When I went upstairs, River Branch was watching TV in the living room as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that I had come, River Tree smiled and said, "River, you're here. You should watch TV. It's so fun."

After I sat down beside her, I asked softly, "Nobody told you about you?"

"Oh, I see. But there's no helping it, right? If you can live for a few days, then just live for a few days. River Tree laughed.

I found that she was more cheerful today than before. I had always wanted to tell her about her life extension, but when I thought about it, it was hard to say.

After watching this TV episode, River Branch stood up and stretched. He said, "River, thank you for coming to accompany me. At the critical moment, you're the real one. My good friends didn't come looking for me. Haha, are they afraid of me? I'm afraid that when I die, my soul will find them. "

"They are ignorant, don't be angry."

"I'm not angry."

River Tree pouted and suddenly mentioned a junior high school: "River, do you know that the junior high school we were in has been disqualified? "I really miss that place. I really want to go and see it."

"If you want to go, then go and take a look."

"Really?" River Branch raised his eyebrows and laughed.

"Of course, we'll go now."

"Alright!"

When we went downstairs, River Branch's parents saw her giggling and thought that she had promised me to save her, so they also laughed along.

River Branch pushed out his old bicycle and said to me, "Let's go!"

I got on my bike and rode the river branch to the middle school where we used to study. The rice on the side of the road had turned yellow, and the flowers on the mountain were blooming brightly.

When passing by an old peach tree, River Branch said, "River water, do you still remember that time when my car broke down and you drove me home. At that time, the peach blossoms were in full bloom and I even broke off a peach blossom to ask if you looked good."

"I remember." My voice dropped suddenly, afraid that the branch of the river would hear what I was about to say. "I always remember. Every time I think about it, my heart feels warm."

After riding for more than an hour, we reached town and ate two bowls of powdered rice at the restaurant in front of the school. The school gates were ajar and unlocked. We parked the car and pushed the door open.

Walking along the long path, River Branch slowly narrated what had happened here.

River Branch let out a long sigh, "Ah, there were so many people at that time. I didn't expect that our school would be cancelled just because we had only graduated two years ago and most of us had gone to middle school in the county."

When they arrived at the sports field, River Branch happily said, "Do you still remember the time when you fought with the student from the next class and broke his head? During the exercise, the principal let you face all the students and read your books."

"I remember, back then I saw you laughing the most."

"No way. Everyone's just laughing."

River Branch turned around and looked at his surroundings. "Let's go to the classroom."

He walked to the classroom on the third floor where he had attended classes before. Unfortunately, there was a padlock on the door.

"Too bad it's locked. I still want to go in and take a seat." River branch sighed.

"It doesn't matter." I walked to the side, picked up a brick, and smashed the padlock. River curled his neck and stuck out his tongue.

Inside, the seats were covered with dust. The branch of the river wiped itself clean and sat on it. She looked at me and said, "You should sit at your seat."

Then I sat behind the branch of the river, wiped the seat behind her, and sat down.

River Tree leaned to the side and said, "Did you get me to cooperate with you copying the previous exams?"

I smiled and said nothing.

After circling around the old school, we prepared to head back. When we reached the tree-lined road leading out of the school, River Branch suddenly stopped and gave me a crooked smile. "River, tell me the truth. Do you like me?"

If it was any other river branch, she definitely wouldn't be able to say such words. However, she might have realized that she was going to die, so she didn't want to have any regrets. Instead, she became open-minded and open-minded.

I also smiled and said, "That's right! I've been secretly in love with you since primary school."

"Haha, you have a crush on me since primary school, aren't you exaggerating too much! I remember when I was a slug! "

"What's wrong with slugs? I like slugs!"

River Branch laughed out loud. "You really have a heavy taste!"

It was as if we were joking, saying things that we normally wouldn't dare to say.

After walking a few more steps, I stopped and said, "Water Branch, I have a way to prevent you from dying."

Jiang Shui Zhi's expression immediately became serious, then she laughed: "Stop joking, I've seen everything. I died at my most beautiful age, what everyone remembers is that I was also at my most beautiful time, it was pretty good."

"I'm serious." I was serious.

Of course, River Branch didn't want to die. Right now was the prime of his life, and he was full of hope for the future. It was only because she had heard the old man say that there was no hope of rescue that she pretended to be indifferent and presumptuous.

At this moment, River Branch's body was trembling and he asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

I bowed my head, not daring to look into River Branch's eyes. After sneaking a peek at the branch of the river, she blushed as well.

After a long while, River Branch gently asked, "River, I'm not joking with you. Do you really like me?"

I nodded. "I'm not joking. I really do like you."

Jiang Shui Zhi took a deep breath: "Alright, let's do as you say." But you can't let my parents know, or they'll get tangled up. "

"I understand."

"Tonight?"

"Mm. Your Heavenly Soul has been gone for several days. Seven days is your limit. You can't wait any longer."

"Alright, then let's go back and tell my parents to get ready. Don't tell them anything important."

When I drove the branch home, she didn't say much, probably because she was shy and nervous.

When we got home, River Branch went upstairs, blushing, leaving me alone to face her parents.

River Branch's mother quickly asked, "How is it? How can I save my Shui Zhi? "

I said, "Auntie, you have to promise me that you'll let Shui Zhi go back to repeat school for a year and get into a good university. She doesn't want to work, so she doesn't know anything.

"As long as you can save her and not let my daughter die, anything is fine!"

"Alright then!" I thought about it before cleverly concealing the key steps. "Yes, Auntie. It's like this. I've read in my old notes that a river branch needs to be married to make a comeback. Of course, we don't need to get married, we just need to make the house look like it's being married, and set up the bridal chamber, and then I'll pretend to marry her and tie our hair together to burn it. That way, she won't be a young girl anymore, but someone with a family background, and won't have to die. "

River Branch's parents looked at each other and asked, "Then you don't have to do anything else, right?"

I hastily waved my hands. "No need, no need. I just stayed in her room for one night. I just need to use a red rope to stay there for one night. I don't need my body to touch it." Otherwise, even River Branch would not agree to it! " I was trembling with guilt when I said this.

River Branch's father: "Alright then. Let's go buy the 'Happy Window Flower' and the 'Explosive Bamboo' now!"

I said, "Well, I'll go home and get some clean clothes."

River Branch's father: "No need, I'll go to town to buy you all a new set of clothes. You should also put on a bit of costume, just stay at my house to eat."

"Oh, then I'm going up to watch TV." I went back.

Upstairs, River Tree was sitting on the sofa watching TV. I sat down next to her. Her face was red. After a long while, he bit his lips and asked softly, "Did you tell them that you didn't suspect anything?"

"No doubt, they are anxious to keep you alive. Actually, I feel that even if I tell them the truth, they will still agree."

Jiang Shui Zhi's face turned red as he rolled his eyes at me, then I stopped speaking.

A few hours ago, she was very cheerful and teased me loudly. Right now, she was actually feeling embarrassed. Of course, this was the normal her.

We didn't talk about the evening all afternoon, but occasionally we were afraid that the silence would be too long and awkward to talk about things on TV.

In the evening, River Branch's mother cooked a very sumptuous dinner. River Branch's father had already locked up the courtyard, hung red lanterns at the door, and posted the word 'Happy' on the door of River Branch.

During dinner, River Branch's mother always gave me food to thank me. Maybe, I thought, a few years from now, I would graduate from River Branch University and we would be together, and then I would be her son-in-law. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

River Branch's mother said, "What are you thinking of that makes you happy?"

I smiled and shook my head, and River Branch gave me a red-faced look. She probably thought I was smiling because I was thinking about what would happen in the evening.

I can't help but imagine what would happen, but when River Branch repeats his studies, he will definitely go to a famous university and then work for a big company in a big city. And I, an unremarkable country giver, would she look up to me then? Can I give her what she wants?

Thinking of this, I couldn't eat anymore.

It was dark. Jiang Shui Zhi and I finished our baths and changed into our new clothes. We bade our farewells in the living room, and Jiang Shui Zhi's father shot firecrackers.

River Branch and I went into her room.
