"Walnut, why are you here? You suddenly left before, I thought..." Lin Mo followed Walnut through the huge Qin family's old house.

"Mo Mo, I went out on a mission that time. Qin also has a lot of things to do, just like Shadow." Walnut turned around and smiled at Lin Mo.

"Originally, I was still outside yesterday. I don't know why the master suddenly called me here. Now it seems that he just wanted me to accompany you."

"You are not familiar here. He may be afraid that you will be alone."

Lin Mo pursed his lips: "Are you saying the opposite? He asked me to come because he was afraid that Miss Jiang would be lonely, so he asked me to accompany Miss Jiang."

"Well..." Walnut touched his chin and nodded, "Master is not interested in Miss Jiang."

Lin Mo was too lazy to continue this topic.

She and Qin Song were really not familiar with each other, so Qin Song was interested in her? She would think that she was being self-righteous.

The place where Qin Song lives is called Jingxinyuan.

As soon as you enter, there are some plum trees, but this season the plum trees are already lush and full of leaves.

There will be a large Bodhi tree in the center of the courtyard, with a stone table under it and a jade chess set on it.

Although there is tranquility and elegance everywhere, there is not a single leaf on the ground, and there are neatly arranged orchids on both sides of the gravel road.

"The place where the master lives was once occupied by an old lady, so it is so quiet and elegant. The decoration in the previous mid-level villa was very simple, and that is the style that the master likes."

Walnut explained to Lin Mo dutifully, "This Bodhi tree is hundreds of years old! The two of us combined are not even half its age!"

Lin Mo raised his head and looked at the bodhi tree. There were some red ribbons hanging on it. He felt strangely familiar, "Why are there red ribbons hanging on it?"

Walnut explained, "That is a way of praying for the children of the Qin family. Every New Year's Eve, they will write their wishes on a red ribbon, then hang something on it, throw it up, and wrap it around the branches."

Lin Mo nodded. This situation was probably very common in Buddhist temples, so it was understandable that he felt familiar.

"You came."

Under the eaves, stood Qin Song.

Today he was wearing a light blue shirt and a thin, soft white coat. He had an extremely plain face and his dark hair was a bit messy.

He looked very harmless, like the neighbor's younger brother.

His face is too refined, but his temperament is somewhat restrained.

Lin Mo looked over and saw Qin Song standing behind a clump of warm blue hydrangeas in bloom. A row of blue hydrangeas were planted under the eaves. They were very beautiful. The flowers were scattered, bathed in the sun, and spreading their branches.

Qin Song looks like this, completely different from how he usually looks in front of others.

"What kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" Lin Mo said in a rude tone, "You called me over for dinner so early in the morning? You are interesting."

"Ha." Qin Song chuckled, with a hint of helplessness on his plain face, "Otherwise you would have run away."

"The food is ready, come in."

Walnut did not follow him in, but stood outside.

The light in the room is not very good, it is relatively average, and the room is illuminated by the sunlight falling outside.

Fortunately, there is a skylight in the living room, so the room will be much brighter.

There are already more than a dozen dinner plates placed on a low table. The food looks very tempting and is exquisitely cooked. There are also two bottles of chilled plum wine and two purple-pink small wine glasses.

On both sides are two futons, which are soft and soft.

Lin Mo sat down and looked at Qin Song's calm and composed look. He always felt that it was different from the Hongmen Banquet he had imagined.

"Sister, these are your favorite dishes. You haven't eaten them for a long time, right?" Qin Song handed Lin Mo chopsticks, "In early summer this year, the plum tree behind the old house had a lot of fruit, and the servants picked them and made them.

Wine, this is my first time to drink."

"Even when there are a lot of plums, there are a lot of mosquitoes, which is very annoying. Even if you smoke mugwort, there are still a lot of mosquitoes."

Qin Song talks a lot.

Lin Mo frowned slightly, wondering why Qin Song was telling him this. Could it be that he was too lonely and needed someone to talk to?

Lin Mo felt that he had learned the truth.

She took her chopsticks and picked up a piece of stir-fried pork belly with dried prunes. When she ate it, it tasted sour, sweet, pink, glutinous and juicy, and it tasted very good.

She was originally in a bad mood and didn't really want to eat, but now she felt that the food was very suitable to her taste.

Qin Song just watched her eat, whether he was using his chopsticks to pick up the food for her, his usually sharp, suspicious, and always scrutinizing eyes were now as if they were filled with a clear spring.

The light is floating, with a faint and unpredictable look.

"Sister, we haven't sat down to eat together for many, many years."

"Actually, I even thought..."

Qin Song shut up.

He knew that Lin Mo had already forgotten everything, including himself and the Qin family.

All this is his fault.

The Qin family's fight for heirs was inherently cruel. His cousin was obviously better than him in everything, but unfortunately, she was a girl, so she still lost to him in the end.

The loser must leave forever. He cannot stay in the Qin family and pose a threat to the heir. He cannot leave the Qin family with secrets.

Qin Song still remembered that he lost his mother when he was still young. Although his stepmother was kind to him, she was very cold.

He is suspicious every day and is afraid of everything, but every time his cousin comes, he is extremely happy.

My cousin has been pretty since she was a child. She is different from other children. She has smart eyes and clever eyes. She always follows her grandma. Her laughter is light and charming, and she is extremely doted on by her grandma.

She is very confident, always wears red clothes, and stands out in the crowd.

Grandma always sits aside kindly, with only her cousin in her eyes. She will hug her affectionately and call her, "Ruan Ruan, Ruan Ruan, you are so smart, you don't leave room for others."

Ruan Ruan would proudly act coquettishly to her grandma, "That's me the strongest in the world. After all, my teacher is the most powerful grandma!"

Qin Song was very envious of his cousin, and had never been jealous. After all, Ruan Ruan at that time was loved by the whole family. He could not get close to her at that time, nor could he be on the same level as her.

Only one time, he was passing by a plum tree alone, and was hit by a plum core on top of his head. When he looked up, he found a beautiful little girl sitting on the branch of the tree.

She shouted to herself with a smile: "Hey, are you my stupid cousin? Do you want my sister to pick bayberries for you? This year's bayberries are so sweet!"

The early summer wind blew by, and Qin Song's young heart felt as warm as if it had been touched by the sun.

Now, more than ten years later, Qin Song raised his head and looked at the woman eating vigilantly across from him, feeling disgusted with him. He felt slightly startled in his heart, and it was even difficult to overlap her with Ruan Ruan back then...
