The flowers are still sweet in Pinellia

Chapter 32

A sound of mobile phone vibrating suddenly woke up the sleeping person. Mu Yan rubbed her eyes, looked up at the time, and then quickly got up from the bed.

Dong Fangjing, who was reading a book, watched Mu Yan climb down from the top, and asked suspiciously, "Mu Yan, do you want to go out?"

Mu Yan ran to the mirror, tied her hair up high, and replied, "Well, I'm going to buy a plane ticket with You Zimo."

"Buy a plane ticket?"

"Yeah, I'm going to buy tickets with him, it's going to be a holiday soon." Mu Yan smiled slightly, because he was going to buy train tickets with her, even if it wasn't an equal exchange, she should still accompany him logically Buy a plane ticket.

"Speaking of which, it's time for me to buy a train ticket." Dong Fangjing thought for a while, "Time flies so fast. The first semester of my freshman year will be over soon, and I will be on vacation again in a blink of an eye."

Mu Yan smiled lightly, but did not answer.

"Put more sunscreen..." Dong Fangjing raised her eyes and smiled maliciously, "Such a beautiful girl, don't get sunburnt."

A treacherous smile appeared on Mu Yan's face, she turned around, and quickly applied the remaining sunscreen in her hand to Dong Fangjing's forehead.

Dong Fangjing was taken aback for a moment, and then picked up a small mirror on the table, but after seeing a new face in the mirror, she immediately let out a loud roar, "Mu Yan, don't let me catch you. "

Grabbing the bag, Mu Yan smiled and dodged Dong Fangjing's attack, and ran downstairs.

As soon as she got downstairs, she saw You Zimo waiting for her under the familiar sycamore tree.

"Brother Zimo." She smiled and ran towards him.

"Don't run away, be careful of heat stroke..." You Zimo looked at her with a smile on his face, and there was a hint of imperceptible complaint in his tone, "Actually, I just need to go by myself, it's such a hot day."

"It's okay." Mu Yan smiled and shook her head, "I don't go to buy tickets with you, I feel really sorry."

Her answer made You Zimo laugh but remained silent.

"I always feel that time flies." Before I knew it, a semester passed like this.However, for Mu Yan, the first semester of her freshman year may be an important turning point in her life.

"En." You Zimo nodded lightly, without speaking.

The two went to the nearest ticket office to S University.You Zimo walked into the ticket office, while Mu Yan looked around the surrounding environment. Suddenly, a bell rang in the empty hall.She lowered her head, took out her mobile phone from her bag and walked out.

"You Zimo, a ticket to City C, right?" The conductor's formulaic voice sounded.

You Zimo nodded, handed her the ID card, confirmed, and picked up the ticket. A series of seemingly cumbersome procedures were completed in the coherent movements of the conductor.

After getting the ticket, he said 'thank you' softly, then got up and left the ticket office.

After checking again, You Zimo put it into the backpack after confirming that it was correct, but when he raised his hand, he suddenly bumped into someone.

You Zimo raised his eyes, and was struck by a very handsome boy.The two had a brief face-to-face meeting, and he whispered, "I'm sorry."

The boy shook his head slightly and said softly, "It's okay."

You Zimo turned around and glanced at the boy again, then walked out of the hall.

The boy took out his mobile phone, glanced at the time, then walked to the ticket counter, took out his ID card, and said softly, "Lin Xia, a plane ticket to City A."

Staring at the handsome boy in front of him, the conductor's formulaic voice sounded again, "Lin Xia, a ticket to City A, right?"

The boy nodded and gave a soft 'huh'.

……

After staying up all night and struggling through the final exam week, and saying goodbye to everyone in the dormitory, Mu Yan embarked on a journey home.

"Brother Zimo, you are going home tomorrow, right?"

"Yeah." He nodded, "The plane at 10 am."

"Then we will meet again in two months." Mu Yan lowered her eyes and smiled, "Thank you for taking care of me this year."

"Don't be so polite with me." A smile flashed in You Zimo's eyes, he paused, "Actually, I think we will meet again soon."

"Yeah." Mu Yan smiled and nodded, yes, two months is really fast.They will meet again soon.

After waving goodbye to the boy behind her, Mu Yan checked the ticket and entered the station.

After ten hours of driving, she finally returned to the familiar city.City A where she was born and raised.Looking around at the bustling exit, she was at a loss for a while.

When she was a freshman, she was escorted to the station by her mother, and was picked up by You Zimo in T City. She didn't think it was a big deal, but now...

Looking at the crowds and vehicles coming and going, she couldn't help but took a deep breath before pushing her luggage and continuing to walk forward.

"Student, can I bother you?" A girl suddenly stopped her.

Mu Yan looked back, and asked in doubt, "What's wrong?"

The girl smiled and spoke softly, "Excuse me, how many buses do I need to take to get to the High School Attached to W University?"

"Route 89, 127, 158." Afraid that she would not understand, Mu Yan personally took her to a stop sign and explained to her by pointing to the three routes above.

"Thank you." The girl smiled sweetly.

Mu Yan shook her head with a smile, "It's okay." She had already engraved these routes in her heart, but the high school attached to W University, how long has it been since she stepped into that school gate again?

After graduating from the third year of high school, she had completely cut off contact with it and them in the fifth class.Jiang Chenning went to Province G, and cut off hearing from him when he graduated.Former friends Zhang Yuepeng and Liu Xueying have long since disappeared.In the third year of high school, except for books, which were her only friends, she never took the initiative to communicate with others.

Because of one person, she was accommodated by the class.

Because of one person, she was abandoned by the class.

She is probably the only one with a high school full of memories like this.

After buying the bus ticket to go home, Mu Yan spent the three-hour journey in a coma.When she got home, except for the necessary entertainment, she hardly ever went out, locked herself at home and lived a dark life.

The summer vacation of the university is full of monotony.Before she knew it, she spent a month in books.

Putting down the "Love Letter" in her hand, Mu Yan stretched her long waist.

Suddenly, she remembered the "Legend of Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu" that her grandfather gave her when she graduated from high school, and it seemed to be in the bottom drawer.

After finding the key, Mu Yan opened the drawer.However, when she found the book, she suddenly discovered the legendary Pandora's Box.

Opening the box lightly, Mu Yan was instantly stunned.

……

After knocking on the door lightly, Xia Ruizhen opened the door of Mu Yan's room.

"Mu Yan."

The called girl quickly put the necklace in her hand into a box, and looked up at Xia Ruizhen.

Xia Ruizhen smiled slightly, "Mu Yan, go to Area A to pick up Zimo tomorrow."

Eh?Mu Yan was stunned and said, "Brother Zimo?"

"Yes, Zimo is coming to attend grandpa's [-]th birthday."

Mu Yan was still in a daze, "Is he coming?"

Xia Ruizhen nodded with a smile, "Yes, the two families have returned to normal contact. Suyun asked him to come to grandpa's birthday banquet. The flight at 9 o'clock tomorrow."

"Really?" Mu Yan lowered her eyes, now she finally understood why You Zimo said that they would meet again soon.It doesn't mean to meet at the beginning of school, but means that he will come to City A.

Glancing at the box on the bed, Xia Ruizhen asked softly, "Mu Yan, can you still not forget that boy?"

Mu Yan didn't speak, Xia Ruizhen sat by her bed, "Mu Yan, when you applied for N University, I advised you to think clearly, I suggested you apply for W University where your grandfather is, but you didn't listen. On the last day, you changed your choice to S University, I know the reason why you applied to the school, but things didn't go as smoothly as you imagined, did they?"

Those words made her burst into tears.

"Mom." With tears in her beautiful eyes, she stared closely at Xia Ruizhen, "Yeah, why did you agree with me to choose S University? I regret it, I really regret it. I regret that I chose S University, I even regretted staying in T City. I thought I could feel at ease as long as I saw him once, but after seeing him once, I wanted to see him again. I was not as strong as I imagined. When we were intimate, my heart was so uncomfortable. He has his own happiness, I should bless him, but I..." She couldn't say the words of blessing, because she still liked him, deeply liked him.

Xia Ruizhen gently embraced Mu Yan, just like she did a few years ago, "You hurt him. But, have you forgotten how you got here in your third year of high school?"

Mu Yan shook her head, she has not forgotten, nor will she forget, how she got here.After this incident, the head teacher's attitude towards her suddenly changed.Although Lin Xia played truant from school, a good student was still a good student, but she was completely isolated.Not only did she lose her former friends Liu Xueying and Zhang Yuepeng, but also other classmates...

He won't understand her tears.Maybe, she shouldn't have been with him in the first place.One wrong step, one wrong step.

On the route home, the familiar mountain bike was no longer there.The two eventually became strangers.

Xia Ruizhen patted her on the shoulder, "Since he has found a girlfriend, then you should have your own life. You are still young, and you still have a lot of opportunities to choose. Don't just stay in this place and be unable to get out. .”

"But how should I get out?" Mu Yan raised her teary eyes, she was obviously not weak, she was obviously strong, but why did she become more and more crying now?

"Try to accept another new relationship." Xia Ruizhen sighed softly, "Isn't there a saying that the best way to forget someone is to fall in love with someone else?"

"Fall in love with someone else?" Mu Yan said in a daze, "But, what if I never fall in love with someone else in this life?"

"You're going to fall in love with people. You're still young, you've got a long way to go, and you'll meet a lot of people."

"No." Mu Yan shook her head firmly, "I can't let him go, I can't let him go." I can't let him go, and I don't want to let him go.No matter how many people she meets, he will be the only one in her heart.

Xia Ruizhen sighed lightly, "Mu Yan, if you can't let go of him, then you should go up to him now and tell him that you lied to him, that you have always liked him, and that it has never changed over the years.

Ask him to forgive you, ask him to break up with that girl, but do you think this is possible?

Mu Yan, can you do it?Even if you could do it, what would he think?Will he forgive you? "

What Xia Ruizhen said immediately made Mu Yan fall into deep thought.Yes, she never forgot the look in his eyes.Such cold and disgusted eyes, eyes that hate enemies.She wanted to forget, but couldn't forget the look in her eyes.

But now, that girl brought him a smile, she should bless him, shouldn't she?If someone could make him happy again, she should be happy too, shouldn't she?
"Mu Yan, if there is someone who is willing to treat you well, then try to accept that person."

Xia Ruizhen seemed to be recalling, "Actually, I liked someone before I found your father, but at that time he was accompanied by another girl, and I knew that I might not be with him anymore. I also lived in troubles and dullness, and I thought that there would be no more light in my life. Until I met Jianzhang one day." Her expression was very gentle, "Your father never gave me any promises, he only said Just say a word, and I will treat you well." In this way, it has been going on until the day of his sacrifice.

"Mom, do you regret marrying Dad?"

"Since I married him and became his wife, I have never regretted it."

"Really?" Mu Yan asked softly.

"Yes..." Xia Ruizhen smiled and nodded, "Maybe this is love."

"Mom doesn't ask for anything, she just wants you to be happy."

Happiness, but can she still have it now?

Locking the pendant and shells back into the last drawer, Mu Yan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and cheeks.

To this day, they are still so dazzling, but the person who gave her these is no longer by her side.

……

When she arrived at the agreed place, You Zimo was already waiting for her.

"Mu Yan."

She smiled slightly, "Brother Zimo, let's go back."

After a three-hour drive, the two returned home.

Xia Ruizhen prepared a separate bedroom for You Zimo, which is next to Mu Yan's room.Just like when he was at his house during the New Year's Eve when he was a freshman, he was next door to her.

"Mu Yan, after you pack your luggage, can you take me to visit the city?" You Zimo said as if recalling, "I always feel that some buildings still retain their original appearance."

"Okay." Mu Yan smiled and nodded.

Before You Zimo was seven years old, his family used to do business in City A, but after that incident, their family moved back to their original hometown, City C.

Presumably, he still has special feelings for this city.

He led him around the city, and it was Xia Kaiyuan's birthday in a blink of an eye.

Mu Yan's grandfather Xia Kaiyuan's birthday party is scheduled for Saturday.Xia Kaiyuan is a professor at the School of History of W University and enjoys a high reputation throughout the country.Every year on his birthday, many people celebrate him.But this year is especially special, after all, it is the old man's [-]th birthday, the famous students he has taught, no matter how far away they are from abroad, from other provinces, will come to celebrate him.

The birthday banquet was over, and after returning home from the hotel, Xia Kaiyuan let You Zimo and Mu Yan into his study.

"Zimo, I don't have any valuable things. I have taught books all my life. Perhaps the most valuable are these collections. You can choose one of them."

"Thank you, Grandpa." You Zimo smiled slightly, "Is there any book about introducing Prince Zhaoming?"

"Prince Zhaoming?" Xia Kaiyuan nodded appreciatively, "He is a very special figure in our history. An old professor devoted his whole life to studying him. I never thought you would like it. he."

He took out the "Biography of Prince Zhaoming" from the glass bookcase, and Xia Kaiyuan handed it to You Zimo, "This book introduces the life of Prince Zhaoming in detail, and there are also selected readings about anthologies. Read it carefully, it is very important for understanding him." Very helpful."

You Zimo nodded solemnly, "I will take a serious look."

"By the way." Xia Kaiyuan looked at Mu Yan, "Mu Yan, have you finished reading the "Legend of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty", and I have two copies of "Romance of the Eastern Han Dynasty" here, which are also helpful for understanding Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. "

"Well. Grandpa, when I start school, I will take it with me to see it."

Xia Kaiyuan nodded, and took out two copies of "Romance of the Eastern Han Dynasty" from the bookcase and handed them to Mu Yan, "It is good to read more books, especially history books."

After leaving the study, Mu Yan looked at the book in You Zimo's hand, and asked with some doubts, "Brother Zimo, why did you choose this book? Wasn't there a copy of "The Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty" on the shelf just now?" Master Li Yu Anthology?"

You Zimo smiled slightly, and said softly, "I really want to know about this historical figure you admire, and feel the kind of sentiment that can't be manifested without indifference, and can't go far without tranquility."

"Really?" Hearing his explanation, Mu Yan couldn't help but smile lightly.

……

Xia Kaiyuan's [-]th birthday was celebrated with everyone's blessings, and Mu Yan's birthday came quietly.

After tearing off the calendar that symbolized the end of the day, Mu Yan smiled slightly at the boy beside her, "Brother Zimo, you are leaving tomorrow."

You Zimo gave a soft 'hmm', he just came to attend her grandfather's birthday banquet, and indeed there is no other excuse for him to stay here.

"Mu Yan." He took out the exquisitely wrapped box from his pocket and handed it to her, "This is a gift I prepared for you. I don't know if you like it or not."

Mu Yan took it from his hand, and said casually, "Thank you."

"Can you open it?" She raised her eyes and smiled.

"Ah."

After unpacking and opening the box, a silver-purple four-leaf clover pendant immediately caught her eye.

Suddenly, her mind fell into a blank.

"Do you like it?" A pleasant male voice rang in my ears.

Mu Yan didn't speak, but just nodded in a daze.

You Zimo thought she didn't like this gift, so he said a little shyly, "I haven't given a girl a birthday present before, so I don't know what to choose."

"This is enough." Mu Yan shook her head and said softly, "Thank you."

Seeing her slightly dull eyes, You Zimo said in a gentle voice, "Then I'm going to pack my luggage."

"Yeah." He still nodded in a daze.

After packing up the luggage, You Zimo walked out of the room and knocked on the door next door, "Mu Yan, are you asleep?"

No one answered.

"Mu Yan." She continued to tap a few more times.

Finally, the door opened, but the delicate face of Lihua with rain in his eyes made him suddenly lose his mind.

Originally, he wanted to confirm the time of travel tomorrow, but who knew that he saw her tears.

"What's wrong?" You Zimo asked anxiously, "Mu Yan, why are you crying?"

Mu Yan didn't speak, but let the tears flow down her cheeks.

The same four-leaf clover necklace, but the sender is different.

The person she used to be no longer belonged to her.

He clearly told himself that he would not cry anymore, why did the tears flow down involuntarily?
You Zimo quietly looked at the girl in front of him, until she gradually stopped sobbing, he called out again, "Mu Yan..."

Mu Yan raised her hand to wipe away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, brother Zimo, I made you laugh."

You Zimo shook his head, "Why are you crying?"

Mu Yan lowered her eyes slightly, opened the last locked drawer, took out a delicate box from it, opened the box lightly, took out a shiny silver-purple four-leaf clover necklace, and said softly, " This one was given to me by him."

You Zimo was stunned, and two similar silver-purple four-leaf clover pendants instantly caught his eyes, one was given by him, and the other... Although he didn't say the name, he knew very well who the other was. Sent.

He never knew that the gift he gave would have such a meaning.

Staring at those tear-filled eyes, his heart felt like a knife.

There was a moment of silence, both of them had their own concerns.

Finally, Mu Yan took a deep breath, looked up at him with a smile, "Brother Zimo, I will go to the airport with you tomorrow."

"Mu Yan, actually I..." You Zimo finally said the words that had been hidden in his heart, "I hope to give you happiness."

Time seemed to be frozen at this moment, Mu Yan raised her eyes instantly, staring at him blankly.

His eyes are clear and serious, while his words are metaphorical and implicit.

She is a smart person. Although his words were not straightforward, his hints before made her understand that maybe their relationship is not limited to this.

just her...

"I'm sorry, Brother Zimo, I never thought you would..." Before the three words 'like me' came out, You Zimo said again, "Mu Yan, will you give me this chance?"

The special relationship between them made him dare not confide his feelings to her in front of her.but now……

"I don't know...my heart..." Mu Yan shook her head, her heart was... not so much broken as it is gone.It has long been lost in that cold windy night a few years ago.

"Let me fix it for you, okay?"

"Mu Yan, I thought watching you grow was enough, but I couldn't let go of my feelings for you. When you really appeared in front of me, that suppressed feeling broke out violently. I want to accompany you By your side. You separated from him, and I know you haven't let him go until now, but I'm willing to wait." Wait until you give me a chance.

His face was so clear in her eyes, but now she didn't have the extra energy to think about it.

"Mu Yan, don't go on like this, okay?" You Zimo looked at her, "Give me a chance to stay by your side, okay?"

He is willing to be by her side and soothe her soul.

Mu Yan never thought that the relationship between them would become like this, his words made her fall into deep contemplation, and after a while, she said softly, "Can you let me think about it? ?”

"Okay, I'll wait for you." She couldn't see and understand the pain in her eyes.

Leaving sadly, he quietly closed the door of her room.

One night, just one night, caused such a change in the relationship between them.

You Zimo has returned to City C, although Xia Ruizhen insisted that Mu Yan take him to the airport, but You Zimo still refused with a smile.

Mu Yan didn't walk out of the room, but she knew he had left.

In nine hours and 9 minutes, their relationship has changed dramatically.

At the age of nine, she said to a boy, 'You took my dad and I never want to see you again. '

When she was 19 years old, she said to a boy, 'Mu Yan, 19 years old, foreign language college, Japanese department, from city A. '

They bonded because of a special incident. Her father lost his life trying to save him, and he would fall in love with the daughter of the person who saved his life.

When she was 14 years old, when she unfolded the letter paper and tried to write to him in immature handwriting for the first time, her mood...

At the age of 19, when she saw him again and called him 'Brother Zimo' again, her mood...

Never changed.

There is a light pink box on the bookshelf, which contains the letters he wrote to her, one after another, which she carefully treasures.

It turns out that he has seen the relationship between her and Lin Xia. It turns out that he understands everything about her, but he just doesn't talk about it.

All along, she only regarded him as an elder brother, but now, what kind of mentality should they face each other?
