Chapter 61 Sunrise No matter how time passes, no matter how the world changes...

The moon at the foot of the mountain is no different from the moon on the mountain. If there is a difference, it may be that the moonlight on the mountain is colder. As soon as Qiao Zhizheng stepped out of the car, he was hit by the mountain wind blowing through the leaves. Shivering with cold, he quickly jumped into the car and fell into the arms of Qiao Zheng who was lying on the flat back seat.

Qiao Zheng's embrace was warm and comfortable, with a sweet fragrance. Qiao Zhizheng realized it belatedly, "Did you change your perfume?"

Qiao Zheng's chest vibrated slightly, and a "hmm" sound came from above Qiao Zhizheng's head. Qiao Zheng's fingers slid from Qiao Zhizheng's earlobe to her neck and then to the exposed waistline on her clothes, making circles on her delicate skin.

Qiao Zhizheng sniffed her all over. "When did this happen? How come I didn't notice?"

"Hmm...just when I left the house, maybe the temperature in the car was high, so the fragrance spread."

"It's Crape Myrtle!" Qiao Zhizheng muttered to herself after confirming the main note of the perfume, "Why Crape Myrtle?"

Qiao Zheng imitated her distressed tone and said, "Yes, why is it Ziwei?"

Qiao Zheng's eyes were full of teasing, and Qiao Zhizheng was certain, "Is it because I gave you Ziwei?"

Qiao Zheng said nothing, but the smile in her eyes answered for her.

Qiao Zhizheng came up and kissed and rubbed her.

A moment later, Qiao Zhizheng was panting and nestled in Qiao Zheng's arms. Qiao Zheng held her and looked at the stars in the sky through the skylight.

The night is alluring, often making people do things they wouldn't normally do. For example, at this moment, Qiao Zheng felt an urge in her heart, "Do you want to see a play I've performed in?"

"Hmm?" Qiao Zhizheng raised her head, her eyes flashing with excitement. "What do you think?"

Qiao Zheng secretly felt a bit of a boastful streak in her heart, which was satisfied by Qiao Zhizheng's flattering attitude. Qiao Zheng was in a good mood, overcoming the bit of self-righteous shame that was choking her chest. Qiao Zheng cleared her throat and said with a tone of joy, "I brought a phone with me when I traveled through time. It contains clips of all the movies and TV series I've acted in. Hmm... I'll show them to you when I get back."

Qiao Zhizheng was overwhelmed by novelty and surprise at this moment. How could he describe this feeling?

When people are in love, they can see what their partner looked like as a child through old photos. They can see how their partner grew from childishness to maturity from photos taken before they met. When they listen to their partner talk about interesting stories from the past, they will think, wow~ she was so cute back then~ She grew up well in the time that I was not involved in, and then we met. I was unable to participate in her past, but I have her present, and I will go to a beautiful future with her.

But the situations of Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng are different. The trajectories of their first half of life are the same. Qiao Zheng knows all the stories that happened to Qiao Zhizheng, but Qiao Zhizheng has no idea about the trajectory of Qiao Zheng's life in the second half. She can only piece together a little bit of Qiao Zheng's life from the information Qiao Zheng occasionally revealed, and get a glimpse of the incomplete story that happened to her.

Qiao Zhizheng leaned on his side, his voice full of impatience, "Can we go back now? I want to see it now."

Qiao Zheng twisted her fingers around a strand of Qiao Zhizheng's hair and placed it on her lips, kissing it softly. "No rush, since we're here, let's watch the sunrise first."

Qiao Zhizheng still looked absent-minded. His soul had probably flown to the drawer of his bedroom at home, circling around a mobile phone that didn't belong to this era.

Qiao Zheng decided to do something to bring her back to her senses.

Her lips and tongue moistened her earlobe and moved all the way to her cheek, increasing her strength to leave a kiss mark that was neither too big nor too small. Qiao Zhizheng's mind and eyes were filled with only Qiao Zheng at this moment. He hugged her tightly, imagining himself as a class circle, and used force to embed the other half circle back into himself, merging into one, never to separate again.

In other words, it is not about inlaying, but about letting the two selves in time and space overlap and return to one body, so that there is no need to worry about separation ever again.

Qiao Zhizheng put the other side of her face closer to Qiao Zheng, blinked her wet eyes, and said softly, "I want this side too."

Qiao Zheng's heart melted into a soft piece. She lowered her head and sucked a small red flower on the other cheek. She laughed softly in Qiao Zhizheng's ear, "You can't go out for the next two days."

"Then I can pet the dog and the cat at home and keep you company."

"Ah...that's a really great idea."

"I've always wanted to ask, how did you develop your cooking skills?"

"Well... for a while, in order to save money and eat a balanced diet to avoid feeling weak, I bought my own groceries and cooked them myself. I just need to practice more."

"...It must have been painful to eat at first, right?"

"Just push yourself a little, it might taste bad but it won't kill anyone. Oh, oh, oh? Don't look at me like that, it's all in the past."

"Should I go too..."

"No, you're fine the way you are now. You don't need to learn anything that wastes your time. If you really can't do it, don't you still have your aunt and takeout? If you feel like it, just go out for a meal."

"I heard from a senior in the same crew that there's a shop in Lincheng that's been open for many years. The food is really good. I'll take you there if I have the chance."

"Yeah. I'll wait for you to take me there."

Unconsciously, the moonlight gradually faded, and the stars hid in the sky-blue curtain, leaving only a few scattered stars reluctant to leave. A hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, and slowly other colors faded, first light pink, then light orange, and golden light hit the clouds and merged with the clouds. The black mountains in the distance slowly turned into lush green.

The drowsy Qiao Zhizheng was woken up by Qiao Zheng, and they sat on the hood of the car, waiting for the sunrise together.

Qiao Zhizheng supported himself with his hands behind his back, unburdened himself and leaned lazily on the shoulder of Qiao Zheng who was carefully adjusting the camera parameters.

"Qiao Zhizheng!"

Hearing Qiao Zheng suddenly calling her, Qiao Zhizheng looked up and Qiao Zheng lowered her head.

A red sun jumped out from the cover of clouds, its golden-red light spread over the distant mountains and nearby trees, reflecting dazzling golden light on the windshield.

In this flashing light, with lush green mountains behind them and the chirping of birds in their ears, Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng exchanged a brief kiss. After the sound of a gentle shutter, this moment was captured in the camera. The two people in the camera looked at each other with love in their eyes. No matter how time passes, no matter how the world changes, this strong love will never fade.

It was on this day that a Weibo user named "It's Zheng Zheng, Not Zeng Zeng" posted a photo - the protagonist of the photo is the recently popular young actress Qiao Zhizheng. Behind Qiao Zhizheng is the surging forest, and above the forest is the brilliant morning sun. Qiao Zhizheng has her hands behind her back in front of her, each strand of her hair is flowing with warm golden light, her body is slightly leaning forward, looking at the camera with a smile.

Caption: My sun.

This Weibo post was pushed to Qiao Zhizheng's fans by big data, and soon a large number of comments emerged under the Weibo post "It's Zhengzheng, not Zengzeng".

"Wow! This picture is from a girlfriend's perspective! Where did you find it, sis?"

"Wow! This is great, this is great. It seems like Xiao Qiao's eyes are looking at me. She loves me so much."

"Can't anyone see that the person who took this photo also loves Xiao Qiao? My intuition tells me that only someone who really loves Xiao Qiao can take such a loving photo. A thumbs-up to the photographer who loves Xiao Qiao."

"Emm, did anyone notice that the phrase 'My Sun' looks familiar? It reminds me of 'My Star' that Xiao Qiao posted a while ago."

"Ha...ha...coincidence, right?"

"Congratulations to the blind students in the comment section, you found the highlight."

"Based on my limited knowledge of geography, this light, this angle, and this background should have been taken at Qingji Mountain outside Huadu. Believe me, I just finished the college entrance examination this year."

"I hit it, I hit it, I hit it. Mom asked me what I hit, and I said I hit the love wall of Chun Zheng CP. It turns out that real couples are so easy to hit."

"I guess this must be Sister Qiao's number."

"Ahhh, when I showed my mom the beautiful photos of my Chun Zheng couple, she told me that she met them in the store last night [attached a photo]"

Many fans responded to this comment and made accurate analysis.

"That means Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao went to a porridge shop in the middle of the night, and then ran to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise!"

"Am I the only one who's curious about who came up with this idea?"

"No need to think, it must be our Xiao Qiao. Da Qiao looks like the mature and calm older one. You know, the older ones dote on the younger ones the most [hehe]"

“I envy the main bag’s mother for being able to see the real person, but I don’t envy the main bag at all hehehe.”

"Which shop, which shop owner, please tell me where your shop is. I want to try to find out which shop these two people are staying up late at night to eat at."

"??? I compared the two photos and made a surprising discovery. What's on Xiao Qiao's face in this morning photo? Blush?"

"What's wrong with a girl putting on blush for a photoshoot? What's so shocking about that?"

"What if it's not blush? [Hehe]"

"The chief is still young, let's go out and talk."

"I envy the host's mother's open-minded attitude. I wish my mother would also allow me to be a fan."

"Why has the main bag been quiet?"

"I've been to the main package homepage. I'm still a junior high school student. I guess I'm in school now."

After enjoying the beautiful sunrise, the two drove back.

Qiao Zhizheng, who was full of energy when he came, was now leaning on the passenger seat with a tired look on his face. In contrast, Qiao Zheng was in high spirits as if he had eaten divine meat.

The car stopped in the garage. Qiao Zhizheng woke up with a start, looked at the outside environment, then looked at Qiao Zheng, and fell asleep again.

Qiao Zheng carried her back to her bedroom and covered her with a quilt. She tiptoed out of the room and turned around to see her grandmother sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, combing the doll's blonde hair with her hands, looking extremely kind.

Qiao Zheng paused and leaned against the door, looking at her grandmother.

Grandma noticed her and waved to her, "Zhizhi, come here."

Qiao Zheng walked over slowly.

"Zhizhi... Zhizhi will definitely live a happy life in the future, right?"

Qiao Zheng nodded vigorously and said "hmm".

"This way... Grandma will be relieved."

Qiao Zheng watched her grandmother sleeping peacefully in the morning light, and her lips curled up slightly with each breath. She must be having a sweet dream.

In the dream, there was her and her beloved granddaughter.

Qiao Zheng turned her head and saw the beautiful flowers in the yard. A breeze blew through the sea of ​​flowers, and a flower fell from the branch. In a trance, Qiao Zheng heard the sound of the flower falling.
