Mr. Yan, Madam Bai Yueguang has also returned to China.

"real or fake?"

"Why am I lying to you? My aunt often plays mahjong with Mrs. Pang. The news she heard is correct. If Yu Zeqiu didn't have a few days to live, how could the Pang family be willing to give up this marriage?"

"A wealthy family like the Yan family wants to cheat on marriages? It's really unexpected!"

"So, Zhao Muyuan, the son-in-law of the banquet family, may not be that easy to be..."

The two people walked away while talking.

Zhao Muyuan looked a little stiff. He looked at Yan Jiayi cautiously and held her shoulders. "Jiayi, don't listen to their nonsense. Those are just hearsay and cannot be taken seriously."

Yan Jiayi came back to her senses. Her face was a little pale. She looked at Zhao Muyuan, but her eyes seemed unfocused, and tears fell drop by drop.

Zhao Muyuan hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "Jiayi, stop crying. This is definitely not the case. Don't think too much."

There were more and more tears.

Yan Jiayi's vision was a little blurry. She grabbed Zhao Muyuan's hand and said, "Zhao Muyuan, can you pinch me?"

Zhao Muyuan looked at her distressedly, "Jiayi..."

Yan Jiayi's voice was hoarse, "You tell me, this is just a dream, right? Or I drank too much and had a hallucination."

But she didn't drink much at all. How could her brother not survive for a few months? Obviously he even sent her to the airport, but he also smiled and told her to take care of herself.

Why are things like this?

"Jiayi, calm down first."

……

At the end of November, the first snow fell in the imperial capital. Yu Wei carried the newly purchased ingredients to Yu Zeqiu's apartment and helped him fill the refrigerator.

Yu Zeqiu came out of the study, "Mom, it's snowing so heavily, why did you come here?"

"It's rare to have a rest today, so I came to see you." Yu Wei looked at him with a smile, "How have you been feeling these past few days?"

"The new medicine is much better than before." Yu Zeqiu coughed a few times.

"That's good." Yu Wei gave him a bag of chocolates, "your favorite before."

Yu Zeqiu took it with a smile, "It seems like I haven't eaten it in a long time."

"Although this chocolate is not sweet, you can only eat a little at a time, you know?" Yu Wei glanced at his hair, "Is your hair longer?"

"I'll go fix it in two days."

"This weekend, Chenchen Xixi is on vacation. Your dad and I want to take them skiing. Do you want to come with us?"

Yu Zeqiu sat on the sofa nearby, "I only asked for a week's leave from the company."

Yu Wei glanced at him and said, "Xiaoqiu, if you really feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself..."

"Mom, I know."

Mother and son had lunch together before Yu Wei left.

The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, with no intention of stopping. Yu Zeqiu sat on the balcony of the bedroom and watched the world outside covered in silvery white.

He recalled that many years ago, he was walking on the village road carrying a pile of waste on his back. Cold and hunger filled his young world.

Even his biological mother could abandon him. Who in this world would not abandon him?

No one knew how he felt when he saw them appearing on the road.

Sad, with a faint expectation, and a little complaint.

In fact, if time had stopped at that time, maybe he wouldn't even live to be ten years old, and there would be no need to bring so much pain to others.

He looked through the photos in his hand, most of which were photos of him and Nuan Nuan. In every photo, the smile on her face was so bright.

Growing up, I took so many photos without realizing it. It turned out that they had spent so many years together.

I don't know if she is living well abroad. She should be getting better and better. He stretched out his hand and rubbed her face carefully. Perhaps, he should hide his feelings a little deeper, a little deeper.

There were footsteps behind him.

Yu Zeqiu wanted to turn around, but someone hugged him gently from behind, bringing a hint of chill, mixed with a familiar fragrance.

Yu Zeqiu's body became a little stiff, and the photo in his hand slowly fell to the ground.

Yan Jiayi looked at the photos, hugged him tight little by little, and complained: "You didn't even look at the people when they were here. When they left, what were you looking at with the photos?"

For a moment, Yu Zeqiu thought this was her dream, but she hugged her too tightly, "Nuan Nuan, why are you here?"

Yan Jiayi tried hard not to let her tears fall. She slowly let go of Yu Zeqiu, leaned over and picked up the photos on the ground one by one and put them aside.

Then he looked at him calmly and said, "I went back to China temporarily to do some things, so I stopped by to see you."

Yu Zeqiu stood up, holding on to the armrest, and smiled at her, "I have nothing to do, but you, why didn't you say hello in advance when you returned home?"

Yan Jiayi looked at the smile on his face, "I'm afraid I'll scare you by saying hello in advance, and who knows where you will run and hide? Anyway, you have been the best at hiding from me in these years."

Yu Zeqiu's eyes paused, "Nuan Nuan..."

Yan Jiayi took a deep breath, "I'm hungry."

Yu Zeqiu asked her softly: "What do you want to eat?"

Yan Jiayi looked at him, "Whatever."

Seeing that her hair was a little damp, Yu Zeqiu's eyes darkened a little, "Did you come directly from the airport?"

Yan Jiayi nodded, and Yu Zeqiu calmed down for a while, then gave her a towel, "Wipe your hair first, and I'll cook something for you."

Yan Jiayi didn't answer.

Yu Zeqiu walked out of the bedroom, went directly to the kitchen, picked out a few ingredients, and made a few simple dishes.

The aroma of food floated in the apartment. Yan Jiayi had taken a shower, changed her clothes, and appeared at the door of the kitchen. Yu Zeqiu looked up and saw her, and was stunned for a moment.

Yan Jiayi walked to the dining table and sat down. There was a faint fragrance coming from her body. Because she used the things he used for shampooing and bathing, the smell was very familiar.

Her sudden return made Yu Zeqiu feel a little unsure. He smiled and asked, "Do your parents know that you are coming back?"

Yan Jiayi shook her head, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and ate happily. She hadn't had a good meal in several days, so she was really hungry.

Seeing that she had a good appetite, Yu Zeqiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After dinner, I will take you back."

Yan Jiayi paused for a moment, looked at Yu Zeqiu, and asked calmly, "When will you and Pang Miao get married?"

Yu Zeqiu's eyes paused and he said with a smile: "She is studying for graduate school, and she may have to wait until she graduates."

Yan Jiayi clenched her chopsticks and said, "The engagement has been terminated, do you still want to hold a wedding?"

The air seemed to freeze instantly.

Yu Zeqiu thought of her behavior just now and explained patiently, "Nuan Nuan, the things between her and I are a bit complicated. It can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Even if we cancel the engagement now, in the future..."

"Yu Zeqiu, are you so afraid that I will pester you endlessly?" Yan Jiayi interrupted him, with sadness in her eyes, "How many more lies are you going to make up to deceive me?"
