Chapter 48 Good Friends

The handful of peach petals he had plucked had already scattered over the two of them. Yan Ning felt like he was drowning in this pink and romantic scenery.

When Qi Yu looked at them with doubtful eyes, Yan Ning felt as if he was in another world.

He tried his best to pull his consciousness out of this strange palpitation.

After calming down, he asked doubtfully: "Do we know each other?"

The man did not speak, but tightened his arms, as if he was holding some rare treasure.

When she heard his question, her expression was like the ivy that withered on the wall overnight, desolate and decayed.

Yan Ning was frightened by his own thoughts and made another request in a low voice.

"Can you...can you put me down first?"

This is so weird, and Sister Qi Yu is watching from the side.

The man put him down and carefully brushed off the petals on his body. After he stood firm, he gently touched his cheek.

Then the joy in his eyes became more obvious, with tears flickering faintly.

It was the first time in Yan Ning's memory that he made someone cry. He was a little at a loss and explained carefully: "What's wrong with you? I don't mean to blame you, it's just weird to hug like that. Don't be sad, we can take you to play together!"

He glanced at the wall. Time was running out.

Then he said to Qi Yu: "Let's go!"

Then the two of them quickened their pace, and Yan Ning turned back and said with a smile: "Do you want to come with us? Come on!"

…………

The girl had a side braid, and her pink headscarf fluttered in the breeze as she turned her head. She waved her palm and pointed at the mountains behind her.

"We're here! This is our first stop today! Ding ding ding ding!"

Yan Ning wiped the sweat off his face. He was sweating after just a few steps.

“Hike?”

The mountains are so high, and the lush bushes cover the soft ground.

Qi Yu patted the basket beside his arm and said, "Yes, let's go. I have prepared the basket. Today's goal is to collect herbs from all over the mountain!"

Yan Ning didn't stop and continued to follow Qi Yu: "Gathering herbs?"

No wonder I was in the mood to take him out today, it turned out to be to collect herbs,

But it’s also good this way, as long as he isn’t confined to the small house. The air in the mountains is good, and he likes it too!

Qi Yu gave each of them a book.

"This one's for you!"

"This one's for you!"

I opened another book as an example.

"See? There's a picture on this one, and the small words below are descriptions. You can recognize the herb by combining the picture and the words!"

After saying that, Qi Yu went into the woods by himself, startling a group of pheasants, which flew into the air with a clanging sound.

After Qi Yu left, no one spoke. The forest was silent and Yan Ning was a little frightened.

He took the initiative to talk to the man who had been following them silently: "There are so many pheasants, they fly so high, yellow beaks, colorful tails, black caps, do you think the names I gave them sound nice?"

The boy's white fingertips pointed in the air, and the clear and loud sound lingered in this space where only they were.

Xie Jingyu's eyes couldn't help but moisten again: "It sounds good."

You can do whatever you want, and you can say whatever you want, just don't leave me again.

Yan Ning touched his nose, secretly proud that he had made a particularly honest and reliable friend today.

"It doesn't sound very good, I just picked it randomly. Why are you so obedient?"

Xie Jingyu stared at the person who was lost and found in front of him, I finally found you...

His Adam's apple slid, moistening his throat, and his voice became a little softer from hoarse: "As long as you choose it, it sounds good. What's your name... Why do you want to jump over the wall..."

This new friend had a lot of questions, but he was quite talkative. Yan Ning generously extended his hand: "My name is Yan Ning. Do you want to be my friend? If you do, I will tell you why I jumped over the wall!"

This was the first time Yan Ning took the initiative to make friends. While inviting him, he threatened the "honest and simple" and good-looking man in front of him.

He was so proud of his own wit that it was difficult for him to refuse me!

The man stood closer to him and nodded sincerely: "Okay, I'll be your friend. My name is Xie Jingyu. We are friends. You can just call me Jingyu. Now can you tell me why you jumped over the wall?"

As expected, he took the bait. Yan Ning put his hands on his waist and straightened his back.

He thought about it and became a little discouraged: "Oh, my brother is very strict with me and doesn't let me go out. Today, Sister Qi Yu secretly took me out and the door was locked, so I had to climb over the wall."

Xie Jingyu wanted to touch his head to comfort him, but was afraid of scaring him, so he raised his hand and retracted it.

Yan Ning didn't notice it, and his tone became depressed: "Don't blame my brother, I was just having fun when I was on a cruise and accidentally flipped over. Fortunately, my brother saved me.

After that, he didn't let me out. He was worried about me.

But I really want to be freer, like... well, like these pheasants, or like petals falling in the water, following the river to see the outside world. Can you understand this feeling?

Hey, I'm just saying this casually. My brother doesn't like to hear me say this at home, and neither does A-Shan. I don't have anyone to talk to.

You are my friend today, that’s why I told you.”

Xie Jingyu looked at the broken branch. His mood at the moment was just like the branches, tearing and painful. Although it was broken, it was still connected to a piece of bark, which was torn painfully.

The pampered young master of the Wei Mansion, Xie Jingyu, the upright Princess Hexuan, was hidden in this unknown town by someone with ulterior motives.

Imprisoned in a square courtyard, like a concubine waiting to die in the cold palace, like a canary covered in an iron cage for viewing,

He saved so many people, but he had to pay such a heavy price because of his compassion.

Xie Jingyu clenched his palms, letting his fingers creak, and then he sighed and tried to raise the corners of his mouth. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had made this expression.

Try to look kinder.

"Well, tell me more about yourself. We are friends and I want to know more about you."

Why don't you remember me? Why did you lose your memory...

Three years... During these long years, Xie Jingyu almost thought that he would die alone again.

Yan Ning was overjoyed. Today was a great day. Not only could he go out and have fun, but he could also make such good friends.

"Really? I'll tell you slowly while we look for herbs. Otherwise, Sister Qi Yu won't take me out to play next time.

However, I have told you so much, you also have to tell me about yourself later, we need to understand each other! ”
