You get married, I hijack the marriage

Chapter 312 Maybe it has the taste of the past
After school every day, she would come to see the sapling first, watering it carefully and catching insects. She was afraid that if she watered it too much, it would die, and if she watered it too little, it would wither. She was always very cautious.

Under her careful care, the tree survived and grew better day by day, and later grew to be as thick as a wrist.

On her eighteenth birthday, she and Gu Jinchen carved their names on the tree, and Gu Jinchen added the words "together forever" at the end.

At that time, she really thought that they would be together forever, get married, have children, work together, do laundry and cook.

Even when he was sixty, he still loved her and spoiled her.

She thought that no one had taken care of the family in the years after she left, and the family might have died. Unexpectedly, the family was still alive and well, with such strong vitality.

She walked forward a few steps and saw the row of words carved on the thick tree. She didn't expect that after so many years, these words would still be there.

A man's clear and hoarse voice came to my ears: "Do you still remember this place?"

Here are the memories they share.

She lowered her eyes, her long black eyelashes covering her eyelids: "I was just taking a walk."

I didn't come here on purpose, nor did I come here on purpose to see this pomegranate tree, nor am I missing the past.

Gu Jinchen took two steps forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with her, looking at the tree full of fruits in front of him: "In the three years since you left, no one has eaten these pomegranates, so I asked Aunt Zhang to pick them and give them away."

She is the only one in the entire Shen family who likes to eat pomegranates, and she developed this taste when she was in Wuzhen.

Shen Youran remained silent.

Gu Jinchen picked two pomegranates from a branch that was bent under the weight and handed them to her. She looked at the big red pomegranates in his hand and pursed her lips, which turned a little pale because she pressed so hard.

She didn't reach out to take it, so Gu Jinchen stuffed it into her hand and said, "Try it, maybe it tastes like Wuzhen."

When she mentioned Wuzhen, her eyes became sore, she clenched the things in her hands, and turned away without saying a word. Looking at her back as she left in the sunset, Gu Jinchen's eyes dimmed. He turned around and looked at the pomegranate tree that was painted orange by the sunset, and smiled sadly.

He raised his hand and touched the tree trunk, stroking the names engraved side by side. The words on the tree did not become blurred with the passage of time, but became clearer instead.

That's because in the past three years, every year on her birthday, he would come here to carve the words again.

With every cut, he would silently say in his heart: Youyou, wait for me to pick you up.

……

Shen Youran walked back along the bluestone path and returned to the living room. Shen Shuna and the others had already ended the video chat.

Tang Huiru saw that she was holding two red pomegranates in her hands and smiled, "You are still the same as before. You like to eat this. You and Jinchen planted it before..." Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, she paused and said, "After dinner, I will ask Aunt Zhang to pick some more for you to take back and eat slowly."

"That was my favorite food in the past." She hadn't eaten this for a long time and could hardly remember how it tasted.

Aunt Zhang came out from the kitchen: "Madam, dinner is ready."

"I'll go call them." Shen Youran put the pomegranate into the fruit plate, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and then went to the chess and card room.

Ji Jinchuan and Shen Yaoting were still playing chess. The battle on the chessboard was fierce. It seemed that Ji Jinchuan had the upper hand, and Shen Yaoting had to think for a while before making each move.

Ji Jinchuan held her cold hand: "Where did you go?"

"I'm going to pick pomegranates." She smiled calmly, with a slight curve at the corner of her mouth, "It's time to eat."
