Liu Ying explained: "Ah Heng went to pick me up earlier."
She smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Ah Heng is really fooling around. He took advantage of the fact that we were engaged since childhood and I wasn't even engaged yet, and rushed over to chase him away as my fiancé."
Having said that, she glanced at Zhou Yiheng with a reproachful look.
Nangong Jin's smile froze on his face, and he stared blankly at Zhou Yiheng: "You two..."
"I originally wanted to visit my sister at home when I came back, but Ah Heng said that since it was almost the New Year, there was no rush to visit." Liu Ying smiled and stepped forward to hold Nangong Jin's hand. "I didn't expect to meet you on the street. Since we are so destined, how about I treat you to a meal at a nearby teahouse? It's inevitably inconvenient to talk standing on the street."
Nangong Jin was thrown into a trance by the sudden news.
Li Sisi walked up to her and pulled her along: "Let's go to a nearby teahouse and talk about what's going on."
Zhou Yiheng tried to stop him: "It's not convenient today, how about we make an appointment another day?"
Liu Ying looked at him puzzledly: "Didn't you say you had nothing to do today and just wanted to go shopping with me? It's rare to meet Sister Xiaojin now, so we still have time to go to the teahouse and sit down. What's the inconvenience?"
Zhou Yiheng looked at Nangong Jin: "Xiao Jin, it seems like you guys just arrived? How about we arrange a good time next time so we can sit down and chat slowly?"
Nangong Jin saw that Zhou Yiheng didn't seem to want him to contact his cousin at this time. What was he afraid of?
Nangong Jin had a blank expression on his face: "Your cousin is right. It's a rare occasion for us to meet today. It's not inconvenient to go to the teahouse and sit down."
Li Sisi also agreed: "Yes, it's better to do it today than to wait for a day."
Li Sisi guessed the current situation based on her experience. Zhou Yiheng was probably a scumbag who was two-timing.
Now the two boats suddenly collided, and he panicked, afraid of capsizing!
The group came to the nearest teahouse, which had pavilions and towers, and beautiful women playing the piano and singing. The melodious lyrics sounded like the girls expressing their feelings.
In the private room on the second floor, the aroma of tea and food filled the air, and the warm sunlight from outside shone in through the window.
Nangong Jin stared blankly at the tea stove in the sunlight, watching the pure white smoke curling up.
The wolf cousin's gentle voice was in his ears, but the caring and considerate words made Nangong Jin feel very uncomfortable.
"Heng and I were engaged when we were young, and we grew up together, so our relationship is naturally deeper than that of ordinary people. Three years ago, Heng went to the Qilian Mountains to pick the Manluo flower, but unexpectedly, she disappeared in an accident."
"Everyone said Ah Heng had an accident, and that there was miasma and poisonous fog in the Qilian Mountains, so Ah Heng would definitely not come back. But how could I believe that my Ah Heng died like this? He was still so young!"
When she said this, Liu Ying glanced at Zhou Yiheng beside her, her eyes full of heartache but she forced a comforting smile.
"At the time, my family saw how grieving I was and suggested I marry Ah Heng's twin brother. But even though they looked exactly alike, in my heart Ah Heng and my cousin Yichuan were completely different."
Hearing her words, Nangong Jin couldn't help but think of the time when he recognized the wrong person.
I felt a pang of sadness in my heart.
Liu Ying continued, "At that time, I made a promise with my family that if Ah Heng didn't come back after three years, I would get married. I wanted to fulfill the fate of Ah Heng and I as childhood sweethearts."
Zhou Yiheng picked up the teapot on the stove and poured tea for Liu Ying, Li Nian and the others.
Nangong Jin's gaze followed the teapot to Zhou Yiheng's face.
His expression was calm, and he did not refute his cousin's words, which meant that what the woman opposite him said was true.
Even when Liu Ying finished her last sentence, she whispered, "I'm back."
Liu Ying raised her eyes and smiled: "Yes, you came back just in time."
She looked at Nangong Jin again: "Ah Heng and I are very grateful to Xiao Jin for saving our lives three years ago. We must also thank you for taking care of Ah Heng over the past three years. If it weren't for Xiao Jin's kindness, Ah Heng and I would have missed each other."
Zhou Yiheng coughed twice and said, "It's getting late. Yingying, you are weak. The doctor said you shouldn't go out for too long. We should go back home."
Liu Ying smiled slightly: "Okay."
She looked at Nangong Jin and said, "Sister Jin, if you are free, you can come to visit me anytime. When Ah Heng and I are ready for our wedding, I will find an opportunity to come and thank you in person."
Seeing the two of them getting up to leave, Nangong Jin suddenly stood up, his face pale as he asked, "Zhou Yiheng, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Zhou Yiheng looked at her and said, "Xiao Jin, I am very grateful for saving my life. When I find a suitable opportunity, I will come to thank you in person."
"That's not what I want to hear!" Nangong Jin's eyes burned, and he asked, holding back his tears, "I just want to know, what do I mean to you?"
Zhou Yiheng paused and said, "I lost my memory at the time and didn't remember anything. I only knew you, so I had some wrong ideas. I can't make the same mistake again."
