Beacon 1937

San Francisco, USA, [-]th January [-]

Aiwen carried the suitcase and rang the doorbell of his house, which he had not seen for a long time.

When Edward Abel appeared at the door, he hugged his father with tears in his eyes.

For eight years, Aiwen and his father only communicated by letters. In eight years, his father was already gray at the temples.

Eight years ago, Edward only allowed Ai Wen to stay in Shanghai for three months, but he never thought that it would be eight years.However, after he received a letter from his only son who decided to stay in China, he did not object.When a child grows up, it means that it is time for him to choose his own life path... just like he also went to Shanghai back then, and just like Aiwen's mother insisted on marrying him even though his family objected.

Adorable Edward will still miss his son, looking forward to Ivan's return home as soon as possible.For eight years, he devoted himself to the hospital passed down by the "Abel" family for generations, so as to dilute his longing and the pain of losing his wife when he first lost his wife.It was not until he could no longer hold the scalpel steadily in his hands and his leg joints began to ache due to seasonal changes that he put down the scalpel that had accompanied him for half his life, and left the main hospital in Washington and returned to the branch hospital in his hometown of San Francisco.

Edward wanted to know what Ai Wen had experienced there.His son never mentioned too much in the letter, just to repay his safety.And when he saw Ivan, who was much thinner and wearing glasses, he had a thousand words, and he didn't need to ask anything, just "just come back".

"Your cousin Pierre also wanted to go to the Pacific Ocean, but was stopped by me and your aunt Kate. In your absence, he is the only person who can manage the Washington General Hospital." Edward sat on the sofa Drank a few sips of coffee.

"Pierre knows business better than me." Ivan smiled.

Pierre Stewart, son of Edward's own sister Kate Stewart.Although his medical skills are far inferior to Ai Wen, he is very good at management.

"Edward (Note [-]), if there is a letter from China, please let me know." I thought my father still lived in Washington's home, so before leaving Changsha, Chen Yuchen left his address in Washington .

Today, Edward's physical health is not as good as before, and it is impossible for Ivan to leave him alone.

Afraid that the letter would be left in Washington, Ivan wrote a letter of address change before returning to San Francisco and sent it to Chen Yuchen who was far away in China.

After the fall of Changsha last year, he lost contact with Chen Yuchen.All the letters sent to Chongqing fell into the sea, and there was no news from the bird.Ai Wen didn't know what happened to the other party, and the stone in his heart never let go, but the war left him no time to think about it.

Now that the war is over, Ivan, who has returned to a peaceful life, is getting more and more anxious.

"I was thinking, you will definitely bring one more person back this time, but I didn't expect you to come to see me with a suitcase. I thought that my son was busy saving people for eight years, but he forgot another important thing. But now it seems that there is such a person, but you left her there!" Edward looked unbelievable, knowing that he abducted his dead wife back from Shanghai without hesitation. .

Ai Wen laughed embarrassedly, not knowing how to explain to his father, so he could only remain silent in embarrassment.

December [-], [-], Christmas Eve

Aiwen still hasn't heard from Chen Yuchen, and he even asked John Horston to use some of his previous connections in the army to investigate...

"His name is not on the death list, Ivan. I think this is the best news so far."

Yes, the best news...but it made him think wildly.Zhao Han may have told Major General Chen about their relationship, so it's not that Chen Yuchen didn't want to come to him, but he couldn't come to him.

Aiwen once thought about flying to Chongqing, but he really couldn't let go of Edward now.In winter, my father's knees were so painful that he limped even when he walked.The eight-year blank period made him feel extremely guilty towards his father, so he couldn't leave without saying anything.

There is little snowfall in San Francisco in winter. However, it snowed heavily on Christmas Eve night, causing roads and houses to have a layer of snow that is not thin or thick.

It was afternoon when Pierre and Aunt Kate arrived from Washington, and it wasn't snowing.The sudden heavy snow disrupted their return plan.

"You should choose to stay, Kate," Edward said to his sister.

"Oh! I think so, Edward, we have to interrupt you all night." Kate stepped forward to kiss his brother on the cheek again.

At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly.Everyone couldn't help being slightly taken aback, really wondering if someone would come to visit at this time.

Ai Wen was the first to come back to his senses, and hurried forward to open the door...

White snow fell on the man's hat and shoulders one after another, and his black eyes suddenly lit up the moment he saw Ivan Abel.He dropped his luggage on the ground and hugged the American doctor tightly.

Aiwen's eyes were wide open, and he didn't know how to react for a while because of the surprise.

"I'm here for you, Alvin Abel."

The man whispered softly in his ear, and finally let Ai Wen regain his mind: "...Chen Yuchen?"

The three Edwards on the side were extremely surprised, not because of the Oriental who suddenly appeared at the door, but because Ivan who hugged each other back was crying silently.

... This Christmas Eve was unforgettable for him.

Ai Wen couldn't introduce Chen Yuchen to his family well, as if the whole person was immersed in a dream, it felt so unreal.Chen Yuchen suddenly appeared in front of him without warning.

Since there were unexpectedly three extra guests in the house, it was obviously not enough for each of them, so Chen Yuchen naturally lived in Aiwen's room on the second floor.

They lay sideways on the bed, looking at each other silently, as if they could never see enough, and wanted to read all the blanks in the past few years.

"I think I need to have a good talk with Edward about you tomorrow." Ai Wen was the first to break the silence, raising his hand to gently touch Chen Yuchen's eyes, bridge of nose, and lips.

"Hmm..." He grabbed Ivan's hand and kissed it deeply, "Miss you, miss you, miss you..."

Chen Yuchen suddenly pulled him into his arms, lifted the hem of his clothes with his hands and stretched them in, brushing against the other's smooth back, making Ai Wen shudder.

"I won't let you go again. If I can do it all over again, I will never let you leave me again..." He said softly, kissing Ivan's neck...the tooth can still be seen faintly there print.

"Ok!"

Just when all the desires in his body were provoked by the other party, Chen Yuchen remained silent.Ai Wen looked down and saw that this person was too tired from the long journey and fell into a deep sleep.

The doctor sighed helplessly, hugged him with a smile, and closed his eyes.
