a man who appears once a year

Ruan Qiuping slept surprisingly comfortably last night. When he stretched his waist and opened his eyes, he felt much lighter all over his body.

only……

How did he come to the bedroom?He obviously slept in the living room last night.

Ruan Qiuping pushed open the door and went out. He searched everywhere in the bedroom, living room, study, and garden, but he still couldn't find Yu Huan.

"Is Mr. Ruan looking for something?" Butler Zhang came over and asked.

Ruan Qiuping asked: "Where is that Mr. Yu who came with me, didn't he come back last night?"

"Should have come back." Butler Zhang said, "But in the early hours of last night, the captain of the bodyguard saw him go out again."

Left again in the early hours of last night?Is being a teaching assistant so busy?

Ruan Qiuping frowned involuntarily.

After breakfast, Ruan Qiuping started to complete the tasks assigned by Si Ming.

Ruan Qiuping was teleported to this villa for a reason.

Because his mission target is within the villa.

According to the task card, today is the third year that pastry chef Xiao Ling and bodyguard captain Da Zhuang have had a crush on each other.

And Ruan Qiuping has only one mission this time, and that is to help the two people who are Momojiu pierce the window paper.

When Ruan Qiuping saw the content of the task card, he was very suspicious that Si Ming had accepted Yuelao's red envelope and lent them these students to help Yuelao complete the task.

Ruan Qiuping made a lot of strategy plans last night, and finally chose the safest one.

When the evening came, Ruan Qiuping proposed to eat barbecue, and said that it would be too deserted to eat barbecue alone, so he asked the housekeeper to gather all the staff of the whole villa to join in the fun.

After eating barbecue and drinking beer, Ruan Qiuping began to suggest that everyone play truth or dare together.In the game, Ruan Qiuping cheated secretly by using spells. After several turns, he forced the captain of the bodyguard to confess his love to the pastry chef.

The two hugged and kissed amidst the boisterous noise of the crowd, while Ruan Qiuping turned his head to look at the gate of the villa.

...Yu Huan hasn't come back yet.

The atmosphere of the whole barbecue party reached its climax after the birth of a new couple, there was noise and laughter everywhere, but when Ruan Qiuping thought of Yu Huan's absence, he felt empty.

Where did Yu Huan go?What kind of tricky things are you dealing with, so you don't come back for so long?

This time, because the difficulty was more complicated than last time, the wristbands only blocked half of the students' mana... Could it be that because the students' mana increased, they started causing trouble everywhere?

Ruan Qiuping couldn't help thinking wildly.

He lowered his head to look at the new call button on his wrist, and even wanted to abuse the emergency call to find Yu Huan.

At this moment, Steward Zhang hurried over: "Mr. Ruan, my father rushed over to see you when he heard that you were coming. Would you like to see him?"

Steward Zhang's father started working in this villa when Yu Huan was 42 years old. After Yu Huan passed away, he resigned from his job as a housekeeper and let his son manage this empty villa without an owner.

Ruan Qiuping also witnessed that person from a neat young man to an old man with a kind smile.

And going back further, Yu Huan, who was six years old at the time, was staying alone in the villa on the mountain, and the uncle Henry Zhang who was closest to him was the grandfather of the old housekeeper now.

Four generations of the Zhang family's grandparents have been serving Yu Huan.

Because of this relationship, Yu Huan especially trusted them during his lifetime, and Ruan Qiuping was also very grateful to them.

"Of course I would." Ruan Qiuping said, "I haven't seen him for many years, is your father still in good health?"

Butler Zhang: "Thanks to Mr. Ruan's concern, my father is still in good health, but he has some mild Alzheimer's disease, occasionally forgetting things, but most of the time it is normal. He always remembers things when he was young. It is very strong, so I heard that you are coming, so I want to come to see you."

"The old butler should be 80 years old this year. It must be inconvenient to travel. Where is he now? Let me go see him."

"No, no, my father is already on his way and will be there soon." Butler Zhang said with a smile.

The young servants and bodyguards at the dining table had already started to play the second round of truth or dare, but Ruan Qiuping suddenly felt bored.

He stood up, walked to the barbecue stand, and prepared to grill the meat himself.

Just as Ruan Qiuping was putting his favorite ingredients on the bamboo sticks for barbecue, Butler Zhang came over again.

The group of young people next to them seemed to be having fun, and suddenly shouted something, which just covered half of Butler Zhang's voice.

Ruan Qiuping didn't hear the first half of Zhang Butler's words, only heard him say that someone is coming.

"Is your father here? So soon?" Ruan Qiuping said.

But Butler Zhang shook his head and said, "No, that Mr. Yu is back."

As soon as he heard Yu Huan came back, Ruan Qiuping's eyes suddenly lit up.

The tiredness and boredom just now disappeared without a trace.

He took off the gloves he had just put on when he was a child, and ran towards the door as fast as he could.

Seeing Yu Huan's figure, Ruan Qiuping almost rushed over to hug him.

But Ruan Qiuping was still somewhat rational, he stopped in front of Yu Huan, raised his head to look at him, his eyes sparkled with a smile: "Yu Huan, where have you been?"

Yu Huan remained silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Are you waiting for me?"

Ruan Qiuping nodded and said, "I've been waiting for you for a whole day. You're not here. It's getting so boring here."

Yu Huan felt his heart being gently moved again.

He suddenly looked a little dazed.

...Maybe, that ring doesn't mean anything.

It's because he thinks too much.

Suppressing all the doubts in his heart, Yu Huan pursed his lips and said: "I received a notice here, saying that your mission has been completed, do you want to go back early?"

The rules of descending this time are different from the previous ones.

Because now not only have to record, but also have to complete more practical tasks, so there is no rule for the bracelet to be sent back to heaven after 5 minutes.It is more casual, as long as the task is completed, you can go back at any time, but if you still cannot complete the task within half an hour, it will be considered a failure and points will be deducted.

"Later, there is one more person waiting, the old housekeeper here wants to meet me." Ruan Qiuping happily pulled Yu Huan's wrist, "Let's go to the barbecue, I'll grill fish for you."

The fish has been processed and set aside, just need to keep turning and grilling by hand.

"What are the tasks of the other students?" Ruan Qiuping asked curiously while turning over the grilled fish.

Yu Huan: "They're all similar to you, and it's all about finding lovers."

Ruan Qiuping curled his lips: "It's so boring, I even suspect that Si Ming accepted a bribe from Yuelao."

Yu Huan picked up the skewers that Ruan Qiuping had just put on, and said, "I heard that Siming College is going to subdivide majors, and one of the majors is Si Marriage."

Yu Huan glanced at the young couple who had just been made into a couple beside him, and said, "I think Ruan Ruan can consider this new major."

Ruan Qiuping raised his eyebrows: "Are you praising my talent?"

"I met a lot of students today, among them Ruan Ruan completed the best task."

Ruan Qiuping was seldom praised by others, but now that he was praised, he immediately laughed happily: "It seems that I didn't read so many small stories for nothing. From now on, call me a little genius in love."

The movements in Yu Huan's hands paused for a moment, but his voice was restrained without any ups and downs, and his expression was still calm: "It turns out that Ruan Ruan learned these skills from books, people who don't know think that Ruan Ruan has What a rich love experience."

"Who can a person like me fall in love with? Isn't it a waste of time?" Ruan Qiuping said carelessly, "Yu Huan, give me the salt."

Yu Huan slowly bent his eyes, smiled and handed over the salt next to him.

He really thought too much.

Yu Huan thought.

Perhaps, that ring was just a relic of Mr. Yu, and Ruan Ruan kept the ring as a good friend.

Maybe Mr. Yu is just unrequitedly in love with Ruan Ruan.

Maybe, it was just a ring that Ruan Ruan got from trading Lin Tao many years ago, and she engraved her name on it simply because she thought it was fun.

When Ruan Qiuping was sprinkling salt, he accidentally bumped into the oil bottle next to him, and the oil dripped into the oven, and the flames shot up in an instant, which made Ruan Qiuping cry out in surprise, and took a few steps back in a hurry.

Yu Huan hastily put down the grilled skewers in his hand: "Ruan Ruan, is it burnt?"

Ruan Qiuping shook his left hand and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I got burned."

Yu Huan frowned, took Ruan Qiuping's hand: "Let me see."

"It's all right..."

"do not move."

Yu Huan looked down, only to find that Ruan Qiuping only had a few hairs on his fingers wiped away by the flames, other than that, there was no burn.

Just as Yu Huan was about to put down Ruan Qiuping's hand, he found some light mist appeared on the ring finger of Ruan Qiuping's left hand.

Yu Huan's eyes were fixed on the cloud of water mist.

... This is a high-end deception method of the water-type immortal, which is beyond Ruan Qiuping's ability.

It's Xia Fushui's blindfold.

Although Xia Fushui's cultivation level is not as good as Yu Huan's, who has been conferred a god, she is a Huaxian who has cultivated for thousands of years, and she is best at illusion.If it wasn't for the loopholes in the water spell when it encountered fire, even Yu Huan might not be able to see it.

Yu Huan moved his fingers slightly, cast a spell calmly, and the layer of mist on Ruan Qiuping's fingers completely dissipated.

And after this layer of magic dissipated, Ruan Qiuping's ring finger was still covered with a thin layer of clumsy blindness.

But this way of blinding the eyes is too low-end, and it is useless to Yu Huan.

So Yu Huan saw what was on Ruan Qiuping's left ring finger at a glance.

This is a ring with a strange shape, like two entangled threads - it is exactly the same design as the ring on Ruan Qiuping's chest.

This is a wedding ring.

One was a wedding ring that was covered up and covered up by two people with painstaking spells, but they were reluctant to take it off anyway.

The ring on Ruan Qiuping's neck was engraved with Ruan Ruan's name.

So the one in Ruan Qiuping's hand is also engraved with that man's name?

Yu Huan heard the sound of his heart falling silent in the dark night.

Yu Huan raised his head to look at Ruan Qiuping, feeling that the blood all over his body was frozen into ice at this moment.

But Ruan Qiuping didn't notice this.

He took out his hand, waved the ring-wearing left hand in front of Yu Huan, and asked, "Yu Huan, why are you in a daze?"

Yu Huan grabbed Ruan Qiuping's hand.

Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and suddenly found that Yu Huan was constantly exerting force in holding his hand, and he didn't intend to stop at all.

Ruan Qiuping pulled out his hand vigorously, flicked his wrist lightly, frowned, and complained, "Yu Huan...you hurt me."

But Yu Huan didn't say a word.

Ruan Qiuping raised his head to look at Yu Huan, and suddenly found that Yu Huan's expression became a little strange.

Ruan Qiuping was about to ask him what's the matter, but Butler Zhang greeted him with a smile on his face: "Mr. Ruan, my father is here! It's just that wheelchairs are not convenient to come to this lawn, and I have to trouble Mr. Ruan to move a little bit."

Ruan Qiuping nodded towards Steward Zhang, then took off the apron on his body, and said to Yu Huan, "Yu Huan, wait for me for a while, I'm going to see someone."

Yu Huan lowered his head, seemed to be nodding, but also seemed to ignore Ruan Qiuping.

When Ruan Qiuping followed Steward Zhang, he turned his head and took another look.

Yu Huan has already returned to the barbecue stand and continued grilling skewers. He lowered his head, and there was no change in his expression.

Ruan Qiuping glanced at his left hand that had just been held in pain, feeling a little strange in his heart.

When the old butler saw Ruan Qiuping, he was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

"Mr. Ruan, long time no see."

Ruan Qiuping sat opposite the old butler and chatted with him for a long time.

The old housekeeper said that although Yu Huan's ashes were taken away by Ruan Qiuping, Yu Huan supported many disabled children throughout his life, but those children wanted to worship him when they grew up, but found that there was no place to worship him, so they volunteered to pay homage to him. On the cemetery that Yu Huan had originally chosen, a tomb was erected.

The Clothes Tomb was cleaned up very cleanly. Although many years have passed, there are still people to clean and worship.

Ruan Qiuping lowered his eyes and said, "I was too selfish and took him away on my own, but I forgot that there are people here who miss him."

The old butler smiled, and slowly said: "Mr. Ruan, don't say that. Mr. Yu has been waiting for you and looking at you all his life. If he knows that you have taken him away, he might be so happy."

"Mr. Ruan, I am here this time because I actually have one more thing I want to give you personally."

"what?"

The old butler took out a bunch of things from his pocket, and uncovered the layers of handkerchiefs, revealing a long delicate leather box.

The old housekeeper handed the long box to Ruan Qiuping: "This is a gift from Mr. Yu, but this gift is purely handmade, and the construction period is relatively long. Mr. Yu didn't have time to give it to you before he passed away."

Ruan Qiuping opened the box, and inside was a black pen.

The top of the pen is inlaid with a relatively low-key but shining black diamond, and a circle of broken diamonds is inlaid under the gemstone. Holding it in the hand, it feels heavy and quite textured.

"Mr. Yu said that this pen is better than the pen in his study. If you use it to write, the ink will not break."

Ruan Qiuping looked a little dazed, and he suddenly remembered that when Yu Huan was 85 years old, he used Yu Huan's pen in Yu Huan's study. Mine is much easier to use, the pen I bought in the trading forest will run out of ink every now and then, which is very annoying."

Yu Huan gave him a lot of pens at that time, and said: "Ruan Ruan, these pens are not very good, next time you come, I will give you a good one."

"The construction period of this pen was not that long, but when it was almost finished, Mr. Yu accidentally saw this rare black diamond, so he had this pen reworked and redone, replacing the original gemstone with a diamond. .”

Ruan Qiuping looked at the pen: "...I just said it casually, why should he be so careful."

"Mr. Yu didn't treat it as an ordinary gift." The old housekeeper said, "He told me that this pen was given to you as your wedding present."

"...a wedding gift? He thought far ahead."

The old housekeeper wanted to tell Ruan Qiuping that Mr. Yu had known about his other engagement, but he opened his mouth, but closed it again.

Forget it, Mr. Yu has concealed his whole life, so why should he tell it to make Mr. Ruan sad.

The old butler talked a lot with Ruan Qiuping again. He spoke clearly and his thinking was coherent, not like an early Alzheimer's patient.

But while talking, Ruan Qiuping heard the old housekeeper sigh suddenly: "Although Mr. Yu's ashes were taken away by Mr. Ruan, he has sponsored many disabled children in his life, and those disabled children want to come to worship when they grow up. he……"

Butler Zhang quickly leaned over and said to the old butler, "Dad, you've already said these words."

The old butler was stunned for a moment, and said, "...I never said it, when did I say it?"

"Mr. Ruan, I'm sorry, my father is ill."

"It's all right." Ruan Qiuping quickly waved his hand.

At this moment, Yu Huan suddenly walked over.

He stood in front of Ruan Qiuping and said in a low voice, "I still have some things to do, so let's go first."

Ruan Qiuping glanced at his bracelet, but it wasn't on.

Ruan Qiuping asked puzzledly: "What's the matter with you, isn't there something special about the other students?"

Yu Huan was silent for a while, and then said: "It's getting dark, I have to find a place to rest."

"Can't you rest here?"

"Do you think it's appropriate for me to rest here?"

Yu Huan looked at Ruan Qiuping gravely, with unreadable emotions hidden in his dark eyes.

Ruan Qiuping was slightly taken aback, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Yu Huan today.

"Mr. Yu!" The old housekeeper in the wheelchair suddenly yelled out with surprise, "You and Mr. Ruan are back together! How did you become younger! Now you two look exactly like the one in the wedding photo!"

Ruan Qiuping's body froze, and he felt cold sweat breaking out from his entire back.

Butler Zhang also hurriedly interrupted the old butler: "Dad, you are sick, please stop talking... You read it wrong, this is not Mr. Yu..."

"Ah... Did I read it wrong... It really looks like... Well, but Mr. Yu is indeed a little different from the wedding photo..."

"Mr. Yu, I'm sorry...Mr. Ruan, I'm sorry." Butler Zhang hurriedly said, "I'm really sorry, my father is ill, I'll take him away..."

After Zhang Butler finished speaking, he hurriedly pushed the old butler away.

There are only Ruan Qiuping and Yu Huan left here.

Yu Huan looked at Ruan Qiuping steadfastly, but Ruan Qiuping felt sweat protruding from his forehead.

"Ruan Ruan." Yu Huan said suddenly, "Do you and I look alike?"

Ruan Qiuping's lips trembled, and he shook his head like a rattle.

"Does it look like it?" Yu Huan asked again.

Although the tone was very gentle, Ruan Qiuping felt a strong sense of oppression.

Ruan Qiuping said in a low voice: "...the old housekeeper just fell ill, he was talking nonsense."

Yu Huan took a step forward, looked down at Ruan Qiuping: "So, the fact that you married that person, is he also talking nonsense?"

Ruan Qiuping opened his mouth, because he was too thick-skinned, and he couldn't lie blatantly.

"Am I like him?" Yu Huan asked for the third time.

Ruan Qiuping closed his eyes and acquiesced in resignation.

"His surname has the same pronunciation as mine, so does his name sound similar to mine?" Yu Huan paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand to touch Ruan Qiuping's face, his voice was calm, "Perhaps, after drinking that day, you gave me the same pronunciation." The good morning kiss was actually for him?"

"Yu Huan..."

Ruan Qiuping opened his mouth, and suddenly felt that the current situation was too bad to be worse.

He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "Yu Huan, actually..."

"Actually, you don't have to hide anything from me, and you don't have to apologize to me." Yu Huan interrupted Ruan Qiuping without any expression on his face, "Ruan Ruan said that we only got engaged because of the Heavenly Marriage Stone, and we just lived together There is no relationship between you and me, and there is no need to talk about feelings. Besides, we are not officially married yet, and you and that person are over, and I am not qualified to ask about your relationship experience. "

What Ruan Qiuping wanted to say was instantly swallowed back.

"However, too many people here know that your identity is unusual, which is not right." Looking into Ruan Qiuping's eyes, Yu Huan seemed to ask politely, "Can I erase their memories? "

Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment: "...Then they won't remember me."

"They don't need to remember a god." Yu Huan said calmly, "It's not good for both of you."

Yu Huan waited for three seconds, before Ruan Qiuping made a statement.

So he said: "Since Ruan Ruan agreed, then I will start."

Ruan Qiuping clenched his fist subconsciously.

Yu Huan stretched out his hand and slowly drew a talisman in the air, and everyone in the entire villa immediately fainted on the ground.

Yu Huan's voice was as cool as water: "When they wake up, they won't remember that you came, they have no memory about you, and naturally they won't continue to work in this villa and wait for you, they will slowly leave the villa , this place will be idle, and no one will remember that you have lived here."

Ruan Qiuping's eyelashes trembled.

Yu Huan lowered his head, gently and carefully took off the necklace with the ring on Ruan Qiuping's neck, and also took off the ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

Under Ruan Qiuping's unbelievable gaze, Yu Huan put the two rings in Ruan Qiuping's palm, and said softly: "Ruan Ruan, I don't really mind that you miss the old man, but our wedding is coming soon, and this ring is too obvious." , if someone sees it, it’s not easy to explain, Ruan Ruan should put it away.”

After Yu Huan cleaned up other people's memories and traces on Ruan Qiuping's body, he gently rubbed the corners of Ruan Qiuping's eyes with his fingertips.

His voice is clear and light, gentle and pleasant.

"No one in this world remembers the experience between you and him anymore. It's better for Ruan Ruan to forget earlier, and I will pretend that nothing happened."

"After all, the weddings between mortals and gods should not be counted."
