Chapter 182: If Life Is Only as First Seen
I bought this gift when I was in France, but I never found the opportunity to give it to her.
After returning from France, he took it with him everywhere he went.
After seeing her at the charity gala last time, Lin Jinyao thought that he would never be able to give this gift out in his life, but he didn't expect to meet her here today.
Maybe this is providence!
Although she was very reluctant, she still had to let go of her, "Momo, let's see if you like the gift I gave." ”
"Okay." Su Mo took the box, and after opening it, a smile froze on his face, and his eyes suddenly became unnatural.
Inside, in the black flannel, the diamonds exude a unique, dazzling brilliance.
He even gave her a diamond ring.
"Brother Jin, I can't accept this gift." Su Mo returned the box, this gift was too expensive, and it was very inappropriate for her current status.
Lin Jinyao looked at the box that was returned, the expression on his face stiffened slightly, and then smiled calmly.
"Momo, I didn't mean anything else to give you this, I just remembered that you had been pestering me to give you a ring before, so I ......"
"That's different."
Su Mo interrupted him and looked at him very seriously, "I used to think that we would get married when we grew up, so I wanted you to give me a ring."
But you say that the ring represents a man's promise and can only be given at the time of the proposal. ”
She's right, this ring is seven years late, and everything is different.
Lin Jinyao lowered his eyes and asked her, "If I say that I am proposing to you now, will you agree?"
Momo, would you still like to marry me? ”
Crash!
The coffee cup at hand hit the plate, and the coffee was poured on the cake, just like Su Mo's mood at the moment.
At that moment, there was a moment of heartbeat, and a voice in his head was saying, promise him.
It's like, I saw the green grass again.
The girl was wearing a floral princess dress, sitting on a swing in the park, dangling two white and tender little short legs, looking at the boy drawing on the grass.
"Brother Jin, you have to paint others beautifully!"
Faintly, you can still hear the boy's beautiful voice, drifting in the breeze and drizzle.
Click, click.
Why is it raining all of a sudden?
The girl on the swing looked up, and the rain hit her face, so icy, so cold.
The world seemed to lose its voice, and the whole park was suddenly empty, and at that moment, a trace of panic crawled through the girl's heart, and she hurriedly jumped off the swing.
She cried helplessly, her grandfather, her father and mother, her aunt, her brother Jin, all gone.
The time in my memory seems to be stuck forever in that summer.
Su Mo's clenched fingers turned white, and she heard herself say three words, "I'm sorry!" ”
If it was seven years ago, when everything had not happened, she would definitely agree to Lin Jinyao's marriage proposal immediately, because at that time, she dreamed of being his bride.
But now, she was not happy at all.
obviously did not refuse, but it was more cruel than directly refusing.
Lin Jinyao's heart was pinched together, and a far-fetched smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Actually, the person who should say I'm sorry is me, if I hadn't forgotten you, we wouldn't have become like this." ”
In this matter, the most injured person is actually Lin Jinyao.
Who would have thought that Mrs. Lin would be so extreme, in order to force her son to forget the girl she loves, she would find someone to hypnotize his memory.
Such Lin Jinyao even made her feel pitiful, Su Mo didn't know how to face him, stood up and said, "Brother Jin, I want to go back." ”
Before that, Lin Jinyao had been lowering his eyes, his gaze resting on the rejected box.
It wasn't until he heard her words that he slowly raised his head, still the gentle and handsome appearance in Su Mo's memory.
The corners of his mouth with a light smile were impeccable, and he asked politely, "Let's go after lunch!" Since you refuse to accept my gift, at least let me be the host and invite you to a meal. ”
Dine? Right now?
Feeling that she had been eating all morning, Su Mo looked down at her watch, it was already noon, and she was going to go to Xiao Nanye to eat together.
Thinking of that eldest young master, Su Mo had a headache, he would definitely be angry if he hadn't been there for so long.
"Brother Jin, I'm really leaving, if you eat, let's do it next time!" Su Mo really didn't have the courage to look at Lin Jinyao's expression, she knew that he must be very disappointed in herself.
He turned to leave, but was pulled by him.
His gaze moved slowly from the hands of the two of them overlapping each other, until he crashed into his expectant eyes, "It's only today, can't it belong to me?" ”
Su Mo's heart trembled fiercely, Lin Jinyao was very fond of her in the past, but he also had his pride, she had never seen him begging like this.
The fragility made people can't bear to refuse, her eyes flashed, and she heard herself say, "Actually, I'm not in such a hurry." ”
Hearing her answer, the gloom on Lin Jinyao's face suddenly dissipated, and he said with a smile: "I'll call to book a seat immediately." ”
They went to a French restaurant, and the decoration style in the restaurant was very reminiscent of the old days, when they studied abroad together in France.
While eating, there was some accident in the restaurant.
The restaurant staff explained that there was a table of guests who were newlyweds, and this was where the man proposed successfully.
They regard this place as a place where they are married, so they have just come back from their honeymoon and come to relive the sweetness.
The gentleman was a very romantic man, and he gave the prepared gifts to the restaurant staff in advance, and gave them to his wife under the guise of their hands.
Until the time of leaving, the beautiful bride was still in the dark, thinking that she was really so lucky that she could get the lucky prize of the restaurant.
Looking at her with a happy smile on her face as she hugged the roses and left, Lin Jinyao sighed lightly and said with great annoyance, "Why didn't I think of such a good way?" ”
Swept by his resentful eyes, Su Mo's heart jumped, and he hurriedly lowered his head to eat.
When he came out of the restaurant, Su Mo asked him, "Brother Jin, where is your car parked?" I'll send you there. ”
"My car was sent in for maintenance yesterday." Lin Jinyao looked at the endless flow of the road, and his voice was a little tired.
Su Mo looked at the time, it was this time, and he didn't know if Xiao Nan had eaten on time at night.
was hesitating how to explain to him the reason why he was late, when he heard Lin Jinyao say, "If you have something, go first!" I can take a taxi back by myself. ”
As soon as someone else invited her to dinner, she left people on the side of the road, Su Mo couldn't do such a thing, although this kind of relationship was embarrassing.
Su Mo kicked the stone under his feet, turned his head to look at him and asked, "Where are you going?" I'll send you. ”
Lin Jinyao looked at her with deep eyes, as if he didn't care, and said, "The place I'm going to is a little far, won't it delay your time?" ”
Su Mo shook his head and said, "Let's go!" ”
Lin Jinyao didn't lie to her, the place he was going to was really a bit far.
The car gradually moved away from the city and drove to a remote rich area, and when it finally stopped, looking at the school gate in front of him, Su Mo's mood was very complicated.
Lin Jinyao looked at the complicated expression on her face, "Do you remember here?" ”
Of course, I remember that in this school, there are the best memories of her childhood.
The footsteps behind him were approaching, Su Mo didn't look back, but asked him rhetorically, "Why did you suddenly think of coming here?" ”
"Maybe it's unwilling!" Always trying to get back something that was lost.
Lin Jinyao walked over to her lightly and said to herself, "I wonder if the cherry blossom tree behind the playground is still there?" ”
Hearing this, Su Mo's body was slightly stunned, the cherry blossom tree behind the playground used to be her favorite thing in this elementary school.
Does he still remember what happened for so long?
Lin Jinyao didn't wait for Su Mo, but when he walked to the school gate, he slowed down and asked her, "Do you want to go in and have a look?" ”
After speaking, without waiting for Su Mo to answer, he smiled and said, "Actually, I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know if this place has changed." ”
More than ten years have passed, how can it remain the same?
Looking at Lin Jinyao's back, Su Mo hesitated, but still followed.
At this time, the students are all in the classroom, and the whole campus is quiet, and only a pair of backs can be seen side by side.
The road from the school building to the playground passes through a forest of cherry blossoms, and every spring, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the campus is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
This road is still the way it is in memory, I don't know how many times I have walked back and forth?
I didn't expect that after many years, I would be able to relive the road I walked at that time.
This afternoon, they walked for a long time.
They walked through the school building, through the library, through the playground...... I have traveled to almost every corner of the school, but I have never been able to get back the feeling I had at the beginning.
The bell of the end of school echoed over the campus, and at that time, they were standing on the steps at the entrance of the swimming pool, looking at the cute smiling faces of the children.
"Let's go!" She looked at Lin Jinyao's back and whispered.
Obviously seeing the lonely back tremble, she pretended not to see it, turned around and walked towards the school gate.
When I came out of school, it was already late, and the night was falling over City A.
When he entered, she followed him, and when he came out, he walked very slowly, and kept silently watching her back from behind, as if trying to find some of his former shadows.
The car was also parked on the side of the road, with a ticket under the windshield wiper.
Su Mo took the ticket down, turned to Lin Jinyao and said, "Brother Jin, it's not too early, I'll send you back!" ”
Although he was forced to leave for so many years, many things have already been imprinted in his heart.
In the years she left, if the Lin family hadn't moved, it would be less than a twenty-minute drive from this aristocratic school.
It used to be twenty minutes for them.
