Lin Zhaoming had been living in deep seclusion for the past two years, and Qiao Wen hadn't seen him for a long time. I didn't expect to see him again, but in the hospital room.

Because of his bad intuition, before entering the ward, he had already first inquired with the doctor that Lin Zhaoming was suffering from liver cancer, the specifics of which the doctor was naturally not at liberty to disclose, but in this era, the level of medical care was too different from that of the later generations in which he was living, and the chances of being able to be cured of such a disease were slim to none.

When he and Chen Canaan entered the hospital room, Lin Zhaoming was leaning against the head of the bed, talking to Lin Zihui next to him.

The ward was also the only father and son.

"Uncle!" Qiao Wen presented the fruit basket, "Nan and I came to see you."

Xu has been sick for a long time, the original elegant Lin Zhaoming, now has been thin to the bone, face is also greenish white obscure, at a glance is the person who is seriously ill. But the spirit seems to be okay, see the two people came in, smiled and opened his mouth, "You guys came, I don't have much time, so I thought to meet you two young people."

"Abba!" Lin Zi Hui sniffed and spoke with red eyes, clearly unable to hear his father say such words.

Lin Zhaoming said, "Silly child, people are always dying, I have also passed the age of life, in addition to not yet hold grandchildren, the blessings have been enjoyed, but also a bit of achievement, is not in vain to come to this world, so there is nothing to regret."

"Abba!" Lin Zihui huffed lowly.

Lin Zhaoming continued, "Zi Hui, I am sorry for your mother, but I truly loved her. The outside world says that I, Lin Zhaoming, am a flunky, and only flew up by marrying the Zhong family's eldest lady, but in reality I was counted back then, forget it ......" he waved his hand amusedly, "I won't say these words to you juniors, in short, Zi Hui, I didn't let you recognize your ancestor, in order to protect you. When I leave, all of my property will be left to your elder brother, who will inherit the Lin Group, Abba is not biased, this is all for your protection. It's a good thing that you've fought for yourself over the years, and you've made it step by step. In the future, you should live your own life well, and don't get too close to the Lin family and the Zhong family. These two friends of yours have made good friends, when things come up discuss with them."

After saying this string of words, he began to gasp for air, obviously exhausted.

Lin Zi Hui hurriedly got up to smooth out his breath and said with red eyes, "Abba, you've already given me a lot since I was little, I don't want anything, I just want you to be well."

"Silly boy." Lin Zhaoming slowed down and shook his head with a smile, then looked at Qiao Wen and Chen Canaan, "Ah Wen and Ah Nan, uncle knows that you and Zi Hui are close friends who treat each other with sincerity. Once I'm gone, he'll have no one to protect him, I still hope that you guys can help him out in the future."

Chen Canaan patted his chest and said boldly, "Don't worry, whoever dares to bully Zi Hui in the future, I, Chen Canaan, will be the first to not spare him."

Qiao Wen said, "Uncle, Zi Hui wasn't a child long ago, you don't need to worry, the most important thing now is to get well at ease."

After all, Lin Zhaohui, as the original story's big male lead, had also been aura-ridden all the way through the years. However, he did not really expect that Lin Zhaoming would suffer from a terminal illness. When he had arrived, he had allowed the person who should have died in the opening chapter to dodge a bullet, and he had thought that Lin Zhaoming had thus completely avoided the King of Hell's book of life and death, but he had not expected that only four short years later, he still had not been able to escape the fate of an untimely death.

Hearing the words of the two, Lin Zhaoming nodded gratefully, he was already exhausted after having just said so much, he slowly lay down and weakly said, "Alright, I'll rest for a while."

"Then Uncle take a good rest, we'll see you again when we have time."

Lin Zhaoming shook his head, "I'm already a man on the verge of dying, so once I say goodbye today, I won't see you again, lest I add to your bad luck. Zi Hui, you send Ah Wen and Ah Nan out."

Lin Zi Hui hmmmed and got up to send the two to the door.

Qiao Wen whispered, "Zi Hui, take care of yourself, don't let your Abba see you too upset, it'll give him stress"

Chen Canaan concurred, "Call us if you need us."

Lin Zihui nodded gratefully, "I know, thank you."

The two men emerged from the ward building and it was a bright sunny day outside, paying no heed to the parting of the earthly world of life and death.

Chen Canaan sighed despondently and said, "I didn't expect Zi Hui's father to suffer from a terminal illness, such a powerful person can't withstand illness."

Jovian nodded, "So compared to health, money is all outside of the body."

Chen Canaan suddenly thought of something as if she turned around and grabbed his arm, nervously saying, "Xiao Qiao, have you felt uncomfortable anywhere lately?"

Jovan's health has gotten much better over the years, but just thinking about his former condition is worrisome.

Qiao Wen squinted at him and said with a wooden face, "As long as you can toss me around in bed less, I'm sure I'll have no problem living for another few decades."

Chen Canaan rubbed his nose sheepishly and smiled sarcastically, "I thought about how you didn't move much either."

Jovian said, "Just shut up."

"Oh." Chen Canaan pursed her lips together with force and took him by the shoulders, "Let's go, turn around, if Zi Hui needs help with something, we'll come over again, speaking of which, Zi Hui's Abba is also our first nobleman."

Jovian nodded thoughtfully and followed him to the parking lot to get into his car.

Buckling his seatbelt and looking up again, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two men in suits getting out of a black car next to him.

He hadn't cared about it, except that a light suddenly flashed in his head, and he jerked his head toward the figure walking in front of him.

Just hastily glanced, only saw the side of the man's face, because wearing sunglasses, can not see clearly, at the moment even more only a long and upright back.

But it still startled him, and his eyes followed the figure until he walked into the ward building, and then he slowly came back to his senses.

Seeing that he kept turning around to look back, Chen Canaan casually asked, "What are you looking at?"

Jovian sat upright and was silent for a moment before he returned, "I think I saw someone I know."

"Who is it? Do I know?"

Jovian shook his head without another word.

That glimpse just now was really not very clear, and that person had been dusty in his memory for many years, so he didn't dare to be sure if he had misread it.

He shook his head to keep his mind off it.

Maybe it's just a resemblance. There are thousands of similar people in the world, it's nothing unusual.

Since last year, Qiao Wen and Chen Canaan have been living in the villa as a shameless couple. When they go home to see their elders, it's mostly during the day, after all, the elders at home are still looking forward to the two of them getting married and having children, if they found out about their relationship, they'd be afraid to scare a few adults out of their wits.

Everything has to be done slowly.

Mid-autumn activities, the two went home to eat a mid-autumn dinner with their families, the elders and young people divided into two, each went out to go outside to see the fun.

Qiao Wen's three went to a lantern festival near Causeway Bay, this side is mostly young people. Amidst the clamor of drums and gongs, a long fire dragon danced along the street, followed by several lions, and the sound of laughter and cheering was endless on both sides of the street.

Chen Canaan had a momentary itch and pulled Howie to grab a lion over for a free offering.

Jovian looked at the playful lion and followed in amusement.

Unable to help it, there were just too many people tonight, and being a man who feared crowding, he was pushed and shoved several times, and had to withdraw from the viewing party and walk alone to the shore fence and look up to enjoy the moon.

Mid-Autumn is a day of reunion, and he tries to think back to the loved ones he once had, only to realize that in just over four years, he has gradually faded that world into oblivion.

He comes from a good family, and can even be considered a powerful family, but since he was a child, his parents were separated from each other, and when he was an adolescent, they separated to start their own families, because they couldn't give too much love and care, so they had to make up for it with material things.

He had been a rebel when he was young, but then he realized that life was his own life after all, and he let it go. So when he came to this world, he didn't feel too uncomfortable, instead he felt blessed because he had a new family and friends, and was cared for and loved by exactly the same people.

Nostalgia for the old days was fruitless, and he suddenly remembered the figure that he had glimpsed so hastily at the hospital during the day.

If there was anything he missed about the past, it was probably the days when he was young and wild with Lin Nan. It was a pity that the other party had left even earlier than him, and I wondered if he had also gone to another world and how he was doing now. He was a capable person, so he shouldn't be too bad.

In fact, he hadn't thought of Lin Nan for a long time, after all, the accident was more than six years from now, and how hard it was to let go, but also in the gradual progress of the new life, unconsciously let go.

He looked at the full moon on the sea and exhaled deeply, fearing that Chen Canaan wouldn't be able to find himself after the lion dance and worrying blindly, he turned around and prepared to go find him.

Only just turned his head, his eyes glimpsed three meters away, a side face that looked a little familiar. Because against the light, under the dark shadow, he was not too sure.

The man, who was also gazing at the moon with his head slightly raised, seemed to perceive his gaze and quickly turned his head to look at him.

Qiao Wen's heart thumped, when the matter of the city fortress, has been more than three years in the past, and now life is rich and stable, the cause of prosperity, he has long forgotten when the turbulent life, but also has almost forgotten this person.

Qin Yunfei walked towards him step by step.

Qiaowen's gaze subconsciously fell on his leg, because he was walking very slowly, it had almost been hard to tell that there was something wrong with that leg, but if he looked closely, he could still find that the weight of his footsteps on both legs was slightly different.

Qin Yunfei walked up to him and stood in front of him, looked at him and hooked his lips in a smile, speaking without any hesitation, "Ah Wen, long time no see!"

This person still had a boy-girl look, and still had an evil expression. Qiao Wen subconsciously frowned and opened his mouth to say in a faint voice, "Qin Yunfei, what are you doing back here?"

Qin Yunfei raised his eyebrows, "Hong Kong City is my home, of course I have to come back." After a pause, he added, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you for letting me off the hook in the first place, or else I'm afraid that I, Qin Yunfei, would have already died at the hands of Zhou Renjun, just like Master Panther."

Qiao Wen said, "If you want to take revenge, I advise you to give up the idea, Zhou Renjun is a police officer, killing Zhao Shanhai is just exercising his duty to get rid of harm for the people. If you want to go back to City Walled City and Xing Society, Brother Feng will definitely still take you in, and he has been looking for you."

Qin Yunfei did not care much, ''Without Master Panther's Hexing Society, it has no meaning to me. As for revenge, that depends on my mood. But ......" he gave a slight beat before continuing, "To be honest, these years I think of you from time to time, and I have been reading the newspaper, once upon a time I really underestimated you and Ah Nan, in just a few years you guys even shifted into an extraordinary character. "

The other party's overly blunt gaze made Qiao Wen uncomfortable, he turned his head and said, "Qin Yunfei, since you've come back, behave yourself. Nowadays, Hong Kong City is not like it was a few years ago, the city fortresses have all had police stationed and patrolling them, if you want to do any more unsavory deeds, you're just asking for death."

Qin Yunfei spread his hands without much concern, "Pretty Nan has become a martial arts instructor, how can I still do those things in the past?"

Jovian laughed softly in disbelief, not looking at him again, and left without looking back.

Qin Yunfei took out a cigarette and contained it on his lips to light it, silently looking at his back, disappearing into the crowd in the distance before slowly turning his head, leaning against the railing, looking at the moon in the distance.

When Qiao Wen found the lion dance team, Chen Canaan had already finished his addiction and was returning the lion to the people.

"Nan, let's go back!"

Chen Canaan casually wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I just put down the lion and was startled when I didn't see you in person."

Jovian lost his smile, "I'm such a big guy, can I still get lost?"

Chen Canaan lifted his hand and wrapped it around his shoulders, laughing, "Then who knows, my Xiao Qiao is so pretty, in case she gets abducted!"

Qiaowen snorted, the smell of young men's hormone-laden sweat was all around his nostrils, and he pushed him, "All stinky and sweaty, hurry back and take a shower."

Chen Canaan purposely hugged him tighter and said with a smile, "I just stink of you."

There was nothing Qiaowen could do about his rogue behavior, and he could only sigh deeply in resignation.

It was late, the two still went back to the villa, once inside, Chen Canaan was dead set on holding people on the sofa and nibbling, Qiao Wen let him kiss enough before pushing him away, and said in a nice way, "Brother Nan, I saw Qin Yunfei tonight."

It's really that this name is too long ago, so much so that Chen Canaan was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Qin Yunfei?!" After saying that, he hurriedly grabbed Qiao Wen's arm and looked up and down carefully, "He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Jovian lost his smile, "What are you thinking? There are people everywhere tonight, what could he be doing?"

Chen Canaan: "Didn't he run away? What's the point of coming back?"

Qiao Wen shook his head, "I don't know, I'm just afraid that he's trying to come back to avenge Zhao Shanhai."

Chen Canaan said, "Then I have to quickly call and tell Zhou Sir to go out and be careful."

Qiao Wen nodded: "That's fine, you give Zhou Sir a word just in case. Then also notify Brother Feng, after all, Qin Yunfei didn't quit the Hexing Society and is still considered a Hexing Society Red Stick, let's see how their society is going to handle it."

Chen Canaan originally only disliked Qin Yunfei's ruthless style, and when he first got into trouble, it was true that he was the one who caused the trouble in the first place, but he couldn't stand the fact that he coveted Qiaowen at all.

He was now Qiao Wen's proper boyfriend. The thought of Qiaowen meeting that guy alone tonight made his blood boil, and he wanted to find the guy and beat him up, throw him to Guavabo and never see him again.

Hanging up the phone, looking at Qiao Wen's pensive look, Chen Canaan asked, "What's wrong Xiao Qiao?"

Jovian shook his head and stretched his arms, "It's okay, just a little tired."

I do not know if it is his illusion, always feel that today this Mid-Autumn Festival, a little unusual, first learned that Lin Zhaoming is suffering from a terminal illness is not long to go, and then see a figure similar to the deceased, the night is to meet the original has left more than three years of Qin Yunfei.

Life had been quiet for so long that he hadn't felt this apprehensive in a long time.

And Chen Canaan was obviously oblivious to his inexplicable worry, hearing him say that he was tired, he directly picked him up and said with a smile, "Let's go, Brother Nan is going to give you a bath."

Qiaowen wrapped her arms around his neck and looked up at his vibrantly handsome face, curving her lips into a smile, unable to resist giving him a kiss on the lips.

Fortunately, no matter how much life has changed, this person remains exactly the same as he was when he first met, a happy young man who knows what he is doing.
