Turning around, Min Hui was surprised to see a face, involuntarily took three steps back, and looked at the person in front of her from head to toe.

She instantly understood why Su Tian followed Xin Qi every day, was completely out of temper and was willing to wait for him all the time.

Xin Qi looks too good-looking.

Min Hui is not a face control, she is more wary of beautiful men, but she also has to admit that Xin Qi has an unforgettable face. The five senses fit together harmoniously, but none of them stand out to the point of being distracting. High browbones, deep eyes, straight nose, arched lips. The face is small, so it's not the kind that is very domineering and cool, but the kind that is very natural and cute. Medium height, about 1.8 meters, slender, broad shoulders and thin body, wearing a slightly yellowed white T, like Min Hui, with the semicircle on the well cover printed on it, black jeans on the bottom, and a pair of black bottoms Nike shoes with white hook.

Refreshing, clean, youthful and full of vigor.

"You've grown taller." He stretched out his arms, "Come here and give me a hug."

Min Hui's brain was spinning rapidly, but her feet didn't move: "That—"

She came to Yong'an Bridge with luck, but she didn't expect to meet Xin Qi, and she was completely unprepared. Obviously, Xin Qi mistook herself for Su Tian, ​​and Min Hui was about to correct her when a pair of strong arms wrapped around her and hugged her tightly.

She struggled subconsciously, because the two were so close that they could hear each other's breathing. The mountain wind blew from the valley and circled above their heads. She didn't know whether she was nervous or just recovering from a serious illness. She felt the entire stone bridge shaking. A few passersby passed by, but no one noticed them, but there was a little girl eating a popsicle not far away, looking at them curiously and giggling.

Min Hui still held the half-eaten ice cream in her hand, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she finally wrapped her arms around his back gently. When he heard the news of Su Tian's death, he would hug him like this to express comfort anyway, and just take this matter ahead of schedule...

She even had a feeling that at this moment, Su Tian was watching them from the sky.

Xin Qi didn't speak the whole time, just pressed his face tightly on top of her head, as if immersed in memories.

Taking advantage of this moment, Min Hui started a draft in her heart:

- "Xin Qi, I want to tell you something unfortunate... I'm not Su Tian, ​​Su Tian has passed away."

No, can't say dead, she just disappeared. Can't say it so directly, it's too simple and rude, what if he can't stand a heart attack?

- "Xin Qi, there is something I want to tell you, I'm not Su Tian, ​​Su Tian didn't come today. The thing is, she jumped into the river to save me and was swept away by the water. So far Found it. Don't worry, you have to trust Su Tian's water ability, she may have swum to land somewhere else, was injured and won't be able to go home for a while..."

No, it is too optimistic, the greater the hope, the more disappointment. He must be going crazy looking for Su Tian everywhere, just like those parents who lost their children and ruined the rest of their lives.

——"Xin Qi, listen to me, I'm not Su Tian, ​​Su Tian is missing, and the police are trying to find her. She was swept away by the flood to save me. Please entrust me with the task of finding her. I will report the news to you as soon as possible..."

No, it's too bland, too fact-based, as if she's not responsible for this.

- "Xin Qi, I'm not Su Tian, ​​your Su Tian is gone. It's all my fault, can I treat myself as Su Tian and compensate you?"

Well, very heroic and righteous enough, the question is, do they want you?

...

Min Hui's mind became more and more confused, and she didn't know what to do next...

"You're shaking," he said. "It's cold?"

She nodded frantically.

"Then let me hug you like this until the warmth comes."

"..."

There was a citrus smell on his body. don't know if it was perfume or shower gel. It was light and sour, as if he had come to a fruit forest. The T-shirt was thin, her face was hot, and his heartbeat could be heard through the skin.

She counted roughly, one hundred and fifty beats per minute must be exceeded.

"I'm not cold....Someone is watching us." Min Hui struggled slightly in his arms, and he finally let go.

"What are you afraid of?" He grimaced at the girl who was eating the popsicle, and pulled Min Hui behind Xuan, who was standing next to a big tree, "I've been waiting here for nine days, and the more I wait, the more anxious I'll be, and you'll be late. One day, I won't be able to see me anymore, I've already jumped off this bridge." Then he pointed to his T-shirt, "And this dress, I also wear it for nine days, wash it every night, air conditioner I couldn't dry it in the room, so I had to blow it with a hair dryer—does it smell bad?"

"No."

His eyes fell on her half-eaten ice cream: "Look, after so many years, you still like mango flavor."

Min Hui especially likes mangoes, but she didn't expect it to be Su Tian's taste too. She sighed, two girls who were so different now finally have one thing in common.

"Do you remember the first time we ate ice cream here, one ball per person, I want strawberries, you want mangoes, I finished eating three or two bites, you gave me your one and said no Love the mango flavor."

"Really?" She dug out a large spoonful and put it in her mouth, tasting it carefully, "I don't remember."

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat."

"May I taste it?"

She was about to hand over the rest of the ice cream when her mouth was blocked by him. His kiss was soft, yet lingering. She wanted to break free, and found that her head was tightly held by his hands, and her whole body was pressed against a tree. He kissed and murmured: "Tian Tian, ​​I think of you every day, do you know? You If I don't come again, I'll go crazy!"

"Xin Qi—listen to me—"

He ignored her and just kissed her passionately. After a while, he finally calmed down, pressed his forehead against hers, and touched her frightened face with a smile. Both were breathing heavily.

"Xin Qi," Min Hui took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and gathered up her courage, "I have something to tell you."

"What a coincidence," he scratched her nose, "I have something to tell you too."

"You speak first."

"You talk first." Xin Qi looked at her intently, "but don't tell me you're married."

"That's not it."

"Okay, I'll talk first." Xin Qi took a long sigh, "I will have a heart operation next month. The doctor said that if it is successful, I won't need another heart operation in my life."

"That's great," Min Hui was about to applaud when she thought about it, "What if it doesn't work?"

"Then he will die on the operating table. It should have been done at the beginning of the year. I was afraid that if I failed, I would miss this meeting, so I kept delaying it."

She looked at him worriedly and forcibly swallowed the words she spat out of her mouth. The brain started to fly again:

——If he told the truth now, would he not want to live?

- Will you refuse surgery?

——Even... martyrdom?

"Don't worry, my luck has always been good, otherwise I wouldn't live to see you." Seeing her uneasy look, he held her hand, "So we need to live in New York for a while after we get married. "

What? Getting married? Is the progress bar flying?

Min Hui looked at him dumbfounded: "Marriage?"

"Yes, I said, come back to marry you." His attitude was serious and serious, "The letter is very clear, have you forgotten?"

"But……"

"Also, I proposed to you when I was six years old, and you said yes."

"Six years old?" Min Hui's voice suddenly rose, "Do you believe what six-year-old children say?"

"Have you changed your mind?" He frowned, his face turned up, "Ms. Su Tian?"

"..." She opened her mouth and closed it again.

"Yes, I believe it. Reach out, Tian Tian," he glared at her resentfully, took a shiny thing out of his pocket, and slowly put it on her middle finger, "this is your engagement ring. ."

Min Hui looked down and saw that it was a simple six-prong diamond ring, one of which was a solitary diamond that shone brightly under the refraction of the sun.

It's too bad—she wanted to take off the ring, but when she looked up, she saw Xin Qi's bright eyes, so she could only smile at him.

"It's the style you like, remember?"

I didn't write it in the diary, Min Hui thought, how could I remember?

"In that chess game, the dean led the team to the provincial capital. Passing a shop window, you pointed to the ring on it and said, you want one too. I said yes, I'll buy it for you when I grow up. It’s over.—do you remember?”

What a beautiful past, what a pure feeling, he remembers all the oaths and promises. After a long wait, across thousands of mountains and rivers... came here for the appointment of a lifetime, but it was all in vain.

Min Hui stared at him with wide eyes, her eyes were red, she nodded vigorously: "Well, I remember."

At this moment, she felt that the only thing she could do was to try her best to let Xin Qi return to New York safely, complete the operation smoothly, and tell him the news slowly after he recovered. Until then, don't provoke him. Right now, he is in a state of ecstasy. He is excited, excited and full of hormones. If he hears of Su Tian's death, he will die of a heart attack here. Min Hui's sin will be deeper and she will be killed a life.

Thinking of this, Min Hui unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, I didn't say it first. With Xin Qi's impulsive personality, I'm afraid he will really jump off the bridge...

"I'm done talking about my business, it's your turn." Xin Qi took her hand and walked towards the playground, "Let's talk as we walk, go to the ice cream shop. I hope there is coffee in the shop, you You can also warm up for a while.”

"My business—" Min Hui couldn't remember anything for a while, and had an idea, "I have a younger brother who was kidnapped with me when I was a child... I have been looking for him all these years. Just today, there is News. He may be in Mingshui County."

"Where is Mingshui County?"

"Suihua."

"Suihua is not too far from here, you don't need to take a plane."

Min Hui couldn't help laughing: "It's been so long since you left, do you still remember where Suihua was?"

"I didn't leave when I was young. I was thirteen years old at the time, and I can remember a lot."

Min Hui plans to coax him back to the United States as soon as possible: "So, you go back to New York for surgery first. As for me, go to Suihua to find my brother. Let's meet again when you recover? Okay?"

"No." He shook his head. "Your brother is my brother. This matter is more important than the operation, and it won't take a few days. I'll go with you and take care of you on the way."

"..."

"After I went to the United States, I once called the orphanage and they said that you had been picked up by your mother and stayed at a relative's house, and gave me your relative's address. I wrote you a letter immediately, but it was all returned. When I called to ask again, they said that the address was where your relatives worked and lived, and it was estimated that they had moved. After that, they could not be contacted again. By the way, are you still called Su Tian? Or should you change your name? already?"

"The name on the ID card is Min Hui. But you can continue to call me Su Tian. What about you?"

"The English name is on the passport, just call me Xin Qi."

"Um."

"By the way, are your parents okay?" Xin Qi asked.

"All passed away."

"Oh." He patted her shoulder gently, "When did it happen?"

"Many years ago."

"Unfortunately, I'm not around."

"It's okay, it's all over."

"Then you now—"

Xin Qi is a smart person, not so easy to deceive. Min Hui thought to herself, if she continued to ask questions like this, she would be ganged up sooner or later, and she had to find a way to stop him. So he stopped suddenly, turned around and said, "Xin Qi, can you not ask me about my past? I don't want to tell, because a lot of things happened that made me sad."

His body paused, and a distressed expression appeared on his face: "Of course, of course. I won't ask."

"I wouldn't ask about your life in America either."

"I don't mind telling you—"

"Don't say it, okay? Let's just skip the days when we're not together and pretend they don't exist. Is that okay?"

He was stunned for a moment, confused and didn't want to understand, but nodded anyway: "Okay. I'll listen to you."

"thanks."

"It must have been very difficult for you these years. Your parents have passed away, and no one will take care of you..."

"It's okay." Min Hui sighed deeply.

The ice cream shop does have hot drinks. Xin Qi asked for two cups of milk tea.

He took a slow sip, raised his head, and saw Min Hui staring into his eyes.

"Your eyes—not myopic?" she asked curiously.

"I had an operation and an intraocular lens was implanted in it. Now the vision in both eyes is normal." He reached out and twisted her face, "I can finally see you clearly."

How blind you are, people who miss you day and night can admit their mistakes. She smiled bitterly and touched her face: "Is there any change?"

"I've become taller and more beautiful. But I have more worries. It's not as easy to grasp as before." He tilted his head and studied her expression with interest, "What about me? Have you become more?"

"Not much." She stirred the milk tea with a spoon, "Still so impatient."

A hug, a kiss, a diamond ring, and a wedding date—four major events settled in less than five minutes.

"Are you in a hurry? I've been waiting for you here for nine days. Tell me, why didn't you come?"

"I'm sick and have a bad cold." She rolled her eyes, "Mainly, I don't think you're likely to come. You didn't come three years ago. That time I waited from five in the morning until one in the middle of the night... "

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry!" He repeatedly apologized, "I had a seizure that month, and I had an operation. My recovery was slow, and I couldn't fly at all. I was very sad at the time. I immediately went back to the country. When I found it, the welfare home was gone, and the teachers were all transferred. I called the Civil Affairs Bureau to see if they could find your information. The people there said that the information was incomplete. After several relocations, After processing a lot of documents, people like you and me have been away from the orphanage for ten years, and only a few simple records are left. I can't find you, so I have to go back again. "

"Fortunately, you didn't give up."

"I never thought about giving up." His eyes were calm, "to be with you is my wish since I was a child. No matter what happens to you or what you become, I will find you and be with you forever. together."

real or fake? Min Hui looked at him blankly, feeling unbelievable. But his tone was very firm, looking at her full of joy, she couldn't think of any reason for him to lie to her, so she couldn't help crying: Chunmiao, why did you save me? Look at you, what have you missed?

"Xin Qi-"

"Maybe you've had bad luck, but you see, your fingers are all there." He smiled and pointed under the table, "toes are also." Then he pointed to himself, "I am also. You still What are you afraid of?"

"..."

"I'm here, everything has me, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

She had nothing to say, smiled and nodded.

"Tian Tian," he rubbed her fingers, "let's get married."

"..."

"I brought all the papers."

"But"

"You're right. I'm still so impatient. If you don't want to marry me, I'll have anxiety."
