Chapter 16

Before leaving, Xia Chen asked, "We're going to the park for a picnic tomorrow. Let's go buy some related things."

The idea of ​​picnic was proposed at the last minute. Since Xia Chen had no experience of picnic, he really wanted to try it.

This also determines tomorrow's itinerary.

After waving to each other, they left in different directions.

"I heard online that this movie has good reviews and is a romance," Ming Yunle said. "It seems like I haven't been to a movie theater in a long time, maybe at least a year or two."

Ruan Yan: "Well, actually I haven't been here for a long time."

"real?"

"My usual leisure activities before were to sit in the library and read a book, or find a nice place to sit and daydream." After saying the latter part, Ruan Yan looked at Ming Yunle and said, "Now that I think about it, our hobbies are a bit similar."

Ming Yunle thought about how she had met Ruan Yan several times by chance, and nodded in agreement.

If your hobbies are not similar, you may not meet each other.

It was still early for the movie, so they had a meal first and then went for a walk.

As he walked, Ming Yunle was stunned when he saw the park in front of him.

This park is not...

Ruan Yan also saw it and said, "I remember we met here several times before, and later we liked to take a walk here together."

After saying that, Ruan Yan extended an invitation to Ming Yunle: "Would you like to go in and take a walk? Let's revisit the old place."

There were basically no people in the park at this time, and they walked for a while without running into many people.

The two of them walked to a place, and Ming Yunle suddenly stopped.

"It's right here." Ming Yunle pointed to a big tree?

Ruan Yan looked at Ming Yunle in surprise: "What's wrong? Where?"

"Aren't you curious about when I fell in love with you? I discovered that I liked you right here. At that time, you smiled at me very beautifully, praised my paintings, and told me that you were willing to help me. In short, you said a lot."

Hearing him say this, Ruan Yan was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "So, so...you...you liked me when you were in K City?"

"Yes." Perhaps the familiar scene made Ming Yunle feel a little emotional, and he directly expressed his feelings at the time.

"Then I hesitated for a long time whether to pursue you, and in the end you left."

Ruan Yan didn't know what to say.

Surprise, astonishment, and heartache mixed together. What was Ming Yunle thinking at the farewell party that day?

Ming Yunle noticed that Ruan Yan's expression was not right and patted him on the shoulder.

Ming Yunle shrugged. "I let it go after a while, but who would have thought I'd meet you again in City M? At the time, I felt it was fate. But now I think it's a blessing that we met."

After hearing Ming Yunle's words, Ruan Yan was stunned for a long time and then said, "I, I didn't expect it. I always thought you were in City A..."

Ming Yunle: "I didn't show it before, how did you think of it? But I didn't expect that my pursuit of you was so subtle, to the point where the person involved didn't even notice."

The two of them didn't speak for a long time. Ruan Yan was still digesting Ming Yunle's words, while Ming Yunle felt a little shy about saying those words to himself.

How could he just say it out loud!!!

He rarely expresses his feelings so directly, and he seems to have changed a little after being with Ruan Yan.

He dared to express his feelings for Ruan Yan, but felt really embarrassed after expressing it!

But he couldn't take it back after he had already said it, so he cleared his throat and said, "Well, the movie is about to start, and if we don't go now, we'll have to eat."

Until the end of the movie and the time he walked back to the hotel, Ruan Yan looked as if he was daydreaming.

Near the hotel, Ruan Yan seemed to finally react and said to Ming Yunle, "I will love you very much."

Ming Yunle thought for a while and said, "I think you are taking our relationship very seriously."

At this point, Ming Yunle asked, "Don't you think you're not good enough to me?"

Ming Yunle really felt that Ruan Yan loved her enough.

Ruan Yan couldn't describe his mood at the moment.

Probably because I was so shocked after hearing Ming Yunle's words that I didn't know what I was saying.

Although I feel much better now, I am still a little nervous.

Ming Yunle saw his expression and smiled: "Okay, we have a picnic tomorrow, so go to bed early."

After returning to the room and closing the door, Ruan Yan leaned against the door panel and covered his face with his hands.

It was a long time before he let go.

After taking a shower, Ruan Yan lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Today’s experience was such a surprise.

"Are there so many people having a picnic?"

Xia Chen saw several people picnicking in the park and asked Ming Yunle, "Cousin, do people in K City like to picnic here?"

"Because this is the largest park in K City, many people come here. If you want to find a more secluded place, there are quite a few."

Xia Chen didn't care about it. What did it matter if there were many people or few people?

They just enjoy the scenery and have a meal, so it doesn't matter whether there are many or few people.

Because everyone is doing their own thing, even if there are people around, it is very quiet.

After putting the equipment and the prepared food away, Xia Chen's eyes lit up.

This was his first time trying a picnic in the park and he found it very novel.

They didn't prepare much food, and the main purpose was to enjoy the scenery.

The park is beautiful in autumn, with golden color everywhere. The more Xia Chen looked at it, the more he felt that it was a good decision to come for a picnic this time.

Xia Chen raised his phone and took pictures of the scenery one after another, then turned the camera towards them and said, "Come on, my expression can't be so distorted in this photo."

Xia Chen finally took a photo that he was very satisfied with.

A few people chatted and sat here for a long time.

"Eat this, it's delicious." Xia Chen pointed at the food in front of him and said, "Next time I'll learn this."

Ming Yunle took a bite, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and then opened his eyes wide: "It's really delicious."

"Right, just wait and see, I want to learn it."

After they had finished enjoying the scenery, they went to pack up their picnic utensils.

After cleaning up, they didn't leave, but walked around the park.

Xia Chen: "Autumn is so beautiful, take another picture for my brother."

After saying that, he took out his mobile phone, took several photos of the scenery and sent them out.

"I don't know what Xia You is cooking right now, so I'll share it with him. I don't know if I can learn that dish, but I can try making it for him when I get back."

"Xia You?" Ming Yunle asked, "I haven't seen him for a long time. You two have very similar personalities."

Xia Chen said: "Yeah."

Xia Chen began to praise Xia You endlessly, and said that he would definitely bring back some specialties from K City for Xia You when he returned.

Ming Yunle thought about what Xia You was probably doing in the original novel, and it was almost the same as what Xia Chen said, probably busy with his career.

Ming Yunle can recall some plots because he encounters related things, which makes it easier to evoke his memories.

Otherwise, if he tried hard to remember it, it would be difficult.

Just like the incident with Mr. Zhao before, Ming Yunle had never remembered that Mr. Zhao was looking for someone before, but when he encountered it, it was like opening a box of memories.

He also remembered that the person Mr. Zhao had mistakenly found also had a story, but unfortunately he still couldn't remember the details.

Even so, he felt that his memory was strong enough.

When meeting Xia You before, Ming Yunle mentioned that if there was anything he needed help with, he could just ask.

Ming Yunle was very sincere when he said this. He really wanted to help the other person, and I believe Xia You could see it too.

Later they became familiar with each other and often sent messages to each other.

Most of the things they talked about were games and books, with occasional topics like music.

No other ones were mentioned.

Ming Yunle walked a few steps and felt something fell on his hair. He touched it and found it was a leaf.

He had just picked a leaf and was holding the petiole to look at the golden color when he noticed that something seemed to have fallen on his head again.

Ming Yunle touched it and found another leaf on his head.

After getting it this time, Ming Yunle was a little speechless.

He found that the leaves really liked to fall on his head, so he put on his baseball cap skillfully.

Ruan Yan pointed and said, "This baseball cap is the one I picked up for you that day, right?"

"Yeah." Ming Yunle said, "I especially like to wear this when I travel."

Ruan Yan: "Fortunately I helped you, otherwise we would have missed each other in M ​​City, which would have been such a pity."

Ming Yunle thought of the scene that day, nodded, and suddenly looked at Gu Jing, whom he had never thought of asking.

"Why did you run so fast then?"

Gu Jing was a little surprised: "So you saw it. At that time, I had a stomachache and was looking for a toilet."

So that's how it is. The unsolved mystery that Ming Yunle had been curious about for a long time but forgot to ask about finally got the answer.

The park was so beautiful that they were reluctant to leave, so they kept walking along the path in the park.

Xia Chen took many more photos.

When he put down his phone again, he remembered that Ming Yunle's house here had not been sold yet, so he asked, "Cousin, is your house in K City covered in dust?"

Ming Yunle said "hmm".

Xia Chen: "What a pity, it would be nice to go to your house and sit down."

"Don't think about it. The house should be covered in dust. Let's talk about it next time we have a chance."

"I don't know when the next time will be." Xia Chen sighed.

It was not until the afterglow of sunset that they reluctantly decided to leave.

"Since you want to go to different places, let's go our separate ways."

On the fourth day of their trip, they planned to split up.

In fact, they only planned to be here for a week in total, and they had already visited all the places they particularly wanted to go.

Ming Yunle and Ruan Yan, who had lived in K City for a long time, really didn't know where to go, so they decided to revisit their old place.

Ming Yunle thought, "Let's go to all the places where their stories are recorded."
