When the peach blossoms bloomed, the two peach trees transplanted from the yard grew to nearly three meters tall after continuous water and fertilizer nourishment.

The peach blossoms are in full bloom, and from a distance they look like stacked pink clouds.

The flower is white when it first blooms, and becomes darker pink as time goes by, mixed with some crisp green leaves, which fall in waves when the breeze blows.

The apricot blossoms are charming to people, the willow blossoms fly towards people, and the peach blossoms smile to people.

Nothing signifies the arrival of spring more than the pink blossoms of peach trees and green willows.

He Xiaojie stood at the entrance of the alley, head down, rubbing her left foot on the ground, getting a little anxious as she waited.

Ever since she met Wen Jie by chance last time and was sent home by him, a fixed figure has appeared in her imagination before going to sleep, and the story of the two of them plays out in her mind every day.

Later, the Xiao family incident happened, and He Xiaojie was scolded by her aunt at her grandmother's house. Undoubtedly, she developed a lot of inferiority complex.

She was never worthy of him in the first place, and now her reputation was ruined, leaving her with no hope at all.

Having only met him once, He Xiaojie's feelings for him remained at the stage of admiration, and she didn't feel too heartbroken when she gave up her fantasy.

I felt sad several times late at night, but I still got up and went to work as usual the next day.

Of course, even though she was feeling turbulent inside, she never showed it outwardly.

She was afraid that her mother would make a fuss and go and disturb others, and she was even more afraid that others would laugh at her wild imagination.

But when she gradually forgot about it, Wen Jie took the initiative to find her and said that her kettle was left at the repair shop last time and the mechanic contacted him to pick it up.

He happened to have some free time, so he gave it to her on the way.

He Xiaojie didn't dare to think about whether the "just right" and "on the way" in his words were true or false.

But her heart, beating so hard that it felt swollen and painful, told her that this was her last chance. If she didn't seize it, they would probably never meet again.

So, she plucked up the courage and invited him to dinner in the name of gratitude.

Wen Jie readily agreed and went to a state-owned restaurant with her. They each ordered a bowl of noodles and chatted while eating. They got along better than last time.

Some of Wen Jie's ideas seem too unconventional and out of touch with the times to people today.

For example, if parents are too harsh on their children, the children can take the initiative to sever ties and find a more qualified caregiver;

For example, a woman does not necessarily have to get married, and even if she is married, she does not necessarily have to have children. Her health is the most important thing.

Others may think that his ideas are too radical, or even that he has a mental problem.

But He Xiaojie, influenced by her aunt's ideas that were fifty years ahead of her time, said that this was just the beginning.

Besides, she herself was not a conservative person, so she nodded in agreement, saying that it was right for people to value themselves a little more sometimes.

Of course, the slogans to the outside world must be shouted loudly.

Some people are extremely selfish, squeezing the very blood out of others in the name of doing good for them.

Some people complain about their hard work every day, but if you look closely, what have they really done? Nothing, they've just taken advantage of the fruits of others' labor.

But then again, people like this have a good life.

They were chatting animatedly and almost forgot about time. They only realized what was going on when the waiter came to the table and asked them to leave.

The two exchanged a self-deprecating look and laughed together, and the ambiguity spread silently.

Wen Jie sent her home. When they parted, He Xiaojie, not knowing what was wrong with her, actually took the initiative to make an appointment with him to meet next time.

The other party was also puzzled and actually agreed.

This moment is the time and place they agreed on.

The longer He Xiaojie waited, the more she thought about it.

Sometimes she was thinking about what to say later, and sometimes she was thinking that Wen Jie might be fooling her and actually had no intention of coming over.

No, she couldn't think of him like that. Maybe he was too busy with work and couldn't spare the time.

Or maybe he was being framed at the time and didn't want to embarrass her in person, so he was just being polite to her, as a tacit understanding between adults. Unfortunately, she took it seriously.

The setting sun lengthened her shadow, and the crowds on the road gradually thinned out.

He Xiaojie stubbornly waited there, hoping for an explanation.

Finally, Wen Jie appeared and hurried over.

"Sorry for the long wait. My sister was sick and I spent some time taking care of her at home."

"fine."

He Xiaojie's heart immediately dropped back into her stomach, and she forgave the other person in a few words. "Is your sister okay? Actually, you don't have to come. Just ask someone to tell me."

"She has an old illness and has taken medicine. Do you want to go to my house to see her?"

He Xiaojie's face suddenly flushed. "This is not good. Who would come to someone's house without bringing anything? I..."

Will she meet his parents? If she is asked about her identity, how will she explain it?

The girlfriend is too close, and the friend is too distant, so it’s better to say she is his colleague.

As if seeing through her thoughts, Wen Jie smiled and said, "It's okay. My sister and I are the only ones at home, so it's usually quite quiet. You can still chat with her when you go."

"Oh, sure. I'll go with you."

She secretly cursed herself for overthinking and got on her bike to follow him.

On the way, Wen Jie introduced his family to her, and He Xiaojie finally understood why he had those seemingly unorthodox ideas.

Wen Jie and his sister were not left to be raised by their grandmother when they were born. His father was beaten to death in a melee while trying to collect a debt from a loan shark, and his body was thrown into a river at random.

After receiving the compensation from her husband, my mother became addicted to gambling. Instead of going to a special casino, she looked for people to play cards with everywhere.

Others play a few games for fun, but she plays all day long and doesn't care about her family at all.

Playing cards has its winners and losers. At first she just didn't go home, but later she was set up by a gang of people.
