On a certain street in Country M, a tragic and fierce battle had just ended.

The young man wearing a windbreaker and top hat looked at the blood on the ground, took out a white handkerchief, and slowly wiped the blood off the dagger.

It's raining heavily here, and the neon lights on the tall buildings are reflected in the potholes on the streets.

The young man turned around and walked slowly until he came to an unoccupied beverage vending machine. He slowly turned his head, revealing a face that looked as if it had been kissed by an angel.

Su Huai looked at the beverage vending machine. After a moment of silence, he took out two coins and bought a bottle of iced coffee. He opened it and took two sips.

At this time, his pocket vibrated.

Su Huai put the coffee on the bench on the street, sat down and touched a zipper from the inside of the windbreaker, opened it and took out a mobile phone.

The phone screen lit up, it was a message from Cheng Jinbai——

"Happy New Year, Ah Huai."

The moment he saw this news, the young man's empty and numb eyes slowly focused, and finally there was a trace of warmth.

He gripped the phone tightly, looked up at the people in all directions, reached out and clicked on the video communication.

After a while, the other party didn't answer.

Called two more times, still no one answered.

It was as if the courage he had mustered up suddenly disappeared, and the light in Su Huai's eyes dimmed a bit.

After a long silence, he slowly stood up with his coffee and walked further away.

……

Cheng Jinbai came out of the shower and saw three missed video calls. He was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his eyes.

After confirming that he was not dreaming, Cheng Jinbai's eyes lit up and he immediately picked up his phone and called Su Huai back.

The other party connected quickly.

The video screen lit up, and Su Huai was in a dark but cozy-looking coffee shop. After not seeing each other for a month, the baby fat on his face had almost disappeared.

The boy who was almost defecating looked more like an adult who had gone through a lot of training.

Cheng Jinbai just looked at him like this, looking at him without saying a word.

Both were silent.

After a moment, Su Huai said cautiously: "Just...Happy New Year."

His voice was a little hoarse, and there was obvious fatigue. The moment he heard the voice, Cheng Jinbai's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Su Huai, you bastard, you haven't sent me a message for so long. Why are you disappearing?" She choked and spoke.

Seeing the red eyes of the person opposite, Su Huai's heart suddenly twitched, and he comforted him at a loss: "Don't cry, just don't cry. I'm sorry... I'm sorry... it's all my fault, please don't cry, okay - "

Cheng Jinbai wiped his eyes, stared at his tired eyes, and suddenly asked: "Su Huai, tell me honestly, what are you doing abroad."

"I'm doing experiments abroad." Su Huai lowered his eyes.

"You know, you never dared to look into my eyes when you lied to me." Cheng Jinbai suddenly smiled and stared at him without blinking, "Su Huai, I will give you another chance. Tell me honestly, you What are you doing abroad?"

"I..." Su Huai slowly raised his head and looked at her, "I can't say that it will bring you trouble. But just don't be afraid. When I solve these troubles, I will definitely come back to you. "

Cheng Jinbai's right eyelid suddenly twitched: "Su Huai, you won't have done anything illegal, right?"

Su Huai immediately shook his head: "No, I didn't."

But for a moment he felt guilty.

those things……

Should...maybe...maybe...don't count.Seeing him like this, Cheng Jinbai understood something, took a deep breath and calmed down.

She tried her best to stay calm and asked him calmly: "Okay, give me some time, how long should I wait for you."

"Soon, when I come back, we can make our relationship public." Su Huai smiled.

"How soon is soon, three years, five years, ten years?"

"...It won't be that long, but it's not in the short term either. Just don't be angry. If these things I encounter are not resolved, they will disturb my life and yours in the future."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Remembering that today is the New Year, Cheng Jinbai didn't want to make Su Huai unhappy, so she smiled and said, "Then, can you still communicate with me in real time?"

Su Huai was silent again.

Cheng Jinbai pursed his lips and suddenly sighed: "Forget it, as long as you are alive, just send me a message when you have time. Okay, go ahead and do your thing, I'll hang up."

Su Huai opened his mouth to say something, but the other party had already hung up the phone.

At this moment, he was extremely upset about why he became so dumb when facing Cheng Jinbai, and didn't know how to say what he wanted to say.

Su Huai, who had been holding back his words for a long time, stared at the chat box in a daze for a long time. After a while, he sighed, put his phone back into the inner pocket of his windbreaker, then stood up and walked inside.

The owner of the coffee shop was cleaning the cups. When he saw him leaving, he raised his eyebrows: "Boss, are you done talking to your little girlfriend? Did you have a quarrel?"

Su Huai paused and turned to look at him expressionlessly.

The man suddenly froze and laughed.

"Close the door, we're closed today."

"okay."

Su Huai turned around and walked inside.

The owner of the coffee shop put down his cup after Su Huai left, took out a modified laptop, and typed a line of code. In the surveillance outside, all places where Su Huai was photographed deleted their records.

……

On April 2020, 4, W City was lifted from the lockdown, and the whole people cheered and cried with joy.

On April 4, Cheng Jinbai returned to Kyoto, and Yu Ting and Cheng Zhi went to pick him up together.

The next day, considering certain circumstances, Cheng Zhi organized a replacement coming-of-age ceremony for Cheng Jinbai that was not very lively but absolutely heartwarming.

Yu Ting and Huo Sian'an came to attend. Cheng Chong and Hu Manzhi flew back from abroad in advance to catch up. After the quarantine, they just happened to catch up with their precious daughter's coming-of-age ceremony.

In addition, Mr. Gu and Gu Mingya also came.

In the words of Mr. Gu, it is necessary to celebrate the coming-of-age ceremony for his future grandson-in-law.

In addition to Mr. Gu, Mr. Xu Ye, Mr. Lu and other friends Cheng Jinbai knew came to celebrate her.

These people have already been quarantined, so naturally they are not afraid of infection.

In the evening, after sending these people away, Cheng Jinbai received a package sent back from abroad.

After disinfecting with alcohol, Cheng Jinbai opened the package and saw a postcard——

"Just, I wish you a happy 18th birthday."

After seeing the familiar words, Cheng Jinbai put the postcard aside and carefully opened the package.

Inside the package was a beautiful cheongsam and a bunch of bracelets.

On the bracelet is a small and exquisite red bean dice. The weaving method is a bit clumsy. It seems that someone made it by hand.

Cheng Jinbai put the bracelet on, looked at it again and again, and suddenly laughed. (End of chapter)
