Chapter 1

What does it feel like to meet someone you once had a crush on after many years?

Or... I like him very much.

What to do?

"Excuse me, are you willing to marry Miss Miaomiao and love her for the rest of your life?"

"I do."

I dont want to!

Miaomiao resisted helplessly. She had never been in love before, so how could she suddenly get married? And she didnt even know the grooms name or what he looked like.

"Ms. Miaomiao, are you willing to marry Mr. Huo Siyan for the rest of your life?"

"I dont..."

Wait, Huo Siyan?

Miaomiao was stunned for 0.1 seconds, and quickly changed her words: "I do."

"Well, as long as you are willing to go."

In the quiet and dark room, a familiar voice came from the subtle operation of the air conditioner and humidifier.

Then, the layers of curtains were "brushed" open, and the sunlight broke through the window unscrupulously, and the room was instantly bright. Miaomiao frowned and subconsciously wanted to cover her eyes. Unexpectedly, as soon as she raised her hand, she was grabbed by someone and pulled up from the bed like pulling a carrot.

"...Mom?"

Miaomiao rubbed her eyes blankly, and when she saw the person in front of her clearly, she realized that it was just an illusion. The momentary joy was like a mirage, and there was no trace. She suddenly felt bored and was about to go back lazily.

An Rongzhen stopped her quickly: "Your brother called and said that he left an important document at home. You should send it to him later."

"I dont want it." Its too hot outside.

"Didnt I ask you just now that you are willing?"

Miaomiao: "..."

"Let my dad take it to work. Mom, Im so sleepy and want to sleep a little longer."

An Rongzhen looked at the big sun outside the window: "Your dad is resting today. Besides, its so hot, I cant bear to let my husband go out in the sun."

OK, OK, it turns out that the husband is dear, and the daughter is given as a gift for recharging the phone bill.

Miaomiao got up resignedly, put on her slippers and went into the bathroom. After a quick wash, she took off her cool little suspender nightgown, changed into a white cotton skirt, and tied her long hair into a bun.

Living room downstairs.

An Rongzhen heard footsteps and turned around to see her daughter yawning and walking towards her. Her face was clean and without makeup. She asked, "Dont you want to put on some sunscreen?"

"No." Miaomiao decided to make a quick decision. She picked up the sealed file bag on the table, selected a bunch of car keys, and waved lazily, "Lets go."

As Miaomiao stepped out of the door, her father Xie Qiming came out of the study and followed her slender figure with worried eyes: "Is Miaomiao okay?"

An Rongzhen also frowned and looked outside. The white car drove out of the underground garage and disappeared from her sight in a short while. She retracted her gaze: "Let her go out for some fresh air."

Xie Qiming sighed softly: "Ever since she attended the funeral of her high school classmate some time ago, she has been depressed for half a month after returning. She hides in her room all day and doesnt go anywhere."

An Rongzhen also sighed: "Miaomiao has been a sentimental child since she was young."

Miaomiao certainly knew what her mother was thinking, but it was a hot summer afternoon, and the sun was scorching, making people lose their temper. Fortunately, the road was smooth, and she arrived at the Flower Language Caf茅 where her mother and cousin had agreed to meet after 30 minutes.

There was a small ground parking lot next to the cafe. From a distance, it was full of various cars. She drove in to find a parking space. Although the speed was very slow, a small accident still happened.

A car rushed out from the left corner unexpectedly. Miaomiao reacted very quickly and stepped on the brakes. The other car also stopped suddenly. The tires rubbed violently with the hot ground, and the sound was harsh.

The low-key white Audi and the arrogant red BMW were only a few centimeters away from meeting.

Miaomiao and the owner of the BMW rolled down the window almost at the same time. The two young female drivers met and were stunned for a moment. The latter stuck her head out and brushed her short hair: "Sorry, sorry, I just got my drivers license."

It was a small and delicate face, also without makeup, and she smiled very sincerely. Miaomiao was not a person who cared about things, but she still reminded her: "Its very dangerous for you to do this. Youd better find someone to take you around before you go on the road alone."

"I know, thank you!" The short-haired girl knew she was in the wrong, and saluted her, "Theres an empty seat inside."

After the girl finished speaking, she drove away slowly.

Miaomiao found an empty space according to her instructions, parked the car, unbuckled the seat belt, and couldnt help but feel troubled again. The parking lot was about a hundred meters away from the cafe, and there was no shelter along the way...

Miaomiao was entangled, but fortunately, the sky seemed to hear her voice, and dark clouds began to accumulate in the southern sky. Slowly, the sun was swallowed up, and the sky and the earth suddenly darkened by several shades.

Miaomiao took the opportunity to push open the car door and get out. The heat rushed in and covered her head and face. She quickened her pace and felt like a piece of butter melting as she walked.

There was a clear dividing line in the sky above her head. The south was covered with dark clouds, while the north was still clear.

It was half sunny and half rainy.

When Miaomiao walked to the door of the cafe, the wind started to blow. A bunch of delicate roses beside the door, blooming among the crowded leaves, were as bright as clusters of bright flames, and were swayed by the wind.

She quickly pushed the door open and went in. The heat of the summer and the cold air in the room collided, causing her to shiver.

There were not many people in the cafe, and the piano music was melodious.

Miaomiao looked around and soon found a familiar figure near the window. The man sat upright, wearing a light blue pinstripe shirt, which was slim-cut and neat, and black suit trousers. It was Xie Nanzhengs outfit that she saw when he went out this morning after staying at her house last night.

I have to say, he is quite handsome.

There were two girls at the table across from him secretly looking at him, laughing and whispering from time to time, but he was unaware and was concentrating on thinking.

So, it is not strange at all that some people have been single since their mothers womb, no matter how good their conditions are.

Miaomiao wanted to tease him a few words, but changed her mind halfway. She quietly approached him and gently covered his eyes from behind.

"Guess... who I am."

Because of the disguise, the originally soft voice was deliberately prolonged, sounding delicate and coquettish, like a spoiled child.

Miaomiao herself felt awkward, and the man in front of her reacted even more exaggeratedly. She could clearly feel his body lines tense up, as if he was on guard.

No way.

From this angle, Miaomiao could only see his tall nose and slightly pursed thin lips. Suddenly, her brain seemed to be hit by something and she realized something was wrong.

At this time, a familiar male voice came from behind her, almost with a gnashing of teeth: "Xie An Miaomiao!"

Miaomiao turned around in surprise and saw Xie Nanzheng standing at the door, also wearing a light blue pinstripe shirt and black trousers.

"Boom!"

A flash of lightning jumped out of the black cloud, thunder resounded through the sky, and car alarms rang out outside.

Miaomiaos hair was also shaken, and after a slight start, she slowly turned her head: "Sir, Im so sorry, its a misunderstanding. I recognized the wrong person."

The man didnt react, and seemed to be distracted.

Xie An Miaomiao?

The girls hands were still covering her eyes, soft and warm. He blinked reflexively, and Miaomiao also felt the movement of his eyelashes between her fingers, and quickly let go.

"Im really sorry."

"Its okay." The man said lightly.

Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief, apologized again, and then turned to walk towards Xie Nanzheng. The man tilted his head slightly to look at her, and quickly turned back.

Xie Nanzheng sat on the chair, looking at her speechlessly.

Miaomiao called "brother" with a guilty conscience, sat down opposite him, and coughed lightly: "Someone has the same clothes as you."

Or a series of collisions.

Xie Nanzheng smiled: "Oh."

His eyes passed her and looked at the man who had the same clothes as him, and the action of tapping the table carelessly suddenly stopped.

As if he noticed his gaze, the man also looked over.

Xie Nanzheng suddenly stood up.

"Brother?"

Miaomiao didnt understand, and followed his line of sight. Her black eyes widened in disbelief, and her heart seemed to stop beating for a moment.

Another branch-like lightning exploded outside the French window, and the thunder shook the glass to the point of collapse.

Everything around seemed to be far away, and there was only one man left in Miaomiaos eyes.

The face of the bridegroom in the dream suddenly had a clear outline.

Huo Siyan.

The person who was originally thought to have no chance to meet again, met again like this, and just now... she even covered his eyes as a prank.

"Huo Siyan, you are back home too!" Xie Nanzheng greeted first.

They actually knew each other too?

Miaomiao watched Huo Siyan walking towards her. She sat up quickly, lowered her eyes and looked at the face reflected on the table, thinking, if only she hadnt been lazy to put on some light makeup before going out.

However, why was she so nervous? It had been many years, and he shouldnt remember her, right?

As Miaomiao was thinking this, Huo Siyan came behind her: "Well, Ive been back for more than half a year."

Unlike his slightly thin voice in high school, his voice sounded very low at this time.

Miaomiao restrained herself from looking back, 1 second 2 seconds 3 seconds... It seemed like a century, and she finally couldnt help but slightly deviate her angle and glanced hurriedly.

Both men were outstanding in appearance. Although they were dressed the same, their temperaments were very different. One was gentle and peaceful, and the other was handsome and cold. Even the waitress not far away looked at him without blinking.

When Miaomiao was trying to reduce her presence and become invisible, she heard Xie Nanzheng say: "This is my cousin, Xie An Miaomiao."

Miaomiaos heartbeat almost skipped a beat. Her mind was blank at first, and then thousands of thoughts emerged one after another, and finally converged into one thought, I wonder if he still remembers her?

Only then did she know whether to say hello or long time no see.

Huo Siyan nodded politely.

Miaomiaos heart was like the ground after being scorched by the sun, welcoming a storm. All the secret, expected, and happy feelings were washed away, and the chest was so empty that the echo of the heartbeat could be heard.

Sure enough, she didnt remember.

Why did she still have hope?

Xie Nanzheng didnt notice Miaomiaos abnormality and continued to introduce: "Miaomiao, this is Huo Siyan..."

The mobile phone in his pocket rang, he picked it up and answered it, listened for a few seconds and hung up: "The patient is in an emergency, I have to rush back to the hospital immediately."

Miaomiao handed over the file bag, Xie Nanzheng took it, told her to be careful on the way home, looked at Huo Siyan apologetically, and left in a hurry.

After Xie Nanzheng left, Miaomiao and Huo Siyan were very tacitly silent.

Miaomiao was a little sad for some reason.

Perhaps the sad thing was that even if she met this man again, she didnt have the status to sit down and chat with him properly, even if it was just like a friend.

Staying there would only add to the awkwardness.

Based on her understanding of Huo Siyan, he must have felt the same way, right?

She forced a smile: "Well, I remembered that I have something else to do, so Ill leave first. Goodbye."

Miaomiao opened the door, and the hot wind with the smell of rain swept in, blowing her skirt flying. She just took a step against the wind, but unexpectedly, the downpour "clattered"It came and instantly wet her skirt.

Miaomiao had to retreat back in dismay. The glass door reflected the figure of the man approaching slowly. She explained with a dry laugh: "Its raining so hard."

Huo Siyan didnt look out, but looked at her steadily: "Yeah, its heavy."

She still liked white clothes and a bun as she did in high school. Her appearance had not changed much, especially her eyes. Even after so many years, they were still as clear and clean as before.

Miaomiao didnt know that Huo Siyan was looking at her. She vaguely remembered the dream during her nap. It was so magical. The person who was only a flash in the pan in a dream and who was originally thought to be thousands of miles away was standing next to her.

If only... the rain lasted a little longer.

The rain in June came quickly and went quickly.

A few minutes later, the rain showed signs of easing slightly.

Huo Siyan heard a faint sigh and thought she was in a hurry, so he turned and walked to the counter.

Miaomiao saw him say something to the waiter, who took out a long-handled umbrella and handed it to him. He took it and thanked her.

The waitress waved her hands and smiled like a flower.

Then, Miaomiao saw Huo Siyan walking towards her with an umbrella. The orange light was soft, and he was tall and straight, walking slowly. She didnt know if it was because of the light, but she felt that his expression was also a little softer.

The piano music changed to Eason Chans "Long Time No See", and the hoarse voice full of loneliness sang: "I came to your city, walked the way you came..."

It was so appropriate.

Miaomiao felt a little sour in her nose and looked down at the floor.

The man had come to her and stood still. When Eason Chan just sang the phrase "Long Time No See", she heard him say.

"Xie Junior Sister, Ill take you out."

Miaomiao suddenly raised her eyes.

Hmm?

What did he call her?
