Shang Muxia was a little lost as she looked at the umbrella that Bai Ye lent her.

After all, she could see that White Night didn't seem like an idle person. It would be too awkward if she called him on the spur of the moment and he was at work.

She kept her phone in her hand, but she didn't dare to call Bai Ye.

But when he looked at the screen, he saw that the caller ID was "Lin Zhiqian".

Shang Muxia hesitated, she did not know if she should accept it.

Just as she was hesitating, the other end of the line automatically hung up.

Shang Muxia was glad that he didn't have to worry about her making the decision now.

Fortunately, not even a minute and a half had passed before the familiar bell rang again.

Shang Muxia thought about it, and felt that she could not keep on running.

After thinking about it, Shang Muxia still answered the call.

"Mu Xia, are you free on Sunday? I want to invite you out for a trip, so go to the old amusement park by the river, I'll wait for you. "

Just as Shang Muxia wanted to reject, Lin Zhiqian hung up.

Following that, Shang Muxia received another text message:

Sunday night at seven o'clock, in the usual place.

Shang Muxia was a little confused. In the past, she and Lin Zhiqian would often go to the riverside playground during weekends.

At that time, Lin Zhiqian would always pull her along to play with the Soaring Cloud Wheel. She was afraid of heights, so she could only curl up in his embrace.

The scenes from the past were still fresh in his mind, and Shang Muxia didn't know how to reply.

She picked up her phone again and dialed Lin Zhiqian's number, wanting to reject him.

However, the other party had always indicated that no one was willing to answer his call. It was very clear that Lin Zhiqian did not plan to let him reject his request.

Shang Muxia thought about it, then sent a message and rejected Lin Zhiqian's offer.

In the morning of the second day, it had also drizzled a little. Shang Muxia directly brought two umbrellas — one for herself and one for Bai Ye.

Perhaps, she thought, she would run into him again, just in time to return the umbrella to him.

However, she was really confident in this vast sea of people.

On rainy days, business in the gallery wasn't so good, but Dodo was quiet.

Shang Muxia also didn't know why Duo Duo was always in such a leisurely mood. The gallery business was clearly in a bad mood, but she had never worried about it.

Seeing that the weather was not good today, Duoduo decided to be lazy and stopped painting. He found a violin from the studio.

At first, Shang Muxia thought that she was just a poor, romantic painter, but she never thought that she would actually have so many talents.

"Mu Xia, I wanted to be lazy today. Do your best!"

The melodious zither music entered Shang Muxia's ears, and she instantly felt refreshed.

Although Shang Muxia didn't really understand violin, but she could tell that Duo Duo was extremely familiar with this piece.

"This song is really nice to listen to. What's its name?" Shang Muxia asked.

"Holy Mother, I did not play well. My brother's zither is very good!" Dodo smiled.

This was the first time Shang Muxia heard so much about her family.

"Your brother?" Shang Muxia asked tentatively.

"Yes, I have a brother, but he's not in Lian City."

Duo Duo seemed to be intentionally avoiding something, and Shang Muxia did not bring up this matter again.

Shang Muxia didn't know why, but she had a nagging feeling that it was complicated.

She was a little impressed by how well she could paint, how well she could play the piano, how easily she could open a gallery and eat without worry.

"Right, Mu Xia, do you have brothers and sisters?" He had heard Shang Muxia asking about her own background, so he asked her about it.

Shang Muxia smiled lightly: "I am an only child, my parents are both middle school teachers, at that time, I insisted on implementing the national policy on family planning."

"No wonder you're so cultured!" He smiled.

"Then they shouldn't live in the Lian City, right?" Many of them saw that Shang Muxia had always rented an apartment, and even if they felt wronged, they did not say a word. Thus, they guessed that her parents might not live in Lian City all year round.

"Now that they're retired, they went back to their hometown to live. They said the countryside is good!"

Shang Muxia was glad that her parents lived in the countryside. Otherwise, they would definitely worry about her.

Since it was raining, and the business in the Gallery was not good, Duo Duo could not let Shang Muxia stay here any longer, so he let Shang Muxia go back first.

Shang Muxia waited for a good half a day, but she still did not see Bai Ye who came to buy the painting.

Ever since Bai Ye had come by once, she had always thought that she would frequently visit this place.

It was unknown when she started to care so much about the man known as Mr. Bai.

It rained for a few days, and when the day finally cleared up, it was Sunday.

After a spring rain, the sky had become particularly clear.

However, Shang Muxia's mood was still not clear. Lin Zhiqian's invitation had always been stuck in her heart. Although she had already tactfully rejected, she had a premonition that Lin Zhiqian would still be waiting for her there.

Time passed minute by minute, in the blink of an eye, it was time for her to invite Lin Zhiqian.

Looking at the time on his phone, Shang Muxia kept comforting herself that Lin Zhiqian would definitely leave.

Just then, her phone suddenly rang, the caller was Lin Zhiqian.

"You're late, but I told you I'd be waiting for you!"

Before Shang Muxia could regain her senses, Lin Zhiqian quickly hung up.

Shang Muxia looked at the already gloomy sky and felt that she, a girl, going out in a hurry might be in danger. However, Lin Zhiqian had been waiting for her the entire time.

So she called Dodo to ask if she was free to come and stay with her.

However, Duo Duo couldn't pick up the phone for a long time. Shang Muxia hesitated for a while, but finally, she decided to agree to Lin Zhiqian's request one last time.

When they arrived at the riverside amusement park, Shang Muxia's memories were immediately awoken.

On a spring night, Lin Zhiqian stood at the entrance of the amusement park.

Lin Zhiqian was wearing a white shirt, waiting for her quietly, just like before.

For a moment, Shang Muxia thought that her Prince Charming, who was wearing a white shirt, had returned.

"Mu Xia, you're late!"

Back then, he had also been like this, quietly waiting for her.

Lin Zhiqian pulled Shang Muxia, and pulled her into the vortex of her memories.

The amusement park was quiet, just the two of them.

"No worries, I've booked the place. We can play however we want today."

Lin Zhiqian had a light smile on his face, looking exactly the same as how he looked at the beginning.
