In September, the sun had set earlier than usual, and a cool breeze swept away the heat of the day.

After a day of bustling college campuses, calm gradually returned, and the three-story luxury supermarket on the campus was noisy.

The students worked in pairs, pushing the frame of the cart, picking and picking around the shelves.

In the drink area on the second floor, the boy was dressed casually, buttoned his sweatshirt and hat on his head, and lazily leaned on the side of the shelf pinching his mobile phone to reply to whose message.

After a while, the other party came with a girl's ID photo: "This is the admission ID photo, the address on the admission file is written in Sumire and Guzhen, you can see if it is the Ren Zhen you are looking for." ”

The boy's brows furrowed for a moment after clicking on it, and a pair of long eyes under his eyebrows revealed half surprise and half sadness.

He held his phone up a little higher, leaned forward slightly, and flicked his fingers across the screen to zoom in on the photo.

The girl's smile is pure, two dimples are deeply imprinted on both sides of the pink lips, and a pair of almond eyes are bright and deep.

The boy stared at the photo for a long time, zooming in and out for a while.

After a while, he hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly, and clicked back the picture and quickly typed on the keyboard.

Just halfway through the ring, the phone came in, and it was the person who sent the photo.

The two of them had just said a word, when suddenly the boy's shoulders sank, and the man also leaned back.

"Brother!" the man on his back shouted joyfully.

The boy was stunned for a moment, and a wave of irritability spread in his heart.

I recognized the wrong person, big girl.

It's annoying, and the hand is still instinctively looped behind him, in case the person on his back accidentally falls, after all, he is 1.87 meters tall, and he can't tell if he falls.

The girl still didn't react, and continued to rub up, her right arm wrapped around his neck, and her left arm stretched forward lazily.

"Brother, I really can't walk anymore, you can carry me. The voice became squeamish, and the boy's heart slammed.

But it's not the sound, it's the rough workmanship and not even the round silver bracelet on the girl's left wrist and... The small peach-pink clip with pear petals she was holding in her hand.

"Brother, why don't you speak?" the girl also asked lazily, and the two small thin legs in the air swayed leisurely.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's that he can't say it. The man looked at the clip and stood as a sculpture.

The girl furrowed her eyebrows slightly, and was about to lift his hat when she was interrupted by a gentle voice behind her.

"Ren Zhen, what are you doing?" Brother Ren Zhen stood not far away in a little confusion, watching his sister hanging on a stranger's back leisurely.

Ren Zhen froze instantly, his legs stopped shaking, his head was raised, and he looked over through the reflection of the glass.

Standing behind you... It's her brother.

This time the person panicked, and jumped down from the other party with a flutter. The boy could drag her and let her fall to the ground steadily.

Under the flickering lights, Ren Zhen glanced left and right.

It's not that she's blind, it's that these two people are indeed wearing exactly the same clothes, but the shoes are different, but she just neglects her feet.

Damn the suit......

The air was quiet for a moment, and after a few seconds, the boy secretly sighed and turned around.

Ren Zhen had already run to stand beside his brother.

Before the boy could speak, his brother took the first step to apologize: "I'm sorry, my sister has been confused since she was a child, please forgive me." ”

The boy paused slightly, pulled the brim of his hat down, lowered his head a little, and said quietly, "It's okay." ”

Ren Zhen held his brother with one hand and his forearm with the other, like a child, shy and panicked: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

The boy smiled lightly: "It's okay." ”

Seeing the brother and sister leave, the boy couldn't pull his feet for a long time, and his heart sank a lot.

There were suddenly a few ghost crying wolf howls on the phone, and then he remembered that the phone hadn't hung up yet, so he held it up and put it to his ear, and his voice was dim: "I saw her." ”

"Who?!" The other party was inexplicably idle for a long time, and he was in a very bad mood.

"Ren Zhen. ”

The head immediately fell silent like a dead chicken, and for a moment, the voice was calm: "Does she recognize you?"

The boy smiled faintly: "No." ”

chapter1

The spring breeze is accompanied by a drizzle, and a layer of mist stretches endlessly along the long stone roads of the ancient town. In the early morning of March and a half, the air is still mixed with a hint of winter coldness, and there is still some distance from the real spring.

Here, there is no sleepless night under the neon lights, no crowds of boiling sky, and no noisy traffic.

Everything was peaceful and wonderful.

In the southwest corner of the ancient town, a large mansion looms in the forest. The house is built in the middle of the lake and is connected to the road by a long wooden bridge, as if it is a cross between reality and dreams.

On both sides of the thick and tall peach wood door, two stone lions are upright and mighty, and there is a plaque hanging on the door, which is written in gold ink, Yuexin Garden.

The garden is surrounded by high walls, and the red bricks and green tiles in the wall are continuous and brightly lit. Tall plane trees are lined up by the wall, with occasional branches sticking out and dotting the walls.

Yuexinyuan is a family of Peking Opera, and the old people in the ancient town say that the Jiang family who live in it are all reincarnators of immortal bones.

This season is when the pear blossoms are at their peak.

In Yuexin Garden, dozens of pear blossom trees are clustered together, and a large number of pear blossoms are white and tender.

9-year-old Ren Zhen is wearing a small lotus pink velvet jacket standing under the tree, the rain has stopped, and the pear blossoms on the tree are hanging with water droplets, like small crystals.

She has always stubbornly believed that the most beautiful pear blossoms in the world bloom in Yuexin Garden.

After a while, Ren Zhen suddenly lowered her little brain and sighed lowly, she missed her grandfather a little.

Ren Zhen's parents divorced not long after she was born and then reorganized their families, and she grew up with her grandfather in the hutongs of Beijing.

Three years ago, her grandfather was too ill to continue to take care of her, and her parents said they couldn't accept her.

Grandpa had no choice but to bring her to Sumire and Guzhen, and entrusted her to his best friend of life and death, the head of Yuexinyuan, Ren Zhen's grandfather.

Fortunately, everyone in the Jiang family loves her as their own, especially the little young master Jiang He of Yuexinyuan, who is only one year older than Ren Zhen, is a typical southern child, shy and introverted, and looks very delicate and smart.

On the day Jiang He first saw Ren Zhen, it happened to be May when the pear blossoms fell, she stood under the pear blossom tree and tilted her head, a pair of almond eyes flickered and curiously stared at the pear petals in the sky silly and cute.

That was also the first time Ren Zhen called him brother, Jiang He blushed after hearing this, Ren Zhen walked over and looked up at him: "Brother, are you so hot? What should you do in the summer?"

River: "......"

More than two months later, my grandfather died of illness, Ren Zhen cried every day because he couldn't accept it, the adults were collectively helpless, and my grandfather was even more anxious to sleep and eat.

Until one day, Jiang He, who had always had zero intersection with Ren Zhen, suddenly took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, brother is here." ”

Since then, Jiang He has become Ren Zhen's ironclad hero, staying by her side all the time, and gradually becoming a habit.

And Ren Zhen has slowly become dependent on Jianghe, as long as her brother is here, she is not afraid of anything.

……

After a gust of wind, Ren Zhen shivered, and the person withdrew from his sadness, holding his arms and two little feet on the grass.

After a moment, she suddenly stopped and folded her hands in front of the large pear blossom tree, closed her eyes and was very pious, and silently said in her heart: Pear Blossom Fairy, Pear Blossom Fairy, please bless Grandpa to a rich family in the next life, and no longer have to suffer. ”

After praying, Almond opened her eyes and watched a pear blossom blink and wink, which was the only thing she could do for her grandfather.

The branches of the pear tree swayed in the wind and collided with each other to make a rustling sound, as if there was really a pear blossom fairy, and she was doing something to help her wish come true.

Three days later, Ren Zhen ushered in one of the most important days of her life, apprenticeship with Jiang Hao to formally study Peking Opera.

Jiang Hao is Jiang He's sister, who just turned 22 years old this year, and works in Tsing Yi. Although she is not very old, her reputation has long been outside, and those who want to worship under her door can line up all the way to Beijing from the gate of Yuexin Garden.

But Jiang Hao prefers Ren Zhen alone, except that Ren Zhen is now her sister, the most important thing is that the little girl is born with a good voice and good understanding, so she is reluctant to give it to others as an apprentice.

Even a strict person like grandpa said that this child was born to sing music.

On the day of the apprenticeship, Ren Zhen wore clothes that Jiang He picked for her, and Jiang He looked even more nervous than her during the whole process, standing beside her grandfather and staring at Ren Zhen without a smile the whole time.

It wasn't until the apprenticeship ceremony was over that the adults dispersed, and Jiang He stood in front of Ren Zhen and looked down at her and smiled shyly.

Ren Zhen laughed stupidly twice, took Jiang He's hand and shook it: "Brother, I will be able to sing with you in the future, I will sing with my brother for the rest of my life." ”

……

More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the warm spring has come, and I thought I could enjoy the spring, but the terrible flu virus also shamelessly followed.

Ren Zhen's weak chicken body is really not resistant, and unfortunately won the bid, and has been lying at home for almost a week.

Jiang He would visit her once a day before school and spend almost all of his time with her after school.

After a few days of confusion, the little girl finally survived with her tenacious vitality.

At the beginning of the recovery from a serious illness, although the person is refreshed, the body still feels soft. Grandpa told her to continue to rest for a few days and go to school next week.

Recently, the sun has been good, Jiang He is not there, she is also bored, dangling in the Yuexin Garden of Nuoda, but she can't find a fun to relieve her boredom.

Elder brother... Ren Zhen shouted wildly in his heart, and hummed unconsciously in his mouth: "Come back soon~ Bring my thoughts back~ Don't let my heart be as empty as the sea~"

She stood on the corridor fence, speaking in the direction of the school.

Recently, he has been rebroadcasting the TV series "Dead and Blind", and Ren Zhen has to listen to the theme song twice a day, so he can sing it.

Jiang Hao likes Lu Yi super much, and said that the husband she wants to marry in the future must be as handsome as Lu Yi.

Ren Zhen: "......"

You just want to marry Lu Yi, sister, this is the daily life of the star chasers.

She still wants to marry Louis Koo in "The Condor Heroes"! Unfortunately, when she grows up, Louis Koo will already become an uncle.

Ay... Jun was born and I was not born, I was born and I was always talking about her and Gu Tianle.

Jiang Hao: "......"

Isn't my sister a little too precocious?

After walking around the garden for most of the day, seeing that the sun was not so energetic, Ren Zhen became excited, and the river would be able to get home immediately at this time.

She began to stagger back.

There are too many corridors and courtyards in Yuexin Garden to count, and it takes a while to come and go. But she was not in a hurry, thinking of pinching something to greet Jiang He and surprise him.

After all, when he left this morning, she was still a puddle of mud, and she hummed and asked her brother to come back early.

Seeing that he was about to walk to the gate of Yuexin Garden, Ren Zhen suddenly showed a thief's eyes on his cat's waist.

I didn't think that Jiang He had already returned, so I was standing under the pear blossom tree at the door, thinking about which one to fold for her.

She hasn't been able to get out of the bedroom door recently, but seeing that the pear blossoms are about to fall, Jiang He agreed to fold one and put it in the house for her to see.

Ren Zhen has always walked like a cat without making a sound at all, and she is ready to give him a surprise attack.

Seeing that she had come to her, she jumped and hung on the back of the river like a sloth in the blink of an eye.

"Brother, don't be surprised!" Ren Zhen wrapped his two hands around Jiang He's neck, although Jiang He was frightened for a moment, his hands were still wrapped around his back for the first time.

"Brother, I've been waiting for you for a day, I'm going to die of boredom! If you don't come back, I'm going to die of loneliness..."

Because she was too excited and enthusiastic, she didn't care at all that the face of the person carrying her was already extremely ugly, as if she was about to lose it anymore, and felt that she could be lifted on her back at any time.

"Ren Zhen. ”

“……”

A familiar voice came from behind him... Ren Zhen stopped all movement in an instant, and with the strength on "her brother's" shoulder, he stood up and slowly turned back... And then it was completely stiff.

Jiang He was standing on the steps of the door, looking at her with a panicked expression.

For a moment, her neck twisted back stiffly as if it were clockwork, and her gaze shifted slightly downward.

In the next second, she almost catapulted herself.
