He immediately recognized the girl whom he had been thinking about for the past few years. He walked up to the girl again and asked directly, "Zhu Qinghuan, do you still remember me?"
Although eight years had passed between the ages of 16 and 24, his appearance would not change much. Therefore, Zhu Qinghuan still remembered Qin Changan. After all, not many boys had told her directly that they wanted to marry her, and not many boys had accurately told her the origin of her name.
"Qin Changan," Zhu Qinghuan, who was wearing a red dress, said with a smile. She was surrounded by many friends, who were looking at the ordinary-looking Qin Changan.
Qin Changan said again in a shocking tone, "I'm back to marry you."
His words were like thunder on the flat ground. The surrounding crowd was in an uproar. It should be known that Zhu Qinghuan was very popular at this time. She was the dream lover of many men. There were also many boys who chased after her, including some with excellent family backgrounds.
Zhu Qinghuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Eight years had passed, and this man was still the same as before. He had not changed at all.
"Then you should at least get me first." Zhu Qinghuan did not refuse. She also had a deep impression of Qin Changan.
Qin Changan nodded firmly and said, "Okay."
"There are many people chasing after me. Are you confident?" Zhu Qinghuan joked with a smile.
Qin Changan did not answer. He turned around and left. He did not dare to say that he was confident, but he would try his best. Even if he could not get Zhu Qinghuan in the end, he would not leave himself with regrets.
That year, Qin Changan tried his best to do what a man could do for a woman. The ending was self-evident. Zhu Qinghuan agreed to marry Qin Changan, but Qin Changan also paid a lot for it. He had offended many rivals in love, which was also a hidden danger in the future.
They got to know each other and fell in love with each other. They got married and had children. Their married life was very happy. Qin Changan worked hard for his career, while Zhu Qinghuan took care of her husband and children. They helped each other in difficult times. Their relationship was like glue, which made everyone envious.
However, that year, everything came to an abrupt end.
His wife's sudden death was a devastating blow to Qin Changan. At that time, he did not care about his father taking Qin Sheng away. Because he had completely given up on himself and could not recover from the great sorrow. At that time, he even wanted to die because he had promised to spend the rest of his life with her. Now that he was alone, he did not know how to continue living.
However, thinking of his daughter and daughter, he did not commit suicide in the end, because he was afraid that his wife would blame him.
No one knew how Qin Changan survived those years. No one knew how he vented his sorrow bit by bit. However, when everyone came back to their senses, Qin Changan had completely changed and moved forward with a heavy burden.
All these years, whether it was his wife's death anniversary, birthday, or wedding anniversary, as long as it was an important festival, Qin Changan would visit his wife. He would definitely bring a bouquet of flowers, because he knew that his wife liked flowers.
When he was alone, he would chat with her, talk about his troubles, or talk about his daughter and so on. Sometimes, he would drink half a bottle of white wine alone, as if that was the most satisfying way.
This year, Qin Sheng came back. Qin Changan thought that compared to him, his wife would want to see their son more. He knew that his wife would definitely want to see him now that his son was back. However, Qin Sheng was not in a good state, so Qin Changan did not urge him. It was just that the day after tomorrow was his wife's birthday, so he talked about it today.
When Qin Changan said this, Qin Ran felt very sad. She knew that her father would visit her mother almost every month. She thought that after so many years, that affection had long faded. It was not until today that she understood that her father's affection for her mother was too deep. It was so deep that it could not be erased even a little bit of memory.
"Dad, I'm sorry," Qin Ran said emotionally.
Qin Changan said with a smile, "How can a daughter say sorry to her father? Dad will not blame you no matter what you do, as long as you are happy."
Qin Sheng also felt bad. He hesitated for a moment, then raised his glass and said, "Let me drink with you."
Qin Changan was already satisfied with Qin Sheng's words. He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. This was the most comfortable wine he had ever drunk in all these years. He almost felt drunk. Qin Changan's eyes lit up.
A family, a table of dishes, a bottle of wine.
Although the atmosphere was not that harmonious, Qin Changan was still very happy, because all the efforts he had made over these years did not matter at this moment.
For him, his life dreams and goals had been realized long ago. He stood at the top of his level. Now he only wanted his children to be happy and enjoy his old age.
After dinner, Qin Changan went to the study. Qin Ran and Qin Sheng sat in the side hall and watched TV. The table was full of fruits and snacks. Qin Ran said absent-mindedly, "He has had a hard time these years."
"Didn't he find another one?" Qin Sheng asked, squinting.
Qin Ran shook her head and said, "No, I know he has other women, but no one has ever walked into this house. As for his women, I can understand. After all, it's too hard to be alone. But his heart can only hold our mother, no one else can live in it. "
Hearing these words, Qin Sheng felt anxious and said casually, "Sister, let's go for a drink."
Qin Ran stared at Qin Sheng in surprise. It seemed that she could understand why Qin Sheng said this. She said in a low voice, "Okay, let me make a call first."
After a while, Qin Ran finished the call and said to Qin Sheng, "Let's go. I'll take you to a place."
Qin Sheng did not care about where they were going. As long as he had alcohol to drink, it would be fine. He had not had a good drink for a long time.
Qin Ran took Qin Sheng out. Before she left, she told Uncle Gongsun that she would take Qin Sheng out to play and would not come back tonight. Of course, Gongsun did not stop her.
For Qin Ran, since Qin Sheng had come back, as her brother, she would, of course, bring Qin Sheng into her circle slowly. This was definitely a good thing for Qin Sheng. In the future, even if something happened, she could take care of Qin Sheng.
However, Qin Ran did not tell them who she would bring today.
This was a small bar located near the World Trade Center. It never received outsiders. Basically, friends brought their friends here. The owner did not rely on this to make money. It was a place for friends to chat and make fun of each other.
This bar was hidden in a private room of a western restaurant. There was a decorative bookcase in the private room. After opening the decorative bookcase, they would enter a dark path. After passing through the path, they would arrive at the bar. The inside of the bar would suddenly become bright and spacious.
Qin Ran often came here. Therefore, she led Qin Sheng into the private room with ease. There was a special waiter in the private room. There was also a face recognition system. Naturally, the system could distinguish whether they were acquaintances or not.
At this moment, Qin Ran's group of friends were already inside. They were waiting to see who this new friend of hers was. Moreover, it was a man. How could they not look forward to it?
When Qin Ran led Qin Sheng into the bar, they instantly attracted the attention of many acquaintances. Most of them knew Qin Ran but were not familiar with her. However, everyone knew that Qin Ran came here alone every time. She had never brought any friends with her. At most, she would be with her few best friends. Why did she bring a man here today?
