"Yu Miao..."

Yu Miao knew very clearly that he was in a dream, his weightless body seemed to be floating in the air, and he let the white smoke surrounding him engulf him.

After a while, the fog dissipated.In the dream, there are white petals flying all over the sky, swaying and fluttering, a huge and thick locust tree that can only be embraced by four people, a pool of lotus, and an old house.

These seemed to be the scenes in his deepest memory.

It is the place where he played and grew up when he was a child, the Yu family's ancestral house.The hundred-year-old house still retains the style of Jiangnan gardens in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with unadorned corridors and tall walls.

"A Miao..." The ghostly voice called his name again.

Yu Miao was slightly stunned, as if something was about to break out of the depths of her memory.

People who are familiar with him call him A Miao, but this ghostly voice seems to him that someone has called him so intimately before.

"who are you?"

The petals fluttered in the sky, but there was no wind in the dream, everything was too silent, and the petals would move automatically without wind.

"Ding"--

Suddenly, from the dark and thick tree surrounded by smoke, a "jingle" bell rang.

"Ah Miao..."

First, the strange fragrance lingered on the tip of the nose, and then, the rotten smell that could not be concealed came to the face.

Seeing the "person" who appeared in a daze, Yu Miao's originally calm dark eyes were suddenly disturbed.

"A Miao..."

His cheeks were touched by a pair of cold hands, tenderly, familiar, with a silver ring in his slender hands, Yu Miao stared blankly at the woman's face in front of her, in disbelief.

how come……

"You have grown up." In the gentle female voice was the intimacy of the elder, and the hands slowly moved from his cheeks to his shoulders.

"A Miao has grown up."

"mom……"

Yu Miaoqing couldn't help shouting, and it didn't take long for him to come back to his senses. He realized that this was definitely not true, and the face in front of him suddenly changed——

This time it was a man with a serious face, his father.

"Ah Miao, you've grown into a man." I was pleased with the familiar words.

His parents had long since died, when he was very young.Yu Miao clicked her tongue, and the emotion in her eyes faded in an instant.More than ten years have passed, and there is nothing that cannot be forgotten.

So, is this a dream?If it is a dream, why does it feel so real?

"Who are you?" The voice was hoarse, and Yu Miao's eyes were full of irritability.

"I am whoever you think I am, A Miao...as long as you need and desire..."

What words were gradually covered up, Yu Miao suddenly opened her eyes.

Next to him is Qin Fu, and outside the windshield is the endless green mountain road.

Everything just now was just a weird and absurd dream.

It was already noon when Yu Miao and Qin Fu arrived. They happened to meet Yu Yan who was sweeping the snow on the side of the yard. The golden sunlight refracted on the white snow. Yu Miao opened the car door and subconsciously raised her arm to cover her eyes.

The winter in the mountain village is extremely quiet. The bare black trees and a few simple houses are like an ink painting.

"Aunt." Yu Miao greeted.

Seeing someone coming, Yu Yan hurriedly put the broom aside and greeted him with a bright smile: "Brother Miao is back! There is rice cooking in the pot for you! Hey Xiaoqin, why are you here?"

Qin Fu, who was carrying a big bag and a small bag, showed a harmless smile that didn't match his appearance, nodded enthusiastically and said, "I've been staying with A Miao recently, and he said he would come back to have a look. I think it's been a long time since I visited you, auntie." Come and take a look. I didn't expect Auntie to be so young after so many years!"

"You're still so good at talking~" Yu Yan covered her mouth when she saw what Qin Fu was carrying, and said, "Come on, why are you carrying so many things? You child."

While talking, she glanced at Yu Miao, and seeing his idle appearance, she frowned suddenly and winked at Yu Miao.

Feeling the sight, Yu Miao, who was about to take out a cigarette and took out the lighter, was silent, and put the cigarette and lighter back.

"Tsk..." He bowed his head in resignation, and walked to Qin Fu's, "Give it to me."

Reaching out for some of the pockets, Yu Miao walked quickly into the yard, and Qin Fu quickly signaled to Yu Yan to follow behind.

"By the way, there is still someone at home as a guest. It is a master we invited. Brother Miao, remember to toast first!"

Yu Yan instructed.

Hearing this sentence, Yu Miao paused, turned around and looked at her aunt inexplicably, "Why are you suddenly called a master, which family is Buddha or Tao?"

"Buddha!"

After Yu Miao returned to the room, Yu Yan, who was cleaning outside, stopped, frowned and muttered, "Brother Miao is not dating Xiao Qin, is he? Hey, he looks too coquettish..."

"But men always like that type."

Braised prawns in oil, garlic eggplant, crispy broth—most of the dishes on the table are Yu Miao's favorite dishes, and it's also thanks to Qin Fu helping Yu Yan, otherwise it really wouldn't be possible in a short time.

but……

The bowls and chopsticks on the table in front of Yu Miao didn't move. He squinted his eyes and stared at the man sitting opposite him, sucked on his cigarette and sneered.

Good guy, this hair is smoother than his, and he is also a monk and a master.Cooperate and rely on face to deceive?It looks more like a demon monk than Wuhua in Yitian Tulongji.

The other party also noticed his gaze, tilted his head and smiled at him slightly, his handsome face was quite charming, like a star and not a monk.

Qin Fu was older than Yu Miao, and he was immersed in society, so he was an old man when it came to dealing with affairs and relationships.He looked at Yu Miao's face, then smiled at Kong Xiang who was sitting across from him, and said, "Master is so young, I really didn't expect it at first glance, I thought he was a college student."

After saying this, without asking for a response, Qin Fu treated Yu Miao's elder warmly again.

"Uncle, I brought you a bottle of wine."

With a smile on his face, he took out a box of wine from under the table and handed it over with both hands.

Pei Baoquan was pleasantly surprised: "Oh! Good wine, thank you Xiao Qin!"

The elder laughed heartily, Qin Fu also laughed along, sat next to Yu Miao, and then moved his chopsticks to eat. Apart from getting up from time to time to pick out dishes from a distance for the elder, he just went to watch Yu Miao.

He looked at Yu Miao's clean bowl, the chopsticks were placed neatly on it, and he didn't dare to move... After all, young people don't like other people's behavior of picking vegetables.

He asked in a low voice: "Ah Miao, don't you have any appetite?"

Yu Miao closed her eyes, played with the tobacco rod with her slender fingers, nodded without speaking.

This made the uncle Pei Baoquan look at his eyebrows, frown and stare, and said loudly, "Smoking is still on the dining table, why don't you hurry up and eat!" The next moment he looked around, and he said again, "Come on, come on!" , Brother Miao, toast Master!"

"...Master?" Yu Miao's tone was impatient, she lowered her head dejectedly, her fluffy and slightly curly hair shook, and the corners of her lips were tense. He raised his wine glass to show his elders face, and stood up unenthusiastically.

The wine glass was flushed, "Master, I would like to toast you." There was no passion in what he said, just lazy and out of tune.

"Brother Miao..." Yu Yan reprimanded lightly, looking a little anxious to say something, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Pei Baoquan, who had just reprimanded her nephew, with a pale face and a flash of red in his eyes.

Yu Yan was terrified, her face was completely drained of blood, her eyes widened in fright, and her voice was stuck in her throat.

Then, Kong Xiang, who hadn't spoken much all this time, raised his juice, pursed his lips and smiled softly.

He said: "Thank you, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, you really are a good-looking talent."

Every move is as elegant as a lotus, the cup containing fruit juice clinks with Yu Miao's wine, his cup is much lower than Yu Miao's, unlike the elders and even their peers who clink glasses with etiquette.

It's probably too self-deprecating...

Qin Fu also felt a little puzzled, and then he gathered the ermine shawl around his body, looked at the monk who was a little strange opposite, and said with a smile: "What is Master doing here? But what happened to Uncle and Aunt's house?"

"This question," Kong Xiang put his palms together, with a quiet and beautiful smile, "you can ask him."

"he?"

——"Ah Miao..."

Suddenly, "Pei Baoquan" uttered intermittent and extremely hoarse calls, which sounded sad and filled with sticky paranoia that made people unable to breathe.

Yu Miao raised her eyes and stared at him, while Yu Yan couldn't help screaming.

"what--"

"Ah Miao, why don't you come to see me..."

"...how could you forget me..."
