Chapter 25 A Bouquet of Flowers in the Morning

Shen Yanbai thought that he would suffer from insomnia at night, or even stay up all night, but for some reason, listening to Jiang Zhongyu's gentle breathing beside him, he fell asleep in a trance, and slept very peacefully. When he woke up, there was a lot of noise outside. Yes, mixed with the happy voice of a child from time to time.

Shen Yanbai opened the curtains, his eyes half-closed because of the glare of the sunlight, and from this half of his vision, he saw a lot of people standing outside in disorder, Jujuan, Xiaolu and Pingcuo's daughters-in-law were dancing rubber bands, and Jiang Zhongyu was sitting Accompanied by Duoji playing with the bouquet, I don't know where they picked the flowers, both yellow and red, and they turned into a beautiful appearance in the hands of the two of them.

Jiang Zhongyu seemed to have noticed something, and met Shen Yanbai's eyes.Shen Yanbai remembered that he had just opened his eyes, and his eyes must have been swollen to the brim, so he closed the curtains with a "shua".

He took a look at the mirror on the window sill, and found that the image was not bad, the handsome guy was handsome even after waking up, so he opened the curtain again.

Jiang Zhongyu bent down and touched Duoji's head and said something, with a gentle smile on his brows and eyes, persuading him patiently.

Duoji glanced at Shen Yanbai.

When he walked towards Shen Yanbai, Shen Yanbai was still thinking about the bite he got last night, and his hand was still aching.

But Jiang Zhongyu also followed...it shouldn't hurt him, right?

I don't know when it started, Shen Yanbai already had a subconscious sense of trust and security for Jiang Zhongyu.

Jiang Zhongyu took Duoji and stopped in front of the window sill. Shen Yanbai thought for a while, pushed the window open, and said, "Morning."

"morning."

Jiang Zhongyu also smiled and said, "Duoji, do you remember what I told you?"

Dorji kicked the corner of the wall with his toe in embarrassment.

Shen Yanbai looked at him curiously, wondering what Jiang Zhongyu had said.

Dorji didn't make any sound, but he lowered his head and stretched out his hand. A bouquet of wild flowers with morning dew appeared in front of Shen Yanbai's eyes, as if the beauty of the whole autumn was here.

The dewdrops on the tips of the petals even dripped down and fell into the soft soil.

Even the air has become fragrant.

"He's apologizing to you," Jiang Zhongyu said with a smile, "Show it with actions."

Shen Yanbai was a little flattered, took the bouquet of flowers in a hurry, and held it with great care. After thinking about it, he felt that he should also express it, so he said, "Thank you for your gift. I will give you one too."

Shen Yanbai searched all over his body, but he couldn't find a single valuable or meaningful gift.

Jiang Zhongyu said with a smile: "Actually, you don't need to return the gift. He will be very happy knowing that you forgive him."

Shen Yanbai persistently rummaged through his suitcase, and finally his eyes fell on the watch on his wrist. He had worn this watch for many years. In the past, it was because it was a gift from his ex-boyfriend, and later it was because it could cover the watch on his wrist. scar.

He thought for a while and took off his watch.

Jiang Zhongyu said: "This is too precious."

"My heart is indeed very precious," Shen Yanbai said without regard to others, "Duoji, here it is."

Dorje raised his head and glanced at Jiang Zhongyu first.

Jiang Zhongyu paused and said, "Take it. Say thank you."

Duoji snatched the watch from Shen Yanbai's hand immediately. He didn't say thank you, but hid behind Jiang Zhongyu, showing his small head, and smiled lightly and quickly.

Even Jiang Zhongyu was surprised, touched Duoji's head and said, "He should like you very much."

Shen Yanbai was taken aback for a moment.

Jiang Zhongyu said, "He rarely smiles."

Shen Yanbai found a rubber band in the room and put it on his wrist, even so, the scar still couldn't be completely covered.He couldn't turn a blind eye to his scars, so he always focused on his wrists, causing everyone to see his absent-mindedness while eating.

Phuntsok even asked him: "Does it still hurt? I'm really sorry, my child is mainly..."

"No," Shen Yanbai said hastily, "I just have a cold, so my appetite is not very good."

Pingcuo and his wife were kind people, and they sent cold medicine to Shen Yanbai's room after dinner.Pingcuo also brought a bowl of dark bitter concoction, saying that it was their folk remedy, drinking a bowl of it would be good for keeping a cold.

Shen Yanbai made an excuse to let Pingcuo go out first, the black concoction on the table was too much to drink.

He fiddled with the rubber band in his hand, not even knowing when Jiang Zhongyu came in.

"Not used to it?"

"What?" Shen Yanbai was startled.

"There's nothing covering your wrist."

"...Well, a little bit." Shen Yanbai said, "We should pass through other counties before arriving in Suojia, right? I'll just go buy a watch and wear it on then."

"Does it have to be a watch?" Jiang Zhongyu asked him.

Shen Yanbai didn't quite understand what he meant, the next second his wrist was suddenly held by the other party, and he lifted it slightly.

Shen Yanbai lowered his head and saw that Jiang Zhongyu had wrapped something like a tan leather collar around his wrist, and then tied it into a knot, which was just wide enough to cover the scar.

"Let's settle for a watch before buying it," Jiang Zhongyu said, "I searched for a long time and robbed it from my diary."

No wonder why this thing looks so familiar, it turned out to be the kind of winding tape that is often seen in diaries.

"Your gift is too perfunctory." Shen Yanbai said.

Jiang Zhongyu smiled: "I'm afraid you will starve to death before you buy the watch."

Shen Yanbai wrapped his palms around his wrists, and he also held the leather ferrule in his palms. It was slightly cool, and it felt astringent to the touch. At first glance, it was not the kind of good leather.

But Shen Yanbai quite likes it, probably because he is just a small look, someone will take it to heart carefully, and put it into action to do something.

Shen Yanbai was a little depressed again, he knew that Jiang Zhongyu was such a person, no matter who he was, he would do the same, not because Shen Yanbai was special.

Because of Pingcuo, several people stayed here for an extra day, and they should leave the next day after staying for another night.

In the evening, Jiang Zhongyu showed his skills in the kitchen, and even Shen Yanbai's expectations were full, let alone the two girls Juanjuan and Xiaolu.

"It looks like you guys are going to come down," Punco said. "We grew up eating Lao Jiang's rice. We haven't eaten since we separated from him last time. Not to mention I'm a bit greedy."

"Have you been staying together all this time?" Shen Yanbai asked him.

"Well, I used to stay in one place all the time, and then I left when it was over." Punco said.

"Where is it?" For the first time, Shen Yanbai had the idea of ​​spying on other people's privacy.

As a result, Pingcuo's mouth was stricter than anyone else's. He smiled at Shen Yanbai and said, "If Mr. Shen wants to know, you should ask Lao Jiang himself."

Shen Yanbai was a little disappointed, and also a little embarrassed as if the other party saw something on his mind.
