When Yan Guiqiu walked towards the exit of the airport, he couldn't help but stop and shiver.

Jiang Xuehe noticed her movement, took the initiative to take the suitcase in her hand, and asked, "Cold?"

As he spoke, he prepared to open the box to find his coat.

Yan Guiqiu hurriedly pressed her hand, took the box back and dragged it by himself, shaking his head: "No, no, I always feel that someone behind my back is saying bad things about me."

The average temperature of Ningcheng is higher than that of Yunhua, so naturally it will not be too cold.

But Jiang Xuehe was still a little dubious.

Yan Guiqiu rubbed her nose, dragged the box and quickened her pace, while diverting her attention: "My mother said that someone was coming to pick us up, and it's at North No. [-] Exit—North...it should be over there."

She looked around in a circle before she could discern a general direction.

Jiang Xuehe had sharper eyes than her, and quickly found the sign of North No. [-] Exit: "Diagonally opposite."

When the two walked to the exit, there were already people waiting outside.

Fortunately, this time it was someone Yan Guiqiu knew, and he raised his hand to greet him.

"Brother Yun, here." Yan Guiqiu waved his hand, then turned to introduce Jiang Xuehe, "It's my mother's assistant, surnamed Yun, just call him Brother Yun."

Assistant Yun was a well-dressed young man, wearing metal-rimmed glasses, and looked very stable and refined. He obviously knew Yan Guiqiu well. He walked over and took the suitcase in her hand, and greeted her casually.

"Mr. Meng is currently receiving guests, and it is estimated that he will not be free until after four o'clock in the afternoon. Ah Zhou has class today, and he will not be back until after three o'clock." Assistant Yun said, "Aqiu, you and Miss Xuehe go back first rest?"

Yan Guiqiu glanced at Jiang Xuehe, she had asked Jiang Xuehe when he got off the plane, Jiang Xuehe was not very tired at the moment, and he didn't see anyone when he went home.

She thought for a while, and finally said: "No, you just need to send the salute back for us, and drop us off in the city center later, I will take Sister Xuehe for a stroll, and then go back to have dinner at night."

Assistant Yun was originally here to be a tool for coolies, so he nodded and agreed, and then asked, "Do you need me to help you find a tour guide?"

After all, Yan Guiqiu hasn't come back for a long time.

"...No need." Yan Guiqiu resolutely refused, "We're just going out for a meal."

Assistant Yun didn't insist anymore, but introduced a few bustling shopping malls in the city center, half of which were newly built in the past two years, and there are several parks not far away, which are very popular with young couples welcome.

Yan Guiqiu asked Jiang Xuehe for his opinion, and picked a shopping mall closest to his home.

Assistant Yun stopped the car at the roadside of the shopping mall, put the two down, and then continued to drive to Yan's house.

Yan Guiqiu narrowed his eyes and watched the rear of the car disappear into the intersection, pointed in that direction, and said to Jiang Xuehe, "My house is over there, about ten minutes' walk away."

She turned her head and looked around again. There were old communities and old shopping malls around here, and she still had some impressions.

Then she pointed to the community diagonally opposite, and said, "An Chen's family used to live there."

A few decades ago, it was considered a high-end community.

The two often went to school together when they were young. To the west is the elementary school, and to the north of the elementary school is the junior high school and university, not far from the shopping mall.

But after graduating from primary school, Yan Guiqiu seldom came here except to play with Song Anchen.

When they were in high school, the Song family moved to another city because of the shift of the company's focus. The house here was simply sold. Yan Guiqiu and Song Anchen still kept in touch, but there was no reason to come here again.

When I come back once in a while, I'm either too busy to go shopping, or it's too cold to move.

Yan Guiqiu dragged Jiang Xuehe around outside the mall before remembering to go in for dinner.

A little embarrassed turned to look at Jiang Xuehe, but found that she was listening seriously.

"This is where you grew up." Jiang Xuehe stood in front of the river guardrail next to the shopping mall, looked up at the tall buildings and the shade of trees in the distance, every inch was fresh, and one couldn't bear to miss it.

"En." Yan Guiqiu was infected by Jiang Xuehe's earnestness, and followed him to look into the distance.

What she didn't say was that the city was already a little strange to her.

This is something that can be guessed without saying.

But after all, she was born and grew up here in this life, her family is here, and her roots are here. This city has always had a special meaning for her.

Even though we haven't seen each other for many years, standing in a strange and familiar place, there is still a sense of intimacy in a trance.

What would the place where Sister Xuehe grew up be like?

Yan Guiqiu couldn't help thinking.

She turned her head to look at Jiang Xuehe, and the other party's eyes happened to bump into him too.

"...Let's go eat first." Yan Guiqiu was still unable to speak in the end, and looked up at the big clock on the top of the shopping mall, "It's almost dinner time, there should be restaurants open."

Jiang Xuehe followed her gaze and looked up, and couldn't help laughing: "So isn't that a decoration?"

The giant clock on the top of the shopping mall looks a little old, and at a glance, it is the traces of years of wind and rain.

She thought it was just an old-fashioned decoration, but when she looked at it now, she suddenly realized that the pointer of the minute hand seemed to have turned slightly.

"It's a real clock, and there should be someone maintaining it." Yan Guiqiu said, "When I was a child, it would ring every hour when school was over, but I haven't heard it much since then."

She thought for a while, and then added: "It was rumored that someone nearby complained about nuisance, so the shopping mall removed the function of telling the time."

The two walked into the mall while talking.

Different from the sense of history outside, the inside of the shopping mall is very lively. Many popular small shops line up outside. The floors and walls have obviously been refurbished. They are clean and bright, and you can see various signs everywhere. It is no wonder that after so many years Stand firm.

But the two didn't come to inspect the work, they randomly picked a shop that wasn't too busy and sat down for lunch.

When they came out after eating, the number of people in the mall obviously increased a lot.

There were quite a few people who looked like students, who probably came over to have a meal and go shopping just after class.

Yan Guiqiu glanced at the people standing outside the elevator, sighed helplessly, then turned to Jiang Xuehe, "Shall we go out for a walk?"

Jiang Xuehe: "Go to the small park?"

"..." Yan Guiqiu pretended to be calm and nodded, "Take a breath of fresh air."

Next to the shopping mall, cross the river and then pass the parking lot. In front of it is a newly built park.

It is to surround the original demolished wasteland with the short hills and the river behind, replant some new trees and flowers, pave the square, repair a few paths and gazebos, and add some fitness equipment.

I thought it was a place that only the elderly would like to patronize, but when I walked over, I found that the street at the entrance was full of various stalls.

From children's toys to street fortune-telling, as well as candied haws, marshmallows and tofu brains, it looks no less deserted than the mall.

The place recommended by Assistant Yun is really reliable.

Yan Guiqiu thought.

The park is free and open, and the entrance is only set up with a curved fence that prohibits vehicles from entering, so people can walk in unimpeded.

Several young couples held the same ball of marshmallows, put their heads together intimately, and walked towards the entrance of the park sticky.

Yan Guiqiu subconsciously looked away.

Then a candied haws appeared in front of her.

"Do you want to eat it?" Jiang Xuehe asked, already stuffing that one into Yan Guiqiu's hand.

Yan Guiqiu subconsciously caught it, and Jiang Xuehe turned back to buy cotton candy.

Two of the same, one for each person.

So when they walked into the park, both of them had marshmallows in one hand and candied haws in the other.

The child with missing teeth next to them looked up at them, slobbering with his fingers, his face full of envy.

Wild Goose Returning to Autumn: ...

This is not the same as what was said!

Jiang Xuehe turned to look at her and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Yan Guiqiu silently swallowed the words, nodded: "...I like it."

She took a bite of the candied haws. It was sweet in the mouth, but before it was sweet, there was a sour taste that rushed straight into the nostrils.

Jiang Xuehe laughed beside him: "So sour?"

Yan Guiqiu wrinkled his face and nodded: "It's still very astringent."

Jiang Xuehe said: "Then don't eat it, and I'll buy you something else later."

Yan Guiqiu took a bite of the marshmallow, and said slowly, "It's okay, it's quite special to eat together."

The slight sweetness overwhelms the sourness, but it does have a special flavor.

Seeing her brows stretched, Jiang Xuehe handed over the candied haws in his hand: "How about trying this?"

Yan Guiqiu subconsciously bit the top one, slowly and carefully bit down, his eyes lit up: "This one is sweet."

"Really?" Jiang Xuehe took it back, and casually bit the lower one. His expression didn't change much, and he said after swallowing, "It's quite sweet."

That's not a good comment on her - she doesn't like anything too sweet.

As soon as Yan Guiqiu threw the leftover sticks into the trash can, Jiang Xuehe handed over the remaining candied haws: "If you like it, eat it for you."

The untouched marshmallows were also handed over.

Yan Guiqiu never refused sweet snacks, and it was Jiang Xuehe who handed them over. She didn't think much about it, and took another bite while looking at the road ahead.

The young lovers in front got together and whispered together, getting closer and closer as they talked, and then with a "baji", they kissed loudly on the corner of their mouths.

The person being kissed was stunned for a moment, and then blushed, but still reached out to wrap his arms around his girlfriend's waist, and kissed back quickly.

Very blatantly abused dogs like no one else.

A little further behind, a very soft "噫——" was faintly heard.

In broad daylight, the sky is bright.

Yan Guiqiu shook his head and sighed halfway, suddenly startled, looked down and saw three pieces of candied haws that had been bitten off in his hand, and didn't know what he thought of, he stayed for a while and then slowly blushed.

Is this an indirect kiss?She can't help but diverge her thoughts.

Jiang Xuehe's voice sounded from the side: "Do you want to try it too?"

Yan Guiqiu hadn't recovered yet, and looked back at her in a daze: "Huh?"

Jiang Xuehe reached out and took her hand.

By the time Yan Guiqiu realized it, they had already diverted into a small road.

The surrounding forest is dense, and the sound of water flow can be faintly heard. When you look up, you can see the outline of the stone bridge. The path goes all the way down, probably leading to the river.

There are no figures on the left and right, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and the sound of gurgling water covers all the subtle movements.

Jiang Xuehe took Yan Guiqiu's hand and pressed it up, the tip of his nose accidentally bumped into each other, and then a real kiss fell.
