The dim rays of the setting sun paved the gravel path, and the green maple forest shows the unique vitality of summer. A winding path lies in the midst of a vibrant maple forest that leads to the door of a cottage.

With a creak, the slightly old wooden door was pushed open, and a young man dressed in black, about fourteen years old, walked out of the hut. Looking at the sunset that was about to set, the boy muttered

"It's going to be night", and then stretched hard, exuding the vitality unique to his age. Then he took a step and walked out of the forest. From the familiar silhouette of the young man, his immature face and faint smile, who else could he be if he wasn't Liu Feng who had just finished cultivating.

Liu Feng, who was walking along the stone path in the maple leaf forest, glanced at the maple leaves on both sides, his mind suddenly turned, and he unconsciously thought of the name that made everyone feel warm - mother.

Liu Feng heard his father say that this maple leaf forest was originally planted for her mother, and she liked maple leaves as much as she loved her own life.

She once said: Maple leaf represents eternity, perseverance, and warmth. She loves her father, loves this home, and hopes to be with this family for eternity like Maple Leaf.

Every autumn, when the maple leaves turn fiery red, my mother and father come here to see the fiery red maple leaves like a small flame that is burning vigorously.

She once said that she really wanted to accompany her family to come and see it every year!

My father also loved my mother very much, and he really loved it.

His father's personality is not very cheerful, except for Liu Feng, his father always looks indifferent to others. However, whenever Liu Feng mentions his mother, no matter what kind of emotion his father was at the time, his eyes will involuntarily reveal a gentle gaze...

Unconsciously, Liu Feng had reached the end of the road of hours. And what made Liu Feng stop was the girl who was standing at the end of the stone road who was slightly younger than Liu Feng and was wearing a light cyan dress.

Looking at the smiling, ethereal, cute and well-behaved little girl in front of him, Liu Feng restrained his inner emotions and walked towards her quickly.

"Brother Liu Feng has been hiding from Xi'er for several days."

This gentle and virtuous little girl occasionally showed this slightly angry look, but it was still so beautiful.

Hearing the girl's strange words, Liu Feng also scratched his head embarrassedly, "Xi'er, that... That me, actually..."

Listening to Liu Feng's words, it turned out that the girl in the light cyan dress was Xi'er who had been sticking to Liu Feng's side.

Seeing Liu Feng's embarrassed appearance, Xi'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, and used her snow-white slender little hands to half-cover the two cherry red thin lips that were gently pursed together. To be able to make Liu Feng show such an embarrassed expression, she has a sense of accomplishment!

Xi'er's slender calves walked lightly to Liu Feng's side with light lotus steps, walking side by side with him, looking at the latter's familiar face, Xi'er couldn't help but show a charming smile.

Turning her head sideways, Xi'er found that Liu Feng had been staring at herself, being stared at like this by a teenager of the same age as herself, especially when she still had some feelings for this teenager, even if Xi'er, who had always been elegant, couldn't help but have a fascinating crimson on her well-behaved little face

"Brother Liu Feng, why do you keep staring at other people's faces!"

Looking at the shy little beauty beside him, Liu Feng smiled evilly, "Who made my family Xi'er look so charming?"

Hearing Liu Feng's words, Xi'er's little face, which was like a red apple, deepened a little, and then turned her head to the side and no longer paid attention to Liu Feng.

"Hehe!" Seeing Xi'er's appearance, Liu Feng was not teasing her, "Xi'er will take a walk with me"

Turning her head, Xi'er gently nodded her snow-white chin, of course she would not refuse the invitation of the young man in front of her. Then he walked out of the maple leaf forest side by side with Liu Feng.

When the two of them appeared in the courtyard of the Liu family together, it was natural that some people sneered and rolled their eyes.

After all, one of the two is a "Qichai" that the family has never met in a hundred years, while the other is a genius girl like a goddess in the Liu family.

When you see a man and the goddess in his heart walking side by side like a little couple, it will naturally arouse the jealousy of many people. But when he saw that this man was Liu Feng, that jealousy naturally turned into ridicule. In their eyes, two people with very different identities will definitely not come together in the end.

Xi'er naturally heard the ridicule around her. Her little face was full of worry at this time, because Xi'er didn't want Liu Feng's already broken soul to be hurt in any way.

When Xi'er turned her head and wanted to appease Liu Feng, she was surprised to see that in Liu Feng's eyes, the eyes that had been low had completely disappeared. In its place was a very different feeling.

Xi'er's face was half-hidden with her slender hands, and a tear streak was silently drawn in her beautiful eyes.

That feeling Xi'er is not unfamiliar, the teenager was in high spirits three years ago, and it was this feeling that Xi'er felt - self-confidence!

As if feeling Xi'er's stopped pace, Liu Feng also stopped, turned around and gently rubbed her little head, and said to Xi'er very casually

"I have always believed that what belongs to me is mine", the confidence in the words was not concealed at all, as if to declare that the genius of the year is back!

Then that firmness was very naturally transformed into a watery softness, as if it were caring for some little fool.

"Xi'er over the years. Thank you."

The girl in front of her did not wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and quietly felt the warmth and softness of the young man's affection.

In the Liu family, I am afraid that no one has Xi'er who knows the young man in front of him deeply, the frustration of losing his talent, being snubbed and ridiculed by countless people, and the loneliness and loneliness that makes his not strong heart gradually covered with a thin layer of smoke, and he is deeply imprisoned in endless darkness.

No matter what method you use, you can't really touch the heart of the teenager.

However, just now, I heard the young man's warm gratitude with care. Xi'er knew that he had really come out of the darkness. And Xi'er seems to be able to see that in the young man's soft but stubborn heart, his own shadow has been deeply imprinted.

She smiled at the boy in front of her and shook her head, a drop of crystal clear water dripping from the corner of her eye, like a crescent moon. A shallow arc was drawn in the air, and finally it dripped to the ground, blending perfectly with the fresh earth.

She had waited too long for this day.
