More than a month has passed, and in a blink of an eye it is the Ching Ming holiday.

It is a season full of spring, suitable for going out with friends or lovers and breathing the freshest air throughout the year.

It's a pity that the traffic police generally cannot rest on holidays.Zhao Siqi had to work the evening shift for three consecutive days, so she could only squeeze out some time during the day to walk around the neighborhood of Gao Chi's home.

Gao Chi remembered very well that Zhao Siqi didn't like to go to crowded places.

During the short date during the day, he did not choose a big shopping mall, a movie theater, or an Internet celebrity restaurant where many people lined up, but went to a park not far from their home.

It was an open central park, the government spent a huge amount of money to repair it, and the landscape was particularly beautiful.

In addition to the basic flowers and trees, there is also an artificial lake in the park. The surface of the lake is like a layer of silver fish scales, reflecting pure sunlight, and finally forming a unique color between gold and silver.

Gao Chi and Zhao Siqi were walking by the lake. Halfway there, they saw a woman sketching.

On the drawing paper, there are sparkling lakes, floating white clouds, magpies, willows, wild flowers, and a bride wearing a white veil.

Zhao Siqi followed the woman's line of sight, and there was a couple of newlyweds taking wedding photos on the green grass.The bride and groom laughed heartily, looked at each other affectionately, and kissed sweetly.The surrounding air seemed to be filled with pink bubbles, and popping any of them would be sweet.

Zhao Siqi watched for nearly a minute.

Gao Chi took a picture on the other side, turned his head after taking the picture, and saw Zhao Siqi's eyes fixed on it.

"What are you looking at?" Gao Chi walked to him and looked forward, just in time to witness the moment when the bride's veil fell off.

The snow-white ball of white gauze was blown high by the wind, and it floated all the way in their direction, neither crooked nor slanted, and just landed at Zhao Siqi's feet, and was picked up by Zhao Siqi.

The bride trotted over with her skirt in hand, and smiled politely at Zhao Siqi: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome." Zhao Siqi returned the veil to her and added, "I wish you a happy wedding."

The bride laughed again. She waved to Zhao Siqi and Gao Chi, then turned and ran back.

The long snow-white dress that dragged the ground brushed the grass, swaying from side to side, like a nimble white fish swimming extremely fast, and quickly returned to her groom's side.

The wind in the park was strong, and two or three leaves fell on Zhao Siqi's shoulders. Gao Chi raised his hand and swept it off for him.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Zhao Siqi was still looking at the back of the couple in a daze, so Gao Chi couldn't help asking: "You want to get married too?"

Zhao Siqi was startled, and immediately denied: "No."

Gao Chi looked at him with a half-smile, but didn't speak.

After a few seconds, Zhao Siqi abruptly changed the subject: "Are you thirsty? There's a grandfather selling coconuts in front of me. I'll go buy two and come back, okay?"

Gao Chi smiled and said, "Okay."

Five minutes later, Zhao Siqi came back holding two green coconuts.He handed one of them to Gao Chi, and the two sat together in the shade of a tree, drinking coconut water while enjoying the cool.

Gao Chi held the coconut in one hand, and flexibly swiped the phone screen with the other. He asked, "Si Qi, what style of ring do you like?"

Zhao Siqi almost choked on the coconut water.

Gao Chi asked again: "Succinct, retro, or inlaid with diamonds?"

Zhao Siqi covered her mouth and coughed twice before saying, "Gao Chi, who the hell wants to get married?"

Gao Chi winked at him: "It's me. I want to get married, do you agree?"

The wind kept blowing, messing up Zhao Siqi's hair, he raised his hand to tidy it up, and then covered his eyes to hide it.

When Gao Chi saw him smile, his eyes were crooked, and his chest was filled with an indescribable emotion, like a rising hot air balloon, or a sinking parachute.

Only Zhao Siqi could give him this up-and-down feeling.

"Actually, marriage is just a formality, and it's not that important to me." Zhao Siqi wrapped her hands around her knees, and her eyes fell on the wild flowers shaking her head not far away.

"Gao Chi, being able to know you, fall in love with you, and be with you is already a very lucky and happy thing." Zhao Siqi paused, and said, "It really doesn't matter whether you get married or not. Compared with getting that paper Certificate, I want a home of my own."

Gao Chi took Zhao Siqi's hand, interlocking his fingers, and said, "Then I will give you a home."

Zhao Siqi turned her face sideways and smiled at him.

Gao Chi continued: "To be honest, I also feel that I am very lucky. If I didn't just live opposite you and become your neighbor, I don't know how much time I would have wasted to be with you."

Speaking of this, Zhao Siqi sat up straight and thought seriously: "This incident is really a coincidence. Why did you choose that house at that time?"

Gao Chi said, "Li Han introduced it."

Zhao Siqi opened her eyes slightly: "Li Han?"

Gao Chi nodded: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Zhao Siqi said in a daze: "Li Han knows where I live, and he also knows how much I treat you..."

Before he could finish speaking, the wind suddenly stopped.

Wan Lai was silent.

Zhao Siqi already understood roughly, he grabbed Gao Chi's arm, exerted some strength, and suddenly realized: "No wonder Li Han asked us to treat him to dinner."

Gao Chi asked, "Is that what I think?"

Zhao Siqi nodded: "It should be."

"Fuck me." Gao Chi was so startled that he cursed.

He always thought that the coincidence and fate were destined by the heavens, and never thought about the possibility of human arrangements.

He and Zhao Siqi looked at each other silently for a moment, and then sent a message to Li Han, to the effect that he asked if he was deliberately placed next door to Zhao Siqi when he introduced the house.

A few minutes later, Li Han returned a laughing expression.

What it means is self-evident.

--------

The last day of the Qingming holiday was a cloudy and rainy day, the sun was covered by thick clouds, and there was not a ray of sunlight leaking out.

This morning, Zhao Siqi was going to visit Zhao Yuyan's grave.

Gao Chi drove with him, and it took more than an hour to reach the cemetery on the outskirts of the city.

Arriving at the cemetery, Zhao Siqi held a bouquet of yellow and white chrysanthemums in his arms. He placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone and said softly, "Mom, I'm here to see you."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to pull Gao Chi's hand, but realized that this is a public place, and it is not very good for two big men to hold hands, so he pulled Gao Chi's clothes instead, and said to the mother in the photo: "This is Gao Chi gallop."

Gao Chi didn't think there was anything wrong, he directly took Zhao Siqi's hand and asked, "Did you tell Auntie about me?"

Zhao Siqi said: "Well, my mother knows about you. If nothing happened to her, she would still like to invite you to our house."

Gao Chi turned his gaze to the photo on the tombstone.

The woman in the photo is gentle and gentle, and looks very young.Zhao Siqi has inherited most of her looks, especially when she smiles, the expressions of mother and son are very similar.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm Gao Chi. I used to be Si Qi's classmate, now I am Si Qi's boyfriend, and in the future I will spend my whole life with her lover." After speaking, Gao Chi looked deeply at the woman in the photo. I bowed deeply.

For some reason, Zhao Siqi's eyes became hot, and she suddenly wanted to cry.

He broke away from Gao Chi's hand and gently wiped the corners of his eyes.

The environment in the cemetery is quiet, with occasional breezes blowing by and the leaves rustling.

Many people came to pay respects to the deceased today, Zhao Siqi was surrounded by people of all kinds passing by, he didn't stay for long, he said a few words to his mother and was about to leave.

Gao Chi held out a hand to him, meaning to lead him away.

Zhao Siqi was a little shy, but she still let Gao Chi hold her.

The moment the two held hands again, Zhao Siqi felt his ring finger go cold. He looked down and saw a silver plain ring on it.

The style of this plain ring is very simple, but it can be seen that the cut surface is very delicate, and there is a fine diamond inlaid in the middle, shining finely in the sunlight.

Zhao Siqi opened her mouth and was stunned.

"Actually, I wanted to give it to you in a few days. After thinking about it just now, I think the timing is not bad. I can ask Auntie to be a witness for us in front of Auntie."

Gao Chi stood up straight, and said seriously and solemnly: "Si Qi, although we can't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate, and we can't get a legally binding red book, but as you said two days ago, it's just a formality and doesn't It's not that important. People who really love each other can stay together for a lifetime without the guarantee of marriage."

"But I have to give you something that other couples should have. They have rings, and I will buy them for you too. They take wedding photos, and I can take you to countries where same-sex marriage is legal. As long as you want, I can do everything a normal couple would do."

Zhao Siqi's eyes turned red again.

Gao Chi said: "So, Si Qi, are you willing to marry me?"

Zhao Siqi smiled through tears.

Gao Chi blushed: "What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Siqi raised her ring finger and waved it in front of Gao Chi's eyes: "You put on the ring for me, and you still want to ask me if I want it?"

Gao Chi scratched his hair, feeling a little embarrassed: "I was too nervous and got the order wrong."

Zhao Siqi stood on tiptoe, regardless of whether anyone around would pay attention, and took the initiative to kiss Gao Chi's face, "Don't be nervous, I am willing."

On the way back, the sky began to rain lightly, and the rain fell obliquely on the car window, sliding out transparent water marks.

The sound of rain is very hypnotic white noise.Zhao Siqi was a little sleepy, he yawned and took a nap in the car.

He was going to be on duty now, and when Gao Chi sent him to his destination, he was still sleeping in the co-pilot seat.

The high-intensity duty for several consecutive days made him too tired, even if he was sitting in a small and cramped position, he still slept soundly.

Gao Chi waited for half an hour before waking him up.

Zhao Siqi rubbed her eyes: "What time is it?"

Gao Chi helped him tidy up his hair and said, "It's still early, there's still time."

Zhao Siqi, who had just woken up, reacted slowly, and her voice was a little hoarse. He said, "Is there an umbrella in the car? I want to buy a cup of coffee to refresh myself."

Gao Chi said: "Yes. I will go with you."

It happened that there was a Starbucks opposite. Gao Chi held an umbrella, put his arm around Zhao Siqi's shoulders, and led him quickly over there.

The rain gradually became heavier, and Gao Chi's umbrella kept tilting towards Zhao Siqi's direction, so that a small piece of his clothes were quickly soaked.

Zhao Siqi didn't realize that, as soon as he entered the store, he walked towards the radiator and hugged his arms to keep warm.

Gao Chi put the umbrella at the door, walked over and asked him, "What do you want to drink?"

Zhao Siqi said: "It's fine if it's not bitter."

Gao Chi pinched his face, and said expressionlessly: "I want to drink coffee to refresh myself, but I am afraid of suffering. How can I buy it?"

Zhao Siqi blinked her eyes: "You should think of a way."

Gao Chi went to the counter to order, and Zhao Siqi sat on a seat near the heater and waited for him. After about 10 minutes, Gao Chi came back with two cups of coffee.

"I remember that you liked to drink this in high school. It should be this. I can't remember clearly." Gao Chi said to himself, and handed one of the glasses to Zhao Siqi.

A silver light radiated from his ring finger, it was a ring of the same style as Zhao Siqi, slightly wider in size.

Gao Chi asked: "I didn't buy it wrong, did I?"

Zhao Siqi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled from the bottom of her heart.

In front of him was a cup of cappuccino with cream.

Zhao Siqi reached out to take it.The liquid in the cup swayed slightly, and the warm temperature spread from the inside to the outside, spreading from his palm to his limbs and bones, dispelling the chill all over his body at once.

"Well, I didn't buy it wrong." He said to Gao Chi with a smile.

Gao Chi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and sat opposite him.

The rain outside was still heavy, and it wouldn't stop for a while, so Gao Chi and Zhao Siqi sat where they were, planning to finish their cup of coffee before going out.

Sitting at a nearby table were two high school students, a man and a woman, still wearing school uniforms, busy doing their homework.

Gao Chi glanced in their direction, leaned forward, and whispered to Zhao Siqi: "This must be a young couple who fell in love early."

Zhao Siqi calmly said: "How did you find out, what if he is just a good friend?"

"I've seen them drink the same cup of coffee," Gauchi said.

Zhao Siqi smiled slightly: "Why are you making such a fuss, it's not uncommon for high school students to fall in love, don't you yourself..."

Halfway through the speech, Gao Chi picked up the cappuccino at hand, put it near Zhao Siqi's lips, and wanted to feed him.

Zhao Siqi stopped her voice in a timely manner, and while drinking coffee slowly, she looked at Gao Chi jokingly.

After drinking enough, he pouted and signaled Gao Chi to put it down.

"It would be great if we were together in high school." Gao Chi put the coffee cup back on the table and whispered, with a regretful tone.

"We couldn't be together in high school." Zhao Siqi supported her face and said, "Because I would definitely not confess my love to you at that time."

Gao Chi frowned, and said quite seriously: "Student Zhao Siqi, did you never intend to confess your love to me? Even when I was single after returning to China, you never thought of letting me know?"

Zhao Siqi kept smiling and didn't speak, which was a tacit agreement.

Gao Chi snorted softly, "Then you can confess your love to me now."

Zhao Siqi laughed: "What confession, why are you more childish than other high school students?"

Gao Chi persisted: "I want to hear it. Just say 'I like you' now and let me listen."

Zhao Siqi always followed Gao Chi, only hesitated for a second or two, then raised her hands into a trumpet shape, and said to Gao Chi one word at a time: "Gao Chi, I like you."

The traffic in the store is a bit heavy, and the conversation is continuous and noisy.But Gao Chi has good hearing and can hear very clearly.

Gao Chi smiled with satisfaction.

Zhao Siqi couldn't hold back, and also laughed out loud.

After many years, holding a cup of cappuccino that symbolizes fruitless secret love, he can finally say "I like you" to Gao Chi without any burden.
