Chapter 1 Oranges

Next Chapter

Zhang Chengming woke up with the sweet smell of oranges.

When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the face of a girl.

The girl was about ten years old, wearing a pair of dark red full-rim glasses, white and clean, very delicate, with very small and delicate facial features, and a few small pimples on her smooth forehead.

She was eating oranges, and the sweet hand-peeled oranges were peeled by her into petals.

A tingling pain that seemed to penetrate the soul came, Zhang Chengming fainted, and at the same time, in a small bungalow in a small town in England thousands of miles away, a young man sitting on the floor opened his eyes suddenly.

"Do you feel it?" Another young man sitting across from him asked.

"Grandpa Taizu, another part of my soul seems to have woken up."

"Okay, Chengming, you settle again, and I will help you establish contact with another part of your soul."

A halo of light slowly spread over the two of them, and a picture appeared above their heads. The scene changes rapidly, first at the gate of a university, then on the boulevard of the school, then on the dormitory buildings. In the end, the scene stays in a girls' dormitory.

There was a girl in the dormitory who was reading a book while eating oranges, and the small table lamp shone on the book and on the girl's face, which was peaceful and harmonious.

The halo cleared, and the two young men in the small bungalow opened their eyes.

"Chengming, I sensed that another part of your soul was in that book, and the seal had been broken by a third. There is a strong auspicious aura on that girl's body, although I don't know how an ordinary human can have such a powerful auspicious aura, but thanks to the auspicious aura on her body, the evil of the seal was suppressed, and a part of the seal was unsealed, so that we could sense that part of the soul. โ€

Zhang Chengming's face was a little pale, and he said, "Thank you Grandpa Taizu for your help, I will set off immediately, find the book, and unseal it." โ€

Zhang Haoyuan nodded and patted Zhang Chengming gently, "You only have two-thirds of your soul now, although my clan is strong, but there are also many enemies, you will go to the family to report first after returning to China, and be more careful along the way." โ€

Meng Xiaorui felt that today was a very smooth day, and a few days ago he wanted to buy a copy of "Administrative Law", but the new one was a little expensive, so he bought a second-hand one on the Internet. After receiving the book, I felt good, the book was eighty percent new, and some places made annotations and notes, clean and tidy. The title page of the book bears the name of the original owner.

"Zhang Chengming." Meng Xiaorui muttered the name.

The strokes of the character are hidden and sharp but majestic, and people can't help but imagine what the person who wrote the word looks like.

Sitting at the table, turning on the small table lamp, peeling an orange, and reading a book, Meng Xiaorui is very satisfied with this life.

Just satisfied, that's all.

Recently, Mom and Dad have been telling her to "relax and relax", and the thick worry on the other end of the phone almost made her cry.

Relax?

Probably she won't be able to relax for the rest of her life.

Eating a petal of orange, the sweet fragrance spreads in the mouth, the same taste, different mood.

Where are you, dear Chen? I'm waiting for you to peel oranges.

Where are you, dear Chen? If you don't want to peel an orange, I can peel it myself, just ask you to come back soon, I miss you so much.

I really miss you.

The love of youth is sweet, with a slight sourness, a mess of happiness, and the whole world is bright. However, no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or the unexpected, and no young heart can bear the weight of a life.

The same is true for Meng Xiaorui.

When Meng Xiaorui didn't know that there was a person named Chen Nian in the world, Chen Nian knew her.

After being together, once Meng Xiaorui asked Chen Nian on the phone: "How did you feel when you first saw me?" โ€

The old man on the other end of the phone laughed in a low voice: "Walk fast." โ€

"What?! Walking fast? Isn't it heartbeat and love at first sight? Meng Xiaorui pursed his lips and muttered indignantly.

In Meng Xiaorui's eyes, Chen Nian is the most patient person in the world. He will tolerate her little temperament, will slowly coax her, and can experience her every little affection.

Chen is tall, very white-looking, and behind black-rimmed glasses is a pair of big eyes that are always smiling and patient, and the calm and restrained temperament of a science student is undoubtedly reflected in him.

Chen Nian and Meng Xiaorui live in different communities on the same street, Meng Xiaorui has loved to read since he was a child, and he stayed at home to read books except for school, so he didn't know Chen Nian who lived on the same street until he went to boarding high school.

When she was a freshman in high school, she took the bus back home once a week, and after a long time, she became familiar with the old man who always helped her occupy a seat.

At the age when love first opened, slowly, naturally, they got together.

The first time to hold hands, the first time to hug, the first time to kiss...... Like most young couples, they look forward to seeing each other every day, and the whole world is sweet.

Meng Xiaorui loves to eat hand-peeled oranges, but she doesn't like to peel them herself, Chen Nian feels sorry for her, so she always peels oranges and other fruits and puts them in a food box to give them to Meng Xiaorui in the upstairs class.

The sweet orange fragrance permeated Meng Xiaorui's entire adolescence.

The college entrance examination is a long dividing line, and Meng Xiaorui, who had excellent grades, unexpectedly failed to do well in the exam, and only entered an ordinary university to study law. Chen Nian went to a very good university to study civil engineering.

One day in his freshman year, Meng Xiaorui excitedly took three days off, ran all the way to Chen Nian's school, and walked to the downstairs of Chen Nian's dormitory.

"Guess I'm there?"

Chen Nian was confused, "Canteen? โ€

"I'm downstairs with you!" Meng Xiaorui laughed, "Don't go downstairs and see me soon!" โ€

There was a loud sound on the other end of the phone, and after a while, the old man in a black coat hurried down.

Seeing the triumphant Meng Xiaorui, Chen Nian was happy and worried, and hugged Meng Xiaorui.

"I don't say it in advance, what if I get lost."

Meng Xiaorui was very proud, "That's what you want!" Isn't that a surprise? โ€

At that time, it was still March, and the cold air in early spring was still very strong, Meng Xiaorui came in order to see the old man, wearing a newly bought cashmere spring dress, leggings, and a long down jacket on the outside, shivering from the cold.

Chen Nian hugged Meng Xiaorui tightly.

That day was the third year they had been together, the fourth year that Meng Xiaorui had known Chen Nian, and the seventh year that Chen Nian had known Meng Xiaorui.

Really, aging has changed Meng Xiaorui.

Before meeting Chen, Meng Xiaorui spoke very little, holding a book and not talking for an afternoon, after meeting Chen, Meng Xiaorui's world became more exciting, and he could chat with Chen Nian all day.

Chen Nian often said: "You are always like this, how can I not like you?" โ€

I like you, blame you for being too beautiful.

The prince and princess in the fairy tale ended up living happily ever after, and Meng Xiaorui often thought that she would also live a long and happy life with Chen Nian.

Until that day, a qiฤ“ shattered and ruined miรจ.
