20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3646 Zhao Chang'an's Flowers

"Deserve it!"

Zhao Chang'an spoke frankly.

Ye Pinghe glanced at Zhao Chang'an and said with a smile, "No wonder the third brother said that Wen Ye hated him very much, and you are too. But back in 37, Ye Pingbai was only a teenager, two years older than me. There's a saying that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. This matter can't be attributed to him, can it? Do you still practice the practice of guilt by association?"

“If he hadn’t thought about the shipwreck, it could be said that he hadn’t inherited the original cause and effect.”

Zhao Chang'an meant that since Ye Pingbai had brought up the matter between Ye Changguang and Ye Mingde again, it was as if he had taken the initiative to connect with the grudges of that generation.

"Whatever you want. Anyway, my third brother and I won't live for many more years. Are you going to go and beat up an old man in his eighties?"

Ye Pinghe stopped and looked at the sea: "I like to feel the sea breeze here. Xiao Yan's ashes were scattered in this sea, and I will scatter mine here too."

"I think you two are living quite energetically. As for not indulging in anything, instead of trying to persuade me, who is young and strong, I think you should talk to the third brother. He's been changing female secretaries every six months in China these past few years, and they're all incredibly hot. At this age, aren't you afraid that you might accidentally get into one and go crazy?"

"At this age, let them play if they want. They can't change anyway. As long as they don't force the girls, and they give the girls enough money afterward, it's fine."

"You're such a hypocrite!"

Zhao Chang'an curled his lip in disdain.

Ye Pinghe sighed and said, "It's rare for someone who practices this to live past sixty. At first, my third brother and I thought this curse was our destiny. It wasn't until we went through this research institute for bone setting and bone replacement that we began to understand why so few people live past sixty. The biggest fatal problem is the deformity and imbalance, or even the complete deformation of the skeletal structure, which compresses the nerves, blood vessels, and internal organs throughout the body. We were too late to intervene because the technology at that time was not advanced. But you are different."

"Of course there are other problems, such as the impact of blood flow velocity and heart strength on the blood vessel walls, and neurasthenia, headaches, and insomnia caused by overly sensitive hearing, smell, and touch. The third brother is using women to suppress these issues, but the effect is limited. Of course, these are not the most important problems. As long as this problem is solved, and with attention to maintenance and endurance, at least in terms of lifespan, he can probably die peacefully in his old age."

Zhao Chang'an understood the meaning behind Ye Pinghe's words: practicing the "gentlemanly skill" can easily lead to bone deformities as one ages. These deformed bones can cause nerves, blood vessels, and other parts of the body to be stretched, torn, and compressed as they shift. If this situation can be effectively changed, although other problems will still exist, at least one can live a life of suffering.

"Just like why I like living here, Xiaoyan doesn't like it at all. She thinks it's too noisy, too cold and too damp. But only here, listening to the waves every day, can I sleep."

Ye Pinghe said, "Back then, the Ye Bai branch was established, and a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Bai family has always maintained a good lineage, but when it came to the Ye family, I had no more illusions. Originally, there were two promising members, but one died and the other was castrated. If you want to marry a woman from the Ye family, just go ahead and do it. Consider it as the lineage changing from Ye to Zhao."

"I have no intention of getting married."

Zhao Chang'an said with a smile, which made Ye Pinghe glare angrily.

-

Zhao Chang'an spent half a day with Ye Pinghe, enjoying the breeze. After standing by the sea for so long, the old man lost interest in continuing the conversation and asked Zhao Chang'an to go and discuss cooperation with Zhang Zhijing.

At the research institute, Zhao Chang'an met an employee, asked for directions to the cafeteria, and went there to eat. Surprisingly, during this time, there were still employees coming and going to eat in twos and threes.

Moreover, these employees seemed quite relaxed, with some even playing cards in the restaurant to kill time.

Zhao Chang'an also noticed that Chinese faces accounted for about one-third of the people here, including the restaurant staff.

After eating a little something that tasted pretty good, Zhao Chang'an decided to leave the research institute.

As for seeking cooperation with Zhang Zhijing, in his view, even if cooperation were to be discussed, now is definitely not the right time to talk about it.

Zhao Chang'an felt that if even half of what Ye Pinghe said was true, that would be good enough. Ye Pinghe's rambling on was nothing more than an attempt to intimidate Zhao Chang'an. He might be able to understand some things, but it was too troublesome. He'd rather talk to Wen Ye after returning to China, let him analyze these things, and then make a decision.

Zhao Chang'an dialed Ye Yiyi's number, and it rang for a while before being answered: "Which room are you in? I'll come find you."

"I'm in room 301, my cousin's room is 306, and yours is 308. The room key is with my cousin. If you want to find my cousin, go to 306."

Ye Yiyi's voice sounded a little off, but Zhao Chang'an could understand.

On the way, Zhao Chang'an had nothing to do, and thinking about the debate on the authenticity of the two-finger Zen technique online, he couldn't help but try it out.

As a result, Ye Ziyu suddenly stopped the car, and Ye Yiyi, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was caught off guard and her whole body lurched forward, her buttocks lifted off the seat and she lurched forward a few centimeters, her head hitting the back of the chair.

Seeing her in pain with tears streaming down her face, Zhao Chang'an, having finished his business, naturally wanted to go and comfort her first.

"I was looking for you. Have you had lunch yet? I'd like to buy you something."

Zhao Chang'an's voice was gentle, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited as he thought about the benefits that would follow.

This can be considered an unexpected stroke of luck. If this hadn't happened, he probably wouldn't have been able to win Ye Yiyi over this time, even if he had feelings for her. The most likely opportunity would have come naturally if they had actually come to China to find him later.

"I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."

Although Ye Yiyi's voice still sounded a bit listless, Zhao Chang'an, who was quite sensitive to voices, could already hear a hint of joy in it.

"Wait for me, open the door."

Zhao Chang'an said in a low voice, "I've arrived at the hotel."

He saw a flower shop next to the hotel and decided to give Ye Yiyi, this pure and innocent young woman, a romantic surprise.

There was no response on the other end; the call was disconnected.

-

Zhao Chang'an went up to the third floor and walked to room 301. He saw that the door was ajar and felt his heart beat a little fast.

This was a case of striking by mistake.

He gently pushed the door open and went in, and saw Ye Yiyi standing in front of the window looking at the sea with her back to him.

The room was warm and cozy with the heating on. Zhao Chang'an closed and locked the door, hung his handbag and coat on the hanger, walked to Ye Yiyi's side, wrapped his right arm around her delicate body from behind, and whispered in her ear, "Darling, what are you looking at?"

Ye Yiyi trembled slightly as he held her, but she didn't speak or struggle.

Because at this point, even if she were to struggle and resist with restraint, it would be meaningless; it could be said that she was already Zhao Chang'an's woman.

She wasn't against becoming his woman, but it would take time to go to a few movies, have a few meals together, go on a romantic trip together, and receive flowers. There had to be a process, right?
It's all my cousin's fault!
As Ye Yiyi was lost in a complex and bittersweet thought, a bouquet of fiery red roses suddenly appeared before her, blooming between her and the tightly closed window.

Ye Yiyi was stunned for a moment, but she could no longer maintain her composed smile, and all the bitterness in her heart instantly turned into sweetness.
