Grandmother heard that Qin Mingzhu and Yan Jiayu were going out to play today, so Aunt Ming asked Aunt Ming to give them a big bottle of sour plum juice soup and put it in a straw jug.

"The drinks made at home are cleaner than the drinks outside."

Qin Mingzhu looked at the cartoon water bottle with straws in her arms, and said rather dumbfoundingly: "Grandma, we are not elementary school students going on a spring outing."

"Aren't they all going out to play? Take it with you, you see that Jiayu has brought it."

Qin Mingzhu looked at the person next to her in search of sound, and Yan Jiayu had already carried the cartoon water bottle slantedly on her body. Combined with his white T and black sweatpants today, he looked very much like a high school student.

He met Qin Mingzhu's astonished eyes, his eyes flickered for a moment, "Take it, it's hot outside."

So Qin Mingzhu also carried the sour plum juice soup cartoon kettle full of grandmother's love.

Not far from Su Garden, there is a not-so-famous ancient town that is rarely known to foreign tourists. Basically, locals from Nancheng sneak in to visit it.

Sit on the booked awning boat, the clear water ripples, the winding river network, the green tiles and white walls on both sides, and the willows hanging down the ground.Qin Mingzhu propped his chin, looking at the hometown he had never seen carefully in the summer light.

Although he grew up in Nancheng, and later settled in Nancheng like his parents, he spent a long time in his life traveling all over the world.The hometown of Nancheng is a relative to him, so he naively thought that Nancheng would remain unchanged.In fact, there is no uneasy homeland. With the development of the times, Nancheng has changed greatly since then.

Staring at the scenery in a daze, a cool breeze blew over.

Qin Mingzhu turned her face and met Yan Jiayu's gaze.Yan Jiayu took a round mandarin duck fan from nowhere and fanned him.

"Is it hot?" Yan Jiayu asked him while fanning him.

Qin Mingzhu shook her head, "It's okay." Then she asked the other party, "What about you?"

"I'm not hot either."

After a conversation, both of them couldn't help laughing.

This conversation sounds so silly.

Apart from laughing, Qin Mingzhu also had other emotions in her heart.He became more and more aware of the difference between the Yan Jiayu in front of him and the Yan Jiayu in his last memory in his previous life.

After Yan Jiayu's amputation in her previous life, she never showed such a sincere smile again.

In fact, after the breakup in the previous life, he met Yan Jiayu unilaterally once.

It was an airport in country L. The airport was dilapidated and small, and it didn't even have a VIP waiting room.He sat with his friends, waiting for a flight delayed by a snowstorm.

When he was about to grow moldy, he saw Yan Jiayu.

Qin Mingzhu almost didn't recognize Yan Jiayu at first glance, because Yan Jiayu was very different from his impression.

Yan Jiayu held a pearl cane in one hand, a three-piece suit with a dark gray woolen coat, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her fair and handsome face. She looked cold and hurried, surrounded by subordinates and bodyguards on both sides.

He didn't notice Qin Mingzhu, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Qin Mingzhu stood up at that time, and almost blurted out the words "Brother Jiayu", but in the end he held back.

After sitting down, he used his tablet to search for the latest news of the Yan Group.It turns out that the Yan Group recently invested in a large project in country L, so it's no wonder that Yan Jiayu appeared in this small airport.

Qin Mingzhu silently locked the screen of the tablet, and then glanced at the direction Yan Jiayu left, wondering if that person had eaten well, and why he was thinner than when he was recovering.

Also, why is that cane still in use?

Obviously, there is no problem at all when walking with prosthetic limbs.

Qin Mingzhu, who was caught in the past, couldn't control it for a while, and suddenly grabbed Yan Jiayu's hand, and when she found that the other party was looking at her questioningly, she added: "I, I want to hold hands."

Yan Jiayu didn't speak, but just curled the corners of her lips lightly, and then clenched Qin Mingzhu's hand tightly. It didn't take long for her fingers to interlock again.

When the black-peng boat arrived, Yan Jiayu disembarked first. When he disembarked, Qin Mingzhu stared nervously at Yan Jiayu's legs, and was relieved when she saw that no one had fallen.This is the second time that Yan Jiayu in this life goes out with a cane instead of a wheelchair.

There are shops on the shore. The first shop they visited was a goldfish shop. Once they entered it, it was like entering a small underwater world. The walls were full of large and small water tanks, and there were various goldfish in the blue water.

Qin Mingzhu carefully looked at each water tank, and when he saw one of them, he pointed, "Brother Jiayu, let's buy these two kissing fish and go back."

Yan Jiayu walked over, and bent down like Qin Mingzhu, and the bright light illuminated their faces at the same time, and at this moment, the two pale pink fish in the tank happened to stick together, mouth to mouth.

Seeing the fish sticking together, Qin Mingzhu's eyes quickly fell on Yan Jiayu's lips.Unexpectedly, Yan Jiayu also turned her head to look over.

The eyes of the two met unexpectedly.

Half of Yan Jiayu's face fell into the light, his nose bridge was straight, lining the deep eye sockets.In the previous life, Qin Mingzhu liked to touch Yan Jiayu's eyelashes very much. He even counted them, but he couldn't count them every time.Because it didn't take long before Yan Jiayu grabbed her hand and kissed her.

Qin Mingzhu hurriedly stood up straight, turned and walked to the counter, "Boss, I want to buy those two fish."

By the afternoon of shopping, Qin Mingzhu had already finished the sour plum juice soup in the kettle. He walked around and played, and he really found a little youthful feeling.

He actually understands that a large part of the reason is his current youth.

His body was not very healthy in his previous life. He was addicted to alcohol, loved to smoke cigars, and liked sweets. He didn't start to maintain his health until he was 40 years old.

And this body, even though it was a hangover last night, except for a slight discomfort in the early morning, there is no abnormality in the body.

In the afternoon, they booked a play in the old theater. The front was still the famous "Wujiapo".

Qin Mingzhu gradually felt that the actor's play was very familiar. After a few minutes, when he saw the child in the costume giving the sandalwood fan in his hand to the child in the wheelchair, he couldn't help looking at Yan Jiayu next to him.

Yan Jiayu's eyes were on the stage, he was a little distracted, as if he was nostalgic, and he seemed to be caught in the plot with the actors on the stage. When Qin Mingzhu called him, Fang turned his face slightly, "What's wrong?"

"When did you ask them to line up?" Qin Mingzhu asked.

In his last life, he did not agree to Yan Jiayu's confession, nor did he see this play.

"A few months ago." Yan Jiayu smiled lightly, "I always wanted to take you to see it, but I couldn't find a good opportunity."

Having said that, he opened the kettle in front of him and handed it to Qin Mingzhu.

Qin Mingzhu silently lowered his head to drink the sour plum juice soup, he knew why Yan Jiayu suddenly turned on the kettle, he must have seen the tears in his eyes.

This play based on Qin Mingzhu and Yan Jiayu was performed until old age.Seeing the two trembling old men walking together, Qin Mingzhu felt both crying and funny, so she leaned into Yan Jiayu's ear and whispered, "Your beard fell off, did you see it?"

He was talking about the actor who played Yan Jiayu.

Yan Jiayu laughed, "I see."

The actor tried to glue the beard back several times but failed, and half of the gray beard was sticking up, which was very obvious.

After walking out of the theater, Qin Mingzhu thought for a while, and put out her hand to touch Yan Jiayu's crowd pretending to be playful, "Don't grow a beard in the future, I think you look good without a beard."

Yan Jiayu frowned slightly, and held Qin Mingzhu's hand, "Okay."

After saying yes, he didn't let go, and led him away.

The cartoon water bottle on Qin Mingzhu's body has become Yan Jiayu's, and his empty water bottle has been replaced by Yan Jiayu's back.While being led away, he drank the sour plum juice in his hand, and his eyes fell on Yan Jiayu uncontrollably.

How much did he miss in his previous life?

If I had agreed to Yan Jiayu's confession at the age of 19 in my previous life, would some things that happened later not happen?

"Want to eat lotus pods?" Yan Jiayu turned her head.

Qin Mingzhu suppressed the sourness in her eyes, "Eat."

In addition to buying lotus pods, I also bought a lotus.Holding the lotus in her arms, Qin Mingzhu boarded the black-covered boat again and prepared to return to Su Garden, but unexpectedly, it rained suddenly at dusk.

Although they rushed to the shore and found an eaves to hide from the rain, the clothes on the two of them were still wet a lot.Qin Mingzhu's hair was wet just now when she took care of the lotus and goldfish in her arms.

The rain dripped down the eaves of the black roof like big and small beads, and fell on the bluestone bricks with crackling patters. The sight was covered with mist, and the water surface of the canal continued to ripple.

Qin Mingzhu glanced at Yu, and then at Yan Jiayu who was beside her.

Yan Jiayu's hair and clothes were also wet, and water droplets dripped down her fair face, making her eyebrows and eyes dark.The half-wet clothes were tightly attached to his waist and abdomen, and the shape of his abdominal muscles could be vaguely seen.

The eaves for shelter from the rain are very narrow, and two people can only squeeze together.He was still holding Qin Mingzhu's hand, even though his palm and fingers were full of water.

As if sensing Qin Mingzhu's gaze, Yan Jiayu turned her eyes sideways.

The ink pearl turned slightly, and Qin Mingzhu's eyelashes were wet from the rain.

His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and then he slowly bent down.

The lotus covered Yan Jiayu's kissed lips.

Qin Mingzhu's hand holding the lotus was shaking.

He's 19, not 47, he's 19, not 47.

No, he is 47-year-old Qin Mingzhu.

The hand holding the lotus was suddenly grabbed, he raised his head in panic, and met Yan Jiayu with a somewhat annoyed face.

"Is the progress a little too fast? Sorry, I'm a little impatient."

"No, you're not in a hurry, it's me..." Qin Mingzhu paused.

What he interrupted was taken over by Yan Jiayu.

Seeing Yan Jiayu's earlobes turning red, he said softly, "Then Mingzhu, kiss me on the cheek?"

He turned his face to Qin Mingzhu.
