Chapter 213 The Taste of Ink
Xu Qin, an important name in his life. They met in college, when they were full of vision and expectation for the future. Xu Qin is a gentle and kind girl, her smile always brings warmth to people. Meng Yanchen recalled the time they spent together, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
When they graduated that year, they made a promise under the cherry blossom tree on campus. Xu Qin said, "Yanchen, if we both realize our dreams one day, we will meet again here, okay?" Meng Yanchen nodded in agreement, his heart full of determination and expectation. They each embarked on the road of pursuing their dreams. Xu Qin went abroad for further studies, while Meng Yanchen stayed in this city and worked hard.
A few years later, Meng Yanchen had achieved great success in his career and became a senior executive of a well-known company. But behind his success, he never forgot the promise. Every night, he would take out his mobile phone and look at the last message Xu Qin sent him. It was a photo of cherry blossoms in full bloom, with a sentence: "Yanchen, I believe in our promise."
One weekend, Meng Yanchen decided to put down his busy work and go to the cherry tree. The cherry tree was still lush, and the petals fell gently in the breeze. He stood under the tree and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Xu Qin could also realize her dream and return to this promised place.
Time passed while waiting. One day, Meng Yanchen received a call at the company. It was from Xu Qin. She said she was back and wanted to see him. Meng Yanchen was excited when he heard the news, as if he had returned to the youthful college days.
They agreed to meet at a coffee shop. Meng Yanchen arrived early. He sat nervously in the corner, looking at the door from time to time. Not long after, Xu Qin pushed the door open, still with that gentle smile. She was wearing a simple dress, still so beautiful.
"Yanchen, long time no see." Xu Qin smiled and sat opposite him.
"Xu Qin, it's been a long time since we last met." Meng Yanchen was a little excited, but more happy.
They talked for a long time, from college memories to their own experiences. Xu Qin studied abroad for several years and later worked in an international organization, accumulating rich experience. Meng Yanchen shared his career development and life. They found that although they had not seen each other for many years, their hearts were still closely connected.
Xu Qin told Meng Yanchen that she came back this time because she accepted a new job opportunity and could develop in China for a long time. She said: "Yanchen, I have never forgotten our agreement. This time I come back, I hope we can start over."
Meng Yanchen nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Xu Qin, I haven't forgotten our agreement. No matter how many years have passed, I am willing to wait for you."
They decided to go to the cherry tree together to reconfirm their promise. The spring sunshine shone on the cherry tree, and the petals fluttered in the breeze, as if celebrating their reunion. They stood under the tree, holding each other's hands, their hearts full of longing for the future.
As time went by, Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin's feelings grew deeper and deeper. They began to plan their future together, and Xu Qin's work gradually stabilized. They worked together to fight for their common dream.
However, life is not always smooth sailing. Meng Yanchen's company is facing a major crisis, which requires him to devote himself to it. Although Xu Qin understands, she can't help feeling a little disappointed. She knows that Meng Yanchen's love for work and sense of responsibility cannot be ignored.
One night, Meng Yanchen came home from overtime and found Xu Qin waiting for him in the living room. She smiled and handed him a cup of hot tea: "Yanchen, no matter what happens, I will be by your side to support you."
Meng Yanchen was moved and held her hand: "Xu Qin, thank you. I will definitely solve the company's problems and then accompany you well."
With their joint efforts, Meng Yanchen's company finally survived the crisis. Their relationship became stronger in the wind and rain. Xu Qin also made new breakthroughs in her career. They supported each other and grew together.
On a sunny weekend, Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin decided to go on a trip and temporarily leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind. They chose a quiet town with a beautiful lake and a quiet valley. On the grass by the lake, they sat side by side, looking at the sunset in the distance.
"Yanchen, do you still remember our agreement?" Xu Qin asked softly.
Meng Yanchen nodded: "Of course I remember. No matter what the future holds, I will always keep this promise."
They snuggled up to each other, their hearts full of beautiful visions for the future. In this quiet town, they found their spiritual home, as if they had returned to the moment when they made the promise.
Meng Yanchen's life gradually stabilized, and his relationship with Xu Qin became deeper after experiencing the ups and downs of his career. One day, he was looking through documents in the office and suddenly remembered that several boxes at home needed to be sealed to store some precious items. So he decided to buy some tape after get off work.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Meng Yanchen finished his work and picked up his coat to go out. He walked on the busy street, thinking about Xu Qin's smile and the warm time they spent together. Xu Qin always brought him endless warmth and support, which made him feel extremely happy in his busy work.
Arriving at a stationery store, Meng Yanchen pushed open the door and was greeted by a dazzling array of stationery. He walked to the shelf of tapes and carefully selected them. There were not many people in the store, and the air was filled with the faint scent of paper and ink.
"Do you need help?" A clerk came over with a smile.
"Thank you, I'm looking for some good quality tapes." Meng Yanchen replied politely, his eyes still searching the shelves.
"These are all good choices, you can pick according to your needs." The clerk pointed to several recommended tapes.
Meng Yanchen nodded, picked up a few rolls of tape, and carefully checked the information on the labels. He was silently thinking about how to use these tapes to organize the items in his home in an orderly manner.
After paying the bill, Meng Yanchen walked out of the stationery store carrying the tape. The streets were crowded with people, but his thoughts had already flown back home. When he got home, Xu Qin was busy in the kitchen, and the table was already full of fresh ingredients.
"You're back?" Xu Qin heard the door open, turned around, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Well, I bought some tape and planned to organize the boxes." Meng Yanchen walked over to her, put the tape on the table, and asked gently, "What delicious food are you going to make today?"
"I want to make your favorite braised pork and stir-fried vegetables and mushrooms." Xu Qin said as she worked, her movements skillful and graceful.
