A Heartwarming Decade 十年一品温如言 by 书海沧生 Shu Hai Cang Sheng


Genre: Modern | Romance | Childhood Friends

Years later, the grandchildren gathered around their grandmother in front of the fireplace, listening to her telling a story during winter time.
Wen Heng smilingly, told a story that spanned a decade. Well kids, to start it of, this is just a story.

In the first year, from a crow in the southern small town, she became a glittering phoenix. She came across a pair of man and woman kissing. The male looked rather delicious, my heart delighted.
In the second year, sick with a strange disease. She took the opportunity to occupy the magpie’s nest, hanging around his home.
In the third year, the adulterous husband flew back from Vienna. All was lost so quickly fled.
In the fourth year,  under her father’s arrangement, she became the child bride of another family, she almost forgot about him.
In the fifth year, the prospective fiance did not like her so ran away with another woman. She was gratified by others’ trouble.
In the sixth year, have no impression.
In the seventh year, a pair of  adulterous couple, damn it.  Continue to have no impression!
In the eighth year, she went abroad to study, she completely broke off relations with the family for another man.
In the ninth year, she was forced to marry and have children with him.
In the tenth year, a child was born. Because of an embarrassing incident, the family of three was deported.

Yan Xi protested and pointed his trembling fingers. Wifey, you have been telling lies as the story is actually like this.

In the first year, the pork ribs she made taste very good, very delicious to eat.
In the second year, because of illness, have no impression.
In the third year, he went abroad on vacation, she was expelled from Wen family.
In the fourth year, she was missing for a whole year. He was angry with her, so do not want to go and look meant do not want to search.
In the fifth year, he was hiding in the corner, following her for a whole year.
In the sixth year, the man she cared most in her whole life made an appearance.
In the seventh year, have no impression.
In the eighth year, he had a car accident, she was out of the country.
In the ninth year, he chased all the way to France.  He carried her and walked on the snowy ground for the whole winter.
In the tenth year, the number one rival was born, so returned home.

Wifey, this is the complete and true story, did you know?
This is their story, a kind of love in their light fleeting years. Who is right, who is wrong is just one chuckle. Ten years passed like the smoke, woke up from your dream and rubbed your eyes. Those youthful years, such a heartwarming decade. (Credits to shushengbar.net - Peanuts)

    This contain spoiler

    Wen Heng – the best female character I’ve ever read about. She is the kind of person you look up to, and want to become. Wen Heng, the lost daughter of the Wen family. Shortly after her birth, she was given away to the Yun family to raise, and in her place, the Wen family took on her substitute: Wen Si’er. Everything that should have been Wen Heng’s, her mother, father, brother – her family – became Wen Si’er’s. While Wen Si’er lived in comfort and wealth, Wen Heng lived in the countryside of Jiangnan, taking care of her sick brother.

    Later, when she was 15, the Wen family brought her back to their home, and made Wen Si’er leave. The original daughter of the Wen family had returned, so the substitute should leave. All is well now, back to what it should’ve been, right?

    No. Wen Heng, the blood relation of the Wen family, was treated like a stranger in her home. From the coldness of her mother and brother, who resented her for ‘making’ Wen Si’er leave, to their strange politeness as they treated her like a guest in her own home – this was Wen Heng’s teenage years.

    Her name, Si’er, was taken by another girl. Her birthday, was celebrated for that girl. Her mother and brother, viewed her as an outsider. Because the fifteen years they spent with Wen Si’er could not be replaced, even if Wen Si’er was not related to them by blood.

    But, Wen Heng met Yan Xi. Yan Xi said, thank you for being Ah Heng. Not Yun Heng, not Wen Heng, but Yan Xi’s Ah Heng.

    Wen Heng met Yan Xi through her brother, Wen Siwan.

    Two children, abandoned by their families.

    I remember one scene. After Wen Heng was abandoned by the Wen family, for 15 years, she celebrated her birthday on the day she was abandoned, while her real birthday became Wen Si’er’s, because Wen Si’er was her substitute who led her life on her behalf. On that day, the Wen family celebrated Wen Si’er’s birthday, deliberately ignoring the fact that this was really Wen Heng’s birthday, not Wen Si’er’s. They said, this was for Wen Heng’s sake, because Wen Heng would be unaccustomed to having a different birthday all of a sudden.

    But Yan Xi said, did you realise that Wen Heng’s so-called birthday which she had led for the last 15 years, was also the day she was abandoned by the Wen family? Why do you assume that Wen Heng would be unwilling to celebrate her real birthday? Why should Wen Heng pretend to be another person, when she has finally returned to her family?

    Yan Xi celebrated her birthday for her. Yan Xi, without caring for what anyone else thought, celebrated Wen Heng’s birthday for her.

    ‘Ah Heng, happy birthday.’

    ‘My birthday is on the 28th of December, not today.’

    ‘That day was the way our Ah Heng could not find her way home, not the day our Ah Heng was born.’ Yan Xi smiled. Gently, he held Ah Heng, yet his two arms were wound tight around her as he said quietly, ‘Ah Heng, happy birthday.’

    He wanted her to exist proudly in this world, without hiding away. 1.35 pm on the 10th of January was the moment when her heart first began to beat in this world. He wanted her to stop remembering how she was abandoned on the 28th of December, every birthday.

    This was not a regret that could be erased with an extravagant celebration on the 7th floor of the hotel. This was not a hurt that could be wiped away by having the same treatment as Wen Si’er.

    He only wanted to tell her, how grateful he was, that she was came to exist in this world.

    Yan Xi – Ah Heng’s beacon of warmth during those years.

    Their relationship was so perfectly balanced. Instead of saying Wen Heng needed Yan Xi, they were both there for the other.

  4. I don't know why but after reading one night one day one year.. I am always looking up for tragic romances.
    "stunning allure" being just one of the book that holds the list. I am really interested in reading tears in heaven too.
    But no matter what book comes to play in the end I just hope it's one of the tragic genre. This is me totally being selfish *

    I cannot fathom what the end result is going to be.
