Farewell Flower Festival

When Mu Tianling went downstairs, he saw Han Lie was also downstairs. He was in no mood to talk to anyone at the moment, so he coldly ordered, "Get out." Han Lie glanced upstairs and did not argue with Mu Tianling, but he did not leave either. He walked to the door and waited.

Outside the building, the lake and moonlight complemented each other, but no one inside the building had the heart to appreciate them.

A slight breeze blew, and the calm mirror-like water surface was rippling, and a circle of ripples spread out, as if another world under the water surface had opened up...

"Yanyan, Yanyan..."

Who is calling me?

The sound became increasingly blurred, and then there was a knock on the door. A clear voice came into her ears. It was very familiar, it was her mother's voice.

Chao Yan opened her eyes and the bright sunshine came in through the window. It looked like another sunny day.

"Yanyan, get up and have breakfast. Your brother will be here soon."

Chaoyan agreed, her mind still a little dazed, then she remembered that it was summer vacation of her sophomore year. She had just returned home from school two days ago. Her parents and her brother went to the station to pick her up. Her brother rented an apartment near the company and no longer lived at home, but would come back for dinner if he was free on weekdays. And today her brother was going to bring his girlfriend back to meet her parents.

Thinking that she was about to meet her future sister-in-law, Chao Yan immediately got up, washed, and started choosing clothes. She had to dress in order to leave a good impression on her future sister-in-law.

After she had put together a set of clothes that she was satisfied with, there was a second knock on the door. She immediately opened the door and went to have breakfast. After breakfast, she immediately went back to her room to change clothes, tidied the room carefully, smoothed the sheets over and over again, and put the plush little white rabbit on the bedside into the closet. Then she went to the living room to take a few flowers out of the vase and brought them back to the room for decoration.

When everything was ready, the doorbell rang.

Chao Yan quickly adjusted her air bangs in front of the mirror, then quickly ran to the living room and stood there, keeping a friendly smile on her face, ready to greet her future sister-in-law. After her mother opened the door, Chao Yan saw the beauty next to her brother, and the smile on her face turned into amazement. Her future sister-in-law was too beautiful and very elegant. I really don't know how her brother got her.

Although her brother is also a handsome guy, who is good-looking both from the front and from the side, and can attract many girls to turn their heads when he walks on the street, her future sister-in-law's appearance and temperament are simply ceiling-level. Her brother is a pure science and engineering guy, his mind is as straight as steel, not to mention coaxing girls. It seems that it is mainly because of her brother's good-looking face.

At the dinner table, Chao Yan would steal glances at her future sister-in-law from time to time. The more she looked at her, the more beautiful she became. Her voice was also very pleasant, and the gifts she brought for her were just what she wanted. She was truly the perfect sister-in-law in her mind. If her brother let someone escape, she would "kill her own relatives for the sake of justice" and criticize him until he prostrated himself.

Two days later, when her brother came back for dinner, he didn't say a word at the table and looked like he was worried about something. Chaoyan could tell at a glance that it must be related to her future sister-in-law.

After dinner, she pulled her brother to the balcony to talk and asked what happened. Her brother initially insisted that nothing was wrong. She said she would call her future sister-in-law to find out. Anyway, she and her future sister-in-law added each other as friends on the day of meeting the parents and left their phone numbers. She even knew where her future sister-in-law worked and what position she held in the company.

As she pulled out her phone to make a call, her brother gave in and told her what happened last night.

After get off work last night, a man stopped her brother at the entrance of the company building and said that her future sister-in-law was with her brother just to spite him. They broke up in anger because one of them wanted to return to China and the other wanted to stay abroad to start a business, but they were each other's first love and could not let go of each other. She also showed her brother the couple photos they had taken abroad. Now that he is back, she advised her brother to let go as soon as possible and stop bothering her future sister-in-law, which would be better for everyone.

"What's the point of you wondering about this? Why don't you ask your sister-in-law in person? You should know the truth before you die. Your sister-in-law is beautiful and charming, so she must have many suitors around her. Maybe that guy is here to sow discord. If you don't ask her clearly, you will misunderstand your sister-in-law and fall into his trap. Call your sister-in-law right now and tell her that you are going to find her right now. No, I will go with you so that you won't run away at the last minute."

Her brother suddenly realized what was going on. He immediately called his future sister-in-law and left the house before hanging up the phone. Chaoyan felt that she didn't need to go with him, as her brother would definitely not run away.

The next day, when her brother came back for dinner, he brought her a gift that was bought for her by her future sister-in-law. Chaoyan knew that the two had resolved their misunderstanding, and after dinner, she took her brother to the balcony to talk.

Just as she expected, the man was here to sow discord. The stories about first love and breakup were all lies he made up. The two met when they were studying abroad, but they were just friends. The so-called couple photos were actually taken when they were partying with other friends abroad. The man deliberately enlarged the photos and made other people become the background, so that it looked like a couple selfie.

Things progressed very smoothly between the two of them, and the parents of both sides met to discuss the marriage.

After her junior year started, Chao Yan would privately chat with her sister-in-law about the wedding almost every night, counting the days until the long vacation.

The wedding is scheduled for the third day of the long holiday.

Asagao attended as the maid of honor, and the most important wedding ring was also kept by her.

When she offered her blessing and said that they would grow old together, her mind seemed to be struck by lightning and forgotten memories suddenly flooded in like a tide.

She remembered Mu Tianling and the promise they had made to each other to grow old together.

Everything around her dissipated like a dream bubble, and she found herself standing in front of a passage emitting white light. She could go back if she took one more step forward.

But she stood still.

At this time, the voices of her parents, her brother and her sister-in-law came from the other end of the corridor. Everyone was calling her. The repeated calls of "Yan Yan" made her unconsciously raise her foot to walk in. Suddenly, the voice of "Yan Yan" rang in her ears, and the voice sounded like a gentle prayer.

She looked at the other end of the passage, tears falling one by one like beads from a broken string, crying and choking, "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, I won't go back, brother, you and sister-in-law have to be well, go back to see mom and dad more often when you have time, dad, mom, I'm married, his name is Mu Tianling, he's your son-in-law, he treats me very well, he suffered a lot when he was a child, he was always alone, I promised him that I wouldn't leave him alone, dad, mom, I'm sorry."

She knelt down and kowtowed three times towards the other end of the passage. When she raised her head again, she found a figure walking towards her from the other end of the passage. She was so excited that she couldn't believe it. When the figure came closer, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

That was another her, or rather a younger her, just like the age she was when she traveled through time.

The older self hugged her gently.

Chao Yan suddenly understood and cried while laughing.

"You will be mine from now on, and you will definitely live happily over there."

The passage slowly closed, and the figure gradually blurred in the disappearing white light...

Chaoyan opened her eyes and woke up, tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes. The first thing she saw was Mu Tianling standing by her side. She saw that his chin was covered with stubble and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept for days and nights. She raised her hand and touched his face distressed, and he gently held her hand.

He called her Yanyan softly, his voice so hoarse that only she could hear it. She smiled at him and said, "I will never leave again. I will always, always, always be with you."

Han Lie was standing outside the door and saw this scene, then turned and left.
