Qiao Qingya sighed heavily every time he saw Lin Junmai's adjutant send his daughter back. His daughter and the people who play with guns and soldiers get mixed up, and he is always uneasy. However, Lin Junmai repeatedly helped the Qiao family out of the siege. When his subordinates came to pick up his daughter, he couldn't stop him.

So he always changed his way to ask Qiao ruochu if Lin Junmai had any plans to marry his daughter in his hometown.

In his mind, since things have come to this stage, it is responsible to marry openly.

In the past two years, there have been many twists and turns in his family. He has no expectation of his daughter's success in learning. He only hopes that she can get married safely, so as not to delay his life.

Qiao ruochu said to him, "don't worry, Dad. Your daughter has grown up. You should think about this kind of marriage."

"Yes, when I grow up, I can't let my family decide everything."

In the mailbox at home lie a thick dozen of letters from Gu Jun, and she has no courage to take them out.

Qiao Qingya saw it and asked her daughter if she wanted someone to throw it away. Qiao ruochu couldn't bear to carry it upstairs and put it in the drawer. With the letter, there was the ring Gu Jun had brought her. She didn't have the courage to see it.

In the first vision, Gu Jun, a modest gentleman as gentle as jade, is her ideal lover. If it wasn't for the burden of their ancestors, they would be a loving couple now.

When she locked the drawer, she saw a different envelope and pulled it out

At first glance, it was written by Xi Nuo.

This semester, Xi Nuo's sister Yao Sitong hardly said a word to her. Every time she looked at her, her eyes were sharp, which made her dare not touch Xi Nuo's books and letters again.

Winter vacation at home is boring, she can't always wait for Lin Junmai's call and occasional company, so Sanlian bookstore has become her frequent patronage.

Now the family's economy is not as good as before. For her, she can finish reading some books very soon. There is no need to buy them. But the price of such cheap is often to stay in the bookstore for a long time.

On that day, she accidentally glimpsed Xi Nuo's European joy on the bookshelf. She wanted to take it out and look at it. Thinking of Yao Sitong's insulting words, she quickly withdrew her hand. A book beside her was violently hit on the ground by her.

A man in a long gown bent down gracefully and picked it up for her. "Don't hit your feet." He said in a gentle voice.

"Thank you, sir." Qiao ruochu raised a look, staring round eyes.

"What a coincidence." She said excitedly: "the year before last, you also helped me pay for the books."

"Where can we not meet in life. I didn't expect to meet you in the same place. May I have a cup of tea for you He helped his eyes, very gentlemanly.

"Of course." Qiao ruochu is smiling.

Out of the bookstore, he went to a white car, opened the door and asked her to get on.

"What's your name, young master?" They all got into other people's cars. Qiao ruochu just remembered that he didn't know his family name. He was so stupid.

He chuckled, with a deep and wise face, just like the old gentleman in the private school.

"Miss, are you afraid I'll sell you?"

"No. My surname is Yao, and my first name is Ji, which is the same as the subjugated monarch of the Song Dynasty. " It turns out that he is Xi Nuo, the son of the Yao family, a famous talent all over the country.

Qiao ruochu's hand tightly clasped the dress on his knee, and his face turned white.

Yao ji scanned the changes on her face and asked, "what happened to you and Si Tong. I know all about it. I apologize for her. Ruochu, I'm sorry. "

"It's none of your business..."

Qiao ruochu originally wanted to say that he was not feeling well and wanted to get off the bus. He apologized straight to the point. In a hurry, he couldn't find a reason to let him stop, so he had to follow him.

In the blink of an eye, he has arrived at an ancient tea house near the water. He stops to open the door for Qiao ruochu. Qiao ruochu didn't react from the shock. She felt that God wanted to play with her. She couldn't avoid what she was afraid of.

Yao ji held out his hand to help her out of the car. Qiao ruochu went around his hand and came out by himself.

Find a window seat, Xi Nuo to a pot of Longjing, Qiao ruochu ordered a cup of chrysanthemum.

Outside the window, the scenery of the water town in winter is picturesque and hazy, and the water channel is shining with cold light, as indifferent as a wise man who has experienced vicissitudes.

In an instant, the tea came and the fragrance overflowed.

"How long has Mr. Yao been back?" Qiao ruochu took the initiative to open the topic.

"I came to Xiangcheng the night before yesterday. Didn't I tell you in my letter? " Xi Nuo is very good

Surprise.

"I don't remember. By the way, you already know me? " Qiao ruochu hesitated. She didn't open the letters after that.

"I've known you for years." Xi Nuo holds the cup and gives her a simple and honest smile.

"Many years?" Qiao ruochu almost spurted out the tea she had drunk. She racked her brain to think that she seemed to have a vague memory.

When she was eight years old, she sneaked out from home and rowed. All her little friends could swim, get on the boat and dive, but she couldn't, so she had to sit in a daze on the boat. A little friend wanted to tease her, Leng buting dragged her into the water. She was so scared that she didn't get her out after several times of dragging. Just when she was about to lose consciousness, she was held by a student like young man.

At the same time, her father and sun Ma came to find her. She was taken away by her family before she could speak to the big brother. Later, her father mentioned it to her several times, saying that he was just looking at his daughter's business and forgot to ask the young man's name. All she remembered was that he was wearing a pair of glasses and a long shirt.

See her hair for a while, eyes emit a little light, Xi Nuo asked: "remember? Are you still afraid of water

"So you saved me." Qiao ruochu's face showed some joy.

"So I recognized you as soon as I saw you in Xinhua bookstore that day. At that time, I only knew your name was ruochu, but I didn't know you were Qiao's child. I didn't know it was you until I heard from you later. "

"It's a coincidence. It's better than what the book says."

"Fate is more wonderful than the book. You should be my sister Xi Nuo

My smile deepened.

Qiao ruochu also smile. A pot of tea, a period of early memories, draws two young hearts closer.

Xi Nuo told her that he had not come back for the Spring Festival for two years, and suffered from homesickness in Peking. He decided to move to Shanghai next year, so that he could come back to live. He said that people who were born in a watery land can't capture more inspiration anywhere without the romantic atmosphere here. When the tea was cold, Xi Nuo took her home considerately. When he left, he saw her step into Yan garden, and his eyes flashed with sadness.
