Fragrance season

Coming out of the bridal shop, the busy traffic and noisy crowd outside brought Xiangqin, who was immersed in a sweet dream, back to reality.

Dreams... always have to wake up, no matter how beautiful it is, it is impossible to become a reality.

"Naoshu, thank you." Xiangqin raised her head and gave Zhishu a bright smile.

"Stupid, what's the matter with you?" Why is she so different from just now?

"Thank you for helping me realize a dream." How could she be willing to wake up from such a beautiful dream, she just hoped that time would stop moving forward and stay at this moment forever.

"What are you thinking about? Let's go back first." Is she still so insecure?

"I want to go to the store. I'm sorry to bother Xiaolin like this these days." After all, sister Xiaoying entrusted the store to her, not Xiaolin.

"Alright, let's go."

"Ah."

Fragrance season

"Sister Xiangqin, you are back. Uh... Brother Naoki, hello."

"Hi." Naoki nodded politely.

"Xiao Lin, you should go home early today. I'm really sorry that you've been left alone to look after the store these days."

"Sister Xiangqin, what are you talking about? This is my job. Of course I have to work when I get paid. But now you want to give me a vacation, and I am very happy to accept it." Xiaolin glanced at Glancing at Naoki, he went in to pack his things.

"Sister Xiangqin, I'm leaving first, so I won't disturb the world of the two of you." She leaned over and whispered something in Xiangqin's ear, and went out.

"Uh...Xiaolin...really." She always liked to joke about herself.

"Xiaolin has a good relationship with you."

"Well. She came here two years ago. After graduating from high school, because the family environment was not very good, she didn't go to university, so she came out to work."

"Actually, she's very smart and sensible. That's why sister Xiaoying left her to help me. Without her and Jiawen, I wouldn't be able to do it alone."

"What kind of person are you talking about, Miss Xiaoying?" Naoki sat down and listened to her tell stories that he hadn't known in the past five years.

"Five years ago..." Xiangqin's eyes fell on the bunch of carnations in front of him, and his thoughts went back to five years ago.

"Little girl, why are you here alone in the rain, didn't you bring an umbrella?" When Lu Xiaoying noticed the umbrella blown away by the wind not far away, she seemed to understand something.

"Come in quickly, you'll get sick if you get caught in the rain." She pulled Xiangqin with a dull expression into the room.

"What's the matter with you? Do you want to change this suit first, I still have a spare set of clothes in the store, or you can make do with it first."

Xiangqin still didn't respond.

Xiaoying was about to step forward to pull her, but Xiangqin fell down limply.

"Little girl, are you okay?" Xiaoying panicked, she touched Xiangqin's forehead, her hand was burning.

"No, you have to get her fever down quickly."

She helped Xiangqin to lie down on her temporary bed in the inner room, and began to look for medicine.

The head hurts, the throat hurts, these pains seem to temporarily cover the pain in the bottom of my heart, and Xiangqin finally wakes up faintly.

There was a loving face looking at her with concern...

"Auntie?" It seems to be an aunt, but it doesn't look like... She looks much younger than her aunt.

"You're awake. It's good to wake up. Fortunately, the fever has subsided, otherwise I really need to be sent to the hospital."

"You are……"

"You don't remember me, you were standing in front of my shop last night, and then you fainted with a fever..."

Xiangqin shook her head, she seemed to be a little vague about what happened last night, and couldn't remember clearly.

"It must have been a fever for too long, plus I haven't eaten, and my mind is not sober."

"It's okay, I'll be fine later. My name is Lu Xiaoying. Don't call me so old as aunt, just call me sister."

"Oh, thank you, Miss Xiaoying."

"You're welcome, it's fate that we got to know each other." Xiangqin looked somewhat similar to her dead daughter, which made her even more affectionate.

"Drink some porridge before taking medicine. It's not good to have an empty stomach for a long time."

"Well, thank you."

"Don't always be so polite." This girl is really cute and cute.Something must have happened to her, so she was out in the rain in the middle of the night and didn't come home.

"Eat and sleep well, and you'll be fine." Xiaoying showed a warm smile.

"How is it? Much better."

"En." Xiangqin nodded.

"Won't your family worry about you being outside alone? Shall I give them a call?" Seeing that she seemed to be in a brighter mood, Xiaoying finally asked the question in her heart.

The expression on Xiangqin's face suddenly changed, and he lowered his head.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll go out and see if the soup is ready?" The sadness on Xiangqin's face made her feel a little distressed, and she couldn't bear to ask any more.

Half a month later

"Sister Xiaoying, can I work in your shop?" Seeing that Xiaoying didn't speak, Xiangqin hurriedly continued.

"I know I'm really stupid, but I will study hard, I will work hard, and I will try my best not to let you down."

"Silly girl, why are you in such a hurry? I didn't say I wouldn't let you go. I think you're not in good health. You can wait until you're healthy. Besides, aren't you still in college? Don't you Miss it?"

"University?" Xiangqin suddenly revealed a wry smile.

"Without Naoki, I wouldn't have been able to go to college at all, and even if I went back to school, I wouldn't be able to graduate with my current grades."

"Naoki?" Xiaoying heard the point of the words.

"Zao Shu is a super genius, I don't know why I fell in love with him, but God just made such a joke on me, so that I can't escape him..." Xiangqin suddenly covered her face and burst into tears .

"It's okay, silly boy..." Xiaoying hugged her and comforted her softly.

"Crying will make you feel better. If you want to cry, just cry."

Sister Xiaoying's arms are so warm, like a mother...

After a long time, when Xiangqin's crying gradually subsided, Xiaoying said softly:

"Xiangqin, there are no difficulties in life. You are still young, and in the future you will find that many things in the world cannot develop in the direction you expect."

"There is happiness, there is pain, there is hope, there is disappointment, this is life."

"Is it true?" Xiangqin raised her teary eyes.

"Well. My husband works outside all the year round. I used to have a lively and lovely daughter, but when she was five years old, she passed away because of a car accident..." Xiaoying stared at the front, as if there were no more tears, but Xiangqin could still read the sadness in her eyes.

"Miss Xiaoying..."

"It's okay... If Yingying is alive, she should be 17 years old this year."

"Yingying?"

"Yes, my daughter has the same last name as mine. I didn't expect this to hurt her. Maybe I really shouldn't give her the same name as mine."

"Since it was an accident, why is it none of your business?"

"The past is in the past, and she will not come back no matter who is responsible."

"Miss Xiaoying, I'm sorry."

"Silly boy, why do you keep saying sorry?"

"I just don't want to face him again, I'm afraid to see him, seeing him with other girls, I really can't stand it."

"It's okay, let's stop thinking about the past, let time wash the wound, okay?" Xiaoying took Xiangqin into her arms.

"En." Xiangqin nodded.
