It may be that he "tasted the rice balls" that day and impressed her, and when she mentioned breakfast, she wanted to eat the rice balls.

Wen Qizhou chuckled: "Okay." ”

He lay down with Chi Yue in his arms for more than half an hour, got up and went to the kitchen, cooked two bowls of round rice balls and brought them to the bedroom.

The black sesame seeds in the rice balls have always been very sweet, and you don't feel tired when you eat a few pieces occasionally, but once you eat too much, you will snore.

He cooked less, with only six pieces per bowl.

It was just right for Chi Yue, but it was probably not enough for him, she raised her head and asked, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

"Not yet."

"Shall I get you another sandwich?"

Wen Qizhou: "No. He leaned over his red lips and whispered, "I'll be full when I taste more." ”

The fragrance of cypress envelops Chi Yue.

She tilted her head back, her long butterfly-winged eyelashes fluttering twice, and she took his tender, possessive kiss.

The hot breath sprayed in, reddening her cheeks, and carrying a tingling sensation into her pounding heart.

When he had enough of the sweetness he wanted, she grabbed the corner of his coat and buried it in his neck socket to calm his chaotic breathing.

Muttered, "You're so annoying." ”

"What's wrong with me?" Wen Qizhou lowered his eyes and looked at the top of her hair with shame.

As if sensing his gaze, she quickly glanced up at him, "I almost couldn't breathe just now." ”

"Then I'll teach you to ventilate?"

"Don't." She didn't give him a chance.

Chi Yue took a bite on his collarbone, leaving two rows of shallow tooth marks, and pushed his shoulder away: "You go wash the dishes." ”

Seeing that the rice balls had turned into red fruits, Wen Qizhou put down his thoughts on teaching her, and took away two pairs of dishes and chopsticks with a growing smile.

Rao is he walked out of the door, the ambiguous atmosphere that lingered around him still did not dissipate, and the fragrance of cypress wood that she had no intention of staining her body also faintly brushed the tip of her nose.

She hunched down on the couch and flipped through her books, listening to the continuous sound of rain, and the corners of her lips curled into a faint arc.

In those lackluster days that followed, they found a little fun for each other, and watched the rain disappear outside the window in an environment full of warmth and love.

When the rainstorm stopped, the clouds receded.

In the blue sky, there is a golden wheel that has not been seen for many days, and the warm light emitted by the golden wheel spreads throughout the city, and the warmth pours down from the window.

The rain-washed air was fresh, and the towering tree in the distance was still standing in the water, shaking its branches in the wind, and the fallen leaves floating on the sparkling water.

Aquatic animals also emerge with their heads and flick their tails through the debris and fallen leaves and branches on the water's surface, as if they are playing happily.

Chi Yue overlooks the water.

In just a moment, the figures of frogs and water snakes broke into the bottom of their eyes, as if sending a signal to humans that they could go out.

She retracted her gaze: "Qizhou, let's put away the things at home first, shall we?" In a few days you will be able to leave. ”

Wen Qizhou bowed: "Hmm." ”

They have a lot of things in their house, and the furniture can be stored directly into the space, but small items and household appliances need to be assembled and disassembled.

He picked up the toolbox, removed the hanging air conditioner, solar panel and projection screen in the two bedrooms in turn, and sorted out the small items with Chi Yue, and put the things that could be used in the future into the storage box without falling to the ground.

"Where's our photo album?" Chi Yue rummaged through the drawers in the master bedroom and couldn't find it: "How could it be gone." ”

"Wedding photos?"

"And our childhood memento book." She opened the jewelry in the drawer and found that the marriage certificate had disappeared along with her.

Instantly guessed that someone had done it.

She stared at Wen Qizhou, who was dismantling the floor lamp, crossed her arms and asked, "Say, where did you hide them?" ”

His idea is easy to guess.

It was nothing more than that she was afraid that she would file for divorce and take away the things that carried their memories, so she quietly transferred them.

"Safe under the bookcase." He touched the tip of his nose twice: "That's a fingerprint lock, I'll get it for you." ”

Chi Yue followed behind him.

She waited for Wen Qizhou to enter her fingerprints to open it, then squatted down and watched him take out the hidden marriage certificate, photo album and birthday gift she had given him one by one.

"This pen is rusty." Chi Yue rubbed the cool pen, and indescribable emotions surged into her heart.

For a while, I was both remorseful and moved.

Regretfully, she did not value the birthday present he gave; Touched by his silent love and companionship.

"It can be used even if it is rusty." He never cared about the gift, but the person who gave it.

Chi Yue suddenly threw herself into his arms.

She hugged his waist, tears rolling in her reddened eyes, "I don't think I told you yet." ”

"What?"

"I like you." She couldn't help but sob: "I liked you a long time ago. ”

Every minute and every second they get along with each other is like a drop of water, which has gathered into a river over the years, flowing thin on her limbs, leaving indelible traces.

She had already moved her heart before she knew it.

"Well, I feel it." Wen Qizhou heard the most beautiful words in the world, and the smile in his eyes was about to overflow.

He stroked the top of her hair, his eyes inadvertently falling on the yellowed cardboard box containing the gift.

At this moment, the mood is like the year when I realized my own mind, and I wrote English on it with a pen one by one.

──You fell in love.

- "You're in love. ”

*

On the second day after the torrential rain stopped, the flood water swept up garbage and mud and rocks, and rushed violently into the streets and alleys of Suishi.

The three young people who did not leave Building C were just about to go out to look for supplies while rowing a boat, but they didn't have time to escape the sudden flood.

"Ahh

The ship was overturned, and screams rang through the sky.

Chi Yue watched them being swallowed up by the raging flood, and thought of the scene where Wen Qizhou disappeared into the water.

She leaned on the windowsill with a pale face, her hands trembling, and her whole person seemed to be firmly entangled in fear and insecurity.

Just as she was immersed in the sorrow of the past, a large gentle palm covered her eyes, blocking her vision.

Wen Qizhou put his arms around her waist, hugged her away from the window, and turned to sit on the sofa.

He knew what she was thinking.

Therefore, when I saw her dejected appearance, my heart would hurt.

His palm landed on her back, patted it a few times, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't leave you." ”

Chi Yue leaned close to his chest, closed her eyes to listen to his orderly heartbeat, trying to throw away the memories of the past.

He's still there.

She kept reminding herself that he was still there.

"Pray for the boat." I don't know how long it took, she took a deep breath and stared into his eyes: "Don't leave me in the future, okay?" I don't want to be alone, I'm so tired. ”

"Don't say stupid things."

Wen Qizhou bent his fingers and tapped her forehead.

He said with a serious look: "This time the situation is different, we will definitely live to the end of our lives." ”

Is it the end of life?

Chi Yue couldn't imagine how old and frail they looked and gray-haired, but she desperately wanted to go to that day with him.

She pulled back her thoughts, grabbed Wen Qizhou's collar and repeated again: "Then you are not allowed to leave me, do you hear?" ”

If hope is dashed.

She was willing to set foot on the Yellow Spring with him.

"I hear you." He whispered to divert her attention: "When are we leaving?" ”

"Tomorrow." When the rapid rise and fall of the flood peaks rushes, the water surface will return to calm, and it will not be easy to leave at that time.
