"Chu Qiu, after a while, you can take Xia Xia home first!" Yi Mengrong touched his downward head and turned his head to Chu Qiu and said.

"Mom, are you going to work after eating?" Xia Xia held her face with both hands, tilted her head, and looked at Yi Mengrong with her eyes smashing and smashing.

"That's right, you will obediently accompany Aunt Chu Qiu to play at home this afternoon." Yi Mengrong replied with a smile.

I remember when I used to eat here. Qiao An innocently said to Qin Xinghao that she would also come here to eat with him and her children in the future. At that time, it was said that maybe this store no longer exists.

"Mom, eat this, this is delicious......" Xia Xia was eating happily on the side, like a little gluttonous cat, so energetic that she sent something to her mouth, and she didn't forget to feel sorry for her mother.

The three of them had a good time eating in the small hot pot, and Yi Mengrong hadn't eaten so easily for a long time.

"Boss, pay the bill."

After eating and drinking, Yi Mengrong walked to the cashier to prepare for the checkout, and the boss took a delicate small box from the cabinet and came out.

"Miss Yi, you don't have to pay for this meal, Mr. Qin has already paid for you." The boss handed the box to Yi Mengrong and said, "This is what Mr. Qin has asked me to personally hand over to you." ”

Yi Mengrong looked confused, she didn't understand how Qin Xinghao helped her pay, and she didn't know what was in that box?

"What is this?" She took the box suspiciously.

"Mr. Qin said, maybe you will come to the store to eat one day, and he will pay for all your expenses here, these things have been in the store for seven years, and they are finally returned to their original owners." The boss smiled and pointed to the box in Yi Mengrong's hand and said.

Yi Mengrong looked at the boss, with questions in her heart, she slowly opened the box with curiosity, and it turned out to be ......

Yi Mengrong suddenly covered his mouth, and tears overflowed from his eyes.

There are stacks of post-it notes neatly stacked in the box, all of which are notes left when he and Qin Xinghao came to eat in this store seven years ago, with blessings, complaints, blames, and concerns......

The post-it notes overlapped according to the date, and every time she came here to eat, Yi Mengrong would pull Qin Xinghao to write a post-it note, and then ask Qin Xinghao to stick it high enough on the wall, each one was a memory.

Yi Mengrong took out each post-it note, her eyes were full of tears, and the little ring at the bottom of the box came into view, which was the ring given to her by Qin Xinghao seven years ago.

"How did it end up in here?" Yi Mengrong was puzzled.

This ring is the engagement ring given to her by Qin Xinghao seven years ago, time has passed, she has always kept it on her body, until the last time she arranged for Zijia to kidnap her, in order to leave a message, she was forced to throw the ring in the abandoned factory, but when she went back to look for it, she couldn't find anything.

"It was Mr. Qin who put it in, he said that the lost things should always be recovered, and in the past few years that you have been away, Mr. Qin has bothered to find you." The boss said earnestly.

Yi Mengrong held the ring up and looked at it carefully in the bright light, as if she had thought of something, and put the ring back in the box.

"Thank you boss for taking care of me for many years, this is probably the last time I will come here to eat." Yi Mengrong stood at the front desk with the box and said to the restaurant owner with a smile, "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I hope the store is doing a prosperous business." ”

"Miss Yi, you're polite."

Yi Mengrong nodded with a smile, and after saying goodbye to the boss, he turned his head to look at Xia Xia and Chu Qiu who were standing on the side.

"Chu Qiu, you take Xia Xia back first," Yi Mengrong said.

"Okay, call me if you have anything." Chu Qiu was a little worried, feeling that something was wrong with Yi Mengrong's mood.

"Mom, you have to come back early." Xia Xia ran over and pulled the corner of Yi Mengrong's clothes and said.

Yi Mengrong touched Xia Xia's head, smiled and nodded to her, "Mom will come back in the evening to make something for you to eat."

Yi Mengrong motioned with his eyes to Chu Qiu to leave with Xia Xia.

"Xia Xia, let's go, let's go home and wait for mom first, okay?" Chu Qiu stepped forward and grabbed Xia Xia's hand and said.

After saying goodbye to the hotel owner, Yi Mengrong followed Xia Xia and walked out.

It's still early in the morning and the weather is nice.

After Chu Qiu took a taxi to take Xia Xia home, Yi Mengrong drove to the apartment by the river.

Along the way, her mind felt a little blank, and she remembered the good memories contained in that delicate box.

"Yi Mengrong, don't think about it, don't think about it. You're leaving here tomorrow and never coming back. Yi Mengrong said to himself while driving the car.

Yi Mengrong always relied on this self-paralyzing way to remind himself not to let himself fall into that relationship again. Even if she really can't let go of everything here at all.

Time always slips away without you noticing, and before you know it, you are in the apartment by the river, and Yi Mengrong begins to slow down and slowly stops the car.

Yi Mengrong got out of the car and walked forward and knocked on the door, but no one answered, she rang the doorbell again, and the door was still tightly closed.

"Strange, is there no one at home?" Yi Mengrong put down his hand and muttered to himself, "Hasn't the housekeeper been at home all along?" ”

Yi Mengrong frowned, stood at the door, and rang the doorbell again, but there was still no sound. Seeing that it was almost three o'clock, she took out her mobile phone and prepared to make a call to Qin Xinghao.

The horn suddenly sounded, it was Qin Xinghao's car.

Yi Mengrong not only held the phone tighter, she took a deep breath, and then silently said to herself, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be nervous." ”

Qin Xinghao walked over with steady steps, and saw Yi Mengrong standing at the door, although it was expected, there was also some disbelief.

"Did you come so early?" Qin Xinghao walked up the stairs, stood at the door and said to Yi Mengrong, "The housekeeper won't be here for a while, there is something at home, so he asked me for a few days off and went home." ”

Qin Xinghao took out the key from his trouser pocket, opened the door and pulled out the key.

"Get your hands out." Qin Xinghao took the key. Turning to Yi Mengrong and said.

Yi Mengrong looked at him blankly, and slowly raised his hand.

"Put it away!" Qin Xinghao put the key in her hand and said softly.

Yi Mengrong looked at the key in his hand, he had some doubts, he didn't know what to say, but he still put the key in his pocket.

In the days when the housekeeper was away, the huge apartment seemed even more empty, and Yi Mengrong followed Qin Xinghao into the house.

Maybe it's because he's used to living here, Yi Mengrong completely let go of the sense of restraint in his heart.
