It's dark at night.

There are fewer pedestrians on the road, but the shadow of couples walking along the river is still common.

Lin Qin's car also stopped on the side of the road by the river with double flashes.

Lao Yang leaned on the car, observing the surroundings while looking at Lin Qin and Shen Jiannan sitting on the bench on the promenade under the riverbank.

The night breeze of late summer and early autumn just caress Shen Jianan's hair unhurriedly.

Looking at the beautiful lights on the bank of the river, Shen Jianan felt some indescribable relief and joy in his heart.

"Thank you tonight."

Shen Jianan's warm and soft voice sounded again.

Although she had thanked Lin Qin many times along the way, she still couldn't help but want to say.

Lin Qin still chuckled and replied, "It's okay." ”

……

Finally, with the gentle evening breeze, Lin Qin, who had quietly watched Shen Jiannan for a long time, chose to speak.

"...... on your shoulders"

Hearing Lin Qin's words, Shen Jianan stroked his shoulder, then turned his head to look at Lin Qin, and pursed his lower lip with some hesitation.

"It's a tattoo."

Looking at Lin Qin's eyes looking at him, Shen Jianan slowly turned his head and propped his hands on the bench and chuckled slowly.

"It's a camellia."

Then Shen Jiannan looked up at Lin Qin again, took off Lin Qin's coat, pulled all his hair to the left, and turned to the left back to show Lin Qin.

Lin Qin, who was sitting on Shen Jianan's left, gently glanced at Shen Jianan's right back shoulder, and this time he could clearly see the camellia petals looming above Shen Jianan's skin.

"Eighteen?"

Hearing Lin Qin's words, Shen Jianan chuckled and nodded with some surprise: "Hmm." ”

"It's my father's favorite, Eighteen."

"When I was a child, I barely remember ......"

"But my mother told me that my father loved camellias the most, especially his pink and white eighteen bachelors, and my mother said that my father thought that the flower was the same as me."

Lin Qin looked at Shen Jianan, whose expression seemed to be a little touched, and couldn't bear to interrupt, so he sat quietly beside Shen Jiannan and listened carefully.

"Two years ago, after being betrayed by two friends, I left C City and came here, and I felt desperate several times in my heart that I couldn't hold on, so I inexplicably remembered my father."

"Although I have very few memories of my father, I can always feel in my mother's words and expressions that my father is a very warm person."

"Because when my mother mentions my father, her eyes are always full of love and smile."

Shen Jianan looked at the reflection of the lights in the water by the river, and he couldn't help but feel the corners of his mouth curled up gently.

"Mom said that Dad wanted me to be like that camellia, always sincere, humble, elegant and virtuous. He also said that my father hoped that I could be blessed by the metaphor of this flower and that I could find my ...... in the future."

[Ideal lover.] ]

When he thought of this, Shen Jianan immediately avoided Lin Qin's eyes and stopped continuing.

"What's yours?"

Lin Qin looked at Shen Jianan and asked softly.

Looking at Lin Qin's appearance and eyes, Shen Jiannan swallowed his throat with some nervousness, and then looked at the riverside, "It's nothing." ”

"Anyway, this tattoo is the same one I wrote when I first came to this city."

"And what about your father?"

"I died when I was six years old."

Lin Qin's inadvertent question made Shen Jianan stunned when he looked at the river.

Lin Qin, who found that he seemed to be arousing Shen Jianan's sadness, immediately said to Shen Jianan: "I'm sorry. ”

Shen Jianan shook his head lightly, "I can't remember what my father looks like. ”

"Because I can't remember anything when I was six years old, and even my memories of the past are very vague, so since I was seven years old, every time I can't remember my father, I ask my mother what my father looks like, what his name is, and what he does."

Shen Jianan looked at his feet as he spoke, shook his feet, and laughed.

"I'm afraid I'll forget my dad like I forgot when I was a kid. So I caught my mom and asked, and my mom was annoyed by my questions. ”

Lin Qin heard Shen Jianan's words and chuckled together with Shen Jianan.

"But my mother still tells me very seriously every time, saying that my father's name is Shen Jing, he is very handsome, he loves his mother and loves me very much, but his life is short."

"Huh." Shen Jianan's eyes gradually burst into tears.

The corners of Lin Qin's mouth, who was watching Shen Jiannan beside him, also curled slightly, but his eyes were also full of distress.

"At one point, I wanted to use my scattered memories to find the house we used to live in."

Shen Jianan suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Qin.

Then he sighed deeply.

"And then?" Lin Qin asked lightly.

"My mom stopped me and she told me that my dad's family didn't like me and I didn't like her, so we stayed at my grandmother's house."

"She said that after my father died, my father's family kicked us out, and she didn't want me to go back."

Shen Jianan looked at Lin Qin, and with tears in his eyes, he reluctantly pursed his lips and smiled.

Lin Qin looked at Shen Jianan, his eyes were full of distress, and he subconsciously touched Shen Jianan's head.

"Okay, I don't want to."

Shen Jianan, who was touched on the head, looked at Lin Qin beside him, and his heart was a little thumped, and he smiled warmly.

Lin Qin looked at Shen Jianan gently, and gently stroked Shen Jianan's windswept hair.

"This tattoo is so beautiful, don't cover it up in the future."

Looking at Lin Qin, who was so gentle and handsome in front of him, Shen Jiannan bit his lip a little uncontrollably.

She felt that she felt a different feeling for Lin Qin in Lin Qin's actions and words, but Lin Qin did not tell herself whether he really liked herself.

This had to make Shen Jianan, who was unconsciously tugged at by Lin Qin's heartstrings, feel a little at a loss for the surging feeling that rose in his heart.

She even wanted to ask Lin Qin, do you like me?

But if not......

Shen Jiannan controlled his thoughts, inhaled his nose, which was uncomfortable due to his sour nose and tears, and then looked away from Lin Qin.

"You ......"

Shen Jiannan looked away a little when he wanted to speak.

Lin Qin tilted his head and looked at Shen Jiannan with some suspicion, "What am I?" ”

Shen Jianan still swallowed his words back, and then looked at Lin Qin with a light sigh and smiled, "It's okay." ”

Looking at Shen Jianan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Lin Qin was a little puzzled, but he was worried about whether Shen Jiannan was still missing his father, so he was in a bad mood, so he didn't ask any more.

The two of them sat quietly blowing the river breeze for a while.

It wasn't until Shen Jianan looked at Lin Qin's right hand on his lap that there was still some redness between the knuckles of his fingers, remembering when Lin Qin beat Xu Kun for himself......

"Let's go back."

Shen Jianan quickly sat up from the stool holding Lin Qin's suit, then glanced at Lin Qin and walked to the intersection where Lao Yang was.

Lin Qin, who was still sitting on the stool, looked at Shen Jianan, who got up so quickly, and reacted for a while before getting up to catch up.

"Ah......" As soon as Lin Qin walked to the side with Shen Jianan, Shen Jianan's high-heeled heels fell into the cracks in the ground.

"Ahh

Shen Jianan, who was frozen in place, wanted to bend down to pull the heel of his shoe by himself, but as soon as he turned his head, he found that Lin Qin behind him had squatted down and pulled out the heel of his heel that was stuck in the crack of the ground.

This moment......

Maybe Shen Jianan didn't dare to confirm what Lin Qin meant to her, but in Shen Jianan's heart, these days, the uncontrollable heartbeat has already shown that at least Lin Qin is already becoming different little by little in her heart.
