Chapter 7 (1/2)
Shen Lang took out a pocket watch from his arms and went back to one evening more than ten years ago
The sky was gray and old, and the dirty boy curled up in the alley, with a few withered and yellow weeds in his scattered hair and a newly stolen bread in his hand.
Pedestrians come and go in a hurry to avoid the rain, there is no time for such a small guy to stop.
”Boom!”
There was a flash of lightning in the dark sky, and suddenly there was thunder. The boy shook his little hand, and the bread fell from his arms and rolled to the corner.
He reached for the bread in a hurry.
”That...” The little girl came over with a soft voice and a little concern in her big eyes.
The boy tugged at the bread and glared at the girl.
The girl took out a delicate candy box from the cub's backpack and said to the boy, ”do you eat cream cake?”
She looks about five or six years old, two pink hands, holding a box of transparent packaging cream cake, pink face a little embarrassed.
The sky is still gloomy, the old street, this beautiful little girl who wants to come out of the fairy tale, has become the only light in the boy's eyes.
He knew where the girl's cream cake came from. It was a snack house across the street, and it was placed in the highest and most conspicuous place in the window.
”It's strawberry. It's delicious. Here you are.”
Looking at the little girl's white face, the boy suddenly lost his mind and immediately shook his head. Then, he nodded again
With shaking hands, he took the cream cake from the girl's hands. The boy could smell the strawberry fragrance from the box.
I haven't eaten all day, so hungry.
The little girl nodded happily: ”next time I come here, I'll give you another delicious strawberry flavor!”
The boy's lips moved, the world in his eyes seemed still, and a warm current filled his heart.
Just then, a black car slowly stopped at the side of the road, the window opened, and a driver said hello to the little girl.
”Miss, why are you here alone? It's going to rain. Get on the bus quickly! ”
The little girl giggled and nodded. Her skirt moved with the wind. She ran into the car like a little cloud.
But while running, the girl dropped a pocket watch. The boy reached out to stop the little girl, but the car had already left.
The boy came forward and picked up the pure gold pocket watch. The background of the dial was the lovely picture of the little girl.
For the next few days, the boy waited in the alley every day, hoping that the little girl would show up again, and he would return the girl's lost pocket watch to its original owner.
But after waiting for a month, the boy did not wait for the little girl, but happened to wait for a bad old man.
That bad old man is Shen Lang's master.
Without that girl, without that pocket watch, without waiting for a month, Shen Lang may still be on the street now, or he may have starved to death long ago.
That girl is Su Ruoxue, who has changed her life path and is the first woman to give her warmth.
I'm afraid Su Ruoxue didn't remember it for a long time. Shen Lang wanted to hide it in his heart, but an accidental opportunity made him and Su Ruoxue have communication again.
Of course, there is a reason for this marriage. Su Ruoxue's grandfather has a lot to do with Shen Lang's master. They arranged this marriage.
Su Ruoxue is now in a difficult situation, forced to marry by a rich and young man with a deep background. Cohabitation with Shen Lang is actually a way for Su ruoxie's grandfather to protect his granddaughter from being hurt.
Shen Lang never thought that he would get married, because he wanted to protect this woman, he readily agreed.
The ringing of his cell phone interrupted his thoughts. Shen Lang picked up his cell phone and saw that it was a familiar number.
