Admit it, you're heartbroken

Chapter 125 I Want Candy

Zheng Ziyue opened the trunk of Zheng Gang's car, and there were two bunches of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in it, the tender yellow petals were still dripping with water, presumably Dad bought them in the morning.

A faint fragrance overflowed from the trunk, Zheng Ziyue took a bunch of them, lowered her head and smelled it, then turned to Zhou Yixu and said, "This is my mother's favorite flower."

She bent her crescent-like eyes and smiled, her eyes shining brightly.

Zhou Yixu took the flowers for her, and held her up with the other hand.

Under the leadership of Zheng Ziyue, the two walked to the woods outside the county.

Although it was a sunny day, it had just snowed two days ago, and there were patches of water on the road, shining brightly under the sunshine.

Fortunately, there is a gravel road in the forest that everyone often walks, so it will not be too muddy to walk.

Zheng Ziyue's heart was heavy and she didn't speak all the way.

But this time was different, with Zhou Yixu by her side, she didn't feel so empty and sad, after all, her mother had passed away for more than five years.

I came to the woods outside the county with ease and familiarity. There was a small lake beside the woods, and a tombstone stood quietly beside the lake.

Zhou Yixu saw at a glance that the word "Zhou Jiahui" was engraved on the stele.

Although the tombstone stands beside the forest outside the county, the area around the tombstone is very clean. It can be seen that someone often comes to clean it.

Zheng Ziyue bent down and placed the sweet-scented osmanthus in front of the stele, and after a long time, she opened her mouth to speak.

"Mom, I'm here to see you. My father and I are here to accompany grandpa and grandma on New Year's Eve. They are all in good health. You don't have to worry about us..."

The girl just stood there chattering like that, in her gentle voice, there was sometimes a bit of coquettish taste, as if her mother was standing in front of her.

It wasn't until he told everything about the past half a year one by one that he took half a step to the side and grabbed Zhou Yixu's arm.

"Mom, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend Zhou Yixu. I like him very much. He treats me very well. I hope you can bless us."

Listening to the girl's words, Zhou Yixu's heart immediately became heavy, and the apex of his heart felt hot.

He held the girl's hand tightly and bowed towards the grave, "Auntie, I'm Zhou Yixu, please rest assured that I'm by her side."

He spoke briefly, with a sincere and firm tone.

Zheng Ziyue leaned against his arms with red eyes, but the tears in her eyes were because she was happy.

If her mother was still there, she could even imagine her reaction when she saw herself with Zhou Yixu.

Mom will definitely smile and pat herself on the head, although she is also worried about herself, afraid that she will suffer emotionally.

But I am more happy for myself, I will definitely say, "My little Yueer has also reached the age to bring her boyfriend home..."

Yes, if you could see Zhou Yixu, you would agree with us being together, wouldn't you?

The two stood in front of the tomb for a long time before Zheng Ziyue took Zhou Yixu back to the county.

"By the way, what did my dad talk to you about last night?"

Zhou Yixu squeezed her soft little hands, "It's nothing."

Hmph, don't say it if you don't say it, and pretend to be mysterious.

Today is New Year's Day, and small red lanterns or ornaments are hung in front of every house.

From time to time, children ran out, chasing and playing, and the little boys had small cannons in their pockets.

There was a crackling sound when it fell to the ground, full of atmosphere.

Zheng Ziyue led Zhou Yixu around the county with great interest, and couldn't take his eyes off the old sugar seller at the bridgehead.

Looking at the eyes of the little greedy cat beside her, he immediately saw through her little thoughts.

Zhou Yixu couldn't help smiling, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Yueyue, I want to eat that."

Zheng Ziyue regained her spirits when she heard that, "Then let's go buy some! That one is pure handmade maltose, it's delicious!"

"Okay." Zhou Yixu followed behind her dotingly.

"This little rabbit is so cute, let's get one of this puppy too, Miaomiao is a dog, Zhou Yixu, which one do you like?" Zheng Ziyue came to the stall, stretched out his fingers and ordered a few.

The sugar seller's uncle cheerfully responded, wrapping up those sugar figures swiftly.

Zhou Yixu glanced at it, this little greedy cat bought three at a time, wouldn't he be afraid of toothache and stomach acid?
But facing the girl's bright eyes, his fingers obediently chose one to wrap it up, and scanned the QR code to pay.

Zheng Ziyue took the sugar figurine, and before she ate it, her heart was already filled with sweetness, so she bounced and dragged him towards the house.

As soon as he entered the door, grandpa saw the sugar figurine in her hand, and knocked the cigarette ash in his hand, "You can't eat too much sugar! If you eat too much, you will feel sick to your stomach!"

Seeing this, Zhou Yixu took a step forward, "Grandpa, it's because I want to eat candy. I never ate it when I was a child."

"It turned out that Xiao Zhou wanted to eat it. Old Li, the sugar seller, is my friend. If you like food, I will ask him to make some for you to take home with you when you leave."

Grandpa chuckled, but he was puzzled and sympathetic to Zhou Yixu's words in his heart. This little Zhou looked like a child from a respectable family, why didn't he even eat a candy man when he was young.

Zheng Ziyue: "..."

Grandpa, who is your granddaughter!

Jiang Miao pricked up her ears and listened, then shook her head and continued to play games with lowered eyes.

Grandpa just reminded me, look at my brother-in-law's protective attitude, don't look at him!

Before noon, the four men got into the kitchen and started to kill crabs. Spicy crabs are a craft handed down from the Zhou family, and Zheng Gang had already learned from the old man.

Today they taught Zhou Yixu how to make this spicy crab.

Zheng Ziyue was chatting with her grandmother in the living room.

"Xiaoyue, when are you going to go back?"

"Number three, Dad will start work on the fourth." Zheng Ziyue thought for a while.

"What about Xiao Zhou? Is he going to stay for a few days?" Grandma suddenly chuckled and brought the topic to Zhou Yixu.

Zheng Ziyue was stunned for a moment, she really hadn't asked him about it.

"I see, he likes to stay here with you very much. Whenever he has time in his eyes, he will look at you." Grandma just observes these juniors every day when she has nothing to do.

The more I look at it, the more interesting it becomes. The more I look at it, the more I feel that Xiao Zhou is calm and patient in speaking and doing things. He is also gentle and restrained in dealing with Xiao Yue. He really likes his granddaughter.

Zhou Yixu stayed so diligently for these three days, and Zheng Gang's face towards him also became better day by day.

Although he still hasn't completely let go, it looks like he won't be able to collapse for a few days.

On the [-]rd, Zheng Gang packed up his things and ate dinner alone and drove home, leaving Zheng Ziyue and Zhou Yixu to spend an extra day with the old man.

Zhou Yixu will transfer to another department for internship after New Year's Day, so he will have an extra day off.

After sending Zheng Gang away, Zhou Yixu was dragged by Jiang Miaoqiang to help with his homework. After three days of bad performance, he went to the homework crematorium at night.

After Zheng Ziyue helped her grandfather tidy up, she went back to the bedroom to make a phone call with her best friend.

"How was New Year's Day, my treasure?" Tang Xiaoxiang's voice sounded a little tired, and he must have been tired of dealing with the elders of the Tang family these days.

After all, with her family and identity in place, it would be tiring to even put on a superficial effort.

"Well, the New Year in the county is very easy. It's not like you don't know it, and Zhou Yixu is also here, and he didn't ask me to do anything." Zheng Ziyue thought about it, and she was really free.

Tang Xiaoxiang: "..."

My dear sister, you don't have to give me dog food during the big festival!
No, she suddenly turned her head around and said loudly, "What are you talking about? Zhou Yixu is here?!"
