Chapter 53
When we returned to City A, it was exactly eight o'clock in the evening.
They took a taxi and returned to Ruan Yan's place. After washing up, they took out a souvenir they bought from Y City and placed it on the cabinet where they collected their memories.
Although I forgot to buy local specialties, I didn’t forget to buy souvenirs.
Looking at the cabinet, Ruan Yan said, "It seems we have one more memory."
"Yeah." Ming Yunle also felt a little emotional. He was very curious about what would be placed here next.
It should be accompanied by a beautiful memory.

When Xia Chen was at Ming Yunle's place, he would show Ming Yunle how to play the guitar from time to time.
But he didn't play for long and suddenly went back to playing the piano.
Xia Chen’s favorite instrument is the piano. It is the instrument he has persisted in for the longest time, just like Ming Yunle’s love for the violin.
Xia Chen played song after song, and Ming Yunle listened attentively.
By the time they came out of the piano room, a long time had passed.
Ming Yunle suddenly remembered that Ruan Yan said he was practicing the piano, and he didn't know how he was doing now.
After leaving the piano room, Xia Chen picked up his guitar again.
Ming Yunle could hear that Xia Chen was making progress bit by bit.
Xia Chen said: "I think I can stick to this hobby forever."
Hearing him say this, Ming Yunle raised his eyebrows.
This is really surprising. Xia Chen actually has very few hobbies that he can keep.
But when Xia Chen tries new things, he actually hopes that he can always keep liking it.
Ming Yunle said: "Congratulations."
For Xia Chen, this is really a good thing.
Xia Chen played for a while and Ming Yunyuan came over.
He had been outside in the yard and heard Xia Chen still playing the guitar.
Not long after, Xia Chen stopped and Ming Yunyuan applauded him.
It was almost sunset, and Xia Chen said, "I'm going to play guitar for your flowers while the spring breeze blows."
Ming Yunle had no objection: "Okay."
Xia Chen walked out of the living room, and Ming Yunyuan sat where Xia Chen had just sat.
Ming Yunyuan said: "It seems that Xia Chen likes guitar very much."
"He said he's likely to keep this hobby up for a long time."
"Really?" Ming Yunyuan was a little surprised, but then he thought about it and realized that there was a sign of this.
It's been a year, and Xia Chen rarely sticks to a hobby for a whole year.
Ming Yunyuan said, "No wonder I felt he had made a lot of progress when I saw him today. It's been a year."
"He still finds time to learn it, and it's sporadic, but that's all he needs."
"Aren't you good at it too? Haven't you played it in a while?"
"I played it just now, but you didn't hear it. I played it every time Xia Chen came to our house this year."
They sat in the living room for a long time, but Xia Chen didn't come back.
Just when they wanted to go and take a look, they saw Xia Chenxian walking back excitedly.
Xia Chen said, "When I get home, I'll go to the pavilion and play guitar too."
Xia Chen did not stay at Ming Yunle's house, but was picked up by Gu Jingshun.
It was said that it was on the way, but everyone knew that it was not the case at all. Gu Jing came to find Xia Chen.
Ming Yunle and Ming Yunyuan were still in the living room. They had thought about going out for a walk.
They were outside watching the sunset, and Ming Yunle took a photo.
Ming Yunyuan said, "Don't you often see the sunset here? Why did you think of taking a picture today?"
Ming Yunle said, "Yes, the sunset here is beautiful every day, why did you only think of taking a picture today?"
After saying that, Ming Yunle took a few more pictures.
Ming Yunyuan thought for a moment, took out his cell phone, pointed it at the sunset, and pressed the shutter.
"It seems that you have been deeply influenced by me." Ming Yunle said.
Ming Yunyuan put away his phone and said, "We're all in the same family, so it's normal for us to influence each other. Didn't I also influence you to play golf?"
"Let's go together in a few days?"
"When the time comes, I'll check the time."

When Ming Yunle went to find Ruan Yan, he found him watering the flowers.
At the entrance, Ming Yunle looked around and asked, "Where are my slippers?"
Ruan Yan was still watering the flowers on the balcony. When he heard Ming Yunle's question, he said, "Wash that one. You wear the gray one."
Ming Yunle put on gray slippers and thought they looked pretty good.
Ming Yunle washed his hands first before entering the living room.
When Ming Yunle passed by the sofa, he saw the blanket he bought, reached out and touched it, then walked towards Ruan Yanzai's balcony.
Ruan Yan saw it and said, "It was clearly given to me, but you ended up using it more often."
Ming Yunle said: "The one I picked out at first sight is definitely what I like."
Ruan Yan: "I can see that he always holds this blanket every time he comes."
After he finished speaking, he had finished watering all the flowers.
Ming Yunle looked at the beautiful flowers and took a photo of Ruan Yan with satisfaction, saying, "Not bad."
Ruan Yan laughed and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
Ming Yunle didn't leave, but sat down on the balcony.
Putting down the kettle, Ruan Yan washed his hands, cut some fruit for Ming Yunle, and placed it on the table in front of Ming Yunle.
Ming Yunle lazily looked at the flowers, basked in the sun, and picked up a piece of fruit and ate it.
While eating, Ming Yunle went to Ruan Yan's refrigerator as if he knew the place well and took out a box of cake.
It’s what I like. It seems that Ruan Yan prepared it in advance.
Ming Yunle ate a bite of fruit and a bite of cake while Ruan Yan was collecting clothes.
Their relationship has become quite natural.
When Ruan Yan was collecting clothes, Ming Yunle asked, "Do you need my help?"
Ruan Yan walked towards the cloakroom and said, "I don't need it for now, just a few pieces."
After lunch, they sat on the sofa for a while, and then went to Ruan Yan's study together. Ruan Yan would practice calligraphy from time to time.
The time for practicing calligraphy is not fixed, but Ruan Yan practices at least three times a week.
Ruan Yan didn’t practice calligraphy before traveling, but he made up for it later.
As long as it's less than three times a week, Ruan Yan will eventually think about making up for it.
At first, Ming Yunle just watched him practice calligraphy.
After watching for a long time, I became interested and started practicing with Ruan Yan.
However, Ruan Yan practices every week, but Ming Yunle is not so regular.
Ming Yunle is particularly focused when practicing calligraphy.
After writing a lot, he felt tired and put down his pen.
Seeing that Ruan Yan was still writing seriously, he didn't disturb him and just lay down on the sofa in the study.
After sitting for a while, he got up quietly and watched Ruan Yan write quietly.
Ruan Yan's handwriting is very beautiful, and he was amazed when he saw it for the first time.
Ming Yunle stood by and watched for a long time. It was not until Ruan Yan stopped writing that he realized belatedly that he was engrossed in reading.
Ruan Yan rubbed his neck and said, "It seems like I wrote for a long time today."
Ming Yunle glanced at the time and said, "It's indeed longer than usual. Let's go outside and take a rest."
Ruan stretched and looked at the trees and clouds outside for a while.
"The weather seems nice today, shall we continue playing badminton?"
Ming Yunle shook his head and said, "Let's not fight today."
Ruan Yan didn't say anything, and they sat quietly for a while.
Ming Yunle originally wanted to look at their cabinet which contained many souvenirs, but he saw a clothes hanger first.
Were there clothes hangers here before?
Ming Yunle looked at this strange yet familiar clothes hanger and thought for a long time.
It seems like there is, but it also seems like there isn’t.
Ruan Yan looked at him for a long time without any movement, and glanced at Ming Yunle.
Seeing what Ming Yunle was staring at, he said, "I put that hanger there the day before yesterday."
"Why do I feel like I've seen this hanger somewhere before? Haven't I seen it before?"
"No. You think it looks familiar because I have an identical one in my other room."
Ming Yunle was a little confused and asked, "Why is there a clothes hanger suddenly?"
"There's a reason for all of this. It's to prevent my clothes from being scattered around and making it inconvenient to put them away."
Sometimes Ruan Yan would go straight to the study as soon as he got home.
For example, if I bought a book that I really wanted to read, I would go straight to the study to read it.
Or if I bought something new and interesting, I would excitedly go into the study to try it out and play with it.
At such times, he usually only changed his shoes and did not take off his coat.
After looking at or fiddling with things for a long time, he would feel hot in the study and take off his coat and put it on the chair.
In this way, more and more coats were placed on the chairs in the study.
Ruan Yan discovered it later, but he thought he would still do it, so he simply put a small clothes hanger.
He had bought an extra clothes hanger at that time, and it was still in the warehouse. This time he just happened to put it in the study.
Ming Yunle also thought of this.
He didn't know all this before. Only after being together for a long time did he know Ruan Yan's habits.
He remembered that one time, if he hadn't reminded her, Ruan Yan would have forgotten to change his shoes.
"I didn't know you were like this before. Even after being together for so long, I still discovered a different side of you."
Ruan Yan hugged Ming Yunle and said, "Then spend more time with me. That way you'll know more and more, right?"
Ming Yunle: "Okay, okay, let's stay here tonight."
Ruan Yan pulled up Ming Yunle and said, "Don't you want to hear me play the piano? Now I'll show you."
He was pulled into the piano room by Ruan Yan, who sat in front of the piano and played a song for him.
This was Ming Yunle's first time watching Ruan Yan play the piano. He watched and listened attentively.
After finishing, Ruan Yan was a little embarrassed for once and said, "My hands are not used to it. I should practice more. But I think it will take a long time before I am satisfied with it. Since you want to listen, I will play it first."
Ming Yunle also played a song.
They still have a lot to talk about when it comes to piano.
They played the piano and chatted, sitting in the piano room until dark.
Ruan Yan said, "Haven't you eaten yet?"
For the first time, they talked so much that they even forgot the time for dinner.
Ruan Yan pulled Ming Yunle aside and asked, "Do you want to just eat something at home or go out?"
Ming Yunle said, "Just eat something simple, a bowl of noodles will be enough."
It was getting late, and Ming Yunle realized he was hungry belatedly, but he was too lazy to go out.
Anyway, he doesn’t have such high requirements for food, especially when he is hungry, as long as he can eat his fill, it’s enough.
Ruan Yan tied on an apron and started to make noodles, and did not forget to add some chili to Ming Yunle's bowl.
