Qin Mingzhu couldn't help holding Yan Jiayu's hand. Yan Jiayu was staring at the direction Aunt Ye was leaving. After being held, she seemed to have just recovered.

"Brother Jiayu." He called the other party softly.

Yan Jiayu's expression was colder than before, he seldom showed such an expression, and when he met Qin Mingzhu's worried eyes, his expression eased a lot, and slowly returned to his previous appearance, "It's okay." After a second pause, he added in a low voice. He said, "I'm used to it."

got used to……

Thinking about it, a pair of parents who left their poor son thousands of miles away in Nancheng never saw their son a few times a year. They probably didn't care as much about their son as they did about their business or their students. .

Obviously his own son is by his side, but when he sees the student's phone call, he will put aside his son's business first and turn around to answer the student's phone call.What's even more frightening is that they clearly knew that their relationship with their son was abnormal.

Although Yan Jiayu said that he was used to it, Qin Mingzhu couldn't bear it, he really couldn't bear it.

So after dinner, he secretly went to see Aunt Ye alone, "Aunt Ye, shall I chat with you?"

Aunt Ye turned around and saw that it was him. Although she was a little surprised, she still nodded, "Okay."

They went to the back garden, Qin Mingzhu organized the words she had thought of, and said slowly, "Aunt Ye, there are some things that I shouldn't say as a junior, but I still want to ask you, do you and Uncle Yan really love each other?" Brother Yu?"

Auntie Ye's expression froze for a few seconds when she heard such words, and she unnaturally pulled back her sideburn hair, "Why do you ask such a question? Jiayu is our son, of course we love him."

"But I don't feel that you and Uncle Yan love him. Maybe you love brother Jiayu, but don't you feel that your mother's love has been transferred to your own students? Obviously brother Jiayu is your child, and he was The Zhenhui you are talking about is not, she is just your student, but you can abandon brother Jiayu just because of a phone call from a student."

Qin Mingzhu pursed her lower lip vigorously to control her tone not to be too excessive, "You and Uncle Yan were able to arrive in Nancheng half a month earlier, in fact, you also want to be nice to brother Jiayu, right? But why did you meet each other?" , but Uncle Yan only thinks about business, you only think about your students?"

Qin Mingzhu couldn't understand such a thing. In his family, everyone regarded family members as very important, such as his mother, Mrs. Su, his father, his grandfather, and his maternal grandmother.

Even the uncle who works in other places all the year round is obviously very busy at work, but just now he tried on the engagement dress, and he insisted on opening a video to see if he looks good in the dress, and asked the lobby brother to take some photos and send them over.

In his view, this is a normal family, a loving family.

Auntie Ye's face was turned pale by the repeated words, she didn't speak for a moment, and it took a long time before she said: "I...I want to be nice to Jiayu, but he..."

Qin Mingzhu recalled Yan Jiayu's expression just now, although she said she was used to it, but her eyes kept following Aunt Ye's figure until she disappeared from sight.

"Let me tell you a secret. Brother Jiayu has been waiting for you and Uncle Yan to pick him up when he was a child, but you never came. Even if you came, it was only for a few days during the holidays, and you went back to Beishi."

Qin Mingzhu didn't lie, he really saw Yan Jiayu and other Uncle Yan and Aunt Ye.He remembered Yan Jiayu's first birthday in Su Garden. Even though his grandfather and grandmother celebrated Yan Jiayu's birthday with him, he still felt that Yan Jiayu was not very happy.

Yan Jiayu always looked at the door, but there was nothing there.At noon, Su Yuan's phone rang.

After the grandmother answered the phone, the expression on her face changed slightly, and her voice to Yan Jiayu was softer than before, "Jiayu, it's your father calling."

Yan Jiayu went there in a wheelchair, picked up the landline, "Hello, father."

Qin Mingzhu didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but after hanging up the phone, Yan Jiayu didn't look at the door again.

Later he learned from his grandmother that Uncle Yan and the others had planned to come to Nancheng to accompany Yan Jiayu that day, but something happened and they didn't come.

Yan Jiayu also waited for her second birthday.

But there was still only a phone call. This time, Aunt Ye called.

Qin Mingzhu continued: "Why didn't you care about Brother Jiayu when he was a child, but waited for him to grow up before you thought about picking up the mother-child relationship? I know it's wrong to say such things as a junior, but I want to tell One thing for you, I will be Brother Jiayu's family in the future, you and Uncle Yan can rest assured, you take care of your students, Uncle Yan can also take care of his own business."

After finishing the call, Qin Mingzhu felt that he had no right to criticize Auntie Ye because he was not Yan Jiayu, but he felt sorry for Yan Jiayu.

He bowed to Aunt Ye as an apology, then turned and strode away.Before he had walked a few steps, he suddenly saw Yan Jiayu standing beside the eustoma not far away, and his footsteps stopped abruptly.

Yan Jiayu didn't know how long she stood there, her face was more clear and handsome against the backdrop of the eustoma in the night.He looked at Qin Mingzhu quietly, and then slowly walked over with a cane.

Qin Mingzhu froze her body, staring at Yan Jiayu who was walking over without moving.Aunt Ye, who was chasing after her, also saw Yan Jiayu, and called out "Jiayu" in a trembling voice.

But Yan Jiayu didn't look at Aunt Ye, he put his arms around Qin Mingzhu's shoulders, and said gently, "Why did you come out without a coat? Isn't it cold? Go back to your room." Then he turned his head to look at Aunt Ye behind him, with a calm tone, "Mother, Mingzhu and I are leaving first."

Auntie Ye had tears in her eyes, she wanted to explain something, "Jiayu, just now I... Zhenhui had an urgent matter to ask me about her thesis, so I answered the phone, I, I apologize to you, mom It won't be like this again—”

The conversation was interrupted.

Yan Jiayu said politely and distantly: "Mother doesn't need to apologize, I understand, I want to take Mingzhu back to the room now."

Auntie Ye froze. She stared at Yan Jiayu, who had grown tall without knowing when, and suddenly realized that she had lost her son a long time ago, perhaps more than ten years ago.

She nodded with tears in her eyes, seeing Yan Jiayu without any nostalgia, she left with Qin Mingzhu.

Qin Mingzhu didn't dare to look at Yan Jiayu's expression until she was taken to the room.His expression was very calm, he didn't seem to be angry, not only that, but he also went to the cloakroom and got a coat for Qin Mingzhu.

"Brother Jiayu, you heard everything just now, right?" Qin Mingzhu looked at Yan Jiayu who was helping her put on her coat.

Yan Jiayu's eyelashes drooped slightly, "I heard it."

"Are you angry? I said those things to Aunt Ye without your consent."

In fact, Qin Mingzhu was going to tell Uncle Yan, but he didn't find the time, Uncle Yan was always with his father.

When Yan Jiayu heard this, she gave him a strange look, "Why are you angry?"

Qin Mingzhu opened her mouth, "What I said just now was a bit harsh. Aunt Ye..."

"I only heard you say that you want to be my family member. I don't think this sentence is fierce." Yan Jiayu touched Qin Mingzhu's face, her eyes gradually became deep and sincere, "Thank you, Mingzhu."

Three seconds later, like he did when he was young, Qin Mingzhu turned his face and rubbed the opponent's palm, and immediately reached out to hug Yan Jiayu.

Just like what he told Aunt Ye, he was ready to be Yan Jiayu's family member.Even if Auntie Ye and Uncle Yan don't care about Yan Jiayu, it doesn't matter, at least he will be with Yan Jiayu for the rest of his life, and this time they will be able to live their entire lives.

—

On the day of the engagement wedding in Nancheng, the weather was excellent, the wind was light and the clouds were clear.

Although the Qin family has always been famous in Nancheng, they didn't want too many irrelevant people to appear at the engagement ceremony, so they only posted texts wishing the couple on the largest LED screen in the city, and didn't post any photos related to the wedding.There is no media at the scene, and the security system is so strict that even a stray cat cannot sneak into the scene.

Of course, in order to celebrate the engagement of Qin Mingzhu, the jewel in the palm of the Qin family, on the day of the engagement, all shopping malls under the Qin family's name will offer a 5% discount. It is said that there are too many people in the shopping malls that day.

And Qin Mingzhu, the protagonist of the engagement, got up early in the morning on the day of the engagement.The engagement ceremony was held at a seaside hotel, and the guests who came were all relatives and friends of Qin Yan's family, and no business people were invited.

Father Qin said that he didn't need to entertain Qin Mingzhu's engagement.

Qin Mingzhu had also been engaged in his previous life, so he still remembered a little bit.He was 35 years old that year, and Mrs. Su was gone. Because Sheng Yingqi was also from Nancheng, there was only one engagement ceremony.

Obviously checked the weather in advance, but the weather suddenly turned bad during the engagement ceremony that day, and the outdoor engagement ceremony hurriedly moved indoors.

The engagement dress on his body was also stained by a waiter accidentally with alcohol, so he had to go back to the dressing room to deal with it.Dan Ran was by his side at that time, and he seemed to say unintentionally: "Hey, God is not good for this engagement." Then he said, "Mingzhuer, are you sure it's him? Even if Brother Jiayu died ,you……"

His words were cut off by Qin Mingzhu's eyes.

Qin Mingzhu glanced at Dan Ran, then continued to lower her head and wipe her cuffs with a wet tissue, "Ying Qi is pretty good, you just don't know him well, he has his advantages."

Shan Ran looked at Qin Mingzhu from the mirror, and suddenly said: "I'm afraid you will be wronged."

Qin Mingzhu thought for a while, then shook her head lightly, "I am not wronged."

This time, Shan Ran was also invited to the engagement ceremony, and Shan Ran expressed his incomprehension about Qin Mingzhu's engagement.He kept saying to Qin Mingzhu: "How hard are you to think about it? You are only 19 years old and you are about to step into the grave of your wedding?"

"Dan Ran, I'm not married yet, I'm only engaged." Qin Mingzhu explained in a good-tempered manner.

"What's the difference between getting engaged and getting married? Are you going to break off your engagement with Brother Jiayu in the future?"

Qin Mingzhu didn't even think about it, "No."

Dan Ran rolled his eyes when he heard the words, "That's it, I really don't understand you guys, why did you get engaged so early and tie your life to another person. And Mingzhu, you don't want to worry too much about it." How many people do you want to talk to? You haven’t talked to a girl or a boy before, so how can you be sure it’s Brother Jiayu? Are you confusing family affection with love... Brother Jiayu!”

Shan Ran suddenly stood up straight, and retracted the hand that was resting on the back of Qin Mingzhu's chair.

Yan Jiayu nodded slightly to Shan Ran in response, then walked over and bent over to say something to Qin Mingzhu in a low voice, then turned and went out again.

Dan Ran, who witnessed this scene, endured it, but still couldn't resist the desire to gossip, "What did Brother Jiayu tell you just now?"

"He said that the outside affairs are not in a hurry, let me fill my stomach first." Qin Mingzhu said, picked up a small cake in front of him and took a bite.He got up too early this morning, he was a little hungry.

Shan Ran snorted, "Okay, I bless you all."

Qin Mingzhu picked up another piece of small cake, stuffed it into Shan Ran's hand, and said seriously: "Dan Ran, thank you for your blessing, and I also wish you to find someone you like to be with you for the rest of your life."

Dan Ran smiled at this and said nothing, he swallowed the cake in one gulp.

It was so beautiful like a dream that Qin Mingzhu was in a trance for a moment when she stood on the engagement stage.He looked around, there were his relatives and friends under the stage, his parents who loved him stood beside him, and his lover Yan Jiayu was on the other side.

Qin Mingzhu turned her head to look at the person next to her, Yan Jiayu seemed to notice his gaze, looked over quickly, and shook his hand with her hand, as if to comfort him.

He felt the residual temperature in his hands, and after turning around, he couldn't help digging into the palm of his hand with his fingernails. He felt the pain, so he smiled easily.

It's not a dream, he is really engaged to Yan Jiayu.

Late at night when the engagement ceremony ended, Qin Mingzhu was already exhausted.

It's just that when he was lying on the big bed, he could feel the presence of Yan Jiayu next to him without raising his hand or turning his head, and an unprecedented sense of peace slowly filled his heart.

He finally got engaged to Yan Jiayu, and his fatigue seemed to be washed away again.

Today they both drank, and they don't remember who made the suggestion. The two of them went back to the engagement hall downstairs of the hotel while they were drunk. Everything in the auditorium hadn't been dismantled yet.

Put the engagement ring back into the wedding ring box, walked in slowly from the door, under only a few small blue lights, they said vows, exchanged rings, and kissed.

When they were hugging each other, Qin Mingzhu hummed a short song, which was "The Moon is Full and Flowers Are Good" that he sang in his previous life, "...both of you are right, love each other..."

The eyes of the two met, and compared to the kiss in front of everyone, this kiss seemed to really belong to them.

The lips were stuck together, and the body trembled slightly.In the quiet late night, they were like mandarin ducks with sandalwood fans, neck-to-neck and intimate, and like a pair of mermaids, they returned to the deep sea.

Qin Mingzhu licked Yan Jiayu's lips very slowly.

His already bright face was even more colorful because of drunkenness, like pearls washed and placed on the softest velvet cushion, it was the melting moonlight, artificial lights, overlapping and falling on it.

"Brother Jiayu, did you hear that today? They all said that we are a perfect match, a match made by nature, a natural destiny." The movements were slow, and the tone of voice was also slow.Qin Mingzhu didn't notice his state at this time, he had stepped on the balance once, and now he stepped on it again.

One end is the greenness of the body, and the other end is the maturity of the soul.

The faint blue light fell on them, and there were only the two of them in the huge auditorium, and under their feet were fragrant roses, which covered the glass stage profusely.

Yan Jiayu lowered his head, he looked at Qin Mingzhu who was close at hand, seemed to hold the other person's face uncontrollably, and kissed, the kiss made Qin Mingzhu tremble, and the kiss made the person in his arms lift up his slender white neck, bowing his head. "Mingzhu, teach me how to dance."

At this time, Qin Mingzhu needed to hold Yan Jiayu's hand tightly to maintain the center of gravity of his body. Hearing these words, his already bright eyes almost became brighter.

"Okay." After saying yes two times in a row, he turned to look around, then turned back again, and suggested, "Let's go to the beach."

The beach at night is much quieter than during the day, only the sound of water splashing to the shore.Before taking a few steps, Qin Mingzhu took off her leather shoes, and encouraged Yan Jiayu to step on the sand with her bare feet, letting the fine sand kiss the soles of her feet.

He fetched the radio, put in a tape he liked very much, and stood in front of Yan Jiayu.With sincere and touching feelings on his extremely bright face, he stretched out his hand to Yan Jiayu, "Mr. Yan, can I ask you to dance?"

"Will you still love me

when I am no longer young and beautiful

Willyou still love me

when I got nothing but my aching soul

I know you will, I know you will

I know that you will..."

In all previous banquets, Qin Mingzhu had never danced with Yan Jiayu.In any banquet that Qin Mingzhu would attend, he was almost the protagonist. There were countless people who invited him to dance, and most of the time he would hide in disgust.

And Yan Jiayu is a bystander, he will always just quietly watch Qin Mingzhu in the dark, watching Mingzhu who was invited by others to dance one dance after another under the beautiful music.

He once gave up his wheelchair because of Qin Mingzhu, and ran towards Qin Mingzhu regardless.This time he tried to put down his cane in front of Qin Mingzhu, exposing the incompleteness to the other party, and dragged his legs awkwardly to dance this dance.

Will his pearl despise him?

Yan Jiayu looked at the half-drunk man who was bouncing like a cat in his arms, and felt that she already knew the answer.

The pas de deux under the clear moonlight was accompanied by the sound of the waves, and the eyes of the two gradually met.Maybe it was Yan Jiayu who started it first, maybe it was Qin Mingzhu, when the cool sea water rolled up to the calf, the two of them became more awake.

She also put on the wrong clothes, and this was the first time Qin Mingzhu saw Yan Jiayu's clumsy appearance, so she couldn't help laughing, and of course she also laughed at himself, because his pants were put on backwards.

Hearing the laughter, Yan Jiayu turned her head to stare at Qin Mingzhu, and within a few seconds she also laughed softly.They couldn't get dressed for a long time, so they simply gave up and went back after waking up. They lay side by side on the beach, looking at the stars like sugar.

When they were young, they also looked at the stars like this. On a summer night, Qin Mingzhu saw what the adults said about the Andromeda Nebula, so she got up secretly to find Yan Jiayu, and asked her to watch the stars with him.

He knelt and sat on the window sill, next to Yan Jiayu who was awakened by him and sat in the wheelchair again.After looking at it for a long time, I didn't see any Andromeda. Qin Mingzhu stretched out her hand and tugged at the hand of the person next to her, "Brother Jiayu, help me find out, where is the Andromeda they are talking about?"

Although Yan Jiayu didn't have to go to school, his studies didn't lighten. On the contrary, he was heavier than ordinary students. After studying day by day, he was already very sleepy, but he still cooperated with the search.

It's a pity that both of them didn't know the Andromeda Nebula, and finally watched the stars in the middle of the night, and then fell asleep hugging each other on the same bed sleepily.

Recalling the past, the corners of Qin Mingzhu's lips curled up, and then she slowly looked at the person next to her, only to find that Yan Jiayu had been staring at him at some point.

He pursed his lower lip a little shyly, and let his fiancé who approached exchange a sweet good night kiss with him.

After the two engagements in the north and south were over, Qin Mingzhu and Yan Jiayu flew to the small island for their engagement vacation. This time, they jointly completed the arrangement of the tower.

The first floor is full of flowers they love together; the second floor is the engagement gifts they gave each other according to their birthdays and ages. A photo from childhood to engagement; the fourth floor is their favorite food, favorites to play, and branded clothes they usually wear; the fifth floor is their new house.

Qin Mingzhu hung two small wind chimes on the window, which he made by himself, according to the appearance of him and Yan Jiayu.

He lay prone there like in his previous life, overlooking the entire island, from the green grass to the cliffs, and then to the boundless sea.

When I was young again, I was surrounded by my lost and found lover, even my nightmares were driven away, and I was never satisfied.

Even though his age is passing, there are always people who love him as before, forever.

Qin Mingzhu said to the wind: "I love you, Brother Jiayu."

The wind also wrapped up a gentle answer, "I love you too, my pearl."
