Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

"How about it, have you let it go? How about I walk with you, recall the good times you had, let all the regrets go away, and continue living with good memories?" Li Dongfang asked tentatively.

The woman obviously had not accepted the change in her heart so quickly, and her eyes were still confused. Li Dongfang smiled and stood up to pay the bill. He had no idea when a young woman was behind the counter. She didn't look stunning, but she was pretty, with soft features, full of the delicacy and softness of a woman.

The proprietress must have heard the conversation between Li Dongfang and Miss Duan. She looked at Li Dongfang and nodded with a smile.

Walking out of the tavern side by side with Miss Duan, Li Dongfang shivered in the cold wind and couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Miss Duan suddenly straightened her body, raised her head, took a deep breath, turned her head and smiled at Li Dongfang. That momentary smile made Li Dongfang slightly dazed. This woman of about 27 or 28 years old had a youthful and beautiful charm, as if she had suddenly become a few years younger.

He turned around and extended his right hand to Li Dongfang, saying, "Thank you, let me introduce myself to you formally, Duan Jingya."

"Li Dongfang." Li Dongfang was a little absent-minded. This woman was really beautiful. I didn't realize how long her eyelashes were. She had big eyes, a curved nose, a cherry mouth, and some heroic spirit.

"Well, Sister Jingya, if you have nothing else to do..." Li Dongfang wanted to leave quickly as he still had to prepare gifts in the afternoon.

"What's the matter? You just said you would walk with me, but now you regret it?" Duan Jingya said with a smile.

"No, I..."

"That's fine. Come on, accompany me to Houhai." Duan Jingya turned around and walked forward.

Li Dongfang didn't want to go to Houhai. It wasn't that far, but it would take almost half an hour to walk there. Besides, this season was not a good time to go to Houhai. You would freeze to death.

Li Dongfang always lagged behind Duan Jingya by half a step, thinking that this woman was abnormal. Wouldn't it be better to go to Houhai to enjoy the breeze in such a cold weather and then go home to warm up by the fire?

Duan Jingya looked at Li Dongfang who was following behind her reluctantly, but she was not angry. Instead, she reached out and held his hand and quickened her pace.

"Let me tell you, back then we..." Duan Jingya seemed to have suddenly become a different person, and she kept talking about her and her childhood sweetheart along the way.

Li Dongfang had no interest at all. The woman kept talking about stories about her ex-boyfriends, which no man would like to listen to.

He strolled along without much interest for more than an hour. Li Dongfang was sober now, but his stomach started to growl with hunger.

"I've come to terms with it. Go back and tell my parents that I've decided to get a divorce." Duan Jingya said, letting go of Li Dongfang's hand that had been holding her all the way.

"Oh, ah?! No, why did you come to terms with it and decide to get a divorce? I didn't persuade you to get a divorce." Li Dongfang suddenly realized that he had wanted to comfort her, but ended up persuading her to get a divorce. This was not his original intention.

"Didn't you say that you should live happily? I don't like my current partner, and I have no relationship with him. Instead of making do with him, it's better to divorce and let each other go. Even if I can't find true love, at least find someone I like."

It seems that Duan Jingya is not as stubborn as Minister Duan and his wife say. Her thoughts have changed very quickly...very quickly.

"Stop talking nonsense. Anyway, I have made up my mind. To thank you for your guidance, I have decided to cook for you myself. Let's go."

Li Dongfang is now completely in a weak position. Anyway, he has been persuaded and his mission is accomplished. As for whether to divorce or not, he has no control over it.

Duan Jingya brought Li Dongfang to a row of tiled houses, only to find out that this was the single dormitory assigned by Duan Jingya's unit, a small house.

Duan Jingya's cooking skills were mediocre; she could only be considered to have cooked the dishes, which was slightly better than Li Dongfang, who couldn't cook at all.

Shredded potatoes, stir-fried cabbage, and two bottles of Erguotou are considered good wine.

"No, Sister Jingya, don't you want to stop drinking? What's wrong with this Erguotou?" Li Dongfang's heart trembled when he saw the words "60 degrees" on the label.

"These are the last two bottles. It would be a pity to throw them away. Just consider it as saying goodbye to the past. I will quit drinking from tomorrow. I told you that these were my spiritual sustenance for the next 10 days. You are getting a bargain." Duan Jingya handed over the bowl and chopsticks.

Well, since you said so, what else can I do? Li Dongfang was thinking the same thing as he was this morning, just give it as a token of his appreciation.

Dong, a bottle of Erguotou was placed in front of Li Dongfang. "One bottle for each person, and no one will take advantage of anyone else." Duan Jingya said as she picked up another bottle and opened it.

Thank you!

In the end, Li Dongfang couldn't escape. After drinking a bottle of Erguotou, he lost his memory.
