I love the bird outside the window, and it accumulates more and more in the boring days after day.In Yan Jiayu's life, there was only work and Qin Mingzhu left very early on. If Qin Mingzhu didn't come, only work would be left.

He stood in his own position wisely, never crossing the threshold, the most daring thing he ever did was to confess his love to Qin Mingzhu.

The opportunity to confess is actually a very small matter, and Qin Mingzhu himself may not even remember it.

That was when Qin Mingzhu was just in college, and when he went back to Suyuan on weekends to get something to eat in the kitchen, his mobile phone was placed on the table.

Yan Jiayu was sitting beside her, when she suddenly heard the bell ringing.He subconsciously looked for the sound, and found that it was Qin Mingzhu's cell phone that rang, and the words that jumped on the screen of the cell phone were——

"husband".

At that moment, he clenched his hand so tightly that his fingertips turned red, and he restrained himself from answering the phone call without permission. When Qin Mingzhu came back, he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Mingzhu, someone called just now." for you."

"Huh? Who?"

Qin Mingzhu put the frozen chocolate on the table, dug a mouthful with a silver spoon and stuffed it into her mouth while looking at her mobile phone.

He didn't know that Yan Jiayu's eyes had almost seen through the phone.He saw the caller ID, with an expression of anger and laughter on his face, dialed it back, waited for the connection there, and said directly: "When did you change the notes on my phone?"

There was a young boy's voice on the other end of the phone. Yan Jiayu couldn't hear what the other party was saying, but she could see that Qin Mingzhu had a good relationship with that person. After chatting for a few words, Qin Mingzhu's previous expression eased, and she even discussed going tomorrow. where to play.

While chatting, Qin Mingzhu's gaze suddenly shifted to Yan Jiayu. He caught Yan Jiayu's eyes that hadn't looked back, but he didn't notice anything unusual, and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Wait, I can't play with you tomorrow , I remembered I had something to—"

He pressed the phone against his chest, and lowered his voice, "Brother Jiayu, is the art exhibition you mentioned last time tomorrow?"

Actually it was the day after tomorrow, but Yan Jiayu lied.

After getting the lie, Qin Mingzhu didn't suspect it. After rejecting the young boy's invitation, she threw the phone back on the table and continued to eat chocolate.

Yan Jiayu watched this scene, waited for a few minutes, but still couldn't hold back, "Is it a classmate?"

"En." Qin Mingzhu turned her head and nodded her chin at him.

Yan Jiayu looked away with a calm expression, poured a cup of tea, and said casually, "Didn't you say that he changed the notes on your phone? Why don't you change it back now, in case grandma is caught When they see it, they will misunderstand that you are talking about friends outside."

When Qin Mingzhu heard this, she quickly changed the remark back to the normal name, and even checked all the contact names under Yan Jiayu's reminder.

Yan Jiayu saw her note on Qin Mingzhu's phone - "Brother Jiayu".

That night, he suffered from insomnia because he realized his possessive desire for Qin Mingzhu.

Even if that address was a joke, he didn't want Qin Mingzhu to call others like that.

But his legs...

Yan Jiayu looked down at her leg, only he knew how many operations and rehabilitation he had done, and even today, he still goes to the hospital regularly.Even so, he won't act like a normal person.

To confess to Qin Mingzhu so selfishly, okay?

But I still want to give it a try, he is no longer the 11-year-old Yan Jiayu, he is now capable of protecting Qin Mingzhu, he can give Qin Mingzhu happiness.

Try to confess it once.

Even if you are rejected, just... Just continue to play the role of brother, and put away the greed that shouldn't be there.

With this in mind, he boarded the cruise ship.

Yan Jiayu pressed Qin Mingzhu into his arms, regretting her wavering just now.It's really stupid for him to start thinking about things because of other people's words.

On the other side, when Qin Mingzhu heard the nickname "Baby", no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't stop turning red.

Even if Yan Jiayu accepts his age, even if he himself is trying to face aging, but no matter what, his actual age is still in his forties, and suddenly being called a baby by Yan Jiayu in his early 20s is a kind of embarrassing sweetness.

The night is getting thicker and the sunrise is too early.Yan Jiayu was afraid that Qin Mingzhu would be cold, so she found a leeway to protect Qin Mingzhu in her arms.

Half of Qin Mingzhu's face was hidden in Yan Jiayu's coat, only revealing a pair of bright eyes.He smelled the fragrance of the other person, the same style of beard water fragrance as his, and the woody and fruity fragrance of men's eau de toilette.

Yan Jiayu seems to be in love with many things, such as this perfume.As soon as he smelled this fragrance, he thought of Yan Jiayu on a conditioned reflex.

He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, the production line of this perfume was going to be discontinued due to poor sales, but Yan Jiayu bought it.

Digging further into the memory, Qin Mingzhu suddenly sat up straighter, "Brother Jiayu, is this perfume on you the one I gave you?"

In the year of Yan Jiayu's coming-of-age ceremony, it seemed that there was perfume in the gift he gave, and he picked it out when he was shopping with Mrs. Su. Besides the perfume, he also picked out a leather belt.

The person being questioned pulled him into his arms again, as if the wind had chilled him, and hummed in a gentle tone.

Qin Mingzhu closed her eyes, not knowing what to say, but hugged Yan Jiayu even tighter.He remembered that Yan Jiayu used his perfume the next day, and he boasted that it smelled good, but he didn't expect the other party to use it all the time.

At three or four o'clock in the morning, Qin Mingzhu couldn't bear it anymore, and he fell asleep unconsciously.When he woke up again, he was woken up by gently pinching his face.

"Mingzhu, it's time to wake up, the sun will rise." Beside his ear was a familiar gentle male voice.

He realized something and struggled to open his eyes.

The sky is a long strip of magenta, and the mist under the blue sky is like a sea of ​​clouds.The clouds receded little by little, the sun gradually climbed up, the darkness was completely dispelled, and the brilliant sunlight made Qin Mingzhu close his eyes uncontrollably, but he quickly opened them again, and turned around to kiss Yan Jiayu.

They kissed under the sunrise and made a wish for a lifetime of companionship.

There was no motorbike on the way back, so Yan Jiayu contacted someone while Qin Mingzhu was sleeping.Watching the sunrise, they got into the car that came to pick them up.

Because it was still early, returning to Qin's house at this point was afraid of disturbing others, so they returned to Yan Jiayu's house.

Qin Mingzhu asked Yan Jiayu to take a bath first, and then went to the kitchen to make breakfast by herself.

"Don't you need me to help you?" Yan Jiayu asked before entering the bathroom.

"No, I can do it by myself." Qin Mingzhu put on an apron for herself, he had never cooked a meal for Yan Jiayu, it turned out that Yan Jiayu cooked for him.

Sheng Yingqi had a picky mouth, and he also liked to study cooking later on. To Qin Mingzhu now, making a breakfast is like cooking a small dish.

After a long night, it is better to have a light meal in the morning. He is going to cook a pot of fresh shrimp porridge, cheese omelette, steamed corn, and milk.

As soon as the batter was mixed, Qin Mingzhu felt eyes from the side, and turned her head to see that it was Yan Jiayu standing at the kitchen door.He ran to the kitchen without even blowing his hair, and he didn't know how long he looked at it.

Seeing this, Qin Mingzhu put down the things in her hands, walked over, and touched the water dripping from Yan Jiayu's hair, "Mr. Yan, is he preparing to catch a cold? You don't even blow your hair in autumn."

His hand was held, and Yan Jiayu wiped off the water droplets in his hand, "I'll make pancakes later, your hand...isn't it that you are still making works recently, if you get hurt by the hot oil, you can't make the work gone."

Qin Mingzhu's voice fell silent for a moment, Yan Jiayu was always like this, he took everything about him very important, even if he was making breakfast, he was afraid of getting hurt.

He restrained his emotions, "It's okay, you won't hurt your hands, you go and dry your hair first, and come and help me boil the milk later, I can take a bath."

After all, he finally drove the worried Yan Jiayu out of the kitchen.

When Qin Mingzhu was pouring oil into the hot pan, he couldn't help thinking of the time when he was learning how to cook. He was always splashed with oil, and the most serious one made a bubble.

At that time, Sheng Yingqi drove him to the hospital very nervously, almost ran a red light, and invited the best burn doctor, cosmetic doctor, and dermatologist in the whole southern city to help him see this small blister.

Thinking about it now, Sheng Yingqi was so panicked at that time, he just didn't want him to have a scar, not because he was hurt by the hot oil.

This was Qin Mingzhu's first time making breakfast for Yan Jiayu. He tried the taste in the kitchen first, but he was still a little worried. After Yan Jiayu took a bite, he asked, "How does it taste?"

Yan Jiayu's warm eyes fell on him, "It's delicious."

After receiving such an evaluation, Qin Mingzhu couldn't help but feel happy, especially when she found out that Yan Jiayu was not coaxing him, but really thought it was delicious.

Yan Jiayu liked the cheese omelette very much, and when she finished eating, she asked him with reddened ears if there was any more.

"I'll make it for you next time. It's gone today. I don't have enough materials." After Qin Mingzhu finished speaking, he looked at the time. It was past nine o'clock in the morning, and he remembered that Yan Jiayu had to go to work in the afternoon, so he dragged someone to the room.

The bowls and chopsticks are placed there, and there will be hourly workers to clean them.

It's not the first time to sleep with Yan Jiayu, but this time it feels more at ease.It didn't take long for him to fall asleep in Yan Jiayu's arms, and he slept until the afternoon.

When I woke up, the room was still dark and the curtains were closed.

Yan Jiayu was no longer in the room, and she didn't know when she woke up.Qin Mingzhu turned over, buried herself in the soft quilt, and stayed on the bed for a while before getting up.

He was wearing the pajamas that Yan Jiayu bought for him, even his underwear.Last time he stayed here, after he had no clothes to wear, Yan Jiayu bought a closet of clothes, ranging from socks to winter cotton clothes.

There was a glass of water on the bedside table, it was Yan Jiayu who poured it for him.Qin Mingzhu picked up the cup and walked out while drinking, and soon found that Yan Jiayu was at home.

Yan Jiayu was wearing the same style of pajamas as he was wearing, standing in front of the fish tank, rebuilding the landscape in the water.

The two kissing fish bought in the ancient town are now raised by Yan Jiayu.

Qin Mingzhu's residence is uncertain, sometimes he lives in the school house, sometimes in the Qin residence, and sometimes he goes back to Su Garden to accompany his grandmother, so Yan Jiayu brought the fish over.

Qin Mingzhu watched Yan Jiayu patiently make a rockery and a house for Yu, walked over slowly, and put her chin on the other's shoulder.

It can be seen that the two milky white kissing fish have been well-raised, with sparkling pearls, and they are a circle larger than when they were bought. They are swimming leisurely in the water at this time.

"Are you full of sleep?" The young man whose shoulders were pressed by him turned his head slightly.

Qin Mingzhu hummed, "Didn't go to the company this afternoon?"

"Well, my father is in the company, so I took a leave of absence. If you are full of sleep, get ready to change your clothes. The engagement dress has arrived." Yan Jiayu took a clean towel and wiped off the wet water on her hands.

When they arrived at the Qin residence, the Qin family and Yan Jiayu's parents were there. They seemed to have discussed it before, and they didn't mention where Qin Mingzhu and Yan Jiayu went last night. They only asked Qin Mingzhu and Yan Jiayu to quickly change into their engagement clothes. .

The Qin family attached great importance to Qin Mingzhu's engagement wedding. The engagement dress was hired by an international cutting-edge wedding dress designer, and it took several months to make two suits.

Qin Mingzhu changed his clothes first, and came out of the changing room. Seeing Yan Jiayu buttoning his cuff buttons, she stepped forward, took the tie next to her, and helped him put it on.

When wearing it, the fingers inevitably touched Yan Jiayu's neck skin, and when the fingertips touched, the Adam's apple rolled.

Qin Mingzhu pretended not to notice. After putting on the bow tie, she took a step back and looked carefully at the bow tie she was wearing. The corners of her lips twitched. Looking at Yan Jiayu's face, she couldn't help being in a trance for a moment.

It was his great regret that he was not engaged to Yan Jiayu in his previous life, but he has made up for it in this life.Sheng Yingqi couldn't make any waves, and he also told Yan Jiayu his biggest secret, and there would be no obstacles between them in this life.

After putting on the tie, Yan Jiayu lowered her head to help him put on the cuff buttons.

Their cufflinks are a pair of gemstone cufflinks of the same color, with patterns exclusive to them on the inside. His pair is a small goldfish, and Yan Jiayu's is a pearl, which has something to do with their names, and the goldfish spit The bubbles look like pearls in the water.

After they were all put on, the two of them looked at the full-length mirror at the same time.

Qin Mingzhu remembered when he was nine years old, when they were still very young, he never thought that one day he would be engaged to the person next to him.Thinking back carefully, the beginning of the story may have something to do with the sandalwood fan.

The first time he saw Yan Jiayu, he gave her a sandalwood fan with mandarin duck patterns.

Afterwards, my grandmother told him about him, saying that he shouldn't give someone a fan when they met for the first time, but the mandarin duck fan.

But he has his own reasons, "I like that brother, of course I want to give him my favorite things."

The grandmother laughed, and nodded his nose, "I just met him once, and I said I like you? He didn't say a few words to you today, what if he doesn't like you?"

Xiao Qin Mingzhu nestled beside her grandmother, holding a washed peach in his hand, he took a bite and said vaguely: "No, everyone likes me."

At that time, he didn't know that fans were used as love objects in ancient times, and he didn't know that fans also have the meaning of courtship today, fans, fans.

But he and Yan Jiayu couldn't have children.

Thinking of this, Qin Mingzhu turned her face away, "Brother Jiayu, do you still have the fan I gave you when I was young?"

"exist."

"I want to take it out at the wedding ceremony and put it on the booth, what do you think?"

Yan Jiayu was still staring at the floor-to-ceiling mirror, as if she wanted to firmly imprint them in the mirror in her eyelids.As for Qin Mingzhu's thoughts, he immediately agreed, and after a while, he took the initiative to mention something, "Mingzhu, do you have plans to go out to play after the engagement ceremony is over?"

going out to play?

where to go?

Qin Mingzhu suddenly thought of the island that Yan Jiayu had given him.

On that island, he spent his happiest 22nd birthday.At that time, there were only the two of them on the island, and he could see Yan Jiayu every day when he opened his eyes, and sometimes if he woke up earlier than Yan Jiayu, he would deliberately sweep Yan Jiayu's face with the goose feather from the quill pen.

After waking him up, he laughed and jumped off the bed and fled.

Sometimes if the speed of escape is too slow, they will be bound by arms like iron pincers.Yan Jiayu, who was woken up early in the morning, seemed to have not yet put on the gentle and elegant coat, and would kiss him very hard, and even grabbed his ankle and stroked it.

He spent a carefree life there, and in his heart, that was the place where he and Yan Jiayu had their first encounter.And it was also there that Yan Jiayu revealed her thoughts to him for the first time.

"Yes." Qin Mingzhu reported the name of the island, "Is it under your name now?"

Yan Jiayu frowned and thought for a moment, "It should be, I remember that there is an island under my name, but I don't really remember the name. Where did we go in the previous life?"

He was so clever that he guessed something at once,

"You celebrated my 22nd birthday there." Speaking of this, Qin Mingzhu leaned closer to Yan Jiayu's ear.His eyes turned slightly, and all the warm breath he exhaled fell on the earlobe of the other party, "It's also there, we..."

He spoke the next few words very softly, and after finishing speaking, he stood up straight, as if he hadn't said anything, he lowered his head and straightened his sleeves.

There seemed to be helpless low laughter from the people around him above his head, and at the same time, Mrs. Su's urging voice came from outside.

"Mingzhu, Jiayu, haven't you changed yet?"

Putting the joke aside for now, Qin Mingzhu responded, and after arranging each other's clothes with Yan Jiayu, they walked out of the room.

As soon as he left the room, he saw Mrs. Su's eyes were red, almost instantly.She raised her hand to cover her lips, and inhaled repeatedly with some gaffes.

"Mom." Qin Mingzhu couldn't help calling Mrs. Su.

He rarely saw Mrs. Su with red eyes, even when she was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer.At that time, he was even more devastated than Mrs. Su, saying that this must be a misdiagnosis, and he wanted to take Mrs. Su abroad for another check.

Mrs. Su was very calm, and held his hand, "I have already checked it abroad, and the result is the same. I didn't want to tell you before, but I didn't want to see you cry. Well, how old are you, and you are still crying in front of your mother. Your father is going to laugh at you."

"Mom, I..."

"Mingzhu, don't cry. Mom has something to tell you. After your grandmother and grandfather have left, I am most worried about you and your father. When I leave, your father will only have you. You promise mother , can you stay with Dad well? Don’t be too sad, just think about Mom once in a while, because Dad is sad too, so you have to be strong in front of Dad.”

Qin Mingzhu's eyes were inherited from Mrs. Su's, and they were extraordinarily beautiful. When she cried, tears fell one by one, like pearls rolling down.

Mrs. Su endured the pain and smiled softly at her son, "Mom is fine, don't be sad."

Mrs. Su's eyes were even redder after Qin Mingzhu called her mother, and she could not hold back her tears.She turned her head and buried her face in her husband's shoulder. Qin's father embraced his wife's shoulder and comforted him: "Your son is dressed so handsomely today, why are you so sad?"

The engagement clothes of Qin Mingzhu and Yan Jiayu are pure white suits, like snow and cream, and the Windsor knot is elegant and elegant but not too exaggerated. The tailor-made engagement clothes fit the body perfectly. No one will think that they are unworthy of the straight and slender trousers.

Mrs. Su wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and lightly slapped Father Qin's arm with anger and anger, "Where is it sad? I'm happy, happy that the pearl has grown so big in the blink of an eye."

Auntie Ye, Yan Jiayu's mother, also had red eyes quietly. She stared at Yan Jiayu reluctantly, looked at Yan Jiayu repeatedly, and called Yan Jiayu softly.

"Jiayu, come here and let me take a good look."

But at this moment, Aunt Ye's cell phone rang suddenly.

She looked down to see the caller ID, a moment of hesitation flashed across her face, and finally she said to Yan Jiayu: "Jiayu, I'm in a hurry, go and answer the phone first."

After finishing speaking, she quickly picked up the phone and walked towards the terrace.Yan Jiayu retracted her raised foot.

Qin Mingzhu's ear tipped, and she heard her name called.

"Zhenhui..."

Zhenhui was Aunt Ye's student's name, and yesterday he heard Aunt Ye keep praising Zhenhui.
