Yan Jiayang seemed to be pleased by Qin Mengshi's expression, and smiled even more happily. Since meeting Yan Jiayang, Qin Mengshi has never seen him smile so happily.

"Looks like you're remembering." Yan Jiayang said in an affirmative tone.

Qin Mengshi returned her arms to her knees, and after coming back to her senses, she slowly shook her head, her voice was very low, "It's not that I think about it, I have never forgotten him." After the Xinming Orphanage was closed, I asked my mother to help me find him, but after looking for a long time, there was no news of him. Xiaoxiao was my best friend when I was a kid, how could I have forgotten him! ”

Qin Mengshi's chin rested on her knees, she lowered her head and sighed sadly, completely ignoring the fire and light that flashed in the eyes of the man opposite.

How long Qin Mengshi was trapped in her memories, Yan Jiayang looked at her like that. It wasn't until Qin Mengshi remembered Yan Jiayang and Yan Jiayang's words flashed in his mind that he suddenly raised his head and looked at him in surprise and disbelief, frowning and exclaiming, "You said I don't remember you?" You don't mean to say you're smiling, are you? ”

Yan Jiayang leaned on the sofa, unconsciously turned the cigarette case on the table with one hand, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What's the problem?" Before I was eight years old, I was really smiling. ”

After hearing Yan Jiayang's answer, Qin Mengshi's brows furrowed even deeper. She looked at the man in front of her, trying to compare him to the one she remembered. But Qin Mengshi tried for a long time, but it was in vain.

Because she suddenly realized that she didn't remember what Xiaoxiao looked like in her memory. In her mind, there is only one outline of a smile, which seems to match anyone's face, but it is awkward to put anyone's face on it.

Qin Mengshi just looked at Yan Jiayang, her mood was heavy, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Because Yan Jiayang can know Xiaoxiao, there are only two possibilities.

The first is, as he himself says, he just laughs. Facing such an old friend who had not seen him for many years, even if he had been so good, Qin Mengshi still didn't know what tone to greet him. But I don't know how to get along, Qin Mengshi is also happy, because she found Xiaoxiao.

But if it is the second type, Yan Jiayang is not smiling, but he knows about smiling, he must have done a deep investigation of himself. Of course, he doesn't investigate himself for no reason, so what exactly does he want to do? What is he that deserves such a lot of trouble? You know, she and Xiaoxiao are good friends, and not many people know about it.

Looking at Qin Mengshi's vigilant eyes, Yan Jiayang's expression did not change at all, and he said very understandingly: "I understand your concerns, an old friend from more than ten years ago suddenly appeared, and no one else dared to believe it easily." In this way, you can ask me questions casually, ask things that only you and Xiaoxiao know, and if I answer them correctly, it means that I am. Is that possible? ”

For some reason, after hearing this sentence, a picture suddenly popped up in Qin Mengshi's mind, very vague, but very clear.

Xiaoxiao, who grew up, was tied to a wooden post, the whip kept whipping on his body, and someone kept asking him about his childhood, Xiaoxiao couldn't stand the torture, so he had to say it all.

Qin Mengshi couldn't help but shudder, and secretly sighed that her imagination was too rich. However, there was still a voice in her heart reminding her that the kind of speculation just now was not out of the question.

Straightening up, Qin Mengshi looked at Yan Jiayang seriously and asked, "Xiaoxiao has a mole on her arm, which arm is it?" ”

Yan Jiayang shook his head and said without pressure: "There is no mole on the arm, but there is one on the inside of the knee of the left leg." ”

Qin Mengshi raised her eyebrows, Yan Jiayang was right.

Xiaoxiao never wore long pants, and if his pants hadn't been broken by other children, she wouldn't have seen the mole on his leg. This question can prove that Yan Jiayang does know Xiaoxiao, at least he has seen it.

"Do you still like it to be sweet?"

"I've never liked sweet, and I don't like sour." Yan Jiayang's eyes seemed to have fallen into a memory, and there was a trend surging, "Children who grew up in orphanages are not qualified to have preferences, and they can't be picky eaters, otherwise they won't be full." ”

Qin Mengshi could see that there was a story in Yan Jiayang's eyes. I just don't know if it's a story of laughter.

Qin Mengshi was afraid that Yan Jiayang would grasp the idea of his own problem, so he changed his way of thinking and said: "I love to bully and smile, I remember that his face was scratched by me, I have always been afraid that his face will have a scar, I look at you now," said Qin Mengshi looked at Yan Jiayang's face carefully, and looked at it for a long time before continuing: "There is no scar on the face, then I will be relieved." ”

Yan Jiayang stretched out his hand and touched the top of his left eyebrow, "It's true that there is no scar, it was not there a long time ago." Actually, I wish I could have left a scar. ”

Qin Mengshi saw that Yan Jiayang touched the place where she had scratched, and chuckled, "You are stupid, what's so good about being disfigured?" ”

Yan Jiayang also smiled, "Isn't it good?" He looked up at Qin Mengshi, his eyes were dark, "At that time, I was worried that there would be a scar on my face, so I kept hugging you and crying, and I was arguing with you, so I promised me that if I couldn't marry a daughter-in-law because of this scar in the future, you would marry me." ”

Of course, Qin Mengshi remembered that she had said this, and at that time she was only six or seven years old, so how did she know what it meant to marry. It was only when she saw that the children laughed at him that he would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law if he had a scar on his face, and he kept crying, no matter how he coaxed him, she said such a promise.

"It's good that you don't have a scar, otherwise I would have to work part-time as a matchmaker to help you find a wife." Qin Mengshi quipped.

Yan Jiayang shook his head, "I don't need you to be a matchmaker." "All I want is you.

"Haha, it looks like you already have someone in your heart!" Qin Mengshi smiled smilingly.

Yan Jiayang didn't continue the topic anymore, looked at Qin Mengshi and asked, "You don't ask anymore?" ”

Qin Mengshi shook her head, no need to ask again. Whether Yan Jiayang is smiling or not, he knows these questions, and he must know the rest, and there is no point in asking any more.

Yan Jiayang looked at Qin Mengshi with a wry smile, "You still don't believe me?" ”

"Believe, why not? Didn't you answer all my questions? Qin Meng said with sincerity and sincerity, his eyes were swollen.

"Really? But in your eyes, I see only doubt. ”

Listening to Yan Jiayang's calm tone, Qin Mengshi secretly said that she was still too tender! But even if you see what you really think in your heart, you can't admit it.

She put down her legs, walked aside, took out two bottles of yogurt from the refrigerator, handed one to Yan Jiayang, and said as if chattering: "You hated it when you were a child, you have to like what I like." Although I have grown up now, I believe that this little problem of yours has not changed, this is my favorite yogurt, you can also try it. ”

According to Qin Mengshi's inference, looking at Yan Jiayang's current suit and leather shoes, he must be like Huo Tianyu, never touching such things as yogurt snacks.

But unexpectedly, after Yan Jiayang took the yogurt, he directly tore the paper skin on it, raised his neck and began to drink. Since Qin Mengshi was holding a small bottle, Jiayang drank it all after two or three mouthfuls, and then began to lick the essence condensed on the paper skin.

Qin Mengshi was stunned as she watched from the sidelines, Yan Jiayang's actions were smooth, and she was not slow at all compared to her, and it was clearly not the first time she had drunk it.

Qin Mengshi later tore off the paper of the yogurt in her hand, in fact, what surprised her even more was that in addition to Yan Jiayang's skillful movements, the process between him and milk was exactly the same as herself.

Although there are only a few ways to drink yogurt, there are not a few people who lick the paper skin. But she Chu Ran once told her that she was the only girl Chu Ran had ever seen who had taken two sips without a straw.

But just now watching Yan Jiayang drink yogurt, Qin Mengshi wanted to say that the cheesy movement of drinking yogurt with her neck up was made so elegantly, and Yan Jiayang was the only one she had ever seen.

Qin Mengshi took a sip of yogurt, and saw that Yan Jiayang had already thrown the cleaned yogurt bottles and paper sheets into the trash, so he asked suspiciously, "Can you eat sour now?" ”

Yan Jiayang stretched out his hand and took out a piece of paper on the table, wiped his mouth slowly, and threw away the tissue before he said: "There is nothing that cannot be eaten, sometimes even if you don't like it very much, after trying to touch it, you will find that it is actually quite good." ”

In fact, where would a person make so many attempts for no reason, it's just that Qin Mengshi likes something, he has to like something, and he hasn't changed it so far, and he doesn't want to change it.

Qin Mengshi believed it, and nodded with deep understanding, she had thought that stinky tofu smelled very stinky before, and it must be very stinky to eat. But after Chu Ran's stage of infection, she gradually liked the taste. Now she is the number one fan of stinky tofu, the kind that is more professional than Chu Ran.

After Qin Mengshi finished drinking the yogurt in the same way as Yan Jiayang, she suddenly remembered something, looked at Yan Jiayang and asked, "Are you really sure that I told you about the office?" ”

"How else do you think I can know?" Yan Jiayang's expression was frank, and Qin Mengshi couldn't see a trace of abnormality. I don't know if he's too good at hiding, she's too shallow, or if she's really forgotten.

Qin Mengshi quietly planted a seed of doubt in her heart, and turned this one over for the time being.

"Maybe I was in a daze at the time, and I don't remember what I said." Qin Mengshi scratched her head and smirked.

Yan Jiayang was noncommittal.

"By the way, a few days after the Xinming Orphanage was disbanded, I happened to go to my grandmother's house with my mother, and when I came back, there was no one there. I've asked a lot of people in the neighborhood, and no one knows about you. Where have you been all these years? ”

Qin Mengshi is really concerned about this problem, she once told Xiaoxiao that she would beg her mother to let her mother adopt him, so that they could play all the time in the future.

At that time, they were all young and did not know that adopting a child required conditions, and Ruan Meng obviously did not meet the conditions. But Ruan Meng was soft-hearted and reluctant to make the two children sad, so he kept telling them that it was soon, it was soon. She didn't know that the more she delayed, the more hope grew in the hearts of her two children. But who knows, all hope will come to naught in a matter of days.

After not being able to find a smile, the young Qin Mengshi also had a quarrel with her mother for a while. She felt that it was all her own fault, and if they had brought Xiaoxiao home earlier, they wouldn't have gotten no news from him. She was afraid that he would have no place to live, that he would be hungry, that he would be taken away by bad people. But she couldn't do anything but worry.

Later, when she grew up, she understood her mother's hard work, and also knew that there are always some things in this world that are not caused by God.

She expected to see Xiaoxiao again, and when she expected to see him again, he was well-dressed, in a suit and leather shoes, and his whole body was bubbling with happiness. But she never had the luxury of expecting it, because the probability of meeting again in the vast sea of people is too small.

But the world is really impermanent, and now she really sees Xiaoxiao again, and Xiaoxiao is living well as she expected. However, she didn't dare to admit it, she couldn't believe that he was just smiling.

Yan Jiayang looked at Qin Mengshi as if she was sad and happy, her constantly changing expression, and what she was thinking in her heart was not much different from Qin Mengshi.

If Qin Mengshi hadn't left in those days, or if she had come back earlier, would he have been able to wait for her in the heavy rain, would he not have been taken away in a daze, would he not have had those years of life that was worse than death, and would he not have the hard work and success he has now?

He didn't know.

But he was sure that if he did it all over again, he would still be waiting for her at the door of the orphanage. No matter how full the sun is, how heavy the rain is. He just wants to wait for her, even if he will do nothing in this life, as long as he is by her side, he is willing.

Because she was the only person who gave him warmth in his entire childhood, and she was also the belief that supported him to survive in that devil-like life, and she was the woman he had been thinking about for twenty years.

He never forgot for a moment that he loved her.
