Yu Tianheng didn't leave the orphanage immediately. Instead, he drove the convertible slowly along the long cement road, trying to recover some of his lost memories. However, the surrounding trees had grown taller, so they couldn't possibly look like they did twenty years ago.
Yu Tian Heng gazed past the tree and saw a great banyan tree to his left. The most vivid scene he remembered was of this great banyan tree. He felt himself pull over to the side of the road and open the door to get out.
It was already autumn, and the leaves of the parasol tree fluttered down. Some of the leaves had already been dried off by the sun and stepped on, emitting chirping sounds. In the distance, Yu Tian Heng saw a familiar figure sitting on the Qiujia rack in a daze.
He suddenly stopped and lifted his hand to remove the sunglasses on his face. He was not mistaken, the one sitting blankly on the Qianduan rack was indeed his wife, Jane Qianlin. At this moment, she was wearing a snow-white dress, revealing her white arms and legs. Her chestnut colored hair danced lightly in the wind. Her slender legs were crossed as she sat on the rack, gently swaying along with the rack. It looked like … If one was not focused, it was very easy to feel that they had met a fairy who had descended to the mortal world.
Usually Jane Qianlin likes to wear denim, casual wear, rarely wear a skirt, especially this kind of dress.
Yu Tian Heng didn't understand why she was here, and why she was dressed so beautifully. Didn't she know how seductive her appearance was? If he didn't hate her, he would admire her, admire her beauty at this moment.
However, at this moment, he wasn't too sure if he should walk up or turn around and leave. After hesitating for a while, he walked up and stood in front of her.
When he walked over, he discovered that Jian Qianxing had fallen asleep while leaning against the Qiujia rack. Her long eyelashes covered her eyelids, and her hair hung down from her forehead. The wound that Zhe Zhe had inflicted yesterday was still red and swollen. It was as if he was just closing his eyes to feel the warm breeze and the sun. Soon, he would open his eyes and smile towards nature.
Yu Tian Heng was speechless. He admired her for being able to sleep like this. She would probably fall down from the Qiuqian rack after a few more minutes of sleep. He cursed silently in his heart that this stupid woman acted like a child, disregarding the consequences. No matter what, she shouldn't have fallen asleep on this autumn rack in the wilderness just before nightfall, and dressed like this at that …
Just as Yu Tian Heng was at a loss as to how to wake her up, Jian Qian Ning opened her eyes and looked at his figure. The corner of his lips curled up, revealing a hazy smile. He called out in a soft voice, "Tian Heng …"
From the moment that Yu Tian Heng stood in front of her, she suddenly felt her heart palpitate. It was as if she had awoken from a dream. And sure enough, after waking up, she saw him. He was a man who could stir her heartstrings at any time!
"Why are you here?" Yu Tianheng's tone was a bit flat, and the tenderness he unconsciously revealed on his face disappeared the moment she opened her eyes. He was still not used to being gentle in front of her.
"Aren't you supposed to be at home teaching with Zhe Zhe?" His eyebrows were slightly raised with a hint of mockery.
Jian Qianyu hurriedly stood up from the rack. She straightened her hair that was blown by the wind and her dress before saying uncomfortably, "I just returned home. I came over to see her and accidentally fell asleep here. "Hmm …" Zhe Zhe finished his class in the morning. I plan to give him more lessons in two days.
After he finished explaining, Jane stood beside Qiujia and looked at him. The two of them fell into a speechless state.
Jian Qian Ning looked around and asked curiously, "Why are you here too?"
Why was he here? It was a strange question. He had never been here before. Would he come back to see the children? Or he could come back and chat with the dean and the others to relieve his boredom. He was not such a caring person!
Yu Tian Heng's eyes flashed as she stared at him. He turned around slightly and said, "I am here to survey the area."
He didn't tell her the truth because he felt there was no need to explain too much to her. Summarizing things in a few words had always been his style, especially in front of her!
She thought that he came here because he was reminiscing about the past. It was obvious that he did not, however, miss the past, and after the silence between the two of them, in order to break the awkward silence, she shook the Qiandou by her side, chuckling. "Tian Heng, the swing here is very comfortable, take a seat! I'll push you. "
When he was young, Huanhuan loved to swing. Would he still like it when he grew up? Surely they wouldn't like it? How could someone as mature and steady as him, who also had a big career, be as childish as him?
Even though she knew it was impossible for him to like her, she still enthusiastically pulled him onto the Qiujia rack and pushed him out with all her might. As she said happily, "Sit still, I'll push you onto the leaves!"
When Yu Tianheng was forcefully dragged to the top of the swing by her, he felt like an idiot. A seven foot man, wearing a stiff suit and polished shoes, was actually so childish that he was sitting on the swing?! To be seen by his subordinates, clients or friends, it would be strange if he didn't laugh his head off.
In all these years, as long as he could remember, he had never swung a swing. At most, he had only played in an amusement park with machines. It was like swinging a sword.
The moment he was pushed out by Jian Chen, he had intended to jump down. However, after hearing her last sentence, he was slightly startled in his heart. Instead, he tightened his grip on the rope, allowing his body to fly higher and higher.
'Push you into the leaves... ' Why did he have a feeling that he had heard these words the moment he heard them? Did that feeling come back? Was his brain in chaos because he was so anxious to recover his memories?
A familiar image suddenly flashed in his mind. A little girl with a butterfly knot tied to her head was pushing the little boy on the swing while shouting excitedly, "Brother Huanhuan, sit still. I'll push you onto the leaves. Pick many Banyan tree seeds for me …"
The little boy was pushed high, but he still could not reach the banyan seeds on the tree, so he could only shout with great difficulty, "Pull harder! A bit harder … He couldn't reach it …. "What do we do if we can't get it …!"
But what happened after that? He could not remember what happened after that.
What he couldn't recall was crystal clear in her mind. That sentence had touched the memories that Yu Tian Heng had kept in his heart, but hadn't it touched hers as well? Her sadness?
In the end, the little boy only picked a few leaves. Looking at the little girl's bitter face, he suddenly jumped up, hugged the tree trunk and started climbing up while comforting her loudly, "It's alright! I'll climb up and pick a lot for you! "
The banyan seeds were edible and sweet. The children all liked them, but the dean was afraid of putting everyone in danger to pick them. When Huanhuan climbed up the tree to pick two big bags for her, she was happy for the whole afternoon. However, Huanhuan was dragged into a corner by the old Headmaster to kneel on a washboard for an hour. She could only look at him apologetically and blame herself.
It was another season of banyan seed ripening, with a thick layer of trees. Of course, children these days would not eat these things. At this moment, Jian Qian Ning had the urge to eat it. That taste that she hadn't tasted for a long time must be very astringent!
Being preoccupied with her thoughts, she looked at her hand movements and the swing came to a shameful stop. Yu Tian Heng stood up, only then did Jian Qian Ning regain her senses, and smiled again: How is it? Is it fun? "
"Childish!" Yu Tian Heng said as he tossed the two words over to him.
The smile on her face froze, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. However, it was soon over. Yu Tian Heng was holding a bunch of leaves that were filled with banyan seeds. He actually picked the banyan seeds …
Even Yu Tianheng didn't know why he broke down such a bunch of banyan branches and unconsciously did so. At this moment, he saw Jian Qianyu's pleasantly surprised face as she stared at it. She stuffed it into his arms and calmly said, "It's time to go back!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked in the direction of the car.
Qian Ning was startled as she subconsciously hugged the banyan seeds that he stuffed away. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, his back view was as long as a dream as he walked shamelessly into the depths of the setting sun. And she stood there, smiling like a child.
She didn't know how to describe her extremely excited mood right now. That feeling … It was just like twenty years ago when Huanhuan handed her two bags of banyan seeds. She was so excited that she hopped around under the tree.
Yu Tianheng got on the car, and noticed that Jian Qianyu was still standing in the same spot without moving. If it was in the past, he would have already left with his foot on the accelerator. Today, however, he did not leave. Instead, he impatiently pressed the horn.
Hearing the sound of the car, Jian Qian Ning suddenly turned around and walked over quickly with the banyan seed in her hand. Then he opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. He started the car and slowly walked down the winding trail.
Seeing that Yu Tian Heng was unfamiliar with the road, Jian Qian Ning knew that this was his first time coming here and believed that he came for the purpose of looking at the ground. The leaves of the parasol tree rustled, and Jane Qian Ning looked at the shamefully pushed back forest. She turned her head to him and asked carefully, "All these years, why have you never come back here?"
He didn't come back to look at the place where he had lived, at the people he had lived with, at that … The little girl who had been waiting for him! She really wanted to know why, because his personality had changed? But no matter how much he changed it, he shouldn't abandon the orphanage that he had once adopted and the girl that he had once liked!
She asked carefully, but Yu Tian Heng stopped the car on the side of the road. He turned his head to look at her in surprise and said indifferently: "What do you mean come back here? Do you know that I've stayed here before? "
Only today did he dare to be sure that he was staying here. How could she know?
As she saw his astonished face, she couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness. He had really forgotten all about her! She smiled faintly and said, "Because I'm your wife."
She only replied with one sentence. Le Le had already lost all meaning in his heart. She no longer broached her anger. She didn't know why she was betting on this. Perhaps she was completely injured?
After the car was restarted, Yu Tian Heng did not say anything more. Jian Qian Ning's reply explained the doubts in his heart. Ever since he had brought her back to the beach villa and given her the chance to interact with Rong Xiushu, she had thoroughly figured out his background. Just thinking about it made her angry.
Especially when he saw that she would always look at him with that kind of sympathetic and heartbroken gaze, he was at his most furious. He did not need the sympathy of others, and he did not like the heartache of others, he did not need it!
The car moved slowly through the traffic, and the car fell into a habitual dead silence. Whenever it was only the two of them in the car, it seemed so quiet that they rarely had a car alone.
After this period of silence, Yu Tianxiong's agitated mood calmed down instead. He looked at her in the rearview mirror, both intentionally and unintentionally. He discovered that she was currently leaning against a corner, and that she had accidentally stuffed a black banyan seed into her mouth. Her small face was calm, and her eyes were fixed, thinking about something.
Yu Tian Heng frowned, he looked at her and could not help but ask: "Didn't you eat lunch? "Eat these."
When Jian Chen asked this question, the originally wandering Jian Chen immediately woke her up. When she looked down, she saw that half of the banyan seed she was holding in her hand had been taken away by her. She herself did not feel anything at all! What was there was only a mouthful of sweetness and a sweet taste. It was exactly the same smell from back then!
Time could change many people and things, but it could not change the seeds of the banyan tree that could seduce her memories if she wasn't careful.
She took one and put it to his mouth, smiling. "It's delicious," she said.
"Not eating." Yu Tian Heng's frown deepened as he put on a look of disgust.
"All the kids in the yard like to eat. Maybe you used to eat a lot." Jian Qian Ning insisted on waiting for him to open his mouth. Moreover, she patiently coaxed and lied to him. She didn't know where she got the guts to provoke him at this time.
Yu Tian Heng was forced by her to lean his head against the back of a chair, staring at the slender white hand in front of him, he had no choice but to open his mouth. After receiving the banyan seeds, a sweet and sweet taste of sweetness instantly spread between his lips. This time, not only did his eyebrows tighten, even his handsome face was bunched up into a frown.
He didn't like the smell, so he could already sense it from the very first moment he tasted it.
Seeing the look of disdain on his face, Jian Chen couldn't help but laugh. He thought back to the first time she tricked Huanhuan to eat. Just like the current Yu Tian Heng, his entire face wrinkled as if he had eaten poison. He didn't expect that after so many years, he was still like that and still hated the taste that many children liked.
"Is it that bad?" Jian Qian Ning looked at him with a smile and asked the doubt in her heart.
Yu Tian Heng turned his head and looked at her: "I couldn't eat it often in the past." He was very sure that nothing had ever been so certain. He did not believe that he would like to eat this, no matter the time.
He had indeed not eaten much before, probably because after the first time she tricked him into eating it, he had not eaten anything ever since. This was something she knew better than he did, and she nodded in agreement.
When they got back to the main house, Yu Tianheng parked his car in front of the main house and the two of them alighted together.
Young Master An coincidentally walked out of the house at this moment. When he saw the two of them heading home together, his gaze lingered on her for a second. Then, he retracted his gaze and walked towards the Bentley that was already waiting at the side.
"Uncle!" Where are you going? " Zhe Zhe quickly rushed out of the room and accidentally bumped into Jane Qianlin's stomach because he was too fast. Jane Qianlin cried out in pain as her body fell backwards.
Jane was standing close to the Bentley, and Young Master An heard her cry out in pain. He quickly turned around and caught her as she fell to the ground. Thus, she avoided an awkward accident, but … Seeing Yu Tian Heng's handsome face turn cold, she would rather fall to the ground than fall into Young Master An's arms.
This hug was no longer something she could casually rely on! She quickly stood up and thanked Young Master An. In order to ease the awkward situation, she pretended to be angry and scolded Zhe Zhe Zhe, "Zhe Zhe! Didn't I tell you this morning that if you run into someone, you're going to say 'sorry'? How did you forget so quickly? "
"You stood in the middle of the road by yourself! You should have told me you were 'sorry'! " Zhe Zhe put on a reasonable look.
Jane's breath was stuck in her throat. She felt hatred and glared at him, but Zhe Zhe didn't care about her at all. He ran to the Bentley and leaned on the window as he shouted to Young Master An, "Uncle, where are you going? I want to go with you! "
The car window slowly rolled down. Young Master An reached out and patted his head. "I'm going to pick up my aunt at the airport. Wait for her to bring you a present. Be good and go play with your mother."
He rolled up the window again, started the car and headed for the front door. The Bentley disappeared.
Entering the room, as he had done the night before, Zhe Zhe burst into tears and snot, complaining about how Jane had mistreated him in the course of the day. While his complaints were vividly described, Master Yu took the opportunity to interrupt. "Forget it, let Zhe Zhe go to school. Don't let him stay at home all day. It's very boring."
Yu Tianheng gently wiped away the tears on Zhe Zhe's face with a tissue and said to him with a smile, "Who told you to be naughty? You go to class and eat. Dad can send you to school with the kids next week. "
As soon as Zhe Zhe heard what Yu Tian Heng said, he immediately began to cry with grievance. He didn't know when his father had become so biased! He had always been very protective of him in the past!
A touch of comfort arose in Jian QianNing's heart. Even though Master Yu's expression was ugly and Zhe Zhe's tears were painful, as long as Yu Tian Heng supported her decision, she had the confidence to persevere.
