After wearing the spare tire, I was with Bai Yueguang

"Ok?"

Yan Guiqiu paused, subconsciously turned his head.

There is an empty path behind, and no one can be seen.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xuehe asked from the side, "Is someone missing you again?"

Yan Guiqiu shook his head and touched the back of his neck.

She didn't know what happened. It seemed that some pressure suddenly disappeared in the dark. She felt her shoulders loosened, and she subconsciously wondered if something special had happened.

But when she turned around, she saw nothing.

Maybe it's an illusion.

Yan Guiqiu didn't pay much attention.

The two had just finished discussing some small details in the company responsible for planning the engagement banquet. It was already dark when they came out, but they were not very hungry, so they simply walked around the small park outside the community, and then Go back and cook.

Jiang Xuehe took Yan Guiqiu's hand, and while walking back, continued to tell her about the recent incidents in the Jiang family.

Before Jiang Xueyang wanted to take Tan Xiangxi to his sister's engagement banquet, he proudly greeted his mother in advance.

But everyone other than him expressed firm opposition to this.

One was the suspicion of provoking Jiang Xuehe. There were quite a few people who knew about Tan Xiangxi's past.

Even if he didn't intend it that way, he still can't stop other people from thinking about it.

Second, go out to make Jiang's family feel ashamed, and at the same time, they have to be on guard against what kind of moth this person will make.

Although Jiang's father never supported Jiang Xuehe and Yan Guiqiu being together, but the old man said something, he had no room to refute, and he had to put on a smiling face honestly, and would never slap his family members in the face in public.

Therefore, Jiang Xueyang shouldn't bring Tan Xiangxi to the stage, let alone publicize his new relationship at his sister's engagement banquet.

Mrs. Jiang even went to the Qin family's door herself and had a big fight.

Jiang Xueyang is very dissatisfied with his mother's self-assertion, and feels that his girlfriend has been wronged. Recently, she has become significantly colder towards her mother.

After several quarrels broke out, Mrs. Jiang finally chose to compromise, and persuaded her husband to invite the Qin family to the engagement banquet——

The two families had some friendship in the past anyway, so inviting them here can be said to be a face-saving friendship, and it's not too abrupt.

And Jiang Xueyang finally backed down a step, saying that he would not disclose his idea of ​​getting engaged at his sister's engagement banquet, and would try to keep a low profile so as not to spoil his sister's good mood.

Jiang Xuehe is naturally considerate and magnanimous, and he is not angry at his brother's self-assertion, but welcomes him to bring his new girlfriend there.

During the few times she went home, Mrs. Jiang always dragged Jiang Xuehe to complain about the Qin family's affairs, and wanted her to persuade her brother as half of the party involved.

However, seeing her daughter's generous attitude, Mrs. Jiang felt guilty, but at the same time couldn't help but conspiratorial theories, wondering if she already had a grudge, and she just pretended not to care because she wanted to see her brother's jokes on purpose.

As soon as such thoughts popped up, she forcibly suppressed them.

Jiang Xueyang was her child, and so was Jiang Xuehe.

Parents would instinctively favor their children. After thinking about it, Mrs. Jiang would only push all the faults to the outside source—that is, Tan Xiangxi.

Mrs. Jiang's dissatisfaction with the Tan family grew day by day, and she only temporarily tolerated it to protect the overall situation of her daughter's engagement banquet.

It is conceivable that after the engagement banquet, Jiang Xueyang and Qin Xiangxi's relationship will be made public, there must be a lot of gossip outside, Mrs. Jiang and the Qin family's parents are exactly the same eccentric, bloody disputes in the future are obviously inevitable.

However, this has nothing to do with Jiang Xuehe.

Qin Xiangxi returned home after graduation. Her job has not been settled yet. Her parents feel sorry for her daughter and want her to relax a bit. She can settle there.

No matter whether she chooses to go home in the end or stay by Jiang Xueyang's side, the possibility of returning to Yunhua City is not too great.

And Jiang Xuehe and Yan Guiqiu will stay in Yunhua City for a long time to come.

Except for the necessary walks during the holidays, there is not much possibility of them bumping into each other head-on.

Recently, Mrs. Jiang's attention has been shifted to Tan Xiangxi, which has indeed saved Jiang Xuehe some trouble, but it is not an important matter to her. After hearing it, she will tell it like a joke with Yan Guiqiu. Then put it in the back of my mind.

For Jiang Xuehe, the more important thing is the company's affairs.

"The matter of the branch company has been decided by Grandpa. After the engagement banquet is over, the matter will be voted on at the first meeting in July. If there are no accidents, it will be ready a year ago..."

"The second half of the year will start to get busy."

"It will inevitably be a bit difficult at the beginning, but it will be fine after a while of work." Jiang Xuehe said, "At least before next spring, it should be able to stabilize."

They thought of the subject of marriage again.

It was just a verbal agreement for the spring of next year, and Jiang Xuehe thought about it seriously later, interspersed with work arrangements, and didn't want to wait too late, next spring is the best time.

Before that, it's worth working harder.

When passing through a flower bed, the two were chatting in a low voice, and heard the sound of children laughing not far away. The young mother led her daughter to walk in front, and the daughter held a small windmill in the air. Waving his arms back and forth, behind him is a young father pushing a stroller, looking at his wife and daughter and laughing silently.

Yan Guiqiu turned his head to look at them through a bush.

Next to Jiang Xuehe happened to talk about the arrangements for next spring, and Yan Guiqiu suddenly remembered the time when he first met Jiang Xuehe this year.

At that time, she fell in love with Jiang Xuehe at first sight.

That one glance has touched her heart ever since.

When asked why she fell in love at first sight, she still can't say a reason, but she remembered what the impulse at that moment made her think of.

When she was a child in her previous life, she ran on the grass.

The young tutor sat in the garden sketching, watched her run around for a while, then stretched out his hand to call her over, showing a reluctant expression, patted her head and told her that he was leaving.

Not for any work reasons, just because she was getting married.

She has been in love with her boyfriend for more than ten years, and when she was still discussing whether to get married, she found out that she was pregnant, so the time of marriage was set on the nearest good day.

However, her boyfriend works in a different place, and she wants to get married and have children. After comprehensive consideration, she decided to move to his boyfriend.

Naturally, she couldn't continue with the tutoring work in the Ming family.

She proposed to Mrs. Ming about resigning and getting married half a month in advance, but she was willing to stay another half a month to find a new teacher for her, and at the same time, she wanted to say goodbye to Ming Huan.

Mrs. Ming didn't stop her, but took out her private money to add makeup for her.

In the empty other courtyard, everyone from the hostess to the servants congratulated her and said that she had met a good man, so a lot of presents were stuffed for her, and the joyous atmosphere diluted the sadness of parting.

Only the young Ming Huan didn't understand, so everyone explained to her that marriage means that two people become legally protected partners, and they will live together, take risks together, and share joys and sorrows together... For the rest of their lives, no matter the hardships Poverty, or wealth and happiness, there will be a significant other to accompany each other on the journey.

It does sound like a beautiful thing, like the abrupt end of most fairy tales.

While digesting the sadness of the teacher's imminent departure, Ming Huan felt the joy and happiness that naturally emanated from the teacher. Hearing her tell the story of the past and imagine the future, the sadness gradually turned into a beautiful expectation.

One afternoon, Ming Huan was lying under a tree doing homework, while the tutor was sitting beside him reading a book, chatting about the most frequently assigned Chinese homework in school, including speeches and essays about future dreams.

The teacher asked Ming Huan what dream he had for the future.

Ming Huan looked up at the teacher, his eyes sparkled, and he said without hesitation: "I want to get married. I will be the most beautiful bride in the world in the future. Then I will live happily ever after with the prince in the story."

The tutor was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a dumbfounding expression.

She probably felt that she had no taboos in her childhood, but she didn't discourage the enthusiasm of the young child. She reached out to touch her head, suppressed a smile, and said "OK".

This topic quickly spread throughout the courtyard, even the grandfather who was in charge of taking care of the garden couldn't help laughing and joking when he saw Ming Huan, followed by some encouragement, probably because he thought teasing children was fun.

Even Mrs. Ming just laughed when she heard about it, and in the end she just told her to keep her eyes open and find a good match.

Children are all 3-minute hot, Ming Huan was not affected, and soon he has a new interest, and when he grows up, he has long forgotten those old things.

When Yan Guiqiu thought about it again, he couldn't help being stunned for a long time.

Whether it's her, or Ming Huan from her previous life, she has long forgotten that she was still so innocent.

But being naive doesn't mean not being serious.

It wasn't until a certain moment when his heart settled down that Yan Guiqiu suddenly realized that he once had such a real expectation for the so-called "love".

When he was young, he was carefree and had the illusion that he was wrapped in love, so he unscrupulously hoped for more "love" in the future.

Later, those naive expectations were smoothed out by reality, and pressed to a corner where she hadn't cared about it for a long time. Even she herself forgot that they ever existed.

It is rare that anything can touch her heartstrings again.

Until she met Jiang Xuehe.

It's like a small stone is suddenly thrown into the water without waves for a long time, causing circles of ripples——

She didn't even need to bow her head to confront her heart before she realized that she still had the impulse of "love".

If she hesitates to move forward and the ripples return to calm, perhaps it will be difficult for her to produce any waves, like a pool of stagnant water, and walk through this new life calmly and numbly.

Fortunately, she took that step forward.

Every step is a new wave, and a new circle is created after a circle, making the stagnant water come alive again.

Yan Guiqiu and Jiang Xuehe walked through the flower bed side by side, past the family of four full of laughter, and walked to the deserted path, but they didn't feel lonely.

"...You may not believe it, when I was a child, my favorite stories were fairy tales about princesses and princes." Yan Guiqiu said, "Even every time I write an essay, I want to use whatever I can relate to."

Jiang Xuehe imagined the scene of Yan Guiqiu writing "The princess and the prince are happily together" on the composition notebook with a serious face, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Everyone has the right to dream of being a princess." Jiang Xuehe couldn't hold back his laughter with great difficulty, and he didn't forget to comfort him, "Are you disappointed that you didn't find the prince?"

Yan Guiqiu shook his head, looked at her and blinked, and said, "I have you."

The blunt words made Jiang Xuehe's heart slightly warm, and the corners of his eyes and brows became softer, and he said softly, "I'm very honored."

Yan Guiqiu scratched her palm, caught a glimpse of the weeds by the roadside out of the corner of her eye, and swallowed all the words that followed.

There was another reason why she liked fairy tales as a child.

Most fairy tales have a happy ending. At first glance, it seems that all the wicked people in the world will get their rewards and all the good people will live happily ever after.

Later she hated fairy tales for the same reason.

But after meeting Jiang Xuehe, she seemed to have truly come back to life, and was gradually pulled back to reality.

I also suddenly realized that the past is really the past.

Now when she thinks about what happened when she was a child in her previous life, she will no longer feel pain.

Thinking of Ming Huan later, it's like there is an unsealed glass window, as long as you keep walking, you will always pass it.

She is no longer Ming Huan.

So those old memories flashed across her mind, but did not leave any traces.

Yan Guiqiu stopped, just remembering that he used to weave things out of similar weeds on the side of the road.

She leaned over, pulled out a few slender weeds, and showed them to Jiang Xuehe.

It was also one of the great entertainments of her childhood.

"It's a pity that there are no flowers." Yan Guiqiu felt a little regretful, "When we used to weave wreaths, we stuffed some small flowers into them and put them on our heads. It made me feel better."

She touched her head, looked at the three or four pitiful weeds, and hooked Jiang Xuehe's fingers.

Jiang Xuehe laughed beside her while letting her move.

Yan Guiqiu gestured to the size of Jiang Xuehe's finger, and at the same time weaved a straw ring according to the size of her ring finger.

The slender and fair fingers are paired with rough weaving techniques and lush colors, which also have a different kind of beauty.

"The main thing is that the hands look good." Yan Guiqiu boasted.

Jiang Xuehe grabbed her hand, and the hand wearing the grass ring was inserted into Yan Guiqiu's finger, and the fingers were interlocked. In contrast, the other hand seemed empty.

Yan Guiqiu was thinking about whether to make another pair, when Jiang Xuehe dragged him upstairs.

She also had to give up.

Not long after entering the door, Yan Guiqiu was walking towards the room with the sheets taken from the balcony, when the doorbell rang a few times.

Jiang Xuehe put down his phone and went to open the door, Yan Guiqiu turned his head and saw red eyes.

A large bouquet of red roses completely blocked the faces of people outside. It was not until Jiang Xuehe took the flowers and whispered "Thank you" that Yan Guiqiu saw that the person standing outside the door was wearing the uniform of a deliveryman. .

The delivery staff also thoughtfully delivered a series of blessing words such as "Congratulations on success" and "Happy One Hundred Years".

The door closed with a bang.

Yan Guiqiu has not recovered yet.

Until Jiang Xuehe turned around holding the flowers and walked towards her, took the bed sheet in her hand and put it on the sofa beside her, then he didn't let go, just smiled at her and said, "Reciprocity is the norm."

Yan Guiqiu lowered his head, and saw that the grass ring on her ring finger had not been removed and thrown away.

Jiang Xuehe pulled her to a more open place, then stopped, knelt down in front of her on one knee, pulled her hand in front of him, and kissed her knuckles lightly.

Then she raised her head, smiled gently and handed the bouquet of bright red flowers to Yan Guiqiu.

"Beautiful Miss Yan Guiqiu, would you like to marry me as my wife and live happily ever after?"

Yan Guiqiu stared blankly into her eyes, his fingers trembled slightly, but he didn't break free from Jiang Xuehe's hand.

"Although I am neither a prince nor a knight," Jiang Xuehe said, "I love you."

Finally she said, "I want to spend the rest of my life with you—will you?"

Is there a second answer to this question?

After being stunned for a while, Yan Guiqiu finally realized what was filling his heart at that moment.

"I love you." Yan Guiqiu slowly grasped Jiang Xuehe's hand, paused for a moment, and gave the answer that did not require hesitation, "I am willing."
