Overcome everything just to find you

Chapter 12

One day, the three of Arslen left Inner Mongolia.Marcus didn't tell his parents, but left a letter, which was typed out. Marcus thought about the content for a day.

After leaving Inner Mongolia, the three took a train across Mongolia and into Russia.

Russia is still in the cold breath of winter, so the three of them put on thick long padded jackets, thick gloves and hats to keep warm.They randomly found a hotel near Ulan-Ude Railway Station, put down their luggage in the guest room, went back to the first floor, chose a table away from the door, and drank hot tea given by the enthusiastic proprietress.Marcus communicated with the strong boss in fluent Russian, and consulted on the recent weather and local customs in Russia.

"Can you speak Russian?" Canglang asked Kevin after taking a sip of hot tea.

"will not."

Canglang nodded after hearing this, but did not continue talking, holding the cup and looking at the snow scene outside the window.Kevin observes the hotel carefully.The store is not big, but it gives people a very warm and warm feeling. Orange lights are sprinkled on the walls that are not pure white. There are beast furs and an imitation antler on the wall, and small but delicate decorations are hung on the antlers; The wooden table gives people a natural and comfortable feeling, as if they are in nature.

After Marcus finished asking, he sat down and took a sip of the tea that was no longer very hot. "It will be snowy recently, which is not suitable for traveling. The time we came is not very good."

"So what? Just here is enough. Eat some Russian food, watch Russian TV dramas, start old age, and keep healthy." Canglang teased.

"It's not bad here. After two days, the wind and snow should not be so heavy, and then we can go out for a walk." Kevin said.

"Okay. Listen to you two. The boss said that they will cook traditional Russian food tonight, so you can try it." After speaking, Marcus took out his mobile phone, walked aside, and made a call.

The snow has been falling, often heavy, often small.It was gradually getting dark.

The owner's family prepared a table of delicious meals and invited them to have a meal together.The three thanked the boss's family and tasted it carefully.The three chatted with the boss's family and happily spent a snowy night.

The next day, the snow finally stopped, revealing a little sunshine.The snow on the road is thick, and the earth is covered with a white fur coat.Canglang, Marcus and the owner of the store cleared the snow at the door and on the road, and Kevin helped clean up the store.

Near noon, the door of the hotel was opened.A woman in a black coat came in, and Marcus got up and walked to the woman, hugging each other with the woman, Marcus helped the woman hold the coat she took off, and whispered to her.Then Marcus pushed the door open and walked out.

Kevin and Canglang saw Marcus talking to a child outside through the window. The child threw himself into Marcus's arms happily. Marcus picked up the child and went back to the store.

"Please don't get me wrong, Mr. Morgan. My name is Yelena Victor Sidorov. The child in Mr. Wolfe's arms is mine. Mr. Wolfe is my boss." The woman explained politely.

"Still so foreign? Just call me Marcus, don't always call Mr. Wolfe, I don't sound comfortable." Marcus complained.

"That's right, Mom, you can just call him Marcus." The child spoke in fluent Chinese, holding Marcus's neck tightly with both hands.

Yelena pretended to be angry and said: "Ivan, you can't be rude." After hearing this, the child angrily turned his head away from Yelena.

"Ivan, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?" Marcus asked Ivan softly.

When Ivan heard eating, the angry expression disappeared from his face immediately. "Well, I've been hungry for a long time. But my mother won't let me eat."

Marcus carried Ivan to the counter and asked the boss for a small cake.Ivan happily took it, and ate it heartily.Marcus put Ivan down and made a cup of fragrant milk tea for Ivan.

At noon, Yelena had a meal with Marcus, Kevin, and Canglang.During the meal, Marcus asked if he wanted to stop by Yelena's place.Yelena described the location of her home and the surrounding conditions.Kevin and Canglang agreed to have fun.After hearing this, Ivan yelled out with joy.So, the three of them left the hotel in the afternoon and drove to Yelena's house.

There was no heavy snow in the afternoon, only sporadic light snow fell occasionally, and there was still some sunshine.

As the evening approached, the five arrived at Yelena's residence.

Yelena's house is a villa with a front yard and a garage.Because it is still cold in winter, the front yard is not green at all, and there is still thick snow.The three of them entered the villa under the leadership of Ivan.The villa is not big, but it is very warmly furnished and cleaned very well.

"Ivan, go and turn off the infrared and security devices." Marcus said standing by the window.When Ivan heard it, he ran into the kitchen quickly, moved a small stool behind the door, stepped on the stool, and pressed two buttons.

Marcus walked away after seeing Ivan finished, and reprimanded: "Put the little stool back to its original place." Ivan obediently obeyed after hearing this.

From the moment he entered the room, Kevin noticed that there seemed to be no men in this house. Although there were some men's items, such as men's shoes and men's coats hanging on the coat rack at the door, they still lacked a masculine atmosphere.

"Have you noticed? There are no men in this house." Marcus looked at Kevin and said, Kevin nodded.Then Marcus turned to look at Yelena.He whispered: "Yelena is a single mother, and Ivan's biological father left them both."

"I heard what you said, Marcus." Yelena said with her back to Marcus.After speaking, Yelena went into the kitchen and started cooking dinner.

"do you mind?"

Hearing what Marcus said, Yelena shook her head, "Without you, I didn't know what to do at that time." Yelena recalled. "At that time, Ivan was not born yet, but he was still nine months old. However, the man suddenly disappeared, left me and the child, and took all the money and left without a word. I had to go to work every day. At that time, I was in despair every day, and I didn’t know what to do next. I had no money, no shelter, and no one to rely on.” Speaking of this, Yelena smiled wryly. "I was pregnant without getting married at that time, so I didn't dare to tell my parents. When I was desperate, Marcus appeared by my side and gave me a lot of help. Without him, Ivan would not have grown up like this It is impossible for us to live in peace, and it is impossible to have such a good residence."

"Not married? What about Ivan now?" Cang Lang raised his doubts.

"Ivan is a Russian citizen. At that time, Yelena and I got a marriage certificate, and I rented an apartment for her to live in so that she could raise her baby. Then I bought this villa. When Ivan was half a year old, the villa It is also ready to move in, after the villa is furnished, I divorced Yelena, the villa belongs to Yelena, and the child is also hers." Marcus said lightly.

While Yelena and Marcus were talking about the past, Ivan sat obediently by the side and ate a small cake.Marcus reached out and rubbed Ivan's hair, then squatted in front of Ivan and said, "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?" Hearing this, Ivan's eyes flashed, and he nodded vigorously and quickly. "Then we will squeeze three people into one bed tonight!" Marcus said while looking at Kevin.

"Three?" Ivan was a little puzzled, tilting his head to look at Marcus.

Marcus didn't answer Ivan's doubts, but the wolf who was helping out laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Marcus asked the wolf, and rolled his eyes at the wolf.

"Do you want to have dinner? If you want to, come over and help, don't ask boring questions there." The wolf accused Marcus.Kevin silently walked over to help prepare the dinner. Yelena said that there is no need for Kevin to help, and one person is enough, so Kevin stood aside and looked at the vegetables on the stage.

"Mrs. Sidorov, may I ask a question?"

"can."

"Why does Marcus know you? Offer to help?"

"Yelena is a former Russian agent." Marcus answered the question for Yelena. "One operation failed, so she left the spy industry as a scapegoat."

"Is it the one from Argentina?" the wolf asked Marcus.Marcus nodded.Canglang went on to say: "That incident seems to be quite serious. In the end, no useful things were obtained, but several agents were killed instead."

Hearing this, Yelena lowered her head and stopped what she was doing. "It's all over, don't blame yourself anymore." Markus comforted Yelena after noticing Yelena's reaction.

"Sorry, I said something I shouldn't have said." Kevin apologized to Yelena, and Yelena shook her head and said it was okay.

After nearly an hour, dinner was ready.Buckwheat rice, fried potatoes, beef with fried onions, grilled eggplant, cold vegetables, beetroot soup, and dessert.A table of fresh meals will whet the appetite of the hungry.

Dinner table

"Ivan, do you really want to sleep with me?"

Ivan nodded vigorously with the unchewed food in his mouth.

"But, I don't want to sleep with you now."

"Why?" Ivan's words were vague.

"Because I just want to be with Kevin." Marcus raised his eyebrows when he said it, deliberately provoking Ivan.

"No. You must keep your word." Ivan finally swallowed the food in his mouth and said loudly.

Marcus pretended to be embarrassed, "Oh? I proposed it before eating, so there is no question of whether words count or not!"

Hearing this, Yelena, Kevin and Canglang smiled and looked at each other again.After hearing this, Ivan put down the spoon angrily, and acted coquettishly.

"Marcus, since you have spoken to Ivan, you must do what you say." Kevin spoke for Ivan.

"But I don't want a baby sleeping between us."

"Ivan, sleep by yourself. You are so old, do you still want to sleep with others?" Yelena asked Ivan.

"But...but I just want to..." Ivan lowered his head in frustration, "Marcus hasn't been here for a long time, and hasn't played with me for a long time."

"Kevin, do we want kids?"

"This... I never thought about it..."

The air suddenly became quiet, and it was eerily quiet.A few seconds later, Canglang broke the silence, "Why are you thinking about the child so quickly? Haven't you two received your certificate yet? Young people are just impatient. I am really old, old." Speaking of the last sentence , Canglang shook his head and sighed.Marcus rolled his eyes at the wolf, and started eating again.

"Little brat, do you want to sleep with me tonight?" Canglang actually asked Ivan, seeming to arouse his interest.

"You?" Ivan asked questioningly, and then said firmly, "No. I don't know you."

"Hey, it seems that it is impossible for me to have children in this life." Canglang became sad again.

"Go get married, find a woman, one night is enough." Marcus took the wolf's words.

"Am I such a casual person? I don't want to get married."

"Go adopt one."

"do not want!"

"Neither this nor that, what do you think?" Marcus was a little annoyed, deliberately restrained, and lowered his voice. "How long do you think you'll live?"

"It's because I don't have much time that I don't want to get married, and I don't want to involve others. What's more, being alone...is fine." After speaking, Canglang drank the rest of the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Ivan took a deep breath and said, "I can sleep with you tonight. But I have one request."

Canglang squinted at Ivan, "Say. What request?"

"You can't sleep naked, you have to wear clothes."

"Only this? OK, that's fine." Canglang readily agreed, just because he didn't sleep with his upper body in the first place, so there was no requirement for him at all.

You really still want a home, Marcus thought.

Before sleep

"Why don't you want to sleep with Ivan again, you promised him." Kevin asked while packing his clothes.

"So what if you agree?"

"What are you thinking?" Kevin asked with a half-smile.

"The wolf." Marcus said, "He wants to. So let him." After hearing this, Kevin didn't speak, he didn't know what to say.He didn't know much about Canglang's situation, so he didn't comment much.

"Geri asked Ivan because he wanted to have a family. He didn't have a complete family since he was a child. His parents divorced and lived with his grandparents. His parents re-established their families. He felt like he was redundant. Yes, no one. My family and his grandfather’s family used to be neighbors, and my parents knew about his family’s situation, so asking him to come to my house for dinner was considered taking care of him. But he rarely came to my house for dinner, and when he came, he just waited After a while, chat with me for a while." Marcus said as if talking to himself.

"He and I have been in the same school since we were young, both in elementary school, junior high school and high school, so if he doesn't come to my house, I will go to him after school. In the past, because his parents divorced, he couldn't get along well with others, even if he was in the same class. His classmates don’t trust him very much. Chatting with him and going home from school with him is because we played together since we were young, so no matter what happens to him, he will do it. Now he wants to experience the warmth of having a complete home, so he can’t let I have regrets. But he doesn't want to get married or adopt one." After speaking, Marcus smiled wryly. "So, he asked Ivan if he wanted to spend more time with children. He always felt that having a child would give him warmth, and having a child would be a home. At the dinner table, I suddenly asked you if you want a child, part of the reason It's Gerilatu..." Marcus didn't continue.

"Then, will the wolf stay or continue playing with us?" Kevin asked softly.

"Look at him. Yelena also knows something about him, but Geri doesn't know about their mother and child."

"Irina, can she accept the wolf?"

"It should be fine. Before we leave in a few days, I'll ask her."
