old house
They drove for an hour to reach the coastal city of Dover. The sky was blue, with seagulls flying overhead from time to time. The green grass and white cliffs looked like a landscape painting. The sea breeze blew past, cleansing their body and mind.
"This is the end of the world. I've wanted to bring you here for a long time." Fu Xingchuan said to her.
Lin Qi opened her arms and felt the wind blowing. "I feel so free!"
"Lin Luo, I hope you are as free as the wind." Fu Xingchuan looked at her and said seriously, "I don't want you to be with me again just because you know I've loved you and been with you for so many years and you're moved by me."
Lin Qi frowned and used her hand to push a strand of hair away from her eyes. "What are you talking about? Do you think I would wrong myself?"
Fu Xingchuan relaxed his brows and said, "If you fall in love with someone else in the future, you must tell me first, and I will let you go."
"Shouldn't I be the one saying this?" The wind was so strong that it messed up Lin Luo's hair and blocked her vision.
"But you must also tolerate my continued love for you. Just let me stay by your side quietly, and don't drive me away." Fu Xingchuan approached and helped her sort it out. Lin Qi finally realized it and hooked his chin with her hand, "Coward, can you be more confident and let me love you forever?"
"I persisted for more than ten years."
Fu Xingchuan pressed his lips against her forehead and said, "I will definitely work hard."
Lin Luo stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips. After a few seconds, she wanted to leave. Fu Xingchuan put his arms around her waist, turning the passive position into the active one. Lin Luo's breathing became disordered.
It rained for several days in the UK and it got dark early, so Lin Luo had to stay in the hotel with Fu Xingchuan.
This man said he didn't like the British winter anymore, but his actions were honest. Lin Luo was pressed under him, and Fu Xingchuan touched her face. "Why are you shaking? The day hasn't even started yet!"
Lin Luo held his hand and said coquettishly, "Don't come! I won't be able to walk when we return home tomorrow."
"Then postpone your return for another day." Fu Xingchuan discussed with her.
"No, I have to work. Besides, will you be content if I postpone it for a day?"
His hands began to unhook Lin Luo's bra, "That shouldn't be the case!"
He took a light bite, and Lin Luo pushed it away, "Don't."
He was the first to feel wronged, "Didn't you tell me to work harder and try to make you love me forever?"
"Am I asking you to do this without restraint?"
"I just wanted you to see more of my strength in this area, so you wouldn't fall in love with someone else so easily!"
"What a lame excuse! What if the novelty wears off on me?" Lin Luo put her underwear back on.
"Then I'll learn a few more moves. You'll like them, I know."
Lin Qi paused while fastening the back buckle, and Fu Xingchuan tore it off and pressed her under him again.
"Slower!"

"Can you move faster?" Fu Xingchuan said gritting his teeth. Lin Luo just came in to deliver some fruit, and Tang Muchen looked at Lin Luo with a pout.
Lin Luo shrugged, "You were the one who said you wanted to play games with your brother-in-law. There's no point in looking at me."
"Brother-in-law, do you think I'm stupid?" Tang Muchen leaned in and whispered to Lin Luo, "Sister, why don't you give me a new one? What's so good about going back to your ex?"
"Kid, what are you talking about? Tell me about it." Fu Xingchuan felt that he didn't seem to be saying anything nice, so he stood up and waved to him.
Tang Muchen quickly hid behind Lin Luo. Fu Xingchuan wanted to teach him a lesson, but Lin Luo glared at him, "My dear brother, give in a little."
"Is there a reward for giving in to him?" Fu Xingchuan winked at Lin Luo.
"No, but if you bully him, I will punish you."
"How is the punishment?"
"Capital punishment."
Fu Xingchuan's mind flashed with some fanciful images, "I like it."
"You're not normal."
Their conversation was interrupted by Tang Muchen, "Hey, don't you think my room is very bright?"
"What the hell?" Lin asked.
"I, a big light bulb, feel that I am an eyesore. Humph, I'm not going to play with you guys anymore. I'm going to chat with my girlfriend." He took out his cell phone and walked away.
Fu Xingchuan looked at Lin Xiao and said, "He has a girlfriend."
"Yes, Xu Fanqing's niece, the one who was admitted to Beijing University a few years ago."
"This kid is good!" he exclaimed.
"Of course, much better than you."
Fu Xingchuan pinched her face and said, "That's not the case."
Lin Xiao pushed his hand away. "Don't touch me. My parents have been nagging you in the living room for a long time. I've never seen Uncle Tang talk so much."
He said coquettishly: "Then you have to say good things about me to them."
Lin Luo couldn't help laughing.
She left the room and found Du Yunyan in the living room helping her plan the wedding, inviting guests and all sorts of other things. She was busy and blissful, complaining to Lin Qiao about why she had to be with Fu Xingchuan, while she called Aunt Li, "Yes, yes, they're remarried. It was just a misunderstanding. They're still very much in love and very sweet."
Tang Heng was watching TV, and Lin Xiao was sitting next to him. "Uncle is angry!"
"without."
Lin Luo muttered softly, "She's just angry. She doesn't want to talk to me much and is very frugal with her words."
"Really not."
My phone vibrated. It was a message from Xu Yangyang. "No, did Fu Xingchuan propose to you? How can we skip a step and go straight to the wedding?"
Lin Xiao: [He said he was going to propose, but he didn't tell me. He probably wanted to surprise me!]
Xu Yangyang: [Did you forget? All men are like that.]
Lin Xiao: [No.]
Xu Yangyang: [The scar has healed and the pain has been forgotten. Last time, you two skipped too many steps, which led to the conflict and divorce. This time, you can't skip a single step.]
Lin Xiao: [Have you picked out your bridesmaid dresses?]
Xu Yangyang: [Don't change the subject.]
Seeing through her trick, Lin Qie obediently replied, "I understand."
"Lin Luo." Tang Heng called her suddenly. She raised her head and he spoke slowly, "The street lights in Changlin Lane used to be broken, and the road home was very dark, so I often went to pick you up."
"Later, my waist was injured and I couldn't pick you up, but I was always worried. As soon as I could sit up, you asked your mother to help me to the balcony. Every night I would look at that road, waiting for you to come home from school."
"But I always see another figure. It's Xiao Fu. He always follows you silently, protecting you...Uncle is relieved to leave you to him."
At that time, Fu Xingchuan liked Tong Yun. Could it be that Tang Heng was mistaken, and Fu Xingchuan was only returning home, not to protect her.
Lin Luo smiled faintly.
Du Yunyan hung up the phone and started complaining again, "You're so busy! Didn't you want to avoid a wedding before? Why did you suddenly change your mind? And why do you want to have such a large-scale one? You're inviting relatives who you haven't had any contact with for eight hundred years."
"Didn't you say the wedding must be a success? I want many people to witness our happiness."
Especially her.
"We make a lot of money, so we don't charge any membership fees. We'll just invite everyone over to eat, drink, and have fun." Lin Luo sat next to Du Yunyan and rubbed her shoulders. "If you're too busy, leave it to the professional wedding planning team."
Du Yunyan patted her face and said, "This kind of thing has to be done personally. I don't trust others to do it."
Lin Luo rested his chin on her shoulder. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "Is March 16th a good day? How did you choose that day?"
Lin Luo didn't answer directly, but smiled and said, "It's a good day, the best day."
"Nonsense, the best day is March 5th." Du Yunyan stopped what she was doing and looked at her carefully, her eyes reddened. "How come you've grown so big in the blink of an eye?"
Lin Luo noticed the white hair hidden among her black silk stockings, "Yeah! How come you have aged so much?"
"You are not a child anymore. When I was your age, you were already in the first grade." Du Yunyan pinched Lin Luo's arm.
Lin Luo turned around and looked at Tang Heng, then spread his hands and said, "It's started again."
Lin Luo returned to her room. Fu Xingchuan had just finished his meeting. She walked over, put her arms around his neck and leaned against him. "My birthday is coming up soon. You won't be too busy to forget, will you?"
"How is that possible?" Fu Xingchuan said seriously, "Your birthday is a very important day."
"How important is it?" Lin Luo asked casually.
Fu Xingchuan thought for a moment before answering, "It's equivalent to my Spring Time."
"You made up a new word during the Spring Festival!" Lin Xiao pinched his ear. "It's so corny!"
Fu Xingchuan suddenly mentioned, "That love letter you wrote was so corny, I'm still the moon..."
"Ah, I told you not to mention this again. I was young and ignorant at that time." Lin Luo hurriedly covered his mouth.
"You still like me now that you've grown up." He smiled.
"You are more than just the moon now."
"What else is that?"
Lin Qiao said sweetly: "It's the street lights, the spring rain, and the sweet osmanthus..."
"Osmanthus fragrans"
"Well, I smelled the fragrance of osmanthus when I first saw you. And recently I smelled that familiar scent again."
"Let's go home!"
"It's still early."
"I have a surprise for you."
Lin Luo bit her lip, her heart beating faster. He wasn't going to propose, was he? She wasn't ready yet! She was dressed casually today, not even dressed up!
In the car, Lin Luo was sitting in the passenger seat, looking in the mirror. Fu Xingchuan glanced at her, noticed her actions, and chuckled.
The closer she got to home, the more nervous Lin Luo became. She felt like she couldn't hear anything and her other senses had disappeared.
Fu Xingchuan covered her eyes and said, "Don't peek, just move forward."
"Are we there yet?"
"Not yet!"
"Am I beautiful now?"
"pretty."
"That's good." Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask again, "Are we there yet?"
"We're here." Fu Xingchuan took his hand away. Lin Luo slowly opened her eyes and saw their home, which seemed to be a hallucination of an old villa.
There is a new sycamore tree with green leaves and new buds in the house, and several strings of star-shaped lights are hung on the tree.
Lin Luo smelled a delicate fragrance and turned her head to see two osmanthus trees in the corner, covered with tender yellow flowers.
It was exactly the same as the old villa in her dream.
"How did you recover?"
"When we were renovating, I asked Xu Yangyang to reserve space according to the layout of the old house. During the time we were apart, I searched every street and alley in Jinghe City and found this sycamore tree that looked most like it. I always felt like something was missing, so I later transplanted two osmanthus trees."
Fu Xingchuan walked up behind Lin Qi and hugged her. "I've read many books, but my favorite is 'The Grass and Trees of the World'. I want to live an ordinary life with you, a house for two, three meals a day, four seasons a week, enjoy the plants and trees, travel around the world, read poetry in my spare time, listen to the rain, and grow old together."
Lin Luo's eyes reflected the shape of star lights. She turned her head to meet Fu Xingchuan's gaze and said, "I do."
