"Come in!"

Cheng Xiao opened the door and turned sideways.

Ye Tingyun followed behind her, and the two sat down under the vine again.

Ye Tingyun looked up at the cherry tree not far away, with memories in his eyes.

"The first time I saw it, it was so tall." ”

Ye Tingyun stretched out his hand and compared.

"More than ten years have passed, and it has also grown!"

The foliage is lush and towering into the clouds.

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao followed his gaze.

The cherry tree's first fruiting was when she was four years old, and when Ye Tingyun came to Cheng's house, she was just six years old.

Just two years!

At that time, the cherry blossom trees were really small.

"When you were young, you loved to stand under the cherry tree and make a mark on it with a knife."

Ye Tingyun got up and walked to the cherry tree, turned around carefully, and looked at it.

"After so many years, the mark should have disappeared long ago."

"Time has passed too long, too long......"

"Xiaoxiao!"

Ye Tingyun's gaze suddenly looked over, with deep guilt.

Trembling voice: "I'm sorry, I'm late!" ”

missed Cheng Xiao's childhood, Cheng Xiao's growth, and his grandfather's last time.

This is a hurdle that Ye Tingyun will never be able to get over in his heart.

"I don't remember." Cheng Xiao shook his head.

She didn't know why there was so much affection in Ye Tingyun's eyes.

I don't understand, I don't understand.

At that time, she was so young that even if she tried her best to remember, all she remembered was the fragments she learned from her grandfather.

"It's normal not to remember."

Ye Tingyun understands very well, after all, not everyone is like him, and he never forgets it.

But I can't forget it......

It may not be a good thing, painful memories cannot be erased, beautiful but untouchable.

"I'll just remember." Ye Tingyun said softly.

Every bit of it is treasured in the deepest part of his heart.

"Tell me, then, how did you get here?"

Cheng Xiao sat under the grape vine and looked at Ye Tingyun.

She had heard of the Ye family in Kyoto, which was a super wealthy family that was even more powerful than the Shen family.

As the eldest young master of the Ye family, how could Ye Tingyun fall to the small place of Red Star Village for no reason.

"Huh~" The corners of Ye Tingyun's mouth hooked up a touch of sarcasm and a self-deprecating smile.

It was a very bloody wealthy past, a painful memory, and a young and powerless self.

Ye Tingyun didn't want to mention it again, but said: "For some reason, I fainted in the wild, and when I woke up again, I saw my grandfather." ”

"Grandpa picked me up."

Speaking of this, the corners of Ye Tingyun's mouth hooked, and said meaningfully: "Grandpa likes to pick up children very much." ”

Cheng Xiao frowned and didn't speak.

Ye Tingyun didn't continue to dwell on this topic, and followed what he said just now: "When I first came to the house, I didn't like to talk because of some things, it was you who ......"

Ye Tingyun walked in the direction of Cheng Xiao and sat opposite him.

doting eyes looked at her: "It's you who follow me every day, and my brother is long and my brother is short." ”

"It's you who said that you like your brother and want to be with your brother forever."

"It was you who saw me frowning, so you smoothed it out with your little hands."

Ye Tingyun fell into memory, and the smile between his eyebrows seemed to be condensed into substance.

"You were small, fluffy, with some baby fat on your face, and you liked to be clingy."

"I want my brother to hold me when I paint, I want my brother to hold me when I eat, I want my brother to hold me when I walk, and I even sleep ......"

"Ahem!"

Cheng Xiao coughed heavily, his dark eyes turned sideways, and the tips of his ears turned red.

"Alright, let's move on!"

She was unwilling to destroy the happiness on Ye Tingyun's face, but she was even more unwilling to face her black history.

That's right, it's black history!

"Listen to you!"

Ye Tingyun smiled indulgently, rubbing his fingers, a little itchy.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket, took a few puffs, and spit out the smoke ring.

With a cigarette in one hand, his voice was a little muffled when he spoke again.

"I lived here for about two months, and it was the happiest, happiest, and most carefree time of my life."

Ye Tingyun thought that he really wanted to live here for the rest of his life at that time.

I want to have a kind grandfather and a lovely sister.

However, the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes.

"It's a pity...... Moments of happiness are always short-lived. ”

"Later, my father found me and took me back to the Ye family."

"Later, I was sent out of the country."

Two months......

That's long enough!

With the power of the Ye family, it shouldn't be like this.

Cheng Xiao's eyes moved imperceptibly, and she quickly regained her composure.

Lend an hear.

Ye Tingyun continued: "I came back from abroad a few months ago, and I thought about coming to you, but I never thought that I would meet you at the antique market in H City. ”

"Was it a chance encounter?" Cheng Xiao raised her eyes.

"It's a chance encounter!" Ye Tingyun nodded.

It was precisely because it was a chance encounter that people were caught off guard and shocked on the spot.

Ye Tingyun remembered that he was speechless in surprise at that time.

It's stupid indeed!

Fortunately, Cheng Xiao didn't notice him at first sight, both disappointed and happy.

"Oh!" Cheng Xiao nodded, agreeing with this statement.

"It's just...... I've changed a lot from when I was a kid, how did you recognize that? ”

Ye Tingyun dragged the trash can on the side and flicked the cigarette ash.

"Although I have been abroad for many years, I also have contact channels with China, and I have paid attention to the news of you and my grandfather."

"Every year, I have a gift for you."

"I hope that when I return to China, I can give it to you in person."

"Just ......"

Ye Tingyun said, his eyes stained with deep remorse and pain.

"It's just that I didn't expect grandpa to ...... Leave so early. ”

"Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry!"

"I didn't get back in time to be with you."

"I'm really sorry!"

Ye Tingyun's hand holding the cigarette trembled, and he hurriedly extinguished the cigarette.

Hands clenched.

After going abroad, he had a big mental problem and needed systematic treatment, so much so that he missed the news back home.

By the time he heard about it, Cheng Xiao's grandfather had already died.

He can only ......

"That's not right!" Cheng Xiao shook her head decisively.

The pitch-black gaze met Ye Tingyun's eyes: "You've been back!" ”

"I saw you on the day Grandpa was buried, and you were standing under that tree not far from our house."

Cheng Xiao remembered that the family was very busy at that time, and Cheng Yun was small, so she needed to be responsible for everything.

Even when the village chief and neighbors came to help, they were in a hurry.

She was sad and sad on the one hand, and she was busy with the funeral at the same time.

But she still noticed the lonely man standing under the tree.

Just one eye!

Let her remember those eyes forever.

It was a distressed gaze in the marrow, as if it was to be engraved in the depths of the soul.

Since then.

She had been dreaming for several nights in a row, and the person in the dream she couldn't see clearly, she couldn't see her clothes clearly, and she only had a pair of eyes.

As if to say: Xiaoxiao, don't cry!
