Today Onwards

Without a sound, ti passed quietly.

A few minutes later, Song Yi Ran released the brake, and the car continued forward.

The sa scenery flowed by.

It was only when they reached the city, and they were surrounded by busy traffic, and the noisy noise reached the ears, did Lin Ke Song take the eye mask off, and opened her eyes.

Eh? Weve reached?

Yeah ah, weve reached. Song Yi Ran laughed, rember to carefully consider the thing I talked about with you.

Youre really not planning to engage a professional chef?

the restaurant I wish to open isnt any big hotel restaurant, the people who will be eating there will probably be my friends, I only wish to give everyone a place to quietly enjoy their ti. Like their own kitchen, got it? If youre free, you can be a guest chef, if you wish, you can be the head chef there too, if you dont wish to do any of these, and only want to eat there, its fine too.

Okay ah, I will consider!

Bye. Song Yi Ran waved and drove away.

Lin Ke Song looked at his car getting further and further away, she rembered Song Yi Rans last smile.

It was different from every one of his previous smiles.

So genuine and sad.

She suddenly rembered that ti when he and she had finished playing gas and were lying on the carpet, he asked her, if theyd be together forever.

She walked into the light of the lamppost. She rembered that when shed first arrived in New York, he stood right here waiting for her.

She had a crush on him for 10 years. She thought that if she could have this feeling for 10 years, shed be able to sustain it longer.

Are you having regrets.

The cool voice sounded, Lin Ke Songs heart seed to be lifted, she turned around and saw Jiang Qian Fans quiet and handso face.

You what are you doing here?

Jiang Qian Fan was holding his cane, leaning on the lamppost, that posture totally different from Song Yi Rans.

His introversion contained a kind of patient strength.

Im waiting for you to return ho.

do you an youve been here the whole ti? Lin Ke Song asked.

If not here, where else would I wait for you?

The calm voice was like cool wine, it carried a tipsy feel.

You havent answered my question. Are you regretting?

Regretting what? Lin Ke Song was totally lost.

regretting getting together with . If you are regretting, its still not too late to agree to Song Yi Ran.

Jiang Qian Fans expression was pretty much the sa as all his other expressions. Not a movent of his eyes, all expressions well controlled.

But looking at him hold onto the cane, it suddenly dawned on Lin Ke Song.

He wasnt always self-assured all the ti, there is bound to be sothing that was out of his control, like his heart, like her now.

The corners of Lin Ke Songs lips lifted, and purposely leaned towards him, and stared into his eyes and asked: Oh, what to agree with him about?

Jiang Qian Fan was acuter than Lin Ke Song could imagine.

It was only today where she understood Song Yi Ran.

But she and he had always had a ti difference. When she was looking at Song Yi Ran, he had hidden all his intentions. When she finally started flying out, he started chasing.

Lin Ke Song felt that her heart was very small, it could only contain one person at a ti.

Jiang Qian Fan had already successfully squeeze in, and filled her heart to the brim, letting her let go of Song Yi Ran obscurely.

She knew, that if Song Yi Ran never said those words, they would be able to forever be friends that understood each other the best.

This relieving was definitely not easy. This was sothing Lin Ke Song had never thought of.

And the most important thing was, the reason for the inexplicable tension between Jiang Qian Fan and Song Yi Ran was finally clear to Lin Ke Song.

Agree to his confession.

Oh Song Yi Ran did confess. Weve known each other for so many years, and have lots of trust between us. I must carefully consider his confession. Actually, when I think about it, he wouldnt give much pressure, why not I agree!

So, I give you pressure. Then Ill simply give you more pressure.

What pressure?

Jiang Qian Fan cupped the back of Lin Ke Songs head, and pressed her to be in front of him, then kissed her hard.

At the start, he only kissed her corner of her lips, Lin Ke Song felt a little pain when she knocked into him, just as she grabbed his shoulder, the tip of Jiang Qian Fans tongue squeezed in along Lin Ke Songs lips. Everything was caught off guard, the offence easily getting past the defence. Lin Ke Songs back was pressed against the lamppost, Jiang Qian Fan tilted his face to kiss her completely.

The air went crackling dry in a mont, it felt like there were sounds of firewood being lighted at Lin Ke Songs ear, everything bursting into flas uncontrollably.

His kiss suppressed her totally, there was no room for movent.

Both her wrists were screwed to the sides of the lamppost by the other party, deadbolted, her bones hurt to death.

This was the first ti she understood the aning of playing with fire.

Lin Ke Song tried to turn her face away, to get away from Jiang Qian Fan, who cared whether it was only a crack, to let her understand her own intentions, but Jiang Qian Fan didnt give her half a chance.

It was only when Lin Ke Songs legs were both turning jelly, that Jiang Qian Fan left her lips.

You can try.

His voice was very cold, her wrists were still being locked.

hes only planning to open a small restaurant and hire to help out in the back kitchen only! Lin Ke Song took this chance to quickly talk.

She thought that Jiang Qian Fan would let her go, but this cold-faced man had already seen through her, he leaned against the side of her face, gently sticking to her skin, and used the gentlest gesture to cover her ears and said: Actually you know what he really ant. You just didnt let him say it.

So you knew

Of course I knew. Your heart cant bear for him to leave, and you almost heard the answer that youd been waiting 10 years to hear.

Lin Ke Songs eyes teared up, she had always wanted to cry, but she knew she couldnt cry for Song Yi Ran in Jiang Qian Fans arms.

If the tears wish to fall, let them flow. You can miss and like the tis spent with him, you can be nostalgic for his back view, you can rember the hopes you had towards him. Because to have you have a clean cut with your past is an unrealistic thing. If you knew obviously what he wanted to really say to you, and are still indifferent, it is not you. I only want you to understand this, your today onwards is in my hands.

This was Jiang Qian Fan, he always used the simplest thod to give up all intentions to turn back.

He never thought of making her onto another person or even changing her past, he accepted the original her.

Jiang Qian Fans kiss landed on the tip of her brow, a loving soft strength.

Suddenly, sothing was knocked from the window, and crashed to the ground.

Lin Ke Song lifted her head and saw Xiao Xue standing in front of the window.

Xiao Xue

Whats the matter? Jiang Qian Fan turned his face over, Is Xiao Xue your cousin?

Ah Yes Lin Ke Song was a little worried and wondered whether Lin Xiao Xue would tell Uncle anything.

Lets go ba, Ive never been to the place you stay.

Jiang Qian Fan calmly straightened his cane, took Lin Ke Songs hand, and walked towards the small flight of stairs at Uncles house.

But Lin Xiao Xue continued to glare daggers at Jiang Qian Fan. She didnt understand what kind of flowery fortune her cousin had!

For example, a handso man like Song Yi Ran, every ti he visited was to look for Lin Ke Song, totally treated Lin Xiao Xue like air.

And this man now had an unforgettable disposition. When he looked up, it seed like the world had stopped silently in his eyes.

Lin Xiao Xue suddenly had a thought and took out a huge stack ofGourt magazines.

These magazines were bought by her father Lin Feng, there was no other place to put them, so they were piled here, there was already a layer of dust accumulated. She had not a shred of interest in these magazines, only flipping through occasionally for high-class restaurants recomndations. But she rembered that she had seen a picture of a Chinese chef, that made her unable to believe her eyes, because in her impression, head chefs were either fat as the Caucasian n on tv or people like her father who perspired like it was raining in the back kitchen, but this Chinese head chef disposition like a noble.

Lin Xiao Xue had once obsessively looked up news about this chef. Apart from news of being the heir to so Chinese corporation, it was newsof his restaurant getting Michelin stars and praise, but there were no photos. He was so low profile that she was disappointed.

His na was Jiang Qian Fan.

If her father Lin Feng spoke of this na, he could talk endlessly for 3 days and 3 nights.

Sounds of footsteps sounded in the hallway, Lin Xiao Xue opened the door, and saw Lin Ke Song bringing Jiang Qian Fan to her room.

slowly, its small in here, very tight, you must be careful.

Lin KE Song pulled him into the house, and honestly, bringing Jiang Qian Fan to visit her own room was a little embarrassing.

Good thing he couldnt see.

There was a jacket that she hadnt had the ti to put away on the study chair, Lin Ke Song could only invite him to sit on her bed.

But quilt wasnt arranged properly on the bed, so ssy that it made her ashad.

He didnt know, he didnt know, he wont know

Lin Ke Song really regretted bringing him to her room.

Accidentally, Jiang Qian Fans leg hit the luggage Lin Ke Song placed at the head of the bed.

Aiya! Sorry! Sorry!

Its alright.

Jiang Qian Fan had just sat down, and a hand on her blanket, and lifted his head, still the sa old habits, never make your bed.

Just as Lin Ke Song was thinking about her reply, Jiang Qian Fan slowly laid down, and leaned on her pillow, this place slls like you.

its not a stink ba I shower everyday

I wanttosleep for a while. You promised to make hay smoked eggs.

Alright! You sleep for a bit! When Im done Ill call you!

En.

Lin Ke Song lifted the edge of her blanket and covered Jiang Qian Fan.

There were eggs in the kitchen, but there were not dried herbs and jam ah! she needs to buy them.

Reaching the door, and seeing Jiang Qian Fans sleeping form, she knew that he had a habit of taking an afternoon nap.

Was he always waiting for her since she told him that she was going to have lunch with Song Yi Ran?

Lin Ke Song smiled, and quietly closed the door.

She had an illusion, that that small room was a box where she hid Jiang Qian Fan. No matter how cold he was, no matter how unattainable he seed to the outside world but when he closed his eyes to sleep, he was like her exclusive collection.

Lin Ke Song reached the front of the stairs and saw that Lin Xiao Xue had opened the door.

Hey, how is he related to you? Lin Xiao Xue asked straightforwardly.

Friend. Lin Ke Song replied.

Friend? Hes your friend? Lin Xiao Xue laughed lightly in so contempt, Is every friend of yours allowed to sleep in your bed?

Fine ba, hes my boyfriend.

Lin Ke Song didnt know how to explain Jiang Qian Fans identity to Lin Xiao Xue, but since Jiang Qian Fan had visited, its probablywithintention to get to know her family. Lin Ke Song didnt care what Lin Xiao Xue thought, but she didnt know if Uncle and Jiang Qian Fan would be able to get along.

Continue being proud ba! Lin Xiao Xue just went back to the house and shut the door.

Lin Ke Song shook her head exasperatedly and walked towards the closest supermarket.

When Lin Ke Song ca back with the ingredients, she realised that the door of her room was opened.

Did Lin Xiao Xue disturb Jiang Qian Fans rest?

She hurriedly rushed into the room and realised that her Uncle was actually holding a notebook like a primary school student and taking notes seriously.

And Jiang Qian Fan was leaning against the head of the bed leisurely, both hands on Lin Ke Songs blanket.

From the sweet and sour pork to the stead pork with glutinous rice then the stir-fried waist flower, Uncle had countless questions, like he was worried that after this day had passed, hed never ever be able to see Jiang Qian Fan again.

And unexpectedly, Jiang Qian Fan was patiently answering all of Uncles questions, even answering and explaining the littlest detail.

He even slowed his speech to match the speed of Uncles notetaking.

Thank you so much! Mr Jiang! I still have another question

No need to rush, Uncle Lin, I will be having dinner here. Ke Song is back.

Jiang Qian Fans hearing was so acute, who knew, maybe when shed arrived downstairs, hed already known that she was back.

Ke Song! Youre back! Why didnt you tell that Mr Jiang has visited! Let prepare prepare ah! did you know that your uncle dreams of eting Mr Jiang! He is your ntor and you actually didnt say a word, youre really capable ah! if I didnt co up to pick things up, and Xiao Xue telling that you have a guest, I wonder how long this secret will be kept!

Haha doesnt Uncle know now? Lin Ke Song laughed towards Jiang Qian Fan, it looked like he could get along well with her family, there wasnt anything for her to worry about ma.

Didnt you say that you wont eat snacks at your bed again? I can sll crackers on your pillow.

Jiang Qian Fan calmly said.
