There is a saying in Yi Lan's hometown that there is a horizontal pattern running through the three main lines of the word "Chuan" on the palm of the hand, which is called "broken palm", and it will be very painful to hit someone with a broken palm.

Mu Jiangrong is a broken palm, he likes to sneak behind Peng Xinxin's back and pat her on the back unexpectedly. Because Peng Xinxin would be so frightened that he screamed, he ran to hide behind Yi Lan, which was very funny.

Mu Jiangrong also likes to bully Coco, she will bring some novel gadgets to school from time to time, Mu Jiangrong will snatch it as long as she sees it, and she is so angry that Coco chases after him, but in the end, it is Yilan who helps her come back.

Mu Jiangrong has bullied almost the female classmates in the class, but he will not bully Yi Lan, even if she embarrasses him in public.

Even when he was in martial arts class, Yi Lan clamped Mu Jiangrong's neck with his calf, making him unable to break free, he just smiled and would never be angry with her. But if it was another classmate who did this, I was afraid that he would have been angry a long time ago.

The students in the school, including the teacher, were polite to Mu Jiangrong, because his father was a great general, and only Yi Lan was an exception. The only student on campus who dared to fight with Mu Jiangrong was Yilan. She didn't think that the general's son was anything remarkable. However, they only fought once in the first grade of elementary school.

One fall, the school hired gardeners to prune the branches around the playground. Mu Jiangrong found Yi Lan, who was sitting in the classroom reading, and ran away as soon as he pulled her up.

When he came to the playground, Mu Jiangrong instructed Yi Lan to work with him, dragged the freshly pruned branches from all over the place and piled them together, and asked Yi Lan to collect clean leaves and spread them on top of the branches. They ran happily around the playground and made a large, tall, thick, and soft mat out of branches and leaves.

Mu Jiangrong pulled Yi Lan and lay on it side by side, the cushion under him exuding the fragrance of leaves. Although it was late autumn, the afternoon sun was still warm. Yi Lan looked at the sky and suddenly saw that the sunlight turned into a golden circle. Wherever the circles touched, they turned golden. Mu Jiangrong crossed his legs, holding a leaf in his mouth, and spun back and forth with his teeth on the petiole, and the leaves flew up on the corners of his mouth, which was very beautiful.

The golden circle touched the leaves, revealing a golden butterfly. The golden circle touched Mu Jiangrong again, and Mu Jiangrong also turned golden.

Many years later, Iran still thinks back to that autumn afternoon and still feels that everything is golden, as if the golden circle once touched her memories and turned them golden. It seems that Mu Jiangrong whispered in her ear at that time, "This is the kingdom we built together, I am the king, and you are the queen." ”

But it seems that Mu Jiangrong didn't say anything. It's too old, and Yi Lan can't tell which ones in her memories are really what happened, and which ones are just her imagination.

After entering middle school, Yi Lan and Mu Jiangrong are still in the same school, but in different classes. Sometimes when they met on campus, Mu Jiangrong would deliberately pin his head and pretend not to see her. Yi Lan didn't know why, and when she met again, she pretended not to see Mu Jiangrong. The three years of junior high school passed in a hurry in the countless brushes of the two of them.

After high school, Yi Lan never saw Mu Jiangrong on campus again. Later, I heard that it was the general who was transferred to Beijing, and the whole family moved away. A new environment, new classmates, and three years of high school have passed in a flash, and Mu Jiangrong has become a full stop in Yilan's childhood memories, only occasionally appearing in her dreams.

The first time they met in college, Yi Lan was surprised and delighted, she thought of a very old-fashioned sentence, and she was destined to be in the dark. It's just that although they are of the same school and the same level, they are not in the same department. From Yi Lan's biology department to Mu Jiangrong's physics department, even the distance in a straight line is three or four kilometers, not to mention the twists and turns on the campus. In addition, the courses they study are different, and it is rare for the two of them to have a chance to get together, so they just seem to be slightly closer than other classmates.

The place where they meet the most is in the school cafeteria. Since she was a child, Yi Lan has liked to eat everything stuffed with food, except for lamb belly and lamb brain. Therefore, she pays close attention to the recipes published by each department every week, looking for good food everywhere, instead of eating in the department's cafeteria honestly like most of the other students. Steamed buns, dumplings, wontons, glutinous rice balls, meatballs, egg dumplings, these stuffed delicacies will remind Yilan of the taste of home.

Yi Lan gradually discovered that Mu Jiangrong was like her, and would not be too far away to chase food, shuttling between various restaurants. The difference is that Yi Lan runs back and forth on two legs, but Mu Jiangrong rides the most popular retro bicycle given to him by his sister at that time, flying around the campus, which is very eye-catching.

Yi Lan would meet Mu Jiangrong in the restaurant a few times a week, and the two of them would sit together, chatting casually while eating. There have been many chance encounters, and Yi Lan will have a faint expectation in her heart on the way to the restaurant, and if she really meets Mu Jiangrong, she will also have a little joy.

Not long after the start of her junior year, Yi Lan received a call from her mother, informing her grandmother that she was seriously ill and asked her to return quickly. Iran submitted a leave of absence to the school and went home to take care of her grandmother. Mu Jiangrong often sends messages to greet his grandmother and comfort Yi Lan.

Grandma's condition is getting worse and worse, and Yi Lan has to rub her grandmother's body, massage, and sit on the edge of the bed to read to her grandmother. She had neither time nor mood to look at her phone and reply to Mu Jiangrong's message.

It wasn't until after her grandmother's death that Yi Lan sent a message back to Mu Jiangrong, "The person who loves me the most in the world has left." This sentence is very old-fashioned, but some of the pain is indescribable. I really want to go with my grandmother and be with her forever. ”

"Don't say stupid things!" Mu Jiangrong only replied with four short words, and there has been no news since then.

This summer, because of the death of her grandmother, Iran had a terrible life. Fortunately, there are a large number of books left by her grandmother, which helped her survive the most difficult period. Mother felt that the books were too much space and that she had to throw them all away.

Yi Lan refused, so she stayed in the study every day to tidy up. In the book, there is the breath of grandma, recording the years that grandma has gone through, as well as the happy childhood that Yilan and grandma spent together. She wiped the dust off the books with a cotton cloth, wrapped them in sulfuric acid paper, wrote labels, and packed them in sealed boxes.

She was going to take all the books with her to her future home and be with her for the rest of her life. It's like grandma's emotions and thoughts are contained in the words in the book, no matter when, as long as you open it to read, grandma will come out of the book and accompany her.

Sometimes, Yi Lan would also stop for a while to tidy up, pick up a book, and lean back on the chaise longue like her grandmother. But she was not reading, but closed her eyes, from the book, the recliner, felt the breath of her grandmother, imagined that her grandmother was on the recliner, holding her in her arms, reading to her.

After returning to school, Yi Lan never met Mu Jiangrong in the cafeteria again. After all, she was just a little more intimate than other classmates, and she didn't go to the physics department to inquire about Mu Jiangrong, and she didn't want to turn herself into another laughing stock.

Yi Lan has never gossiped and laughed at the girls who were rejected by Mu Jiangrong with other classmates. They're just braver than themselves. How can it be a sin to fall in love with someone, even if the other person is high, the son of a general.

Graduation, graduate school entrance examination, doctoral study, and work, it seems that the older you get, the faster time flies. This period was interspersed with several brief romances of Ilan. Soon after she fell in love, her boyfriend's identity would become, her ex-boyfriend Coco's current boyfriend, and then quickly become one of Coco's many unnamed ex-boyfriends, and they would never have anything to do with their lives.

But there has never been a relationship that really hurt Yi Lan, she looked at the men who had sworn to her, sitting opposite her, saying earthy love words to please Coco, no matter on her face or in her heart, there was not a trace of waves. Perfunctory, why not for her?

No matter how far you go, no matter how hurried your life is, or how messy it is, you always have to go home to accompany your parents during the New Year. Yi Lan will also take advantage of the Spring Festival holiday to go back to the elementary school campus for a walk, especially the corner where she must go home from school, where she will stand for a while.

In countless dreams, she saw Mu Jiangrong standing there, looking at her with a warm and unruly smile. Yi Lan was eager to ask where he had been all these years. But every time, as soon as she was ready to open her mouth, she would immediately wake up from her dream.

Since you can't ask in your dreams, it's better to try your luck in reality, if there is really a fateful arrangement.

Should it be said that the hard work pays off, or is it really providential? During the Spring Festival of that year, Yi Lan not only got the news of Mu Jiangrong, but also knew it thoroughly, from the summer of the three major years to the present, where Mu Jiangrong was every day and what he was doing, she knew everything at once.
